Speaker 1 Today is Wednesday, September 11th, and the New York Jets still have a quarterback.

Speaker 7 Yes, he survived.

Speaker 1 He survived.

Speaker 7 He survived. Memes was offline yesterday and off the thread.
And this morning. And just not existing.
I think Memes just came back to life about an hour ago.

Speaker 1 I don't even think he's back to life. I don't even know.
He seems...

Speaker 1 What's going on, memes, in the back there?

Speaker 1 You had some choice words for us.

Speaker 1 You resigned. I'm physically here.
Physically here. So, memes, you lost.

Speaker 1 A lot of greats have resigned by using a napkin from the New york jets yes yes and he did memes you lost one game what's up uh the defense looks so bad so so you're oh no it did chimed in he's right he chimed in memes this is if this if you take this one loss like this you the way you reacted was a playoff loss you you went you you took yourself off the the the group chat you didn't show up to work till one o'clock it's one loss i deleted everything off my phone too what it's one loss wait what do you mean you you deleted everything off your phone i all i have is my bank app and the roku uh app for my tv and this is wild everything's gone because this this reaction is what i could understand it if it was last year's game yeah this is the this is a delayed reaction you should have done this last year and then flip-flopped and done last year's reaction this year or or a or a super bowl loss is how you're acting right now you lost one game if you look at the jets schedule it going off of last night the the two biggest takeaways i had was the 49ers 49ers are still fucking awesome.

Speaker 1 And Aaron Rodgers, while limited running, like he doesn't have the same mobility, his arm is still there. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers is best.
Well, he's not, because he definitely is not the best.

Speaker 7 He also, did you notice that he didn't throw to the right at all? Yeah,

Speaker 1 his mobility is like he's looking.

Speaker 7 Do you see his pass chart, though? His pass chart is just all the left side of the field. He hasn't played in two years.

Speaker 1 I don't think he can.

Speaker 7 He can't move. He doesn't see right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but he can throw still. Yeah, he can still rip it.
So,

Speaker 1 why is this loss so hurtful to you when, again, like PFT said, last year should have been way worse?

Speaker 1 I mean, we waited all this time. Our defense was supposed to be really, really, really, really good.
It's week one. You're going to get Hassan Reddick back, right? I don't know.
I don't think so.

Speaker 7 On a day like today, especially, there could be a lot worse news involving the Jets.

Speaker 1 Yes. That's a fact.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true. Yeah.
Okay. Perspective.
What will you do if they lose like a playoff game? Yeah. I don't know.

Speaker 7 Memes.

Speaker 7 I don't think Memes is capable of handling even an 8-9 season at this point,

Speaker 7 which is shocking.

Speaker 1 Aren't you used to this stuff? No, but Memes, how old are you?

Speaker 1 29. Oh, okay.
Never mind. Yeah, he should be.
Memes.

Speaker 7 It's shocking.

Speaker 7 You haven't learned in seasons past that you're going to have some bumps in the road?

Speaker 1 What is going on? I don't understand being sad, which I get sad. I mean, well,

Speaker 1 not to,

Speaker 1 I don't understand what it's like being 0-1. Max, Hank, you guys agree?

Speaker 1 That is actually unfathomably sad, but I get sad after Bearski. I don't delete everything on my phone.

Speaker 7 Yeah, that was probably a mistake.

Speaker 1 Memes, you guys are playing the Titans next week. You have the Patriots, Broncos, Vikings.
in the next four weeks. Those are all winnable games.
Also kind of losable. Also losable.

Speaker 1 Good point, hank it's true they can't i mean they can't stop anything they can't they couldn't the defense look so bad every play was look bad you guys need a pass rusher yeah if there's one out there that's available but i asked max during the game he said hasan reddick's not good against the rush oh and and also why did sauce gardner come off the field for a while i believe it was his head oh his head sleeves look great though maybe he's addicted to golf can you tell me that's going around yeah it does make you miss a lot of work i know that what's the deal with the sleeves what sleeves well aaron Rodgers had like the standard floppy quarterback sleeve.

Speaker 7 Sauce had some floppy sleeves. Garrett Wilson.
Garrett Wilson had some floppy sleeves. What's going on with that?

Speaker 1 I don't know. I think it looks clean.
Memes, can I give you something that will make you cheer? It will cheer you up? Sure. Because this is sad.
It's week one. It's dramatic, is what it is.

Speaker 1 It's very dramatic. It's not even sad.
It's dramatic. It's week one.
Memes is being dramatic.

Speaker 7 He's a messy bitch.

Speaker 1 It's week one. And the biggest thing about this game was get Aaron Rodgers through this game healthy and hope his arm is still his arm, and it is.
So that's good.

Speaker 1 And you're playing the 49ers. The 49ers have been in like six Super Bowls in the last 10 years.
I don't know what the status.

Speaker 7 Yeah, but not with Jordan Mason at running back.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Jordan Mason was carved here. We'll get to Jordan Mason.
We got to talk about that.

Speaker 1 Memes got nasty on the group chat.

Speaker 4 You started it. What? You started it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I said Jet Sinks, but then you said it's game one guy, which I agree. It's game one.
And then you said Caleb Williams looks like Zach Wilson. That was very nasty.
That was nasty work.

Speaker 7 You want to apologize for that, memes?

Speaker 1 I apologize.

Speaker 1 I don't need your apology.

Speaker 1 You were right to say anything you wanted to say in that moment.

Speaker 7 But you are being very dramatic right now.

Speaker 7 We can't have this happen after every week.

Speaker 1 I just can't.

Speaker 1 I am 100% with you if this was your reaction in a end of season. Last year.
Or end of season playoff game. Like this is, I would be like, memes, take a couple days off.
That sucks. It's week one.
No.

Speaker 1 What are we? What the fuck are we talking about?

Speaker 2 Take a couple days off after a loss?

Speaker 1 True. The amount of times that I be sitting on the body, I don't fucking care 30 seconds after a heartbreak.
The worst moments are always after. I act like a bitch and I get killed for it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you're right. No, it does.
He doesn't talk.

Speaker 7 No, I'm not killing you for it. I just think that it's unusual that it happened after a pretty standard loss.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like the Niners are really good, dude.

Speaker 1 They were okay. We looked so good in the first quarter.

Speaker 1 I think he thinks that i i think the problem is i think he thought the jets were like like day one best team in the nfl yeah i think that's defense looks so bad yeah you you might also have early onset fleming yeah

Speaker 1 i watched this game with memes oh yeah please tell us

Speaker 2 i watched it with him and our other jets jets fan in the chicago office uh tom lay

Speaker 2 After the drive that Aaron Rodgers took the team down the field, they legitimately looked at each other and said, this is the best moment of my entire life.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 2 they were legitimately talking about other good moments in their life, like different milestones in their personal life.

Speaker 2 And they were like, I think this feeling right now feels better than anything else.

Speaker 2 It wasn't like a hyperbole, they were comparing it to other moments.

Speaker 7 And what was the score at that point?

Speaker 1 7-6.

Speaker 1 We were going to the Super Bowl. I love it, memes.
That's how you got to ride the roller coaster. But now, the roller coaster,

Speaker 1 you got to come back to Earth. You got to come back to the show

Speaker 1 you quit yeah

Speaker 1 i uh

Speaker 1 so i watched the game with hank i took in a direct tv refugee that's nice he came over good for you we had a great time also hank explained to me uh

Speaker 7 that

Speaker 1 i accidentally just paid for like six different pick cable packages oh yeah i didn't realize i have full youtube tv yeah and cable yeah same

Speaker 1 whoops yeah i got i got that too i thought it was just through my cable that I got YouTube TV and Hank's like, no, dude, you're just double paying for it.

Speaker 7 Yeah, yeah, I do that too. If you gave me like a technology audit, I'm probably pissing away $600 a month.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, it was bad. Lovely house, though.
I got the full tour.

Speaker 1 It was like a...

Speaker 1 Like one of those children's books in like a doctor's office where you're like trying to spot something and it was just like spot the TV in this room. Yeah.
In every room. Yeah, there's a lot of TVs.

Speaker 1 Every room has a lot of TVs.

Speaker 7 Were the snacks good enough for Hank? Okay.

Speaker 1 I said before he came over, I was like, do you want any snacks? Do you want any food? He's like, I'm healthy. All right.
So he didn't even eat.

Speaker 1 I offered him mini Starbursts.

Speaker 7 What'd you have for dinner?

Speaker 1 Chicken sandwich. Wow.
He's been a health guy. But it was great.

Speaker 1 I've took in my DirecTV refugee. I did promise that DirecTV would fix it.
They did not. So then I had to do the right thing and bring in Hank.

Speaker 1 I almost bought the YouTube TV and did the double cable packages, but I'm holding on for one more week. Okay.
If we go another week, then I might have to do it or just cancel my DirecTV.

Speaker 1 But I was close to doing it. And then you texted me and I was like, you want to come over? I was like, I'm just going to forget about dealing with this now.

Speaker 1 And well, you're welcome to come over next week. Thank you.

Speaker 7 I was in a hotel room and then I put it on ESPN and it said, you can't get the game. They're doing the dispute right now with DirecTV and ESPN.

Speaker 7 And then I was like, shit, I'm on like two pain pills right now. I can't go out to a sports bar and watch the game there.
But it was on ABC. So is the solution just change the channel to ABC?

Speaker 1 No, because that's how it started for me on Saturday with the Tennessee game. I was trying to watch the Tennessee game on ABC and it wasn't on ABC or ESPN.
So

Speaker 7 I don't know. They're picking and choosing.

Speaker 1 I also didn't check last night about that, but

Speaker 1 you probably should have checked.

Speaker 1 But we had fun.

Speaker 1 It was fun having you over.

Speaker 7 It also might not be on ABC in every market. This whole thing is above my pay grade.
Yeah. I'm just mad at everyone.
I don't

Speaker 7 at this point, I don't care who's right and who's wrong. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm just making sure I basically have an apocalypse bunker for cable services. No matter what, I'll have it.

Speaker 7 Yeah, like when hard knocks went off, guess what?

Speaker 1 I had it. I had it locked.
Had it. Double pay.

Speaker 7 That's why you waste all that money every month. Yeah.
It's just to feel superior over people.

Speaker 1 Yeah, for that one moment.

Speaker 1 As for the other part of the game, the Niners did look really good. Jordan Mason was awesome.

Speaker 1 He's been like, I think he had like 5.8 yards per carry in his career. Obviously, he's the backup, but like Niners fans know

Speaker 1 he was the real deal. He did slip up and said afterwards that he knew he was starting since Friday.
Fantasy owners are very upset about that.

Speaker 1 Very upset about that, but I'm sure Florio is going to have a long piece.

Speaker 7 Yeah, this is going to be a federal investigation.

Speaker 7 Actually, this might be what gets Congress to do something because they were talking last year about the whole Joe Burrow thing when his hand injury wasn't reported correctly. You remember that? Yep.

Speaker 7 But I guarantee you, one of these dorks in Congress had Christian McCaffrey on their fantasy team and obviously didn't bench him going into the weekend. It personally affected them.

Speaker 7 Now it's probably like Nancy Pelosi is going to do a full investigation. Yeah.
And we're going to get to the bottom of it finally and figure out what's going on. Cannons are

Speaker 7 so he said after the game,

Speaker 7 Jordan said that he was told on Friday that he was going to get the start. Yeah.

Speaker 7 And then Kyle Shanahan said afterwards that he misspoke and he told him on Friday, be ready to get some action on Friday, but not that you're starting on Friday. We're going to need you on Friday.

Speaker 1 Which the Niners did have Christian McCaffrey as questionable. Yeah, and that it's not the worst explanation ever.

Speaker 7 Like, if you didn't know if Christian was going to play, you're going to be getting a lot of touches. I'm going to let you know, you better be ready on Monday night.

Speaker 1 I felt bad for him because afterwards, he was like, This is why I don't talk to the media.

Speaker 1 I mean, he made a mistake slipping up, and now that's the story when the story should be at an incredible night.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it looked awesome. Is this,

Speaker 7 if we're grasping that straws for Panthers fans to be excited about, is this as close as as you've gotten in a long time to having a dub that Christian McCaffrey didn't look as irreplaceable as some people thought that he was?

Speaker 1 I was actually thinking the Niners should trade Christian McCaffrey.

Speaker 7 It's a system. He's a system running back.
Four picks.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Keep it going.

Speaker 7 System running back.

Speaker 1 They did look awesome. Like the Jets defense, every guy was open every single play.
Brock Purdy didn't even have... Like, his numbers weren't crazy, but I thought he played pretty well.

Speaker 7 He did. There always seemed to be a guy that was streaking open.
Kyle Ushek even caught a

Speaker 7 deep bomb.

Speaker 1 Fullback wheel rat.

Speaker 7 I had him to score 17 to 1. That was tough for me.

Speaker 1 Did you take him? I had him with Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 7 Also,

Speaker 7 I don't want to jinx it. Just spreading awareness.
The field goal bet's hot right now. Yeah.
4-0 right now.

Speaker 1 Field goal kickers are too good. We're 60%.

Speaker 7 No, this is the last like two and a half years.

Speaker 1 I know, but they're like, they're getting to the point where they're just automatic everywhere.

Speaker 7 We're 60%.

Speaker 7 And it's always plus money. And it's really the only bet that enables me to bet other things in football season.
It's the only thing that keeps me afloat. Primetime field goals.

Speaker 7 And it all started because we had a dumb idea that it looks like the ball travels farther at night. And it does.
And it does.

Speaker 1 Also, my other note from the game was shout out Ricky Pearsall for wearing the Rolex. That was awesome.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He was on the sidelines, and they were showing him and talking about the fact that he got shot through his heart or through his chest.

Speaker 1 And the story is obviously that he was mugged,

Speaker 1 you know, the guy was trying to rob him of his Rolex. Had the Rolex on.
That's a flex. Yeah.
He's going to be back. Dog.

Speaker 1 Also, Zach Wilson got the worst stray of all time when Troy Aikman just said point blank, the Jets have had the worst quarterback play in the history of the league in the last three years.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's got to suck, sitting there and watching that. Yeah.
In the history of the league. That's a silver lining, memes.
Yeah, memes.

Speaker 1 Can you say that stat again? He said it wasn't a stat. It was, he's so checked out.

Speaker 1 Troy Aikman said the Jets have had the worst quarterback play in the history of the league in the last three years. That's true.
Okay, so it's bad. Now you don't.
Now you don't.

Speaker 7 Congratulations. It's better.
Congratulations. And Aaron Rodgers, he did not look bad last night.

Speaker 1 No, there was an insult graphic, though.

Speaker 7 What was the insult graphic?

Speaker 1 Last year, week one, Zach Wilson's stat line was similar. Oh.
And they won. Oh,

Speaker 7 but passing yards are down this year. And the huge sample size that we have of one week.

Speaker 1 Memes, pick yourself up and dust yourself off. You're going to be fine.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you're probably right. Yeah, I know.
I've been in your shoes a million times. Yeah, it gets bad, and then you got to get up and be like, hey, next week's going to be awesome.

Speaker 1 Again, I don't know. I am 1-0, so it is hard to talk.

Speaker 7 Memes is like, memes is like, Racini's laughing.

Speaker 1 She's loving this. Florios are going crazy.

Speaker 7 Did you fall asleep thinking about Mike Florio dancing in your head? He didn't sleep.

Speaker 1 Mike Florio had a good article this morning. Oh, okay.
About the Jets are better 0-1 with Aaron Rodgers than 1-0 with Zach Wilson. Yes.
There you go.

