Speaker 1 This is three years running. We also have an even more special guest, Jerry O'Connell, is sitting in Hank's seat to start the show.
So how it's going to work is JOC is here in place of Hank.

Speaker 1 Some may say he, Wally Pip, ever heard of him?

Speaker 1 Jerry O'Connell might take Hank's spot.

Speaker 4 Way to compete, Hank.

Speaker 1 He's going to do hot seat, cool throwing with us. Then we're going to get to Chris Berman.
And after the show, we'll have Hank on to recap his night of comedy.

Speaker 1 So you'll get it all in the entire episode.

Speaker 7 When Cool Creamy Ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 2 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 6 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 6 Now in the street, there is violence.

Speaker 6 And then I love the sound of work to be done.

Speaker 6 No place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 6 And then I can't blame all on the sun.

Speaker 6 Oh no, we're gonna rock it down to electric avenue.

Speaker 6 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 6 Oh, we're gonna rock it it down to electric. It's part of my take.
Isn't about Marshall Sports.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take. Today is Wednesday, February 7th.

Speaker 6 And Hank, you look different.

Speaker 6 Yeah,

Speaker 2 you know, I'm just working. Let me try some of my material.

Speaker 6 Knock, knock. Who's there?

Speaker 2 Climate change.

Speaker 5 Climate change, who?

Speaker 2 I'm kidding. I'm not real, so I'm not really here.

Speaker 6 And that is Jerry O'Connell, by the way. Oh, no, it's still Hank.
It's still Hank.

Speaker 5 Hank, what do you think about your Patriots offseason?

Speaker 2 You know, I think it was good to hire

Speaker 2 Coach Mayo internally. I think that's going to be good.

Speaker 2 Don't know what we're going to do in the QB position. I think Mac Jones is a little

Speaker 2 bitch.

Speaker 6 Hey, what's the deal? What is the deal?

Speaker 2 Just tell me the background of Mac Jones.

Speaker 2 Because he seems to me to be a really wealthy kid.

Speaker 6 Is he one of of these wealthy?

Speaker 1 McCorkle?

Speaker 8 Is that what it is? His name?

Speaker 6 McCorkle?

Speaker 2 Is that his name? His name's McCorkle.

Speaker 2 So his name is not Mac Jones.

Speaker 5 Is his middle name McCorkle?

Speaker 1 I think his first name is McCorkle.

Speaker 6 I'm looking it up. Michael McCorkle Mac Jones.
Because he just,

Speaker 6 and

Speaker 2 I'm sorry to get right into it about the Patriots, but I do want to say

Speaker 2 the NFL is better when the Patriots are losing. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 Like, think about this. I'm not kidding.
Think about this season and how exciting it's been, how many ups and downs, especially in the AFC. The Broncos were in it for a second.

Speaker 2 The Texans were in it for a second.

Speaker 1 Jacksonville looked good.

Speaker 6 I mean,

Speaker 2 there was a lot of teams in play. And when the Patriots aren't in play, it's just more fun.

Speaker 4 It's wide open.

Speaker 2 It's just wide open.

Speaker 1 But Matt Jones. Not really, because it's the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 I thought for a second the Chiefs weren't going to make it.

Speaker 2 I think

Speaker 2 I listened to you all religiously.

Speaker 2 i think you would all agree with me yeah they flicked my switch though we might have steered you wrong on that man i put a couple futures on the jaguars i didn't put them on the broncos i almost did when they went through their little run i mean of course i had i was i i i seem to bet with this podcast for some reason that's never

Speaker 2 insane reason yeah we're the poster boys for gamble responsibly well betting is so funny because when you hear people talking about something it just gets in your head yeah you're like that was a good point yeah that's so funny These guys know what they're talking about.

Speaker 5 Jerry, I love your jacket. It's, it's awesome.
I love any sort of like Super Bowl or NFL theme merchandise. Yeah.
It looks awesome. I think you just got it because I think they sold that downstairs.

Speaker 2 I did. I just got it.

Speaker 2 I actually,

Speaker 2 I've been in Vegas now for a couple days.

Speaker 2 I actually hit it big in Kino.

Speaker 6 I was there in Keno, had a huge score.

Speaker 6 How much?

Speaker 2 I mean, a lot of money. But not only did I buy this, let me show you the back of this jacket, too.
If you're watching on YouTube,

Speaker 6 you don't get to hear a lot of rumble.

Speaker 6 um yeah

Speaker 1 wow that's nice you just wanted to show off your ass no i didn't only stop there if you look at my pants i actually like bought a lot of clothes i had so much money look at who makes these pants big cat oh who who makes these pants that's the bellagio makes those you got you got hotel pants the bellagio makes those pants he's getting up up close so for people who are like hey why is jerry sitting in hank's seat this show we have the schwam as the interview chris berman hank is getting ready hank has been a diva all day.

Speaker 1 He's basically been like, don't talk to me. I don't want to do anything.

Speaker 5 That's just normal, Hank, though.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's getting ready for his show. So we figured our good friend Jerry O'Connell will sit in Hank's seat for the start of the show.

Speaker 1 At the end of the show, we'll talk to Hank about how the comedy night went. But we have J-O-C.

Speaker 1 You have your briefcase. Should I ask what's in the briefcase this time?

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. I brought my briefcase.

Speaker 2 You guys were kind enough to allow me to manage your high-stakes fantasy team.

Speaker 6 How'd that go? That was a terrible job. How'd that go, Jerry? Darren Waller, no matter what.
We never hear back on that.

Speaker 2 We had a terrible year, and I wanted to take this time with you to tell you some things I learned from this season, and maybe you could find it in your hearts to allow me to manage your team again.

Speaker 2 You don't have to give an answer today.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 just open the briefcase.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 5 It's like a Quentin Tarantino movie.

Speaker 1 Oh, he's got sheets.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I made some.

Speaker 1 He also, Jerry David. He gave me an Excedron that was wrapped in a napkin.

Speaker 2 Toilet paper, actually. Toilet paper, yeah.

Speaker 1 So that was, that's just true friendship right now.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Are you sure?

Speaker 5 Is that an Exedrin? Yeah. It looks like

Speaker 1 you're a mule.

Speaker 8 Hogan.

Speaker 6 Hold on.

Speaker 6 Cut with a little. You have way too many.

Speaker 6 Cut with a little fentanyl.

Speaker 2 No, I'll make it fast.

Speaker 2 I realize.

Speaker 6 Wait, hold on, hold on.

Speaker 1 Let me see this one thing.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 1 Patriots, none ever. Mac Jones seems like such a little bitch.

Speaker 1 NFL is better when the Patriots lose. It's more exciting, way more story.
So you already did the Patriots.

Speaker 6 I already did my Patriots, but

Speaker 2 You know what?

Speaker 6 I'm just going to give you some things I learned from last season.

Speaker 5 Jerry O'Connell.

Speaker 6 This is good. Jerry O'Connell recap.

Speaker 5 Jerry O'Connell's 2023 season recap.

Speaker 2 So let's start with the AFC East,

Speaker 2 which was such an exciting division. When I came on your show in August,

Speaker 2 I said, don't draft any dolphins

Speaker 5 at all. How'd that work?

Speaker 6 Well, that...

Speaker 2 That was a mistake because fantasy, you basically score points from offense. And their offense was

Speaker 6 as

Speaker 2 incredible as I've seen in my lifetime, actually.

Speaker 5 Did their running backs score any touchdowns this year?

Speaker 2 I believe Mostert led the league. I think he had something like 21 touchdowns.
So that was a mistake.

Speaker 2 I think I specifically said stay away from Mostert.

Speaker 6 That was a mistake.

Speaker 2 So I've actually changed my tune.

Speaker 2 All the Dolphins for next season, if I were to be your manager, all the Dolphins.

Speaker 6 What do you mean, if you are?

Speaker 6 You have a lifetime conference.

Speaker 5 Let's make him earn it back. No, you know what?

Speaker 6 I'm going to give you a lifetime conference. You know what?

Speaker 5 I'm going to fire you right now, Jerry. And getting your job back is contingent on how this goes.

Speaker 2 This is what it feels like to be Coach Siriani.

Speaker 6 Sorry.

Speaker 2 Sorry, Max.

Speaker 2 Oh, I have a question.

Speaker 6 Is

Speaker 2 Coach McDaniels annoying?

Speaker 6 Yes.

Speaker 6 Josh McDaniels? No. McDaniel McDonald.
Michael, yeah. Michael McDaniels.
Not annoying.

Speaker 5 I don't think he's annoying.

Speaker 6 No, not annoying.

Speaker 1 If they don't win next year, yes, annoying.

Speaker 2 You don't think

Speaker 2 the pants,

Speaker 8 the Kulop pants are like a little like...

Speaker 6 You're wearing Bellagio pants. I don't think you can judge.

Speaker 5 The sunglasses all the time is a little bit much for me. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The reading glasses that you don't need.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 2 Bills, the Buffalo Bills, we're staying in the AFC East.

Speaker 6 All of them.

Speaker 2 Yep. Okay.
Every single one of them.

Speaker 5 Stephanie Diggs.

Speaker 1 Is this your preview and your post?

Speaker 2 Well, no, this is what I'm going to do if you do choose to get it.

Speaker 6 Okay, all right, got it, got it, got it, got it.

Speaker 10 This is what happens in August when you come back.

Speaker 2 Yeah, also, I'm going to have some revisions

Speaker 2 if I make it back. The Jets, absolutely none of them.
It's a cursed franchise ever again.

Speaker 2 Not even Brees Hall, because

Speaker 2 Memes knows Izzy's going to vulture all those touches points.

Speaker 2 Pats, none of them.

Speaker 2 Mac Jones is highly annoying.

Speaker 6 I just can't draft any.

Speaker 2 Let's move on to the AFC West. I can't draft any Chiefs.
I just can't do it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And I think it's funny.

Speaker 2 Jake actually brought this up in his good-natured, annoying way

Speaker 2 where he said that dynasties are good for the business.

Speaker 6 That was annoying of him.

Speaker 2 It made me think, like, he was talking about how the Patriots helped, basically built Barstool, you know? But they're so annoying, those dynasties.

Speaker 5 Yeah, they are. If they're not yours, yeah, if they're yours, then there's nothing better.
Yeah, so you just got to find a dynasty that's your own.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I guess I just

Speaker 2 never experienced that kind of winning in my life.

Speaker 5 I mean, you married a supermodel.

Speaker 2 Well, I know, but it's still,

Speaker 9 I don't know if you've seen, but they're on the rocks.

Speaker 6 We're not on the rocks. That's a joke.

Speaker 9 I saw a report that said that you guys are on the rocks.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I know. I mean,

Speaker 2 we're constantly fighting with each other, but we're like

Speaker 6 no lawyers have been called. Okay, all right, good.

Speaker 1 I'm just, I see the reports.

Speaker 2 Isn't every marriage on the rocks?

Speaker 6 Yeah, it's true. It's built on the rocks.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's

Speaker 6 a nightmare.

Speaker 2 Like, we're here in Vegas. We're walking around.
There's a huge convention. Every female convention person that you walk past stares at you with those hungry eyes.

Speaker 6 Yeah. I have a hotel room.

Speaker 2 And they're like wearing a lanyard. And like you have to keep walking because.

Speaker 5 I've seen the way women react around you, Jerry.

Speaker 2 Yeah. They love you.
They love you.

Speaker 5 They love Jerry.

Speaker 2 I don't like the Chiefs. They bother me.

Speaker 2 I don't want to say anything negative about

Speaker 2 Taylor Swift, but

Speaker 2 that just...

Speaker 2 It's unfair that Taylor Swift was basically introduced to the NFL this year.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 1 she's already in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 In the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 In the Super Bowl. It's like that.

Speaker 2 It's just like, like, these people need to know life doesn't work that way.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she should have dated someone on like, yeah.

Speaker 6 The Panthers. Yeah, the Panthers.
Yeah. Go to Bank of America.

Speaker 2 I want to see her Bank of America Stadium week 16.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Like

Speaker 2 making the heart sign to someone. Like, I mean, like.
I'm feeling.

Speaker 5 I want to see David Tepper pouring a drink on her.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Okay, Broncos, AFC West, who is going to be their quarterback next season?

Speaker 5 Jameis Winston.

Speaker 6 Maybe.

Speaker 6 Great interview. Maybe.

Speaker 2 Really good. Great interview.
Good stuff. A little long at times, but man, really, really good.

Speaker 2 That guy,

Speaker 2 wow, that guy can spin a yarn.

Speaker 6 He can talk, yeah, he can.

Speaker 2 Good stuff, though. Really good stuff.

Speaker 2 That was a good one.

Speaker 2 None of the Raiders.

Speaker 2 You know, the Raiders are like a talent, like vacuum. Like, they've ruined Devontae.
They've ruined Josh Jacobs.

Speaker 2 Look, I love a lot of O'Connells in the league now. Love that.
My last name is O'Connell.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 they're like a talent

Speaker 2 sponge.

Speaker 2 None of the Chargers, AFC West.

Speaker 2 I just don't see it happening.

Speaker 2 It's like buying a dilapidated Victorian home. It's like not

Speaker 2 going to be inhabitable for years.

Speaker 6 Oh, he's Harbaugh.

Speaker 5 So you're a Chargers fan.

Speaker 2 I am. And I am a Chargers fan because there's

Speaker 2 I don't mean any

Speaker 2 I don't mean to offend any Chargers fans, but it's like so easy to get tickets there.

Speaker 6 It's like

Speaker 2 parking's way easier there's no waiting you can wait the whole game and get right out of that parking lot it's like pretty easy um

Speaker 2 but uh not yet chargers um afc

Speaker 2 a significant thing happened last season and you guys didn't really talk about it

Speaker 6 you talked about it a little bit i i'm i'm

Speaker 2 big on the bengals i i like them i love their offense i love joe burrow i love joe mixon i talked about everybody here um

Speaker 2 that withholding of the information about the hand thing,

Speaker 2 I actually bet that game. And I love a money line.
I love a close money line bet because you get some odds and you're not looking at points. And

Speaker 2 that to me is like, I try to bet singularly. You know, I think that's the way you win money is that you don't have an exotic, is that you have one bet.
And

Speaker 2 like if someone's

Speaker 2 an underdog by three points, that money line bet, that's my jam.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And I took the Bengals that week thinking, oh, well, he's not on the injury report.

Speaker 2 I know he wore that cast and he was photographed with the cat with the tape on his thumb, but it's nothing because it's not on the report.

Speaker 6 Like,

Speaker 2 we're now in an age where everyone is gambling. It's legal.
It's no longer done with a bookie. You know,

Speaker 2 this is like money.

Speaker 2 That man needs to be on that injury report. And I'm sorry to say there needs to be repercussions.

Speaker 6 And I'm done with the Bengals.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 Sorry? That's the repercussion.

Speaker 5 Jerry will no longer draft their players onto his fantasy team.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the worst fate you could have.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 2 AFC South Jaguars.

Speaker 6 I'm all in on the Jaguars.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 6 All in.

Speaker 5 May I ask why?

Speaker 2 I don't know. I just have a feeling they're going to.

Speaker 2 You know, like the first time I came on your show, I told you I had a thing for the Jags, and just I think they're going to move to London. I just can't wait for English people to be like,

Speaker 6 Nigel, did you hear? The Jaguars are coming.

Speaker 2 Storied history of the Jaguars.

Speaker 6 Frederick Taylor.

Speaker 6 Marcus Brunel.

Speaker 2 The great Maurice Jones Drew. Sir Maurice Jones Drew.

Speaker 5 Blake Bottles.

Speaker 6 Right.

Speaker 2 Or will they remain the Jaguars or will they become like the beef eaters or something? Beef Eaters would be good.

Speaker 1 Or the beans.

Speaker 5 Red coats. Beans.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 5 The inbred monarchs.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Colts, AFC South.

Speaker 6 I love the Colts, all of them.

Speaker 2 Anthony Richardson's got to protect himself, but

Speaker 2 love him. Love Michael Pittman.

Speaker 5 Yeah, Jim Merce is okay. He's on the mend right now.
He tweeted a second ago. He's back.
Good.

Speaker 2 Shout out to his mama.

Speaker 2 Texans. All the Texans, except that 1-2 punch of Singletary Pierce isn't doing it for me.
1-2 knockout punch.

Speaker 2 But all of them, man, Collins, Tank,

Speaker 2 man, what a team.

Speaker 2 Eagles, Max, you ready?

Speaker 6 All of them, Max.

Speaker 2 Every single one of them. All of them.

Speaker 6 Yeah, you are back. We're so back.

Speaker 2 So fun to watch.

Speaker 5 How do you feel about Brazil, Max? The birds are opening the season in Brazil.

Speaker 12 I like that they're opening the season because that's just kind of an exciting thing. I don't like that it is counting as a home game.

Speaker 6 Yeah. That sucks.

Speaker 1 One less game at the Lynx.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Max, you should, I mean, you should make a trip down there.

Speaker 6 That's an old airplane. Jared, we could work on that.

Speaker 1 But think about how many farts that is on an airplane.

Speaker 2 A lot of farts on an airplane, and think about all the TFing we're going to be doing.

Speaker 6 That's true.

Speaker 5 You might do some BFing in Brazil.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 5 Is that button? Just with the cheeks. Just the cheeks, though.
Like hot dog in the buns.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Yeah, really.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's, by the way, they're, I don't mean to generalize and stereotype, but they're known for their asses. Yeah, and that's like a lot of BFing.

Speaker 5 There's a lot of BFing going on down there.

Speaker 6 And that would be so fun.

