Speaker 9 It's part and my team,

Speaker 9 the number one spot podcast on the charts and in your heart.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take. Today is Monday, November 27th, week 12.

Speaker 1 Let us be the last to wish you and yours a happy Thanksgiving. What?

Speaker 1 Stuffed turkey.

Speaker 1 We start in Detroit on Thanksgiving, where Christian what Sin said yeah from the windows to the wall. He caught all of Jordan's balls.
All skeet skeet, motherfucker. All skeet skeet, goddamn.

Speaker 1 Speaking of balls, Jared took a couple of costly sacks as Lions fans were looking for the closest Sam Laporta potty on Turkey Day.

Speaker 1 Jaden Lou Reed and the Packers took a walk on the wild side this season. Cost playing as a shitty team, but now they're back to 5-6 and in the hunt.
Huh? Huh? Huh? Packers? Packers, 29.

Speaker 1 Stop me if you heard this before. The Lions, 22.
They lose on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 Down to Dallas, where Jamie Lee Curtis Samuel had 100 yards, but he wished he could be trading places with Dan Dakroy Prescott for the holidays.

Speaker 1 It was Daxgiving as they were branding cooksing some CD lamb chops and Tony Pollard greens and leaving everyone Kavante Bourpen.

Speaker 1 After 45 points, Mike McCarthy enjoyed the one day a year where looking fat just means you're happy. As the Cowboys roll, Dallas, 45, the Washington Commanders, 10.

Speaker 1 We move along to the first ever Black Friday NFL game where you can listen to Tim Susan Boyle on Amazon Music Ad-Free with a subscription to Amazon Prime.

Speaker 1 Javon Holland Oates said, What I want is to intercept Hail Mary's. Put the ball in my hand and carry.

Speaker 1 Score a touchdown. Yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 You don't make friends with Salah as Jets fans are wondering how Roberts still has a job. Dolphins, 34.
Jets 13.

Speaker 1 We move on to Sunday, where CJ Stroud Mary was throwing,

Speaker 1 throwing,

Speaker 1 throwing, boss and tank doll. Dr.
Travorki and Lawrence had Texans fans updating their living Will Anderson as they got put out of their misery.

Speaker 1 Calvin Squiggly was playing red light, green light with a Texan secondary, scoring a huge touchdown. And I'm not the world's most physical guy, but if I need 58 yards, I'd kick it 59.
Dola.

Speaker 1 Doink, doink, doink, doink, dola. As the game ends on Matt Amadola's doink, Jaguars, 24.
Texans, 21.

Speaker 1 We head over to New Jersey, the Meadowlands, where we have our beat reporter Henry Lockwood on the scene. Yes, guys, I'm here in the Meadowlands.

Speaker 1 Fans of the Big Blue are grateful this week for Mac Cheese Jones when Bailey's Irish Zappy throwing picks and stumbling, bumbling, fumbling the ball all day long.

Speaker 1 Tommy Don Vito said, Bam, bro, I'll be down.

Speaker 8 I'm out.

Speaker 1 I'm I'm Italian.

Speaker 1 Brandy Bullock got off the cheeseburgers and on the scoreboard with a go-ahead field goal in the fourth quarter. And Chad Rye, Landon, Donovan, kicked the game-tying field goal wide left.

Speaker 1 And the Giants passed New England in the Pooper Bowl 13-10. I'm Italian.
Thank you, Henry.

Speaker 1 Hey, hey.

Speaker 1 Over to Cincinnati, where Bengals fans are still Jake-frowning about Joe Burrows' lost season.

Speaker 1 Eddie William Faulkner worked on a script and brought the sound and the fury on the Bengals defense to the tune of 16 points. The game turned on Trenton Hunter S.

Speaker 1 Thompson's interception as he has Steelers fans hoping to feel fear and loathing in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl. And Cincinnati's playoff hopes are officially gonzo.
Steelers 16, Bengals 10.

Speaker 1 Up to mile high where Samaji, hold on a second, I gotta go take a P-ride, looked like a number one back when coach said, you're in, pal.

Speaker 1 Dorian Gray Thompson Robinson decayed before our very eyes leading him to need a walker to finish the game like Stu Feiner after a weekend of pleasuring his wife he's half man half fish he's trout man who scored a pivotal touchdown to give the Broncos a win the

Speaker 1 Broncos 29 the Browns 12 we now head over to Philadelphia PA Where we have our intrepid reporter, the one-legged man,

Speaker 1 Max Christopher Delente. Max, definitely watch the game.

Speaker 1 The first half Philadelphia Feebles were getting rawdogged up and down the field to an early 10-point deficit.

Speaker 1 Then, all of a sudden, Halen Hurts started making it rain all over the Bills defense and eventually set up Make Elliott to extend the game.

Speaker 1 Josh Giddy Allen was hooking up with 13 and 14 all day, but his last snap of OG got exposed as he couldn't connect with Davis to win the game. Eagles win 34-31.
Oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh,

Speaker 1 oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

Speaker 7 oh, oh, oh, Make Elliott, that was an inspired choice.

Speaker 1 How'd you go up with that one? He made it, he made it, boot.

Speaker 1 Standing on a corner, James Swenson down in Nola. Such a fine sight to see.

Speaker 1 It's Bijan, my lord. He needs to carry it more.
And the Falcons in the Caperti

Speaker 1 Come on dude piss. You've got to do

Speaker 8 it

Speaker 1 and ludicrous came from Raptors screaming moo

Speaker 1 bitch

Speaker 1 The Falcons win Saints don't go March 24

Speaker 10 26 14 I think 24 4 15 we knew it give it up for Chicago Sebastian Maniscalco's new stand-up special, It Ain't Right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st.

Speaker 1 30 years ago, Jeff Bezos, complete nerd. Bezos now ripped to shreds on his super yacht, and the boxes keep coming.

Speaker 10 Sebastian Maniscalco, It Ain't Right, premieres November 21st, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers.

Speaker 1 Terms apply.

Speaker 1 Okay, week 12 in the books.

Speaker 1 Holy shit, that was a lot of football we watched, boys. Thanksgiving week.
We have survived.

Speaker 7 We survived. I don't know if Scott Hansen survived.
Thoughts and prayers to him. They had to evacuate the Red Zone studio this afternoon.
We were without Scott Hansen for a couple minutes.

Speaker 1 All-time football guy move. People were saying that maybe the alarm was going off because they were trying to warn us that we had Jason Garrett on Sunday night football.

Speaker 1 I would have appreciated

Speaker 1 some heads up. That is an Amber alert thing that should we should have Amber alerts for sports fans, backup quarterbacks, Jason Garrett being on our TV on Sunday night.

Speaker 1 These are the most important things. A mascot dying.
Like, there should be, we should be able to, I wonder if we could actually do that. Create up a text message service.

Speaker 7 With also if a starting running back has a baby or a wide receiver.

Speaker 1 We decide what gets sent out.

Speaker 7 Yeah, Jason Garrett would have been a nice heads up. I said it was like it's like watching boogie nights with your parents if it's a big game.
It just takes all the fun out of it.

Speaker 7 You're trying to watch what should be an important game two theoretically, well, one good team, one theoretically good team. Yes.
Not very good. And then you have to hear Jason Garrett drone on.

Speaker 7 And you know what? I'm going to stand up for Mike Torico here. He ruined Mike Torico's moment.
Yeah. Mike Torico tried to have a nice little moment with America.

Speaker 7 They were fading off into commercial break with a nice picturesque sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Mike Torico, in his calming voice, said something like, and we'll see you guys in just a little bit.

Speaker 7 And then Jason Garrett was like, this is very nice, Mike.

Speaker 7 And he just, it ruined the moment. He's the worst.

Speaker 1 Complete boner killer. We will talk about that game.
Justin Tucker just missed an easy kick.

Speaker 1 Is he washed? He might be washed.

Speaker 7 Yeah, he's on washed watch.

Speaker 1 He might be washed. But yes, we are going to get to every game.
We're back from Thanksgiving. I think that right now,

Speaker 1 if you gave me a drug test, they'd be like, I don't know how this man has survived. He's 95% peptobismal and tums.

Speaker 1 I'm struggling. My body is broken.

Speaker 7 I'm all on sodium. My body's like completely salty right now.

Speaker 1 I feel like Hank. I tried to eat dinner tonight, and I had two bites.
I was like, I can't eat.

Speaker 7 I can't eat anymore. I've been on that all day.

Speaker 1 First time in my life.

Speaker 7 So my problem is I'm trying to start a new clean living diet so I can get some Super Bowl abs this year.

Speaker 1 This is a perfect time for it. And right now

Speaker 7 it's very hard because I've got so much leftovers in my house.

Speaker 7 I don't want to waste. There are starving kids all across the world that could use a nice plate of food.
So I feel like I should eat it for them. And it's just the most unhealthy food possible.

Speaker 7 I'm on that fried turkey. morning, noon, night diet right now.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 we're going to pick up the pieces. We're back.
Uh, we are going to talk about Thanksgiving Day games and Black Friday games and then get into every other game from Sunday. So let's hop into it.

Speaker 1 Let's get right into it. The Packers 29, the Lions 22.

Speaker 1 The Lions got killed by the moon.

Speaker 1 Jay Kuda, who does an incredible job on Twitter, tweeted out before the game that the Lions are 0-12 going into Thursday's game when playing on Thanksgiving with a waxing gibbous moon.

Speaker 1 They are now 0-13 under those circumstances.

Speaker 7 Sounds like some astrology shit.

Speaker 1 Listen, if astrology will win me money, I will be the biggest weirdo astrologist of all time.

Speaker 7 Yeah, so which one is waxing? That's when it's coming in. Yeah.
That's when the moon is starting to fill up.

Speaker 1 In Gibbous.

Speaker 7 In Gibbous. Okay, so I don't know what it means, but yeah, again, that should be also on our text alert thread.

Speaker 1 That would have 100% be it. Yeah.
But the Lions,

Speaker 1 it was sad to see the Lions lose, but it was also comforting to be like, oh, yeah, even though they're good,

Speaker 1 yeah, nothing's changed. They lose on Thanksgiving.
Well, so the Lions aren't that bad historically on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 7 We remember it when they do lose, and it just kind of falls into place, but they're not the worst team on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 They're pretty bad.

Speaker 7 They're not great, but they're far from the worst. They're like middle of the pack in terms of overall record.
Do you know why they play on Thanksgiving every year?

Speaker 1 It was some deal with

Speaker 1 the motor companies, right?

Speaker 7 No, it was their former owner.

Speaker 1 You just always say motor companies with Detroit.

Speaker 7 Yeah,

Speaker 7 the former owner also owned a network of TV stations and radio stations. That's right.
And so he wanted to give them a nationwide audience to increase brand awareness about the Lions.

Speaker 7 And so he was just like, let's just do a Thanksgiving Day game. And it worked.
And so now it just kind of became the Lions thing.

Speaker 1 They are, by the way, 6 and 18 this century.

Speaker 1 They're bad on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 7 This century, yeah.

Speaker 1 No, they won a lot of games on Thanksgiving when like

Speaker 1 we weren't alive.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So they have been bad on Thanksgiving. And they've had, I think, like a seven or eight game losing streak and a six game losing streak that they're currently on.
Yeah. So they're bad on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 7 Yes, I was just looking up overall records earlier in the week on Thanksgiving, and there's

Speaker 1 500.

Speaker 7 There's a lot of teams that, yeah, they're 37, 44, and two on Thanksgiving. So that's what I saw.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 7 if you're a Lions fan,

Speaker 7 panic button is in the palm of your hand, I would say, right?

Speaker 7 And it's not because your team stinks, because I think the Lions will be fine and they'll figure a way out, but the Vikings also have a very real chance.

Speaker 7 If they beat the Bears on Monday Night Football, the Vikings could be in the discussion for the division.

Speaker 7 They still have to play the Lions twice.

Speaker 1 The thing about the Lions is right now, our guy, Jared Goff, is in a little bit of a mini slump. He's one and one in his mini slump.

Speaker 1 He beat the Bears not playing his best game. The same thing kind of happened on Thanksgiving Day where the ball was getting turned over a lot, fumbles, under pressure, missing some throws.

Speaker 1 You just have to hope that he gets out of his mini slump, which I think he will.

Speaker 1 But that is the difference right now with how the Lions look because their defense is not going to be the one that wins them games. It's got to be their offense.

Speaker 1 So when their offense isn't clicking perfectly, they look like not a great team.

Speaker 7 We're football guys, so we know that the strength of the Lions should be their offensive line. Yes.
And the middle of their offensive line hasn't been playing that well.

Speaker 7 And there was a lot of pressure on Jared.

Speaker 7 I'll say that the fumble when he was trying to throw the ball early on in the game, I don't think that's entirely on Jared.

Speaker 1 Rashawn Gary is really fucking good. He's a really fucking good football player, and he was everywhere on Thursday.
And

Speaker 1 I do want to briefly talk about the Packers, and I want to say this has got to be a safe space. No Packers fans can tweet this at me.
What I'm about to say does not count.

Speaker 1 Jordan Love might actually be good, and it's starting to scare me. He might actually be good.

Speaker 1 And this is the difference between dysfunctional franchises and functional franchises like the Green Bay Packers, where this season was lost for them.

Speaker 1 It was a completely lost cause. They looked like trash.

Speaker 1 They were a bad football team, and they have come along here in the last few weeks, won some games, and now they are like, they're in the hunt more than they're five and six, and someone's going to get this seven seed in the NFC, and they could absolutely get into the playoffs.

Speaker 1 And that's the difference between a functional and dysfunctional franchise is when they

Speaker 1 look like everything's lost and that the season's over, they could still somehow sneak into the playoffs.

Speaker 7 I think that for most franchises that aren't like the Packers, like our beloved teams, when you stink, it's a terminal illness. Right.
There's no turning back.

Speaker 1 You're like, we just stink.

Speaker 7 You're going to stink. And as a matter of fact, you're going to get worse as the season keeps going.
There's no cure. There's no cure for whatever you have when you're a dysfunctional franchise.

Speaker 7 And then if you're a good franchise, there's enough stability around you where maybe you can keep practicing football and get better at football and play your way out of a slump.

Speaker 1 I don't, I still, I would pump the brakes.

Speaker 7 I know that you're afraid about Jordan Love.

Speaker 7 I would not concern myself too much with Jordan Love being like an elite quarterback.

Speaker 1 He looked a lot better. He looks, his receivers are getting a lot better because they're all very young.

Speaker 1 And they tried to basically have an entire young team on the fly and see if they could patch together. And again,

Speaker 1 I'm not even talking about the Vikings being in the playoffs because we've been looking at who's going to win this seventh seed.

Speaker 1 Now it's who's going to win the sixth and seventh because the Seahawks are completely reeling, and the Seahawks have to play the Cowboys, they have to play the Niners, and I think they have to play the Eagles all in a row.

Speaker 1 So those three games in a row, there could be two, like, it could flop. It could be the Rams and the Packers in the playoffs, just like that.
So I,

Speaker 1 it's just, it's scaring me, and I, I know, again, Packers fans can't use this against me. I think Jordan Love might be good, and it's starting to worry me.
He looked a lot better.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but at least he was throwing the ball around.

Speaker 7 How good is his ceiling?

Speaker 7 I don't think he's going to be great.

Speaker 1 But his receivers are now like Christian Watson finally got his head out of his ass, Jaden Reed, like all these guys that they really did him a disservice by putting all these young guys on his team and being like, we're not going to give you one

Speaker 1 stalwart, like old receiver that can help you, like an Adam Thielen and the Panthers, who obviously that hasn't worked out well.

Speaker 1 But it's all kind of coming along here, and they've strung some games along, and they start to look like a real team. And at five and six, I don't know, man.
I'm a little nervous.

Speaker 1 And they don't have the toughest schedule.

Speaker 1 They still have the giants the bucks and the panthers on their schedule after they play the chiefs next week right like the packers are going to probably get to nine or ten wins and i'm going to have to i'm going to have to kill myself if i were the lions i'd be then this shouldn't be used against me i would be way more concerned with the vikings because they have the bears raiders bengals then two games against the lions and the packers so the the vikings have a very real window right now yeah no no but again the seahawks are the other team like the seahawks are are faltering the seahawks look bad and they have some really tough games going so we've been thinking, like, oh, the Seahawks are in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 I've thought that. Now I don't think that's the case.
And again, it's complete and utter bullshit that in a rebuilding year you can make the playoffs. That should be not allowed.

Speaker 1 You should have to declare before the season starts whether you're rebuilding or not. And then

Speaker 1 you are not eligible for the playoffs if you're rebuilding.

Speaker 7 Functional teams don't have...

Speaker 1 like dedicated rebuilding yeah they rebuild up like kind of like this is

Speaker 7 rebuilding rebuilding is much like uh the in the hunt graphic where if you're a shitty franchise, you just say that you're rebuilding, and then that gives you permission to stink for that year.

Speaker 7 At least for that year, you have an excuse.

Speaker 1 I've thought my way out of this. Aaron Rodgers didn't make the playoffs last year.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, but that's... I was saying Joe and Love Better than Aaron Rodgers, but that's my worst nightmare.
So, no, it's bad. It's bad.

Speaker 1 And I feel bad for Lions fans because this was supposed to be like the big Thanksgiving where you guys are a really good team

Speaker 1 and everything goes well.

Speaker 1 What I would say to Lions fans, I assume most of the Lions fans listening to this show have already watched it, but I did watch the Barry Sanders documentary on Friday night. Awesome documentary.

Speaker 1 Barry Sanders is incredible. I love watching him run.

Speaker 1 The craziest Barry Sanders stat that I completely forgot, or maybe just never even knew, the year that he had 2,000 yards rushing, 1997, he finished with 2,053 yards.

Speaker 1 How many yards did he have in his first two games that season?

Speaker 7 Oh, shit. I don't know if it's going to be a whole lot or not very many at all, so I don't know.

Speaker 1 He had 53 yards his first two games. That's crazy.
So he had 2,000 yards rushing in the last 14 games.

Speaker 7 That's insane. It's insane.

Speaker 7 If you look at Barry Sanders' Oklahoma State stats, those are incredible.

Speaker 1 He was crazy. I also just didn't know that his dad was a die-hard Oklahoma fan.
Barry Sanders was just like, yeah, I'm going to go to Oklahoma State. Good for him.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's, I mean, his whole career, just not wanting the limelight and just being like, I mean, he should be celebrated.

Speaker 1 I know there was a weird cooling off period between him and the Lions, but I also didn't realize that he had two times in his career, a player on the Lions had to be taken off in an ambulance.

Speaker 1 One of them got paralyzed. The other had a really bad neck injury, and that was like, they talked about it.
They're like, that was part of him being like, maybe I don't want to play this.

Speaker 7 Yeah, good for Barry. Barry walked away at the top of his game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so Lions fans, watch that documentary.

Speaker 7 Lions fans also, I know that you're thinking about the panic button. I still think they're going to win the division.