Speaker 7 It's not even close.

Speaker 1 Duh.

Speaker 1 Wait.

Speaker 1 You needed Florio to tell you that? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I needed some reassurance. Oh, my God.
Yes. You are a mental mess, man.
I'm concerned about you. Seriously?

Speaker 1 We were legitimately like, he might not show up today. Week one.

Speaker 7 Okay. Yeah, there was a possibility.

Speaker 1 All right, memes, here's another positive.

Speaker 1 What made you decide to come in? My dad called me a pussy. Ah, good.
Shout out, Mr. Memes.

Speaker 1 Way to get your boy into work. Here's another positive, memes.
Did you cry last night or today? Yeah. What? No.

Speaker 7 Wait, was it like a steady stream of tears throughout the entire game? Was it one play?

Speaker 1 I was like, fuck this. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 I mean, no one can question your fandom. No.

Speaker 7 Yeah. And this is all because you have expectations.
Like, imagine if Aaron Rodgers had run for vice president, actually. You would have no expectations and you wouldn't care.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I also didn't blow up, so that's good.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 7 It's just, you should have seen coming, memes. This is the second time that Aaron Rodgers has lost to Shanahan.

Speaker 7 That's the actual vice president for RFK.

Speaker 1 Yeah. There you go.
That's a good one. Thank you.

Speaker 1 I didn't know that person existed.

Speaker 7 Max knew. Max is a big, big politics guy.

Speaker 1 Big, big politics guy over here.

Speaker 7 Which is left, which is right?

Speaker 1 Right is red. Yeah.
Republican. Yep.

Speaker 1 I'll never get that one wrong.

Speaker 1 Memes, here's another positive because it's Wednesday. We're going to talk college football.

Speaker 1 I'm going to give you my top 12.

Speaker 1 You can stop me whenever you want, PFT, when you disagree. But Georgia's my number one team.
There we go. Disagree.
Number one team. Okay.

Speaker 7 I got Texas.

Speaker 1 I have Texas two.

Speaker 1 Georgia's one.

Speaker 1 Georgia's my number one team. Texas two.
Ohio State's three. Tennessee.
Penn State. USC.

Speaker 1 Miami, Alabama, Ole Miss, Missouri, Iowa State, because they beat Iowa and Northern Illinois.

Speaker 7 I might flip-flop Penn State and USC.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Penn State has, I mean, the West Virginia at West Virginia true road win

Speaker 1 was pretty impressive. Yeah.
But, yeah, I mean, and they did, Penn State didn't look great this weekend against Bowling Green. But

Speaker 1 the big story from the weekend, so we talked about it a little bit, but obviously we're going to talk about with Thomas Hammack coming on.

Speaker 1 NIU not ending Notre Dame's season, but they cannot lose another game.

Speaker 1 It also is the first time since the AP poll came out,

Speaker 1 since the AP top 25, that a conference has six of the top seven spots. So the SEC has six of the top seven spots, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Ole Miss, Missouri, and Tennessee.

Speaker 1 And we get what everyone thought was going to be the only ranked matchup this weekend, Missouri and B.C. Yeah.
Everyone expected that.

Speaker 7 Yeah, B.C., juggernauts. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I have, so my big winners for the first two weeks are USC and Tennessee in my mind. Because I like, I'm not counting Georgia and Texas because we figured they were going to be top teams.

Speaker 1 They were the, you know, either the first, second, or third odds to win the championship.

Speaker 7 Well, no, I'm going to go horns up and say that not everybody thought that Texas was going to be here. What do you mean? A lot of people thought that Texas was going to lose to Michigan.

Speaker 1 I mean, they were seven and a half-point favorites. Yeah, but I mean, if we go back and talk about Texas' road, but they were, they were preseason, they were the third favorite to be a national title.

Speaker 7 I'm just maybe it's a recency bias thing, but the way that they looked against Michigan, the final score, I don't think does that game justice

Speaker 7 could have been a lot worse. I think Texas is very good.

Speaker 1 I think Michigan is very bad. Not very bad, but they're going to win seven or eight games.

Speaker 1 I think they're going to get in trouble offensively.

Speaker 7 They're a flawed team, yeah.

Speaker 1 But USC and Tennessee were my two teams that I looked at. I was like, before the season, people had questions.
USC's defense looks awesome. Tennessee Nico is the real deal.

Speaker 1 And they both have had statement wins in the first two weeks. Those are the two teams that like the big climbers in my mind when you talk about preseason to two weeks in.

Speaker 7 Yeah, Nico looks amazing.

Speaker 7 They looked amazing against NC State. And who knows, NC State might even compete for the ACC still.
Like, I don't necessarily write them out. The ACC is kind of garbage.

Speaker 1 Dave looks pretty bad.

Speaker 7 Dave looked bad, but you never know. The ACC hasn't looked great yet.

Speaker 1 I'm okay writing him off.

Speaker 7 USC, the last game of the season for USC, Notre Dame, right? Yeah.

Speaker 7 If you're out there saying that Notre Dame is disqualified from the playoff for this loss,

Speaker 7 that might be a playoff game for Notre Dame. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. They are in the playoffs if they win the rest of their games until that USC game.
Yes. In fact, their playoffs start right now.

Speaker 1 Their playoffs do start right now. Yeah.
Yeah. Purdue.

Speaker 1 And then I think they play Louisville, which they're good. But yeah, that will be, and USC to me is like, it's just been the question forever of if Lincoln Riley ever got a defense.

Speaker 1 Obviously, Utah State, you can't judge at all, but they did hold LSU to 20 points and they shut out Utah State. Looks like they learned how to tackle.
Yeah, their tackle. Tackle changes everything.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it's a pretty big part of football. Yeah, and they didn't do it for a really long time.
And it helps your offense, too. Big time.

Speaker 1 The other one was Oregon has looked bad.

Speaker 7 Oregon looks real bad. Yeah.
Where are they right now in the AP?

Speaker 7 I feel like there's maybe

Speaker 1 17.

Speaker 1 No. What?

Speaker 7 I would have them at 17.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're saying where they are or where you have them?

Speaker 7 I would

Speaker 1 not 17 in the AP.

Speaker 7 I would drop them big time.

Speaker 1 yeah i mean they are 2-0 but they didn't they needed two special teams uh touchdowns to beat boise as 20-point favorites they struggled with idaho i also really like boise i would imagine they're like eighth uh if i had to guess what are they ninth ninth i really i really like boise state yeah the running back is a beast yeah ash and genti he's got nine touchdowns and 450 yards through two games i just love the balls on a guy who who goes to a group of five school that does the heisman pose yeah he was he was great, and they got more shots.

Speaker 1 I think they play some more Power Five teams. I think they play Washington State and maybe Oregon State, so they have a couple more shots at it.

Speaker 1 I also had the,

Speaker 1 I love Iowa State versus Iowa, the,

Speaker 1 what is it, El Asico is what they call it.

Speaker 7 El Asico, yeah.

Speaker 1 Online, yeah.

Speaker 1 But you just always know it's going to be a weird game, and it's usually especially a weird game.

Speaker 1 Like, it either goes one of two ways, Iowa beats the shit out of him, or Iowa State wins, and it's a weird game.

Speaker 1 And it was a weird game because it looked like Iowa was going to beat the shit out of them. And then you get weird scores going on, and they won 2019.
I just, it was a great game.

Speaker 1 I was like, damn, Iowa State down 13,

Speaker 1 not giving up.

Speaker 7 I was impressed. Yeah, and the weird thing is whenever you see Iowa do anything on offense, you're like,

Speaker 7 they're one of the best teams in the country that can score like this. And so at the start, they started scoring points and you were like, shit, Iowa's for real this year.

Speaker 7 And then they just went back to old Iowa.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Like pretty quickly. That flip, it's very easy for them to flip that switch and just go back to what we've always seen out of Iowa.

Speaker 1 They also had Kirk Ference came out to Many Men. Yeah.
Which was awesome from his one-game suspension.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I'm sure that's his favorite song. Yeah.
Yeah. He loves 50.

Speaker 1 And then the only other one I had that we had to talk about was Colorado.

Speaker 1 Well, Nebraska's back. That should be said.
Nebraska is back. That was an electric, electric

Speaker 1 place in Lincoln on Saturday night. It was so much fun watching that game.
But Colorado,

Speaker 1 it's bad vibes everywhere. Like Shador saying, blaming his offensive line.
They tried to basically do a patchwork offensive line. I think they have an 18-year-old starting at guard.

Speaker 1 It was bad.

Speaker 7 It was bad. And then Shador went to the locker room before the game was over.
Yeah. Like two minutes left in the game, right? Took himself out.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 It was not good.

Speaker 1 And their defense played, like, going to that game, I was like, they're not going to be able to stop Nebraska. Their defense actually played well.
Their offense stunk.

Speaker 7 They played, yeah, they played pretty good on defense.

Speaker 7 I'm just glad that this game was never really in jeopardy because it had maybe, maybe the worst 15-minute stretch of officiating that I've ever seen in any sport. Yes.
It was so bad.

Speaker 7 Who's the ref analyst that they were using for this one? Was it Terry McAuliffe? It might have been. It might have been Terry, but they were just laughing.

Speaker 7 They ran out of because when you're a former ref and your job is to analyze ref calls on TV, you don't always say like, wow, they really blew this one.

Speaker 7 You find ways to be like, maybe this is what they saw. After like the fourth bad flag in a row, he just started laughing.
And he was like, I don't know what they're looking at on the field.

Speaker 7 This is very strange. So I'm just glad that there was no, nothing consequential came out of all those bad calls.
Yes. Because it was terrible.
And Colorado,

Speaker 7 there are the wheels could fall off. Oh, yeah.
The wheels could fall off.

Speaker 1 I mean, I think the wheels are going to fall off. And

Speaker 1 yeah, it's going to be. I mean, Shador's going to go to the NFL.
Yeah, and then what happens? Hunter's going to go to the NFL.

Speaker 7 What happens when Shador leaves? Is Deion going to ⁇ is he just committed to Colorado? He just loves that program. He's going to stick around for a while.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't say so.

Speaker 7 I wouldn't say so. I would say probably not.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 it does feel. And I don't know how many wins they have left on their schedule.
They do play Colorado State this weekend, which will be ⁇ that game was so awesome last year.

Speaker 7 Did you see the story about what they asked the home stadium to do after Shador scores a touchdown? What? I don't think this is true, bro. You don't think so? Okay, then I don't want to speak.

Speaker 1 Per Deion Sanders Jr. I don't want to spread.
I'm not mad at Barcelona for posting them.

Speaker 7 I don't want to spread misinformation online. What were they going to do? Well, the story was that

Speaker 7 anyone scores a touchdown for Colorado at home, they play the fight song afterwards.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Except when Shador scores a touchdown, then they play Shador's own song.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that seems fake.

Speaker 1 It seems fake, but obviously people will buy it.

Speaker 1 Barcelon posted, someone on Barcelon wrote that article with... basically that headline and then I saw Deion Sanders Jr.
like quote it was like come on man yeah well who on Barstool wrote the article?

Speaker 7 I don't know. We have sources that are more.

Speaker 1 I still like Deion, but yeah, it's not good in Colorado right now. He'd be the first to say it's not good.
Yeah. That was a bad game.
And Nebraska is back.

Speaker 1 It's fun that that crowd was awesome. And

Speaker 1 they have a very winnable schedule going up to week eight against Ohio State, which it will be awesome if they're highly ranked going into that game.

Speaker 7 Yeah, that'd be very cool. Also, I think I flipped on Rayola and how he dresses like Patrick Mahomes.
It's dress for the job you want, not the job you have. Yeah.

Speaker 7 And it's weird, but it's funny. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Again, it just really comes down to the facial hair and the haircut.

Speaker 7 If you win, you can do whatever you want.

Speaker 1 Yeah. If he had one of the others taken, like if he didn't have the facial hair, I'd be like, all right, he just got Patrick Mahomes' haircut.

Speaker 7 Hank's smirking about something.

Speaker 1 What are you not smirking? It's just big propaganda. What? Big T.

Speaker 1 Oh, Big T. Oh, BT.
Big T wrote.

Speaker 1 Oh, Big T got in that.

Speaker 1 He wrote the article. Oh.

Speaker 7 He wrote the article about it. Damn.
Are you saying Big T's fake news?

Speaker 1 It might be.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I am.

Speaker 1 That's exactly what he's saying.

Speaker 7 Okay, I'll get comment from Big T.

Speaker 1 That's exactly what he's saying.

Speaker 1 But yeah, college football is awesome. It's rolling.
Not a great slate this weekend.

Speaker 7 Do you think that Michigan is bad? Because I think that their offense is...

Speaker 1 Oh, no, I think it's horrifically bad offensively. Because they have...

Speaker 7 They've got like a... I don't know if it's two-headed monster is what they're calling it at quarterback, but it's so confusing why they put Orgy out there and they expect anything to work.
Yeah.

Speaker 7 It's like he's just going to run the ball.

Speaker 1 Well, I think they're going to probably start tuttle.

Speaker 1 So it's three-headed monster. But yeah,

Speaker 1 they just don't have any burst whatsoever. I mean, they lost 10 guys on the offense, I'm pretty sure.
So it's not crazy that this is happening.

Speaker 1 It does feel like Michigan was, they were so all in for last year, they kind of forgot that this year was going to happen. Yeah.
Which is, listen, flags fly forever.

Speaker 1 You can't, like, any Michigan fan would take that deal 100 times out of 100, but it's just now this year is going to be, I think, tougher than they expected. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Um, okay, should we do hot seat cool throne?

Speaker 7 Sure. Oh, also, I love the idea of a bunch of like libs from Berkeley going to Auburn.
Yeah. And being like, look, we care about college football.
That was a tough loss for Auburn.

Speaker 7 That was a really bad loss. Really bad loss.
You freeze hot seat.

Speaker 1 Really bad loss. Okay, let's do hot seat cool throne.

Speaker 7 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 7 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boar's Head premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 7 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 7 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Henry, hot seat, cool throne. My hot seat is the term defending the title.
Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 Friend of the program, friend of mine. I saw this.
Family member.

Speaker 1 Favorite guy ever. Joe Mazzullo.
Celtics coach was doing an interview, and they asked him about how he feels about defending the title, and he basically, you know, just took down the term forever.

Speaker 1 He said the phrase defending a title is a very passive-aggressive term.

Speaker 1 If you look at the animal kingdom,

Speaker 1 some of the strongest animals don't defend. Yes.
They're the most aggressive and they attack the most.

Speaker 1 So we're attacking the title.

Speaker 7 You're attacking the next title. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I love that. You knew he was going to come out with something.
Is it already training camp for NBA?

Speaker 1 I think Media Day is like September 22nd or something. Shit.

Speaker 7 I feel like they have the worst offseason.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 They get the whole summer. Summer.
Yeah, but you get to go to like Europe.

Speaker 7 The Olympics.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if

Speaker 7 you're not Jason 12. If you're Jason Tatum.

Speaker 7 Jalen Brown had a good summer.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, the best offseason by far. Is the NBA.
You think so? Definitely.

Speaker 1 No, I disagree.

Speaker 1 With hockey? No, golf. Golf.
We talked about it.

Speaker 1 We're going to talk about it with Scottie Scheffler, but golf is the best offseason because you get basically the entire fall. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's the best offseason.