Speaker 2 I wonder if Max would never actually want to insert back there if he'd just be like, I just want to, I want the friction from the rubbing on your butt.

Speaker 2 And then like a Brazilian person would be like, put it in, please.

Speaker 6 Max, now put it in. And Max would be like, nah, nah, nah, baby.

Speaker 2 I want the friction.

Speaker 6 This is what I want.

Speaker 6 No, no, no. This is what.
This is my thing. You know, this is my thing.
I want the friction on the button.

Speaker 6 Please, Max, please put it in. Put it in now.

Speaker 2 I want you inside of me.

Speaker 6 No, no, no, no, no. Go inside.
Stop saying that. Shut up.
up.

Speaker 13 No, yeah, that's basically it.

Speaker 6 That's basically it. That's exactly right.
Friday.

Speaker 6 Yeah, Friday.

Speaker 5 Okay, I'm going to stand up for high school football here. I feel like this is encroaching on their territory, right? Friday night.
That's when the kids play.

Speaker 1 That's what they did when they did the Jets Dolphins game on Black Friday. They basically were like, hey, this is coming.

Speaker 6 Yeah, fuck. I used to take every day.

Speaker 5 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 5 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 5 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy monster 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 5 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Fridays are weird. Also, you have to be careful, and and I know as your former fantasy manager, you've got to set lineups for those Friday games.

Speaker 2 You forget about them, and then they get locked in, and

Speaker 2 you're stuck with someone that you don't want, Brandon Cooks or something.

Speaker 5 Sure, as part of our review process for how the season went,

Speaker 5 what was our final record?

Speaker 2 It wasn't good. I stopped watching.
I'm so sorry. My name is My name.

Speaker 2 But I let you down this season.

Speaker 6 Big time. Big time.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 the only thing to do is to

Speaker 2 get back up and start working again. And that's going to take us to the NFC East.

Speaker 6 Cowboys.

Speaker 2 Cowboys need a second receiver. You know, I don't mind.

Speaker 2 I don't mind Dak Prescott. I don't mind the Cowboys.
Tony Pollard was non-existent.

Speaker 2 I think I told all the AWLs to draft him. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 He sucked.

Speaker 6 He sucked. Why?

Speaker 2 Why did he suck?

Speaker 1 When you're the backup, you get those carries after everyone does the hard yards, and then

Speaker 6 you first.

Speaker 5 You actually said that.

Speaker 6 I remember you saying that. I was like, ah, maybe we don't want him to be the featured back.

Speaker 6 He also had that knee injury that probably slowed him down a little bit. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It was a bummer of a season for them.

Speaker 2 I mean, I'm sitting in Hank's chair, so I feel like I got to defend them. Yeah.

Speaker 5 Great defense, though.

Speaker 6 I am going to talk about Tiffany Gomez in a second.

Speaker 2 I'm going to save that, though, because I need to collect my thoughts.

Speaker 2 Giants, I want to apologize again to the AWLs. I told them to waste their fourth-round pick on Darren Waller, and that was an error.

Speaker 5 Darren Waller, no matter what.

Speaker 6 Yep.

Speaker 5 When did you realize you fucked that up? Was it week one?

Speaker 2 About halfway through week one.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Bad.

Speaker 2 Bad. That was a real error.

Speaker 5 And then I bet when DeVito got in, you were like, well, maybe there's going to be a connection there. Maybe this is good.

Speaker 2 It was a fun story until it wasn't until everything came back down to earth. That was a good interview.
Love that interview. That was really good.
Sean Stilato.

Speaker 2 The Commanders.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 6 What's going to happen with them?

Speaker 5 We're going to be great in like

Speaker 5 two years.

Speaker 5 Two years.

Speaker 6 This year,

Speaker 4 we're going to get a quarterback.

Speaker 2 Which one? We got Cliff.

Speaker 2 Any of the three.

Speaker 5 Any of the top three, I'm fine.

Speaker 2 Interesting. Yeah.

Speaker 2 What happens to Howell, who I didn't mind?

Speaker 5 Howell, Howell's probably going to be a great backup. Probably one of the best backups.

Speaker 6 Actually, we're cornering

Speaker 5 the backup market. We've got Sam Howell, and we've got Jacoby Brissette.

Speaker 5 I think we're set.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 2 I didn't mind them. I didn't mind them early in the season.
Yep.

Speaker 5 Until like week four, like really early in the season.

Speaker 2 Just need to see. If you guys rehire me, I just need to see what's going to happen.

Speaker 2 NFC West.

Speaker 2 Why am I so...

Speaker 2 Why do the 49ers bore me so much?

Speaker 6 Why are they so bored? Why does it make no sense? Yeah, I don't know. It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 No, it makes no sense. They're fun.

Speaker 2 They really are? Yeah.

Speaker 5 you don't like running the football?

Speaker 2 It's just like, what do you want? Like 20 points from all your starters every week? Is that what you want? I don't know. I'm so bored.
Hey, you know what?

Speaker 2 By the way, there's another, I don't want to make this about celebrity football couples, but there's a pretty famous football couple on the 49ers, you know?

Speaker 2 Olivia Colpo, beautiful woman, and Christian McCaffrey, arguably the best player in the league, the best player in the league.

Speaker 6 Like, nobody talks about, like, nobody really talks about them.

Speaker 2 Like, I'm telling you, there's a boredom that happens with the 49ers. And I know I've talked about the guy I work with who always gets in my face.
And

Speaker 2 he's just a volatile man. He's just a tattooed, volatile man who just always says to me, like,

Speaker 2 and the Niners just had one of those seasons this year. He's always like,

Speaker 6 yeah, you like the Niners, right? You like that. Again, just steamrolling.
Yeah. Nothing.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 the Packers didn't even put a scare into us. Like, we just, for a second there, I thought, but look at us.
Niners punch you in the mouth with the ball. It's just so.

Speaker 2 I can't draft them. They're too boring.
It's 20 points every week. 20 points every week.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that sucks.

Speaker 6 Oh,

Speaker 2 let's talk about the Seahawks.

Speaker 2 Is Pennix going to be their quarterback? Oh, that'd be cool.

Speaker 1 Are you thinking just because he went to Washington? Yeah.

Speaker 2 And isn't there.

Speaker 6 Hold on a second.

Speaker 2 You guys know better than I do because

Speaker 13 you have fast internet.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 who's the new Seahawks offensive coordinator?

Speaker 6 Oh.

Speaker 2 I think it is someone from the Washington Huskies. Please look it up.
Jake.

Speaker 10 Jake. Well, they just hired Steve Belichick as the defensive coordinator.

Speaker 2 Offensive coordinator. Jake.
Waiting on Jake. Jake.
Jake. Jake.

Speaker 2 Come on, Jake.

Speaker 1 Can't get it.

Speaker 1 Fucking Jesus. This is sad.

Speaker 6 What? You're killing me, man. You're fucking killing me.

Speaker 5 They might be doing interviews because he just got hired last week.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 2 Maybe they're doing interviews.

Speaker 6 I don't think they've hired anyone yet.

Speaker 2 Okay. I'm sorry, Jake.
I apologize.

Speaker 6 I apologize for not getting that. Don't apologize.

Speaker 2 Like, I did you wrong. Like, get mad.
Like, say,

Speaker 2 Jake, say,

Speaker 2 I had no right to do say that. You had no right to do that, Jerry.
Say it. Just get mad, Jake.

Speaker 10 You had no right to do that, Jerry. Oh, Jake.

Speaker 6 Mean it.

Speaker 10 You had no right to do that.

Speaker 6 That's pretty good. That's a faker.

Speaker 2 Oh, I love the Rams. You know why? Because they don't score 20 points every week.
They like sometimes score, like sometimes

Speaker 2 Stafford is like

Speaker 2 40 points, and then some weeks, nothing. It's so fun.

Speaker 6 The Cardinals.

Speaker 2 I got to tell you something.

Speaker 2 Sometimes I'm not allowed to watch football in my house. Like, because

Speaker 2 my family's there

Speaker 2 and they watch reality TV on Sundays. There's a show called 90 Day Fiancé that comes on on Sundays that my wife and my children watch.
And so

Speaker 2 we have

Speaker 2 one,

Speaker 2 it's like a tuner, like a one tuner that you have to use in our house. So I've been listening to some NFL games this season, like on the Sirius XML.

Speaker 2 And it is interesting

Speaker 2 listening to a game.

Speaker 2 And we, one week, we streamed Kyler Murray because we had Joe Burrow and that didn't work out well. And then I think we had to start Kyler Murray in our league.

Speaker 2 And I listened to a Cardinals game the entire game. I was doing like yard work.

Speaker 2 And I was really thinking to myself,

Speaker 2 I had an edible, so I was a little out of it. But

Speaker 2 I thought to myself, am I the only person in the world listening? It was like week 16. Am I the only person in the world listening to this Cardinals radio telecast?

Speaker 5 Yeah, probably. Yeah, you might have been.
I want to go back. You only have, you're only able to watch one show on all the TVs.

Speaker 2 it's like a um for a second there. We were um,

Speaker 2 we have like a direct TV thing, and it was we were only allowed to watch on one tuner, but we fixed that since then. One of our tuners was out, okay.

Speaker 10 Dave Pash, voice of the Cardinals, he does ESPN too, he's really good, so you enjoyed, yeah.

Speaker 2 No, it was his voice sounded great, he did a great job, yeah.

Speaker 1 But I those are the comments that you don't have to take from Jake,

Speaker 6 just so you know. We don't care about the announcer of the Cardinals radio broadcast, you know, Dave Pash.
Jake, Don't ever fucking interrupt me again.

Speaker 6 There it is. Don't bow into it.
There it is. I'm not actually not joking.
Don't interrupt me. When I'm on like a roll, when I'm on a bit, like, don't interrupt me, okay?

Speaker 2 If Hank is in the middle of his comedy act today and he's like, knock, knock,

Speaker 6 knock, knock, say it, Jake. Knock, knock.

Speaker 2 Who's there? Don't fucking interrupt me.

Speaker 6 I'm kidding. No.

Speaker 2 Let me do a Hank joke.

Speaker 6 Knock, knock.

Speaker 13 Who's there?

Speaker 2 Epstein. Epstein, who? I was murdered.

Speaker 6 That's a good joke. Great joke.

Speaker 6 I like it, Jerry.

Speaker 6 Sorry.

Speaker 2 I'm kidding, Jake. We fucking love you.
Calm down. By the way, you're making me into a mean person.

Speaker 6 I'm not a bully.

Speaker 2 You're turning me into one.

Speaker 5 Yeah, you did this to yourself, Jake. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And the NFC South? Absolutely no one. Not one player.

Speaker 6 Love that.

Speaker 5 Smart NFC decision.

Speaker 6 I'm not even doing it.

Speaker 1 That's the strongest argument.

Speaker 2 Guys, that's it. That's my pitch.
Think about it.

Speaker 2 all I got for you. Yeah.

Speaker 5 All right. Strong me a culpa, Jerry.

Speaker 1 How are you feeling about the Super Bowl before we do hot seat, cool throne? Are you going to like the Chiefs or the 49ers?

Speaker 2 You know, I had a pretty terrible year betting on games this year. As I told you, I bet on the Bengals right before Joe Burrow's hand fell off.

Speaker 2 And I had a future on Baltimore because I listened to this podcast and you somehow fucking got into my brain.

Speaker 6 Yeah, that's my bad.

Speaker 2 And I think I was really rooting against Taylor Swift. I just kept betting against Taylor Swift.
I was like, you need to learn failure. Like,

Speaker 2 very talented woman, beautiful woman.

Speaker 6 I've met her.

Speaker 2 Wonderful, like a presence, like a presence, like

Speaker 6 a force.

Speaker 2 But like,

Speaker 6 life...

Speaker 2 Life is just like a shit show. It's just like, it's just one letdown after another.
It shouldn't be that easy. Life isn't this easy.
It's not that it shouldn't be this easy. It isn't this easy.

Speaker 2 It's a nightmare. Life is a nightmare.
And

Speaker 2 like the most traumatic thing to happen

Speaker 2 to Taylor Swift, I guess, is Kanye taking, saying Beyonce deserved this. Like, is that really that traumatic? It's kind of a cool story.

Speaker 2 Like, if you're like, oh, my gosh, Taylor, tell the time that Ye came on stage.

Speaker 2 I just, I'm just in a bad mood.

Speaker 2 And I'm actually, I have no idea who's going to win this game, so I'm not going to bet on it. I'm just going to watch it.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 6 Enjoy it.

Speaker 5 Are you allowed to watch the entire game?

Speaker 2 I think I am. I think I am.

Speaker 2 You know, it's funny.

Speaker 2 My wife,

Speaker 2 former supermodel, look it up.

Speaker 1 Yep. I'm going to look it up.

Speaker 6 Look it up, Jake.

Speaker 1 When I look her up, though, it says that your marriage is on the rock.

Speaker 6 It's not true.

Speaker 2 My wife doesn't like football, doesn't like the sound of the NFL.

Speaker 6 Rebecca Romaine O'Connell.

Speaker 2 Yeah, she doesn't have the O'Connell. She only took the Stamos

Speaker 2 and then dropped it.

Speaker 2 And then I actually took the Stamos.

Speaker 6 I'm Jerry O'Connell Stamos.

Speaker 5 Jerry O'Samos.

Speaker 2 I tried to take it.

Speaker 6 Jerry Ostamos.

Speaker 5 I'm looking at pictures of her. Yeah, no, yeah.

Speaker 6 She's a supermodel. But the only time.

Speaker 2 The only time I've really,

Speaker 2 I was watching. Oh, man, I wish Hank was here.
Too bad he's

Speaker 2 knock, knock.

Speaker 6 Who's there?

Speaker 2 J Sixers.

Speaker 6 Jay Sixers, who?

Speaker 2 We were just peaceful protesting.

Speaker 6 It's good, yeah.

Speaker 2 But the only game, the only Super Bowl I really watched from beginning to end with my wife was that Patriots Falcons game. And it was really funny.
My wife wasn't watching it.

Speaker 2 My wife was shopping online. My wife wasn't watching it.
And it's so funny. In the fourth quarter,

Speaker 2 I can't believe that. I was hate watching it because I wanted to see the Patriots lose.
And

Speaker 2 I couldn't believe believe what was happening. And my wife, like, looked up from, I don't know,

Speaker 2 Wayfair or whatever fucking pillow she was buying, another fucking pillow.

Speaker 6 Oh, God, let's go to Brazil, Max. Let's go.
Yes.

Speaker 2 Boys trip.

Speaker 5 Let's go to Brazil, Max. Actually, that'd be a fun trip.
Jerry and Max do Brazil. Yeah.

Speaker 6 That'd be a great trip.

Speaker 12 That'd be a great trip.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 my wife looked up and went, are the Patriots going to win this game?

Speaker 2 And that was like, I was like, are you watching this? And my wife was like, they were down 28 to 3. Are they going to come back and win this game? And

Speaker 2 that was the last sort of happy moment we had with each other.

Speaker 5 Sounds like she knows ball. Would she like to manage our fantasy team?

Speaker 6 I would be open. Oh, God, it's so annoying.

Speaker 2 My wife is from Northern California. So like all the time now, she's like, bang, bang, Niner gang.

Speaker 6 Need only the May.

Speaker 2 It's so stupid. God, that's another annoying thing about Niners fans.
My wife has like Niners gear and she wears it and like

Speaker 2 people on the street are always like bang bang.

Speaker 5 Is this why you hate the Niners? Is it because it makes it makes your wife happy?

Speaker 1 It reminds him of his wife. Yeah.

Speaker 6 No.

Speaker 6 No,

Speaker 2 I like my significant other to be happy. I like everyone to be happy.
I'm just

Speaker 2 I don't know. This season was a letdown.
I let you down as a fantasy owner, a fantasy manager. No, you're the owner.
I'm the manager.

Speaker 2 I hope you find it in your heart to

Speaker 2 Sirianni me.

Speaker 5 Yeah, bring in some new coordinators. How about that?

Speaker 2 I tend to work by myself. I mean, that's

Speaker 2 who I tend to work with. And Jake, I'm sorry I jumped on you like that.

Speaker 10 No, I'm sorry for interrupting.

Speaker 2 But just think about it, guys.

Speaker 5 Yeah, okay. Who's sorrier between Jerry and Jake? They're both so polite.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 10 I mean, only one of us will lose sleep about it.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Before we get into Hot Siri's face there,

Speaker 5 before we do Hot C Cool Throne, there was a fun story that Jake sent to us a couple months ago about Jerry and an AWL this podcast. So, Jerry, you found an AWL's dog.
You saved a dog.

Speaker 2 I have

Speaker 2 man, this is going to really impress everybody here.

Speaker 2 I have five dogs.

Speaker 6 Oh,

Speaker 2 they're all rescues. Adopt, don't shop.

Speaker 2 We do not feed them regular kibble. We only feed feed them

Speaker 6 farmer's dog.

Speaker 2 It's so great. They come in the bags.
You open them. They love it.

Speaker 13 They love it.

Speaker 1 Farmer's dog is just good stuff.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 6 I was running

Speaker 2 my two younger ones who were kind of crazy and I got to run them around.

Speaker 2 And there was a beautiful golden retriever sitting by

Speaker 2 themselves in the middle of the street, just sitting there in my neighborhood. No leash, sitting there.
And my dogs went crazy because it's like a you know, it's like a rogue dog. And like

Speaker 2 my dogs went over to this dog, and they immediately became friendly. And it's so funny, dogs like to run in packs, you know, it's like

Speaker 2 being an AWL, you know, getting a pack, you know. I mean, I'm running around the MGM here, we're all high-fiving each other, taking selfies and stuff.