Speaker 7 I still think that they're, I don't think there's anything inherently broken about the Lions. No, it's not for golf right now.
They had a couple bad bounces. The moon was

Speaker 7 waxing gibbous.

Speaker 1 That moon, like,

Speaker 1 go somewhere else, moon. You fucking.

Speaker 7 Do we really need the moon for anything? I feel like the moon is washed.

Speaker 1 The moon is washed because they always say for the tides.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I think the tides have figured it out by kind of over. Okay, so the earth has existed for what, like, I don't know.

Speaker 7 Depending on how religious you are, anywhere between 20,000 and 20 million years, I think the tides know their role. Yes.

Speaker 1 Right?

Speaker 1 They know their lane.

Speaker 7 Like the moon. What does it do?

Speaker 7 I might have to be anti-moon.

Speaker 1 Ooh. You want to go anti-moon, Hank? I don't think so.

Speaker 7 Join the party. Why not?

Speaker 1 Why do you like the moon? You're always scared.

Speaker 3 Because, I mean, it controls the oceans. I'm a big ocean guy.

Speaker 7 Oh, so that you can find your way if you're sailing at night, if there's a full moon? You're right. That would be nice.

Speaker 3 Yeah, and just the tides and everything. Like, it plays a vital part.

Speaker 3 Without the moon, we wouldn't exist.

Speaker 1 Is that true? I don't think that's true.

Speaker 7 I don't think that's true. So, the moon has always been.

Speaker 1 I don't think we need the moon for shit. The thing is, like, the moon is...
Oh, we need the moon.

Speaker 3 If we didn't have the moon, we'd spin out of orbit. No.

Speaker 7 No, no.

Speaker 7 You're thinking of something else.

Speaker 1 We should just let the moon off its leash. Just push it.
Could we push the moon?

Speaker 7 Yeah, just ram it real quick. So the moon was supposed to be like the Earth's fullback, intercepting comets and asteroids,

Speaker 7 which it did a great job at, but the game has evolved to the point where we don't need a fullback anymore. Right.
It's more wide open.

Speaker 7 When was the last time that you saw a new crater form on the moon because it hit, it knocked out an asteroid?

Speaker 7 It's been years.

Speaker 1 It hasn't been doing shit for us.

Speaker 3 You don't know what the other side.

Speaker 7 I don't think the moon could play in this era.

Speaker 3 The dark side.

Speaker 7 Washed. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 By the way, Jake, could you please put a reminder in the files for me that

Speaker 1 I need to make sure that I win my first bet on Thanksgiving next year? That really just

Speaker 1 changes my whole mood for the Thanksgiving Day. Yeah, Thanksgiving Day.
The first game is the most important game of the day. It changes

Speaker 1 the entire tenor of the day, how you conduct yourself around your family, all of it. So I just, that's a must-win.
And

Speaker 1 I don't put enough effort into trying to make that a must-win. Like, I just took the Lions and I was like, oh, yeah, they're going to win.
The Packers stink.

Speaker 1 And then I was just Danny Doom and Gloom until the Cowboys romped, whomped, crushed the Commanders.

Speaker 7 Hand up also, this Lions game snuck up on me. Central time, early kickoff.

Speaker 7 It really snuck up on me.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Also,

Speaker 1 we had a little controversy because the Packers didn't get a turkey. Yeah.
They didn't get a turkey at the end. There was a theory that

Speaker 1 Greg Olson actually ruined the turkey because he

Speaker 1 shoved his hand inside the turkey during one of the breaks.

Speaker 1 And then there was another theory.

Speaker 7 How is that a theory? Isn't that either something that happened or doesn't happen?

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, I don't think anyone's going to own up to it. And then there was another theory that

Speaker 1 had seared the Lions logo into the turkey, so they didn't want to give it to the Packers.

Speaker 7 Oh, so Fox jinxed it?

Speaker 1 Yeah, they might have jinxed it.

Speaker 7 Fox stopped the country. And the moon.
This is Arizona all the time. Or the moon.

Speaker 1 And the moon. Both things hand in hand.
Okay, let's talk about the next game. Cowboys 45, Commanders 10.

Speaker 1 This was

Speaker 1 such an ass-kicking that the Dallas Cowboys hid a turkey in the Salvation Army bucket.

Speaker 1 And that would be bad enough because they were like, hey, we're going to win by so much. After we score one time, we're going to go and we're going to eat the turkey out of there.

Speaker 1 And Dak Prescott said afterwards that he was thinking about doing it. He was kind of weighing it around, like, hey, we're probably going to get a penalty.

Speaker 1 And then he happened to see Mike McCarthy and Jerry Jones before the game and he told Jerry and Jerry was like, fuck yeah, do that.

Speaker 1 And then that would be bad enough.

Speaker 1 But the worst part is that Dak Prescott said afterwards, they were actually going to do it after they went up 31 to 10 with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, but they were like, nah, we'll score again.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, that was. And then they waited and they did it when they went up 38 to 10.

Speaker 7 That was the worst part to me:

Speaker 7 they, okay, you want to hide a turkey in a Salvation Army kettle? Yeah. Go ahead, do that.

Speaker 7 Last week we proved that we were get engaged during a sack celebration bad. Yeah.
Now this week we're hide a turkey and celebrate a touchdown.

Speaker 7 But if you're going to do it, do it when you're up by 20 points late in the fourth.

Speaker 7 Don't wait until you break 40 points almost. Yeah.
Break that out on me.

Speaker 1 Whatever. I asked for a whomping.

Speaker 7 I said I'd love a whomping. I wanted it.
I was like all SM me up. 50 Shades of Gray.
Beat the shit out of me, Daddy. Like, that's what I wanted because I wanted Ron Rivera to get fired.

Speaker 7 I almost accomplished that mission. Jack Del Rio got the axe.
He's fired.

Speaker 7 I'm happy about that. Now, it's an interesting game because

Speaker 7 going into Thanksgiving, NFL teams were 57-0 in the last 25 seasons when they had a game where they they had 100-plus rushing yards, 250-plus passing yards, 35-minute time of possession, no more than 25 penalty yards, and no more than one turnover.

Speaker 7 The commanders did that, and they lost by 35 points. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You got to score this. You got to score.
That's important.

Speaker 7 Scoring is important.

Speaker 7 We were good until we got to like the 30-yard line, and then the offense stunk after that. The defense was awful.

Speaker 7 This might be the worst defense that I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 1 It got Jack Del Rio fired.

Speaker 7 Jackal firing. It got Jack Del Rio fired.
Now, my theory is Ron Rivera is going to take over the defense. He's going to retire at the end of the season.

Speaker 7 He made a side deal with Josh Harris being like, please don't fire me. I'm going to stick around.
I'm going to let Eric B. Inemy run the show.
He's going to act like the head coach.

Speaker 7 He's going to take care of everything on the offensive side of the ball.

Speaker 1 Like a job interview.

Speaker 7 Like a job interview. We're going to give him, which I wanted, except I wanted Ron gone too.
But I'm pretty sure that Ron's going to. He's such a classy guy.

Speaker 7 You remember how he went out in Charlotte where they let him address the team in the media after after the

Speaker 1 press conference after he got fired.

Speaker 7 Yeah, so Ron's a classy guy. No one wants to fire Ron, especially not during Salute to Service Month.
His parents are in the military.

Speaker 7 And I think what is going to happen is Bienemi is going to be the de facto head coach for the rest of the season.

Speaker 7 He's going to get a shot to prove himself and then clean house after the season's over. So good job to the Cowboys.
Cowboys are great. Cowboys beat the fuck out of bad teams.

Speaker 7 You found a pretty fucking bad team.

Speaker 1 The Cowboys are really good right now, and I know that they're playing some bad teams, and they've had two big games that they've lost against really good teams, basically the two teams in front of them and the Eagles and the Niners.

Speaker 1 But Dak Prescott is playing out of his mind. He's had four out of the last five games, 300-plus yards.
The Cowboys at home this year are 5-0 for a combined score of 205 to 60.

Speaker 1 That's an average score of 41 to 12.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 the Cowboys deserve credit. I know that they still have to prove that they can beat the Eagles or the 49ers, but the Cowboys are really fucking good right now.

Speaker 1 And I think it's, I had the theory a couple weeks ago where it's like they're kind of in the perfect spot where everyone talks about the Eagles and 49ers and not every single show is leading with the Cowboys, but they are a really, really good team.

Speaker 1 And they are, like, if you have a conversation about the three teams in the NFC, the Cowboys have to be in it.

Speaker 7 I think the Cowboys could win the Super Bowl. Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 And Duron Bland, insane. His

Speaker 1 fifth pick six of the season. That's an NFL record, and it's week 12.
Yeah. Insane.
He has more touchdowns than, like,

Speaker 1 he's got to have more touchdowns than Zach Wilson, right?

Speaker 7 Yeah, I'd say so.

Speaker 1 I would have to guess, right? Does he, memes? Zach Wilson at six. Oh, okay.
So Deron Blam will get it soon. Soon enough.

Speaker 7 I know he has more than DK Metcalf because DK said that after the game. Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 He's got more touchdowns than I did.

Speaker 13 Bolson Nance had an incredible call.

Speaker 1 He did. He was ready for that.

Speaker 13 He said, you're watching history, folks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he did have a very good call for that. But yeah, the Cowboys are really good.
Yeah, the Cowboys. I got to give them credit.

Speaker 7 The Cowboys could 100% win the Super Bowl. I'm not downplaying that at all.
I still think the 49ers are better. I think the Eagles are better.

Speaker 7 But depending on how it all shakes out, the Cowboys are in that conversation.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the problem for the Cowboys is that the team ahead of them is in their division, so they don't get to play home games in the playoffs. That's the biggest problem.
Right.

Speaker 1 Because they just kill teams at home.

Speaker 7 Now, on the other side of the coin,

Speaker 7 I'm all over tankathon.com, baby. I'm on it.
And Big Cat, I'm rooting for the best for your Bears. I hope your Bears win tomorrow night.
I'm on your side. Let's go, Bears.

Speaker 7 Has nothing to do with the fact that Washington would then potentially take the fourth pick from the Bears. And then now we're looking at maybe Maserati Marv.

Speaker 1 Listen, I'm cool with anything because the Panthers suck so bad, and I don't think they're going to win another game. So I'm good with that.

Speaker 1 I would be fine with the Bears maybe trying to win a game every now and then.

Speaker 7 How the turntables for me. Yeah.

Speaker 7 I was thinking the offs about a month ago.

Speaker 1 We were just having a discussion out there. Obviously, outside of Jake and Max, who Eagles and Dolphins, I might have the best team out of the rest of us.

Speaker 7 Right now, yeah.

Speaker 1 Commanders, Jets, Patriots, and then Shane is sitting there in his sad Chargers sweatshirt, even though the Chargers did kick the shit out of the Bears, so you probably can't make that argument.

Speaker 1 But, like, the Bears are not as bad as the Commanders, the Jets, and the Patriots right now. I agree.
This is...

Speaker 7 This is a recent low. I was about to say all-time low, but no, we've been much, much worse than this before.

Speaker 1 Can you believe that like a couple of weeks ago you're thinking yoffs?

Speaker 7 That's what I just said.

Speaker 7 Four weeks ago, I was thinking yoffs. I did the schedule.

Speaker 1 I've seen some commanders fans tweet they'd rather have Sam Howell than Josh Allen.

Speaker 7 We're not going to go down that road.

Speaker 1 Did you see that, Commanders fans?

Speaker 7 You can't even say many people are saying. You have to say

Speaker 7 a person said that. Yeah.
This is a straw man argument. I reject the premise of your argument.

Speaker 1 Meanwhile, Josh Allen has like 500 yards of offense and almost takes the bills to a victory on his back.

Speaker 7 I do still think that Sam Howell's the guy.

Speaker 1 I do too. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 No, he has no.

Speaker 7 Our problems are not the offense. Our offensive line is so sass.

Speaker 7 But Sam Howell is not the problem at all. I actually, I think we're in a good position with Sam Howell.
This year, he's basically a rookie.

Speaker 7 He's now one and one all-time against the Cowboys, so that's good. But it's not his fault.
Like, the defense is historically bad, and the offensive line is very, very bad.

Speaker 7 And, yeah, I think we're in a good position because

Speaker 7 he's not counting for much money against the cap. We're going to get Bill Belichick.
It's going to be fine.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Everything's going to be fine.
Yeah. Everything's going to be fine.
All right. Next game, Thursday night.

Speaker 1 It was, yeah, it was just, you know, the Lions Packers game was close, but it was, the Lions scored late to make it close.

Speaker 1 The majority of the games, or felt like the majority of gameplay, was in blowouts because the Niners kicked the shit out of the Seahawks

Speaker 1 31-13. The Niners are all the way back.
They, like, Brock Purdy didn't even have like his, you know, it wasn't like Brock Purdy show. It was just their defense is awesome.

Speaker 1 Christian mccaffrey was just running all over everyone i

Speaker 7 niners are really like next week niners eagles is going to be awesome yeah i'm i'm actually thinking that brock purdy had a very good game though he did but like statistically it wasn't his best game but he made some throws where i i my only note that i wrote down on this game when i was watching it was a simple question is brock purdy now a gunslinger oh has he transition has he transitioned from being a game manager a guy that won't lose you a game um to like you know then he was a system quarterback for a little bit, and then he went and got so much Moxie that I think he might be part gunslinger.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I'm not saying that he was bad. I'm saying that it wasn't like he was under 200 yards until that last touchdown pass to Brandon Ayuk, which was a great touchdown pass.

Speaker 1 I'm saying it wasn't, like Brock Purdy, it wasn't one of those 300-yard games where it's like, holy shit, Brock Purdy's hitting everyone.

Speaker 1 It was Chris McCaffrey just running it down their face and their defense being unbelievable.

Speaker 7 Yeah,

Speaker 7 I think that Brock, though, is he's evolving in front of our very eyes.

Speaker 1 He might be a gunslinger. He didn't throw a pick six.
That is a sign of a gunslinger.

Speaker 7 Exactly. It's part of the deal.
The neon green jerseys did play at night. I like the look of that at night.

Speaker 7 It sucks when you're getting your ass kicked and you're wearing a jersey like that, but

Speaker 7 it was at least visually entertaining for America while they were coming down from a food coma. I think the Seahawks are in deep, deep trouble.

Speaker 1 They might be. Like, Geno does not look right, and then having to go at the Cowboys, at the 49ers next two weeks.

Speaker 1 They're in deep trouble. Yeah.
It feels like this is going to

Speaker 1 what they thought was a promising season, I was kind of buying them earlier this season, it has derailed, and now they have to start saying, oh, we probably need to find a quarterback.

Speaker 7 Well, it's nice when you have Kenneth Walker running the football for you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And it's not nice when you don't.

Speaker 7 It's not nice when you don't at all. The Seahawks are,

Speaker 7 I think the Seahawks are a perfectly average team capable of having like spurts of good. They'll have like a

Speaker 7 game or two per season where they are like they beat a team that they shouldn't beat, and then they'll have a game or two where they lose to a team that they shouldn't lose to.

Speaker 7 But they're just they're they are what they are.

Speaker 1 Perfectly average team. I'm just looking right now too because they have six wins.
The Lions win was a good win.

Speaker 1 And then their other five wins are against the Panthers, the Giants, the Cardinals, the Commanders, and that Browns game that they probably shouldn't have won that

Speaker 1 they did win. Yeah.
That's not exactly Murderer's row.

Speaker 1 No, I think that they are like the completely average the Panthers, Giants, Panthers, Giants, Cardinals, commanders are four of the worst teams in the NFL. Yep.

Speaker 1 So yeah, maybe I'm not buying the Seahawks as much.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 7 You know what you're doing, though. You're writing Geno off.
I am right.

Speaker 1 I will absolutely write Geno off. I'm going to take the Cowboys on Thursday night when they're at home against the Seahawks.

Speaker 7 Man, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 14 When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts. That's where Snickers comes in, man.

Speaker 14 That thing is packed: roasted peanuts, nuggets, caramel, milk, chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 14 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 14 Snickers satisfies, man.

Speaker 13 That's a winning play.

Speaker 1 Black Friday.

Speaker 1 What a game that was. What a game that was.
Dolphins 34, Jets 13.

Speaker 1 We had

Speaker 1 maybe the craziest play. I don't remember a play happening like that where the Jets tried to throw a Hail Mary at the end of half, and Javon Holland returned at 99 yards.

Speaker 1 And you could make the argument that the reason why that happened was because their shitty quarterback that they benched, that they drafted two overall,

Speaker 1 was not in the game. And Tim Boyle was starting the game because Tim Boyle doesn't have the arm strength to get it all the way into the end zone.

Speaker 7 Well, Tim Boyle was starting the game because his name is not Zach Wilson. So you're like, okay, we're going to try somebody who's not Zach and see if that helps at all.

Speaker 7 It was a good strategy because I think we know there's enough body of evidence as to what Zach Wilson is.

Speaker 1 I think we know what Tim Boyle is.

Speaker 7 Now we know for sure. Yeah.
But at least he's bad, but not in the same ways that Zach Wilson is bad.

Speaker 1 That was an all-time Jets moment. Yeah.
All-time Jets moment. Memes, I mean, you were probably watching it with your dad.
We were screaming. We were yelling.

Speaker 1 So I was at a bar with probably 100 Jets fans, and we thought they were going to take a knee, and then you just see him running down the field, and everybody just starts screaming, oh no, it's happening.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, it's happening.

Speaker 1 Tim Boyle gets his ankles broken, and they're like, oh, my God. And the bartender's just like, the fucking Jets.
And it just, every single week.

Speaker 7 Al Michaels couldn't even believe it. Al Michaels like woke up from his coma and he had a little, he had a little spice in his voice when he was announcing that one.

Speaker 7 Memes, in a weird way, is the best part of your week every week when the Philadelphia Eagles win a game because you can be like, we're the only team that beat them.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you got to hope they go 17, what would it be 19 and 1? Yeah. Yeah, 19 and 1.
20 and 1? Yeah, and then who beat them?

Speaker 1 19 and 1, yeah. Yeah, it was like the Bengals when Mike White beat them and they went to the Super Bowl and you're like, oh,

Speaker 1 could have went to the Super Bowl. Yeah, we were there.
It was so Jets. And the Dolphins played very well.

Speaker 1 I mean, Tua wasn't even that good, but their defense, that's why I've been kind of switching my opinion on the Dolphins.

Speaker 1 I did have one crazy Dolphins fan try to clip that clip from like two months ago when I was like, the Jets right now could beat the Dolphins.

Speaker 1 I bet on the Dolphins on Friday. That was easy.

Speaker 1 Jalen Phillips, though, getting hurt is a big loss for them. And the MetLife Turf claims another six since 2020, which they changed the turf this year.

Speaker 7 But

Speaker 1 since 2020, there have been six ACL tears and three Achilles tears on the MetLife turf.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it's cursed. That's where the black cat was on that primetime game.