Speaker 1 The only problem. I mean, we talk about this all the time, but I feel like you would want your offseason to be in in the summer.
Hockey might have it better. But football.

Speaker 7 Yeah, football.

Speaker 1 Imagine having to play in the NBA game while the football game's on. Yeah.
It couldn't be me.

Speaker 7 It couldn't be me.

Speaker 7 If you're a golfer, you got to pay the price for it, though, because in the spring and college basketball season, you have to play Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, which is tough.

Speaker 7 But then you get all football season.

Speaker 1 And all summer.

Speaker 7 And also, your job is to travel to nice courses. But you can skip

Speaker 1 Masters after March Madness. You can skip the tournament during March Madness.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 That's what I would do. That's what I would do.
I'd skip that tournament. I mean, it's basketball and hockey.
Okay. It's close.
Disagree.

Speaker 1 Because we like football here.

Speaker 7 The problem with the basketball and hockey situation is that your season is so long.

Speaker 1 But the seasons don't even really matter until after football season's over.

Speaker 7 But you can't travel anywhere. You can't, like, if you're in training camp or whatever they call it in hockey.

Speaker 1 Hank, think about having to play in an NBA game on an NFL Sunday.

Speaker 1 That's torture.

Speaker 1 No, that's torture. I wouldn't fans of one thing.
That's why I'm not playing in the NBA.

Speaker 1 And they're probably, and they're only, you know, they're either playing it, if they're playing during the day, they can watch at night.

Speaker 7 That's why I'm not in the NFL. Because if I was in the NFL, then I'd miss all the other NFL action.
Also true.

Speaker 1 Golf. All right.
Good hot seat.

Speaker 7 Thank you.

Speaker 1 And then my cool.

Speaker 7 I do like that, though. We're not defending the title.
Yeah. Look at Nature.
We're attacking it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we're attacking the title. Yeah, you knew he was going to drop something like this.
We're attacking 19. Yeah.

Speaker 1 My cool throne is social experiments. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Did you guys see this

Speaker 1 with the mukbanger? I did not understand it, but I want you to explain it to me because I saw it and I was like, don't understand it. Pass.
Yeah, I did some research today.

Speaker 1 I had some conversations because I also was a little bit confused, but it's fascinating. I think it's one of the more fascinating stories i've read in the last week um

Speaker 1 nikado avocado

Speaker 1 nikado avocado who i'm sure you guys are familiar with legend know him yep he is a youtube mukbanger okay now for those who don't know what mukbang is like i didn't uh for the most part up until a few hours ago i was generally aware but i was like

Speaker 1 is there any sexual element to it or is it just because it sounds like super sexual yeah yeah but it really is just

Speaker 1 youtube videos of people eating large amounts of food. Love it.
Yeah. That's a mukbang.
So you'd just be like, oh, you know,

Speaker 1 we could do them every Sunday if we wanted to. Our gambling situation is basically just a giant Raisin Canes mukbang.

Speaker 7 I think we've been unknowingly mukbanging each other for the whole like seven years. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So this guy. He's a mukbanger by birth.
Nikado Avocado. If you look up his old video.
Is that his real name? That's, yeah. Oh, sure.

Speaker 1 I think it's Nikado. No.

Speaker 1 Nikado Avocado. I'll try to think of what a full name for Nikado would be, but I couldn't even.

Speaker 7 I think that's the full name.

Speaker 1 You need a name that rhymes with avocado. He is a mukbanger.
Okay. And he was huge.
He would post these videos of him just eating disgusting amounts of food. Huge social numbers.

Speaker 1 He has like 4 million subscribers, and he's also fat as fuck. Fat.
He was fat as fuck.

Speaker 1 He's been posting videos for the last two years where he's large and doing these mukbangs.

Speaker 1 Then this week he posted a basically reveal stating that he pre-recorded two years worth of mukbangs and has been putting them out periodically

Speaker 1 and just losing all the weight. So if you're a fan of if you're a fan of this guy, you've been watching his videos regularly every few weeks.
He looks exactly the same.

Speaker 1 And then this week he just came out of the clouds like down 200 pounds.

Speaker 7 That's awesome. Genius.
It's a very, very smart strategy. Genius.
And then

Speaker 7 did he lose fans or are people happy?

Speaker 1 People are mad. That's what I initially saw with people being like, you know, fuck this guy.
I can't believe he did this. And I was like, looked into what he did.

Speaker 1 I was like, this is actually incredible. Yeah, why are they awesome? Why are you just mad about that? He did 50 videos and then didn't work for two years.

Speaker 7 Why are people mad about that?

Speaker 7 It took some balls on him, though, because I'm assuming that when he dropped his first video, when he pre-recorded all this stuff, he probably didn't have a massive following yet.

Speaker 7 And he just knew, I'm going to put these out. I'm going to record two years' worth of videos and I'll be a big star.
And then by the end of them, boom, skinny.

Speaker 1 That's incredible. Yeah.
Because it's such a huge payoff, and he's also skinny now. Yeah.
So, but does he lose the people because

Speaker 1 that was his whole thing, being fat? He probably does. Or also, I don't know how he's going to be able to

Speaker 1 muckbang as much food now that he's super, super skinny.

Speaker 7 That's what people are upset.

Speaker 2 James has also said that there's another conspiracy that says that these new pictures are actually old pictures.

Speaker 1 Oh, so he's back to being fat again. That, like,

Speaker 2 this right here is

Speaker 1 actually the social experiment. Just eat the food, guy.

Speaker 7 Just eat the food. And so the social experiment is to see whether or not people did support him getting skinny or not.

Speaker 1 And the real one is going to be him getting even fatter. So you're saying he pre-recorded the social experiment video.
So this social experiment video is like four years old.

Speaker 7 It goes back.

Speaker 1 Then he got super fat to record all these other mukbangs.

Speaker 7 I saw one theory that there's no loose skin, and there's a video with his cat that's no longer alive.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 it's always the cat. It's always the cat.

Speaker 1 But that would be saying that he recorded a video when he was super skinny,

Speaker 1 then got super fat. So there's still like

Speaker 1 a two-year gap. I did that unknowingly.
And

Speaker 1 this is wait.

Speaker 1 Let me show you the picture. I see a picture.
Oh, I didn't see a fat picture. I saw the skinny picture.
Everyone's freaking out.

Speaker 1 Also, he dropped this on NFL Sunday, I'm pretty sure, which didn't care. I don't think the mukbang community is worried about

Speaker 7 they should have watched Joey Chestnut at halftime. They would have loved that.

Speaker 1 They would have loved that.

Speaker 7 Now, wait, is it a possibility? Because taking a picture of yourself and being like, look how skinny I am. I'm going to put this up online after I'm done being fat.

Speaker 7 That's a thought that would occur to a fat person. Right.
To be like, I'm going to lose all this weight, then I'll gain it back by mukbanging. And then I'll reveal that I'm actually skinny.
Right.

Speaker 7 So maybe he was fat, then skinny, then he got fat. And now he's skinny again.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 We don't know how deep this goes. This goes very deep.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. Those are crazy pictures.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he looks fat and then skinny. Again,

Speaker 1 he could have just had time to do this.

Speaker 1 Like, I did not.

Speaker 1 I don't understand the reverse. I did the Nikado Avocado thing reveal over the last 10 years at Barstool by unknowingly mukbanging all the time and then getting really fat.

Speaker 7 So that second one, I don't know how people can say that there's no loose skin on him. He's wearing a shirt and boxers, so it's probably covering up any loose skin that would be there, right?

Speaker 1 I would agree.

Speaker 1 Hmm. He does look AI.
Cat. Remember the cat?

Speaker 7 Yeah, the cat. Yeah.
It's always, yeah.

Speaker 1 Cat came back to life. Cat came back.

Speaker 7 Oh, wow. Could it be a different cat?

Speaker 1 So he was just eating just to eat. I mean, mukbang videos are disgusting.
I watched a few. They're

Speaker 1 revolting. That looks like he's got the skinny guy, the loose tits.
The second picture. Yeah, it's loose tits.

Speaker 7 It's a little loose tits, and he's got like the kind of big face.

Speaker 1 He has loose skin on his neck.

Speaker 7 Big face.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay, I believe him.

Speaker 1 Nikado avocado.

Speaker 7 Way to go. I always thought that mukbang was something that like horny guys watched, but apparently not.

Speaker 1 I feel like it's like Ben Stiller's character in Dodgeball

Speaker 1 would watch mukbangs. Yeah.

Speaker 7 While he ate healthy. Yeah.

Speaker 7 To just like make himself not get fat. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Good cool throne.
Thanks.

Speaker 7 We should mukbang.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we do.

Speaker 7 We should call it mukbanging.

Speaker 1 True. All right.
PFT, your hot seat cool tronk. Well, I couldn't muck bang.
I thought about it. I was like, if I didn't muck.
But you can't have three bites. Yeah.
Yeah, you can't mukbang.

Speaker 1 I'd be the worst mukbanger out there.

Speaker 7 You could only mukbang on Vine.

Speaker 7 You'd be really good at that.

Speaker 1 The accidental mukbangers would be a good

Speaker 1 channel. Yeah.
Where someone just falls

Speaker 1 on the ground.

Speaker 7 It's just people eating. Is there one of these for people sleeping?

Speaker 1 Probably.

Speaker 7 That's the next thing. Just like all the things in your hierarchy.

Speaker 7 I'm going to do a mukbang, but it's just me having shelter.

Speaker 1 Yeah, me sleeping so hard. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 1 PFT.

Speaker 7 My hot seat is my bald spot.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 So

Speaker 7 thank you. I put a video up online yesterday.
The whole premise of it was to make people think that I did something really, really bad.

Speaker 7 And then at the end of it, I was like, Psych, all that stuff is not true. And I'm just getting my hair redone.
So that I hope that will be studied by lawyers in the future. That if

Speaker 7 your client is on trial for like armed robbery, you just confess that he murdered a bunch of people. And then at the end, you say, Psych, he didn't murder anyone, but he did rob a bank.

Speaker 7 And then people won't get mad at him for it.

Speaker 1 But yeah, we're not rebuilding.

Speaker 7 We're recalibrating. I love it.
You're attacking it. I'm attacking it.
I'm not going to defend getting a hair procedure. I'm just going to attack the people that come at me for trying to shame me.

Speaker 7 Because guess what? Women do makeup every day. That's true.
People do Ozimpic.

Speaker 7 I'm reclaiming it.

Speaker 1 Speaking of which, on that video, Marlon's man hit me up. He left a comment underneath saying, PFT, here's the deal.
You and your mom are invited to go to the Commanders game with me.

Speaker 1 First row, still love you, man. Mom, too.
And he said,

Speaker 1 please forward to PFT since bloggers run his account. Ooh.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 He's been going on since like 20 years. Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 1 So Marlin's Man

Speaker 7 believed the video. Yes.
Because in the video, I said, I'm not actually a Commanders fan. Dan Snyder's been paying me for the last seven years to pretend that I am.
Correct. That I bought my account.

Speaker 7 I'm not the original PFT commenter, and that I don't even do my own tweets. Yes.
I have somebody else that does that for me. Yes.
That was part of the belief. So he believed all that.

Speaker 1 And he wants to invite you to a commercial school.

Speaker 7 And my mom.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and your mom.

Speaker 7 You got one guy. I got one guy.
I got one guy at least. But yeah,

Speaker 7 it was a like three and a half hour thing yesterday. In six months, I'm going to have my hair back to 2016 level.
Fuck yes. I'm going to feel pretty good about it.

Speaker 1 Let's go.

Speaker 7 So, yeah.

Speaker 7 2016. You keep saying 20.

Speaker 1 Is that your peak hair?

Speaker 7 I think so. Yeah, I was thinking about that earlier.
I think so.

Speaker 1 You've thrown that out a few times and i feel like that

Speaker 7 well 2016 my hair is winning championships my hair was a dynasty and then got a little older lost a few pieces we had to recal it's like when the ravens drafted lamar jackson that's what i just did yeah like my hair right now is joe flacco he was sick a few years ago then he started some you know pieces not working so good bring in a new guy then we're going to be competing again how much did you losing like 30 of your hair on the case race influence this uh the the doctor said almost 100 So I had a perfect head of hair until the case race and my hair got stuck in that leaf blower and then Big Cat cut it off and that's what made me bald.

Speaker 1 It would have been funny if you had brought the leaf blower with you because we have that hair.

Speaker 7 Implant that.

Speaker 1 You could have used it, yeah.

Speaker 7 Also, I just realized that in my analogy about my new hair being Lamar, my old hair being Joe Flacco, Max's hair is just Patrick Mahomes. Yeah.
No matter what I do,

Speaker 7 Max's hair is going to kick my hair's ass. It's kicking your ass.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm happy for you.

Speaker 7 I feel good about it. I'm just going to be wearing a hat for the next three months as it grows in.

Speaker 1 And then which is a good thing because I got the willies when I saw the points in your head.

Speaker 7 Well, no, it's yeah, it's a bunch of scabs because they like grinded that shit. Yeah.
But it was cool. We're taking it back.

Speaker 1 Taking back the hair. We're taking it back.
Fucking love it.

Speaker 7 Not being ashamed. I love it.

Speaker 7 Because my options, I think I told you this before, but my options to me were either cut it off and just go bald naturally. Yep.
Or two,

Speaker 7 become a guy with long hair who's bald. And that is the worst.
It would have rocked. The skullet would have rocked.
It works on Terry Bradshaw.

Speaker 1 The skull it would have rocked.

Speaker 7 But I decided that that was not the future for me. Okay.
My cool throne is Deshaun Watson being a better football player than he is a person. Yes.

Speaker 7 So in a recent update to the debate on how bad he's gotten at playing football versus his personal life, he has been accused of sexual assault. Yes.
And it seems like the details are pretty bad.

Speaker 7 If If true, he should not be in the NFL. But you could say that about any number of accusations against Deshaun.
Yeah. And also about his football play, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Not a good guy.

Speaker 7 Not a good guy. So the NFL is like looking at it and monitoring it.
And the upshot of it is if

Speaker 7 he is credibly accused and he can be punished under the NFL code of conduct, then the Browns might be able to cut him.

Speaker 7 It'd still be like a giant cap hit. Right.
But I think it would be better for the Browns

Speaker 7 to get rid of him via any means necessary.

Speaker 7 Yeah. Any way you can.
And the bottom, it goes back to what we've said about Deshaun for the last, what, three years?

Speaker 7 Which is either he is the victim of the biggest, most coordinated, most ruthless smear campaign against an individual maybe in the history of sports. And

Speaker 7 or he's a disgusting human being who should be in jail.

Speaker 1 Ding.

Speaker 7 Either way, he stinks a quarterback. Yes.
But those are really your only two options that you have right now. Yeah.
But yeah, it's pretty ugly.

Speaker 7 And also, I've noticed that this is taking a lot of the sting off Russell Wilson's Denver Broncos contract being the worst contract.

Speaker 1 $85 million cap hit, I think,

Speaker 1 when they got rid of him. Yeah.
So it can be done.

Speaker 7 And it could be worse if you're the Broncos. Yeah.
Like every time you write that check, just be like, listen,

Speaker 7 at least he wasn't Deshaun.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And now

Speaker 1 the Browns need to start Jameis.

Speaker 7 Just start Jameis. Deshaun might also have a burner account.

Speaker 1 Oh. Maybe.
Do you have it?

