Speaker 6 We're thinking Soupy.

Speaker 1 Super Bowl Browns, Niners still looking like they're rolling. Bills get back on on track.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 1 It's Fard and Mike T,

Speaker 1 the number one spot podcast on the charts and in your heart.

Speaker 1 Hey,

Speaker 1 football guy for dealing JWH.

Speaker 1 Yeah

Speaker 1 part of my take today is Monday November 20th

Speaker 1 week 11

Speaker 1 I gotta I gotta save my voice teach

Speaker 1 some friend.

Speaker 1 We start in Pittsburgh where I would walk 500 miles. Garrett just to have a piece like his.

Speaker 1 Stop me if you heard this before, but Miles Garrett in a helmet. We're back in the news this week.
You see those sweatpants? They were pretty big. Pretty big.
Kenny G.

Speaker 1 Pickett took some costly Alto sacks as the Steelers' offense struggled.

Speaker 1 It was a punt battle as Big Ten West game broke out, but Dustin Anthony Hopkins was able to eat the Steelers' liver with some fava beans and a nice cantey

Speaker 1 as he kicked the game-winning field goal screaming afterwards Bulls Peru it's an anagram carice for Super Bowl Browns 13 Steelers 10

Speaker 1 Count to Duval where Calvin Ridley Scott returned from his Napoleon exile to score twice the Jaguars put another brick in the wall of their defense as they recovered two fumbles saying I'll see you on the foyer sadh of the moon jeffrey bill simmons scored but it was too little, too late.

Speaker 6 As people are asking, are the Jaguars having a moment? Are we sure the Titans aren't bad?

Speaker 1 Trevor Lawrence kind of reminds me of that movie Teen Wolf.

Speaker 6 Looks really intimidating, but I'm not so sure that the team from Hoosiers would mop the floor with him.

Speaker 1 Jaguars 31, Titans 14.

Speaker 7 Wasn't that kind of weird?

Speaker 1 It's weird. Our good personal friend, Bill Simmons.

Speaker 6 My personal friend, Bill.

Speaker 1 Over to Houston, where the Greg do, do, do, do, do, looking out my back torch, had some major CCRs, catches, conversions, and receptions.

Speaker 1 The Whitney Houston Texans just want to dance with somebody who loves me. Thinking back to their previous head coach who got them into a position to draft boy genius CJ Stroud.
Memba?

Speaker 1 Memba Singleberries? As Devin reminded everyone why he's good at football, going for 112 and a score on the way to a Houston Texans win 21-16.

Speaker 1 In Carolina, people are asking if the price is right, as the Panthers season is on a cliffhanger while David Tepper is spay and neutering his coaches, keeping their balls on his desk.

Speaker 1 Before the game, Jerry Jones put Jimmy Johnson into the ultimate glory hole, the Dallas Ring of Honor, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Speaker 1 Darren Petuiteri Bland hit a personal ghost perk this year, making more house calls than Jerry Jones' favorite strippers. Is Dak back, or did he just play the Panthers? Cowboys, 33, the Panthers, 10.

Speaker 1 Up to Detroit where Fields was back just in time to lose another game. Jared was goffly bad, then goffly good as the game swung late in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 The Bears did their best impression of the Phoenix Suns locker room having four men scoring.

Speaker 1 And Dan Campbell's soup had his team playing with a lot of concentrate as they scored twice late in the fourth to take the lead.

Speaker 1 As for the Bears, People are asking, is it too late now to say sorry for hiring Matt Bieberflues?

Speaker 1 Because yeah, he let everyone down lions 31 Bears 26 we go down south to Miami where Antonio Pierce Brosnan is leaving no doubt about his firing coaching style as he has the Raiders rushing for approximately 0.007 yards per carry the Dolphins took the lead when Salvador scored late in the second cool clock Ahmed wanted to show that at the White House while two of fast two of furious Tango Vailoa had some ludicrous cornrows and it was Jalen Ramsey Bolton who finished the job neutering the Raiders comeback with a late interception.

Speaker 1 The Dolphins 20. The

Speaker 1 Raiders 13.

Speaker 1 Up to the frozen tundra where the seat is getting warm for Matt LaFleur. Stone Marcus Smart Gritton grinded his way to a 51-yard score and it looked like the San Diego Superchargers were back.

Speaker 1 Jaden Creed took the Packers higher with a score and the game was tight going into the fourth when Romeo and Juliet Dobbs scored late, putting the Chargers of season officially in dire straits.

Speaker 1 Brandon Staley, have you heard this one?

Speaker 6 I haven't heard it yet, Boom.

Speaker 1 More like Brandon Faley.

Speaker 6 That's a good one, Boom.

Speaker 1 Because that guy fucking stinks to you. Packers 23, Chargers 20.

Speaker 1 To Ral John, Maryland, where Raekwon Barkley unloaded all 36 chambers as the big Bluetang clan look to wrap up their first win in a month.

Speaker 1 Let us be the first to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving as Brian DeBalodean is getting ready for the big meal, allowing two sacks of mayo, as David and the rest of the commies defense had Tommy DeCheeto looking like a snack.

Speaker 1 Much like my close personal friend Dick Cheney's good friend, the Commanders are no longer in the hunt after getting their face blasted off by using a shotgun incorrectly.

Speaker 1 Michael Sam Howe was not allowed to shower with his teammates after the game because there was no hot water at FedEx Field.

Speaker 1 And for the first time this year, Ron Rivera's team was unable to get rid of sweat. The Giants, 31.
The Commanders, 19. For the last game, we're going to go out to our correspondent, Connor Meems,

Speaker 1 in western New York. We head up to Buffalo, where the Jets challenged the Bills and blew up shortly after takeoff.
Zach Wilson is fucking ass.

Speaker 1 Good one, Boom. Thanks, Steve.
The Jets turned to Tim didn't boil for more than 10 minutes, resulting in a noodle arm.

Speaker 1 Khalil Shakira was on tonight, and his hips didn't lie, and I'm starting to feel an 85-yard touchdown. Robert Toss Salad had to tackle Zach Wilson before eating shit.

Speaker 1 No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 1 Bills 32, Jet City's. Thank you, memes.

Speaker 6 Good one, boom. Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 6 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 6 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy monster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 6 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Okay, week 11 in the books, and we have something a little different to start this show.

Speaker 1 To set the stage before we get to all of the games, Our good friend Jersey Jerry and I, we put in a TD parlay, $2,000 to win $100,000.

Speaker 1 We hit the first three legs, and the last leg is Javante Williams.

Speaker 6 Javante's got the ball.

Speaker 1 Let's talk week 11. We had some great games.
Feels like

Speaker 1 some statement wins, and the number one statement win, the first game we're going to talk about, Browns 13, Steelers, 10. The Cleveland Browns are 7-3.

Speaker 1 The Cleveland Browns win with their their third-string quarterback in DTR. The Cleveland Browns are for real.
They are. They are.

Speaker 6 And they're fun. Their defense is fun to watch.

Speaker 6 Miles Garrett had another great game today.

Speaker 6 Credit to Miles Garrett for picking up a Steelers quarterback's helmet and not using it to swing on his head because there was a moment when Kenny Pickett, he did a QB sneak for a first down.

Speaker 6 Helmet came off. Miles Garrett picked it up.
And then the Steelers O-line went over and immediately confiscated it. Yeah.

Speaker 6 So like, no, don't do this again. He was like, I'm not doing it again.
We've seen that.

Speaker 1 I'm not doing it again.

Speaker 1 And Miles Garrett, we alluded to it in the fastest two minutes, did a video this week in front of the reporters where he was shirtless with gray sweatpants on and just cock just like in everyone's face.

Speaker 6 Yeah, that's why he's not a basketball player, actually, because

Speaker 6 he couldn't go between the legs because

Speaker 6 his big old penis would just knock the ball away.

Speaker 1 That was one of those moments where you can't even be mad at Miles because he just... Guess what?

Speaker 6 He's got it. Listen, if I had a hammer like that, I would be wearing gray sweatpants all the time.
All the time.

Speaker 1 All the time. And shirtless.
And I'd be shirtless.

Speaker 6 Gray athletic shorts, even.

Speaker 1 I always think about that. If I had a sick body, like a six-pack, I would be shirtless.

Speaker 1 Like in this office, the minute we start shooting hoops, I'd just rip off my shirt and be like, yeah, pass me the ball. Yeah, I'll be skinned.

Speaker 6 I disagree. I think I would do what Adam Sandler does, which is he's like pretty jacked up, but he always wears big, flowy clothes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but he has a six-six-pack.

Speaker 6 And then I think he's got like a four-pack. And then once every like two years, he'll play basketball and he'll take it off.
And all of his friends are like, yo, what the fuck, man?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm talking like if I had Miles Garrett, Garrett's body, I'd be driving my car shirtless, like just basically the minute I get home, shirtless.

Speaker 6 If I had Miles Garrett's body, I think I would ruin it within maybe two weeks. Yeah.
Two weeks of living my lifestyle.

Speaker 1 One Sunday.

Speaker 6 And he would just look like me right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, one Sunday. But this game, so

Speaker 1 the Browns,

Speaker 1 Stefansky kind of went into a little bit of turtle mode in the second half. It felt like a Big Ten West game where it was just field position, field position, field position.