Speaker 2 I had the briefcase down there, people wanted photos of me in the briefcase.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 I got the dog, and it's difficult having a dog without a leash, you know. So I was like like holding this dog.

Speaker 2 And I texted the number on the, there was a number on there, and I texted the number, and I said, hey, I got a beautiful golden retriever here. Is this your dog? I think I sent a photo.

Speaker 2 And I said, my name is Jerry O'Connell. You know, I'm in the neighborhood.
Your dog's fine. I can hang out here for a little bit.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 I immediately got a text back saying

Speaker 6 I fucking drafted Darren Waller in the freeway.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 there was very little gratitude for me standing

Speaker 2 with a dog. And at first I was angry,

Speaker 2 but again,

Speaker 2 they're right.

Speaker 2 I really led a lot. A lot of people rely on me for their fantasy

Speaker 5 facts.

Speaker 2 Picks, facts,

Speaker 2 you know, strategies, draft strategies. And

Speaker 2 you know, again, much like I talked about earlier, money is involved typically.

Speaker 2 And I felt bad about that. So, yeah, it's just funny how my season last season as your fantasy manager is still following me.
But the dog was okay, and we sort of had a laugh about it.

Speaker 6 You're a hero.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I don't know if I'm a hero. No, you're a hero.

Speaker 5 Thank you for your service, Jerry.

Speaker 6 No, no. Come on, my Billy.
Come on.

Speaker 1 All right, let's do Hot C Cool Throwing. 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.

Speaker 1 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.
All right, so Jerry, you are sitting in Hank's seat.

Speaker 1 Do you want to go first or we can go first and then come back around to you?

Speaker 6 Yeah, yeah, you guys go first. Okay, all right.
Well, we'll start with Jake. We'll come around.

Speaker 4 All right. Jake, your hot seat, cool throne.

Speaker 10 My hot seat is MetLife Stadium. Yeah.
It was recently announced that the very cursed stadium in the NFL world will be hosting the 2026 World Cup final. Yes.

Speaker 10 However, I believe they're switching it to grass,

Speaker 6 but it's still cursed.

Speaker 5 Yeah, FIFA is making them switch to Grass. FIFA is also not calling them by the name MetLife Stadium.

Speaker 5 It's just New York, New Jersey, which made me realize: like, we don't ever have to call these stadiums by their corporate names if we don't want to.

Speaker 6 It's going to just be Giants Stadium.

Speaker 5 And it's always Heinz Field to me.

Speaker 5 It's not Akrisher, but yeah.

Speaker 2 Staples Center.

Speaker 6 Yeah, crypto.

Speaker 6 What is that even? Is crypto even a thing? Yeah, yeah, not anymore.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm surprised. Were you upset that you didn't get involved in the FTX? Is that kind of just a

Speaker 1 level of your celebrity? You weren't there yet.

Speaker 2 You know, it's funny. Um, just getting back to the whole like

Speaker 2 waking up with fear, angry at the world thing. Um, I remember when it was all happening, I was like, man, why am I not on this level?

Speaker 2 Like, how do I, like, by the way, they were like getting paid in like ownership, they were getting paid not only in like currency, in a currency.

Speaker 2 They were getting paid in like, it would be like getting paid in a banking system. Yeah.
Like,

Speaker 2 and I remember feeling,

Speaker 2 what's the word? Jealousy, envy, anger. And,

Speaker 2 man, I was so happy when they all got sued. It was so exciting.
Like, yeah.

Speaker 2 Pay up, Brady.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Matt Damon.

Speaker 2 You duped us all, you know?

Speaker 6 It would be like telling people to draft like Darren Waller in the fourth round exactly and people believing yeah

Speaker 10 all right your cool throne uh my cool throne is lions general manager brad holmes so he had his uh i think it was his end of year press conference and he just roasted the media about their old takes exposed i don't know if you guys saw any of these quotes no but uh he told someone you wanted us to pick a quarterback you didn't want us to pick penne sew I know you said that was a miss.

Speaker 10 I give probably two people in this room credit for admitting admitting they were wrong. So he just lashed out.
I like this. I like the media should be held accountable.

Speaker 6 When we're wrong, you tell us we're wrong. Enemy of the people.
Because we're not scared to tell you that you suck.

Speaker 6 So you should tell us when we're wrong.

Speaker 5 Tell the media when they suck. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah. So, like, if we're wrong, tweet at us.

Speaker 4 We're wrong.

Speaker 2 Go after us.

Speaker 2 I don't think you should do that. I don't think you should do that.
I just think you have to act above.

Speaker 2 I think you have to sort of like.

Speaker 1 No, I disagree.

Speaker 5 We're also very petty. So there's a reason why we're not cheating.

Speaker 2 But honestly, like,

Speaker 2 one could say that the Eagles' downfall began when someone pretty high up in their coaching organization were yelling at fans in Arrowhead Stadium, which is like, it's petty, you know? True.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I see what you're saying. True.
But he's probably holding that in in the heat of the moment at the podium.

Speaker 5 That would be a great speech to give if they won the Super Bowl.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 But they lost. So, like, yeah, you got to wait.
You got to hold that one.

Speaker 6 Okay, fair.

Speaker 1 PFT, your hot seat, Coulter.

Speaker 5 My hot seat seat is Drake. Yes.
Drake's on the hot seat. Jerry,

Speaker 5 have you seen the internet today?

Speaker 4 I have not. No.

Speaker 5 All right, so Drake, international superstar, top of his game, I think most number one singles of all time.

Speaker 5 He was jacking off, and a video came out.

Speaker 5 I'll put it this way: his penis won't be getting any NFL head coaching opportunities because it's too large and intimidating.

Speaker 6 Wow.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's too large.

Speaker 5 He's got a big dick, yeah.

Speaker 2 Huge dick. God, what a bummer.
It's so much better to hear hear like you guys were like filming a commercial and you stole glances at

Speaker 2 each other's dicks and they weren't big like yeah no

Speaker 5 we're not built like drake unfortunately drake i actually think my my conspiracy theory brain tells me that drake leaked this himself because it's a good angle it's like you know and he's got a big dick and he's got a big dick yeah so if anything it like my respect for drake increased today what a bummer yeah it's really big bummer yeah they don't make butts big enough in brazil for his dick yeah yeah No insertion, though.

Speaker 6 Yeah, no, just

Speaker 5 cranking it. Yeah.
Hot dog in the butt. Just cranking it.
My cool throne is Chinese spy pigeons. Chinese spy pigeons are on the cool throne.
There was a pigeon that got it was imprisoned.

Speaker 5 It got arrested in India. And it was held in jail for eight months because they thought it was a Chinese spy pigeon.

Speaker 5 They saw that it had these two metal rings on its leg, and the metal rings had Chinese writing on it. And I guess the Chinese have used spy pigeons before.

Speaker 5 So they imprisoned, much like Brittany Griner, they imprisoned this pigeon in India for a long time. They conducted a thorough review of the situation.

Speaker 5 They found out it was a Taiwanese racing pigeon, which apparently is a thing that you can bet on, which sounds awesome. These rules.
And these pigeons can make like professional athlete salaries.

Speaker 5 Like these pigeons are some of the richest athletes in the world. And so they determined it was a racing pigeon.
They released it. Now it's in a hospital recuperating from its stay in Indian prison.

Speaker 5 But it's a good story. I don't know the name.
I want to find out what the name of this pigeon is.

Speaker 5 But yeah, they did a deep and proper inquiry and investigation. They did not find any fact associated with spying and the pigeon.

Speaker 5 It was released last week, and it is in fine health, according to the hospital. So a good story with a good ending.

Speaker 2 They should have had

Speaker 2 like a pigeon, a prisoner exchange, like a pigeon exchange with like a war crimes pigeon.

Speaker 5 A Chinese warlord gets returned from India

Speaker 6 for the other pigeon.

Speaker 2 And then they pass each other on the tarmac.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 5 Like Bridge's Spies. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah, that would rock.

Speaker 1 All right. I got two hot seats.
One is,

Speaker 1 I guess, cable. Well, no, cable might be on the cool throne.
ESPN, Fox, and Warner Brothers are all combining. So we just have cable again.

Speaker 5 Yeah, so into another, like a, it's for sports, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, so I guess maybe the hot seat is just us forever believing that we were gonna not end up backing cable.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 2 So let me just ask this. So Fox Sports and ESPN are, because I know they are the same company.

Speaker 1 It's Fox, Warner Brothers, and ESPN.

Speaker 2 And so is there going to be a, like, because

Speaker 2 I know there's a Fox Sports and an ESPN, but I know they're both owned by Disney. Are they going to be one channel? I think the Disney's emerging.

Speaker 10 I think they're teaming up for like an app.

Speaker 5 For a streaming service, yeah.

Speaker 5 Right now.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Yeah.
So I don't know. It's stupid.
Just let me watch all the sports.

Speaker 6 I don't care. Yes.

Speaker 1 Stop with those shit. Just tell me where to watch.

Speaker 5 ESPN, Warner Bros. and Fox are launching a new sports streaming service, combining each company's sports rights.
Which I like for one reason though,

Speaker 5 because going back and forth between ESPN and Fox Sports on your phone or tablet on a college football Saturday sucks. It sucks ass.
So I'm very glad about this.

Speaker 1 All right, then my other hot seat, PFT, alluded to it, Mike Vrabel for being too big.

Speaker 1 Incredible Puliser Prize-winning journalist, Diana Rossini, who only reports facts. Yep.

Speaker 5 Scoops Rossini is what they're calling her. Yep.

Speaker 1 She said that she had a GM at the senior bowl who mentioned to me Vrabel's physical build, that he's a very large human being and can be very intimidating to people in an organization that are going to be part of these decisions.

Speaker 1 And that is a factor. It's always, I mean, you have to understand if you're a football owner, large human beings, you don't want to be around them.

Speaker 5 No, will they be able to communicate effectively with other large human beings? Yeah. You want a nerd.
You want a tiny little nerd.

Speaker 5 I do like the idea, though, of owners just being intimidated by big people. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Just like Vrabel.

Speaker 5 I don't want to deal with this guy. He could kick my ass.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Vrabel is he is a large human being. And then my cool throne is Andy Reid, who is not going to retire.

Speaker 5 Wow. He had noted small guy, successful football coach, Andy Reid.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 They did a big article about him on ESPN where it was all just football guy quotes where he said

Speaker 1 he'll spend a couple hours a day on football, whether he's watching video or drawing up plays for possible inclusion in the playbook. He said, I enjoy doing that.
Some people read novels.

Speaker 1 I look at plays.

Speaker 1 They interviewed Dave Tob, special teams coach. He said, football is his hobby.
This is all he does. I'm trying to get Andy to play golf.
I'm trying to get him to go hunting. He just won't do it.

Speaker 1 Andy Reid also has a bucket list that he won't reveal, but he said there are things you want to do. I try to chip away at them.
There's nothing huge. I went to Italy last summer.
Good eating.

Speaker 1 I ate my way from the north to the south. And then Patrick Mahomes said, other than spending time with his grandkids, he doesn't do any of that stuff.
He's all about football and cheeseburgers.

Speaker 5 I have to get my hands on this bucket list from Andy Reed. I got to know what he said.
He's just eating in different countries. Yeah, eating my way through different countries.

Speaker 1 I know, I went to this country. I'm going to eat some more.

Speaker 5 My prediction, they win the Super Bowl, he probably goes to France. Yeah.
Eats his way through France. Eats his way through France.

Speaker 1 All right, Jerry, finish this off. Hot seat, cool throne.

Speaker 6 Hot seat, cool throne.

Speaker 2 My hot seat is Hank, who tonight is doing comedy. And I want to say,

Speaker 2 I've really been thinking about him. He's been in my thoughts.
And

Speaker 9 as well.

Speaker 2 Well, I know that Hank went and did the comedy store or something in Chicago.

Speaker 6 Lap Factory.

Speaker 1 Lap Factory, sorry.

Speaker 2 I know those are two different teams.

Speaker 2 And I really hope that he, like, because he could go up and he could be quite effective if he tells his story of barstool.

Speaker 1 I think that's what he's going to do.

Speaker 2 Because that, to me, is what we want to hear. By the way, I already got the pay-per-view.
I'm already getting it. Jake, give it a plug.

Speaker 10 Barstool.tv slash PPV.

Speaker 6 Oh, this is coming out tomorrow.

Speaker 6 If you want, you can still buy it.

Speaker 6 You can still get it.

Speaker 2 Look, there's no linear viewing anymore or whatever they call it.

Speaker 2 I know you were talking about the ESPN Fox Sports app, but whatever.

Speaker 2 I hope he just tells his story.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Fucking Max with the yawn when I'm talking.

Speaker 6 I don't know who the fuck. Are you boring you, Max?

Speaker 1 You're boring.

Speaker 6 The fuck?

Speaker 2 A huge loud yawn?

Speaker 6 I'd rather you farting in fucking 33D on a fight over.

Speaker 5 What the fuck? Max, were you worried that your behavior on a plane was so, so abhorrent that Hank was going to come put a hole in your wall?

Speaker 6 No.

Speaker 11 I was not worried about that. Yep.

Speaker 6 Okay, now got it. Now it's too late on set.
Yep, yep, now I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.

Speaker 2 Max, I'm a fucking guest, and you yawn loudly in the middle of me telling my hot seat.

Speaker 1 And now, what he did was he passed it to me. I'm about to yawn.

Speaker 6 Oh, man. Who are you, Hank?

Speaker 2 And my cool throne is

Speaker 6 Hank. Uh-huh.
Okay.

Speaker 2 I have such

Speaker 2 an intense attraction to Tiffany Gomez.

Speaker 6 It is.

Speaker 2 It's actually, I am,

Speaker 2 I'm obsessed with her. I'm obsessed, and I'm going to tell you why.
I've thought about it. You know, I follow her on social media, and I even, I don't slip into DMs.
I'm not.

Speaker 5 That's a very non-horny way of saying I follow her on Instagram, by the way.

Speaker 2 Follow her on Instagram, but I even leave comments like,

Speaker 6 looking good, girl. URL, like, G-U-R-L.

Speaker 8 Like...

Speaker 2 Go Mavs. I'm not even a Mavs fan.
She's always in a jersey. She's always going to sporting events.
She's beautiful. Her hair is perfect i think the thing i'm most attracted to is that there's a real

Speaker 2 mental issue there that

Speaker 2 i don't know if it's drug-induced i i

Speaker 6 like those people are fucking real i see those people i i'm like

Speaker 6 Hank put a hole in her wall.

Speaker 2 And if I did that in my house, if I went up to a wall in my house and ran my knee in there,

Speaker 6 I'm not allowed to put a cup of water on a table without using a coaster.

Speaker 2 If there's a water ring there, I'm not having sex for years.

Speaker 2 I mean, years.

Speaker 2 If I wear a pair of shoes in the house and there's like a speck of dirt on them,

Speaker 6 I'm not touching my wife, like touching her for

Speaker 2 years.

Speaker 2 And here's a woman who is going to Cowboys games and Hank is kicking holes in her wall.

Speaker 6 And

Speaker 2 he spent not only the weekend there, he was there till Tuesday, Wednesday.

Speaker 6 Yeah,

Speaker 1 couldn't fly back.

Speaker 2 I'm really, I got to give it to Hank.

Speaker 6 That's

Speaker 5 good work.

Speaker 2 It really is good work. I'm really attracted to her.

Speaker 6 Look, I don't want, Tiffany, don't at me.

Speaker 2 I don't want any communication. Please, no, no communication.

Speaker 2 No DMs, nothing. Please.

Speaker 6 I don't want to go down that road.

Speaker 5 You can't have a trace of that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 But I'm

Speaker 2 like,

Speaker 2 Hank is in my cool throne for just being in the presence of

Speaker 2 the most beautiful woman in the world.

Speaker 10 Jerry, I just added you to the list. Yeah.

Speaker 6 The bonk list.

Speaker 1 You're on the bonk list.

Speaker 5 Have you closed your eyes and thought about them, Jerry?

Speaker 6 To be honest,

Speaker 6 I

Speaker 2 you know, I want answers. I don't want to get like into like, honestly, I've thought more about

Speaker 2 Max

Speaker 2 Tf'ing and now BF and that's an image. Yeah.

Speaker 2 That's an image. Like I haven't, like, I don't have an image of a Hank and Tiffany Gomez.

Speaker 5 That's good.

Speaker 2 Gomez? Gomez. Gomez.

Speaker 6 You got it right. Gomez.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Well, Jerry, thank you as always.
Oh, man. You are the best.

Speaker 2 No rollback question?

Speaker 1 No. We already did it with Boomer.

Speaker 6 Oh, oh, okay. Do you want one?

Speaker 2 Well, I mean,

Speaker 2 I just wrote a couple things down.

Speaker 6 Okay, okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 It's not a R-H-O-B-A-C-K-A.

Speaker 6 How do you spell it? Whatever, Howard. R-H-O-B-A-C-K.

Speaker 2 Sometimes I write a little poem. I know I let everybody down this season with my fantasy managing.
Think about it, guys. Think about it.

Speaker 2 But I wrote a little poem. I like to pick someone out on the staff

Speaker 2 and just write just a few words for them. And this episode, I chose

Speaker 6 Max.

Speaker 2 This is a poem for Max. Okay.

Speaker 6 Love it.

Speaker 1 Incredible, Jerry.

Speaker 6 We love you so much.

Speaker 1 You're such a great part of this show. So thank you for stopping by.
Thank you for wearing that jacket. Thank you for being you.