Speaker 1 I guess they do play double the game, so maybe that's skewed now that I'm thinking about it.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it's SoFi.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 7 That's what we need to do is match it up head-to-head. So-Fi.
SoFi.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But either way, that turf sucks.
Yeah, that one you just pushed off. It just snapped.
Yeah. Memes, I got a question for you.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 How much of the blame on this season do you put on Aaron Rodgers?

Speaker 1 I was thinking about it.

Speaker 1 On his Achilles or Aaron Rodgers himself?

Speaker 1 I'm thinking Aaron Rodgers himself. And listen,

Speaker 1 I'm a reformed Aaron Rodgers hater. I no longer hate him.
But

Speaker 1 I'm starting to just toss around the idea that him saying that he's going to come back this year might have hurt the Jets a little bit in the fact that they didn't go out and try to get another QB.

Speaker 1 They are dealing with Nathaniel Hackett as the OC,

Speaker 1 and they also have a roster full of guys, Tim Boyle being one of them, that are his friends, that he had everyone sign.

Speaker 1 Did Aaron Rodgers hold you guys hostage this year?

Speaker 1 He might have held us hostage. He might have.
And Packers fans are nodding along.

Speaker 7 They sound like Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 They're like, yep, yep.

Speaker 1 Alan Lazard was a healthy scratch this week.

Speaker 1 Randall Cobb hasn't played.

Speaker 1 Dalvin Cook. Tim Boyle is your backup.
Tim Boyle is the backup.

Speaker 7 You've spent all season talking about how you're going to go out and get Devontae Adams later.

Speaker 1 Just like that carrot has been out there like he's going to come back. Like, if he had just said, Achilles, I'm out.

Speaker 1 Does the Jets season look a little bit different? Do they get more aggressive? And this is probably more of a Joe Douglas-Robert Salah problem than Aaron Rodgers. But I just was thinking about it.

Speaker 1 I was thinking about it.

Speaker 7 I think it might come from the top down.

Speaker 7 I think it might be old Woody.

Speaker 1 Is everyone going to to get fired?

Speaker 7 Woody might be involved in this because I think Woody, maybe it was Joe Douglas. I don't know.

Speaker 7 I'm not privileged to these conversations, but I feel like they didn't replace Zach Wilson because of an instruction for the top.

Speaker 7 Because if you're Robert Sala and you watch Zach Wilson play quarterback, I hope you're not dumb enough to think like maybe this guy could be the answer.

Speaker 1 But the backup was Tim Boyle. Yeah, but they didn't go and get someone else.

Speaker 7 That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 I think that they wanted to put all their faith in Zach Wilson and not have, you know, he might be the kind of guy that doesn't doesn't do well when a clearly better player is on the roster with him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you can't even think like that.

Speaker 7 I know, but I'm saying that's, I have a feeling that it came from, that's not Sala's choice. I don't think.

Speaker 7 If it is, if Robert Sala truly thought that Zach Wilson was going to be good enough to keep them in playoff contention until Aaron Rodgers got back on his own, Robert Salah should be fired. Right.

Speaker 1 But the biggest problem in the whole conversation is until Aaron Rodgers comes back, why did you,

Speaker 1 why was that always the plan?

Speaker 7 Yeah. Do you think Aaron Rodgers wants to come back even if they're not in playoff contention?

Speaker 1 Definitely not.

Speaker 7 You don't think there's a small portion

Speaker 1 that wants to be like, look at me.

Speaker 7 I'm the one that came back from Achilles in three months. Maybe.

Speaker 1 I'm still buying the Jets long term because if Aaron Rodgers is back, like, this team would be very good if Aaron Rodgers was quarterbacking for him. That's a fact.

Speaker 1 Their defense, and we talked about it on whatever it was day we did the preview, like their defense quit because they know, like, as soon as that 99-yard interception gets returned, their defense played well in the first half.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the game is over. And the game's over, and

Speaker 1 your defense goes into every game being like, if we give up 10 points, the game's over. And that's got to be the you can't play defense like that.

Speaker 7 Didn't they interview Robert Salah right after that Hail Mary interception pick six?

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was like, like on his way to the locker room.

Speaker 7 Yeah, like, what do you say if you're Robert Salah, like, well, fuck, that's the first time that's ever happened in a game.

Speaker 1 Do you want everyone fired? Fresh start,

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 but you got to.

Speaker 1 It's just such a confusing process because

Speaker 1 Robert Sala had the opportunity to switch him all the entire season. Just didn't.

Speaker 1 I'm just so confused by this entire Jets team.

Speaker 7 How did Izzy do?

Speaker 1 Robert Sala said after the game that Izzy, his pass protection is what's holding him back.

Speaker 1 Somebody shared a clip of Dalvin Cook, and three guys just run right by him sacking.

Speaker 1 I did bet Izzy to score a touchdown again, you motherfucker. Well, you did that to me.

Speaker 1 He was very good in the preseason.

Speaker 1 I have a good stat for you, Memes.

Speaker 1 You ready for it? I'm ready. Okay, the Jets,

Speaker 1 this is from our friend Stadhole. The Jets broke their streak of 17 straight third-down plays that didn't convert for first down.
They had 17 in a row

Speaker 1 dating back to the game before.

Speaker 1 That's pretty cool. They broke the streak.
Yeah, that's cool. Well, here's the other part of the stat.
They actually, 17 is actually tied for the most third-down

Speaker 1 attempts that didn't convert for a first down with two other teams in the NFL this year. So you're not the worst.

Speaker 7 Who are the other two teams, Piccadilly?

Speaker 1 That would be the New England Patriots and the Washington Commanders. Okay.
So now is that happy? Yeah, that's a little better. Yeah, that's pretty good.
17 straight third downs. It's a lot.

Speaker 1 That's a lot of third-downs.

Speaker 7 There's nothing worse than that because you're getting to third down a lot. Yeah.
And nothing's happening. Yeah.
It's bad. It's bad.
I feel bad for you, memes.

Speaker 7 I feel happy for Jake, though, because the Dolphins do look like they are a legit team now.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, Jalen Phillips is going to hurt a lot because, like, Bradley Chubb was getting a lot of one-on-ones.
Like,

Speaker 1 that sucks. That sucks.
I really was starting to feel good about the Dolphins as a team because of their defense was coming along and looking really good. And now, I don't know.

Speaker 13 Yeah, listen, they have a chance to really get in a groove here. They have Commanders, Titans, Jets.

Speaker 13 There's a a very good chance they're 11-3 heading into Christmas.

Speaker 7 Jay, can you finish me off? Can you just take care of Ron for me? The Cowboys got me off.

Speaker 1 I feel like at this point

Speaker 13 they're not going to fire him mid-season.

Speaker 1 It would have been this weekend.

Speaker 7 If you hang 100 on Riverboat Ron's defense, he will be fired.

Speaker 7 Please. Yeah?

Speaker 1 Oh, I would take 100, yeah. 100?

Speaker 7 It would just be cool to see 100 points. 100 would be awesome.

Speaker 13 Also, people are saying Dolphins haven't beaten a good team. They've now put 70 up on a team that is right on the cusp of being in the playoffs.

Speaker 7 That was those Broncos.

Speaker 1 Yeah, those are those Broncos.

Speaker 7 Those Broncos are different.

Speaker 1 These Broncos. Right, but they.

Speaker 7 No, you can't do that, Jake. That's those Broncos.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Very different Broncos.

Speaker 1 The Dolphins are good on the team.

Speaker 7 I actually think these Dolphins might be better than those Dolphins that put up 70 points.

Speaker 1 I've taken the Dolphins off Fraud Watch.

Speaker 1 We'll see when they play the Cowboys in a month

Speaker 1 if Fraud Watch comes back. Like if they get killed by the Cowboys, then it's back to Fraud Watch.
Yeah. But right now,

Speaker 1 I'm high on the Dolphins.

Speaker 13 And now with the division, with the Bills losing today,

Speaker 13 it's opening up.

Speaker 7 I still have the Dolphins on Frog Watch, but you can earn your way off. So

Speaker 7 if they stick to their details, if they show me some improvement, signs of improvement, then I'm willing to take them off Frog. But they have to beat the Cowboys.
But they're still on there.

Speaker 7 I just want to say that I think that they've shown enough where I'm willing to consider their application for

Speaker 7 what's the word I'm looking for? That's the opposite of

Speaker 7 relegation from advanced

Speaker 7 promotion. I'm willing to accept their application for promotion.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Okay. Did you guys see Alex Smith just like completely dunking on Rex Ryan by accident today?

Speaker 7 Yeah, I saw him. Well, he was also kind of dunking on Hank, too, with that.
He made a lot of interesting points.

Speaker 1 Tom Brady said that the league is mediocre right now.

Speaker 1 Listen, we watch every Sunday. There's not great quarterback.
There's been a lot of quarterback injuries. Not great quarterback play going on right now.

Speaker 1 But Alex Smith was like, Tom Brady, you played in the weakest division every single year, and like Rex Ryan's sitting right next to him, coach of the Jets and the Bills.

Speaker 1 And he was just like, fuck, dude, what are you doing?

Speaker 7 But Rex even had to be like, he's making some good points.

Speaker 7 He understood, like, the Jets were very bad, with the exception of, what, like, two years?

Speaker 7 And the Bills were pretty bad the entire time. The Dolphins were pretty bad the entire time.
The Patriots pretty much had six games in hand before the season even kicked off.

Speaker 1 And Tom Brady has thrown Hank a lifeline because Hank walked in today. He was like, I agree with Tom Brady.
The league stinks right now. Yeah, we want to win.

Speaker 1 The Patriots suck. You're like, yeah, you know what? Who would even want to win the Super Bowl this year?

Speaker 7 It's kind of tainted. This sucks.

Speaker 3 No, I mean, a Super Bowl wins a Super Bowl win, but we watch every game, like you said, and there's some ugly, ugly football.

Speaker 1 There's some ugly football. There's some ugly football.

Speaker 15 Ball's here. Kids are back in school.
Vacations are over. And Cozy season is officially on.
You know what that means? Bombas season is on.

Speaker 15 Bombas makes the most comfortable socks ever, and they even make slippers, tees, underwear, all crafted from premium materials. Perfect for this time of year and cozying up for football watching.

Speaker 15 Their slippers are also Sherpa lined, which feels like you're walking on the clouds.

We had an awesome, awesome game in in the early slate. Jaguars, 24, Texans, 21.
We should do that thing, PFT. We're like,

Speaker 1 is this the future Manning versus Brady? Yeah, no. Lawrence versus Stroud.
Oh, man, we're in for a treat. We get this for the next decade.

Speaker 7 I'm excited about it. I am, too, actually.
It does seem like a good rivalry that started. And Trevor Lawrence had a great quote when they asked him about it after the game.

Speaker 7 They're like, do you enjoy playing against great teams in your own division and building up that rivalry? He was like, no, I wish that every other team in my division stunk. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That'd be the the best.

Speaker 7 But if we're doing, I'm willing to expand it to the entire division, big cat.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 7 I'm willing to say that the AFC South.

Speaker 7 The Young Guns? That is the future conference of quarterbacks. The Young Guns.
The Young Guns. Levis.

Speaker 1 Mark Minshew.

Speaker 7 Yeah, Minshew, Anthony Richardson, double two-headed monster, and then Stroud and Lawrence. This game was awesome.
It was very fun. I was impressed with both teams.
Trevor Lawrence looked very good.

Speaker 1 Trevor Lawrence looked good.

Speaker 7 Yeah, and he was using his legs again, which is good to see. CJ Stroud also looked incredible, though.
Like, this was,

Speaker 7 I think, the Texans were probably four inches from winning this game, right, on that field goal, bounced off the perfect center of the upright and doinked off.

Speaker 7 And it was because Stroud.

Speaker 1 He was going to overtime, yeah.

Speaker 7 Yeah, yeah. Stroud took a bad sack there at the end of the game, backed him up a little bit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Josh Allen was awesome.

Speaker 7 Josh Allen was great. He had how many pressures? I think he had 12 pressures today.
He was everywhere. Which is insane.
And most of those came against Laramie Tunsell, who's an awesome player.

Speaker 7 So I am very excited to watch the Jags and the Texans play for the next 30 years.

Speaker 1 So CJ Stroud was good.

Speaker 1 CJ Stroud is like maybe too comfortable in the pocket.

Speaker 1 There were times where he was just kind of hanging out. And like, it's crazy to watch.
He processes. He's that good.
He's just like, yeah, I'm just going to stand here. I'm good.

Speaker 1 I know where everyone is on the field. I don't have to worry about it.
But the Jaguars are the story. The Jaguars take a stranglehold on the AFC South.
They are 8-3. They are legit.

Speaker 1 This was a big road win for them when it felt like everyone was like Texans, Texans, Texans.

Speaker 1 The only thing I'd say about the Jaguars, and Jaguars fans know this, their red zone offense continues to be like just so confusing.

Speaker 1 It feels like they're able to move the ball, then they get to the red zone, and shit just breaks down. Throws are late.
Like Trevor Lawrence missed Evan Ingram where he just threw it late.

Speaker 1 And that is one of those, when you look through the season, you have like little things that you look to and you're like, ooh, this might be a problem later.

Speaker 1 And I think that might be the problem later unless they figure it out. Here's a tip.

Speaker 7 Calvin Ridley's awesome. Yeah.
Throwing the ball to him in the red zone. And that would be a good strategy.
They have a 93% chance to win the AFC South right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, they're a good team.

Speaker 7 So they're a very good team. I actually thought that the Texans should have gone for it on that 4th and 12.
That's how good C.J.

Speaker 7 Stroud was playing at the end of the game, where they sent Amandola out to try a 58-yarder. I was like, are you sure they're not going to go for it here?

Speaker 1 He also looked like he kicked it way too casually.

Speaker 7 He hit it too high. Yeah.
He got too much air underneath it, and I think he knew the second that it happened. But I don't think you could have put it more in the center of the uprights.

Speaker 7 It was a crazy kick.

Speaker 1 The other part of this game that I thought the Texans kind of lost it, even though it didn't end up, I think the Jaguars missed a field goal.

Speaker 1 But there was that confusing sequence when the Texans had third and one and they went past deep pass, and then they had fourth and one on, I think it was their own 45, and they went another deep pass when they needed one yard.

Speaker 1 It was like, what are you guys doing? Yeah. Like, maybe falling a little bit too in love with how awesome CJ Stroud is, and he is awesome, but that one made no sense to me.

Speaker 7 Yeah, the game also could have been a lot different if at the end of the first half they got some points. The Jaguars got points.

Speaker 7 They went for it with virtually no time remaining, and the Texans just bowed up on defense. That was

Speaker 7 it felt like it changed the momentum.

Speaker 1 By the way, I agree with the call.

Speaker 7 I liked it.

Speaker 1 Oh, I like it. I don't like going for it at the end of the half when you don't get the benefit of flipping the field.
I like going for fourth and one on the one-yard line if

Speaker 1 the penalty of not getting it is that the other team has to start their drive on the one-yard line. I just like coaches.
They feel like you usually get a punt back and you get good field position.

Speaker 7 You lose that benefit, but I also like coaches that say if we can do it.

Speaker 7 If we can't get a yard, we don't deserve to win this football game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Doug Peterson is going to do that 100 times out of 100.

Speaker 1 I just, the math, and I'm not a big math guy, but I like, I always, whenever you go for it on fourth fourth and one from the one-yard line, you don't get it. You're like, all right, at least safety.

Speaker 7 We're about to get a safety. Yeah, you have that benefit.
But

Speaker 7 I like the aggressiveness, and I like believing in your offense at the end of the half and being like, okay, let's step on their throats.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but the Jaguars are good. The Jaguars are good.
Pete Prisco was right. We have to give Pete Prisco credit.
Pete Prisco is right. The Jaguars are eight and three.

Speaker 1 Very much in the conversation for the one seed, even though they did lose to the Chiefs. Did they play the Ravens? They have not played the Ravens yet.

Speaker 1 They play the Ravens in a couple weeks, which will be a big game. I think this is a Sunday night game.
Yeah, that will be a big game for the potential one seed.

Speaker 1 But yeah, the Jaguars are very good, and they will almost, what do you say, 93%?

Speaker 1 93% chance. And now they're looking for that one seed.

Speaker 7 I'm just trying to do the math on this. On a two-point conversion,

Speaker 7 teams make it, what, like, around, it's between like 50 and 30 points. Depending on the offense,

Speaker 7 depending on the offense. If it's at the one-yard line, you would think that that would be quite a bit higher, like 60% of the the time, right? Right.

Speaker 7 So if a touchdown and extra points were seven points, you could figure that's probably worth around four points, 3.7 points or whatever per time.

Speaker 1 You lost me, but I keep going.

Speaker 7 And then a field goal is worth three. That's not totally automatic.
It's like 99% of the time if you kick it from the one.

Speaker 7 So I feel like the math does favor going for it on the one-yard line at the end of that half. Even though, you're right, getting the benefit of if you don't get it, you can still claw two points back.

Speaker 1 Or just get a punt.

Speaker 1 If you stop them, you get a great plus field position on your next drop that's big i just i like the aggressiveness from doug doug's gonna do what doug's gonna do he was gonna do it uh all right next up the indianapolis colts who if the season ended right this second would be in the playoffs yeah beat the bucks 2720.

Speaker 7 it was uh the colts are they're just a fun team to watch and Everything's starting to look good for the Colts.

Speaker 1 Jonathan Taylor looks like old Jonathan Taylor. He was just running through people, getting the second level.
He had a couple couple touchdowns.

Speaker 1 I, I, like, they're not super flashy, but they just win games. I do think the Bucs stink.
I think the Bucs stink.

Speaker 1 I know that I am biased because we have a co-worker who refuses to admit the fact the Bucs stink, even though Baker Mayfield's a tough motherfucker and he's just like continues to try to just piece everything together.

Speaker 1 The Bucks do stink, but the Colts are six and five in the seventh seed right now. No one thought that was going to happen.
I think

Speaker 7 there was a chance they hang on to it, too.

Speaker 1 What was their preseason win total?

Speaker 7 We just have to remember, here's what's happening right now. I can feel it happening in real time.
Baker Mayfield is very good at home. Yeah.

Speaker 7 And he's not, or sorry, not Baker Mayfield Mincho is very good.

Speaker 1 Kind of the same guy.

Speaker 7 He's not that great on the road. So that we always fall in love with Gardner when he wins a game because he's fun to watch, and it's electric watching him when he's playing well.

Speaker 7 And we forget that the bad with Gardner can be pretty bad. Yeah.
But the Colts, I guess they probably control their own destiny.

Speaker 1 Their over-under for preseason over-under was six and and a half.

Speaker 7 Yeah. Six and a half.

Speaker 1 Good team. I mean, they're just good.
And they have some very winnable games coming up on their schedule. Like, I was looking at it, and I think

Speaker 1 a reasonable estimation is like the Colts getting to nine, possibly 10 wins, which is crazy. This is Shane Steichen, coach of the year.
Yeah, him. Coach of the year.

Speaker 7 Mike Tomlin.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's crazy.

Speaker 7 I always have to mention Tomlin.