Speaker 1 I, though, was, I thought the Browns, like, obviously their defensive line is elite and control the line of scrimmage, but their offensive line played lights out in terms of they didn't, like, run for an insane amount of yards.

Speaker 1 I think they were close to 100, but DTR was only sacked once. The final drive, he was able to move the ball down the field and get him to field goal range.

Speaker 1 Like, the Browns are, I think they've lost two or three starters, day week one starters on their offensive line, and they're still able to, like, that's why I like the Browns, because there isn't a lot of flash, but they control both lines of scrimmage, and you win football games that way.

Speaker 6 It was a great game-winning drive by DTR, and I think that in the second half, both teams were just pretty much not trying to be the one that made the mistake because both defenses are really good.

Speaker 6 Yes. So they're like, DTR, please do not get a sack fumble.
Please do not throw a bad interception. Just let's be conservative.
Let's punt the ball.

Speaker 6 A punt was as good as a win for either team in the second half. And then at the end, when he had to do it, he did it.
And they're kind of like the same football team. Right.

Speaker 6 The Browns and the Steelers. Right.
Where Steelers fans, if it's like the bus meme, the Steelers fans are the ones looking at the dark side, being like, our defense is awesome.

Speaker 6 Our quarterback hasn't played well, but we have a winning record. And then the Browns, they're looking at the light side saying the exact same thing.
Yes.

Speaker 6 But yeah, the Browns' defense is good enough to do some serious damage. And they got Joe Flacco.

Speaker 1 They got Joe Flacco.

Speaker 6 And much to the dismay of RG3, who had Photoshops whipped up, ready to go of him in Browns' uniforms. I heard that he was going to get the call, much to his dismay.
He did not.

Speaker 1 He was showing off this weekend running with Dabo down on the field.

Speaker 6 That was his workout ticket that he put out there for the Browns.

Speaker 1 40 times.

Speaker 6 But it would be so awesome if Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl with these Browns. And as of Friday, I put a thousand dollar future on the Browns, thinking that they were going to get Joe Flacco.

Speaker 6 So it pays out 50 to 1.

Speaker 6 Already down to 40 to 1.

Speaker 1 I'm making money on Joe Flacco's worth that much.

Speaker 6 Joe Flacco gave a little bump, and also probably this win. DTR looking not incapable of doing the job probably helped out a little bit there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but he looked okay.

Speaker 6 If Joe Flacco wins a Super Bowl and he does like his normal Joe Flacco thing where he doesn't make any mistakes, gets the pass interferences, that would contribute so much to the Flacco discourse.

Speaker 6 It would make my probably my entire year.

Speaker 1 It would be a legacy to earnings. Yeah, it would

Speaker 1 probably be finding playoffs for you.

Speaker 6 At that point, he's won two Super Bowls.

Speaker 1 And he probably would get a long-term contract with the Browns. He's elite.

Speaker 6 Give him a 10 years.

Speaker 1 They just are like, fuck it. Here's 300 million, Joe.

Speaker 6 Yeah, man, it would be awesome. He's got five.
It's probably because he's got five kids now, and he's like, I really just want to get out of the house, so I'm down to play.

Speaker 1 And it's crazy to think the Browns fans had the most roller coaster. I mean, the whole season's been roller coaster with Nick Chubb and the win, loss, win, loss.

Speaker 1 Deshaun out for a little, but then coming back, looking good, getting season-endering surgery. Like this, this week was a microcosm for their year that it's just absolute madness.

Speaker 1 But like the Browns, if you're a Browns fan, I think where you're sitting right now, and it's not a bad place to be.

Speaker 1 I think in the back of your head, you're like, yes, we don't really have a quarterback right now. Like DTR, young, Joe Flacco, old.
It's going to be tough.

Speaker 1 But with that defense, no one wants to play you. No one wants to go up against the Browns.
No. And you can basically tell yourself, and I think it's not that wrong.

Speaker 1 I don't even think you're like faking yourself out when you say it, that if we have, if we get into the playoffs and we have a chance, like our defense is so good that we can win ugly games against pretty much any team.

Speaker 6 So every time you bring up the Joe Flacco Elite conversation, it's like, well, he won a Super Bowl. Oh, yeah, well, guess what? So did Trent Dilpher.

Speaker 6 This is the Trent Dilfer model that the Browns are going to go with right now. And yeah, their defense is definitely good enough to play with any team of the league.

Speaker 1 Late stage Peyton Manning.

Speaker 6 Yeah, exactly. Like that Broncos team.
And the Browns. So today they beat the Steelers.

Speaker 6 They beat the Ravens and the Steelers in consecutive weeks for the first time in the entire history of their franchise.

Speaker 1 Did you see, now this is where it's clearly bothering Steelers fans, and we do actually have Jersey Jerry here, which maybe we'll have him say a little something at the end here.

Speaker 1 Big Ben was live for this game. Oh, really? Big Ben was live for this game.

Speaker 6 Who taught him how to go live on Instagram?

Speaker 1 I don't know. He was live for this game.
No, he was on YouTube, I think, with his podcast. He was sitting in his basement.
And

Speaker 1 Browns fans, you should like, if you could maybe make an NFT of the last three seconds of this game, it is so worth it because Big Ben is sitting there and he's narrating the Hail Mary and the pitchback and everything.

Speaker 1 And then he just goes, This is the Browns Super Bowl. That's the Browns Super Bowl for them.

Speaker 1 And that's the best, the best feeling in the world if you're a Browns fan because you know when someone breaks out that this is your Super Bowl, that loss bothers them. Like he was bothered by that.

Speaker 6 There have been a few of those on this show. Yes.
But yeah,

Speaker 6 I could imagine that bothering Big Ben because he absolutely loved to kill the Browns. It was his favorite thing ever.
He loved beating the shit out of him.

Speaker 1 And just salty, like the immediate, oh, well, this, oh,

Speaker 1 Browns, that's your Super Bowl. That's the saltiest response you can give.
And you know, like,

Speaker 1 it's almost, you know, on Twitter, it's like, oh, you're triggered. You're mad.
No, no, that is as mad as you can get.

Speaker 6 It was like Big Ben putting a walking boot on his ego saying that. Yeah.

Speaker 6 There was.

Speaker 6 Yeah, there's a lot to be happy about if you're a Browns fan, for sure, right?

Speaker 1 You should enjoy that.

Speaker 6 You can enjoy it. You can think all the thoughts.
You can think about.

Speaker 6 I give Browns fans permission to think like maybe we could possibly win a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 And I looked at their schedule, and I think they probably have at least four more wins in the rest of their season, which would get them to 11 wins.

Speaker 1 They have the Broncos and the Rams coming up on the road. So you split that, that's a win.
Jaguars and Bears, you're going to beat the Bears. So that's two.

Speaker 1 And then you finish with Texans, Jets, Bengals. Like, you could probably win two out of three of those.

Speaker 6 I imagine that they probably will get to 11 wins. I could see them getting to 12.
Listen, it's awesome. The defense is good enough.
The defense is 100% legit. And then after the game, Mike Ford.

Speaker 6 Yeah, Jerry, maybe you can speak on this a little bit. See what Mike Ford did at the end of the game?

Speaker 1 This is torture for Jerry. We're watching a bet lose, and we're also just

Speaker 1 sucking the Browns' dick right in front of him.

Speaker 6 He took a terrible towel from the stands, gave them a

Speaker 8 Jerome Ford? Yeah. Jerome.

Speaker 1 But yeah, Jerome Ford.

Speaker 8 Mike Ford's the former Yankee.

Speaker 6 Yeah, yeah. Jerome Ford took the towel from the Steelers fan, handed them a Browns towel, and then he took the terrible towel and he wiped his ass with it on the sidelines with a terrible towel.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, it's Ben's right. You know, this is the Browns Super Bowl.
Oh, okay. So you're also triggered.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not triggered. Yeah, right.
Yeah. No, no linebackers, no Minka,

Speaker 1 poor quarterback play.

Speaker 1 Listen, Steelers have a lot of winnable games on their schedule, too. Okay.

Speaker 1 The only thing I'm mad about with this game is I really, really wish the Browns ended up kicking what, like maybe it was like a 35-yard field goal to win this game.

Speaker 1 They didn't really need those extra like 15 yards. I was really hoping because they outgained the Steelers by 10 yards.

Speaker 1 If the Steelers had lost but had outgained the Browns, it would have been so perfect. But we do have the Steelers.

Speaker 1 They have continued the streak. They have been out-gained in every single game this year.

Speaker 1 Jerry, so where are you at? You think the Steelers, you got to get off the mat, fight some more? Yeah, no. Still in the playoffs right now.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 the season's not dead yet, but

Speaker 1 if they drop this next game to the Bengals, the season's cooked.

Speaker 6 Watching that offense is just so painful. Yeah, no, it's tough.
You have not had fun watching a Steelers game in years. 2018.
Yeah, also, it was Mike Ford, Jake. Oh,

Speaker 1 double fact check. Wow, you got me.

Speaker 1 Jalen Warren should get all the carries. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He is the Steelers' offense that the second half, when he had that 75-yard touchdown run, he's so explosive.