Speaker 6 We love you.

Speaker 1 We love you. All right, let's kick it to the schwam.

Speaker 14 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 14 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 14 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest. It is a Super Bowl week tradition, which is actually my favorite thing that this has become a tradition.
It's the third year in a row.

Speaker 1 We have the Schwamm, Chris Berman, in our studio this time.

Speaker 6 I love it.

Speaker 1 We're not in a hotel in Southbury, which, by the way, you were the most gracious host the last two years, but we wanted to host you this year. So the Schwamm is here.

Speaker 1 I mean, it really is a dream for PFT and I to have you be a Super Bowl, you know, every single year tradition, having you on this show.

Speaker 6 Well, A,

Speaker 6 it's nice to be in the house, not the house that Ruth built, but the house that pardoned my take. Yeah,

Speaker 6 it's really an amazing complex. And you fed me lunch.

Speaker 6 Now you're going to get the better side of me. Yeah.

Speaker 5 It is nice.

Speaker 6 And I'm proud of you guys. Thank you.
And thanks for being fans of football. I've told you this every time.
And somehow along the line, you enjoy the way we give you football. Yeah.

Speaker 5 I mean, Big Cat's right. The secret genius thing that we did at the start was we all got COVID, so we couldn't interview you the first time we wanted to.

Speaker 5 So then we had to reschedule making you a Super Bowl week guest and then doing it two years in a row. Now it's like you have to do this every single year.

Speaker 6 This is a binding

Speaker 6 offer I can't refuse. Oh, it's an offer you can't refuse.

Speaker 6 So here's the thing. I know it's not going to run until we're, but the day we're taping it, of course, remember we had this last year.
Yes. It's

Speaker 6 the second, which is Groundhog's Day, which is due, duh, dude, day. It is

Speaker 6 to bring that back. Yes, of course.
It's due to day. I mean, why wouldn't we do it today? Yeah.
Yeah,

Speaker 5 he didn't see his shadow, right? So we're getting early spring. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 That's that's you know what? Was there a book on that? I don't know. There was a book.
Yeah, I'm sure you could pick it up. Well, the north,

Speaker 6 half the country hasn't seen the sun in 10 days anyway. That's right.
That was an easy, that was an easy under.

Speaker 6 Yes. Yes.

Speaker 15 You know what we got to do?

Speaker 5 We got to go back and look throughout history. When the groundhog does not see a shadow, is that good for the underdog and the super bowl?

Speaker 6 Yeah. Oh, correlate.

Speaker 5 there's got to be a correlation there. Yeah, we'll have our best guys look it up.

Speaker 6 They used to have this. Remember, it took it not till recently that it would be after Groundhog's Days.
Yeah. You don't have to go that far back.
That's true. Yeah, that's true.
Easy research.

Speaker 1 Yes, easy research. So, the Schwamm, you're here.

Speaker 6 We want to talk Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 We want to talk everything. So, let's start with Super Bowl.
I was rooting so hard for the Schwami Super Bowl. We were yet again, like, I thought the Bills, we were believers.

Speaker 1 You have the Niners there, but it was, you know,

Speaker 1 we come that close again. But Chiefs, Niners, initial thoughts?

Speaker 6 Well,

Speaker 6 I looked at going into the season before anybody played a game, they were two of the three favorites, if you will, right? So the fact that however they got there, we'll start with the Niners.

Speaker 6 The fact that they're there is not a surprise.

Speaker 6 Now we can get into them a little bit because neither of their playoff wins were, quote, great, but the key word in that sentence is wins yep right so and they came from behind which especially the lions game however they did it you know it shouldn't have gambled

Speaker 6 they did it right so kudos to them

Speaker 6 the chiefs have gone the polar route okay they went from the favorites and i know them quite well

Speaker 6 and

Speaker 6 Usually

Speaker 6 Andy Reed's teams, or most teams that go somewhere, are rolling around Thanksgiving or early December since since the season goes longer.

Speaker 6 I think it was Christmas Day they lost to the Raiders.

Speaker 6 But it was like they had a,

Speaker 6 they kind of assumed that they were going to be them. We're going to score 40 points.
Well, maybe 33. We drop a few, but we'll be all right.

Speaker 6 We better realize

Speaker 6 right now what we're not and what we are.

Speaker 6 But we're good enough to win with what we are.

Speaker 6 That's to Andy, that's to Patrick Mahomes, that's to Steve Spagnolo, That's to anybody you mentioned.

Speaker 6 I don't want to say swallow your pride because this was late in the year.

Speaker 6 So the Chiefs that made, all right, I'll let you ask the next question. No, no, but you're right.

Speaker 6 The Chiefs that made the Super Bowl are not the Chiefs you expected to make the Super Bowl. Correct.

Speaker 6 But having watched them win in Buffalo, and Miami was, you know, minus 15, they were going to win that, I think, right? But they still held them to seven, although

Speaker 6 I don't know how they were going to score a lot of points. Right.
Right. But to win in Buffalo and to win at Baltimore with really,

Speaker 6 really

Speaker 6 low scoring 17, you know, you went on the road, a championship game where you've never gone,

Speaker 6 but they're at ease with who they are. But it took them to Christmas to go, we ain't going anywhere for like that.
So it's just interesting the route that they've taken. Yeah, they are.

Speaker 1 I mean, we've made the analogy many times.

Speaker 1 I think everyone in media has, but it is the New Age Patriots in that you have these seasons where it's like, ooh, because, you know, even in the Patriots, like the 07 season, they don't win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 That's That's the best team they, you know, ever had 18 and 0, all that. But those years when it's like, oh,

Speaker 1 is Tom Brady too old? Is Bill Belichick lost? And like, they stumble a little early, and then it comes to December and January, and they find a way, and that's what the Chiefs are doing.

Speaker 1 They're finding ways. So, here's my question, though, because it's great because you have seen all this football.

Speaker 6 You are a football historian.

Speaker 1 If Patrick Mahomes wins his Super Bowl, where is he in terms of the Montana Brady? Because it feels like he's inching closer and closer at a very young age.

Speaker 6 He's already in that discussion, although he would be the first to tell you, well, I have one too. But I would love to, so to answer your question, he's this age as

Speaker 6 Brady or this generation or this decades, Brady, Montana, and then

Speaker 6 you want to put in Johnny United, but he did.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Correct.
He's already there because the potential, is he 28? 28 years old. I still think of him as 22 and 23.
I never met him.

Speaker 6 There's something about him. See, it's funny.
Now, I went out and interviewed him a couple weeks ago, and one of the things I told him, and this is how you know he's,

Speaker 6 I said, you know, the Tom's early Super Bowls, when they won three out of four years, by the way,

Speaker 6 they were not the stars. Now, Tom Brady drives, end of game, Vinatari, field goal, et cetera.

Speaker 6 But it was defense. So the Carolina game,

Speaker 6 but they were more defense in 01, 03, 04. Yeah.
And running, especially in 04, they had Dylan.

Speaker 6 I said, you know that that wasn't the high-flying Tom that you probably have watched. He goes, actually,

Speaker 6 I've studied those games, and I see how Tom

Speaker 6 was. And then

Speaker 6 obviously the 07

Speaker 6 lost with

Speaker 6 25 touchdowns, whatever. Then at the last one, they won was 13-3.
Yeah. Right? Yeah.
3-3 in the fourth quarter, I think. Yeah.
I think it was tied with the Rams.

Speaker 1 You bet the over in that that game. He goes, I did.

Speaker 6 So why do we remember the ones? You remember the ones that are like so bad. So bad.
But like we were just talking Denver and Seattle.

Speaker 6 We never remember the ones that were geniuses. Nope.
But anyway, back to that. He goes, and I've studied the way Tom altered his game several times.

Speaker 6 I wasn't fishing for that answer. I just wanted to make the point that I lived those Patriots.

Speaker 6 They were a defensive team. I mean, name the players, right? The McGuinness and Teddy Bruski and Big Ted Washington and Ty Law at the corner.
We could go on and on and on.

Speaker 6 Vrabe a little later on, et cetera. He goes, I studied that.
I go, ah, okay. So you've actually gone back and watched maybe 20 years ago Patriots to see

Speaker 6 how the GOAT, if you will,

Speaker 6 did it? Fascinating to me. Yeah.

Speaker 5 That's great. Yeah.
It's interesting to see how they've done it. And I feel like...

Speaker 5 We watched that Ravens game last week, and everybody thought the same thing, which is why are you giving your running back six carries against the Chiefs' defense?

Speaker 5 Why don't you run the ball down their throat?

Speaker 5 I feel like, and going back to that Christmas Day game, I'm pretty sure that's how the Raiders beat him. I think they just ran the ball at him.
I think they did.

Speaker 5 They were just like you can't stop the run. I think that bodes well for the Niners and their ground game.
Christian McCaffrey.

Speaker 5 I feel like the creative stuff they do with the run game, like it's beautiful to watch Kyle Shanahan's system, isn't it? Like, you watch him run the ball, and you're like, this is beautiful football.

Speaker 5 And I feel like that's what they're going to lean into.

Speaker 5 That's going to be their strength, and and the the weakness of the Chiefs defense I think is stopping the run I mean Chris Jones is great but I think that's gonna be the game plan so that might that might be a good thing for your 49ers no can be you know Buffalo ran for a while and but then Cook had a big first take right I mean he had a pretty good game in the playoffs

Speaker 6 you're right about it being beautiful because

Speaker 6 Anyone that thinks they can, okay, if Debo, which he is now, right, they're all healthy, right? That flow.

Speaker 6 But it's not, okay, this is kind of the plays they run. No, no, it's kind of,

Speaker 6 he changes it up. And, of course, Debo and McCaffrey, but especially Debo, but McCaffrey's unbelievable.
I mean,

Speaker 6 he runs like a guy almost Derrick Henry size. Does that make sense? Yeah.
I mean, not really, but

Speaker 6 so their yak with the running game, let alone in the passing game, is formidable. The Chiefs, though,

Speaker 6 actually, John Harbaugh gave me an interesting thought

Speaker 6 because he's good friends with Spaggs. They worked together at Philly.
He had them in Baltimore for a little bit. They stay close in this group.

Speaker 6 I said, is there any tendency you can get on Spaggs' defenses before the game? He goes,

Speaker 6 he meant this as an ultimate compliment, which is going into your Shanahan comment there. So

Speaker 6 he's a Rolodex approach. I went, what do you mean? He goes, well, there's so much in that Rolodex that if I start to, he didn't say this.

Speaker 6 Start to, okay, so when it's third and eight, they always bring three guys. I'm making it up.
No,

Speaker 6 there's not. And I think with Kyle, it's fascinating.
It is beautiful to watch. I give you for that.
It is. It is.
They have all-stars at so many places.

Speaker 5 Yeah, and they're all, they're so physical, too.

Speaker 5 You've got Debo and watching Kittleblock, those two guys, they get incorporated in the run game, and they bring them in motion to give them head starts on blocks sometimes.

Speaker 5 It's just beautiful to watch it develop. It's not that, you know, like you think of old school football, you run the ball, you run the ball up the middle, up the middle, up the middle.

Speaker 5 It feels like a passing game in their rushing attack, like buried deep inside of it. And it's just, it's been awesome to watch.
And I'm also rooting for Trenton Williams to get a Super Bowl.

Speaker 6 I think he's a great player.

Speaker 5 He's been such a good player for such a long time. I'd like to see him get one.

Speaker 6 He's on all the reiterations of the Washington teams, right? They called him. He probably was on the Boston Redskins before they moved, right?

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 who do we have nickname-wise in this Super Bowl?

Speaker 6 Oh, you know,

Speaker 6 well, the best is, and John Lynch loves this when I do it, for Debo. I mean, I've resurrected what I used to use for Leto Shepard.
Okay.

Speaker 6 It's the Lido Shuffle by Boss Gags.

Speaker 2 Debo, whoa.

Speaker 6 I mean,

Speaker 6 and if he takes it to the house, the part of that song is one more for the road.

Speaker 6 Pardon my singing. Pardon my take, pardon my singing.
So I used to use that. Remember Leto Shepherd? Yes.
back?

Speaker 6 But I moved it up here. I like it.
So of that,

Speaker 6 see, Mahomes, he's so good. I mean, when he first came in, I kind of used

Speaker 6 Mahomes is where my heart is.

Speaker 6 But he's so good now that it's like you don't.

Speaker 1 But this is important. Like, you see the hat I'm wearing right now.
Someone says the 49ers versus the Chargers Super Bowl, the first thing that comes to my mind, Natron means business.

Speaker 6 That's it.

Speaker 6 That's what I think of right now. Who else was on that team? Chargers.
Yeah. Eric sleeping with Bienny was.
Yep. Yep.
Yep.

Speaker 1 Like, that's it. You know, you think of the

Speaker 1 classic games. It's like the nicknames just pop in your head.

Speaker 6 I think those,

Speaker 6 well,

Speaker 6 now let's go back to my hosts.

Speaker 6 One of your most genius, if that's correctly phrased, and you know the backstory, but your viewers and listeners don't know it.

Speaker 6 When you last year had, I want to brock and roll all night and purdy every day. Yeah.

Speaker 6 genius.

Speaker 6 Everyone knows the song. You're not quoting some song.

Speaker 6 What song is that? No, no, no, no. We've all heard that.
Yeah. Even whether you like kiss or not.

Speaker 6 And then

Speaker 6 we were ready to go in the championship game. And, of course, he got hurt right away.
And forget it, right? Not his fault. I had it on my fastest three minutes.

Speaker 6 You guys know this because we called you. Yeah.
I'm going to give you boys a big shout out of big viewership. Aaron Rodgers, who knew that carrying the flag was the highlight of the year.

Speaker 6 But, you know, the Jets opening up, blah, blah, blah, Buffalo. And that was at halftime.
But then when Aaron got hurt, I got cut. Because I know, even the fastest three minutes got cut.

Speaker 6 News were, I get it. And then there were a couple of games that I could only use a play or two in these things.
And then mid-season, I had Josh Krulowitz, our PRAs, call you and go,

Speaker 6 tune in. Yeah.
It's on.

Speaker 1 So I give you guys a big out of boy because that was genius it was i mean it was an honor it's like we we got i tagged in every single tweet like he did it he did it the ultimate compliment so yeah that we were ready

Speaker 1 yeah yeah made my season i didn't realize that that's funny that you were ready to go opening night and then aaron rogers no

Speaker 6 i don't i don't think joshi well i might not have because opening we you know oh my god you know

Speaker 6 that's so funny

Speaker 5 yeah it's on a cutting room floor somewhere yeah i remember we we when we had our good friend booger on we were trying to get him to tell you to use that trying to get you like an inception style like hey mention this one to boom mention this one to boom We were talking earlier about about Booger and how your relationship has grown with him Booger's a great co-host for you guys

Speaker 5 He does a fantastic job and it's not an easy job that you guys have to do you were saying you have to just sit down and then boom he gets 20 seconds per highlight clip it's like give us something good that we can work with but how how has your relationship with him grown like did you know day one me and booger we can do this

Speaker 6 Well, I had met him a little bit with Tampa, a little.

Speaker 6 So I knew of him before he even became on our SEC network and everything. And then they put him,

Speaker 6 I was a fan of his when they put him in that impossible position, the Booger Mobile. He had a smile, but it wasn't just like showboat.

Speaker 6 It was like he was seeing things, you know, where the old camera used to be when I was younger on the cart in the front and blocking the view of the fans.

Speaker 6 Like, he's come up with some good stuff, but he has no shot. Not nobody, John Madden wouldn't have had a shot, okay? To put it in perspective.

Speaker 6 So then, when we resurrected primetime for SPN Plus, which I think we talked about before, which was we can't do it on regular TV, we can for the championship and

Speaker 6 the Super Bowl, which we will, right after the right after the trophy.

Speaker 6 So don't go to sleep at 2-0.

Speaker 6 But no, you guy, man. Yeah.
You don't ever sleep. But

Speaker 6 he

Speaker 6 and Tommy, we got Tommy back. Tom Jackson is...
Come on.

Speaker 6 Who's better than Tommy? One of my best friends to this day. We talk every week or two, football and life and stuff.
And

Speaker 6 that was a blast working with him.

Speaker 6 But then he goes, boom, that's it. I came back to one year.
I'm done. And then who's going to do it? And a couple of recommendations in-house and very strongly recommended Booger.

Speaker 6 I said, my only question for him, not me, is,

Speaker 6 is there a stigma to the public?

Speaker 6 And it'll probably go away quickly, but though the Booger Mobile, that means he doesn't know what he's talking about, which would be completely false, but a legitimate question to ask.

Speaker 6 I said, I'll put that into your park. No, we think he's great at this.
I said, let's go because he's upbeat. He loved football.
He was good at it.

Speaker 6 Won two rings, which doesn't necessarily make you smarter than anyone else. But

Speaker 6 with two different teams, played with Peyton his last year with the Colts, you know, on that great Bucs defense with four Hall of Famers from the defense. Yeah.

Speaker 6 And we hit it off right away because he's not

Speaker 6 out to be, I don't want to say the star, oh, I'm the star.

Speaker 6 I don't mean that. He's not out to say things.

Speaker 6 Everybody will see that. Yeah, right.
It's not what that show is. And he's got something.

Speaker 6 Sometimes I'm a little behind on highlights. I mean, nobody's perfect.
He might have had a little 10-second thing that we were going to talk about, but I'm behind. I got to go to the next play.

Speaker 6 You don't sit there and sulk and go, well, that was the only chance to get in. The way Trent Williams is blocking, for example, right? Yeah.