Speaker 1 Like, losing your first-round pick, whatever, two games into the season, and and being sitting here in the end of November and being in the playoffs, it's nuts. He's a really good coach.

Speaker 7 Did you see what happened with Shaq Barrett this week?

Speaker 1 Yeah, he retired and came to the game.

Speaker 7 No, so he didn't retire, actually. It was phrased very weird.
I think it came out on Tuesday, and it just said, like, thank you for everything that you've done for us, Shaq.

Speaker 7 And it was a message from the Colts' organization. And then the story came out that they cut him, but it made it seem like either he was

Speaker 7 retired, asked for his release, or died. It was like a very somber message that they sent out.
And then they ended up waiving him.

Speaker 7 He cleared waivers, and then he went to the game and watched a suite, watched from a suite in the Colts Stadium.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, what's going on?

Speaker 7 I don't know what's going on with that. Also, I don't know how he cleared waivers because I feel like there's enough teams out there that need a linebacker.

Speaker 7 I know that his back's not great, but it was a really weird situation.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we also had Jim Urce getting into a battle with, I think, first take on Tuesday. He was very upset.
He was very, very upset. He was, let's see,

Speaker 1 first take, you're going to get your ass sued because there was no alcohol, no illegal drugs. $29,000 is low for me to be carrying in 2014 arrest.

Speaker 1 I give away $2,000 to $10,000 to the homeless and needed on the street all the time and pass it on, making the world better.

Speaker 1 And they said, and on first take, the woman that preceded Stephen A, how dare you pretend to know me? I don't know your name. I don't care to.

Speaker 1 If my black mother, Dorothy, was still alive, you'd be in some big hot water. You are mean and ugly.
You are a nothing burger.

Speaker 7 Shout out his black mom, Dorothy.

Speaker 1 Dorothy Bloodsaw was my black mom. She carried me in the house in Lincolnwood, Illinois on 1959, June, and raised me in the light of Christ.
I would be dead if not for her unconditional love.

Speaker 1 She showed me that Jesus was my Savior. I owe everything to her.
Yeah, he went on a real.

Speaker 7 He said he pulled like some of my best parents are black.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He went on a weird tweet.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was mad at first take. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Well, I'm going to take Mr.

Speaker 1 He's an emoji guy, too. Oh, a big time emerging emerging emergency.
Big-time emoji.

Speaker 7 So I've got, naturally, I have notifications on for every Jim Ursay tweet, and they're 99% just emojis that he uses to quote tweet stuff with.

Speaker 7 I guess he's talking about the arrest where he had like $36,000 in a bag, and then I think there might have been some prescription drugs, which aren't technically illegal. Right.

Speaker 7 Which might be the point that he's disputing on that one. Regardless, I'm just going to be on Team Ursa on this one.
Yeah. Team Ursa.
I just feel like, Jim, I owe you.

Speaker 1 It was, yeah, I think it was the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and he was just going on a tweet storm.

Speaker 1 Remember when he got pulled over, too? He was like, billionaires get profiled? Yeah. He was like in a RAV 4.

Speaker 7 It's true. It's very true.

Speaker 1 He was sweatpants on.

Speaker 7 I also think he was parked in the median. Yeah.
Which might have had something to do with him getting pulled over.

Speaker 1 Billionaires do get profiled. Yeah.
It's bullshit.

Speaker 1 I agree.

Speaker 1 But yeah, the Colts are good. I'm high on the Colts.
It's got to feel good to be a Colts fan. Be like, not only are we in the playoffs right now, but our first-round pick hasn't played.

Speaker 1 We still have that going in our back pocket.

Speaker 7 Yeah, when a backup quarterback comes in and you guys are above 500, that's the mark of a franchise that seems to be in good hands.

Speaker 1 Shane Steichen. Mr.
Ursa. Shane Steichen, coach of the year.
All right. Next one.

Speaker 1 Falcons 24, Saints, 16.

Speaker 1 The NFC South leading Atlanta Falcons at 5-6.

Speaker 1 They are 5-6.

Speaker 1 Not to pat ourselves on the back, but I think we did talk about this, that this is where the Falcons are going to maybe string off a couple wins and take the NFC South.

Speaker 7 Yeah, and Arthur Smith,

Speaker 7 he took Bijan out of the doghouse.

Speaker 1 I think you can say

Speaker 7 he's officially outside now, right? Yeah. Bijan is maybe, he's close to being off the leash.

Speaker 1 19 touches, 123 yards, two touchdowns.

Speaker 1 He's going.

Speaker 7 He's awesome. I would like to see him as a bell cow.
I want to see him just carry the ball as as much as possible.

Speaker 1 This is what we were saying all along. He was waiting till football season really started.
After Thanksgiving is when you start running your running back.

Speaker 7 Well, so he comes from Tennessee, right? Yeah. Arthur Smith, tractor Ceto season.

Speaker 7 He's using that blueprint right now in Atlanta.

Speaker 7 Yeah, the Falcons, listen, the division is five and six. It's shit mountain in the NFC South, and they're the

Speaker 7 King Turd that's on top. And I think that they've got the best layout for holding on to that until

Speaker 7 the playoffs. So I do like their chances.

Speaker 7 Arthur Smith said that the Falcons' six remaining games are going to feel like six lifetimes. I think that's probably true because it seems like the Falcons...
You're not going to blow anybody out.

Speaker 1 They play the Panthers and Bears.

Speaker 7 I don't know if they're built for a blowout, though. That's the thing about the Falcons.
Their defense

Speaker 1 is usually pretty good.

Speaker 7 Yeah, but it was all

Speaker 7 nine.

Speaker 7 It never felt like the Falcons were completely in control of that game. Yeah.
It felt like it was close.

Speaker 7 24-15. I said 16.

Speaker 1 That's my fault. Yeah, well, the Saints.
I'm so, we do this every week. I'm so sick of the Saints.

Speaker 7 Get out of my face. But I think I love Taysom Hill now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, although Jesse Bates, like, was, he had the two plays.

Speaker 1 He forced the fumble on Taysom Hill, and he had the pick six on Derek Carr, which if you are going to play Derek Carr and he's going to throw pick sixes like that, put in Jameis Winston.

Speaker 1 Jameis Winston is way more fun.

Speaker 7 Jameis would have at least done a better job trying to make the tackle.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Shane, can you pass me some Tums?

Speaker 12 I'm struggling.

Speaker 7 They also, the Falcons moved their offensive coordinator to the booth. So he's now watching the game from above

Speaker 7 because he thought that it would help Ritter with what he got to see up top. So, again, this is not something that I think I've ever heard of

Speaker 7 until Hackett did it for the Jets. Yeah.
But moving a coordinator up into the booth, that's got to be the best promotion ever. Come on, walk around.
Shout out to him for getting that done.

Speaker 1 Shane, he needs some too. He needs some tums too.
Oh, no, he's got to change that. Yeah, I like moving the offensive coordinator up and down.
Yeah. Back and forth.
Who do you got?

Speaker 7 A team of Corderelle Pattersons or a team of Taysom Hills?

Speaker 1 Taysom. Corderelle doesn't pass.

Speaker 7 Yeah, but he's faster.

Speaker 1 He is faster.

Speaker 7 I think a team of Corderell's on defense would kind of neutralize Taysom's on offense.

Speaker 1 My body is so broken.

Speaker 7 But then also, Taysom Hill would like the fuck up out of Corderelle Patterson on defense. I just got like a flash of heartburn.

Speaker 1 And I really haven't eaten today. I think your body's broken.

Speaker 7 30 to 30 tie.

Speaker 3 What did you eat in the past four days?

Speaker 1 Everything.

Speaker 1 So bad.

Speaker 1 I'm like,

Speaker 1 I'm literally like, this is.

Speaker 1 People think that podcasting is easy. It's not.

Speaker 1 My body's a dumpster right now. It's a garbage disposal.

Speaker 1 If you split me open, it would just be like stuffing and just gross things just coming out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Corderelle Patterson's really fast. Yeah.
Sorry, I'm literally like about to have a heart attack.

Speaker 7 It'd be a real shame. It would be a real shame.
Imagine the numbers.

Speaker 1 It would be great numbers. I promise you this, if I have a heart attack, I'll do it on show.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I will. I'll time it and I'll do it on air.

Speaker 7 I hope that you don't. But if you did.

Speaker 1 No, listen.

Speaker 1 If I could have a heart attack that I

Speaker 1 survive, I hope I do have it on air. That would be electric.
I was just like, guys, anyone else not be able to feel their left arm right now?

Speaker 7 It'd be way worse if you went home and had a heart attack. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Yeah. It would be, we're closer to the hospital right here.
That's why I'm saying it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Jake is cringing at this, but as long as you're okay at the end, right, exactly. I'm saying a minor heart attack.
It's not a big deal. I mean, people have minor heart attacks all the time.

Speaker 7 Big cat recording an episode of Part of My Take from a Hospital like Hugh Freeze in a bed. Yeah.
Would be

Speaker 1 also great for numbers. No days off.
All right. I think I've, I think the three tums have settled me down to the point where whatever was happening to my body just a minute ago is no longer happening.

Speaker 1 Good. It might have been just having to talk about the NFC South.

Speaker 1 That might, it might, my body's like, don't do this. Don't do it again.
You've said this every single week that you're sick of the Saints.

Speaker 1 My body is literally revolting. It's saying it will not take the Saints.

Speaker 7 The Saints are also pulling out every trick in the book. They're putting on like different uniforms, trying to look cooler.

Speaker 1 The helmets they wore today

Speaker 7 can't fool us. We know that you're the Saints.

Speaker 7 We know what happens underneath those uniforms. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's gross.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Next up. NFC South.
What are the odds right now for the Falcons with the NFC South? They're probably... I would imagine that they're like...

Speaker 1 It's the wrong time to bet on them now that they finally have taken over the NFC.

Speaker 7 They're probably minus 150.

Speaker 1 Ask yourself this. It's a simple question.

Speaker 1 Not like all rooting interests, all bias, everything aside. Which team would you like to see in a playoff game? And the answer is the Falcons.
I would like to see B. John Robinson in a playoff game.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's simple.

Speaker 7 Oh, the coolest thing about this game was Ludacris getting repelled from the rafters.

Speaker 1 Oh, yes.

Speaker 7 And landing at the 50-yard line like the stories foretold. He was singing Move, Bitch.

Speaker 7 That was amazing.

Speaker 7 That to me rivaled the Creed halftime performance. Granted, it wasn't on the national scale because it wasn't on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 But I fucking love Ludacris.

Speaker 7 Yeah. And that was incredible.

Speaker 1 The Saints right now are plus 115. They don't even have the Panthers listed.
Are they actually eliminated? I think they might be. No, they have to be.

Speaker 7 With 10 losses?

Speaker 1 No, they could.

Speaker 1 I guess because the other teams have to play each other. So there's.
Yeah, no, that someone's got to get wins. So I think they might be mathematically eliminated.

Speaker 7 We have

Speaker 7 or six more weeks. They've had their buy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, five more games.

Speaker 7 Okay, so they have five more games. Or no, they have six more games.

Speaker 7 Have they had their buy?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 7 That's the question. Jake, can you look up if the teams have gone?

Speaker 13 All four teams have played 11 games. They've all had their buys.

Speaker 1 Okay, they've all had their buys.

Speaker 7 One, two, three, four,

Speaker 7 six weeks left. They can only, yeah, they can get six more wins, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but what I'm saying is Atlanta and like Tampa have to play each other. Like, that has to happen.

Speaker 13 There could be like a tie scenario.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're eliminated. They're gone.
Yeah. They're gone.
All right. Steelers, Bengals.
Steelers 16, Bengals 10. The Steelers offense looked okay.
Unlocked. 400 yards of offense.

Speaker 1 First time in how many games, PFT?

Speaker 7 I know it was since 2020. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was since week two, 2020, 58 games. Yeah.
58 games.

Speaker 7 I was hoping that

Speaker 7 the Steelers would have a million yards, you know, put up like 400, 420 yards, and out gain the Bengals and then lose.

Speaker 7 That would have been awesome if now all of a sudden the Steelers' offense was good, except they just couldn't get the job done on the points department like they were in the past. But yeah,

Speaker 7 maybe it's not Kenny being unlocked. Maybe it's about Najee being unchained.
Well, because Najee Harris looked

Speaker 7 pretty good today.

Speaker 1 I was going to say, I actually thought the biggest difference was Pat Fryermuth getting passes in the middle of the field. They realized they could use the middle of the field.
He had over 100 yards.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Like that was,

Speaker 1 hey, look, we can actually throw in the middle of the field. This is allowed.
So, yeah, the Steelers' offense looks good. They didn't score a lot of points.

Speaker 1 They still struggled in the red zone, but their offense looked good. They moved the ball better than they have all season long.

Speaker 7 I also like Mike Tomlin after the game saying, guys like myself and Kenny,

Speaker 7 we're judged based on winning and losing, and we don't run from that. He and I are winners today.

Speaker 7 Basically, just saying, like, hey, whatever ugly stats you want to throw at us, we'll just take the ones that make us look good for wins and losses. The wins and loss.
I

Speaker 7 We have to have a national conversation about mouthpieces

Speaker 7 because

Speaker 7 it's been something that's been brewing up for a while.

Speaker 7 You notice it a lot when the Bills are playing because you got Diggs and Gabe Davis, and they have their mouthpieces that just hang down in front of their numbers the entire time.

Speaker 7 It seems like they flop up and get their field division sometimes, but whatever. That's an old man yelling at Cloud thing if you're that upset about a mouthpiece hanging out.

Speaker 7 Jamar Chase today

Speaker 7 had his mouthpiece in his hand during a play. Now, he made a catch, which is incredible.
That is incredible. He made a great sideline.

Speaker 1 Did he hold the mouthpiece while Dimitri?

Speaker 1 Yes. Well,

Speaker 7 he did not maintain possession of the mouthpiece through two steps in a football act. Not as incredible.

Speaker 7 So not a total catch, but he did have it in his hand when he made the catch and then dropped it after he secured the ball.

Speaker 7 What are we doing with mouthpieces now? Because I feel like they've become

Speaker 7 supposed to be in your mouth. They're an accessory now? Yeah.

Speaker 12 They're not handpieces.

Speaker 7 The safety.

Speaker 1 They do sound like old men.

Speaker 7 The safety on the Lions has it sticking out of his helmet.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 1 Can we just, kids, wear your mouthpiece. Or don't.

Speaker 7 You know what? You don't have to wear your mouthpiece. But if you don't wear your mouthpiece,

Speaker 7 why is it just hanging off your helmet?

Speaker 1 I blame Baby Gronk. I feel like he definitely doesn't put his mouthpiece in.
Steph Curry.

Speaker 7 Steph Curry. Yeah.
Problematic. Bad.

Speaker 7 Where are the heroes? Where are the real leaders of this generation?

Speaker 1 Yeah, we need someone to do an interview with their mouthpiece in after the game. Yep.
And just be like, this is what it is. This is where it should be.
The Bengals, their season's over, obviously.

Speaker 1 It ended when Joe Burrow was out for the year. Jake Browning, though, yeah, that wasn't, he wasn't good.

Speaker 7 No.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I don't, I love when a backup quarterback comes in and we start learning weird facts about them.

Speaker 1 And they're basically testing you to be like, how dumb of a gambler can you be like, will you bet on this based on this stupid backup quarterback fact?

Speaker 1 The fact that almost got me take the Bengals today was Jonah Williams was high school teammates with Jake Browning.

Speaker 1 I think they won some state championship wrestling together.

Speaker 1 He said that Jake Browning wants it so bad all spring and summer this year, he ate nothing but ground beef, salt, and honey.

Speaker 7 Why does that help you play football?

Speaker 1 I don't know, but that also doesn't like...

Speaker 1 You're just eating like steak?

Speaker 1 It's not that bad.

Speaker 7 Ground beef, salt, and honey.

Speaker 1 That sounds pretty good.

Speaker 7 Sounds like a diet that an actual bear would be on.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it also sounds like I would eat that. Maybe that's what I needed to get on.
But yeah, that was the fun.

Speaker 1 That really actually should be the test.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 how

Speaker 1 deep do you have to dig to get a fun fact about a backup quarterback? And then when you find out that they've been eating ground beef, salt, and honey, it's like, okay, this guy stinks.

Speaker 7 That sounds like a diet that a knockoff version of Andrew Tate would put you on. Yeah.
To like increase your testosterone and make you irresistible to women. It's like this is the diet that

Speaker 7 the American bison eats, and they're the strongest, most powerful animal known to man. Just eat honey from a tree and then lightly salt your meat.

Speaker 1 I need my backup quarterbacks. Like the good stats are like, this guy actually was a state champion javelin thrower or something.

Speaker 1 Did you know he actually got like D1 offers for basketball? Not, he just ate crappy food for an entire spring and summer. I'll do you one better.

Speaker 7 I'll just say, like, if he has four stars in front of his name coming out of high school, right, or better, right? That would be great because you're like,

Speaker 7 maybe there's something inside him in there somewhere. Wasn't he in the college football playoff?

Speaker 1 He was.

Speaker 1 He got blanked. Yeah.

Speaker 7 That's what they should just roll with that. Like, he got Washington to the college football playoff.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they got

Speaker 1 a first. All right, Jake Browning.
He was. He was a four-star.
There you go. Four-star recruit.
He was a four-star. So that's pretty good.

Speaker 1 And he eats ground beef, honey, and salt.

Speaker 1 Cool.

Speaker 1 All right, next game. Giants 10, Patriots 7.

Speaker 7 Oh, wait, wait. We should talk about Mike Tomlin and his Thanksgiving.
Oh, yeah. Mike Tomlin invited George Pickens over to his house for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 Which is probably why Deontay Johnson made one of the worst efforts I've ever seen on a fumble. That is going to be bad tape for him on Monday morning.

Speaker 7 So I went back and watched it. It's not just after the fumble, the entire play.
And it was the play after he dropped a touchdown. Yeah.
Where

Speaker 7 he was on the side of the field that the play was being run to. It was kind of up the middle, but it was still his side.
And he just stood up.

Speaker 7 Remember how like Jay Cutler, when they put him in and they like

Speaker 1 Wildcat offense?

Speaker 7 Yeah. He's out at wide receiver.
He just stood straight up. Yeah.
I'm not supposed to be out here.

Speaker 7 That's what Deontay Johnson looked like, where he just stood up and then he kind of walked towards the ball, saw the fumble, was like, Not my problem.

Speaker 1 Not my problem.

Speaker 7 Not my problem. That's somebody else's area of responsibility.
I'm on break right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but George Pickens was at Mike Tomlins Thanksgiving. Which I love.

Speaker 1 Incredible.

Speaker 7 I absolutely love that. And Mike Tomlin was probably just like, hey, George, just

Speaker 7 chill out. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Look, we're getting along right now.

Speaker 1 Just calm down. Yeah, we were saying that when George Pickens gets his first

Speaker 1 penalty in the game, Mike Tomlinson will be like, dude, we talked about this at Thanksgiving. Yeah, come on, George.
Come on. We went over this.