Speaker 1 He's what you need for that offense because you need some type of spark, and he's all spark. And they didn't use him at all on that last minute drive at all.
That's crazy. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 And he had that great stiff arm today, too. He's without a doubt their best running back.

Speaker 6 And we don't know if it's because he's actually that much faster than a normal player on a football field or if he's just that much faster than Najee Harris. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It also, it is true, sicko stuff, but I do love watching a game like that where you know that punts matter so much. Yeah.
And field position, like a punt out of the end zone is a disaster. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You need to down your punts in the five-yard line and just get the ball back and basically punt your way to a field goal.

Speaker 6 The game is like just a slow war of attrition to see if you can maybe finagle your way into having great field position for the very last drive of the game. And I I love it.

Speaker 1 I love it. I love those type of games.

Speaker 1 All right. Next game.
Texans 21, Cardinals 16. We had C.J.
Stroud's first bad half of football this year in the second half. He was phenomenal in the first half.

Speaker 1 There was a moment at halftime of the early games where C.J. Stroud had more yards personally than any other team playing at the time.

Speaker 1 He had 259 yards in the first half, including like an absolute dime to tank Dell. And in the second half, he was not good.

Speaker 1 He had three interceptions this game.

Speaker 1 All three were in plus territory. I think two of them were in the red zone.
One was at like the Cardinals 26.

Speaker 1 Afterwards, he was asked about it and he said, Steph Curry doesn't ever stop shooting. I'm going to keep letting it fly.
So, gunslinger. I like that.
I like that mentality.

Speaker 6 Well, that mentality is only good if you're good. Yeah.
That mentality sucks if you suck. Yes.
It's like I'm wearing a Jordan Poole jersey right now. That is also his mentality.
Yes.

Speaker 6 Not necessarily the right one that you want to have if you're not very good at playing that sport.

Speaker 6 But much,

Speaker 6 I guess CJ Stroud has earned the right to just keep shooting at this point. He's that good where it's like, I want to go down having CJ Stroud.
I trust him to take chances.

Speaker 6 And he had his Welcome to the NFL moment today. Yes.
And it's always good when your Welcome to the NFL moment is also a game in which you win,

Speaker 6 in which you bounce back and win the game.

Speaker 1 Double welcome to the NFL moment. So he got absolutely smoked on a sack that I thought maybe he got concussed because he did have a couple of really bad interceptions in the second half.

Speaker 1 I I think maybe only one of them. No, maybe both of them were after that.

Speaker 1 But he also has Welcome to the NFL moment where you know you've arrived when we start making a big deal of your pregame routine.

Speaker 1 So he plays like 16 sports in a pregame routine where he's like whipping, it looked like a tennis ball on top of a stick. He has like something hip thrust.

Speaker 6 An exercise you'd see Jameis Winston doing with his personal trainer and like three dogs in the backyard.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Or like a BDSM like dungeon.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah, he was like practicing foul shots. Yeah.
It was all, he was like throwing balls into the kicking net. It was great.

Speaker 1 But that is the fun. Yeah, that's like the sign.
You've really made it when we start making freaking out over your pregame routine. But so for this Texans game, they did not play their A-plus game.

Speaker 1 And weirdly, I'm like more confident in the Texans going forward because they prove that they can win games when C.J. Stroud isn't perfect.

Speaker 1 Their defense kind of bowed up, stopped the Cardinals three times on fourth down in the second half. And I'm like, listen, when you can win when you're not great, that's a sign of a really good team.

Speaker 6 We said back in October that there's a chance that this team makes the playoffs. I'm almost ready to go one step further.
I think that the Texans can win the division. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Because they play the Jaguars next weekend, right?

Speaker 1 They already beat them once.

Speaker 6 They beat them one time. If they beat the Jaguars, they, I believe, are in first place in that division.

Speaker 1 They,

Speaker 1 right now, they're six and four. I think the Jaguars are seven and three.
So yeah. So yeah,

Speaker 6 they would have the tiebreaker. So they'd be a game.
The Texans could win that division. Like, C.J.

Speaker 1 Stroud is that that good yeah that's a big fucking game i'm excited for that game uh as for the cardinals i don't know kyler looked awesome at times and then he looked kind of short sometimes too yeah i would couple balls batted there's a lot of short guys on the cardinals that's kind of how they operate yeah he when he throws a pass to rondell more i think the the like average height on that play is five foot six yeah the the cardinals are are officially though like they with kyler murray back they are in full frisky can can pick off anyone mode they look like a competent football team yeah Collars back.

Speaker 6 That's the best you can say about it. And again, this is like as good as it gets for the Cardinals.
Much like your Bears, when you watch them, you want to see your quarterback play well.

Speaker 6 You want to see your team fight a little bit. And then ideally, you'd like to see them lose at the end to protect your draft pick.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly. So good job, Cardinals.
That's a win-win all around. All right, next game.
Giants 31, Commanders 19. Tommy DeVito.
Tommy DeVito Day.

Speaker 1 The guy has what he calls jersey juice.

Speaker 1 So jersey juice is to have confidence in the face of difficult situations. That was the motto all week in the Giants facility.
He was telling everyone, I got jersey juice.

Speaker 1 And he came out.

Speaker 6 I like Jersey juice. I like that phrase.

Speaker 1 And he threw.

Speaker 6 I call it Tomito sauce.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's, I mean, he played, he outplayed Sam Howell. He threw three touchdowns.
He now has more touchdown passes than any QB playing in New Jersey this season. So that's Zach Wilson.

Speaker 1 Obviously, Aaron Rodgers got hurt. Daniel Jones, Tyrod Taylor.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he also has five touchdowns. The five touchdown passes he has this year are the most touchdown passes by a Giants starter in his first two starts since 1950.

Speaker 1 Tommy DeVito might be a franchise quarterback.

Speaker 6 Again, he's got two starts, and he has more touchdowns than Zach Wilson. Yeah.
We started every game except the first, in which he played like three and a half quarters. Yes.

Speaker 1 Tommy DeVito might be a franchise quarterback.

Speaker 6 We made Tommy DeVito look like a franchise quarterback today. I was not confident going to this game.
The commanders should not be favored by nine points against anybody ever.

Speaker 6 I'm going to say that like in perpetuity for the rest of the existence of the franchise. Um, I was not confident.
We lost the Giants once already this year. Didn't surprise me that we lost again.

Speaker 6 Our defense looked like ass. Uh, we got we actually got a lot of sacks.
We sacked Tommy nine times today, so knocked him around a little bit, and then just on the back end, uh, just completely.

Speaker 6 I think we played man-to-man for the entire game, and then Tommy just found the holes where he could. And credit to Tommy DeVito, he had a good game today, he looked like a serviceable quarterback.

Speaker 6 I'm just going to quote Magic Johnson because I feel like Magic Johnson said it the absolute best.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 6 Exclamation point. My Washington commanders turned the ball over six times today and gave the Giants 24 points off turnovers.
We lost 31 to 19.

Speaker 6 I agree, Magic. I agree that's a perfect encapsulation of the game.
It's tough to win when you don't score more points than your opponent. And he fired that off like three hours after the game.

Speaker 6 That's been the highlight of my season, really, as a Commanders fan is just seeing Magic Johnson tweet a game recap. It's beautiful.
Way, way later after the game.

Speaker 6 And then post-game, there was no water in the commanders' locker room, so players couldn't shower. So the Giants and Commanders' locker rooms, they didn't have hot water at all.

Speaker 6 And the team said we basically lost hot water. We tried to repair it.
We couldn't fix it during the game. So sorry.
This Ryan Fitzpatrick's watching this.

Speaker 6 He's like, I really wish I had played a full season there. Yeah.
That's kind of my style is to just go stink and drink afterwards.

Speaker 6 But the commanders are ass. They're ass ass.

Speaker 1 So this is different than last week.

Speaker 6 They're assassins.

Speaker 6 We lost to the worst team in football twice. I'm pretty sure that means we're the worst team in football.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I guess my biggest question for you is Sam Howell was bad today. Yep.
And it was up against a defense that had given up 79 points in the last two games. Yep.

Speaker 1 How do you feel about that? Was it, oh, they kind of overlooked the Giants, or are you a little concerned because it felt like a step backwards?

Speaker 1 He'd been playing great ball, and then the Sacks came back. It's a step back.
Three interceptions came back. Like it was bad.
It's a step back. Tommy DeVito outplayed him.
Outplayed him.

Speaker 6 It was a big step backwards. But I still like Sam.
I still think we focus on Sam. We build around Sam.
I have not changed. He's still the guy.
Sam's the guy. He had a bad day.
You ever have a bad day?

Speaker 1 Yeah. It happens.

Speaker 6 Bad days happen. He had a bad day today, and a lot of people had a bad day today.

Speaker 6 And I'm hoping that the day was bad enough to the point where Josh Harris just says, okay, I'm going to fire Ron and Jack Del Rio.

Speaker 6 That would make my Thanksgiving. That would be great.
If we went into Dallas on Thursday, let Bienemi, like let Bienemi coach for the rest of the season. Yeah.
Because

Speaker 6 I think he deserves a tryout to be a head coach. We want to see if he's the kind of guy that we're going to keep around because Ron's got one year left on his contract.