Speaker 7 No, it's, I think Tate blogged it.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 7 Leroy Bickerstaff. Oh.
Which is a great name if you're going to create a burner account. It is.
It's a great name. He only responds to things about Deshaun Watson, refers to Deshaun as four.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 7 Guys in the locker room got fours back all day long.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 7 You never played the sport. You don't know four like that.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, I'm going to say it's not.

Speaker 1 If burner culture, there's, there's, especially with NFL, like, people are are so five-head that they know there's so many examples of burners getting busted that they know like fake burners.

Speaker 1 And the first one is if four had a tackle like Trent Williams, he'd be able to show his greatness. Four can't succeed when he's got no chance back there.

Speaker 1 This is someone cosplaying, is it Jesha Burner? Okay. Because he also gets he has guaranteed money.
Why does he care? Yeah. Well, because here's...
If he cared, he would just play better.

Speaker 7 Well, no, because here's the thing about people. No matter how rich you get, you still want to get online and get your takes off.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but this is the fact.

Speaker 7 Elon Musk bought Twitter to get his takes off.

Speaker 7 Yeah, but that's fair.

Speaker 1 But this is, yeah.

Speaker 1 This is too obvious. There's no way he would.
Burner accounts wouldn't tweet on their own.

Speaker 1 They respond to things. They don't tweet, oh, if Four had Trent Williams,

Speaker 1 that's not a burner account, though. I don't think that was the real one.
Oh, that wasn't the real one.

Speaker 7 That might have been a fake. I think that was a fake account.

Speaker 2 A fake account.

Speaker 1 All right, so then maybe it's back.

Speaker 7 The internet sucks.

Speaker 1 So read one of them. Four got the respect of his teammates, and that's all that matters.
Nobody care what the fools on the app got to say about a man they don't know. Hmm.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Guys in the locker room got fours back all day long. It's y'all that never played the sport and don't know four like that.
This four thing is bothering me.

Speaker 7 And they're all fours.

Speaker 1 This is bothering me. Okay, maybe it is.

Speaker 7 So the one about Trenton Williams, that's definitely a fake one. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Because that would have been set up too perfectly to have like, oh, is this Deshaun's burner account requesting saying that another player player by name is better than his own teammates? Right.

Speaker 7 That's a red flag. But the ones that I'm looking at right now,

Speaker 7 well.

Speaker 1 Did he do a halftime? Did you? I'm going to give it a doom. Yeah, I'm going to give it a doom.

Speaker 7 He's responding to one that says Deshaun Watson's career is over, and he says, Coach is ruining the career of one of the best athletes of the generation. That to me seems like a little heavy-handed.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's too much. Yeah,

Speaker 1 that's too much. Because Stavansky is a great coach.

Speaker 7 Who is Leroy Bickerstaff?

Speaker 7 Regardless of whether or not this is

Speaker 7 legit, but Leroy Bickerstaff is a great name.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 we'll keep looking. All right, my hot seat is the Miami police because the cam footage came out for the Tyreek Hill arrest, and that guy was,

Speaker 1 what the fuck? Yeah. He was crazy.
Yeah,

Speaker 7 there were like three or four guys that were just ready to go right off the bat.

Speaker 1 They were trying to, I didn't even realize they were trying to arrest John U. Smith, too.
Yeah.

Speaker 7 It's crazy. And Khlace Campbell came up to de-escalate.
And Khalaze Campbell, great friend, great teammate, also very smart because he realized he knows that he's a big man. Yeah.

Speaker 7 And so he's just like walking backwards the entire time, just like showing, I'm not approaching you, but you're going to hear my voice. Yeah.

Speaker 7 And Khalaze Campbell, if you're trying to de-escalate any situation, the best way to do it is to have Khalaise Campbell. stand there and start talking.
Yeah. That will de-escalate any situation.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 we did find out also how Drew Rosenhaus got there so quickly. Tyreek was just on the phone saying, get Drew here, get Drew here, get Drew here.

Speaker 7 Yeah,

Speaker 7 there was another thing that came out earlier today, a quote from Miami police, and they said that they were booking him on speeding because they visually identified that his car was traveling approximately 60 miles an hour.

Speaker 1 Told you it's the car. They just see a sick car.
And they're like, that's going too fast.

Speaker 7 There was a video that you could see of the car going by, and you see the cop turn the motorcycle around and follow him.

Speaker 7 Tyreek's car was going faster than the other cars, but the initial reports that it was going 100 miles per hour. Yeah, it was not even close.
Not true.

Speaker 7 And when the cop says visually, we think the car was going 60 miles an hour, then that's when you know that there's about to be some cop against. Correct.

Speaker 1 They just, they were like, yeah, his car looked fast. But yeah, that was, that was crazy.

Speaker 7 And listen, Tyreek Hill, from what we know of his past, has probably done stuff that warrants him getting thrown onto the ground by police officers.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 This was not one of them. No.

Speaker 7 And if you just take Tyreek out and in his place, you put like one of those sovereign citizen guys and they make it their entire life's mission just to record themselves talking to police to outsmart him.

Speaker 7 I love those guys.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're the best.

Speaker 7 They're so ridiculous. They're so funny.

Speaker 7 What Tyreek did was he rolled his window down, gave his information over, then rolled his window back up. That's stuff that I see all day, every day from the sovereign.

Speaker 7 You can do that to a police officer. Yeah.
You don't have to talk to a police officer.

Speaker 1 It was nuts.

Speaker 1 All right, my cool throne is the people of Orlando because I am taking up a new fight.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you guys saw the news, but they're changing the Orlando airport and the Chilies is going to be gone in 2025. What? We're not going to let this happen.

Speaker 7 We're not going to let this happen. Why are they taking it out?

Speaker 1 I don't know, but we're going to fight. I'm going to fight for the people.

Speaker 7 I am going to announce a travel boycott to the Orlando airport.

Speaker 1 After 2025, if they actually take it away.

Speaker 7 If they actually take it away.

Speaker 1 They're replacing Chilis or they're taking the whole stairway to heaven? They're taking, I think, the whole stairway to heaven, the Chilis.

Speaker 1 By the way, if they ever do an auction, I would like to buy some of that stuff uh by the escalate yep chilies but they i did i did contact the orlando airport by what by what stuff exactly whatever they got like the fajita plate or something i don't know just by the escalate literally anything the stuff on the walls the orlando airport responded to me when i asked for comment they said we love chilies just as much as you all do our partners will still be around in their current location through september 2025 there's still time to score delicious fajitas and chicken crispers and ride that sweet sweet stairway to heaven that was just like, they were patting me on the top of the head.

Speaker 1 I will not accept this. We will figure out a way to get that chilies.
And if we don't, make sure someone tells me when they auction stuff off because I want to buy it.

Speaker 7 And are they remodeling because they just don't like the look of it and they want to do

Speaker 7 just a visual overhaul?

Speaker 1 It's crazy. It's crazy.
It's not.

Speaker 7 I predict that people are going to stop visiting Orlando, Florida entirely because of this. I'd agree with you.
What else is there to do in Orlando?

Speaker 1 Nothing.

Speaker 7 Nothing.

Speaker 7 There's no amusement found in Orlando.

Speaker 1 There's chilies. Yep.
And the stairway to heaven.

Speaker 7 In fact, I won't even take a connecting flight to Orlando.

Speaker 1 I agree. I won't either.
Fact.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm never taking my kids to Disney because I never went as a kid.

Speaker 7 Got to pass that down. You got to pass that forward.

Speaker 1 Got to pass that. I hold that with me.

Speaker 7 That's what you got to do.

Speaker 7 Share your trauma with your children. Disneyland, maybe.

Speaker 1 Not going to Disney World. I always wanted to go as a kid.
Never want to.

Speaker 7 Universal.

Speaker 1 I can't. One of your kids is going to start liking my wife can take him.
I'm not going. Whatever one of those movies is, and you're going.
They like all of them.

Speaker 1 They don't know that Disney World exists yet.

Speaker 1 Wait till one. That was, that was, it's, it's the kids in their class.
Did you go? No. But.
Okay, so stand with me. I'm with you, but I just feel like

Speaker 1 you're going to get rolled over. I went to Disneyland.
Yeah, so we'll go to Disneyland. I'm fine with Disneyland or whatever the Universal Studios.

Speaker 7 Yeah, Universal Studios is fun. We can do that.

Speaker 2 But if you're in Florida, Disneyland is in California.

Speaker 1 I'm going to Disneyland. I will not go to Disney World.
I never went as a kid. I wanted to go so bad.
I went, I almost died. What?

Speaker 1 I roller coaster? No, I went too nuts. I like ran.

Speaker 1 It's always too fat.

Speaker 2 No, I ran away, jumped in the pool without any floaties.

Speaker 1 I was three years old. Oh,

Speaker 2 some random, like, 10-year-old kids.

Speaker 1 That happens. Yeah.
My daughter did that. She just dropped to the youngest of four.
Yeah, and I picked her up and I was like, don't do that again. She was mad at me.

Speaker 7 You know what?

Speaker 7 The only acceptable substitution I would take in that airport for the chilies, medieval times. Yeah.
If they put a medieval times in an airport, I'm fucking in. Or wing nuts.
Or wing nuts.

Speaker 7 Yeah, you can do that too.

Speaker 1 Or pardon my cheesesteak, free. We don't pay rent.
Yeah. We can, listen, we're

Speaker 1 normal dudes. We can negotiate.
No rent. Yeah.
But medieval times.

Speaker 7 Let the people watch a battle before takeoff.

Speaker 1 I'd agree with that. Kind of tough getting the swords and stuff through.
Oh, no, it's not through. I think it's pretty pre-TSA.
I think it's post.

Speaker 7 Well, they should be allowed to go through the line with the pilots and the flight attendants. Yeah.
In your night suit.

Speaker 1 In their night suit. All right.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest. It is the best golfer in the world.
You can say that

Speaker 1 because he had an incredible season. Scotty Scheffler joining the show.

Speaker 1 Scotty, first of all, congrats. 62 mil?

Speaker 9 I did read that.

Speaker 1 Yep, yep i i think so i don't

Speaker 1 what do you mean you read that one you're i i don't really have much to say on that

Speaker 1 is it in your bank account yet you i mean that that's 62 mil that's incredible congrats yeah thank you yeah it's been uh it's been a fun year um

Speaker 9 i really i don't really think about the money very much i think that kind of becomes a big deal just with the fedex and everything but um you know at the end of the day just playing golf and um

Speaker 7 the money's just you know a gift on top of that i mean it's really all it is That rocks that you have to find out how much money you made by reading about it in an article.

Speaker 7 I think it's something that we should all aspire to one day. Like, the news tells me how much money I make.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 I know you're a humble guy, and

Speaker 1 you do feel like whenever you talk to the media, like the one thing I like is you're very honest. And it's like, these are the things that are important to me.

Speaker 1 But there has to have been at least one moment where you're like, holy shit, that's a ton of money. That's pretty damn cool.
Yeah.

Speaker 9 I mean, i remember playing my first pja tour event as a pro and i didn't like play great i finished maybe 40th place it was like two weeks after graduating college and um

Speaker 9 made like 30 or 40 grand or something like that and i remember looking at meredith when i got home and i got the text you get like a text from the tour after each tournament telling me how much money you made and i kind of looked at her i was like oh my gosh like I just got paid for that.

Speaker 9 That's insane.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 So it's, it's pretty fun. You know, I still feel, I mean, I really do.
I still feel like a kid just because I, like, I'm sure you guys can relate to that a little bit.

Speaker 9 Like, you just sit around your job and have fun all day. And like, that's what I get to do.
I get to go play golf and have fun.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. No, I mean, we definitely can relate to that because we, today is the start of football and we're like, oh, this is going to be awesome.

Speaker 1 We're going to sit on the couch and hang with the dudes for the next six months. So, yeah, we're, we're, we're, we're equally as blessed, that's for sure.

Speaker 7 Your caddy probably feels pretty happy about it, too. Your caddy is probably like looking at his phone.
How does that work? He gets it, he gets a text from the tour, too.

Speaker 9 Um, no, No, no, he just gets, he just gets like, we have a girl that helps us like pay bills basically because I'm a child and I can't keep track of all that stuff.

Speaker 9 So she quickly took over that job and she just, she texts me at the end of every week like, hey, this is how much we're paying today. I'm like, that's great.
Perfect.

Speaker 1 Send it over. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Thumbs up. That's right.
So

Speaker 7 we

Speaker 7 know where you went to high school, obviously. It's a long history of sports grades that went there.
Do you know Jake Felt personally?

Speaker 9 No, but I've heard of Jake Felt.

Speaker 9 Was he Stafford's guy?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Stafford was his guy. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Jake Felt is one.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 9 What did he do? He scored a bunch of points in the

Speaker 9 state finals up.

Speaker 1 Five touchdowns. Five touchdowns.
He was better than Clayton Kershaw and Matthew Stafford. Jake Felt is the true, true Highland Park champion.
He's our guy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 So I do, I listen to the podcast a little bit. During the season, it gets kind of tough to keep up.
But like this time of year, I'll listen to it a bunch just because football's back.

Speaker 9 And I did, I listened to part of that Stafford interview. It was pretty funny.
You guys messed with him about the Howland Park stuff. It's like, do you know Clinton Kershaw went to your high school?

Speaker 1 He's like, no, I've never heard of that.

Speaker 1 Wait, wait. So, all right.

Speaker 1 Thank you that you listened to the show at all.

Speaker 1 How dumb are we when we talk about golf? Like, we're, we're really dumb, right?

Speaker 9 I mean, I've heard a little bit of the golf stuff. Like, I know that, you know, Hank's a big fan of the live, the live golf and all that.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I mean, you're not great about golf.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 So maybe this is a good opportunity for you to educate us. What do we get wrong about golf? What's the hardest part about being a great golfer and sustaining that?

Speaker 9 I don't know either. I'm not a podcaster.
Yeah.

Speaker 7 But we also root for the course.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we root for the course a lot.

Speaker 9 As in, like, you want us to shoot over par?

Speaker 7 Yeah, yeah, we like that, especially in the U.S.

Speaker 7 Open when they grow the fescue out and it just becomes just a jungle of weeds and it's impossible golf to play and I'm sure it's very frustrating but for us at home we root for the course to just swallow up golf balls have guys cuss it I did hear you Scotty would you like to apologize to America for for saying the F word on the golf course last week yeah I'd like to uh formally apologize to all of America okay thank you my four-year-old accepted formal apology yeah my four-year-old son Chris saw that and uh that's that's the only word that he says now he's gonna get kicked out of school yeah when he eventually goes to school yeah

Speaker 1 So yeah,

Speaker 1 we root for the course.

Speaker 1 We don't really follow the rules. Oh, here's one.

Speaker 1 You follow the rules. You're a consummate pro.

Speaker 1 Do you think it's uncouth to just fill out whatever score you want at the end of a round? Like, for instance, I shot a 72 at Shinnecock.

Speaker 9 I mean, it's really up to you. I think that's a great part about golf.
You know, you sign your own scorecard. Yes.

Speaker 9 If you're going to rest easy at night, then, hey, man, more power to you.

Speaker 1 Oh, I sleep like a baby. Like a baby.
Yeah. All right.
Great.

Speaker 7 If you can live with yourself being a liar, then go ahead.

Speaker 1 I have no problem living with myself just filling out fake scorecards. Okay.
That's great. So, Scotty Scheffler, basically, you basically just signed my scorecard at Chinocock.
Not really, but yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
All right. Perfect.

Speaker 1 I'll take it.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 7 that's great. I love that.

Speaker 7 This might be a tough question for you, but have you personally thanked Jeff Darlington for being there during your arrest?