Speaker 7 And he looked better today, too. There were a couple times where he made a nice catch and defense is back on his face and George Pickens just walked away.

Speaker 1 So we need Deontay Johnson to go to Mike Tomlins' Christmas. Yeah, dude.
That's what we're saying. All right.
Next game. Giants 10, Patriots 7.

Speaker 1 Hank,

Speaker 1 you're a motherfucker. What? What?

Speaker 1 It's Thanksgiving. It's the holidays, guys.

Speaker 3 Positive vibes. I miss you guys.

Speaker 1 I don't know how you did this, but the Patriots have like, they're tanking correctly. Yeah.
It's crazy. They're so bad.
They're tanking correctly, which completely salvages your season.

Speaker 1 You're tanking correctly. Yeah, it was a great loss.
You're a terrible team.

Speaker 7 It was a very good loss.

Speaker 1 Mac Jones.

Speaker 1 Should we,

Speaker 1 I pose this question. Is Mac Jones so bad that we have to start feeling bad for him?

Speaker 1 Because he's so bad. He's so, so bad

Speaker 1 that I might start feeling like a little sad for him because his job is to play quarterback and he doesn't, he cannot play quarterback.

Speaker 7 I don't feel bad for Mac Jones at all. He went to Alabama.

Speaker 7 true he had a great all right this is good i don't want to feel bad for him either great career at alabama he he was a high first round pick sought after in the nfl he gets there he gets all these patriots

Speaker 7 probably has a hot girlfriend he gets all these patriots fans that are used to winning and success behind him off the bat being like look at us we've got our future quarterback the dynasty continues it rolls on I'm not sad for Mac Jones at all.

Speaker 1 All right, I just posed a question. I'm happy you brought me back down to Earth because there is a point when people get so bad at their job that you start to be like, damn, it's not his fault.

Speaker 1 Don't put him out there anymore, which I think they probably will stop putting him out there.

Speaker 7 And also, don't forget the fact that he tries to kick people in their penis and punches people in their parents

Speaker 1 repeatedly. Do you want to take those back now? You don't have to defend him anymore?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, he was a penis toucher.
You knew that all along. He was touching.
He was going for. I'm not playing.

Speaker 3 He's playing hard. If someone else does that in the future, they will be playing hard too for my team.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, you're tanking correctly.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, Mac Jones had some terrible throws. Bailey Zappi looked okay.

Speaker 3 This was, I was saying it in the fourth quarter that we were heading to Tyville.

Speaker 3 If the field goal had gone in, it definitely would have ended in a tie. Yep, yeah.
But I was happy it missed. Didn't have to watch overtime.
Didn't have to win. Better draft position.

Speaker 7 You lost to Tommy DeVito, which is kind of fun.

Speaker 1 Yeah, when it happens,

Speaker 1 I hate that. Oh, that

Speaker 1 I love that. I love it.

Speaker 1 His dad, so shout out Danny Boy Hustle Hard. He was with Tommy DeVito's dad today.
Tommy DeVito's, Danny Boy FaceTimed me on the stream, got to talk to Tommy DeVito's dad. He gave me one in real life.

Speaker 1 We're definitely.

Speaker 3 And for all the people that might not remember who Danny Boy Hustlehard is,

Speaker 1 everyone knows who Danny Boy Hustle Hard.

Speaker 1 He's a stand-up guy, great guy. He works with a lot of the players.
He picked up Antonio Brown from the stadium. Recurring guests.
Recurring guest, Danny Boy Hustle Hard.

Speaker 1 He's also close with our good friend Brooks Kepka. So he drives a lot of those guys around.
But yeah, we will get Tommy DeVito's dad on this show.

Speaker 7 That's a guarantee. It's not so bad losing to Tommy DeVito.
It's actually kind of fun. I don't mind losing to Tommy DeVito.
Let the Giants have their moment with him because he is like...

Speaker 7 He's a memory that Giants fans will have forever.

Speaker 1 This is fun.

Speaker 7 This is a core memory that's going to be stored in the minds. It's going to be the two Super Bowls with Eli Manning and then the Tommy DeVito era.

Speaker 7 They're going going to be the most memorable points for the Giants of the last 30 years.

Speaker 7 Let them have their fun because he is fun, and he sucked so bad when he first got in. We all thought there's no chance that this guy even gets a second chance getting onto the field.

Speaker 7 And he's actually played pretty decently. Won two starts.

Speaker 7 Well, now, granted, in this...

Speaker 1 Absolute stinker team. Yep, correct.

Speaker 1 The Giant Bull coach he won against.

Speaker 1 He's the first undrafted quarterback to beat Bill Belichick since Jake Deloma in 2005. Wow.

Speaker 7 And

Speaker 7 the Giants were the first team ever to win a game where they scored 10 or fewer points, got sacked six or more times, and had fewer than 20 rushing attempts. So this is a special win.

Speaker 1 There also wasn't a score until a minute and 53 left in the first half. That was the longest time it took for a score to happen this year.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it was tough. Hank.

Speaker 7 There have been a lot of lows for your Patriots this year, but in a weird way, I don't know if this was one of of them.

Speaker 1 This might have been a high because that's what I'm saying. That's why he's a motherfucker.

Speaker 7 He's the game. So, when we're looking back at all the historic lows that you've had this season, there's the Saints game.
You remember when you guys got shut out at home? There's that one. Oh, really?

Speaker 1 I don't even remember that.

Speaker 7 There was the Commanders' game. There was the Germany game.
There are quite a few games that have really stood out.

Speaker 1 But you see what I'm saying? Yeah. He's flipped it.
I know. The Patriots being like a four-win team would have been great for us to poke them.
Yeah. The Patriots are tanking correctly.

Speaker 1 They're going to be the second or maybe first pick. It's insane.
You're going to get Caleb Williams or Drake May.

Speaker 1 It's bullshit. Yeah, no, I understand.

Speaker 1 They're doing the like.

Speaker 3 I don't want Caleb Williams. I'll say it right now.
Really?

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 the fingernails? The crying? It's the cry.

Speaker 3 It's the wanting ownership.

Speaker 1 I don't think that was real. Crying.

Speaker 3 I have no problem with the fingernails, but I don't really have a problem with the crying. I just don't know.
I feel like there's

Speaker 3 character issues.

Speaker 1 Oh, character issues.

Speaker 7 Yeah, you know what's interesting because I think that the wanting ownership thing, that might have been a report from our good friend Mike Florio, who he trusts implicitly.

Speaker 1 Huh?

Speaker 3 Well, they've talked about it in games he's played.

Speaker 1 Right?

Speaker 7 The report, I believe, was from Mike Florio.

Speaker 1 All right, then maybe it's fan fiction.

Speaker 3 Or informed speculation, sorry. Informed speculation.
Me and Florio are good.

Speaker 1 Informed speculation.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Yeah, no, this is crazy that you were tanking correctly. Like, it just happened overnight where it was, like, oh, the Patriots are bad.
Ha ha, they're bad.

Speaker 1 And now it's like, no, no, no, they're so bad, they're doing this correctly.

Speaker 3 Yeah, just keep losing. Winning does nothing.

Speaker 7 I like how Belichick over the course of the week was just saying,

Speaker 7 I told every player on our team to be ready to play, and I'm not going to name a starter until the game. And then the game happens, and it's Mac Jones again.

Speaker 7 That was a very funny way to handle the whole week of like, is he going to start Bailey Zappi or not?

Speaker 1 So shout out to him.

Speaker 1 The Scooby-Doo meme.

Speaker 1 when he pulls the the the hood off he's like oh it's still mac jones surprise it's mac jones again guy and it probably will be next week too yep no i don't know i mean healy zappy didn't look that good he threw an interception

Speaker 1 a bad one but you don't want them to look that good yeah so mac jones is the tank commander true

Speaker 1 he looks so lost so so lost Yeah, I mean, he sees a little bit of pressure.

Speaker 3 He just throws the ball and forgets that there's

Speaker 3 11 guys on the other side that can catch it. It's facts.

Speaker 7 Oh, the interception he had today was so bad. So bad.

Speaker 7 There was somebody in his face and he threw the ball about like, this one was only probably like five yards short of the receiver and the linebacker or the DB was just like, yeah, thank you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no,

Speaker 1 he throws interceptions where you're like, was he, did he think that guy was on his team?

Speaker 1 Because he throws it where it would be like the cornerback is running a perfect route to catch the ball as a wide receiver, but he's a cornerback.

Speaker 3 Yeah, just wherever, once you see someone running at him, he just throws it. It's like, fuck it.
He doesn't know where.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's going to. I'm not playing quarterback how we would play quarterback.

Speaker 7 He's going to complete a pass to somebody.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And he does throw a very interceptable ball because he puts a lot of air under it. Yeah.

Speaker 7 It's super catchable. It's like he's being punished for being too good of a quarterback.

Speaker 1 So yeah, you should keep him in. Yeah.

Speaker 1 What is that? Tommy DeBito. Yeah, you don't like that?

Speaker 1 It's

Speaker 1 anti-Italian. That's Italian discrimination you're doing right now.
They can't talk with their hands?

Speaker 7 I don't think Hank can do that because you don't have any Italian blood. When you do it, it's a slur.

Speaker 1 Irish.

Speaker 7 When I do it, it's for my people.

Speaker 1 It's a little much. Okay.
But it's fine.

Speaker 1 You might be a little upset that Tommy DeVito beats you.

Speaker 3 It's embarrassing, but that's just the season. This is living like a loser.

Speaker 7 Is your Super Bowl now the last game of the season against the Jets?

Speaker 1 Memes.

Speaker 3 My Super Bowl is the end of the last game of of the season, so I don't have to

Speaker 7 but I still feel like as much as you want to tank, you're still going to want to beat the Jets.

Speaker 3 If it's close, no.

Speaker 3 If winning or losing

Speaker 3 has us at the first or like fifth pick, I want to lose.

Speaker 1 Memes was talking, like the Patriots just played. Memes is a loser.

Speaker 1 He was talking big-time loser.

Speaker 1 He was talking like it was like Indiana Purdue playing for the old wooden bucket. Like he's like, if the Jets Jets win week 18 against the Patriots, I think it will save Sala's job.
Like,

Speaker 1 what are we talking about? The Patriots are bad. They're tanking.
Tanking. They are legitimately tanking now.
They are officially tanking. They're not trying to win games.
They're doing it correctly.

Speaker 1 They've got to lose out. Memes, that was loser talk.
Yeah, but the Jets haven't beat the Patriots since like, what, 2015? But still, why would you want Sala saved?

Speaker 7 Yeah, you're right. It's such a meaningless game for you.
That's the thing.

Speaker 1 But it's not for memes. It means a lot to me.
But it shouldn't is the thing.

Speaker 7 Like, it should not mean anything to you

Speaker 7 in that game because you're going to look back three years from now potentially and say, shit, you know what?

Speaker 7 If the Redskins had lost that game to the Miami Dolphins, my quarterback would be Joe Burrow. That's where you're at right now, memes.

Speaker 7 Okay, so I'm speaking to you like I'm talking to myself from the future and trying to show you how impactful a meaningless game could be to you so you want to lose hank is correct he's smart meme hank is a great loser which i never thought i'd say about him no he's that's what that's why he's a motherfucker he's been able to flip it so quickly yeah if the pitch said five wins it'd be totally different

Speaker 1 my body's falling apart uh okay titans panthers do we have to talk about this game uh titans 17 panthers 10.

Speaker 7 no i don't think we need to talk about it but but the only thing is uh david tepper walked out of the locker room after the game shaking his head and saying fuck.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, Frank Reich's on the hot seat.

Speaker 1 Can I correct you on that? Oh,

Speaker 7 it's worse than that, big cat. It's worse.

Speaker 1 Per Will Kunkel.

Speaker 7 Is that a fake name? Am I getting... Sounds like a fake fan.

Speaker 1 Am I getting Will Kunkel?

Speaker 7 I think it's real.

Speaker 1 Per Will Kunkel.

Speaker 7 I'm told Frank Reich's coaching seat is, quote, on fire.

Speaker 1 On fire.

Speaker 7 Source.

Speaker 7 On fire.

Speaker 7 If you put his seats on fire and he's not actually fired tomorrow, Will Kunkel should lose whatever check mark he has.

Speaker 1 This is why when we go to the depressed rankings of franchises, I think the Panthers are still one because David Tepper, like Panthers fans, you're going to have to deal with this guy fucking up for the next like five to ten years until he realizes he can't be a micromanager of an NFL franchise.

Speaker 1 And then there will be a moment where he realizes he has to stop being this guy, but he's not going to stop being this guy for a while.

Speaker 3 Bring back Genes Friday.

Speaker 7 Yeah, that's right. RIP.
But what's going to happen is he's going to say that he's realized he can't be a micromanager in about two years. Right.

Speaker 1 And he's still very much

Speaker 7 going to micromanage. Yes.
But he's going to be like, I've learned that I have to take a step back and let the football people make the football decisions.

Speaker 7 And then that's not going to work out because he's still going to be behind the scenes managing everything.

Speaker 7 And then I'd say probably like three years after that, he's going to take like a half season off being a micromanager. It's something that you have to wean yourself off.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 If you're a guy that's as powerful as David Tepper's been in his past life, I don't want to.

Speaker 1 I'm not wishing anything ill on David Tepper, but a lot of times

Speaker 1 becoming less of a micromanager, like he has to have like a major life incident to be like perspective. Maybe I don't need to be in the office all the time.

Speaker 7 Divorce?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 7 I went for a soft one. Yeah, that was a nice soft one.

Speaker 7 I appreciate that.

Speaker 7 Trial separation.

Speaker 1 Trial separation.

Speaker 7 He has to go through some emotional strife.

Speaker 1 Maybe like, oh, you know what?

Speaker 7 Maybe his his private uh plane has some really bad turbulence yeah it's like uh eye-opening moment yeah yeah almost famous he has a moment where he's like i'm about to die maybe i shouldn't be a dick to all my coaches maybe if one of his yachts burns down when he's yeah when he's not on it but he was supposed to be on it at the time the market crashes yeah no i think it's like you're you've got one of your yachts in the grand cayman you were supposed to be there but you got called away on emergency business to fire your head coach yeah and while you're supposed to be on that yacht it burned to the ground.

Speaker 1 Microwave started a fire on the yacht.

Speaker 7 And you could have died on that yacht. Then you have your come to Jesus moment where you're like, I should have.

Speaker 7 Some things are bigger than me fucking with my sports.

Speaker 1 I got to chill out. I got to rub my brass testicles that are sitting on my

Speaker 1 that just alone. The fact that he has brass testicles sitting on his desk and he rubs them.

Speaker 7 I don't. How can you be a coach and walk into that office and your boss has nuts on their desk and think that you are anything but neutered?

Speaker 1 And you have to walk into that office like, I think Frank Reich has to meet with him six times a week.

Speaker 7 Well, he's probably in the office the entire time just getting berated. Oh, man.
And Frank Reich looks so sad today. So

Speaker 7 he looks like an elderly bird, and he's just so depressed. He doesn't want to be doing that job anymore, right?

Speaker 1 The other thing that will happen is David Tepper, like, enough losing will happen that he'll be like, maybe I don't know what I'm doing.

Speaker 1 Because that also happens to these owners where they're like, fuck.

Speaker 1 I don't know what I'm doing, and I kind of would rather win than be in control.

Speaker 7 But usually, it's the reaction is we're losing so badly that I need to do what I'm doing but harder. Yeah.
Yeah. And then that fucks everything up worse.

Speaker 1 So good on the Titans for winning. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Also good on Will Levis after the game owning a mistake. He said, I think I used capitulate instead of matriculate in the presser today.
It's been killing me.

Speaker 7 I apologize to all my former English teachers.

Speaker 1 Oh, thank you, Will. Will gets it.

Speaker 7 That's good. Will Levis gets it.

Speaker 1 That's good. Hank, difference between capitulate and matriculate?

Speaker 3 Matriculate is when you're working the ball down the field.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Capitulate is a sickness.

Speaker 7 Capitulate is like David Tepper's yacht could capitulate. Actually, that's capsize.

Speaker 7 Get sick.

Speaker 7 Gets COVID. Like, bow to you.
Yeah.

Speaker 7 Like, say, okay, you got it.

Speaker 1 Like the bow of a boat? Yes, like the bow of a boat. Surrender.

Speaker 7 What about ejaculate, Hank? Which one's that?

Speaker 1 I love when people use that wrong. Yeah.
They're like, like, you got ejaculated from the game.

Speaker 1 That always makes you laugh. People are doing it, though, on purpose now, and that doesn't make me laugh.
Because there was an original guy who did that, and it was fucking awesome. Yeah.

Speaker 1 How could you ejaculate him for this?

Speaker 7 Mistakes are funny.

Speaker 7 Also, you can say ejaculate when you're talking. It also means to talk, to say a lot of words.
Like, I'm ejaculating right now.

Speaker 1 You should use that.

Speaker 1 Use it every day.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's an ejaculation podcast.

Speaker 7 That's what we're doing. All podcasters.
This podcast is just all of us just

Speaker 7 five dudes ejaculating for two hours.

Speaker 1 Fuck yeah. Hell yeah.
I mean, my body is like, I'm like a geyser right now. I'm like bubbling over.
I'm about to, my volcano. I'm

Speaker 1 ejaculating.

Speaker 1 All kinds of noises and everything.

Speaker 1 I don't think the Panthers are going to win a game again.

Speaker 1 They should.

Speaker 1 They have the Bucs. Win.
At the Bucs.

Speaker 1 That's not a loss. At Saints.
Win. Loss.
Falcons. Win.

Speaker 3 Loss.

Speaker 1 Packers. Loss.
Win. At Jaguars? Loss.
Bucks again.

Speaker 7 I think Bucs at home last game.

Speaker 1 Again, yeah, maybe.

Speaker 13 What was your guys' bet with Steve Smith preseason?

Speaker 1 We won it. I think he said like five wins.

Speaker 7 Doesn't it feel good to win that bet? It's like hats.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we get hats. We get hats.
We get free hats.

Speaker 7 So, counterpoint to the Mac Jones thing, I do feel bad for Bryce Young. Yeah, I do.
Because I feel like this is.

Speaker 1 And he seems like a nice guy.

Speaker 7 This is malpractice, what he's having to experience. He does seem like a nice guy.
He's never, to my knowledge, punched anybody in their testicles or penis. So I feel bad for him.

Speaker 1 I could hide in a DUI picture.

Speaker 7 I feel bad for Panthers fans, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah. No, it's bad.
It's bleak. It's very bleak.

Speaker 1 Because you just being this bad and then not having your pick. Yeah.
It's a real shame.

Speaker 5 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 5 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 bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 5 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 5 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 Okay, afternoon games. Rams 37.
Cardinals 14. The Rams are back, or did they play the Cardinals?

Speaker 7 They played the Cardinals today. Kyler Murray had just enough plays to make you be like, okay, this guy is still fun.
He's still good.