Speaker 6 Piename, I don't know what his contract is right now, but I assume he's going to be here next year in theory. We need to figure out if we want to make him the head coach or not.

Speaker 6 Give him a shot from this point out to the regular season ends. Like, that's your team.
Yeah. That's your team.
Let's see what you got. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hank.

Speaker 1 Yes. Survivor.

Speaker 1 So you hank was on a bye this week hank actually he he is now a true loser because he did say to me he's like man having a bye week is nice and i was like yep when you don't have to watch your game your your bad team on sunday it's it's a comforting feeling yeah stress-free yeah but you did have stress i did have stress i was in a survivor league there was like 30 people left uh and i picked the commanders shouldn't have done that Tommy DeVito, they didn't even let him pass for like two games.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Sammy Howell's the guy. They had 100 sacks.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 It's actually got blown out. It's actually the first time.

Speaker 1 It did get blown out. It wasn't even close.

Speaker 6 It's the first time in 39 years that a team gave up nine sacks and then won a game by double digits.

Speaker 9 You assume going into it, the worst case scenario is a sweat.

Speaker 1 It also.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, the Giants were covering easily and winning the game easily pretty much the entire game. I think it was one point it was like 14, 12.

Speaker 1 It also is a good reminder that tanking doesn't happen in the NFL because I saw a clip of Tommy DeVito and Saquon after the game, and they were as happy as could be. Like, they're not going to tank.

Speaker 1 They're out there playing their balls off. Saquon was awesome today.
He caught two touchdowns. He was everywhere.

Speaker 1 Do we think Tommy DeVito has played himself into having a job as a backup going forward?

Speaker 6 I think we just need to remember that this is the Washington Commanders that he played against. Yes.
So keep that just in the back of your head. When you're evaluating the TD film.

Speaker 1 No, I know, but still, do you think he has...

Speaker 6 I I mean, he's going to have a chance, yeah. Yeah, he's got a chance.

Speaker 1 He's got a roster spot. Yeah, he's got a roster spot.

Speaker 6 It's a backup. Listen, Tommy, if you

Speaker 1 had the worst backup ever.

Speaker 6 If you had looked at the last two games that he played, I would say, like, definitely no. So now it's a conversation that we're having.

Speaker 9 Which QB in New York would you rather have?

Speaker 6 Josh Allen. Tommy DeVito.

Speaker 1 New Jersey. You got to say New Jersey.
New Jersey.

Speaker 6 Yeah, Tommy DeVito.

Speaker 1 Easy.

Speaker 1 It is kind of funny that he has more touchdown passes than Daniel Jones, who, how big was Daniel Jones' contract? It was like $160 million? $140. I think it was $160 million.

Speaker 1 Four years, $160 million, and Tommy DeVito gets paid $44,000 an episode. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 6 he probably didn't need to shower after the game. He probably goes to his mom's house to shower, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 He did.

Speaker 1 When you understand what he, like, I was reading more about it, he is right when he said that he probably couldn't find a house closer to the facility than his parents' house. Yeah.
Nine-minute drive.

Speaker 6 Yeah. And also, in that part of the country, you're paying a shitload of money.
So good for, I do not make fun of him at all for staying at home. Like, that's the dream.

Speaker 1 And now he has a quarterback win. We talked about Tommy DeVito being, you know, a future, you know, PE teacher or high school coach, having the jersey

Speaker 1 in his office, being like, hey, remember the time I went out and started against the Cowboys? Don't worry about the score. Now he can be like, remember the time? He's probably got a game ball.

Speaker 1 Probably got a game ball that he can put in his office and be like, look at this. I won a football game in the NFL.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I actually reached out to my mom, too. She was texting me during the game watching it, and she said, this team just frustrates me.
They seem unable to take advantage of opportunity.

Speaker 6 They always screw it up. She understands.
My mom knows ball. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she does.

Speaker 1 That was a tough game for the commanders. So are we...

Speaker 1 There's no worry offs.

Speaker 1 We're out of the hunt.

Speaker 6 Yeah. We're firmly out of the hunt.

Speaker 6 Listen, if we steal one from the Cowboys, I think now we have to steal every game for the rest of the.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you got to steal them all.

Speaker 6 I think it's all steal. It's a must-steal.

Speaker 1 You must steal all of them.

Speaker 6 It's a must-steal game from now until the end of the season. We're not a very good team.
In fact, we're a bad team. In fact, we're an ass team.
In fact, we're an ass-ass team.

Speaker 1 It was just

Speaker 6 watching that. No, I think ass-ass is worse.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it might be worse. We are ass-ass.
Ass-ass.

Speaker 6 We're going ass to ass right now.

Speaker 1 Damn.

Speaker 6 We're human centipeding our own butthole.

Speaker 1 Damn. That's tough.

Speaker 1 Shout out. Jersey Juice.
He's got a... Ravel probably already trademarked that.
That fucking slime ball.

Speaker 6 Yeah, Jersey Juice. It's just Red Bull Vodka.

Speaker 1 Jersey juices. Yeah, a little marinara on it.

Speaker 1 I like it. Jersey juice.

Speaker 1 Okay. It is very jersey to.

Speaker 1 He's so jersey that he's like, Jersey juice. It's like New Jersey is the one place that people

Speaker 1 have to face adversity. Yep.
Unlike anywhere else. Yep.

Speaker 6 That's what we do in Jersey.

Speaker 1 Jersey.

Speaker 6 What kind of adversity is Tommy DeVito facing?

Speaker 1 Tommy DeVito.

Speaker 1 He did have to be the quarterback at Syracuse and then transferred to Illinois.

Speaker 6 It feels like some adversity. My guess is Tommy DeVito has had a pretty good life.

Speaker 1 No, that's changed right there.

Speaker 6 Well, his parents look awesome.

Speaker 1 I know, but again, quarterbacking for Syracuse is adversity.

Speaker 6 McNabb did it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And then having to quarterback for Brett Bielma, some adversity.

Speaker 6 That would be adversity. There's some adversity there.
I bet you they had some great dinners, though.

Speaker 1 Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 Okay, next up: Dolphins, 20. Raiders, 13.

Speaker 1 Dolphins

Speaker 1 kind of almost blew this game.

Speaker 1 Their offense was clunky. They were sloppy, some turnovers, but their defense, their defense looks good.
And I know it's Aiden O'Connell, but this is why I kind of had the Dolphins on

Speaker 1 taking them off

Speaker 1 fraud watch.

Speaker 1 Jalen Ramsey changes everything for the Vic Fangio defense. He was awesome, had two picks.

Speaker 1 And yeah, like if the Dolphins can play the offense they played at the beginning of the year and the defense like they're playing right now, they are are a formidable team.

Speaker 6 So, since Jalen Ramsey's back, they're averaging, giving up only 13 points per game, which is pretty good.

Speaker 1 It unlocks everything for Big Fanji.

Speaker 6 And in a weird way, beating bad teams by like a very small margin makes me more likely to take you off the fraud watch than if you had blown them out.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 Then the hype gets so crazy. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 If they had put up 70 points and won this game, I'd be like, okay, big deal. You know what?

Speaker 6 I'll backtrack a little bit because I said against bad teams, this was actually the Dolphins' first win against a 500 team this year.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. Because the Raiders were 500 going into today, which is crazy.

Speaker 6 So now the narrative is like the Dolphins finally beat the good team.

Speaker 8 The Chargers were 0-0.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, that's true. Thank you, John.
Good point. It's hard for the Raiders to be 5-5 and have a loss to the Bears.
Yep. That's hard to do.
Yep.

Speaker 1 To be like, we got to find five wins other than this one. But yeah, I agree with you.

Speaker 1 Like, the Dolphins, I'm more banking on their defense coming around and starting to play really well and and expecting their offense to still be like a cheat code with Tyreek Hill, who is Tyreek Hill is out of this world.

Speaker 1 He has 1,222 yards through 10 games. He's on pace for 2,077 yards, which would be a record, obviously the extra game.

Speaker 1 No one's ever had 2,000 receiving yards in the NFL in a season. He also, which is a crazy stat, he now is fourth all-time in Dolphins history for 100-yard receiving games.

Speaker 1 And yeah, there's some franchises you could be like, that's not that crazy, but they did have Dan Marino. Yeah.
Like, and so they were throwing it around. He's fourth all-time.

Speaker 1 He's been on the Dolphins for a season and a half.

Speaker 6 Yeah, very impressive. It's crazy.
He's unguardable, just purely unguardable. And if you're a Raiders fan, this is, I'm going to count this as a big-time moral victory for the Raiders.

Speaker 1 I think Antonio Pierce might have gotten a job today.

Speaker 6 Because your defense played good enough where you can be like, we held the Dolphins to, what, 20 points? Yeah. Like, that's something you can hang hang your hat on a little bit.

Speaker 6 And if you're a fan of an NFL team that's got a good defense and you might be looking for a new coach, all you have to do is say, like, well, we're just a quarterback away.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, we have a breaking move.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're still in the hunt.

Speaker 1 You're still in the hunt. In the hunt.