Speaker 6 He's got something no matter what I ask him. He's a joy.
Tommy 2.0. Yeah.
And it hopes incredible. It helps that his name's Booger, too.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 I can't hate a guy named Booger. Boomer and Booger.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 I mean, you just change one letter. It's not really that hard.
Vanna White could do it.

Speaker 1 By the way, Jake looked it up. Since 2000, when Phil does not see his shadow, the favorites are 4-2.

Speaker 6 Oh. Against Silver.
Oh, so there's not very many. Yeah, not many.

Speaker 1 And also the not shadow. He usually sees his shadow.

Speaker 6 Oh, when he

Speaker 6 has a shadow. Shadow means you got winter.
Yep. No, not shadow.
That's spring. Spring.

Speaker 1 So that's what happened this time. But you're four and two.

Speaker 6 So if you want to go with that trend, and he went and looked it up.

Speaker 1 He did a great job. Shout out Jake.
So maybe

Speaker 1 it's the Niner. I've already said I'm done betting against Mahomes.
I've lost four futures in the last 12 years.

Speaker 6 It's over. The library.
Yeah, I can't do it.

Speaker 1 I can't. It's like you get to a point with Sabin or Belichick.

Speaker 1 You bet on a game and you have an outcome where it's like you win or lose.

Speaker 1 But when you bet on a game against Sabin or Belichick, you can lose and also feel really stupid because you bet against Sabin or Belichick.

Speaker 6 They didn't go 100%.

Speaker 6 But that's how you feel.

Speaker 1 And that's where Mahomes is now, where it's like, okay, I'd rather lose with Mahomes than lose going against Mahomes. And everyone says, how did he not bet on Mahomes?

Speaker 6 Well, he's an underdog again. I know.
I know a pointer to two as we speak. Yeah.
But

Speaker 6 they're actually, I've reminded myself, they were getting one or two last year, which was a great Super Bowl

Speaker 6 with the Eagles. Yep.
But they've been an underdog on the road of Buffalo and Baltimore. I mean, so here's the thing with him.

Speaker 6 To your point, I mean, when Tom Brady got the ball, I mean, I'm not just pointing to 28 to 3, obviously. Right.
I mean, admit,

Speaker 6 you felt you had a chance. Right.
Unless you're down 28 to 3 with two minutes to go. Unlikely.
Okay.

Speaker 6 Don't you feel good if you're on Mahomes and the game is

Speaker 6 good? Down 10, five minutes to go, not necessarily feeling good because that means Niners are playing really good defense.

Speaker 1 How about down 10 with eight minutes to go against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl?

Speaker 6 That happened. Yeah.
And Mahomes. Or Or how about down

Speaker 6 that literally happened? How about down with 13 seconds? Right, right. So, right.
Not 10,

Speaker 6 but three. Yeah.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 6 you're watching,

Speaker 6 I'm not saying a Niner play is dumb because they have all-stars at every level. We went through the offense, didn't even mention Yuschek or Ayuk.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Or third in Jawan. That's what they call him, Jawan Jennings.

Speaker 6 They call him third in Jawan. There you go.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 That's not mine. Oh, yeah, you do.

Speaker 6 And by the way, Brock Purdy, he runs pretty good in case nobody knows. Not bad, right? Yeah.

Speaker 6 In case that's a little element. And then defensively, when I'm getting back to it, Nick Bose's second half.

Speaker 6 I'm not saying where were you. I mean, he's double and triple, but we didn't see him wreck a game like a TJ Watt or like, you know, Garrett did for two-thirds of the season with Cleveland, et cetera.

Speaker 6 I'm not knocking Nick, but when is the. And we got it in the the second half.
Yeah. Now, is that what you see in the Super Bowl? Because when he's like that

Speaker 6 and Armstead and Chase Young's not looked good there, but that's not to say in 60 minutes he,

Speaker 6 you know, there it's a four-man rush, not that nobody rushes for,

Speaker 6 but they always can rely. They don't have to bring because they get pressure of like five when it's four when they're like that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Now, the Chiefs' offensive line is maybe the most underrated agreed playoffs they've been playing great even though toony's out yeah and like yeah patrick mahomes the first time he got sacked in the playoffs was second half against baltimore it's crazy like they they really are very underrated and that is it's the thing that i just can't like give the chiefs enough credit because mahomes is mahomes but the conscious decision they made when they're like all right tyree kill you're going to go to miami and we're going to invest in the offensive line and we're going to get young on the defense because this guy mahomes gives us a shot no matter who's catching balls and those guys have gotten a lot better, but it's proven this year.

Speaker 1 They're in the Super Bowl. And what was the story all year? They got no wide receivers.
Now you see Rashi Rice. And

Speaker 1 that's how you build a team around a player like Mahomes.

Speaker 6 Well, yeah, they took it to the limit a little bit. But you know, in watching them against Baltimore.

Speaker 6 By the way, Rice is now, and of course, Flowers, so that they kind of had better offensive weapons than Baltimore did, certainly in the passing game. And

Speaker 6 they were dropping stuff left and right. Like it was

Speaker 6 who can catch? Pacheco Pacheco can catch on a screen. Little McKinnon, who's hurt, can catch screens.
He's a good receiver, but that's not your until Rashi Rice.

Speaker 6 Well, he had a nice year all the way, but he came certain things.

Speaker 6 That's why Kelsey didn't get open for six weeks.

Speaker 2 I know.

Speaker 6 But all of a sudden, if Rice is working,

Speaker 6 Kelsey can get open even if they've hammered at the leg. And he knows they've been doing it his whole career.
So

Speaker 6 they don't have, and Scantling, Paldo, Scantling caught a big ball at the end, and he caught two of the week. And he's one of the more popular guys on the team.

Speaker 6 So they're like, yeah, no team is fired up for him. But that being said,

Speaker 6 so the one little curveball on the Niners, sounds like I'm all this way. I'm not, because that rush can negate a lot of things.
And Warner and Greenlaw are outstanding duh.

Speaker 6 And,

Speaker 6 you know, their DBs,

Speaker 6 they had a lot of interceptions at the end of the year. Wards had a really former chief.

Speaker 6 But they,

Speaker 6 if you look at stats, which sometimes doesn't tell the whole story. No, never do.

Speaker 6 Teams have made hay here and there.

Speaker 6 I don't mean made hay with the secondary, but that's where they go.

Speaker 5 No, you're right. Especially Green Bay.
Green Bay kind of exploited him a little bit. Yeah.
And that was a game that the Niners could have very easily lost. But yeah, Ambry Thomas, was that his name?

Speaker 5 Ambry Thomas? Yeah, Ambry Thomas. Specifically him.

Speaker 5 He's had some very shaky games. Yeah.
So that makes me a little bit different. But I do feel like Andy Reid is in love with throwing the football.

Speaker 5 I don't think he's ever going to be a guy that hands the ball off 25, 30 times a game. But Pacheco's good enough, especially in playoff weather, where Reid thinks about it now.
He's like,

Speaker 6 I should give the Ravens game.

Speaker 1 I think it was like 20, 24.

Speaker 5 Maybe I should give Pacheco the ball a little bit more,

Speaker 5 which I like from Andy, being able to adapt a little bit. Because if there's one guy I thought would never adapt to something like that, it would be Andy Reid.

Speaker 5 You know, like going back to the Brian Westbrook days and all that stuff.

Speaker 5 But it seems to me like they do have, they've got a running game that you have to account for, which is a little bit different for the Chiefs. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Well, but where did Andy, where was he? He was an offensive lineman. So even though he's a passing guru, and I call him the grandson of Bill Walsh, okay?

Speaker 6 Because I, Bill Walsh is, to me, Bill Walsh, okay?

Speaker 6 Mike Holmgren is the direct descendant. We might have discussed this once.
Direct descendant. Other people ran the West Coast, but you know what? Ooh, 10 of us are running the West Coast.

Speaker 6 Andy Reid was with Mike for those 10 years, almost 10 years in Green Bay, and kind of, that's the direct line. So, yes, he's passing, but he also was an offensive lineman.
So

Speaker 6 he's going back to his roots, and if he didn't this year late,

Speaker 6 I don't think they'd be playing in this game. Back to one thing on Chiefs that I don't know the public has under.

Speaker 6 of course, you understand it.

Speaker 6 We're seeing whether they win or lose.

Speaker 6 I mean, we know what the numbers are, but four out of five in the Super Bowl. Yeah.

Speaker 6 And De Ford doesn't step over there. They would have been in that one.
Yeah. In it, it beaten the Patriots, I mean, but he did.

Speaker 6 So the only ones that have gone four and five years to appear

Speaker 6 Buffalo, needless to say, right? Four in a row, and New England, ladder New New England, 14,

Speaker 6 16, 17, 18. So they were 3-1 in those.
This doesn't happen, especially now when you're losing,

Speaker 6 they had Tyreek Hill. Yeah.
Well, no, they don't. So

Speaker 6 this is, whether you want the Chiefs to win, you guys, to win or lose, or you wanted the Niners, whatever, appreciate that this doesn't happen. And if we get a repeat champ, it's been 19 years.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Now I'm 68.
Okay.

Speaker 6 Now, before that, it was once a decade, right? The Packers when they started the Super Bowl. And then

Speaker 6 the Steelers twice, and then the Niners, which I lived.

Speaker 6 Then, obviously, the Cowboys, and then the Patriots. Broncos.

Speaker 6 Broncos. My bad.
Yeah, yeah. My bad.
Yeah, so that was more often. I didn't mean to admit L.A.
at the end. That was unbelievable.
No, no. And they knocked out the Packers, too.

Speaker 6 The Broncos have been going through it the last five years. No, you got to give it up.
My bad. Shanahan and McGaffrey on that.

Speaker 6 But after, yeah, 03, 04,

Speaker 6 so it's 19 years.

Speaker 6 So if it doesn't happen this year, and whoever wins has a chance to repeat next year, I get it.

Speaker 6 19 plus 68 is 87. Yeah.

Speaker 6 I might not see another one.

Speaker 6 I kind of wouldn't mind seeing that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yo, you're right, though. It is crazy to think that it would happen every decade you'd get a repeat, and it's been a long time.

Speaker 6 Now, to the Northers' credit,

Speaker 6 they've been in championship game. They've had a chance to their credit these same five years.
Right. Right.

Speaker 1 And if Brock Purdy doesn't get hurt, I think

Speaker 6 the Eagles. Yeah.
Might have. Maybe.

Speaker 1 I think you're getting a free cheesesteak in Philly, but now our producer, Max, is a big Eagles fan, and he's not here today, but he is rooting very hard against the Niners because he doesn't want his NFC championship last year to be negated.

Speaker 1 It's the most ridiculous fandom thing. Like, he is.

Speaker 6 He's from Philly, right? Yeah, If the Niners, the Niners, I love them.

Speaker 6 Cindy Reeb was there, and I was tight, but

Speaker 6 Philly is

Speaker 6 more than any fan base, and I say this with full applaud.

Speaker 6 Blinders on. Yeah.
I know the college guys on my dorm. I'm like, do you not know that there's a team other than the Flyers of the NHL? Yeah.
It's in the 70s. No,

Speaker 6 you know, my God. Yeah.
It's the best, though. It is the best.

Speaker 5 It's so great. Like,

Speaker 5 they are hyper-focused on their teams, and they don't really tolerate you if you lose.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, Nick Seriotti went to a Super Bowl and they wanted him fired this year. Yeah,

Speaker 6 yeah, very close. That was it, right? And here's on TSA line leaving Phoenix last year.
A couple Philly fans, hey, great game.

Speaker 6 You know, you're standing on line with perfect strangers for 45 minutes, so might as well, they know who I am. They're all at the game, right?

Speaker 6 I said, Your quarterback played great. Just making conversations.

Speaker 6 Yeah, but that fumble.

Speaker 6 That's it. That's really.
Yes, the fumble. It was big, but just,

Speaker 6 he played great. Big compliment.
But it was like, he fumble, I don't know, you know, it was like, have a good flight.

Speaker 15 Ball's here. Kids are back in school.
Vacations are over. And cozy season is officially on.
You know what that means? Bombus season is on. Bombus makes the most comfortable socks ever.

Speaker 6 All right, so this is 42.

Speaker 1 42 straight Super Bowls?

Speaker 9 This is your 42nd Super Bowl?

Speaker 6 I started with the Niners' first one at Super Bowl 16. It's a Silver Dome.
So that's 42. Yeah.
I missed one at full leg cast once upon a time. Yeah.
I missed the Packers winning with

Speaker 6 so 41. Yeah.
Yeah, 41st Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's incredible just in itself.

Speaker 6 I

Speaker 6 am lucky to be in that position. Yeah.
I mean,

Speaker 6 ESPN, I mean,

Speaker 6 like we discussed, who knew? I mean, you guys started the show eight years ago.

Speaker 6 Yeah, we have a dream or a vision or this, and then we got some backing.

Speaker 6 But yeah, now, look, you have, you said we just pick up basketball, and I walked on the court and I thought I was in like an NBA court.

Speaker 6 So,

Speaker 6 yeah,

Speaker 6 I have to pinch myself now that you say that. I mean, I do think of it when I go.
I still remember the first one, like, oh, my God, I'm at the Super Bowl. You know, you're a kid.

Speaker 6 I mean, I'm really in my 20s.

Speaker 6 And the people that you've met that, you know, the game that we all in this show loves and those that that listen and watch,

Speaker 6 they love,

Speaker 6 they get to go to that and

Speaker 6 really be down there and feel and touch it and interview the players and the coaches and

Speaker 6 make some observations that maybe are okay or just maybe like, whoa, be like a fan. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's incredible because that's, and what you just described, I think, is why people are drawn to you and football and how you tell the game because I think that that like boyhood wonder, if you lose it, that's the problem.

Speaker 1 Like I know myself, and I think I'm speaking for PFT, like the fact that you're here right now, I want to pinch myself.

Speaker 1 And so like having that though, be like, whoa, this is pretty damn cool that we get to do this for a living. If you lose that, then you probably lose your fans.

Speaker 6 Well, you're acting. Yeah.
Yeah. Probably acting to continue, not you.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 One's acting if they're continuing. If your biggest calling card is a fan.

Speaker 6 Everyone's a fan who does sports. Bobbly, totally different than me.
Complete respect. But you wouldn't say fan, he likes it, but he's rapport.

Speaker 6 But if you're a fan, like you guys obviously are, and you're still doing your shows, and you're kind of losing it a little,

Speaker 6 the fandom, it's going to seep through a little bit. Yeah.
Those are watching carefully. Not that they're looking for it.

Speaker 1 No, it's true. I didn't go to sleep last night because Wisconsin

Speaker 1 blew a 17-point lead at Nebraska. And I said, I'm going to sleep at 10 o'clock.
And then at 11.30, I was like, just kidding, I'm not asleep. I'm still mad.

Speaker 5 I still got got it. I would actually say that

Speaker 5 I've gotten to be a bigger fan since we started doing the show. Really? Because you pay attention more.
Now it's like,

Speaker 5 we watch every second of every game. Yeah.
And it's actually just making us, I don't know. That's the way that I feel.
I do too.

Speaker 6 I feel more about it now.

Speaker 1 And you feel, it's also like people. People ride with you.
People, you know, give you shit when your team loses. So it's like the stakes have gotten higher for us at times.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 1 It really. It used to suck to lose, but at least it's like, all right, I'll just go to work the next day and not have to deal with.

Speaker 8 Well, now it's like I lose.

Speaker 1 I have Nebraska basketball doing memes in my face, and I'm like, well, this hurts.

Speaker 6 And everyone just talks about it. That was why you had hay out there.
Yeah, right.

Speaker 5 It's also like, if you lose, I know that there's a lot of people, a lot of sickos that listen to the show that like to hear us when we're in pain. And granted, like, that's what this is sometimes.

Speaker 5 It's like, okay, you listen to this podcast. Sometimes hearing misery is more fun than hearing joy if you're not experiencing that joy.

Speaker 5 And so now every time I have a chance to experience joy, it's like you get that me against the world mentality a little bit where you're like, okay, all right, let's see if we can do this.

Speaker 5 And also, I'm thinking out loud here, but the fact that now Dan Snyder is no longer the owner of the Commanders means that I can actually like full on invest in the team.

Speaker 5 So I think I can definitely say that I'm way more of a fan now than I was eight years ago. And it's kind of cool.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Well, because you're dialed, yes, because the job makes you dialed in a little bit more, but you haven't lost the reason you dialed in in the first place. Right.
Right. No, I'm...
look.

Speaker 6 And to do it the other way, look, I'm um

Speaker 6 you're doing me a favor, not that nobody knows who I I don't get on T V so that people know who I am. I mean, if you do that, then again, that'll that won't work after a while.

Speaker 6 But, you know, you're bringing different age group who well, they see me, but

Speaker 6 the fact that you you give me an out-of-boy, it it it's good for me too. Thank you.

Speaker 5 I would say that you and John Madden are probably the two biggest football influences of my life. You mentioned him earlier.
Did you, I assume that you got to hang out with him a fairly long time.

Speaker 6 Not hang, but we were friendly, of course. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Not

Speaker 6 because ABC has, it's not like I rode on the bus or anything like that, but

Speaker 6 he made it the most.

Speaker 6 He's a guy that coached and won Super Bowls and coached against

Speaker 6 Noel and Shula. And you think of the AFC in those days and my God,

Speaker 6 just the AFC, that let alone okay now you're you're you're in the super bowl against bud grant or whatever but to make it understandable to everybody but to be a football coach i mean we're announcers okay we're speaking we're not coming from looking at film at 11 p.m looking for that one little

Speaker 6 thing and then trying to articulate it to people that aren't really football fans.