Speaker 1 That first drive was great.

Speaker 7 First drive was incredible. But yeah, the Rams, they played the Cardinals today.
They took care of business.

Speaker 1 But the Rams are like,

Speaker 1 they have righted what was wrong, and maybe it's just the schedule got a lot softer. I think what was wrong.
Matt Stafford came back.

Speaker 7 Yeah, what was wrong was that Brett Rippon was a quarterback.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but they also, I mean, Matt Stafford played in the game against the Steelers. He played in the game against the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Rams are in that group of teams. Like, hey, someone's got to get the sixth and seven seed.

Speaker 7 Yeah, they're not out of it.

Speaker 7 The fun story from this game was the Cardinals linebacker, Jesse Lukita, he got a flat tire on the way to the game, and then a Cardinals fan on the way to State Farm stopped him, picked him up, and drove him to the stadium.

Speaker 7 That's cool. That's like your dream scenario as a die-hard.
If you're a die-hard Cardinals fan, that's as good as it gets right there. Yeah.
It's like, oh, I drove the guy to the stadium too.

Speaker 7 That is very good. Good for me.

Speaker 1 I'm part of the team. And Kyron Williams was incredible.

Speaker 1 The Rams were just running it down the Cardinals' face. Yeah.
Like the entire second half, they were running it down their face. He had 143 yards on the ground, 61 in the air, and two touchdowns.

Speaker 7 He was awesome. Yeah, Sean McVay should be talked about in not the same era, but like he's similar to Mike Shanahan, where he can plug and play running back and get results out of him.

Speaker 1 I got chastised when we did our NFL coaches draft, and I picked him, I think, in my first or second round. People online were like, Sean McFay's overrated.
He won one Super Bowl.

Speaker 7 Oh, Sean McFay is a he's a very good coach.

Speaker 1 He's an incredible coach. He's a really good coach.
By the way, Jake, remind us, maybe July

Speaker 1 26th, we'll do the coaches draft again.

Speaker 13 That's Friday.

Speaker 1 Tuesday the 25th. Yes, perfect.

Speaker 13 I already have all-time rankings for position groups that day.

Speaker 1 That's a busy day. And Hank Take Geneal Centon class.
That's a full show. Art day?

Speaker 13 Yeah, both of those on that day.

Speaker 1 Okay, so that's our full show.

Speaker 3 Well, in the summer?

Speaker 7 Yeah, July 25th. That's a perfect time to just do a show of complete nonsense.
I should do summer school?

Speaker 1 That's also around the takies, usually.

Speaker 1 No, it's a little late.

Speaker 7 A couple weeks later, yeah, we'll be okay then.

Speaker 13 We'll be good. So we're tripling up that day?

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right.
Yeah, put it on there.

Speaker 1 That won't happen. That won't be a problem for us.

Speaker 7 I'm thinking 49ers quarterbacks might be 49ers quarterbacks. That's probably the best one, right? 49ers quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 pretty good

Speaker 1 yeah

Speaker 1 what

Speaker 1 where would you go with

Speaker 1 i guess you'd have to go chiefs tight ends yeah because you get tony gonzalez and travis kelsey with that one get those two well i mean what about packers quarterbacks oh good point one two super bowls out of the

Speaker 7 what about patriots quarterbacks just mac jones you go patriots tight ends yeah aaron hernandez between the lines it was pretty good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Oh, I had one other thing from this game. PFT, this is a question for you specifically for no reason whatsoever.

Speaker 1 Greg Dortch. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He did the too small. He did.
When the Cardinals were down 37-8, he scored a touchdown to make it 37-14. He did the too small.
Greg Dortch is 5-7. Yep.

Speaker 1 That's too small to do the too small.

Speaker 7 No, I think that Greg Dortz has probably been hit with the too small his entire life.

Speaker 1 But 37

Speaker 7 gets a chance. Listen, I'm taking the score out of the equation.
You asked me if he was too small to do the small chance.

Speaker 1 No, I think the score matters.

Speaker 7 No, no, I don't think it does.

Speaker 1 I think it definitely does.

Speaker 7 I think

Speaker 7 if you're asking me,

Speaker 7 are you asking me, is he too small to do the too small?

Speaker 1 It's a two-part kind of combo question because the score matters.

Speaker 7 I think that the score. If he had done the too small, the score is a

Speaker 1 winning game, I would have been like, eh. But then he did it, and then I was like, wait, isn't he short?

Speaker 1 So it's kind of like the way doing it when you're losing by that much leads to follow-up questions.

Speaker 1 Mostly, how tall are you, Greg Dort?

Speaker 7 So

Speaker 7 if you are losing by that much,

Speaker 7 you should never do the too small, regardless of the size you are, because you're opening yourself up for directly just somebody points at the scoreboard. Correct.

Speaker 7 And then they point at the score and they say, your score is too small. You're opening yourself up for that.
Correct.

Speaker 7 Now, if you're a 5'7 person and you happen to score a touchdown that puts you up by 30 points,

Speaker 7 then you can do the too small.

Speaker 1 And they're too small.

Speaker 7 That's fine. So, no, I don't think he's too small to do the too small.
I think their score was too small.

Speaker 1 But I think

Speaker 1 if he was like 6'3

Speaker 1 and he does the too small, even down 37-14, at least it's not like the follow-up question doesn't happen where it's like, hey, how tall are you?

Speaker 1 He opened himself up.

Speaker 7 I think if you're tall and you're down by that much and you do the too small, everyone's just like, that dude's an asshole.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 If you're short and you do the too small, at least you have people like me who are taller, by the way, than 5'7, who point at him and say, that's the first time he's been able to do the too small on somebody.

Speaker 7 Okay. And he just, he saw a shot and took it.
Not the right time, not the right place, but I understand why he did it. I mean, he's just, he's probably gotten too small his entire life.

Speaker 7 Oh, so many times. And so he's just, turnabout is what he's looking for on this one.
Yes.

Speaker 7 But yeah, you should not do the too small if you're down by 20 points. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Next up.
Broncos 29. Browns 12.
Jake, go ahead.

Speaker 1 Gami. Let's go.

Speaker 13 It was weird because it happened on a safety.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 13 It was 27 to 12, and they got like a meaningless safety at the end of the game, the Broncos.

Speaker 1 Oh. Jake, do you think never on the radar?

Speaker 7 Do you think that Gami's have gone too mainstream? Do you think Gamis sold out because have we had this conversation before?

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 7 I'm not saying that there are too many. I'm saying have they gone too mainstream?

Speaker 13 Oh, like too many people know about that?

Speaker 7 Because the broadcast of the game put it on the final score that Jake got his picture with that said, this is the first time the score has ever happened in NFL history.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so it's like real. It's a real stat that the NFL is tracking now.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's always a real stat.

Speaker 13 Yeah, but if they're acknowledging it, it's a big deal.

Speaker 1 Is this like mission accomplished? You've got the NFL to acknowledge it?

Speaker 13 Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 1 Listen,

Speaker 1 I'm reformed. You need to enjoy your commies however you want because it makes you happy.
Exactly. My point about him happening too often is.
This is a big year for Gammies.

Speaker 1 This is a huge year for commies.

Speaker 1 We've been getting

Speaker 1 Bukaki.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it's been a lot, and I support you, Jake. My question was just, do you feel like if you're a fan of an underground band and then you see them on MTV? Yeah.

Speaker 7 You're like, all these people aren't really fans of this band. Name three of their songs.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you were freaking out about gamis way before it became mainstream.

Speaker 13 Yeah, but now the whole world knows about it.

Speaker 1 Jake ejaculates every time there's a gami. Yeah, he does.
Yeah, he's doing it right now. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Oh, he just ejaculated again.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. Nice.

Speaker 7 Got quite the salmon of there, Jake.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Browns,

Speaker 1 this was a scheduled, in the roller coaster Browns season, this was a scheduled lose the game and also get a bunch of injuries.

Speaker 7 Miles Garrett.

Speaker 1 Miles Garrett, Amari Cooper.

Speaker 7 That's not good.

Speaker 1 DTR got concussed.

Speaker 1 It was just, they can't have a couple weeks in a row where people don't get hurt and also good things happen.

Speaker 7 Yeah, Miles Garrett seems like I don't know what it was. He said after the game that he felt a pop in his shoulder.
That's not what you want to hear in a press conference. No.

Speaker 7 You'd much rather not hear the pop, but the Browns, I feel bad because I do want Joe Flacco to get in, but I don't even think that Joe Flacco can fix this because they seem to be snake bit.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Now might get hurt.

Speaker 7 On the other side, oh, he definitely would get hurt.

Speaker 1 Yeah, also, I don't really understand the Browns. I know that their season, they're trying to cobble it all together offensively.

Speaker 1 Their defense is still very, very good.

Speaker 1 Like, they threw the ball 42 times today. Yeah, PJ Walker and DTR, just run the ball.
Run the ball. Be like

Speaker 1 triple option.

Speaker 7 You know what? I didn't think that DTR looked that bad when he was playing.

Speaker 1 But still, just like, I think they had a goal line at the end of the first half where they might have passed on second and third down. Just run the ball down people's throat.

Speaker 1 You're averaging four and a half yards of carry. Just run the fucking ball.

Speaker 7 I agree with that. That's what Kevin Stefanski should always do.
He should get it tattooed, and he should look at it every single day.

Speaker 7 He should stare himself in the mirror and says, run the damn ball.

Speaker 7 They did have a touchdown pass that was dropped. I think it was in Joku that dropped it.

Speaker 1 His hands, he's

Speaker 1 all-time.

Speaker 1 One game he can look like the best tight end in the world, and the next game's like, do his hands work?

Speaker 7 Yeah, and the way that we're talking about the Browns, it sounds like they're like four and seven. They're actually seven and four.

Speaker 1 But it's like harder and harder to see the path forward when all these guys keep getting injured.

Speaker 7 Especially in that division, which is going to be really, really tough.

Speaker 7 On the other side, the Broncos. The Broncos might be playing the best football in the AFC right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you said they're the best team in the NFL right now.

Speaker 7 No, I'm saying they're playing the best football. No, you said.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm saying you said that.

Speaker 1 You were testing. You were trial ballooning that on the stream, and everyone's like, what?

Speaker 7 But, I mean, look at who they've beaten recently. I'm talking about the last four weeks.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 I'm talking about right now, the Broncos are, I think, undeniably a good team.

Speaker 1 No, they are.

Speaker 1 They are.

Speaker 1 Their defense has been completely. Now, obviously, the 70-point game skews a lot of things, but the first five games of the season, they were giving up 36.2 points per game.

Speaker 1 The last six games, they've been giving up 16.5 points per game.

Speaker 1 They figured out Russell Wilson wasn't lighting the world on fire today, but making enough plays. Like, the Broncos are good.
They are good. And

Speaker 1 they're inching closer and closer to that seven seed, and it would be, I mean, could you win coach? He might be, you know what? Sean Payton might be my coach of the year.

Speaker 7 Sean Payton might be my comeback player of the year

Speaker 7 for what he's done to himself this year. It's crazy.
From the giant hole he's had to crawl out of to get the Broncos where they are right now.

Speaker 7 It's honestly incredible. And Russell Wilson does look like he cares.
That's the thing. Like at the start of the season and last year, he didn't really look like he cared that much.

Speaker 7 And now he looks like he's playing for his teammates, which is great to see.

Speaker 1 And his teammates look like they like him. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Next week, actually, it's a loser-leave town game. Broncos, Texans.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Because right now,

Speaker 1 the Broncos are the ninth seed or ninth in the standings, and the Texans are eighth. That's going to be a huge separation.

Speaker 7 So, Colts, Broncos, Texans, gun to your head, who makes the playoffs?

Speaker 1 Texans.

Speaker 1 Bills.

Speaker 1 Bills. But the Bills have such a hard schedule.
Bills are,

Speaker 7 I think the Bills might be done.

Speaker 1 Bills are definitely in the, if we did the same thing that we did with the NFC, where it's like, who would you want to see? It's Texans or Bills. Yeah.

Speaker 1 No offense to the Broncos or the Colts, but I would like to see C.J. Stroud or Josh Allen as a seventh seed.
I would too.

Speaker 1 Well, also,

Speaker 7 it might be two of those teams that get in.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because I mean, the Browns might,

Speaker 1 this might start falling apart for the Browns, especially if Miles Garrett's hurt. Yep.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Next game. Chiefs Raiders.
Remember when the Raiders were up? 14-0? The final score was 31-17.

Speaker 7 Yeah, so the Chiefs learned how to play football in the second half.

Speaker 1 It wasn't even the second half. It was the third drive.
The third drive. The first two drives, they had 13 total yards.
And then after that, they scored on their next seven drives.

Speaker 1 They scored 31 points. Patrick Mahomes had almost 300 yards passing.
It was, yeah, they basically woke up and were like, hey, wait, we're the Chiefs. What are we doing right now?

Speaker 7 Rashi Rice. That's what happened.

Speaker 1 This is what we've been saying.

Speaker 7 So Rashi Rice might be the guy in Kansas City.

Speaker 7 Now, that's a very low bar considering the receivers that they have right now. And they didn't really have any other options because Tony was out, Hardman was out, and Rice had over 100 yards.

Speaker 7 I think he's their first 100-yard wide receiver of the season, which is crazy to think that Patrick Mahomes and that offense, they have not had a 100-yard receiver yet this season.

Speaker 7 Rashid Rice looked good today. He probably could add more if they didn't take their foot off the pedal at the end.

Speaker 1 This is the old visualization trick. It's Patrick Mahomes sitting down.

Speaker 1 He's sitting somewhere in the Kansas City. Let's say he's sitting in a big room overlooking the Kansas City Chiefs practice field with Aaron Andrews.

Speaker 1 It's late December, and Aaron Andrews is like, talk to me about how these young receivers have come along. And then they show a highlighter, Rashee Rice, just like ripping people up.

Speaker 1 And that's exactly what's going to happen. That's what's going to happen.
I can't wait for that clip to happen, and I'm going to be like, see, you just visualize it.

Speaker 1 They have no more Fox games this year. Okay, fuck Jake.
Tracy Wolfson. Damn it.

Speaker 1 Who else does a CBS like those?

Speaker 13 Like Nate Burlson?

Speaker 1 Maybe Nate Burlson. No.
God damn it. Who else does

Speaker 1 sit down?

Speaker 1 Boomer does that? I don't know. I'm just saying this.
Yeah, no, maybe.

Speaker 1 Kyle Long. Kyle Long, Mike.
Ooh, actually, that. Yeah,

Speaker 1 Tony Gonzalez. Yeah, Tony Gonzalez.
I could see that for sure. Okay, all right, all right.
Yeah, but one of those, one of those guys is me sitting there.

Speaker 13 Or they have a Monday night game, so it could be like Michelle Bosner-Buck.

Speaker 1 Michelle Bosner-Buck, that's it. When's their next Monday night game?

Speaker 13 Because they play the Patriots.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 13 And you can flex Monday Night Games.

Speaker 1 But that also is a time to fill a lot of air being like, let's do a whole broadcast about Patrick Mahomes. Yeah.

Speaker 7 And passing of the torch.

Speaker 1 It's going to happen.

Speaker 13 But if that game stays, Michelle Bosner-Buck's doing that piece. Yep.

Speaker 1 It's going to happen because the Chiefs, like Rashid Rice, this was the first game. Like you said, PFT, first time over 100 yards.
Like, this is

Speaker 1 that one of these guys is going to come along. It's going to be probably Rashid Rice.
And somebody has to. It's fine.

Speaker 7 Because it seems like... Every week there's a different receiver on the Chiefs who absolutely stinks.
Yeah. And so it's good to have like one guy that you can depend on.
He's from SMU, right?

Speaker 1 I believe he is. SMU guy.

Speaker 7 Yeah, so the Chiefs, I think they figured out a way to turn their offense around. They did get 17 points in the second half today after being held scoreless in all second halves going back a month.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 So credit to Andy Reid. The Chiefs will be fine.
We've always said the Chiefs will be fine.

Speaker 1 Their defense was awesome in the second half, too. They held Devontae Adams to no catches in the second half.
113 yards total

Speaker 1 against the Raiders' offense.

Speaker 1 Chiefs' defense is good. Chiefs' defense is very good, and the Chiefs will be be fine.
But it was weird watching the first.

Speaker 1 We knew it, though, watching it. The Chiefs are down 14-0, and we're like, should we live bet the Chiefs? And they were plus 120 to win the game.
Yeah. Which is ridiculous.
Down 14-0.

Speaker 1 That's just that people know the Chiefs are the Chiefs.

Speaker 7 And if you're a Raiders fan, Josh Jacobs is awesome. Have fun watching Josh Jacobs.
They should have been giving him the ball more this season, last season, the season before.

Speaker 1 Hang the banner. You're up 14-0 on the Chiefs.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It looked like it was

Speaker 1 Antonio Pierce.

Speaker 7 Maybe future head coach.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Tony Pierce. Yep, Tony Pierce.
Tony P. Tony P and L V.

Speaker 1 You like that, Hank?

Speaker 1 All right, last game. Max.

Speaker 1 Eagles 37. Bills 34.
Now, just so everyone knows, Max did not watch a snap of this game. That's incorrect.
Oh, how many snaps did you watch? I watched a quarter and a half.

Speaker 1 at the beginning and then all and then overtime like jerry o'connell what happened during the game max The Eagles won the football game.

Speaker 7 No, but I mean, like, what happened? Why weren't you watching the rest of the game?

Speaker 1 I was on a plane. Oh, that's interesting.
Did you not know that they play football on Sundays in the fall?

Speaker 1 I did know that. Oh, you're dealing with the same burps as I have, where it's like your body can't.
I mean, your body can't speak, and like it has too much air. My body's just a blimp right now.

Speaker 1 My body's dead. My entire body.
So, yeah, your body is dead. Let's talk about that before we talk about the game.
Your foot, you had a

Speaker 1 game. game.
No, you had a medical emergency. Your foot,

Speaker 1 you have a little walking boot on now?

Speaker 1 Yes. Yeah, it is cute.

Speaker 1 You had a medical emergency, an infection that you've been dealing with for a year. Not for a year.
For people who are going to say, hey, is a foot injury, like maybe amputation?

Speaker 1 Does Max have diabetes? He does not. He might.
Not diabetes. He might, but he doesn't right now that we know of.
No.

Speaker 1 No. So what's happening with your foot?

Speaker 1 I just have an infection in my foot. I was at the ER until like 4 o'clock last night.
I'm running on fumes.

Speaker 7 How did you get an infection in your foot?

Speaker 1 I had an ingrown toenail removed last week. It was removed, and then since the removal, it got very infected.

Speaker 7 But it's been infected for how many months?

Speaker 1 It's not, it hasn't, that's incorrect.

Speaker 7 You've talked about your foot hurting for quite a while.