Speaker 6 Let me, wait, I got to get a picture of this.

Speaker 1 You're still in the hunt.

Speaker 9 That was

Speaker 9 4-7.

Speaker 1 That was perfect. 4-7 in the hunt.
No longer super ass.

Speaker 1 In the hunt.

Speaker 6 Okay, wait. My mom actually just updated me right now about the Commanders.
This is good. She said, I really don't know.

Speaker 6 It's like rehearsing an orchestra and the performance sounds weak as though things don't sound rehearsed. Is it the coaches? Four question marks.

Speaker 1 She texted you at 11 p.m.

Speaker 6 Yeah, she knows ball.

Speaker 1 Damn. Yeah, she's right.
She saw the in the hunt.

Speaker 6 She's right. She was an orchestra teacher and she's like, yeah, it's bad coaching.

Speaker 6 She gets it.

Speaker 1 Back in the hunt. So back to what you were saying about the Dolphins like winning a game close against a bad team.
Maybe the Raiders aren't a terrible, terrible team.

Speaker 6 They're not. They were a bad team.
They were a bad team.

Speaker 1 McDaniels were in the coach. No, they're not.

Speaker 1 This was the first time the Dolphins won a game this year where they scored 20 points or less.

Speaker 1 So that is a sign that things are changing, where they can win a game ugly in a different style where they don't have to be like a front runner and just run and shoot all over your face.

Speaker 6 They're figuring out ways to win.

Speaker 1 I think the Dolphins are like, yeah,

Speaker 1 I'm close to getting them off the fraud watch. They're on the fraud watch.
They're on the fraud watch, but it's for a good reason. Yep.
They want to take them off.

Speaker 1 That's why the Broncos are trying to drive with a minute 45 left to try to win this game.

Speaker 6 I think they can do it.

Speaker 1 I don't think they can do it. Straw poll?

Speaker 9 I think they can win the game.

Speaker 6 I think they can win the game, and I think they can win the bet.

Speaker 9 They definitely can't.

Speaker 9 We still need a pass interference in the end zone.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we need a pass interference in the end zone. That's the only play.

Speaker 1 I wonder if the Broncos will try to kick a field goal here because that's kind of been their strategy all night is just kicking a field goal.

Speaker 1 It's got to be out of bounds, right? It's out of bounds. He didn't get it.

Speaker 6 God damn, this in the hunt graphic. Yeah.

Speaker 6 You heard me. I was ready to move on.

Speaker 1 It just, yeah, it just teases you.

Speaker 6 I was ready to move on like 30 seconds ago, and now I'm right when I thought I was going, they bring me back in.

Speaker 1 They got to get P. Ryan out.
He just fumbled. Got to put him in the doghouse.
No more snaps for him.

Speaker 6 Yeah, that ball was out of bounds.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's take a quick break. Let's do a couple ads.

Speaker 1 And I agree with you too, Antonio Pierce.

Speaker 1 He should be, like, don't make the same mistake twice, Mark Davis. You probably don't have to pay him that much.
You're You're already paying two coaches that

Speaker 1 aren't coaching your football team. It's clear that the team's responding to them.
Like,

Speaker 1 they were in this game.

Speaker 1 Just give them the fucking ⁇ give them the job. Yeah.
You don't have to do the interviews. I think maybe he likes to interview and take people to his PF Changs.

Speaker 6 He likes to go out to dinner and likes to take people to the orb, shove around Vegas a little bit.

Speaker 1 You know what, Mark Davis? Here's what we'll do.

Speaker 1 Since you love to wine and dine people, take them to PF Changs, take him to the orb, PFT and I will absolutely interview for for the head coaching job at the Las Vegas Raiders.

Speaker 6 Or if he wants, we can be the search firm. That's where the real money is.

Speaker 1 Ernie Ocorsi.

Speaker 6 I would love to be the head of a coaching search firm.

Speaker 1 Ernie Ocorsi gets paid a million bucks and he just is like, I'm going to call John Fox. Oh, okay, coach hired.

Speaker 6 You just look up coaches that have been fired in the last 10 years.

Speaker 1 You find your friends.

Speaker 6 Preferably a coach that's been fired twice in the last 10 years. Like, get a retread in there.
You give them a list of names. You don't want to.
And then you go golfing with half of them.

Speaker 6 And then you're like, okay, well, we're just going to hire the guy you wanted to hire anyway.

Speaker 1 What you you say is to the GM and the front office, the owner, you say, listen, what you guys need right now is stability.

Speaker 1 You need a guy who's done it before, not won a Super Bowl, but just been in the NFL for a while. You need stability.
You need a professional organization. So here you go.

Speaker 1 I have found for you John Fox.

Speaker 6 Here's Jeff Fisher's number. Yeah.
That's what you should do.

Speaker 1 We need to just, we need to

Speaker 1 calm the seas. We need to just be on a steady course.
Stability is the most important. You don't want one of these young guns that might end up being like an incredible coach.

Speaker 1 Like Kyle Shanahan, what has he proved? Oh, no. Let's go with a guy we all know.

Speaker 1 You know, Hugh Jackson is out there.

Speaker 6 He went through some tough times.

Speaker 1 He knows stability.

Speaker 6 You know, it'd be great if they brought back Mike Shanahan, former coach of the Trainers before he got...

Speaker 1 He's his name. Yeah.

Speaker 6 He got traded away.

Speaker 6 That would be interesting because you could sell Mark Davis on the fact that if you want the Mike Shanahan, all the fruits of the coaching tree, like look at all the roots of the coaches.

Speaker 6 You got to go to the roots and you got to get Mike in the building. And then, in like 10 years, start hiring all of his assistants to be the head coach.
Yes. And then you'll be good.

Speaker 1 And then it will happen again. All right.
Let's take a break. We'll do a couple ads and maybe the Broncos will score and win this game.
We'll talk about that after these ads.

Speaker 4 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 4 Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter.

Speaker 4 And only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 4 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 4 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 8 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 8 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 8 My personal favorite, the blazing buffalo chicken, hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 8 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 8 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead Deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 All right, while we were doing ads, Russell Wilson just drove the Broncos down the field for a go-ahead touchdown with Cortland Sutton. That was an incredible drive by Russ.

Speaker 6 It was a nice pass.

Speaker 1 Nice pass.

Speaker 6 We got good Russ back officially.

Speaker 1 Also, Javante Williams, they used him in the two-point conversion play, and it didn't work, so that makes me feel a little better.

Speaker 6 It would have been the worst if he had gotten the two-point conversion because who cares?

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly. And you've been like, oh, that was a goal-line play, but we never got to goal line.
That was

Speaker 1 Russell Wilson might be back.

Speaker 6 He's back to, I guess, the better version of Russell that we saw at the end of his Seahawks career. He's not like back back to old, old Russ.
You know, he's like good Russ, not great Russ.

Speaker 1 Right. But he's.

Speaker 6 But good Russ with this team, obviously, we're seeing right now. You can win a lot of football games with good Russ.

Speaker 1 And it's, again, it's more like long-term picture where this is now not a situation where you're saying to yourself, we have to eat all this money and cut him because it's untenable.

Speaker 1 Like, the Broncos are going to be five and five if they can close this out because Josh Dobbs still has a minute left. So, this game is far from over.
But, like, you have options now.

Speaker 1 You can use your draft pick. You can do a lot of different things if you are the Broncos

Speaker 1 and you want to go forward with Russ.

Speaker 6 There might be too much time for Dobbs, though.

Speaker 1 We got a minute to get it. I do think there might be too much time for Dobbs.
All right. Let's keep going.
We'll update as this goes.

Speaker 1 All right. Next up.
Oh, also, Jerry just got up and walked out, probably already in his car, probably already halfway back to Arlington Heights.

Speaker 1 I like the one nice thing about Jerry, like he does it well. When he knows he's out, he's out.

Speaker 6 He's gone. He doesn't linger.

Speaker 1 He just is like, I'm gone.

Speaker 6 How much money did Jerry lose tonight?

Speaker 1 $0. Okay, that's what I thought.
Although,

Speaker 1 he has, I gave him a loan

Speaker 1 because fuck banks and fuck interest rates on

Speaker 1 credit card charges. So I helped him get out of credit card debt.
So if this had won, I was going to wipe away his loan. So he would have won.
He didn't lose anything. Right.

Speaker 1 Except for the fact that he would have had his loan wiped away.

Speaker 6 Which would have been very nice.

Speaker 1 It would have been very nice for him. But we'll keep shooting.
It's gambling. It happens.
What are you going to do?

Speaker 1 It's about the stories and the friendships you make along the way. All right.
Next up, Lions 31, Bears 26.

Speaker 1 So this was the perfect Bears tank game. Justin Fields back, looked great, used his legs, hit DJ Moore, climbed the pocket, hit DJ Moore with a dime, had 104 yards rushing.

Speaker 1 The Bears controlled this game.

Speaker 1 Their defense was buzzing, turned over Jared Goff three times, another turnover on a fumble, and then we got down to the last two minutes, and the Bears went to full tank offense where they just ran the ball up the middle twice and then took a deep shot that had no chance of being converted.