Speaker 9 I actually did. I spoke to him at the end of that week because he actually came up to me and apologized.
He's like, hey, man, like, I'm really sorry.

Speaker 9 And he was, I mean, awesome about the whole thing because he was worried that

Speaker 9 because he obviously was on TV a bunch after that. So he was worried that I thought that he was doing it to like

Speaker 9 help himself.

Speaker 9 Like he came up and apologized like listen man, I'm just so sorry. Like they got it.
I'm you know, it's my job. I got to do all the TV stuff.
I'm like, listen, man, I was glad that somebody saw that.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 1 What happened?

Speaker 9 And that was just there because he helped. Like, he

Speaker 9 was getting yelled at by the police and like coming up and being like, no, no, no, like, this, this is not.

Speaker 9 He's like, no, no, no. And they're like, get the heck out of here.
And eventually he came up to the car and was like, who should I call? And I was like, dude, just call Teddy.

Speaker 9 That's the first name I could think of. And

Speaker 9 so he got hold of Teddy, got hold of Blake, and then all this stuff started happening

Speaker 9 from there. And

Speaker 9 fortunately, it's all over now.

Speaker 7 It was great that he was there to chronicle it because if there was nobody there at the time, then the report is just Scotty Scheffler arrested. Then an hour later, we see what the charge would be.

Speaker 7 And then everybody's like, what the hell is going on? But since Darlington was there and he had eyes on it, it almost seemed like from the very start, the narrative was free Scotty,

Speaker 7 which was great for you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well.

Speaker 9 I mean,

Speaker 9 the part that still

Speaker 9 just really blows my mind is like, yeah, I got arrested, which is one thing, but the reason I got arrested was the police officer charged me with second-degree assault.

Speaker 1 Like, that's a big problem. Well, his pants.

Speaker 7 His pants were damaged beyond repair.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
But I mean,

Speaker 9 it's,

Speaker 9 I mean, it's like at this point, it's for the most part, I'm over it. Like talking about it a lot throughout the year.
Like, it really was very traumatic.

Speaker 9 But like at this point, I feel like I'm getting over it in a sense to where like when people, like when my friends would ask me about it, like I would literally like start start shaking again just because it was such like a wild thing that happened.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Just but now I feel like I'm kind of on the other end of it. Like things are starting to calm down and it's like, yeah, I went to jail.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a good bit. Yeah.
It basically is like

Speaker 1 as much as it sucked in the moment. I had to really suck, especially you're playing a major.
Now, hopefully you have enough time where it's like.

Speaker 1 It kind of worked out perfect that not only did you get a little street cred with your mug shot,

Speaker 1 but every, every, basically every moment after it happened, you got more and more vindicated that you did nothing wrong so it was just like oh it was even more like scotty did nothing wrong and now you can look back and be like look that's a pretty cool t-shirt free scotty

Speaker 9 yeah yeah the yeah free scotty yeah yeah my friends my friends have had quite the field day with that uh

Speaker 9 that experience, but yeah, glad it's kind of in the rearview mirror now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so so this season was incredible for you. At what point in the season were you like, this is different? I'm, I'm, did you know that you were like, I, I'm playing the best golf of my life?

Speaker 1 Like, I can feel this and everything's just working?

Speaker 9 I don't really know. I don't like, I'm not very intuitive with that kind of stuff.
I kind of just like really do live day by day.

Speaker 9 Like, I can barely remember what I did yesterday, and I don't like make a ton of plans for tomorrow. I kind of just try to live in the present as much as possible.

Speaker 9 And so in terms of golf, like you just go from one thing to the next. And like sometimes like Meredith and I,

Speaker 9 like we got home this week, the last couple years when we get home from the season, you know, I haven't been able to win east like the the two years before where I had the lead and then I lost it and so you come home and like just pretty sad and

Speaker 9 You know coming home this time like we just kind of sat there and we're like how amazing is this like just won the last tournament of the year like we can just Just chill and it's been great because I'm really really tired.

Speaker 1 Yeah

Speaker 9 Been a long year, but yeah, just Sometimes I feel like I'm living in the simulation because like I really do feel like a kid still like I still feel sometimes like I'm in high school because I just play golf and

Speaker 9 play golf for a living that's pretty much what i do i go practice play golf come home hang out with my family and then go back out on the road like it's not nothing crazy yeah how awesome is it that your offseason starts football's season like that's the best that's the best offseason ever

Speaker 9 yeah it's the best um

Speaker 9 yeah it's the best just sitting like

Speaker 9 Like Sundays, Sundays are such great days. Like, I love the NFL.
And like, we, we got into a good routine last year of like waking up. I'd watch sports advisors.

Speaker 9 And then, uh, yes, we'd go to church, come home, play some bets, and then just sit around and watch football. It's awesome.

Speaker 1 Wait, hold on, hold on. Time out.
Timeout. You would watch Stu Feiner

Speaker 1 and then go to church. Yep.
Well, that's the correct order to do it. That's true.
Yeah. That is incredible.

Speaker 9 You know what's really funny is I told Meredith, we're driving home from our lancash yesterday, and Meredith is my wife, just so everybody knows.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 9 we were driving home yesterday. I was like, yeah, I got the podcast with the Barcelona guys tomorrow morning, but that's pretty much all I got tomorrow.

Speaker 9 And she's like, okay, you did it with like, with like the guy. And I was like, who are you talking about? She's like, the guy, the favorite number guy.
And I was like, Stu Feiner.

Speaker 1 That's incredible. Oh, that makes me so happy that like, just see, I mean,

Speaker 1 you're the best because you're just watching Stu Feiner. Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 7 But yeah, if you hear Stu say 15, 15, 30 enough, then, yeah, you have to run to church.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Find a preacher to talk to immediately after watching Advisors.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's pretty cool.

Speaker 9 She's like, she was wondering. She's like, well, can I come say hello? I was like, well, Stu's not going to be on this show.
And she's like, okay, never mind that.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Listen,

Speaker 1 you have a free invite to come to our office and watch a taping of advisors. That would be the funniest thing ever.

Speaker 1 You can also see that we cut out a lot of the stuff that Stu says.

Speaker 1 He doesn't even know we cut it out.

Speaker 1 He'll be like, great show and we're like Stu we can't use half the things you said we might have to start sending you a director's cut

Speaker 1 the bleep button yeah yeah yeah so all right so how how are you feeling about the cowboys this year um

Speaker 9 typically i go into every year with a ton of hope and then just get crushed this year for some reason my hope's not as high i've kind of like moved the hope over to the longhorns um

Speaker 9 But the first game's going to start and I'm like, they're going to win every game this year. It's going to be awesome.

Speaker 9 Like we're, I'm that Cowboys fan where it's like, we're going to win the Super Bowl. We're going to go to the playoffs, do all the stuff.
And then just never even comes close to happening.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Last year was tough in the playoffs. Were you at that game?

Speaker 9 No, we were

Speaker 9 playing a tournament in California that week. And I remember we, it was a Sunday.
We were out. It was before the tournament started.
We were out playing golf.

Speaker 9 Just some of my buddies like Sam Burns, couple other guys. And Sam and I were like, all right, we need to get home and get to the game.
And we were having a chipping contest.

Speaker 9 And like the game had started, but we were, you know gambling so we had to finish the finish the match and then like by the time we finished the match like we're just watching the score i'm like i'm not going home to watch this it's already like getting blown out and like my phone has now been like tossed to the other side of the green and it's like it's over and we went home and watched the second half but i mean it was it was tough yeah you think dak's the guy yeah i mean i think the team's good enough they just they just don't like seem to perform when it matters the most and sometimes that's you know bad luck could be a mental thing i mean like the the team last year was so good.

Speaker 9 And then just the first game, like, I don't know how fluky of a sport football is, but if it's anything like golf, like stuff can just happen really fast and just gets away from you at the wrong time.

Speaker 9 And

Speaker 1 it's tough, man. It's tough.
Yeah. We, well, we did our preseason awards on Wednesday's show and Dak won an award.
So you should be, you should be excited about that.

Speaker 9 What was the award?

Speaker 1 It was least improved player of the year.

Speaker 1 We don't, I mean, we just think he's going to be the same. He's not going to improve.
He's not bad. He's going to be good.

Speaker 7 He's going to be Dak Prescott, but he's not going to get any better.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 9 I mean, to be fair, he had a great regular season last year. Like, he played awesome for most of the year.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Right?

Speaker 1 He's going to have the same regular season. He's going to be very good this year.
He's just not going to improve.

Speaker 1 I hope he can improve.

Speaker 7 We might have to submit you for least improved golfer for next year because you're so good right now.

Speaker 1 That would be an honor if you didn't improve. You just stayed the same.
You were number one. I guess you probably do.
You too. You do want to improve.

Speaker 7 You want to improve. Yeah.
So actually, that's a serious question, though.

Speaker 7 If you're at the top of your game right now and you're playing really good golf, what's that line like between going out and trying to practice something and find an area to improve and also not screwing up what you have right now?

Speaker 9 Yeah, I think that's that's where guys can sometimes run into trouble when they

Speaker 9 in golf, you always feel like you can get better because it's so hard. And that's one of the things I find funny about people always like, if you root for the golf

Speaker 9 I don't understand why golf is the sport where, like, we want to watch those guys suffer, but every other sport is like

Speaker 9 we want to see the best, we want to see football players at their best.

Speaker 9 Like, we want to watch guys duck the basketball, make long threes, and golf, we're like, No, no, we want to watch these guys suffer.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it's because we, it's because we stink, and so we watch you on TV and we're like, we want you to experience just like a taste of what I experience every single shot when I play,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 9 yeah. Um, well, I shanked one last week, so there you go, PFT.
I saw that.

Speaker 7 That was nice. Yeah.
I was like, one of us, one of us. But yeah,

Speaker 7 do you have stuff that you go out there and you're like, I need to improve on this, but I also have to make sure that I'm not screwing up my normal swing?

Speaker 9 Yeah, I would say most of the stuff I do on my full swing is mostly maintenance. So in terms of just like making sure my setup's good, making sure I'm taking the club back properly.

Speaker 9 And when I practice at home and I'm hitting balls, I'm with my coach most of the time.

Speaker 9 And so full swing is mostly just maintenance. As far as a short game goes, like you can always get better.
Like trying to improve my bunker game this year. My putting, I think, can still improve.

Speaker 9 Every offseason, I kind of have one point of emphasis because you always got to be working on everything.

Speaker 9 And some years it's been my diet. Last year is my putting.

Speaker 9 One year it was, you know, doing a lot of stuff in the gym.

Speaker 9 And I think as I'm thinking more and more about this offseason, I think I'm going to focus more on like kind of my endurance and eating better.

Speaker 9 Like I'm going to go back to kind of the diet and workout stuff this offseason to be my like point of emphasis.

Speaker 9 Just so as the year goes on, you know, I can really kind of maintain the same level of of performance probably just feeling better at the end of every round yeah at the end of a weekend you don't

Speaker 7 have more energy at the end of it yeah and a part of your your putting improvement was just switching putters which is genius i do that like six times a year and it never seems to work out for me but was so the the story goes that rory said that you should look at a different putter and then next thing you know you're you're using a different putter and now rory just shot himself in the foot because now scotty can putt i don't know if that's something that you actually heard from rory or if that's something that you had planned for a while.

Speaker 9 No, it's something that I thought about, but I mean, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story, right?

Speaker 7 We never do. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Yeah, never do.

Speaker 9 Yeah, no, it was something that my putting coach and I had thought about.

Speaker 9 And then that week, at the beginning of the year, I had improved a little bit, but I still wasn't where I felt like I could be. I felt like we could keep getting better.
And

Speaker 9 That was something that it was nice for me to kind of get out of my own head, look at something different.

Speaker 9 Like I used to line up the ball where I wanted to hit it when I was putting and it would kind of get in my head a little bit.

Speaker 9 And so now I'm just trying to get more athletic where I'm just getting over it, trying to see the break and just hit the putt and kind of let the results be the results.

Speaker 9 And with the spider putter specifically, I don't use the line on the ball. I just put the ball down and just try and be as athletic as possible.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Do you have a, do you have a favorite round from this year? I mean, you have so many of the masters.
You were incredible. The gold medal, I mean, that one, I feel like we just pass over that.

Speaker 1 What you did in that final round to win the gold and come back was you're just on fire.

Speaker 1 But do you have one that if you look back, you're like, yeah, that was that was my favorite round I played in competitive golf this year?

Speaker 9 I think the Olympics is probably a pretty tough one to beat, just the way it happened there late in the round and with it being the Olympics. And

Speaker 9 that was pretty, pretty special day.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, what did you say?

Speaker 1 You just started ripping birdies like non-stop down the stretch.

Speaker 9 Yeah, like we've, we made the turn and

Speaker 9 I had birdie the first three holes, did made par on the next made pars on the next six holes and kind of missed some birdie putts.

Speaker 9 Like I missed some pretty makeable opportunities early in that round on the front nine. And

Speaker 9 when we made the turn, I just, you know, Teddy kind of kept me in a good headspace. And then, you know, I just started making birdies.
But there was a time that we almost fell out of the tournament.

Speaker 9 I had switched my attitude to be like, all right, let's just try to see if we can get a medal. And all of a sudden, I started making birdies and I saw those guys made some mistakes.

Speaker 9 And then I remember looking at the scoreboard when I was on 17 and i saw that tommy hadn't birdie 14 which was a reachable part five probably the easiest fall in the back nine and i think ramen made double and so all of a sudden i thought i was going to be one back and have that putt to tie for the lead and then all of a sudden i was like oh my gosh this putt is to take the lead and ram has now fallen even further back and so now there's only one guy really that has a great chance of catching me and it was kind of just one of those things where everything fell into place and i had a great back nine and was able to win yeah thank you i mean you won it for us for america yeah yeah we needed that we actually i think

Speaker 1 we beat China by one gold medal. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 9 I think we tied China.

Speaker 7 I think we tied them.

Speaker 7 But we won because we had more. Or other gold.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so we would have lost outright if you had not done that. So you are American Captain America.
And we say that to every single person we've interviewed that won a gold medal. But it's a big deal.

Speaker 1 You're the gold medal that did it.

Speaker 9 Well, to be fair, I mean, it's true.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you are.

Speaker 9 It's all, you know, everybody that got a gold medal without each one of us getting the gold, you know, would be a different story.

Speaker 7 yeah yeah so what's your what's your favorite trophy or uh or i guess you can include the green jacket in this some people would put that on the mount rush more of green things if you win a green jacket but if you were to compare a gold medal and a green jacket what's better

Speaker 9 i don't know that's tough the uh

Speaker 9 you know they're just different the green jacket is something that i always grew up dreaming about and thinking about but when you get the green jacket you know there's a lot of rules you can't really do a ton of stuff with it because you're out like i'm the only person that has the green jacket outside the gates of Augusta National.

Speaker 9 And so when you're out with the green jacket, you're representing the club and it's a tremendous honor. Whereas the gold medal, it's a great honor, but there's no real rules.

Speaker 9 It's just a gold medal. You can kind of do whatever you want with it.
And so like the amount of people that have seen the gold medal, taking pictures with the gold medal, that part's been really fun.

Speaker 9 Whereas the jacket, you know, it's more of an honor in representing the club.

Speaker 9 And so there's not a whole lot that I do with it other than just kind of chills in the closet and I'll put it put it on every now and then.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, you had the story that you told to the media that you just like you put on, was it the green jacket and then held a couple trophies? And you're like, Look at me now to your wife.