Speaker 6 That's how great John was. And he

Speaker 6 just a basic guy. He never changed.
I was lucky to know him. I didn't hang out with him so much, not because I didn't want to.

Speaker 6 But yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, listen, I know that people are probably like, you guys are all just jerking each other off right now.

Speaker 1 What I wanted to go back to just a point about how, you know, having you on, you know, the younger audience, but that to me is like a no-brainer because you were our guy when we were growing up.

Speaker 1 And hopefully someday when we're, you know, 68 years old, there's a new show that's like, oh, we want these guys on, these old guys on, and you know, we listened to you when you were growing up.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 6 you're already sowing those seeds. No, but it's the truth.
You know, it's like

Speaker 1 you were watching Countdown and watching, you know, it was just the best.

Speaker 6 Well, here's the thing on primetime, and then we'll get off because you said we're doing this to each other. Nobody wants to leave against me.
No, there might be a lot of people. But

Speaker 1 the thing is, I'll listen back to it.

Speaker 6 Primetime, for the younger, the real younger,

Speaker 6 you only got three games on TV on a screen. Right, right.
I mean, I know that sounds Neanderthal. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 And there's no yellow line.

Speaker 6 I think about that all the time. By the way, with the Eagles, I thought nine yards they should have put a green line.
Yeah, that's a good point.

Speaker 6 You know, the brotherly shove line. Yes.
Because that's all they have to get to. Yeah.
Although

Speaker 6 an aside,

Speaker 6 that summed up their season. They didn't get it against the Bucs, and they got tackled for a safety.

Speaker 6 And there you go, we're done.

Speaker 6 But I didn't mean to. But

Speaker 6 prime time. So

Speaker 6 Seattle 48, Arizona 45. And

Speaker 6 2000.

Speaker 6 Even

Speaker 6 2005.

Speaker 6 We don't see anything except when they cut in at halftime. We saw the one bomb to whoever was playing at the time.

Speaker 6 Well, here's five minutes on primetime. So if you liked football, not because it was me, not because it was Tommy, I'd watch the show show as long as it was well done, highlight-wise, music.

Speaker 6 Well, you don't need the music, but it's fun. And the fact that maybe we added and made some football fans along the way, but there were 11 games you never saw.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 So it was, now it's hard for anybody to understand that.

Speaker 1 And even, yeah, like 05-06, I remember

Speaker 1 I had Ladanian Tomlinson on my fantasy team, won every single game, and I'd be like, well, now I just want to watch and see all the, I know he scored four touchdowns. Let me watch Boom.

Speaker 1 Show me the four touchdowns.

Speaker 6 Right, because the Chargers. Let's relive it.
Yeah. Yeah.
It'd be awesome. Yeah.
Now it was fun. Here's another little bit of research that I stumbled on for this game.

Speaker 6 A guy, Mark Franklin, who's cut my Swamis the last. Well, I don't do that anymore, but he still cuts my fastest three minutes.

Speaker 6 He's a great, does a great job. So we're walking out after we did the Pro Bowl.
You know, it's on this week, and I did the great Pro Bowl plays of the year, but whatever.

Speaker 6 He goes, you know,

Speaker 6 we're talking about the election. I'm picking a side, you know, real quick.
This is, you know, midnight or 11 o'clock, Friday, Sunday night.

Speaker 6 He goes, so we're going to, you know, the Chiefs Niners was the Super Bowl before the last

Speaker 6 Biden Trump. Yep.
Yep. This is not a Democratic or Republican congression at all.
Yeah. And Chiefs-Niners is before the next one, presumed.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 I'm an American history major, doesn't make me an expert, but, oh.

Speaker 6 He goes, I wonder if there was anything else. And off the top of my head, I said, well, the only one that I can think of, champion, let's go championship games because Super Bowl forget it.

Speaker 6 I knew right away, I said, FDR beat Adlai Stevenson. Not FDR, you beat Eisenhower.
Yeah. Adlai Stevenson twice.
Stevenson did not cover in either of those.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 6 But that was 52 and 56.

Speaker 6 So I, the next morning, I looked up in my white book. I went, uh-oh, 1951 and 1955, not that this is like kind of minutia, but

Speaker 6 the L.A. Rams played the Cleveland Browns, Norm Van Brockland against Otto Graham both times, although Bob Waterfield started for the Rams, both at the L.A.

Speaker 6 Coliseum, 80,000 people, so it wasn't like, eh. Yeah.
They split. Now, I don't know that that...
tells us anything about the election, the Super Bowl, but 51 and 55,

Speaker 6 L.A. Rams, Cleveland Browns.

Speaker 6 This is a bit of information

Speaker 6 that your show could use.

Speaker 6 It doesn't predict anything, like the pumps of Tony Phil. I don't know.

Speaker 6 I just took the time to look it up and it was fun. I like it.

Speaker 1 Was there any other ones? No. And when you say when you looked it up in the white book, do you just have a book?

Speaker 6 NFL, the old NFL book. So not the internet.

Speaker 6 You could do that just as I know where to go in the white book. I think it was even like...
I love it. Well, I needed the 50, so I was in my basement.
I don't think I had

Speaker 6 the book from like five years ago. I love it.
I love it. No, I know where to go.
It takes a minute. Yeah.
Because it's actually, it's got more, you don't have to scroll.

Speaker 6 Yeah, you got it right to the page out.

Speaker 5 It's kind of nice. Yeah, I think Wilbon puts it the right way.
Getting some ink under your fingernails. Sometimes it's nice to do that, not have to go on your phone or online to do it.

Speaker 5 You are a historian of the game, obviously. You've seen a lot of football.
You've been around a lot of big games. I think we'd be remiss if we didn't ask you:

Speaker 5 is Taylor Swift good for football?

Speaker 6 Absolutely. And I'll tell you why.

Speaker 6 Because I'm a little oblivious to it. Not oblivious.
I get it. I mean, should the networks, you're not asking me, should they show her every time Travis Kelsey catches the ball? Not necessarily.

Speaker 6 First of all, I think I've never met her.

Speaker 6 I think she's legitimate. I'm in my mid-30s.
I'm cheering on my guy, and I'm having fun at the game. So if you just take it from that part, I think that's pretty, that's legitimate.
I do.

Speaker 6 Maybe you guys don't think so. I think so.
I don't think she's there to be.

Speaker 6 I mean, she fills the stadium of 80,000, so it's not, oh, I need to be seen again. Right.

Speaker 6 I think anyone that thinks that's wrong, I don't know that.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 6 only this last week or two, my haircut, young lady at the bank. You know,

Speaker 6 so who's your team? You know, I'm making conversation with one lady's or the Steelers. I know she likes the Steelers, whatever.
She's a young thing, 24.

Speaker 6 She goes, I never watched football until this year, but I found I really like the game, but I only watching because I want to see what Taylor Swift.

Speaker 6 So, I'll boil it this way. And you can go wherever you want with it.

Speaker 6 That was like I heard it twice in a day, getting haircut and in a bank and going,

Speaker 6 anything that makes somebody a pro football fan from nothing

Speaker 5 can't be all bad yeah that's fair to show the game i mean you may not agree what do you guys think no yeah i think you've talked about it yeah i think that's fair i think that we're we're getting more of a backlash to her but it's because the chiefs keep winning and she's if you're if you're a ravens fan and you're watching the chiefs and you're losing you're gonna find something about that broadcast that you're gonna direct all your anger at and you're gonna hate right if that's tony romo tony romo hates us if it's the refs the refs hate us if it's one commercial you don't like, be like, I can't stand this commercial.

Speaker 5 We've got actually a guy who's a big Mets and Dolphins fan that works here, and he is an expert in that.

Speaker 5 He'll be watching a Mets game, and then Buster Only will pop up, and he'll be like, Buster Only hates my team. Boom.
Now that's the enemy that I can turn against.

Speaker 5 So the Chiefs keep beating all these teams, and there's more and more fan bases that have to watch the Chiefs beat their team. And then every time they score, there's Taylor Swift.

Speaker 5 So I think that's where more of the backlash is coming from. But I mean, we're guys.
We watch football and TV, and you have to find something to complain about, right?

Speaker 5 Like, there's always something that you have to. It's not my team's fault.
It's this person's fault that it's happening. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Which I get. I get it.

Speaker 6 I mean, it's not fair to pin her like what she's doing it to put a kibosh on my team, obviously. I mean, that's, I get it.
But I think it's,

Speaker 6 you're right. If the Chiefs were eight and nine.

Speaker 6 Well, you wouldn't be seeing her now anyway. Yeah.
So true.

Speaker 6 And I assume I have no idea that she's, what, in Tokyo Saturday? Yes, she's going to be flying all the way back. Flying over, because remember, that's like 16 hours ahead.
Yep.

Speaker 1 They did the math. I think she gets to land at like noon on Super Bowl Sunday in Vegas.

Speaker 6 Yeah, and probably a plane you can sleep on. Yeah, probably.

Speaker 1 I would say she's not going to think of it.

Speaker 6 I don't think it's the Wright brothers. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah. And then what's her next show? Like Seoul on Tuesday night? Like, I don't know.
Yeah. That'd be fascinating.
Yeah. Which reminds me of

Speaker 6 non-football, but

Speaker 6 my favorite times of flight like that.

Speaker 6 the

Speaker 6 start of the century, the last, you know, January 31st, 1999, Elton John does a concert in Sydney, I believe,

Speaker 6 70,000.

Speaker 6 He flies to Honolulu,

Speaker 6 does another New Year's Eve concert in Aloha Stadium, another 50,000. Two shows the same night, but he flew to the two.
That's a good one. That's pretty cool.
That's pretty cool. There you go.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I got a non-football question that just popped in my head.

Speaker 2 Do you still write checks?

Speaker 6 Oh, yeah. I love that.

Speaker 6 Internet, if I can avoid it, I avoid it. I'm a 20th century guy.
How do you do it at the end?

Speaker 8 And I'm a tourist.

Speaker 1 You don't do it at the grocery store and stuff like that.

Speaker 6 Okay, all right.

Speaker 6 That would hold up the line. Yeah, right, right.

Speaker 6 Just be considerate of, you know, especially if you only have like eight items. Yeah.
Right? Like in that line. Oh, come on.
Are you ripping checks still every now and then? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 Like Pizza Guy. Yeah.

Speaker 5 You ever red checked the Pizza Guy?

Speaker 6 No, no, I don't do those. Red check to pay my bills.
Yeah, yeah. Not checks like, here you go.

Speaker 1 Old-fashioned stamp.

Speaker 6 No, you sit down. Yeah.
Lick it. Stamps.
Put it out. Hey, forever, you can make a good buy.
Well, now they went up again New Year's Day. What are they at?

Speaker 6 I think if you bought the forevers, don't quote me. Could they be 68 cents now? Oh, wow.
That's way more than five. I mean, I probably had somebody.

Speaker 1 So you have the forever stamps?

Speaker 6 Well, that's what you buy. Yeah, yeah.
So if you buy

Speaker 6 20 books at a time, well, I don't, if it's like 10 books at a time, they don't last that long. But if you bought them going out of business sale right before New Year's Day,

Speaker 6 you save five cents a stamp or whatever.

Speaker 6 Try to do that on the stock market. Yeah, yeah.
I like it.

Speaker 6 I'm happy. No, no, no.
I pay my bills that way. I don't go to any store with a checkbook.
But you could if you had. No, no.
You always have a couple in your wallet. Yeah.
One of them. Your wallet.

Speaker 6 One of them, many, many, many, many. Your wallet actually is looking a little slim.
Well, you know,

Speaker 6 I realize you can't walk around with that anymore. I was a little shocked because, you know,

Speaker 1 it shouldn't shock anyone. Boom, great tipper.
He tipped the car service that brought him here, and he pulled out his wallet.

Speaker 6 And I was like, damn, your wallet looks like it went on a diet.

Speaker 6 It's not. It did go on a diet.

Speaker 6 It needed to.

Speaker 6 I mean, there's things flying out of there that, you know, cards from like 25 years ago. But that was a while.
I weeded that out a while.

Speaker 6 Right checks, thinner wallet. I'm catching on.
It's only 2024.

Speaker 6 We've only been a quarter of this century.

Speaker 6 I'll catch on soon. Yeah, I appreciate that about you.

Speaker 5 You know, you know what you can do. You know what you like to do.
You know who you are, and

Speaker 5 you're going to stick with it. And you're a Bills fan, amongst other things.
And

Speaker 5 this year was

Speaker 5 this is painful for the Bills. You've seen a lot of Bills' seasons, a lot of Bills' heartache.

Speaker 5 Where would you put the end of this one up against, you know, the late 80s, early 90s, all the stuff they've been through?

Speaker 6 Well,

Speaker 6 they have an unbelievably resilient fan base because they've been, well, there was a time they weren't very good, but they

Speaker 6 mean, I heard from several of them texting right away like,

Speaker 6 well, we still got a Bill Leave.

Speaker 6 Now, it wasn't the Super Bowl, but it was wide right, and I know Jim had to say it.

Speaker 6 On primetime, I even lowered my voice. I went,

Speaker 6 I just can't even say this.

Speaker 6 Wide right. And, you know, and then they had asked me, you want us to show the Norwood? No, do not.
No, we're not showing that. Not right anyway.

Speaker 6 Yeah, because

Speaker 6 they came on so, I mean,

Speaker 6 another circuitous route, like Chiefs. Six and six, but then they don't lose a game.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And they win the East.

Speaker 6 They look really good.

Speaker 6 The good news is for them, so where does it rank?

Speaker 6 I mean, Super Bowls are the Super Bowls, but I mean, did that rank?

Speaker 6 It's always the Chiefs, right? That 13 second to bring it to the modern, the current era. Oh, them again.

Speaker 6 So the Chiefs, inadvertently, to the Buffalo fan, have become the Patriots.

Speaker 6 The one or two times that they could beat Tom Brady in there, Fitzy beat him in

Speaker 6 2011.

Speaker 6 There are people, like the campers are still in the parking lot on Tuesday, like people still drinking. Okay.

Speaker 6 I love it.

Speaker 6 But so the Chiefs, not a division rival, but boy, they play because now you're first place, so you're, well, you play all the time, and then often in the playoffs.

Speaker 6 The fact that it was the Chiefs again twisted the knife a little more than, oh, we were wide right of making it up to the Ravens, okay?

Speaker 6 But

Speaker 6 you got the Super Bowls and you got 13 seconds, but this falls right behind. And it's again, it can be another long winter up there.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 And I feel for them because as long as they have Josh Allen, they got a good shot. I know.
The window is not closing on the Bills.

Speaker 6 That's foolish to say. Now, will they be able to keep who we think are a lot of their best players,

Speaker 6 Diggs or others? I don't know. But you guys know

Speaker 6 top some players or bottom 10 players, your roster changes a fourth to a third. Yeah, it just does.

Speaker 5 Yeah, the Bills are going to lose a lot of guys, but I think a lot of them are. You've got some older guys that are leaving.
They'll figure out a way. You're right.

Speaker 5 If they have Josh, they're going to be in position to win big games. Yes.
By the way, Scott Norwood from, from, well, I forget. Go ahead.
James Madison.

Speaker 6 That's right, Eddie. Yeah, there we go.
Scottie's a friend. I mean, you know, and

Speaker 6 I know all those guys.

Speaker 1 It's just, they'll get one eventually, you think.

Speaker 6 Although

Speaker 6 you got Mahomes. I know, Burroughs.
Here's Jim Harbaugh in the Super Space. I know.
Not that that makes them. No, but he's not playing quarterback, but it makes him

Speaker 6 better. Aiden Herbert.

Speaker 1 If Josh Allen was in the NFC, he'd probably have been in the Super Bowl by now.

Speaker 6 I would think so. Yeah.
And it's just.

Speaker 6 The Niners are. Yeah.
Philly had one year. Yeah.
He won. One year.
If you think about it.

Speaker 6 You know,

Speaker 1 the Rams, obviously, that was a great year, but still, it's just, it is a lot of circumstance of who you're in the conference with.

Speaker 6 Yeah, here's, yeah. I mean, the AFC, the best quarterbacks in football,

Speaker 6 well, aren't they all there? Yeah, they are. I mean, in Lamar, we can debate where you put him, but he's certainly capable of wrecking a game.

Speaker 6 Now, what the Chiefs and how they stopped him or how the Ravens didn't kind of

Speaker 6 stay the Ravens.

Speaker 6 I do have one theory on that one. And again,

Speaker 6 they were only down 10 and then 7. That's not.

Speaker 6 They weren't down all year. I know.

Speaker 6 That doesn't mean, oh, we can't possibly come back from seven points. Of course.
You have Lamar Jackson could run 50 yards.

Speaker 6 By the way, middle of the third quarter, do you know he was still the second leading receiver on the team, the Pennsylvania caught? Yeah, yeah. Second leading receiver.
Crazy. But

Speaker 6 they hadn't called. I'm not on Monkin.
I'm not on anything. I don't know.
They hadn't been in that position even

Speaker 6 10 and 7 in the middle of the third quarter, which is not panic. Right.

Speaker 6 It's not like it, so they didn't, you can't do that in walkthrough. I think they led with four minutes to go or didn't trail.
Is that true?

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, they lost to the Colts in overtime. They lost that game against the Browns where they're up 14, I believe, in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 And they lost that game to the Steelers where they dropped every pass and they were up in the second half.

Speaker 6 So, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 That game pressure matters. And it actually goes back to the Niners where they kind of had that as their bugaboo.
Like, hey, they can kill you. They can step on your throat.