Speaker 1 I want to, it would be nice for Justin Fields to win a couple games, but in terms of big picture, this was a perfect game because he looked good.

Speaker 1 The Bears competed, and Matt Eberflus is 100% not the coach and should be fired. He loses every game like this.

Speaker 1 He is a complete coward of a coach, and their draft position stays intact, and I can live with it.

Speaker 6 This is the same conversation we were having last year, though, too. I know.

Speaker 1 No, I know. Well, that's the common denominator.
It's good. Matt Eberflus is a bad coach.

Speaker 6 It's good that, at least at this point, we know that Matt Eberflues is not going to be around next year.

Speaker 1 There were rumors that he was maybe going to save his job because the defense has been playing a lot better. That needs to just be snuffed out.
Like, he's a loser of a coach.

Speaker 1 He coaches games too loose.

Speaker 6 So, this was the first time in NFL history

Speaker 6 that a team had a plus-three turnover margin, 40 minutes time of possession, and lost.

Speaker 6 It never happened going back to 1932. Teams were 48-0 until the Bears did that today.
And remember, this is his masterpiece.

Speaker 1 This is his masterpiece. And remember, this is also,

Speaker 1 the Bears had earlier this year

Speaker 1 a game where it was split time of possession 30-30, but a plus-five turnover margin against the Saints and lost that game. Matty Brufloos is a loser of a head coach.
He needs to be gone.

Speaker 1 I agree with you, though. It is like kind of deja vu where it's like, are the Bears just going to stick in this land of

Speaker 1 just like every time they lose? I'm like, it's okay. Draft picks.

Speaker 1 I don't really have an answer to that question. It does feel like I'm in Groundhog's Day.

Speaker 1 And maybe I'm foolish to think that next year will be us breaking

Speaker 1 Groundhog's Day. But I guess that's what happens when you're a Groundhog's Day.
You think the next day you wake up, you're not going to be there anymore.

Speaker 1 So I'm just telling myself next year, when we get to week one, we won't be there anymore.

Speaker 1 But yeah, we could be sitting here at this exact point next year, and I'm having the exact same conversation with you. And you're going to be like, are you okay? Are you okay?

Speaker 6 What do you think people called it before the movie Groundhog's Day came out?

Speaker 1 I don't know. It's a good question.
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 6 I think they just invented a new word for it, a new explanation for it. But yeah, it is the same conversation we had last year.

Speaker 6 But it's also like completely logical on your end to say it's good for the team if we get a better draft pick.

Speaker 6 It's good for the team if the defense plays well. It's good for the team if Justin Fields looks competitive.
These are all bonuses.

Speaker 6 Those are all exactly what you're looking for, but a win accomplishes nothing.

Speaker 1 Don't, yeah.

Speaker 1 I'd say the biggest thing is you have to maybe win a game in September. Or, yeah.
Winning games in September might break you from this cycle where you're like, you know, so quickly saying draft pick.

Speaker 6 It would also help if you won a divisional game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because we don't win those.

Speaker 6 I think since Iberfluce said, was it him or Poles that said, we're going to take the division, we're not going to give it back? No.

Speaker 1 He doesn't win them.

Speaker 6 Matt Iberflues has not won a divisional game.

Speaker 1 No, since any head coach. And he's like leading in all of them.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And guess what? We're playing the Vikings on Monday night. It'll probably be the same thing where it's like they look good for a few quarters and they go into turtle mode.

Speaker 1 Yeah, whatever. I'm in Groundhog's Day.
It's fine. I'll be fine.
Two picks. I'm fine.

Speaker 6 That is actually the right response to after this game. Yeah.
It does sound like loser talk, but guess what? When you lose, you might as well get some advantage afterwards.

Speaker 6 This is like the most productive loss that you can possibly have. Right.
Your coach is one step closer to being fired, and you do get a better draft pick out of it.

Speaker 6 So it makes sense to spin it this way. I would definitely spin it that way if I were you.

Speaker 1 I had another moment the other day where it just like clicked on me because our good friend Kyle Long, he wasn't able to, he didn't have his credit card, so he couldn't stay in the hotel when he came to Chicago, came to the office.

Speaker 1 So he stayed in my house. And when my son woke up and walked down the stairs, there's this behemoth of a man standing at the bottom of the stairs.
He's like, what the hell?

Speaker 1 And I was like, this is my friend Kyle. He played for the Bears.
And he immediately said, he's like, when the Bears lose, they actually win. And Kyle looked at me and he's like, Really?

Speaker 1 And I was like, yeah, dude. Like, you know, you know how it works here.

Speaker 6 Listen, he might, he's going to be in for a life of pain.

Speaker 6 You got to get started early on the spend zones when losses are wins you win a lot yeah yeah you almost never lose actually yeah uh as for the lions yeah i was gonna say if you're a detroit fan um you probably had your diaper on today this is a full diaper game i'm gonna give this two diapers on a scale of uh of zero to two and a half diapers it was bad it was bad for the most part of the game and then you ended up winning so you got to be happy about that and the thing is Jameson Williams, I think, makes like a big difference.

Speaker 6 Now that he's like

Speaker 6 the flow of the offense, he is so fucking fast. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 So Jared was not good today for the first 56 minutes of the game. He kind of looked lost.
He was turning the ball over.

Speaker 1 He was rushed in the pocket. Then when they came to winning time, he had, they were down 12 with 4.15 left.

Speaker 1 He drove them down for a touchdown in a minute and 16, which is like really the only way you can come back from down 12 is you have to do it very fast.

Speaker 1 That dime he threw to Jameson Williams was incredible.

Speaker 1 And then the last drive, he did the same thing where he just perfectly diced up the Bears, moved the ball down the field for the game-winning touchdown. Also, shout out Darnell Wright,

Speaker 1 my MVP of the week. That was great for kicking the ball out of the end zone and not having the spread get in jeopardy.

Speaker 1 So, yeah.

Speaker 6 Mutchison was about to recover that for a touchdown.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no doubt about it. But the Lions are flirting with stuff right now.
I don't know. You know what, though?

Speaker 6 You could also say the Lions are learning how to win.

Speaker 6 In true Michigan form, they're battling through a whole bunch of adversity that they created for themselves.

Speaker 1 Okay, so I think this Lions team, this offense is very, very good. I have concerns about the defense.

Speaker 1 Lions fans probably would agree with this statement. It does feel at times when you look at their season thus far.
Can't apologize for being 7-3.

Speaker 1 Maybe a lot of weight put it on that first week one win against the Chiefs.

Speaker 6 Yeah, when they didn't have Kelsey.

Speaker 1 They're going to have a game coming up.

Speaker 1 Let me look at their schedule real quick where they're going to have to beat. Or Or sorry, they're 8-2.

Speaker 1 I apologize. People are going to, I'm definitely going to get some tweets right there.
Now you've caught up. They're 8-2.
I apologize.

Speaker 1 They have a game against the Cowboys, second to last week of the season. That will be a big one.

Speaker 6 How sick is it, though, if you're a Lions fan, that you get to enjoy this Thanksgiving game? Yeah. That's awesome.

Speaker 1 No, look, they're going to go to the playoffs, and I do think they can win playoff games. I just...
Their defense does make people nervous. The Bears were able to move the ball very well on them.

Speaker 1 They had like

Speaker 1 25 first downs. That's a lot of first downs.

Speaker 6 That's a ton of of first downs.

Speaker 1 I don't think we had 25 first downs.

Speaker 1 Either way, Lions fans know where they stand.

Speaker 1 This season is awesome. You're building something awesome.
Now that you are officially a good team at 8-2,

Speaker 1 the levels start to change where it's like, all right, you're 8-2. It's no longer the plucky underdog Lions.
You're 8-2. You have a stranglehold now on the NFC North because the Vikings just lost.

Speaker 1 You have to figure out, you know,

Speaker 1 can you win playoff games? That's the next step in this whole thing. They had 25 first downs.
So this is... Bears had 25 first downs.

Speaker 6 Here's another crazy stat here. Down by more than 10 points, or I guess 10 points or more with less than five minutes ago, teams were 0-84 make that 1-84 per the CBS post-game show.
Whoa.

Speaker 6 I guess that's this season. It sounds like that's probably from this season.
But that's crazy. If you're a Lions fan, like your team doesn't give up.

Speaker 6 And in the post-game, Dan Gamble is about to cry, talking to Aiden Hutchinson. It just looks like a team that's very easy to root for.

Speaker 6 And here's another fun stat here: okay, there's four teams that have never made a Super Bowl. It's the Lions, the Browns, the Jaguars, and the Texans.

Speaker 6 The Lions have not had a better start since 1954 than they have this year. The Browns have not had a better start since 1994.
The Jaguars have not had a better start since 1999.

Speaker 6 And the Texans have not had a better start since 2018.

Speaker 6 Not as impressive with the Texans.

Speaker 1 But those first three.

Speaker 6 But the first three. Awesome.
I mean, especially the Lions.

Speaker 1 You have not been eight and two since 1954 the lions and the browns are good yeah they're good football teams and they're going to be in the playoffs and like i'm excited for that that's the the fan bases those two fan bases deserve to have some type of happiness and have like be able to wake up on sundays and be like i'm excited to watch my football team play those are the little joys that make it all worth it yeah you wake up and you're like i'm excited to watch this game if you have If you live in a super cold climate like Detroit, I guess Cleveland is probably pretty bad weather too.