Speaker 1 Um, I mean, you got to add the gold medal to that. What was going through your head? You're like, you know what? I'm going to flex once in a while because you are too humble.

Speaker 1 I would, that would be my only tip to you.

Speaker 1 Every now and then, you should just flex on people and just show up randomly with a green jacket or you know, a gold medal and be like, I'm Scotty Scheffler, and you're not.

Speaker 9 Um,

Speaker 9 yeah, I remember that day. I don't know what kind of mood I was in, but I I put on, because like some of the tournaments I was wearing earlier in the year, they all give you like a jacket.

Speaker 9 Like there was a, I had a cardigan from Bay Hill.

Speaker 9 I had like a plaid jacket and I had a green jacket.

Speaker 9 And I just like decided to put them all on one morning because Meredith would think it was funny and just grab a couple trophies, walk to the kitchen.

Speaker 1 I was like, what's up?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You deserve that.

Speaker 7 Down to the coffee shop. Yeah.
Just wearing the green jacket. Oh, I forgot this old thing.
Yeah. Didn't even know I had it on.

Speaker 9 Yeah. Oh, yes.
Totally forgot I was wearing it.

Speaker 7 One of the best things that you did, I thought, was your champions dinner that you set up for people at the Masters. Your menu was impeccable.
I think it's the best that I've seen.

Speaker 7 And some people said that it was like, oh, this is perfectly Scotty Scheffler. But they said that in a way, like, oh, there's nothing really crazy on here.

Speaker 7 But your menu was cheeseburger sliders, firecracker shrimp, tortilla soup, Texas ribeye steak or black and redfish, and then the warm chocolate chip skillet cookie.

Speaker 7 That is a perfect, perfect champions dinner. So congratulations on that.
Did anybody get the redfish or was everybody eating the steak?

Speaker 9 No, some people definitely got the fish. Like that's part of one of the things you have to do on the menu is you have to have a meat and a fish.
And so at the time, I didn't even really eat redfish.

Speaker 9 It was just like, hey, this is from Texas. Like let's just put that on the menu.
If I did the same menu this year, I'd probably eat the fish.

Speaker 9 Like I've gotten, as I've improved my diet, I've, you know, kind of added some of that stuff in.

Speaker 9 The only only really funny thing that happened at the champions dinner was there was tortilla soup was on the menu too

Speaker 9 and

Speaker 1 like

Speaker 9 at the champions dinner i sit at the head of the table when you're when you're the defending champion you sit at the head of the table with uh ben crenshaw and then chairman ridley and uh

Speaker 9 everybody kind of sits in their own little areas like you have groups of guys where they sit year in year out and so most of the older guys are on my left side and they bring out the soup everybody sits down and they start eating it and it was unbelievably spicy and like all the old guys on the left side of the table just started coughing and like looking over.

Speaker 1 You see him sweating.

Speaker 9 They're all looking at me like, dude, what are you doing? I'm like, I didn't know it was going to be this spicy. I'm sorry, guys.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. I like that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
But I mean, maybe, maybe this time.

Speaker 7 Have you given any thoughts to what it's going to be this year? Because maybe you could put some really spicy in there. Maybe we do wing nuts.

Speaker 1 We get you. We get Ed and Alicia from Buffalo to come down and make you guys wait.

Speaker 7 Some Buffalo wings, some chicken wings.

Speaker 1 Them and Ed and Alicia and Augusta would be all time. We should maybe think about it.

Speaker 7 It'd be perfect. Yeah.
But I mean, if you give give something that makes everybody else uncomfortable, that's a leg up for you in the actual tournament, right?

Speaker 9 Yeah. Unfortunately, it only really took out the guys that have been retired for.

Speaker 1 Everyone else was fine with it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So maybe this is a dumb question or you don't have a good answer to it, but I'm always curious. You, you, you know, this season has been incredible.
You've had an insane stretch the last few years.

Speaker 1 Was there ever a moment in your journey with golf where you were like, I might not make it? Like, I'm, because I know we know how hard it is. We know the struggles everyone goes through.

Speaker 1 Was there ever one of those real moments where you had to sit down and be like, is this actually going to be my future? Am I going to make the tour?

Speaker 1 Am I going to be able to be a player that stays on it for a long period of time? Did that ever happen?

Speaker 9 Yeah, all the time. I feel like.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I went through

Speaker 9 a couple of years in college where I battled some injuries.

Speaker 9 Like I battled a bad back and it affected my swing for years where I was a really good junior player and I had a great freshman year in college and my sophomore and junior year I mean I could not keep the ball in the point I was hitting all over the map and

Speaker 9 I mean it was really hard you know I spent two years there not playing anywhere near the best of my abilities and

Speaker 9 yeah like it could that stuff runs to your head all the time like can I do this like is this really gonna happen um and then I remember when I turned pro

Speaker 9 I uh I turned pro in 2018 and I started by playing Monday qualifiers. Like, y'all know what the Monday qualifiers are?

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 So, I was playing on the Corn Ferry tour, there's more spots. So, I was like, I'm just going to go try and play Corn Ferry Tour Mondays.

Speaker 9 And I would show up to the Monday qualifier, shoot six, seven, eight under, not make it. Go to the next week, fly to like, I remember, I flew to St.

Speaker 9 Louis, I flew to Buffalo, I'm flying all over the country to these random places, playing Monday qualifiers, playing really well, and not getting in. I'm kind of sitting there to myself, like

Speaker 9 just failing time and time again, and not and playing, you know, good enough to where I feel like I should be succeeding.

Speaker 9 And then you kind of get home, I look at Meredith, I'm like you know this is hard this is not what i signed up for you know this is um it's like you i think you know it's going to be a grind but at the same time i think in the back of your head you just expect things to go the way that you think they should go like you you just think that you're just going to show up and play great and everything's going to be awesome but there's a lot of times in golf where it's just it's really hard i remember um missing my rookie year on tour i had a pretty solid fall and then the spring started and i was like missing cuts left and right and i remember we played a tournament, Flori Pines, and I'd shot like a seven right under the first round on the easier course.

Speaker 9 And we'd go over to play the south course, which is much harder. And I shot, I may have shot 80.
And I bogied like the last five holes or something like that to miss the cut by one.

Speaker 9 I remember coming off the course and calling Meredith to come pick me up. And she's like, hey, how did today go? I'm like, not great.
I missed the cut.

Speaker 9 And she had no idea because I was so far inside the cut line. All of a sudden, I missed another cut.
And I'm thinking there to myself, I'm like, am I ever going to make another cut again?

Speaker 9 I mean, I just bogied the last five holes to miss the cut by one. Like, what, what am I doing out here? And so golf can be challenging like that.
I mean, as

Speaker 9 things are going great, they can flip and go bad just as quickly. And so,

Speaker 9 you know, I'm trying to get better at soaking in the good times.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
I mean, golf, I don't know how you guys do it week in and week out because it is the most frustrating game.

Speaker 1 And to have your livelihood be like, I have to mentally be there every shot. And like you said, like moments where you're shooting well and then all of a sudden you don't make the cut.

Speaker 1 The only thing I would say is you guys need to just do a better job of when someone likes, you know, clicks a picture or something and then you're like, oh man, I can't take my shot.

Speaker 1 That's a little soft. But everything else about golfers is tough as hell.

Speaker 1 You'd agree.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 A little soft. Yeah, I do agree.

Speaker 9 We actually, yeah, we experienced that this year. So most of the tournaments in the States, that almost never happens.
When we went to the Olympics, I remember getting to the second hole and

Speaker 9 it's par three, down the hill, over water. It's like, I think it was a five-iron the first day.
And like a lot of the people at that tournament hadn't been to a golf tournament before.

Speaker 9 And I think there may be a law in France where they like have to have the sound on when they're taking a picture.

Speaker 9 And so like you take the club back and all of a sudden like a hundred cameras go off and we're like trying to silence them. And then like there's a language barrier.
We can't get them to stop.

Speaker 9 And so basically we just played four days of the tournament with people just like. making camera noises basically the whole tournament.

Speaker 7 Yeah, that's that's something that the rider cup is usually really good at.

Speaker 9 Yeah, Yeah, and I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, man, this is really bugging me. Like, I better, better figure this out.
Yeah. It is solid.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right.
So, yeah, we should, we should, we get more clicks. We need to be like France.
I actually like that law that you have to have the sound on so people can't take pictures.

Speaker 9 But it is a law in certain countries where you can't just be out like taking pictures of people.

Speaker 9 So like maybe the way the phone is programmed to where like you, even when you silence it, it doesn't silence the camera sound. Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 1 It's not a bad. Yeah,

Speaker 7 you should stand on business when you take a picture of somebody in public.

Speaker 1 You should let everyone know. Yeah, I did it.

Speaker 7 What are you going to do about it? Yeah.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 7 the Ryder Cup's really good about that, where you've got like, I don't know, 10,000 people from England just chanting and singing songs.

Speaker 7 And then the second you step up to the ball, it's just pure silence. They just, they, they know what to do there.
That's got to be a fun environment to play in.

Speaker 9 The Ryder Cup is, I would say, probably the most fun tournament to be a part of.

Speaker 9 You know, I remember the one we played over here at Whistling Straits was just nuts.

Speaker 9 You know, we don't have as fond of memories Rome, but still hanging out with the guys and making some putts and stuff like that is fun.

Speaker 9 But the memories aren't as great in Rome as they were here in the States.

Speaker 7 Right. Yeah.
Next time up, it's going to be fun, though.

Speaker 9 Yeah, it's going to be nuts.

Speaker 1 It's going to be fun.

Speaker 9 Keegan is captained too.

Speaker 9 It's going to be

Speaker 9 pretty fun vibe.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Have you considered? I know some football coaches actually put this rule in place where they tell their players

Speaker 7 not to be intimate with their wives between the months of of January and like April, so they don't have a baby during the season. Have you

Speaker 7 considered planning out your future children based on when the masters is going to be?

Speaker 9 Not quite.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 9 Yeah, not quite.

Speaker 9 It's pretty difficult to have babies. So whenever

Speaker 9 the next one decides to show up, I think we'll be pretty grateful.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you feel like you're a better golfer now that you're a father? Because when I started having kids, I was like, I'm a better podcaster. I'm podcasting for them.

Speaker 1 I gotta, I gotta make sure I elevate my game for them. That's just me, though.
Do you feel that?

Speaker 9 You know, I think part of it has helped me mentally because like, like you said, golf can be tough. And I think, you know, sometimes I'm, you know, we can all be our own harshest critic.

Speaker 9 And so when it comes to like how I'm performing on the golf course, sometimes, you know, when I get off the course and after a tough day, I'll kind of look at myself and be like, well, what, you know, what would I, if this was Bennett, you know, what would I tell him after the day?

Speaker 9 And so part of that has been really helpful. And then, you know, when you get home, I mean, it's one thing for your parents and Meredith and everybody to say that they don't care what you shoot.

Speaker 9 But at the end of the day, you know, it means a lot to me. But when you get home and you see Bennett and he just like sees you walk through the door and he's like, hey, man, what's up?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 You truly do just kind of forget about everything else. Like it's, it's pretty amazing.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm, I,

Speaker 1 when my kids come running to me and, and, to give me a hug, I, I, I still remember like all the money I just lost gambling. But yeah, kind of sick.

Speaker 1 I definitely don't let it. I bring that home.

Speaker 7 Perspective is, I feel like a really good thing for golfers because you have, you know, you can be your own worst enemy. You can get in your own head.

Speaker 7 But if you have like a well-rounded perspective in your personal life, then you are less likely to just psych yourself out and you're able to go out there and play well.

Speaker 9 Yeah. I mean, golf's tough in a sense, too.
Like, I had a great year this year, and I still

Speaker 9 lost a lot more than I won. Like, you like golf is, you know, you, you kind of live a little bit of a life of disappointment.
Like you don't, you don't really win that often.

Speaker 9 It's not like football where you're winning most of your games or, you know, a lot of the team sports where golf, like if you're struggling, you're just going to play better.

Speaker 9 Nobody can pick you up out there. Like you're just going to have to live through it.
And then even when you're playing great, you still don't win that often.

Speaker 9 So there's still a lot of disappointment that goes with it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I will say the, the, the, what you were saying about your son and what I have with my kids is like the bad days when you come home and like it kind of gives you that escape where you're like, oh, this is, I just throw myself into this and it's, I don't even think about the bad day.

Speaker 1 I don't think about the golf. I don't think about, you know, whatever's going on.
It's like, this kid is just fun to be in his world.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Like you just, you just want your kids to be happy. And like, I mean, Bennett, I mean, he's so young right now.
Like he learned how to smile in the last like month and a half.

Speaker 9 But like getting home and, you know, when he like finally finds where you are in the room and he's like, oh, there you are. And he just lets this big smile.

Speaker 1 It's like, it's just awesome. Like,

Speaker 9 that was one thing I did not understand going into fatherhood, like how, how great something little feels like that. I mean, it's, it's, it's awesome.
Really? It's just.

Speaker 1 By the way, we had your back when it was the whole like Scotty will leave the masters thing. You got done dirty by the media.

Speaker 1 They just took a quote that you would, you would hypothetically leave if your wife went into labor and they were like, oh, she's going to go in labor like any minute now. You never said that.
Yeah.

Speaker 9 No, and she wasn't going to. She was due at the end of that month.

Speaker 9 We were probably more worried about her going going too late and getting into the, like, Bennett was going to come, you know, during the PGA and I was either going to have to like leave or not go to the PGA, something like that.

Speaker 9 Whereas he was due, I think, two weeks after the master. So there's always a chance, but like Meredith hadn't been feeling any signs or anything like that.

Speaker 9 And yeah, it's like, you always got to create a story, right? I mean,

Speaker 1 yeah. Did you ask me

Speaker 9 if she left there, but there wasn't, there wasn't like a great chance that she

Speaker 9 was going to go into labor. I'm not even really sure how airtight of a plane we had if she did go into labor.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 We fell for the initial headline because we're big time like read a headline. We don't really like to read like a lot of words, guys.

Speaker 1 But then when we dug into it, we're like, no, Scotty did nothing wrong. This is the media just trying to make a story out of this.

Speaker 1 Like they, they're pretending that he's about, he basically is like, oh, I'm leaving the second it happens, but you never said it was about to happen.

Speaker 9 Yeah. I, I mean, I think I'm sure I alluded to he was due at the end of the month.
And I think somebody asked me, like, would you leave if your wife's going into labor? I'm like, yes, obviously.

Speaker 1 It's our first child.

Speaker 9 Of course, I'm going to leave.

Speaker 9 What are we talking about? Yeah, of course I'm going to leave. Like that's, that's a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
And yeah, but at no point was anybody like, well, when she really do.

Speaker 9 I'm just kind of like sitting there like, nobody ever asked. I try to keep my life off the course as private as possible.
Like I, I don't love being, you know, I feel like we live two separate lives.

Speaker 9 Like we have our life on the road where we travel and play off and then we come home. Like we have our friends from high school and college and they've been our friends for forever.

Speaker 9 And they, you know, it's the same way. They, they really don't care whether or not I won this week or not.