Speaker 1 So I've had a problem with ingrowns in my foot for about a month, but I normally get it removed. And then

Speaker 1 you're just a disgusting human being i don't i mean people have ingrown toenails like that's a thing yeah but listen i'm gonna give you a little tip here max um as a larger man myself like whenever you bring everything comes back to this well everything comes back to the fact yes because when you have these type of medical issues such a fucking dickhead no when you have you're just such a dickhead no when you have medical issues no

Speaker 1 people always are like damn dude you're gross that happens to me too yeah it's i like i

Speaker 1 It was like a real fucking thing. I was at the fucking ER.
People are like, oh, can he not reach his feet?

Speaker 1 Things like that.

Speaker 1 Can we just talk about the fucking ER? Can you just send me the picture of your foot?

Speaker 1 I'm tired.

Speaker 1 Hope you feel better. Hank, are you loving this?

Speaker 7 Max, I do like your slipper that you've got on.

Speaker 1 It's real nice. I don't even know what I'm doing.
I don't even know what I'm looking at on my phone right now. You're sending me the picture of your foot because you said it's so gross.
Me too.

Speaker 1 Who wants to?

Speaker 7 Just send it to everybody. Send it to everyone.

Speaker 1 Send it to everyone. You get everyone's reaction at the same time.

Speaker 1 I'm nervous. I'm nervous.

Speaker 1 I'm nervous. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 Why is it this? I mean, we can cut this. Is this because your fingers are too fat? You can't test? You're such a f ⁇ ing.

Speaker 1 It's true, though. It's like when there's a fart in a room, everyone points to the factory.
I know.

Speaker 1 When something, like a medical emergency, they're like, well, you probably should take better care of yourself. That happens to me.
Oh, oh, Max. Oh, that's not that bad.
I don't think it's that bad.

Speaker 1 No, that's not that bad. It just looks like a bad bug bite.
It's pretty bad. No, it's not that bad.
I don't like feet. Can we put it in the YouTube?

Speaker 1 No. Why not? Because it's going to take a while.
Memes, please put it in the YouTube. It's going to get the YouTube tape.
No, it won't. All right, I'll tweet it tomorrow if enough people ask me.

Speaker 1 No, don't tweet it. That's hip.
Yeah, I will. I will.
People are going to ask.

Speaker 7 Max, at what point did you decide to get that looked at?

Speaker 1 When the whole toe was red? No. Well, so I went.
It's not even red, it's like purple. Yeah, I mean, it looks kind of like a penis.

Speaker 3 It's like you have a frostbite, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a serious, it was a serious thing. Your toenails are gross, dudes.

Speaker 1 I also just got a fucking pedicure.

Speaker 7 No way, you wouldn't have got a pedicure with a massive sword.

Speaker 1 God damn it, those women, I'd like to interview one of those women.

Speaker 1 What's wrong with you? Have you ever seen anything like this?

Speaker 1 You're just an ingrown toenail factory.

Speaker 1 Was that like part of the doghouse? Like, we'll get pedicures together?

Speaker 1 The doghouse. Why'd you get a pedicure?

Speaker 1 My mom wanted me to get a pedicure. I don't know.
I got a pedicure. Just kidding.

Speaker 13 I zoomed in. It's pretty bad.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's bad. Yeah, it's bad.

Speaker 1 Did they drain it?

Speaker 1 Honestly, actually, no, they didn't. Memes almost just puked.
I don't think it's that bad.

Speaker 1 Zoom in on it. Yeah, I'm looking like.

Speaker 1 He's gross. He's got an ingrown toenail.
He doesn't know. He can't reach his skin.
Ingrown toenails happen. No, they don't if you take care of it.
Jake, didn't you have an ingrown? Yes, I had one.

Speaker 1 But you just, like, when it starts to get ingrown, you cut it. No, you don't understand what a fucking ingrown toenail is.
Maybe I don't. I went to urgent care.
Yeah, antibiotic.

Speaker 13 You can't get to your skin.

Speaker 1 Jake, you can't. No offense to you, Jake, but you go into urgent care does not count as like a medical emergency.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I know. Jake

Speaker 1 sees a dog and he goes into urgent care.

Speaker 7 No, Max is right, though, because ingrown is different where you can't cut it out. It's just

Speaker 1 get it removed. There's a point before

Speaker 1 that you can cut it. You don't know what an ingrown toenail is.
Okay, I guess I just am a fucking Adonis.

Speaker 1 I'm a freak athlete, Adonis, that has a perfect body. All right, Eagles, 37 Bills, 34.

Speaker 1 Eagles are just good, and they just make big plays. And that Jalen Hurts touchdown pass to

Speaker 1 Olamidi.

Speaker 13 A lot of me is a Kias.

Speaker 1 Thank you, Jake. That's beautiful.

Speaker 1 Was incredible. Jake Elliott, 60-yard field goal.
Make Elliott. They're fucking, they just make big play after big play after big play.
That's just what they are.

Speaker 1 And if you want to say that they're lucky, go ahead and say they're lucky. I think it's just they have dogs that make big plays.

Speaker 7 They're lucky, but they're lucky all the time. Right.
Which means that they're doing things to make themselves lucky. And they have just such a good trait to have for a team.
Right.

Speaker 7 Some people are asking if they're the worst 10-1 team of all time. I'm not going to ask that question.
I do not think it is. I don't think that they are.

Speaker 7 I think that there's at least a few teams that were 10-1 that are worse than this team. I think they're just very good.
I think they're good. The elements suck today.

Speaker 7 It was a shitty day in Philadelphia.

Speaker 7 Jalen Hurts didn't play his best game. He threw some touchdowns, but in the first half, he had 33 yards passing.
It wasn't great from him early on.

Speaker 7 Yeah, they are just good. They do a lot of small things really well.
And on the other side of it,

Speaker 7 I think that there's something about the Bills and about Josh where they're just kind of snake bit in a weird way. Like, there's got to be.

Speaker 1 I have an idea.

Speaker 7 There's got to be a German word for someone who's consistently great, but also extremely unlucky.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 And it's

Speaker 7 McDermott. McDermott is the German word.

Speaker 1 The German word.

Speaker 1 Sean McDermott.

Speaker 7 The defense at the end of the game, on that final drive,

Speaker 7 was bad.

Speaker 1 Soft zone kills the bills again. And look, I like Sean McDermott.
He's been on the show a couple times. He's a very nice guy.
I think he's a good coach.

Speaker 1 I think right now they've kind of gotten to a point where maybe it's just a change of scenery because

Speaker 1 not only the soft zone, but the timeout, you have, there's 25 seconds left, and you have two timeouts.

Speaker 1 And Jake Elliott's coming out for a 59-yard field goal, and they're rushing out for a 59-yard field goal.

Speaker 1 Why in the fucking world do you use one of those timeouts to ice the kicker when you have Josh Allen on the other sideline who's playing his balls off and you can be with two timeouts in 20 seconds, you can get 30, 40 yards.

Speaker 1 Like it made no sense. And then they go and they kneel it and they play chicken shit football for overtime.
Sean McDermott,

Speaker 1 I honestly think he has like the coaching yips right now.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it's the defenses at the end were bad. Those timeouts actually mattered at the end of the game.

Speaker 7 I also think they should have tried to get some yards even with one timeout at the end of the game.

Speaker 1 Yes, agree.

Speaker 7 It was bullshit, but

Speaker 7 you definitely would have rather had two timeouts. He probably still wouldn't have tried to go for it.
Yeah. Get two timeouts.
But I feel bad.

Speaker 7 Like Josh made that throw in overtime that should have been a touchdown. Yeah, Gabe Davis.
Gabe Davis ran the wrong route.

Speaker 7 I hated to see that. Obviously, I'm partial to the Bills because I like Josh Allen.
We're very biased. That's the reason why I was rooting for the Bills today.
I like Josh. I want to see him succeed.

Speaker 7 I like Buffalo. I want to see their fans be happy.
I want to see them get to the playoffs.

Speaker 7 It seems like they've reached the point where bad shit, unlucky shit happens to Josh all the time in Buffalo for whatever reason it is.

Speaker 1 You can talk about the defense.

Speaker 7 You can talk about a lot of stuff.

Speaker 7 It just seems like there's something weird going on there where

Speaker 7 I feel bad and I want to see him succeed, but it doesn't feel like... They're in the right position to do that right now.

Speaker 1 I'm going to ask a question that I don't really want the answer to because I think I'm just going to get triggered online if I ask this question.

Speaker 1 But like, why are we, are we partially to blame for people just not liking Josh Allen? I don't get it. Like he, so he had one bad pick.

Speaker 1 If you watched that game and thought Josh Allen was the problem, you're out of your fucking mind. He was balling his ass off.
He was making every play. He had four total touchdowns.

Speaker 1 He was running everywhere for every first down. He was throwing the ball.
Like that Stefan Diggs throw was insane. He had one bad pick.
You're right. But like,

Speaker 1 so this was Ed Werter tweeted this after the game.

Speaker 1 This game, this was the 40th time a team since 1970 had 500 yards of offense, 10 third down conversions, and a positive turnover margin. Teams were 39 and 0 up until this point.

Speaker 1 Like Josh Allen, that was not an offensive problem. They scored 34 points with 500 yards of offense.
He played almost a perfect game. The Bills' defense just let them down.
And again,

Speaker 1 I'm not even taking it away from the Eagles because the Eagles just make big play after big play after big play. That's what they do.
They just make big plays.

Speaker 1 Like they are a bunch of dogs that make big championship type plays when the moment calls for it. Yeah.

Speaker 7 What about Josh being 0-6 in overtime?

Speaker 1 Again, that's a that's I know, and the fact that the rules got changed for him,

Speaker 7 that's a stat that's going to follow him around.

Speaker 1 But I just don't, like, I understand Josh Allen has not played great for periods.

Speaker 1 He was really good today. The reason that the Bills are 6-6,

Speaker 1 Josh has had some bad games that have put him in this hole. Like, they played bad teams.
They lost to the Patriots, they lost to the Broncos, they lost to the Jets.

Speaker 1 If they win any of those three games, or two out of three of them, it's a completely different-looking season right now. You can't excuse away the games where he's looked bad.

Speaker 1 Today was not one of those games. Like, if you're criticizing Josh Allen after this game, you're wrong.

Speaker 1 He has had games that have put them in this spot where they now are must-win throughout the rest of the year. Yeah,

Speaker 7 Max, as an Eagles fan that did not watch the game, what are your thoughts on how the Eagles played today?

Speaker 1 The Eagles made plays at the end of the game to win.

Speaker 1 The times when I watched,

Speaker 1 they looked good.

Speaker 1 Although, the first quarter they didn't look good. They were up 7-0.

Speaker 1 I literally got onto the plane after Jalen Hurts scored to go up 7-0.

Speaker 7 I mean, this was a huge win for you, Max. And me and Big Cat were talking about this before you got in here today.

Speaker 7 The Eagles played so well, I almost feel like you should be on a plane for as many games as possible.

Speaker 1 You just, they they didn't play that well. They won.
Yeah.

Speaker 7 Yeah, they won a big game.

Speaker 1 They did, and they won a big game. They've won lots of big games.
Yeah.

Speaker 7 Well, I'm just saying, like, the thought was tossed around to send Max on an airplane every Sunday and just have you fly to like Indianapolis and back.

Speaker 1 Or a helicopter.

Speaker 7 Or a helicopter that just hovers.

Speaker 1 The FT made a joke about the helicopter that I'm not going to repeat because you'd get mad at me.

Speaker 7 I did not make the joke about the helicopter.

Speaker 1 I asked a question. You said, could Max fit in a helicopter? I didn't say that.

Speaker 7 No, I said, I don't want to say, I don't want to say the question, but there might be regulations.

Speaker 7 I was thinking about the regulation. I was thinking about safety.

Speaker 1 I appreciate you thinking about my safety. Thanks, Max.
Yep. I didn't say it.
I know.

Speaker 1 I didn't say it either. I was just wondering.
Yeah, I know. I appreciate you guys not saying that.

Speaker 7 But would you,

Speaker 7 if we were to put you on a first-class flight every Sunday and you'd have to miss every Eagles game?

Speaker 1 I would not like to miss every Eagles game, no.

Speaker 1 If that. Okay.
All right.

Speaker 7 We'll think about it. I'm going to write down here, Max would not.

Speaker 1 Max, do you think ⁇ I mean, do you think it's a fair assessment? Because I think the Eagles are going to make people very angry because these games

Speaker 1 have a way of going about it where the Eagles don't look like the Chiefs looked better than the Eagles on Monday night. The Bills looked better than the Eagles tonight.
The Eagles make

Speaker 3 better than the Eagles opening night.

Speaker 1 I don't know about that. The Eagles make

Speaker 1 the winning plays when it counts. That's just what they do.

Speaker 1 Yeah, at this point, I don't care how you win. Just get the one seed.
Like,

Speaker 1 everyone's going to be on the Niners next week. It's going to be great.
No, I'm going to be on the Eagles. No, you're going to be on the Niners.

Speaker 1 I love the Eagles.

Speaker 7 I'm shocked that the Eagles are dogs in the house.

Speaker 1 I love the Eagles next week. Yeah, no.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 it's a revenge game for the Eagles, for the Niners saying that they only lost because of Brock Purdy. They kind of took away your win.
I know.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, the Niners have been butthurt about that game for.

Speaker 1 I I like that.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's weird.

Speaker 7 It's good to get a butthurt in the wild.

Speaker 1 You would totally not be butthurt if you were in the NFC Championship game and your quarterback got hurt in the first quarter. No, but it's one thing if, like,

Speaker 1 the fans can be, but, like, the players have been crying about it for

Speaker 1 years.

Speaker 1 Feels like years. Years.
Feels like years.

Speaker 1 Not even a literal year. Less than a year.

Speaker 7 Also, just quick fact-check: the Patriots were never winning against the Eagles

Speaker 7 in week one.

Speaker 7 I a matter of fact, check that. We're about accuracy on the show.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but the rain.

Speaker 1 That's true. It also rained today.
And it was the first Lighthouse game. That's true, yeah.

Speaker 7 But yeah, congratulations. The Eagles are just good.

Speaker 1 They do a lot of little things correctly.

Speaker 7 They're a well-coached team.

Speaker 1 And then one of these days, they're going to put the second half and the first half together.

Speaker 1 And watch out. And then that'll be nice.
Watch out.

Speaker 1 Watch out. Watch out.
And watch out. You know, Jalen Hurts was like, I mean, it was good, great teams are able to figure it out when everything is not great.

Speaker 1 And, like, it was clear that their offense wasn't great today, and he was able to figure it out. So, after the big plays.

Speaker 7 After the game, they talked to Jordan Milata, and he said, we actually could not believe that the Bills were running that defense when we got that look.

Speaker 1 Dermot, dude, he's got the yips. He's got the yips.

Speaker 7 That's not what you want to hear if you're a Bills fan. No, we knew the look that we were getting, and we knew we were going to score a touchdown.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And it seemed so easy.

Speaker 7 It seemed so easy. Every time the Eagles got the ball, whether it was the drive that got them in field goal range, which was, by the way, way, a bomb from Jake Elliott.
Just absolutely.

Speaker 7 Incredible kick. Nuked that kick.

Speaker 1 In the rain. In the rain.
In the rain.

Speaker 7 In the wind. There was that.

Speaker 1 Ben Mintz said it was the best kick in NFL history.

Speaker 1 I don't disagree.

Speaker 1 The best kick. You don't disagree.
In NFL history.

Speaker 7 You could argue it.

Speaker 1 There's never been more recency bias than Ben Mintz watching that ball go through the uprights and say, that was the best kick in NFL. It was a really good kick.

Speaker 1 Jake Elliott said it was the best kick of his career. Yeah, I believe believe that.

Speaker 7 It was a great kick.

Speaker 1 It was a great kick. He also hit a game winner that was like a 64-yarder against the Giants, but he said this one was better, harder because of the rain.
And the wind.

Speaker 7 A couple good wins against the Commanders, too. But this was a great kick.

Speaker 1 Do we think the Bills have any chance of making the playoffs? They have to play at Kansas City and then the Cowboys.

Speaker 7 We've been saying must-win for the last couple of weeks about the Bills. At some point, when they keep losing must-wins, we have to...

Speaker 1 Well, they did win the must-win against the Jets.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I think they're one and two in their last three must-wins, which is not good.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 it's a bad season for them because it just, again,

Speaker 1 I know that people really don't like the fact that we're friends with Josh Allen and we like him,

Speaker 1 but

Speaker 1 he has put them in this hole, but today was not the reason why they lost this game.

Speaker 7 I think that's a fair assessment. Josh was really good today.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no,

Speaker 1 his play earlier in the season has put them behind the eight ball, but today was not the day to be like Josh Allen stinks or Sam Howell's better than Josh Allen. I would not say that.

Speaker 1 You wouldn't. I know you wouldn't.

Speaker 7 For the record, there are going to be people that listen to you and say one Washington Field.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, it wasn't you. It was not you.
It was our good friend Nate.

Speaker 7 Oh, I thought you did say it. It's our friend Eric.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Who's not me? Who's not you? Not me. Who's not you?

Speaker 7 What if they go 2-0 in their next two must-wins?

Speaker 1 I think we're going to. Against the Chiefs and the Cowboys.

Speaker 7 If the Bills go, if they go 2-0 in those two games.

Speaker 1 Reasonably speaking, I think the seventh seed in the AFC has to get to 10 wins. So they have to go 4-1.
They have to go 4-1

Speaker 1 in the rest of the season.

Speaker 7 So the answer is.

Speaker 7 They have to go 1-1 in their next two must-wins.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they have to go 1-1 in their next two must-wins, and then they got to win out.

Speaker 7 And then they have a can't-lose at the end of the season against the Dolphins. Yes.

Speaker 1 The Dolphins might,

Speaker 1 they might not be playing for anything. Hopefully.
Yeah. Long way to go.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I think it's probably the odds are very much stacked against the Bills right now and sean mcdermott has the coaching yeps that defense soft zone like it was crazy and i know guys were gassed but man they were also like a half second away from forcing a fumble on aj brown yeah also

Speaker 1 i hate to say this because max is gonna love that i say this but

Speaker 1 the eagles didn't have lane johnson today

Speaker 1 he's really fucking good

Speaker 1 they looked they looked a lot worse on their offensive line without really fucking good yeah you like to give the Niners passes for what Trent Williams is. What? I just gave you.

Speaker 1 I literally just did that. I literally just mentioned that Lane Johnson was not in the game.
I know, I just had that in my head to say before we started talking about this. And then you forgot it.

Speaker 1 I forgot it, and then you said it. So I just had to say it.
Okay.

Speaker 1 But it doesn't count, but I literally said

Speaker 1 that. I'm literally excusing the fact that Lane Johnson wasn't playing.

Speaker 7 Like from the first play of the game, that line did not look as good.

Speaker 1 Good players matter. Good players.
For every team.

Speaker 1 Good players matter. And Fletcher Cox.

Speaker 7 Also, Jason Kelsey almost cost them the game with his false starts.

Speaker 1 Back-to-back false starts. So

Speaker 7 the Eagles won despite one of their best offensive linemen not playing and their Hall of Fame center having one of the worst fourth quarters of his life.