Speaker 1 But can they come back from behind? And then they've done it twice in the playoffs.

Speaker 6 Give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 17 Sebastian Maniscalco's new stand-up special, It Ain't Right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st.

Speaker 6 30 years ago, Jeff Bezos, complete nerd. Bezos now ripped to shreds on his super yacht, and the boxes keep

Speaker 6 coming.

Speaker 17 Sebastian Manascalco, It Ain't Right. Premieres November 21st, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers.

Speaker 6 Terms apply.

Speaker 6 Let me ask you guys one question. I'll get your opinion on it, as I'm not sure it's fair to even.

Speaker 6 The Niners were rolling. I know they lost a three, but then they rolled.

Speaker 6 They crushed a lot of teams, starting with Jacksonville, et cetera. When the Ravens went out there again on Christmas, the same as the Chiefs' Day, which is kind of an interesting,

Speaker 6 I don't think that's not to say they can't win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 6 They haven't looked the same. I know they crushed Washington after that, but it's Washington.
Okay. I mean, they had to have it.
It was on the road. I get it.

Speaker 6 They haven't looked like that team we saw from the middle of November to.

Speaker 6 I'm not making that as a point, so therefore they're not going to. Do you agree?

Speaker 6 Not bad, but there's something not quite.

Speaker 1 I agree, but it might actually work in their benefit. You're right.
Because it might be a situation where they got a little humbled and they know that, like, hey, we can get beat by anyone anytime.

Speaker 1 So, you know, the Packers game, the Lions game. Now,

Speaker 1 if you tell me that they're down 17 to Mahomes in the Super Bowl, I don't think they're coming back.

Speaker 6 That's a little different. But they might have a little bit more of a, hey, we can come back from these.

Speaker 1 We don't have to be, you know, just killing a team right away. Maybe.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 That's why they play the game. It's the best.

Speaker 5 I think it's been good for Kyle. It's been good for Kyle to see that he can do that because he had the reputation of not being able to play from behind.

Speaker 5 And now it's the narrative, I think, after winning two in a row in the playoffs that way,

Speaker 5 I feel like that's a little, I don't know if it's pressure off his back, but he has confidence to know that they could possibly come back. Right.

Speaker 6 And the players have lived it too. Correct.
Yeah, because twice now.

Speaker 5 If you're steamrolling everybody, if we're talking about the Niners that we saw earlier this year where it's the second quarter and the other team is just physically giving up, if you're doing that and then you get behind in the Super Bowl, you're like, well, what the hell is going on?

Speaker 5 How do we do this?

Speaker 5 This is not supposed to be happening to us. But now it's like, okay, we've been there.
We can do it. I actually agree with Big Kat.

Speaker 5 I think it might be a good thing because they still have all the talent that they had before. It's just, okay, they're not stomping everybody.
That's not the worst thing sometimes.

Speaker 6 No, you're right. It's going to be a tight game.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 All right. Tough question.

Speaker 1 You know, you mentioned 68. You've been doing this for a very long time.

Speaker 1 When your time does pass, you say, you know, I'm retiring officially.

Speaker 1 What do you want the fans to remember Chris Berman for?

Speaker 6 Very tough question. I'll spell my name correctly.
We'll start with that.

Speaker 6 That

Speaker 6 I, meaning the fan, I enjoyed getting my football or my sports from him and his station, not so much as me. That, I mean, no one's going to really remember

Speaker 6 the first 10 years by that time, you know?

Speaker 6 So when we were everyone's underdog. I mean, that was real.
That was really cool being an underdog with these guys. And I like, Al Davis said, I love you because you're the underdog.

Speaker 6 You know, he told me that one.

Speaker 6 Typical Al. I mean, it was like 82.
You're the underdog. Like that.
Like, oh, I never, that's pretty cool. I'd like, I'd like them to say, I really enjoyed watching football or baseball or

Speaker 6 again,

Speaker 6 I enjoyed, I felt I was with a friend maybe watching

Speaker 6 a game or a show or primetime or name any other of them with him and his station.

Speaker 6 I felt comfortable doing it.

Speaker 6 Not so much, oh, he educated me.

Speaker 6 I mean, you know, people have forgotten more football than I'll ever know. I've seen a lot, but don't ask me what I had for breakfast.
Right. Although Donnie cooked me a great lunch.
Yes, he did. So

Speaker 6 I think it's that simple.

Speaker 6 Did he come across as a a good guy? I'd like to think so, but for the viewer, it's more important.

Speaker 6 Did we do what we were supposed to do? Did we do it,

Speaker 6 I don't want to say pure, but pretty purely, which is not a word. So

Speaker 6 I think that encompasses it. Because any deeper than that,

Speaker 6 I don't know that anybody would take the time

Speaker 6 to get deeper than that.

Speaker 6 Well, it's pretty deep.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, I think it's really as simple as, did he make sports fun? And the answer is yes. And sports are supposed to be fun.
And we've talked about this off-air, too.

Speaker 1 Like, sports are supposed to be fun. That's what we try to always do here.
That's what you always did. And it's like,

Speaker 1 that's what we tune in for.

Speaker 6 We want to have fun.

Speaker 1 And we want to, it's an escape from everyone's, everyone's going through shit in their life. We sit down on Sunday, we watch football.
We kind of get an escape from it. We enjoy it.

Speaker 1 And did they make it fun?

Speaker 6 And you did. Well,

Speaker 6 I hope so. I mean, that would be

Speaker 6 how I'd like to be remembered. You know, I'd like our shows to be, our station to be remembered.
I mean, you may, people may have an opinion of where we are and where we were.

Speaker 6 And this, I'm not getting there. It just, yeah, I feel comfortable watching and made it fun.
I probably should have come out with that. I had a guy that does some serious surgery.

Speaker 6 This is like 15 years ago, tell me, you know,

Speaker 6 what you do is important on Sundays. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 6 That's a great. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
That's a great surgeon. Not quite.

Speaker 6 Not quite.

Speaker 6 But whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Bob.
I've known him. Our kids grew up together with it.
Bob, I mean, he liver transplant. I mean, that kind of stuff.

Speaker 6 No.

Speaker 6 What you do is really important.

Speaker 6 And he stopped me. He goes, yeah, okay,

Speaker 6 it is.

Speaker 6 But on Sunday, maybe I can put my head somewhere else, and I'm not the only one. and get out of that for even if it's six hours a week

Speaker 6 and maybe it makes me do a better job on Monday for someone who needs it. I went, okay, now I'll allow that answer.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, you're right, because I always feel when people give, when people say that to us, I have the same reaction where I'm like, listen, we're, we're idiots.

Speaker 6 We're talking about sports.

Speaker 1 We're not doing anything, but it means something to people. And

Speaker 1 you have to realize that and realize that it is important because people need that escape.

Speaker 4 It's a great compliment to get.

Speaker 1 It always makes me feel so great when you say that.

Speaker 6 I'm going through a tough time.

Speaker 1 You guys talking about sports has helped me a little bit. And like that's the best feeling in the world when I get those.

Speaker 6 And you guys get like each one of these gets maybe a million. I mean, at some point, it lives up there for perpetuity, right? Kind of like the stuff in my wallet, right?

Speaker 5 I try not to think about a million people.

Speaker 6 Well, I read that freaking out, yeah. Like a million people, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 Isn't it fun, like being in one because people go, Do you ever get nervous going on TV? I went, Well,

Speaker 6 I'm looking in a if it's a studio show, looking in a lens, I'm looking at not a particular person, but a friend of mine, nobody in particular.

Speaker 6 Talk with them or to them, not at them.

Speaker 6 But

Speaker 6 we can't think of a million. If I sat and thought there were a million people in that lens, I probably would have cracked up long ago.
Right. Yeah.

Speaker 5 Hank and I did a little bit of stand-up on Wednesday of this week, and I think there were like 800 people.

Speaker 6 How many people are there? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, 600.
Live audience.

Speaker 5 Live audience. And that to me was way more difficult than this.
This, it's like I'm hanging out with my friends, we're talking ball. Yeah, there happens to be a microphone here.

Speaker 5 I am aware that people listen to it, and we'll say things about that show later on, but seeing the people face to face,

Speaker 5 it's a different ballgame. So, I can't think about a million people listening to this show.

Speaker 6 Standing up comedy, that's the toughest.

Speaker 5 Yeah, Hank did a great job. He's so funny.

Speaker 6 Oh, I know, but I wonder, and I played

Speaker 6 you ask ask a community, supposing the audience it's a rough one, or not like rough like necessarily, but your first two or three jokes don't go anywhere. Yeah.

Speaker 6 And you already hear shuffling of the feet.

Speaker 6 Now what? Yeah. You fast forward to the guarantee, but then you get nothing at the end.
Yeah. Like, what do you, I mean, there's a few that you know are going to work, but

Speaker 6 you're working toward. And I don't know that anyone had, I forget the exact answer.

Speaker 6 Yeah, you got to trust yourself in this and that, but

Speaker 6 to size up the room, what do you think they want to hear? I don't know. So what I'm saying is that's ultimate respect when you're, or live theater.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Now, again, that's not a stand-up comedy, but, oh, God, I forgot my line. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 I total respect for that. Yeah.

Speaker 5 Going back to what we were talking about earlier about how, like, the small things and the routine matters to people sometimes.

Speaker 5 I don't know. Are you a Warren Zvon fan? I think you are.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 5 So he had a great line. I think this is when he had mesothelioma, and he was was on David Letterman's show.

Speaker 5 And he said, the thing that has come into perspective for him at this point is enjoy every sandwich. Like the small stuff.

Speaker 5 Like really dive in and let yourself enjoy the small parts of your routine in life. And that's what's going to be important to you.
And whatever that is, like that's that's great.

Speaker 5 So I think about that sometimes. If the mundane tasks every day are like, okay, I'm just going through the motions about something.
No, like enjoy every single

Speaker 5 small part. Enjoy every sandwich.
So I think about that all the time.

Speaker 6 Very good. No, he

Speaker 6 werewolves of London. I mean Sando Bar.
Matt Blundin was werewolves of Blondin. Right.

Speaker 1 All right, so boom, this has been incredible.

Speaker 16 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 16 Only one Reese's peanut butter lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 16 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 16 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 1 Give us the Super Bowl score and make it a swami.

Speaker 6 No, no, okay,

Speaker 6 because this is

Speaker 6 coming in today because it's still as we tape it, it's like the week where, okay,

Speaker 6 I'm not operating on anybody this week. I don't have, but I said I better come up with a score here.
So

Speaker 6 I think

Speaker 6 the Chiefs repeat. Okay.

Speaker 6 23-20.

Speaker 6 Okay, that's not a Schwami. Let's fix that a little.

Speaker 6 Oh, you want a humorous. 25-22? Oh, no, okay, oh, okay.
All right. But let me give you a reason.

Speaker 6 I did pick a couple of three to two games. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
And I did have a 75-72 score once. I mean, I remember the.

Speaker 6 So 23-20 is what you'll probably read if I ever, you know, I have to write something for

Speaker 6 ESPN, you know, what have you. Yep.

Speaker 1 The first time I ever realized what gambling was when I saw that little arrow pointed, I was like, why is that?

Speaker 6 The team lost. Why do they have the arrow? And I was like, oh.
Educating our youth.

Speaker 6 Corrupting our youth. They covered the spread.

Speaker 6 Okay. Well, 25-22.
But the only reason I'm not an over-under player at all. Yeah.
I never have been. Although I was cognizant, but if I was a score right, and that would be, what is it, like 47?

Speaker 1 Yeah, 47.

Speaker 6 See, so you can't do 25-22, although you can. I never worried about that.
That meant I had no opinion on that, which sometimes you don't have an opinion. All right, so

Speaker 6 like you want someone to win the Super Bowl square with some bizarre numbers. Yes, yes.
I get it. Okay.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 6 22 18 18 oh i like that that's how do you get to 18

Speaker 6 i mean there's six you could kick a lot of field goals you could get to 18 if you if you two point conversions and safety if you go touchdown

Speaker 5 15 and three yeah i could see a touchdown field goal and then that team's behind and they're behind by 14 points they score a touchdown they go for two they get it 18 then they never get the ball back yeah right i like it 22 18.

Speaker 6 that's better i mean at 23 20 was just the same ballpark. I mean, 22-18, I have them winning.
Although my niner roots and my niner fans will go, why?

Speaker 6 But it's Mahomes, and I'd like to see a repeat champ, and I just hope people recognize what they're watching. This is really,

Speaker 6 this is really pretty. These are the Patriots more like.
I don't want to say more likable. It sounds stupid, but to a lot of the folks, maybe that's part of the Taylor Swift question, right?

Speaker 6 Oh, I don't like the Chiefs. They're beating my team.
But

Speaker 6 they're

Speaker 6 more likable is not fair to say because I love those teams. Yeah.
I know them all.

Speaker 6 But

Speaker 6 if you have a problem watching him play quarterback, you have a problem watching football. That's true.

Speaker 6 By the way, you don't have to root for him. Yeah.
But don't appreciate Greenwich.

Speaker 6 No, stop it. So now you watch the Niners run their offense like they can.

Speaker 6 That's pretty cool, too. So two classic franchises with Chiefs recently and the Niners all time.

Speaker 6 2218, you got me. I like it.

Speaker 6 I love it.

Speaker 6 It was a

Speaker 6 serious.

Speaker 6 Oh, by the way, I should go back to the original because there's a reason, and you'll like this.

Speaker 6 Why I called you Legrand Shah and you were Le Raconteur. Because that's when Andres Galarraga played in Montreal.
He was the big cat. And

Speaker 6 here we have we're looking at one and we're looking at the commenter. Well, Legrand Grand Shat, when he played for the Expos, that's what they called him.

Speaker 6 He did a homer law, Le Cirque Le Grand Shat, you know, and Le Roc Hon Tour is a storyteller.

Speaker 6 And the reason I bring up the French, because you guys are golf fans, we had a guy from France win last week at San Diego. Yep.

Speaker 6 And for football,

Speaker 6 Les Alouette won the Grey Cup. Oh, big upset.

Speaker 6 Big upset of the Les Bomber Bleu. They beat Winnipeg.
So

Speaker 6 it's fitting this year

Speaker 6 to do a little merci to you guys for having me in here. Quite a digs, you got.
Yeah. Well, thank you.

Speaker 1 It's our favorite tradition. Can you end us with a whoop?

Speaker 6 Yes, but I want to know who does the better whoop when you guys are back and forth. It depends on how our voices are doing.

Speaker 5 Yeah, sometimes one of us is hoarse, the other isn't.

Speaker 6 You could tell.

Speaker 5 We've been working on the Raiders, though. We've been working on it.

Speaker 6 You go way deep.

Speaker 6 You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 Well, you guys accent it. It would be the fastest three and a half minutes if you really did that every time.

Speaker 6 So at the

Speaker 6 whoop. All right,

Speaker 6 I want to hear you guys do it back and forth, and then I'll give you a couple.

Speaker 6 Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.

Speaker 1 People will tweet us and be like, our dogs go crazy every time.

Speaker 6 Well, then here they come running.

Speaker 6 What?

Speaker 6 Hey, look, kudos to Curly on the three stooges. That's where it came from.

Speaker 5 That's a good one.

Speaker 1 All right, Schwam. Thank you so much.

Speaker 6 We love having you. Happy Super Bowl, everybody.
Happy Super Bowl. Thanks, Schwam.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 5 We're wrapping up the show.

Speaker 1 We just came from an evening of Henry Lockwood with a side of memes.

Speaker 1 It was something.

Speaker 6 It was definitely a night. It was something.
It was an evening.

Speaker 1 Hank, I thought you nailed it. Memes, you were terrible.

Speaker 6 Come on. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 6 That's fair.

Speaker 5 So, memes, I saw memes today at the content house. He was sitting at the bar, and he had his laptop open, and he was putting in his first bit of prep for the show tonight.

Speaker 5 And I think your strategy was to just hope that the world ended before today happened.

Speaker 5 Am I far off?

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 13 Maybe the plane crashes on the way here.

Speaker 6 A couple different scenarios.

Speaker 13 But I was just, I was doing

Speaker 6 from the get-go.

Speaker 13 I was supposed to say presented by Quest and Gorsleit. Didn't say that.

Speaker 13 I had five minutes of jokes prep.

Speaker 6 That didn't work out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, someone said, I think Max said that you were planning on doing Tequila the song only when you hit like a speed bump.

Speaker 13 As like a fail-safe.

Speaker 13 And it was one joke, and it was like, hit the music.

Speaker 6 Hit it right now.

Speaker 13 And it was just, it was all downhill.

Speaker 6 I'm proud of you, though.

Speaker 1 As bad as it was, I'm proud of you. Well, you made it look pretty easy.
No, yeah, Hanks was great.

Speaker 5 It's hard to get up there and do that. I'll give you that.
I would have liked to see more than like six hours of prep.

Speaker 13 Yes, but even if I prepped a year,

Speaker 13 you can't teach public speaking.

Speaker 5 There were some times, and you read some transcripts of the interviews that we've done. Actually, the first thing you did, you said, here's an unaired.
part of my take interview.

Speaker 5 Actually, it just aired previously. And you read the transcript of the text messages from Diana Rossini regarding Max on a plane.
And everyone was like, wait, I just heard this today.

Speaker 1 I turned to PFT.

Speaker 2 I go, what the fuck is he doing?

Speaker 13 Yeah, that was relevant. I thought it would be funny.
I saw one person laughing.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 13 Two sodas. Two sodas.

Speaker 13 I mean, two sodas killed.