Speaker 9 like we're gonna be doing the exact same thing this weekend it's not gonna change what we do yes

Speaker 7 that's a very smart way to live life did you get did you get dad's strength immediately

Speaker 9 sadly not no

Speaker 9 additional no additional yardage on your drive no additional yardage i would say the first you know couple months of bent being alive like

Speaker 9 when they're born like you're so nervous holding them that you're gonna like somehow break your child so that you like tense up and hold them and it was actually really bad for my back the first you know couple months now that i've relaxed a little bit it's it's a little bit easier to hold it but i'm it was like clockwork we'd get home from a tournament and you know two days in i

Speaker 9 you know rib would pop out or something like that like

Speaker 1 yeah

Speaker 1 holding them bouncing on like just soft little golf injuries yeah yeah yeah dad's strength also is just your kids thinking you're strong that's really like my my middle child is three and she said that i could lift a school bus and then my oldest was like no he couldn't his arms would rip off so i was like all right this is a fun discussion but at least I have one kid who thinks I'm strong.

Speaker 1 So, that's the majority of dad's strength. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, all right. Well, Scotty, this has been awesome.
I, I'm still just laughing about the fact that you, uh,

Speaker 1 like, Stu Finer is in your life. Like, Stu Finer is part of your life.
It's, it's one of the funniest things ever.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's yeah.

Speaker 9 When Meredith said that yesterday, I was kind of like,

Speaker 9 There's definitely a weird feeling because I've, you know, Stu's a bit of a loose cannon. And I was kind of like, my sweet wife, even I, have corrupted her down a little bit.

Speaker 1 It's so good. It's so good, but I do have one last question.

Speaker 12 Hey, this is Rhea from Chicks in the Office, and this season, we're heading home for the holidays with Abercrombie and Fitch. We all know our calendars are about to get chaotic.

Speaker 12 For non-stop plans, Abercrombie has the pieces to curate your perfect seasonal wardrobe, sweaters and denim for casual plans, party dresses for nights out, and comfy matching sets for everything in between.

Speaker 12 Keep the chaos cute this season in Abercrombie. Shop their new holiday outfits in the app, online, or in stores.

Speaker 1 It's actually not a question. I've been tasked.
I have to say thank you on behalf of our boss, Dave,

Speaker 1 who I don't know if you saw, but he basically was neck and neck with you in

Speaker 1 yearly earnings off of Scotty Scheffler. It was like Scotty Scheffler's making money for Scotty Scheffler.
Scotty Scheffler's making money for Dave Portnoy all year.

Speaker 1 So he wanted to thank you and said he appreciates all your hard work for him.

Speaker 9 Of course. Yeah, glad I could help.

Speaker 9 I'm sure if I start losing it money, it'll go in the opposite direction just as fast. But you know, that's part of the life.
You know, I'm glad I could help him this year.

Speaker 9 You know, gambling is tough, so glad I could help him out a little bit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you were probably the top earner at Barstool Sports this year for Dave. Like when he looks at the big, like, you know, big board, he's like, who brought in the most revenue?

Speaker 1 It's like Scotty Scheffler's on that list.

Speaker 7 He probably made more than your caddy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he did. Yeah.
Just like you. Yeah, I think he did, which is crazy.

Speaker 1 He just wrote it. He's a Scotty guy through and through.
Love it. Yeah.
Love it. Appreciate it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, Scotty, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 Anytime you're in town, yeah, we'd love to listen. Open invite if you ever want to watch the live Barcelona Sports Advisors.
We have a simulator here. We get on that.
You could teach us some things.

Speaker 1 So we appreciate it, man. This was so much fun.
And congrats again. Incredible year.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. He is head coach of the Northern Illinois Huskies off their big win in South Bend on Saturday, Coach Thomas Hammack.
Coach, first of all, congratulations.

Speaker 1 Incredible game. Incredible story.

Speaker 1 How are you feeling right now? I want to say great job with your schedule having a bye week after this, but how are the vibes?

Speaker 1 Are you guys still kind of processing everything that happened on Saturday?

Speaker 6 No, still a lot of positive vibes. I'm certainly excited.
We got a bye week.

Speaker 6 We get a chance to lock them back in on the practice field. But the kids are excited.
There's a lot of positive momentum for our program. And I'm anxious to see how we can use this to catapult us into

Speaker 6 a higher level.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it was awesome seeing you guys on Saturday.

Speaker 7 It was one of those stories where I feel like most of the country, if not all the country, besides Notre Dame fans, were rooting for you guys super, super hard.

Speaker 7 And it was cool to see after the game, you got kind of emotional in the interview on the sidelines, which is completely understandable. I got emotional watching you get emotional.

Speaker 7 Was that something that just hit you like a wave after the whistle was over?

Speaker 7 Or did it take until, you know, you go about your business, shake hands, and then you start talking on the sidelines to a reporter, and then it just it comes over you all at once when did that when did that strong strong emotional pull take over well it was such a competitive game back and forth that you never really had a moment to you know relax and understand what was happening and then when we blocked that kick

Speaker 6 the emotion was shock uh

Speaker 6 elation um i couldn't believe it our kids believed they they stayed in the fight or they continued to work i told them all week we didn't need luck and that wasn't a lucky win.

Speaker 6 I thought that was a win where we showed

Speaker 6 a level of physicality that we were able to match that team.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So I would make a terrible coach because I'd freak out at the first second of something bad going on.

Speaker 1 I know you've said afterwards that you gave the message to them that they can win this game and you believed it. But trust Tree,

Speaker 1 the game starts. Notre Dame goes right down the field, scores seven points.
You get the kickoff, kind of a messed up kickoff. You started your own two.

Speaker 1 Tell me, was there a little part of you being like, ah, maybe we can't do this?

Speaker 6 You know, I think that's natural, right? Uh, we played Michigan in 2021 and got the brakes beat off of us and came back and won a championship.

Speaker 6 So when that ball hit the ground, you know, I started thinking about what type of message will I give to these guys if it doesn't go our way.

Speaker 6 But we stayed in the fight.

Speaker 6 We ate that touchdown by Ontario Brown, 83-yard pitch and catch.

Speaker 6 That settled us down. And then we were able to continue to move forward from that point.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because it is when you have these games where it's like a Mac team, a G5 team going up against a Power 5 team,

Speaker 1 it is like, you know, the beginning of the game is really important because you want to have your guys believe that they can do it. And it couldn't have started worse for you in that sense.

Speaker 1 And still the guys stayed in it and fought.

Speaker 6 Yeah, no, we talked about handling the environment early, and we didn't do a good job early in that game.

Speaker 6 And so in a game like that, momentum, the crowd, you know, if they would have went up 14-0, it would have been hard to come back.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 6 we recovered the ball, got it to the two-yard line, was able to have a 98-yard drive. And then from that point, it became

Speaker 6 who's going to want it the most. And obviously, we did at the end.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 7 I was just going to say, when you're playing against a team like Michigan or against Notre Dame,

Speaker 7 was your message kind of the same going into both of those games?

Speaker 7 Did you see something from Michigan that you saw at Notre Dame or was it completely opposite? Like, do you always say we can beat these teams when you go up against a powerhouse like that?

Speaker 6 No, the message was definitely not the same. And I actually got myself in trouble with our football team when we played Michigan.

Speaker 6 When we played Michigan, I thought it was the best team I've seen in college football at that point. And after they beat us pretty good, after the game, I said they built a team to beat Ohio State.

Speaker 6 And they haven't lost to ohio state since uh that team was different uh from a physicality standpoint from an offensive line the tight ends the d line and i i really felt you know it was not a good matchup for us uh whereas that was three years ago we've had three years to mature and grow uh into a more complete football team and so when we walked into notre dame even though they were a really good football team i thought we matched up well uh in the trenches uh which normally makes the biggest difference in those type of games.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And the message after, like PFT said, the wave of emotion, but I thought what you said, too, was so cool because college football's changed. And it's, you know, you have to admit that it's changed.

Speaker 1 The NIL, the transfer portal, and your message about, you know, family and keeping these guys here.

Speaker 1 I know you guys lost a few guys to the transfer portal, but what kind of, like going forward, having a win like this, it has to be huge for your program, knowing that, like, you have that message and you could see it on the field and people are watching that game like we're different here right

Speaker 6 no you wouldn't believe how many uh you know young people have been in my my dms talking about i want to come play for you it's almost like that uh that jerry maguire moment uh when when he hugged them uh you know when when rod had he was his only uh client and he hugged him when he made made good plays at the end and then all the other players started thinking why can't i have a relationship with my agent like that yeah and so uh that that's been the moment since that game is a lot of people want to come play for us.

Speaker 6 Unfortunately, you know, we don't have many spots left,

Speaker 6 but I think we can build upon

Speaker 6 genuine relationships because there's still a lot of people that want that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and

Speaker 1 it's just such a cool story. And it really is like what we love about college football shown through on a Saturday.

Speaker 1 Has it set in that it's weird to say, but that was the biggest win in Northern Illinois history?

Speaker 1 I mean, I I know you guys beat Alabama in 2003, Jordan Lynch finishing third, Heisman, you know, MAC championships, but is that weird to have that happen and be like, wait, that was the number one win in NIU history, and you're an NIU lifer?

Speaker 6 Well, you know, I went to a Catholic school in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Speaker 6 So I am well aware of everything about Notre Dame, you know, from all of my buddies being big, huge Notre Dame fans to watching them growing up.

Speaker 6 So I was aware of, you know, what a win against them would mean. And just to find a way to get it done.
How many times have you been in games or seen games like that where

Speaker 6 the guy jumped over our safety and the game changes, right? But we were able to stand the fight and find a way to make a couple plays at the end to give ourselves a chance to win. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Did you have any friends and family members that were upset with you for beating Notre Dame?

Speaker 6 You know what?

Speaker 6 All of my buddies and family, although they are Notre Dame fans, they said for one day they were rooting hard for the Huskies. So that was, you know, meant a lot to me.

Speaker 7 They probably said that afterwards just because they were like, yeah, I was totally rooting for you the whole time.

Speaker 7 Coach, you know, damn well during the game, they were like, come on, Irish, yeah, make this 61-yard feel.

Speaker 6 I agree. I agree.

Speaker 9 I'm sure they were rooting for it.

Speaker 6 And then when it turned the other way, they figured they couldn't lose either way. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So your pregame speech, I have a question about that.

Speaker 1 You said Rocket Ishmael's not walking through that door. There's no chance a room full of 18 to 22-year-olds knew who you were talking about.

Speaker 1 Did you, was there a moment where you're like, I needed it? I probably should have done a different name here.

Speaker 6 Yeah, you know, when you, when you work on those speeches, you get yourself all prepared all week, and you're like, I'm going to really get them this week, you know.

Speaker 6 And so I walk in there and I'm like, hey, man, Rocket Ismail is not running through that tunnel. And

Speaker 6 to me, Rocket Ismail were one of the best college football players in college football history. And they kind of looked at me like,

Speaker 6 I'm not understanding what you're saying.

Speaker 6 And so then I had to give a couple more names so they can under, you know, people that's played in Notre Dame, that's had tremendous careers.

Speaker 6 So I gave Joe Montana, you know, everybody knows Joe Montana, Jerome Bettis, Ricky Waters.

Speaker 6 But,

Speaker 6 you know, in my mind, I thought it was going to go a different direction because I have a tremendous amount of respect for Rocket Ismail. That's perfect.

Speaker 1 Did you think at any point in your pregame speech to be like, hey, guys, I know this is Notre Dame, but we've been, you know, we've gone to Kalamazoo on a Tuesday night with, you know, 30 degrees and sideways snow.

Speaker 1 Like, there's Maxion's tough.

Speaker 1 You guys, you guys have been like, South Bend is something, but you have to go to, you know, play ball state when it's, when the wind is whipping and there's like 20 people in this crowd.

Speaker 1 That's tough, too.

Speaker 6 No, those are tough moments because you know what? It takes a lot more to get them excited to play. But Notre Dame had a tremendous atmosphere, a lot of fans.

Speaker 6 Uh, you know, those guys get up for those type of moments, especially on national TV. So, uh, but I understand your point, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 Now, you got the tough job of making sure you don't eat the rat poison because everyone's saying really nice things about you, right?

Speaker 7 Like, you guys, you guys are America's sweethearts right now, and I'm sure that all your players enjoyed themselves after the win as well they should.

Speaker 7 It's a massive, massive thing, but now you almost have to like bring that back down to earth. Be like, we got the rest of the season ahead of us.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I think our players know me well enough now.

Speaker 6 I've recruited all of them. They understand

Speaker 6 what I demand at practice, what I expect, the standards and expectations. So when we get on the practice field tomorrow morning, they understand full pads.

Speaker 6 It's going to be physical, like a training camp practice.

Speaker 6 And we're going to get better on the practice field. And those are the things that's going to help us continue to stay grounded.

Speaker 7 Yeah, so I saw that you offered to help out Marcus Freeman after the game.

Speaker 7 Like, was that right after the game where you said, Coach, if there's anything we we can do to help you guys for the rest of the season if you want to if you want any of the stuff that we saw on tape that we took advantage of you're happy to help him um that's it i feel like that's an unusual thing for a coach to offer to an opponent that they just beat um do you think he's going to take you up on that

Speaker 6 yeah he i mean he has taken me up on it and we've talked uh on the phone a couple times and exchanged text messages it was my first time meeting him Obviously, I have a lot of respect for him as a head coach.

Speaker 6 I want him to do well, you know, for obvious reasons. And, you know, just because we compete, it don't mean we can't help each other or try to assist each other to make each other better.

Speaker 6 You know, sometimes when you become a head coach, you don't have many people you can really

Speaker 6 rely upon because nobody's going through what you're going through. And I understand,

Speaker 6 I don't understand what he's going through, but I have an idea of some of the things he's going through. And if I can help him and help

Speaker 6 him achieve the type of things he wants to achieve, that's what it's about.

Speaker 6 You know, paying it forward. They're never going to play us again.
So

Speaker 6 we will never be a common opponent. And, you know,

Speaker 6 I want to see him win a national championship. He's at a program that can win a national championship.

Speaker 7 That's very cool.

Speaker 7 Plus, if they, the more games they win, if they do make it to the playoff eventually and they do win a national championship, then you can just say, we're actually the national champions because we beat the national champions.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Also. So I want them to win.
I want them to win a lot of games. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Don't sell yourself short. I mean, g5 gets a spot in the in the playoff you could see notre dame again you don't know yeah

Speaker 7 what if you give him all this advice and he uses it to beat you come on

Speaker 1 hey listen we'll hey we'll we'll we'll go over that bridge when it happens all right uh but but but certainly um i just wanted to you know be a resource for him that's fair i have another question about a different coach uh you were roommates with pj fleck at niu yes um was there ever a moment where you're like hey pj just chill out man like i don't need any more motivational sayings.

Speaker 1 Like, I'm good.

Speaker 6 You know, I've known him a long time, and he understands who I am and what I'm about.

Speaker 6 And so

Speaker 6 he has a persona,

Speaker 6 you know, that, you know, has worked really well for him.

Speaker 6 But when he comes around me, he understands, you know, listen, I'm Thomas, and you PJ, and we going, you know, we're going to address each other as such, you know, like we like, you know, like we know each other.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Sometimes he called me Coach Hammock. I said, don't do do that.
Yeah. You know,

Speaker 6 we're not going to play that type of game. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 6 we are great friends. And,

Speaker 6 you know, it was exciting that he was able to share that type of message and the pride that he has for NIU. Yeah.

Speaker 1 PJ is a friend of our show, too.

Speaker 1 I mean, he's got the motivational sayings. He gets everyone pumped up.
I have one last question for you.

Speaker 1 It's not about NIU, but I'm just curious because I'm a Wisconsin Badger and you were a coach there.