Speaker 6 You get a lot of that lake effect snow. If you live in a place like that in the wintertime, you have to have one sports team that you're excited about.
You have to.

Speaker 6 That's the only way that you can get through those types of winners.

Speaker 6 And the Lions fans are going to be super excited, at least through January, because the team, they've got the best offense in the NFL. They have the number one offense.

Speaker 6 The Detroit Lions have the best offense, and it's not a fluke with Jamison Williams back. It's always good to have a guy that at the end of the day, you can just be like, go run past everyone.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 And we'll just throw it down for you.

Speaker 1 And Jameer Gibbs, like, they have so many weapons. David Montgomery runs so hard.

Speaker 6 And their offensive line is getting healthy, too.

Speaker 1 That was perfect that David Montgomery scored the game-winning touchdown. Yeah.
Let him walk for nothing. Yep.
For nothing. All right.
Wait. So the game just ended.
The Broncos won.

Speaker 1 We got to talk about the Broncos real quick. The Broncos might be good.
They're in the hunt. Like, this is three wins in a row.
Or sorry, four wins in a row.

Speaker 1 Two of them coming against the Bills and the Chiefs, and a really red-hot Vikings team.

Speaker 1 Next week's going to be awesome. They're playing the Browns.

Speaker 1 So that's going to be a huge, whoever wins that game is, the Broncos still have a lot of work to do to get back in the playoff picture or to get firm in the playoff picture, but the Broncos might be good.

Speaker 1 I'm happy for Russ. I know that we are part of the problem in terms of everyone making fun of Russ.
But again,

Speaker 1 that's the American dream. Just tear someone down, then build them back up.

Speaker 6 I mean, I'm going to continue to to make fun of Russell Wilson. Oh, for sure.
It gives me so much joy to do that.

Speaker 6 And if Russell Wilson has a problem with it, then he's actually the hater for making me not have as much fun making fun of him.

Speaker 1 Dude, the AFC is so loaded. It's crazy.
Like,

Speaker 1 if Joe Burrow didn't get hurt, there's 11 teams that all could have. I mean, the Colts are sitting in the ninth spot right now.
It's nuts how good the AFC is. The Chargers are the 13th seed.

Speaker 1 We'll get to the Chargers. They're the 13th seed.
Actually, their next game up.

Speaker 6 They stink.

Speaker 1 All right, let's talk about it.

Speaker 1 Happy for Broncos fans, though. Your season is completely salvaged.
And like Sean Payton,

Speaker 1 better coach than Nathaniel Hackett.

Speaker 6 I would say that if the season had started four weeks ago, we'd be talking about the Broncos as being one of the best teams in the entire AFL.

Speaker 1 4-0 in the last four.

Speaker 6 Yeah, they are playing good enough to be like, well, they've beaten some good teams. We think

Speaker 6 they are amongst the elite class of the AFC. But unfortunately for them, the first month and a half of the season happened.

Speaker 1 Jake, next time we have an NFL player on the show, I would like to remind me to ask him this question because I think that there's maybe some truth in this theory of mine.

Speaker 1 When your team is bad and you're getting closer to the trade deadline and there are all these rumors that you're selling everyone and you're basically like punting on the whole season to then get past the trade deadline and be like, here's who we have.

Speaker 1 Let's go win some football games. That has to be a galvanizing effect.

Speaker 1 Like, because that is directly correlated to where the Broncos started playing good football because they were that team that they were like, everyone's on the table. Come ask for it.

Speaker 1 We'll trade anyone. And then having, having no big trades happen and then being like, all right, guys, it's us now.
Like, they didn't completely dismantle this franchise.

Speaker 1 Let's go win some football games.

Speaker 6 And true to the Sean Payton method of just nagging all your players, he probably came back to him and said to a certain select group of him, like nobody, we tried to trade some of you.

Speaker 6 Nobody wanted you guys. So we're just going to roll the dice with the people that we have.
He probably just neged neged them that much. Where now they're like, okay, we're on a fuck everybody mission.

Speaker 6 Let's at least put some good tape out there for next season. Or maybe he does have them bought in.

Speaker 6 It seems like he's doing a much better job with the guys. Maybe it was good for them to get their ass kicked like they did and get embarrassed by the Dolphins.
Yes.

Speaker 6 Maybe that might have been a moment. I would like to look that up, see like the teams that have ever gotten 60 points dropped on them, what they do from that point until the rest of the season.

Speaker 6 If that happened towards the end of the season, like if that happened in late November, early December, I feel like the Broncos just fold up and they give up on everything.

Speaker 6 Yeah, but it happened early enough where they're like, fuck, well, I don't have to deal with, I don't have to deal with three more months of this. Right.
I better figure something out.

Speaker 6 I better do everything that I can just that my life isn't completely miserable until February. Yes.

Speaker 1 All right. Next game: the Packers 23, Chargers 20.

Speaker 1 Let's talk about the Packers real quick, and then we have a lot to talk about with the Chargers. This is going to hurt me to say, but that was,

Speaker 1 if you're a Packers fan, that was like the win you've been waiting for where a lot of the young guys start to contribute.

Speaker 1 Jaden Reed, Romeo Dobbs, Jordan Love.

Speaker 1 That, like, this entire Packers season has been weird because they essentially said we're going to have Jordan Love start. He's our franchise quarterback.

Speaker 1 And also, we're going to give him all young weapons around him and hope they can all figure it out together.

Speaker 1 And today they played well together, and you finally feel like you're going in the right direction, which hurts me, but I have to at least give them credit.

Speaker 1 If you're a Packers fan, that was the type of win.

Speaker 1 You're like, okay, even though this season has been bad and they're not going to go to the playoffs, you see those little games where you're like, oh, shit, we have talent and it will take a little bit of time to come along, but that talent is there.

Speaker 6 Are we past the point where we can say that the Chargers are even

Speaker 6 overrated? No, that sucks. I think they just suck now.
Like, I don't expect more from the Chargers than what they're showing me.

Speaker 6 I think this was Jordan Love's first 300-yard passing game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was the first time the Packers had a 300-yard passing game in like

Speaker 1 22 games or something.

Speaker 6 It had been a long time. And you can stop asking Brandon Staley if he's going to stop calling the plays on defense because he snapped at a reporter.

Speaker 6 We had coach snap alert in the post-game where he was like, stop asking. I'm going to stop you right now.
Don't ask me that question anymore. I'm going to call the plays.

Speaker 6 I think he's probably candidate number one for in-season firing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it feels like it's happening soon.

Speaker 1 More concerning for the Chargers than Brandon Staley snapping, which, like, of course, he's going to snap because he is a defensive coach and his defense fucking sucks,

Speaker 1 is Justin Herbert.

Speaker 1 He is showing early onset Rivers.

Speaker 1 He had a moment where he threw the ball down after it was either a delay a game or something and like stomped. And it was almost exactly like Rivers.

Speaker 6 Had thrown a little temper tantrum.

Speaker 1 And I do not blame him whatsoever. If you didn't watch this game and you want to be one of those Justin Herbert sucks guys, guys, go for it.
Justin Herbert got completely let down by his entire team.

Speaker 1 Keenan Allen dropped literally a ball in his chest for a touchdown. Quentin Johnson dropped a ball that was a perfect throw to get them in field goal range when they were down 23-20.

Speaker 6 If not a touchdown.

Speaker 1 Austin Eckler fumbled at the two-yard line. Like, Justin Herbert is not the problem.

Speaker 1 Everyone else is the problem. And I know that probably sounds crazy, but like, it is the truth when you watch these games and you're like, How can everyone let this guy down so routinely?

Speaker 1 And then he gets to a point where he's showing early onset Rivers. And I'm worried about that because that one little temper tantrum, like, oh my God, I've seen this before in this Chargers uniform.

Speaker 1 He's just frustrated at everyone on his team.

Speaker 6 So he is going into today, he was 29 and 29 as a starter. Perfectly even.
The Chargers were 482 and 482 and 11 all time going into into today.

Speaker 6 It is early onset Rivers.

Speaker 1 It screams.

Speaker 6 So since his first start, they had scored 1,502 points. You know how many points they had allowed since Herbert's first start? 1,502 points.
They were like the very definition of 50-50. So now

Speaker 6 they've given up three more points than they've scored, and they're 482 and 483 and 11 all time. Herbert is now 29 and 30 as a starter.
That actually feels better.

Speaker 6 If you had told me 29 and 30, I'd say you're exactly right.

Speaker 6 They're a very average team, but will always find a way to just disappoint you at the very end.

Speaker 1 And will always flash to a point where you're like, ooh, watch out for the Chargers.

Speaker 6 Yeah, but now that's what I'm saying. I don't think you can say that the Chargers are underachieving anymore.
No. I think the Chargers are just the Chargers.
They're just the C-words.

Speaker 1 This was, like, I went in this game, and

Speaker 1 my entire analysis, I think we talked about it on Friday, it was like, the Chargers shouldn't be three-point favorites on the road to anyone because the Chargers will always find a way to make the game close

Speaker 1 and figure out a way to lose close when they should win, and they should have won this game if you don't have all these drops and fumbles and everything. The Chargers have six losses this year.