Speaker 6 Two sodas always kills.

Speaker 1 The man had two sodas.

Speaker 13 I knew it was bad. My dad texted me after.
He just said, you okay?

Speaker 13 I was like, I'm fine.

Speaker 5 The thing about memes is like, he just denied denied that tonight was ever going to happen. And then he stepped up on stage and he was like, oh, fuck.
And then he left the stage.

Speaker 5 He's like, well, thank God that's over. And he turned the page on it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you actually are in great spirits right now.

Speaker 13 No, there's a good story just being like, remember when you fucking bombed?

Speaker 6 And then we move on.

Speaker 5 I told Big Cat during your set, I was like, I think we should make memes do this again.

Speaker 5 15 minutes at a comedy club.

Speaker 1 Memes, I'm proud of you.

Speaker 1 It was bad, but

Speaker 6 I'm proud of you. It's an understatement.
We want to go watch it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was bad. And we love you.
And you also, in a weird way, you set up Hank very well because it was like, is this going to be the worst thing that anyone has ever purchased? And Hank was good.

Speaker 6 Hank saved the day. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Hank, you were great.

Speaker 1 I thought you were. I was, people were like saying, like, oh, the Barstool employees are trying to gas hang up.

Speaker 6 Like, I was laughing about the whole thing.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 It was an interesting strategy right off the bat to be like, who hears from vegas and then people in the crowd cheer and you're like fuck you and then like five seconds later you're like why aren't you laughing yeah why is this crowd so dead but the the intro was incredible that was like a 10-minute video the you there was a shout out counter going on i think you had like 15 shout outs in the first five minutes give it up you were i mean you were like the holding the breath the core's light giving out cores light to everyone like you were a master of of running the clock yeah i think people i mean if you listen to this podcast, you've heard me talk for the last probably three or four weeks about how nervous I was for the show.

Speaker 11 And, like, I realized I was fucked. And I knew that I couldn't do stand-up for the whole time.
So I was like, I was spending my time thinking of how to kill time. So the intro is the easy one.

Speaker 11 It's like, all right, I can make a cool video. Corey, shout out to Corey.
He's a great video director. I was like, all right, we'll make a cool video to start it.
Shout out to Corey.

Speaker 11 If you watch real stand-ups, like Dave Chappelle, like they always do like cool,

Speaker 11 cool intros. So I was like, all right, we can do a cool video to start it.
That's four minutes off the bat.

Speaker 5 Gimme Shelter as a song choice. That's just such a hack.
It's, yeah, you put that under anything.

Speaker 11 It's like, I've always said when I went to film school, like, I went to film school being like, if I ever make a movie, I'm going to start it with Gimme Shelter.

Speaker 11 That's the song.

Speaker 6 That's the song.

Speaker 1 And the best part about it was you were doing stall tactics in your stall tactic movie where you had like you ran back into your hotel room just to pick up what your air pods?

Speaker 11 My passport, yeah.

Speaker 6 I loved it.

Speaker 1 You were just stalling inside the stall,

Speaker 11 but I spent because I knew it was 60 minutes, it was a long time. So I was like, I can't do 60 minutes.

Speaker 11 I was like, I got to do in my head, I was like, I got to do 30 minutes that I can talk about, and then try and think of 30 minutes of killing time. So the give it up for was another big one.

Speaker 11 I was like, let me just try and kill like 20 minutes with give it up. That was my, when it started in January, I was like, I got to think of 20 minutes of give it up for.
Yeah.

Speaker 11 Like, let's just give it up for, let's give it up for, Let's give it up for. Let's give it up for.

Speaker 11 I'm so happy it's over. That's really.

Speaker 1 You legitimately, like, there was, yeah, there was a couple of moments where it was like the crowd wasn't giving you much, but you also finished so strong.

Speaker 9 Like, your last story was great.

Speaker 6 You're,

Speaker 1 when, when Corey made you do push-ups and you were, you know, throwing out quest bags, like, it was funny.

Speaker 9 I thought it was fucking great.

Speaker 5 Walk me through where you were mentally, like, what your emotions were like from the time you stepped on stage, your relationship with the audience, and how you felt about how it was going.

Speaker 11 So, last week, PFT, obviously, you were there. We did a show at Laugh Factory, and before the show,

Speaker 11 Nick Tarani, like, helped. I was nervous.
You guys, I talked about it on the podcast over and over and over again, where I was like, I'm shitting myself over this show.

Speaker 11 I talked about it like three different times. And I saw Nick in the office one day.
I was like, I,

Speaker 11 he's like, what's up? I was like,

Speaker 6 I'm shitting myself.

Speaker 11 I have to do this fucking 60-minute show. He's like, All right, let's let's meet before.

Speaker 6 We'll go over it.

Speaker 11 I went over my material, and he helped me. He gave me some suggestions.
He was like, What if you said this? What if you said that? Like, basically, punched up my material before the show last week.

Speaker 11 And then, when I did the show last week, I had

Speaker 11 what I thought was 15 minutes prepared. I did 20 minutes, and I had more left in the tank.
So, after that, I didn't want to jinx it because you guys were like, you did really good. You're really good.

Speaker 11 I didn't want to jinx it, but I knew after that show last week I was like all right I'm gonna be fine like I'm gonna be good I did 20 minutes the crowd liked it it was a home crowd so it was like obviously PMT fans so that helped

Speaker 1 The crowd tonight was not PMT fans like they were not really laughing like no they were they were they were a little bit dead I think they were kind of expecting you to bomb so badly that it was like gonna be cringeworthy and you you were in that I feel like your whole set like the beginning of your set was in that like gray zone where it's like there was some things landing some things not then you picked up steam and i think they came alive towards the end yeah but i was i was i had felt the laugh factory crowd so i was like all right this is i'm ready for some laughs and when they weren't giving it to me i was i was just kind of going at them like my i was defensive which you guys know

Speaker 11 is how i usually am

Speaker 11 i was lashing out so that was like my my normal reaction was just like lashing out at the crowd but i had i had material ready so i was i was prepared i felt good i felt bad i will say this

Speaker 11 i knew it was maximum memes.

Speaker 11 And like the last, I knew I was going to be the last person. And I knew there was a week left where it was Max or memes.
And I was like, it's got to be memes. Like, it's got to be memes.

Speaker 11 Like, because it was Max, I felt like he would have at least put on a performance and been good.

Speaker 9 So when it was memes,

Speaker 11 I was a little bit relieved where I was like, but then I felt bad once he went on because I was like, this sucks. Like, this is a miserable, is a miserable punishment.

Speaker 11 This is the worst punishment we've ever done. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 The other thing that came out of this is I had no idea the Larry the Goldfish story.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 1 Hank told the story. Hank has a tattoo of Larry the Goldfish.

Speaker 1 It was from the beginning, I think we all agree, a terrible tattoo, but I always just thought it was a terrible tattoo because it was a bad tattoo.

Speaker 1 You told the story that when the tattoo artist came to the office and you had him tattoo Larry the Goldfish on your leg, you got the actual dead Larry the Goldfish out of the Red Solo Cup, RAP Kobe Teeth, like you said during the show.

Speaker 1 And he drew the dead goldfish on your body, and that's why it looks so bad. I had no idea.

Speaker 11 Because if you guys had known, you would have roasted it forever.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean, I just always thought it was a tattoo of a dead goldfish's body. I didn't know it was a tattoo of a dead goldfish's dead body.
Right, right.

Speaker 1 And that could have easily just gotten a goldfish, but you were like, oh, you want to see what Larry looked like? Here's his dead corpse that's been frozen in a cup for three months.

Speaker 11 Well, he asked that, he asked for a reference picture. Yeah.
And I was like, well, I can get a reference picture. He's in the freezer.

Speaker 1 So let me go take a picture.

Speaker 11 And it wasn't until the tattoo was done where I was like,

Speaker 11 and I, that's where, this is where I was like, I was too, it was too late. He had already done the full dead tattoo of my body where I was like, oh my God, this is a dead tat.
This is a dead goldfish.

Speaker 6 Yeah. And you guys were like, oh, you need a tune goldfish.

Speaker 11 I could have just shown him a picture of a goldfish. That's all I needed.
It was a fucking goldfish.

Speaker 11 I could have just googled goldfish and it wouldn't have mattered. And that's why I never told you guys because I knew I would have never heard the end of it.
No, I was like, this is on my body. Yeah.

Speaker 11 So for years, literally years, this was 2017. And in the back of my head, for legitimately 2018, 19, 20, 21, 22, I was like, I got to get this fucking thing removed.

Speaker 11 Like, I hate, like, I have a dead goldfish on my leg. Like, I got to get it removed.
And I finally have gone through the process of getting it removed.

Speaker 11 Unfortunately, it takes like 25 appointments to get it it removed, so it's like half removed. But

Speaker 11 by this summer, it will be gone.

Speaker 1 And you crushed because you were just like, you wouldn't get JFK's blown-out brains

Speaker 1 tattooed on your body. That's what I did.

Speaker 11 Yeah, it's like everyone has dead, that's that's

Speaker 11 everyone has dead people tattooed on them. They don't have the dead version of those people.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 5 Hank, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought you were good.

Speaker 5 I did, I asked for the opinion of maybe the harshest critic in the world on this set. Frank the Tank, who was in attendance tonight.
Piece of shit.

Speaker 4 And Frank the Tank.

Speaker 11 Frank the Tank started playing crickets during memes. Yeah.

Speaker 6 He's piece shit.

Speaker 6 I told him to stop. He's piece shit.
Same. He did.
I was like, stop doing that.

Speaker 6 You can't. You can't.

Speaker 5 You can't do that.

Speaker 5 Frank needs to get up on stage. Actually, he'd probably kill it.
Yeah, no. Frank would be amazing.
Are you kidding me? So I asked him after the show. I said, on the raw doggin' scale,

Speaker 5 single, double, triple, home run, strikeout.

Speaker 5 He gave you a single.

Speaker 6 Oh, that's good.

Speaker 1 What do you give memes?

Speaker 11 Struck out looking like Vogelbach.

Speaker 6 That's what he said.

Speaker 5 Yeah, the crickets was harsh. And then he started biting his shirt.
Memes. Thinking about the Mets.

Speaker 1 Memes did get Dave to leave.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Dave Portnoy left the show.

Speaker 5 So, Memes, you've done a great job the last few years of staying off Dave's radar. Now you are firmly on Dave's radar.

Speaker 13 Pay-per-views does matter.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Pay-per-views.

Speaker 11 When Dave showed up, he was like, I can't believe he's here. I was like, who cares?

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 5 I crush in the preset.

Speaker 11 But that, that, the, the Dave thing showing up was like, that, that was like, he was, I was like, I, I was, I wanted Dave to be there. I didn't care that Dave was there.

Speaker 6 I saw him. I was like, I'm fucked.

Speaker 1 Well, people could still buy it. You could buy it till, what, Super Bowl Sunday?

Speaker 11 February 11th.

Speaker 1 I think it was, like, I know that it was not, you know, Dave Chappelle or Louis C.K. I thought it was very funny.

Speaker 11 Like, it was a it was a good night it was a great punishment I think maybe next year for our punishment we do loser has to get like a 90 minute massage spa dance something like that whatever we do has to be whatever we do has to be I have I've spent a month thinking about this I think maybe we send him to Bali whatever we do has to be top to bottom it has to be the whole podcast it can't be split into tiers

Speaker 11 because that was bullshit where it was like me big cat and pft in one tier which is not a fair tiering for myself and then just picking games think if memes had to do six pancakes.

Speaker 2 If I had to do an hour?

Speaker 6 Oh, my God. I would have to do it.
No, I'm saying.

Speaker 6 But you guys,

Speaker 11 we would never do that. So it's like we have to do something that's equal.

Speaker 6 All right, yeah, you're on the board. No punishment.

Speaker 1 Because, like, you keep saying we don't have to do punishments, and I had to remind you that, like, I have to eat six pancakes.

Speaker 5 I have to eat 24. I got to eat 12.

Speaker 10 So it would have been PFT and Hank. PFT got second place if we did the

Speaker 6 top to bottom.

Speaker 5 And it was second worst.

Speaker 2 No, you were second place.

Speaker 6 Because we always do second and last.

Speaker 11 Yeah, but we never would have done. Yeah.
We would never have put Jake, Max, and memes on the bottom.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, no, you're right. You're right.

Speaker 5 I think that the winner next year should get a race.

Speaker 5 A golf vacation. I think that would be nice.

Speaker 1 Listen, I know that it sucked for you guys. I think it was a very funny punishment and like a storyline throughout the football season.

Speaker 6 We'll come up with something else.

Speaker 5 Yeah, and Hank, you were a good storyteller tonight. Thank you.
The storytelling was good, and you told a lot of interesting things I think people hadn't heard about.

Speaker 5 When I saw the picture of Russillo pop up, I knew exactly where that was going.

Speaker 6 You were standing on business. Yeah.

Speaker 11 I walked at the airport. I walked at the elevator and PFT

Speaker 11 tried to kill me.

Speaker 5 The story goes that Bubba and Hank worked in concert together behind the scenes to do a Photoshop of a green screen shot that we did through Silo where they made me look like three inches shorter.

Speaker 5 And that's the problem I had. If you had made me like five inches shorter, six, I'd be fine.
That'd be funny. But since it was three inches, that actually made me mad at the time.

Speaker 5 People think I'm 5'5 now.

Speaker 11 The guitar thing also, like, I obviously wasn't playing guitar. It was probably very very obvious on the pay-per-view that I was fake playing guitar, but

Speaker 11 that

Speaker 11 I enjoyed learning guitar with PFT, but actually playing at the speed you need to play at to play a full song is very hard.

Speaker 5 I told you, it's not an easy song for somebody that doesn't know music.

Speaker 6 But in my head, I was like, all right, I got a full moment. I'm going to do it.

Speaker 11 I'm going to play the song. Bought the guitar, learned

Speaker 11 simple strings, and then I was like, oh.

Speaker 5 And Hank does get into the full story behind Tiffany. Like some behind-the-scenes stuff that he has not shared on the podcast.
Yeah.

Speaker 11 Yeah, it was, I'm,

Speaker 11 I truly feel like I have a new lease on life. I'm so happy it's over.
I have never had anxiety like I've had the last month. So is it bender time?

Speaker 5 Is it bender time?

Speaker 6 We were talking.

Speaker 1 The punishment actually turned out to be kind of a punishment on me and Peter.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, you had to deal with you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you guys, there was,

Speaker 11 it was probably two weeks ago where like, I think it was a Sunday, I think it was, it was AFC Championship or divisional round where like we were on the same page where I was miserable, you guys knew I was miserable, but you weren't going to ask me why I was miserable because you knew why I was miserable.

Speaker 11 So we just didn't

Speaker 1 dance going.

Speaker 11 Yeah, we just didn't address it. Yeah, it was.
We were on the same page where I was like, this fucking sucks.

Speaker 11 I hate everything.

Speaker 5 So yeah, now is it binner time?

Speaker 11 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 And tune in. If you want to buy the pay-per-views, you can get the origin story of Pardon My Take, which we won't tell on the podcast.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 That's very funny.

Speaker 1 I didn't know it for that probably made you feel like you needed to call the cops no not i mean yeah

Speaker 1 yeah it's just statue jake was googling statue of limitation makes the story of me being with you guys even that much like crazy yeah yeah we still have to do that to you

Speaker 6 we should memes

Speaker 1 don't put you down on yourself i mean it it was like it's over don't yeah all right good because like as bad as you think it was it was way worse

Speaker 6 I saw some people laughing.

Speaker 5 Are you going to watch the back memes? No.

Speaker 6 That should be the pun. Yeah, that should be.

Speaker 5 Yeah, we won't make you do stand-up again, but you should have to sit down and watch the whole thing.

Speaker 1 No, just next year's Football Punishment is having to watch memes

Speaker 6 over and over.

Speaker 13 You can still buy it, $4.99.

Speaker 6 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 1 Well, we're kicking to ourselves in studio with the Schwamm.

Speaker 9 doing some lottery balls.

Speaker 1 Okay, that is our show. Great interview with the Schwamm.

Speaker 2 Thank you as always.

Speaker 1 And we're going to do numbers.

Speaker 6 So take a guess.

Speaker 6 Well, let's see.

Speaker 6 18. 18, okay, okay.

Speaker 1 I'll go 71 again.

Speaker 6 I'll go 8 again. Go.

Speaker 1 40 for Hank, 21 for Shane, 18 for Jake. Memes.

Speaker 6 Come on. Incredible.
If you listen to the show on Monday, you know why we're freaking out. Unbelievable.

Speaker 5 Should have stuck with 22.

Speaker 6 No.

Speaker 2 Stuck with 22.

Speaker 6 Tony lining up offside. Oh, man.

Speaker 6 Oh man.

Speaker 6 By the way, that sounds like the crowd noise they pump in

Speaker 6 like when you're going to a Thursday practice of an NFL team and they're going to go on the road. Yeah.
That sounds like a water involved.

Speaker 5 Yeah, if it's going to rain, we dip all the balls in water too.

Speaker 5 Love you guys.

Speaker 6 talking away.

Speaker 6 I'm the one I need to say, I'd say anyway.

Speaker 6 Today's a matter of the day to find you, shining away.

Speaker 6 I'll be coming for your lover, going for your lover.

Speaker 6 I'm on seniors, but he stole it away.

Speaker 6 No, the clock is okay.

Speaker 6 Say it's me.

Speaker 6 Let's look at it, to be safe, inside it, to be safe, inside, to be safe.

Speaker 6 I'll be

Speaker 6 gone.