Speaker 1 But then he made a great block on the Hurts game-winning touchdown. He did, yeah.
And I think he had to shit himself. There was something about

Speaker 1 the bathroom in between.

Speaker 1 He ran to the locker room to go to the bathroom before overtime started.

Speaker 1 How's a guy like that not get a toe infection and you do?

Speaker 1 I don't know, man. You could.
People could get it. People could get it.
Toe infection is real. People could get it.
People could get it.

Speaker 1 They almost amputated your foot. I'm still not out of the woodwork.
I mean, this thing's not.

Speaker 1 That's not the saying. I don't mean

Speaker 1 out of the woodwork. He said, I'm not out of the woodwork.
I don't mean scare you.

Speaker 7 I think Bob Marley had a toe infection. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The CIA put cancer in his foot.

Speaker 7 Yeah, then he died.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Wow.
What if the AWL's, there's a CIA operative, AWL who works at the CIA, who's like, I can't take Max anymore. Billy.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like, I almost didn't come. I almost had to stay in the hospital for like this week.
For a week?

Speaker 1 They said three days.

Speaker 1 I swear to God, that was the discussion I was having.

Speaker 7 Max, would you cut your toe off if it meant that the Eagles won the Super Bowl?

Speaker 1 I would 100% do that for the Bears.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That was not a yes. Put it down as not a yes.
Yeah, that answer is yes. That was not a yes.
I mean, I'm dealing with a lot of foot shit right now. It's in my head.

Speaker 1 The foot has got prime real estate in my brain right now.

Speaker 7 You got foot brain. I got foot brain.

Speaker 1 It's got to suck to have like a major injury that you can't reach.

Speaker 1 I can.

Speaker 1 I'm the most flexible guy on this show. No, you're not.
Oh, no, I'm way more flexible. I'm way more flexible.

Speaker 1 Who's the one who sits cross-legged every day? Yeah, you're a freak like that, but that's flexible.

Speaker 1 Can you touch your toes? Yes.

Speaker 7 What's your V-set?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 7 What are you about to say? That was the one that I couldn't do?

Speaker 1 No, that was always my best one.

Speaker 1 V-sit? Yeah. All right, we'll have a flexibility off.
PMTV this week.

Speaker 1 We'll do a stretch light off.

Speaker 7 That sounds like a Viva TV.

Speaker 1 That might be a Viva TV, depending on what we don't know. No, we'll do it in the parking lot.
It'll be a PM TV. Okay.

Speaker 1 PFT, what are your thoughts on Chargers Ravens?

Speaker 7 Well, let's see. Eckler's hurt, or at least he's running really slow.
He's old, washed. Justin Herbert leads the league in sick passes and runs that don't really amount to any points on the board.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 And Joey Bose is eating raisin brand because he's probably taking painkillers for his injured foot, foot, so he has to shit, and he can't shit yet. So

Speaker 7 that's my wrap-up of where things are with the Chargers.

Speaker 1 The Ravens look good defensively. Offensively, they're just going to have these games, I guess.
Yep.

Speaker 1 Where it's like, hey, can you pick up a big third down? Like, I don't know. I still am very high on the Ravens.
Yeah, I would be too.

Speaker 7 A road game is a road primetime game.

Speaker 1 Hey, win a game. Yeah.
And guess what? Defense matters a lot. And the Ravens have one of the best defenses in the league.
And as of right now, they have the one seed in the AFC.

Speaker 7 And also get Jason Garrett the fuck off my television. The worst.
I did not consent to Jason Garrett.

Speaker 1 That's a fact. That's a fact.
You should have to opt in to a Jason Garrett for a while. That's part of our text message thing.
We need to do this.

Speaker 7 Opt-in.

Speaker 1 Hank, can we get this figured out?

Speaker 1 A text message service where we send updates before

Speaker 1 anything that we think is important.

Speaker 1 To who? To people who opt in. I would opt in if someone did this for me

Speaker 1 uh

Speaker 1 baby uh a player having a baby a mascot dying a weird cool uniform that we've never seen before jason garrett being on our tv uh soft rims in a basketball game these are the important things i'll look into starting the service okay thank you jake It's basically reminders, but just mass texts.

Speaker 7 No, but like.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but we need to like, it's Amber Alert. We need it to take over your phone and just be like, hey, guess what? Bevo died.
Texas. Okay.
Lock of the year. All right.
Shit like that.

Speaker 1 Important stuff. I'm on it.

Speaker 7 Boston Scott is playing against the Giants. Yeah.
Touchdown.

Speaker 1 Jake Browning. His only fun fact is he eats hamburger helper.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Don't bet on him. Yeah.
That kind of shit.

Speaker 1 I would opt in for a service like Waxing Gibbis. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes. Waxing Gibbous.
Very important.

Speaker 1 These are important things.

Speaker 1 Tommy DeVito. We just send this right before Tommy DeVito start.

Speaker 7 His parents are there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Say, it's a family affair.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 7 Henry. You think Tommy DeVito has watched the Sopranos?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's probably

That's the same thing as him putting on the Sopranos.

Shout out to Dolly Parton.

Speaker 1 Dolly World. Yeah.
You ever been?

Speaker 7 Yeah. It's great.

Speaker 3 And then my other, who's actually,

Speaker 1 is that in Gatlinburg?

Speaker 7 I forget the name of the town that it's in.

Speaker 1 I think it is.

Speaker 3 I've been to Gatlinburg. I believe it was Dolly World.

Speaker 7 Dollywood.

Speaker 1 Dollywood.

Speaker 3 My other.

Speaker 7 I was saying at my television.

Speaker 3 My other, who's back at CM Punk.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 He was in AEW, now he's in WWE. I don't fully understand it, but he gets the craziest pops.

Speaker 3 I've never really understood the CM Punk hype, just being bluntly honest, but whenever he would come on this show, Clips would do crazy numbers. Whenever he does anything, people freaked the fuck out.

Speaker 1 Everyone ejaculated.

Speaker 3 Yeah, everyone lost their minds because he went from, he's back in the WWE.

Speaker 7 Yeah. So he had a bunch of takes about how WWE wrestlers should be ashamed of themselves for taking Saudi money, right? And then he went to the WWE.

Speaker 7 That's interesting. Yeah.

Speaker 3 But he's back.

Speaker 1 He is back.

Speaker 1 Big time back.

Speaker 1 Broke the internet. That was one of those.
Kardashian dumper.

Speaker 7 That was one of those things where I was watching college football and

Speaker 7 CM Punk was just taking over Twitter. And I wish I could understand the passion behind CM Punk.
I don't get it because I don't follow wrestling. But it seems like something people are really into.

Speaker 1 He's a cult hero. He

Speaker 1 speaks power to

Speaker 3 what i mean that this is gonna get wrestling people upset uh

Speaker 1 uh oh i like cm punk just so you know

Speaker 1 i feel like it's almost

Speaker 3 i don't know enough to say this but i'm gonna say it anyway i feel like it's almost like a kaepernick situation like he's no no he's not like the not the like because he was wrestling in the aew

Speaker 1 like as of like three months ago

Speaker 1 he was still wrestling wrestling well yeah Oh, you're not his peak?

Speaker 7 You're saying that he's not good?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I'm saying it's just all talk in there, like talking about him like he was, you know, this is a big deal

Speaker 1 and he was in the big time falling out.

Speaker 3 And he's just always in the headlines, but I haven't seen a lot of action.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 7 From what I know about it,

Speaker 7 he's still technically a very good wrestler. I just, I'm not a big wrestling fan, so I don't pay attention to all the storylines.

Speaker 7 But from what I know, he's still very much, if not at the top of his game, like kind of close to it.

Speaker 1 He's also just a great all-time character in wrestling because he does the perfect blending real life and wrestling.

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 3 I thought he got blackballed for real from WWE.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He's back.
All right, who's your who's back?

Speaker 7 My who's back of the week is I got two. The Sun Belt is back.
12 out of 14 teams from the Sun Belt are bull eligible. They're going to be playing bull games this year, including JMU.
We did it. Nice.

Speaker 7 We did it, Joe. We got JMU into a bull game because there weren't enough other eligible teams.
You're welcome. Thank you.
Thank you, Big Gat. Thank you to Wisconsin.

Speaker 12 12.

Speaker 1 Off PJ Fleck. How's that boat doing?

Speaker 7 12 out of 14 teams from the conference made it. That's the best conference in the country in terms of bull representation.

Speaker 7 Don't ask questions like, well, how many of those teams have like six or seven wins? Because it's a lot of them. But still, that's pretty cool for the conference.
I like the Sunbelt.

Speaker 7 Fun brand of football. And then Christmas trees are back, baby.
Christmas trees. It's Christmas tree season.
I got to go pick mine up. I got a fake white.

Speaker 1 You got a fake white? White? Dolly Parton?

Speaker 3 I might get two. I might get another one.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I can't co-sign on a fake tree. You're putting a lot of Christmas tree salesmen out of business with that one, but I guess do what makes you happy.

Speaker 1 Fake white is like, I feel like 1950s, like Frank Sinatra era.

Speaker 7 Or like 1970s, where you have your foil TV dinner and

Speaker 3 it came pre-lit, too.

Speaker 1 Oh, hell yeah.

Speaker 7 That's kind of cool. That's easy.

Speaker 1 Super easy. Pre-lit.
That's what we say about Nikki Smokes.

Speaker 7 I'm thinking about what to do in my house. I don't know how dogs are with real Christmas trees, especially puppies.

Speaker 7 He might just destroy the tree and eat the entire tree, which would be kind of funny.

Speaker 1 But yeah, I'm a real Christmas tree guy.

Speaker 7 Give me a Fraser fur. Don't give me a plastic white one.

Speaker 1 I'm a little disappointed in you, Hank.

Speaker 1 Why?

Speaker 1 Fake white. I'm going to have two fake whites.
Oh, shit.

Speaker 3 I put one in the corner. Stunt on them.
And my other corner of the room had like a plant, but it's like white and green. I was like, what if I just had two?

Speaker 1 Double fake whites.

Speaker 7 I think if you got two fake whites, double fake whites. And I know you're not like this, Hank, but my first impression, if I went to your apartment and saw that, I'd be like, Coke guy.

Speaker 7 Double fake white. That's a coke guy move.

Speaker 1 Yeah, double fake white's definitely a coke guy move.

Speaker 1 All right, my who's back is us.

Speaker 1 And I think people probably don't even know this is happening right now, but the Barstool Sports Store has 20% off. Shut up.
Yeah. Plug on.
Probably not a lot of tweets.

Speaker 1 But yes, 20% off.

Speaker 1 Cyber Monday is today, do support us, please. It does help.
We're doing a thing this year where everything above our goal is going to go to the producers and the behind-the-scenes guys.

Speaker 1 So, day for Max's football. No, I was gonna, I wasn't gonna say Max because that's not a way to incentivize Petro.
Shane, Pug, who doesn't have ankles, uh, because he got crossed up, tune into PM TV.

Speaker 1 We're gonna put that clip in. Uh,

Speaker 1 memes, Gia, Gia, no, Gia's content, uh,

Speaker 1 Max,

Speaker 1 I guess, too,

Speaker 1 But please, yes, do buy something. And here's the real plug: is tomorrow or today, Monday, we have a telethon at 7 Eastern 6th Central.

Speaker 1 But before the telethon, we are doing the first ever producer bowl in the Chicago office where we have all of the producers in the entire office.

Speaker 1 I think it's 22 total, are going to play in a competition basketball five-on-five

Speaker 1 with a bench

Speaker 1 to a thousand.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 you're going to say, hey, a thousand playing to a thousand? That's going to take like 75 hours. Yeah, that probably would because we're not good at basketball.

Speaker 1 We're going to stop every 10 minutes and have mini-games that will be worth a ton of points.

Speaker 1 So you're going to get to see all the producers compete in stupid games and win stupid prizes, and it's going to be awesome. So we'll be live streaming that from where?

Speaker 1 Stoolstreams. Stool Streams.
Talk about back. What's the YouTube? Stool Streams YouTube.
StoolStreams YouTube. So tune in.
It's going to be awesome.

Speaker 3 I'm excited for Badminton. We were doing some Badminton simulations earlier.

Speaker 3 It's a very visually funny game to watch.

Speaker 7 It's also a fun sport to be watching.

Speaker 3 Because you hit as hard as you can and you can't.

Speaker 1 It doesn't go anywhere. Yeah.
Yeah. So Max will be on the IR, but Max, you'll be the heart and soul of your team, I assume, from the sidelines.

Speaker 7 I had a joke I was about to make. Memes will be completely.

Speaker 1 He didn't make it.

Speaker 7 I want to say it for the record.

Speaker 1 It's not gone.

Speaker 1 Make it. Make it to to me.
Yeah. No, yeah.
Just say it to him. Say it to me.
No, no, no. Say it to me.
It's fine. Heart and soul.

Speaker 7 Yeah, in the mouth and the stomach.

Speaker 1 Yeah, in the mouth and the stomach. Not the toes, though.
I don't care. That's over my head, but that's fine.

Speaker 7 It's actually right beneath your head.

Speaker 7 Okay, Max.

Speaker 1 Also, fun fact about Max. Still thinking about it.

Speaker 7 Yeah, fun fact about Max is Max almost didn't even have health care because

Speaker 7 he waited until like the last 15 minutes to sign up for health care. Oh, nice.

Speaker 1 close.

Speaker 7 And then he spent the entire night worrying that he didn't get his plan. And so that would have been a disaster, Max, if you didn't have healthcare with that five years.

Speaker 1 I was thinking about that a lot when I was in the city. Yeah, I am.

Speaker 7 But yeah, good luck, Max. He will be the heart and the soul.
Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 But Shane's going to be in it. Pug's going to be in it.
All the producers. And then all the content people are going to be doing the broadcast, doing the social.

Speaker 1 We're going to be chasing them around with videos. It's going to be an awesome time.
I think it's going to be a very, very fun time, very fun watch.

Speaker 1 This is why this office was built for these type of uh events so tune in please and uh buy some merch if you want and also stellar blue coffee is 20 off as well including uh yearly memberships so you can get 20 off your yearly membership so every uh dollar count counts because this is what we do for our business i know people are upset i know people get mad about black friday and cyber monday we are for profit and we're trying to keep everyone employed i know that sucks the more you buy the more you save people

Speaker 1 what are you trying to to do? Make money? This is our job. We are trying to, yes.
Yes.

Speaker 7 Also, Big Cat

Speaker 7 has very generously offered $300 per member on the winning team.

Speaker 7 I've offered $1,000 to the MVP.

Speaker 1 To the MVP. So

Speaker 1 out of our own pockets.

Speaker 7 I will be crowning the MVP based on just a random, whatever I feel, my eyeball test.

Speaker 1 Yeah. $1,000.
I like that. Yeah.
So, for people

Speaker 13 to be expensive to get selfish at the end.

Speaker 1 Ooh, I like that.

Speaker 7 Or maybe I value unselfish play. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Can you win the MVP if you don't compete because you can't reach your toes?

Speaker 7 Actually, yes. I'm going to say Max is eligible depending on his performance, not on the court, but just the stuff you do off it.

Speaker 1 I can reach my toes. Memes didn't want me to say that.

Speaker 7 I can't reach my toes.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Then you probably should have cut your nails.

Speaker 1 Jake.

Speaker 13 My who's back is sportsmanship. Oh, last week in San Antonio, Greg Popovich during Kawhi Leonard's free throws.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 13 He hopped on on the mic and he told the fans to stop booing.

Speaker 7 This was bad. It was such a loser move.

Speaker 1 He said, that's not who we are.

Speaker 7 It was sportsmanship at its finest. It was the most Coach K move I've ever seen from somebody who's not Coach K.

Speaker 1 It was such a loser move. I hated it.
I hated it before. It was so much.

Speaker 1 And I don't hate Pop, but I think I might have to start hating Pop.

Speaker 7 It was bad. It was really bad.
In fact,

Speaker 1 it was so bad.

Speaker 7 If I was a Spurs fan, I would have...

Speaker 1 booed pop pop yes telling me to stop booing i know they the booz intensified Good for the second. Good.
Good sports feel. It was in the middle of the two free throws.
Good.

Speaker 13 Good. Yeah, it was a crazy story.

Speaker 7 Also, what if Pop was just trying to psych Kawhi out by getting on the mic and be like, hey, I know all of you guys hate Kawhi because of the way that he left, and he was kind of a jerk to you at the end, and I get why you're booing him, and you all hate him, but please stop.

Speaker 7 That's actually almost

Speaker 7 worse sportsmanship than booing him, I would say.

Speaker 1 I'd agree.

Speaker 13 Maybe he's reverse sportsman.

Speaker 1 I'd agree. All right.
Good show. We're going to talk all the college football on Wednesday.
We have Kirk Herb Street on, which would be great.

Speaker 1 And we have a lot to get to because it was a hell of a Saturday for college football. Let's finish with numbers.
Max,

Speaker 1 is there a chance maybe this is all karma for you being a loser? Eight. Yeah.
50. Oh, there is.
Okay, so you admit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you admit. All right.
71. Three.
20.

Speaker 1 What are Evan and Shane? Shane.

Speaker 1 10 for Shane.

Speaker 13 What was everyone's number? 7, usually. I'm 20.

Speaker 1 20. 8.
What was your number? 15.

Speaker 1 Ooh, new one. 52.

Speaker 3 I'm a guy in San Diego. 17.

Speaker 1 San Diego?

Speaker 3 I was you and my parents. He just came up to the table.

Speaker 1 Oh, Jake! Oh, 18. Jake's in.
Let's go.

Speaker 7 Way to go, Jake.

Speaker 1 18. Let's go.
Way to go, Jake. Me and you, Jakey.

Speaker 3 I think.

Speaker 7 You know, a lot of people are winning this lotto machine. Raise.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's interesting.
Oh, is it? Yeah, Jake, get ready for Max to figure out some way to discredit you. Let's go.
Congrats, Jake. Thank you.
Huge. I'm happy for you, Jake.
I'm bombarding.

Speaker 1 No, you're not. No, you're not.
You're a loser. You don't like, you're a loser.
You're going to cry, baby, and you're going to find a way to

Speaker 1 make this illegitimate. I'm happy for Jake.

Speaker 1 I am happy for Jake. I was the first one to say I was happy for Jake.
But you are also going to be the first one to pull up footage and be like, this is illegal.

Speaker 1 Well, he doesn't press the button.

Speaker 1 Okay, but you're going to find a way.

Speaker 1 Did he wink at me? Did he wink at me?

Speaker 1 I think he winked. I saw Jake making motion, and that's when I hit the button.
Wrong. That a fact.
Watch it back.

Speaker 7 He scored a damn for the Latino machine, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah, good job, Jake.

Speaker 7 It's never been drawn yet. What a day.

Speaker 1 What a day. Let's go.

Speaker 13 Huge

Speaker 13 on the board.

Speaker 1 Max, hope your foot gets worse.