Speaker 1 Two different stints. You were the running backs coach, though, with a room of Melvin Gordon, Monty Ball, and James White.

Speaker 1 What was that like just being like, look at the, like, the town, Melvin Gordon, I think his first year didn't even get many carries because, and he ended up being, you know, whatever, second all-time or third all-time in a single season rushing.

Speaker 1 What was it like being in that room with those guys?

Speaker 6 Well, first of all, I'm glad the transfer porter wasn't around when I was coaching those guys because there was not a chance in hell that you can keep all three of those guys in your program.

Speaker 6 But they were highly, highly competitive.

Speaker 6 You know, it was fun to coach. If one guy did something, the other guy tried to do more.
I actually have James White on my staff now. He's working for us and doing a great job.

Speaker 6 But all three of those guys were unique in their own way. We also had two fullbacks that got drafted: Brady Ewen and

Speaker 6 Watt,

Speaker 1 you know, Derek Watt.

Speaker 6 So we had five guys in our room that all got drafted uh you know off the same uh approach and and they were very professional uh in college and uh what a what a great it was a great time uh to be coaching those guys yeah and you must have i mean as a running back yourself and a running back coach uh that big 10 championship game against nebraska must have been like that's that's the peak of running back that's you can't you can't do better than that That was the most fun time I've had.

Speaker 6 Well, hold on, second most

Speaker 6 from Saturday. yeah uh

Speaker 6 but you know the the roll up 500 and something yards on nebraska and the thing about it we played them early in the year at their place and lost by three and so they thought they had a real good tendency on how we was blocking the jet sweep uh and so we changed some things up during the week and you know all i think melva had over 200 yards monty had over 200 yards and james had 150 yards so um those three guys won us the championship who used those linebackers who's that linebacker on uh was it will Compton?

Speaker 7 Yeah. That was a linebacker on Nebraska.

Speaker 7 When you were watching film, getting ready for that game, you were like, I'm going to run that guy over. We're just going to run right at him.

Speaker 6 No, he was a heck of a player

Speaker 6 in college.

Speaker 6 He would hit you hard in your face.

Speaker 6 But we ran around him. We got the ball to the perimeter.
Yeah. So he wasn't as involved.

Speaker 7 Hard hitting, but maybe not the fastest guy in the world.

Speaker 1 Yeah, good game plan. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 Great game plan.

Speaker 7 So, Coach, I had one question actually about your fullback. Is it Brock? is it lamp

Speaker 7 lampy brock lampy brock lampy that dude was knocking people over left and right so we do an annual award here on the show that gets handed out to the nation's top collegiate fullback and i think we're putting him on the watch list as a running back with your running back background how how nice is it to have a dude like that that can take two guys out of a play at once Listen, he's so valuable for our offense and getting our run game going.

Speaker 6 He does a lot of the dirty work that people don't see, that don't show up in the stats,

Speaker 6 but are

Speaker 6 very noticeable to the coaching staff. And we wouldn't be able to run the ball the way we like to run the ball without a guy like him.
So to have him on your watch list,

Speaker 6 I can't think of very many guys in the country that's going to be better.

Speaker 1 I love him.

Speaker 7 Yeah, he's very high up there.

Speaker 7 That was almost, I almost give him credit for a fullback win, but we don't do that. It was a great team win.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, Coach, thank you so much for your time. Best of luck rest of the season.
Might have to get out to a game. I mean, I love Maxion more than anything.
So we appreciate it. And yeah,

Speaker 1 go get in the playoffs. I need a Mac team in the playoffs.
That'd be great. Nothing better.

Speaker 6 Thank you. And go Huskies.
Yes.

Speaker 7 Go Huskies. Go Huskies.

Speaker 1 Thanks, Coach.

Speaker 7 Man, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 8 When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts. That's where Snickers comes in, man.

Speaker 8 That thing is packed. Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate.
It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 8 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this, Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 8 Snickers satisfies, man.

Speaker 14 That's a winning play.

Speaker 1 What's up, guys? It's Big Cat here making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey. How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 1 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 1 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt. Age four years in bourbon barrels.
Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 1 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter try proper Irish apple a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp fresh notes of apple so get out there and make your Irish entrance anything else just wouldn't be proper okay let's wrap up the show Hank FAQs did big T give a comment

Speaker 7 yeah Big T I'm I'm speaking with him right now okay big T says all I can confirm is that the song plays after touchdowns

Speaker 7 Chador's song plays after his touchdowns and someone else had reported it and then he sent me a link of the North Dakota State game says go to 1350 and turn your sound up.

Speaker 7 It plays after the touchdown.

Speaker 1 Does it play the fight song first?

Speaker 7 Stand by.

Speaker 1 Can we get a pinky bet before the start of week two for Panthers, Giants, and maybe throw in Washington? That's a little premature. Pinky bet? Huh?

Speaker 7 What pinky bet?

Speaker 1 I think he's asking for he wants your pinky team, maybe. Oh, no, my pinky team comes after week two.

Speaker 7 But those are three bad teams. Yeah, those are would not be.

Speaker 1 They have to be teams that are reasonably you could see winning the Super Bowl. Not Washington, Washington's.

Speaker 7 I told you, we're not thinking Supi right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 We're one week at a time.

Speaker 1 Panthers, definitely not. Bengals.

Speaker 1 Bengals are making me nervous because they're playing the Chiefs, and I don't want to do that because they could definitely win the Super Bowl. I have to feel it, too.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to just pick a team. It's a team that I'm confidently saying will not win the Super Bowl.
I think the Bengals could go 0-2 and still win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 7 But the Falcons.

Speaker 1 Falcons could be on that list. People had some buzz about the Falcons.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Jets.

Speaker 1 Jets could be on that list. The one scary one that has come in my head,

Speaker 1 Packers.

Speaker 1 You couldn't do that. I couldn't do that.
Imagine if the Packers won the Super Bowl and I also had to cut the tip of my pinky off.

Speaker 7 It would make you feel better, maybe.

Speaker 7 At least this is my pain. Yeah.

Speaker 1 For the Jets, Aaron Rodgers, the boogeyman, would also be. He doesn't hurt me anymore.
It was not when he was. But what if he.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 7 You can't do the Jets because

Speaker 7 you're inviting the Boogeyman back in.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 7 You're like, I miss you, Boogeyman.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true. What are good old interviews or shows that newer listeners should give a listen to or a personal favorite?

Speaker 1 That's a good question.

Speaker 1 Someone asked me this the other day. I think

Speaker 1 the funniest when it happened and it still holds up is the Martin Shrelly interview. Yeah.
It was so funny. Shrelly was good

Speaker 1 because it was so ridiculous. Like, what?

Speaker 1 BFD got actually heated.

Speaker 7 I think I told him I would fuck his mom.

Speaker 1 So ridiculous. Yeah.
Gary Busey is another one that

Speaker 1 slept on.

Speaker 7 That was a wild one.

Speaker 1 Barry slept on. Stone Cold.
Oh, dog, the bounty hunter. He hit me up.

Speaker 1 He hit me up and was like, I don't think I've DM'd him in six years. He hit me up yesterday out of the blue.

Speaker 7 To find the poop-eating guy?

Speaker 1 No, he was like, we got a... It was like a poster.
I think it was maybe a missing kid or something that he's looking for. And

Speaker 1 he was like, hey, your last message went to spam. Hope you're well.
And I was like, what do you need from me, dog? And then he sent me a number.

Speaker 1 he's like hit this person up we'll coordinate a three-way call so i might be back on the dog i might i might be back part of the tell him that you'll help him find the kid if he helps you find the guy that said he'd eat poop out of solo cup yeah i mean this is

Speaker 1 if my number gets called i'm not i'm there dog but uh who else other ones uh not not kareem actually the the first time well it's the only time but it was the first grit week and we swung through youngstown and interviewed jim trestle jim trestle was very jim trestle i thought was a a good interview.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like I think any of the ones that we've had on multiple times, if you go back to the first one, they're always great. Like the Harbaugh first one, Joe Buck, first one.

Speaker 7 Terry O'Connell, first one. It's probably pretty good.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Any of those are really fun because it's like you can see the beginning of the relationship and it

Speaker 1 John Cena first one, great. John Cena, first one, great.
Yeah. Yeah.
John Cena first one, great. That one's not so good.

Speaker 1 Hey guys, not an FAQ, but more looking for advice for my boyfriend who works for a famous politician who has recently come under heat for using songs to walk out to without getting them cleared first.

Speaker 1 Do you think that he should tell the person he works for to keep doing it and keep playing the song, using the song, or hold off until the legal teams figure it out?

Speaker 1 Everyone really loves a song he comes out to.

Speaker 7 That's a good question. So I guess

Speaker 7 I'm not a legal expert, but from what I know about copyrights and songs, if you're using somebody else's song,

Speaker 7 even if it might not even be the person who wrote it, but sometimes publishing companies own the rights to the song that somebody else wrote.

Speaker 7 If the publishing company finds out that you're using a song that is their property, then they will sometimes engage with you and you don't know what your liability is.

Speaker 7 And then you have to wait for all the dust to settle after the fact.

Speaker 7 And if you've been using it for a while, then you want to make sure that you're not giving them anything else to talk to you about when they're talking about all the other times that you've done it.

Speaker 1 Also, I'm just assuming this is Trump, and Trump's a guy who,

Speaker 1 he talks about everything. So if he's not talking about this, there's probably a reason.
So

Speaker 1 people probably ask him, and like, why aren't you addressing this? It's like,

Speaker 1 he would address it if he could. That's a good point.

Speaker 7 He probably can't. Or he would find some way to subtly address it without talking about it.
Right.

Speaker 1 Which the subtlety, maybe not. But yeah.

Speaker 7 Maybe not that.

Speaker 7 Some people might think it's subtle. Some people that would listen to it would be very confused and not understand what he's talking about.

Speaker 1 But some people would understand the subtle thing.

Speaker 7 And those people that would get it,

Speaker 7 he would appreciate it.

Speaker 1 And if I know Trump like I know Trump, I know he would work hard to figure out a way to

Speaker 1 make it work. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Right.
So it might not work right now, but he's going to find a way to make it work. And he probably.

Speaker 1 If you keep asking him, he's probably not going to be able to answer it.

Speaker 7 And he'd probably just say, like,

Speaker 1 bear with me. Yeah.

Speaker 7 I'm on your side. Yeah.

Speaker 7 They're only coming after me because I'm standing in front of you. Yeah.
That's what he would say. I didn't get shot.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 He didn't or did? He did.

Speaker 1 He He said he did. He did.
Oh, he didn't. You think he didn't? No.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 His ear is fully recovered. Yeah.

Speaker 1 His ear just

Speaker 7 spontaneously bleeding? Hey.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, he did not get shot. Okay.
Okay. All right.
That's a take. He did not.
Okay. That's a take.
I said that's a take. I don't agree with it, but it's a take.

Speaker 7 Hank, can we unpack this for a little bit? Yes. Somebody died.

Speaker 7 True. They got shot in the head.

Speaker 1 Are you just finding this? Unfortunately, no, I know, I know, I know. Okay.

Speaker 7 And then his ear was bleeding. And then there's a picture of the bullet going past the back of his head.
And then the FBI said that he got shot.

Speaker 1 Have you seen pictures of his ears?

Speaker 7 A close-up of his ear. Currently.

Speaker 1 Hank's right. They did regenerate pretty quickly.

Speaker 7 But your ears have a lot of blood flow. They regenerate.

Speaker 1 Does Holy Fields.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 that actually is maybe like I didn't dig too deep into it. I saw, it's like a Vander Holyfield's ear has not regenerated.
Oh, Trump is totally fine.

Speaker 7 I think there's a difference between regenerating

Speaker 1 healing.

Speaker 7 It's not like a lizard's tail where if you pulled my ear off right now, I'd come in in a week and have an ear that grew up.

Speaker 1 Wouldn't he be talking about it more?

Speaker 7 You don't think he's talked about it? He's been talking about it.

Speaker 1 I also think he's like, I mean,

Speaker 1 if you come that close to dying, it's got to fuck you up bad. Bad.
Yeah. I don't care who you are.
It's got to fuck you up. All right.
Maybe he got shot. I don't know why I even said that.
Last FAQ.

Speaker 1 I like it. You took a shot at a take.
It's important.

Speaker 7 It's good. It's important to have a take.

Speaker 1 It's part of my take. Take your shot.

Speaker 1 Last one. I feel like this is it.
Is there any other good ones?

Speaker 1 Ooh, last one, I guess, out of the last ones. Longtime listener, first time Texter.
With the Patriots big upset on Sunday, this means Summer of Hank is still going. Oh.
Summer technically isn't over.

Speaker 1 No, I do not think the Summer of Hank is still going because based on Hank's body language on Sunday after the Patriots won, he wished he was golfing.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, you can't deny that.
He did not care. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You can't deny it. Sundays were tough.
Sundays and Fridays have hit hard. That is the true sign.
Sundays are the Fridays.

Speaker 7 How are Fridays hitting hard?

Speaker 1 Because I'm here later on Fridays. I was like every Friday.
He was golfing every Friday. That was the Yak.
It was my Yak Fridays.

Speaker 1 Those are over because I have to be here later on Friday. And then Sunday also, it was like Friday at like 1 o'clock, Sunday at 1 o'clock.
Those are pretty much every day, every weekend of the summer.

Speaker 7 You have the Friday scaries? Yeah. What do you do on Fridays now?

Speaker 1 To wait for advisors. Oh.
Oh, damn it. Damn it.
Damn it. Damn it.
You have to do your job. I know.
It's fine.

Speaker 1 But yeah, no, I think the Summer of Hank's over because he summer Hank means that Hank is doing whatever he wants to do and living his best life. He was not living his best life.

Speaker 7 I think the official conclusion of Summer of Hank was when he lost Mount Rushmore. When he lost the duel.

Speaker 7 That was the end of it because now you've got this big, big, dark rain cloud that's hanging over the back of your head. And you're going to be thinking about the nine darters and the nine-darters.

Speaker 7 You have to get it in popular. Although,

Speaker 1 yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm not getting a nine-darter. Yeah, you are.

Speaker 1 Not with that attitude, you aren't.

Speaker 7 Just do it.

Speaker 1 Come on, Hank. Just do it.

Speaker 1 Hank, you're going to watch Kent State, Tennessee on Saturday?

Speaker 1 Fuck no.

Speaker 1 I think you're not going to get your TV situation.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You're going to do that on purpose.
All right. Good show, boys.

Speaker 1 Numbers.

Speaker 1 20. 3.
56.

Speaker 1 8.

Speaker 1 Come on, memes.

Speaker 1 9.

Speaker 1 Someone did say, and it was a very mean thing to say, that PFT and memes have the same number of lottery ball wins as their teams have wins.

Speaker 7 That is a very mean thing to say.

Speaker 1 That was a very mean thing to say. I said, no, no, no, don't say that.
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 7 I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 I told that person, you're a bad person.

Speaker 7 I don't even care.

Speaker 1 What was that, Pug, say it again?

Speaker 1 97.

Speaker 1 Eight. It's going to be eight.
Why would I care?

Speaker 7 I'm going to get it right now.

Speaker 1 12!

Speaker 1 12. Did you pass 12 recently? No.

Speaker 7 I don't think so. 12.

Speaker 2 I think it's the second timer in the past couple weeks.

Speaker 1 Memes, I was rooting for you. Yeah, we could.

Speaker 7 Love you guys.