Speaker 1 Five of those losses are by three points or less. Yeah, I would say

Speaker 6 the Chargers should always be two and a half point underdogs to everybody. Yeah.
No matter who it it is. And it'll probably end up 50-50 on either side.

Speaker 1 They always do that.

Speaker 1 Someone will make the graphic, which I love, where it's like, if you flip all the one-possession games, what would your record be?

Speaker 1 I feel like every year, if you flip all the one-possession games for the Chargers, they would be the best team in the league.

Speaker 1 They are like the bizarro world, upside-down world of last year's Vikings, where they are in one-score games and they always lose them.

Speaker 6 Or the Steelers. Yeah.
The Steelers this year. Yeah, the Chargers stink.
They just...

Speaker 6 I feel bad for Chargers fans. I actually had a bunch of them reach out to me last week.

Speaker 1 It was the Lambo fans.

Speaker 6 There are a few people that went to the cathedral, went to Lambo, checking a game.

Speaker 6 And I guess Chargers fans probably travel pretty well.

Speaker 1 It also,

Speaker 1 you didn't realize, I didn't realize it either.

Speaker 1 The Packers do two, it's like the gold package, they call it. Two games a year where they sell a bunch of tickets because it takes forever to be on the Packers season ticket list.

Speaker 1 So they sell a bunch of tickets to people who are on the list,

Speaker 1 like in the Milwaukee area. And basically, like it happened with the Thursday night game against the Lions, and all those people just sell the tickets for a shitload of money.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And so the gold package games are the games where like a bunch of opposing fans can get tickets. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Well, yeah, congrats if you're a Chargers fan that went to this game. I hope you had a good time at the Cathedral.

Speaker 6 I do apologize for saying that they weren't going to travel to this one. You're right.
Like Lambea is a destination. Yeah, it's want to take in a little bit of history.

Speaker 1 It's Chargers-Panthers. Yeah.
It's the least traveled to game. I would admit.
Or even Chargers. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Chargers, Falcons, probably.

Speaker 6 Take your pick of any NFC South team besides the Saints.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Like, you wouldn't, no one's like, I want to spend a whole weekend. No offense, Charlotte.
It's actually a beautiful city, but it's not, the stadium isn't there anything.

Speaker 6 I mean, they moved the Bahamas Bowl to Charlotte.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 That's how impressive. That's how beautiful.

Speaker 6 Great, great wintertime city.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they moved the Maui to Asheville, so North Carolina gets it all. That's right.

Speaker 1 Okay, next game. Cowboys 33, Panthers 10.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Cowboys deserve credit for beating the shit out of the Panthers.
They do. Yeah.
I'll give them credit.

Speaker 6 So per Jay Glazer, front of the program, Frank Reich's seat is hot, and it is, in fact, the hottest in the NFL. I would say, I would put Staley's seat, it should be hotter than Frank Reich's seat.

Speaker 6 But when you add in the David Tepper effect.

Speaker 1 I was going to say, the Chargers are cheap. The Panthers, David Tepper, it feels like he will fire everyone, even if he has to pay them to go away.

Speaker 6 I would love to see how many one-and-done coaches they can do in perpetuity. Keep this thing moving.
Let's just get one coach per year until you strike gold.

Speaker 6 It's not a good time to be a Panthers fan. You're probably bummed out about a lot of things.

Speaker 6 But on the other side, the Cowboys did what the Cowboys do, and they beat bad teams, and they beat them soundly.

Speaker 1 Dak's playing well, though.

Speaker 1 You have to say, Dak's playing well.

Speaker 1 Remember the famous quote? He's like, you won't see 10 interceptions out of me. He's only at six.

Speaker 1 You got to give Dak credit.

Speaker 6 Yeah, and give credit to Jimmy Johnson for being

Speaker 6 the most patient person in show business for the last like 30 years.

Speaker 6 He had a little pregame meeting with Jerry Jones who said, we're going to put you into the ring of honor this year. We should have done this a long time ago.

Speaker 6 And then he said, we're actually going to induct you in, I think, like December 30th of 1923. And then Jimmy was like, wait, do you mean 2023? Jerry's like, yeah, absolutely.
I got my decades.

Speaker 6 I got my centuries confused.

Speaker 6 So credit to Jimmy johnson he was a great coach and they talked about how he was not invited to be because of personal off-the-field issues that he had with jimmy or with uh jerry yeah so the two if i can change and you can change and we all can change long national nightmare is over jimmy johnson will be getting into the ring of honor it is funny that jerry jones had i guess you count bill parcels as well in this category but so he had one coach that would push back on him and he had all the success yeah Maybe there was something Barry Switzer.

Speaker 1 Maybe there's something to be said for that. Like, maybe you want a guy who will say, hey, Jimmy, or Jerry, no.
Yeah. And, like, I'm the boss.
You're not the boss.

Speaker 6 Just a thought. I just love the idea that Jerry Jones still grinds tape.
Jerry Jones is at home right now, probably with like three fingers of Johnny Walker Blue.

Speaker 6 He's smelling his shoes, and he's watching, like, Arkansas game tape to figure out which offensive lineman to take two rounds too high.

Speaker 1 He's an entire draft team.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I respect the scout team. I respect the hell out of that because he does actually, it's not like Tepper, who just kind of parachutes in and says, I want this guy, I want that guy.

Speaker 6 Jerry Jones actually grinds tape. tapes.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Bryce Young, I had two more points in this game. Bryce Young threw another pick six to Deron Bland, who has his fourth pick six of the year.

Speaker 1 Also, Deron Bland, he has started 22 regular season games. He has 11 interceptions.
The dude is literally averaging a half an interception a game. He's a fifth-round pick.
That's insane.

Speaker 6 He has more touchdowns than Devontae Adams.

Speaker 1 It's crazy. He's been out of this world good.

Speaker 1 My last point, and I want to know what you think of this theory. I think the Cowboys are actually in a perfect spot for the Cowboys right now because

Speaker 1 there isn't that much hype with them right now because they have had a couple tests that they failed, the 49ers, the Eagles.

Speaker 1 Like, they might just be able to kind of stay a little bit under the radar because they're a very good football team.

Speaker 1 I don't think anyone would say they're not a very good football team, but they're not talked about, you know, when it's peak Cowboys hype.

Speaker 1 Like, if they had beaten the 49ers or beaten the Eagles, they would be leading first take every single day. They would be talked about like they are Super Bowl favorites, all this stuff.

Speaker 1 They might be doing a good job of staying right underneath the fray where they could sneak some teams.

Speaker 6 So here's what's going to happen.

Speaker 6 If the Eagles lose to the Chiefs on Monday Night Football and the Cowboys beat the Commanders, which they probably will on Thanksgiving, then we're going to get all the takes of the Super Bowl Cowboys.

Speaker 6 Yeah. And we're going to find out a lot about the team because they've got a very hard schedule coming up in just a little bit.
They're going to have to play some very good teams to the point where

Speaker 6 I could see them going on a big losing streak throughout the end of November and through December. It's a possibility because their schedule is very, very hard.
Counterpoint,

Speaker 6 if they like win 50%, 60% of those games, then we will be talking about the Cowboys as being like going into the playoffs. They should make some noise.

Speaker 1 They should make it to the Super Bowl. Yeah, I'm just, I was thinking about it because I do think the Cowboys are a very good team,

Speaker 1 but they're kind of in that perfect spot because when you talk about the NFC, it's always Eagles, 49ers. Yeah.
And they're distant distant third in those conversations.

Speaker 1 That might be where the Cowboys need to be.

Speaker 6 I'm concerned about Micah Parsons. He needs to step his weight up a little bit.
Yeah, his scoop of C4 before the game and said that it affected him too hard. You can get on some pre-workout, man.

Speaker 6 One scoop of C4, not that much. Actually, the perfect pre-workout exercise.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's probably why you're able to run everywhere. So

Speaker 1 stay on the protocol. All right.
Last of the early games, Jaguars, 34, Titans, 14. Trevor Lawrence back.

Speaker 6 Yeah, so we should have actually sniffed this out when Doug Doug Peterson, when your head coach, after a couple weeks of you being injured, comes out and says something about how limited you are.

Speaker 6 Yeah. That's probably a good sign that you're no longer limited.
Yeah. So we should get Florio to investigate like a grand jury on that and see what they can turn up about the injury report.

Speaker 1 I can't wait to talk to Florio.

Speaker 6 Yeah, he's got so much fan fiction.

Speaker 1 He also was texting me because

Speaker 1 he wants to know if Dave's class action lawsuit that he's putting against the NFL. Dave Portnoy, our boss, has started a class action lawsuit against the Bengals.
He's like, is this for real?

Speaker 1 I want in. Totally.
Totally. One in.

Speaker 6 Mike will be a dogged, dogged lawyer for you. Yes.

Speaker 6 I'm just going to talk to him. I'm going to make him talk about Bill Belichick the entire time, just so that Hank has to listen to it.
Hank, where are you at with Bill Belichick?

Speaker 9 Same as it ever was. Coach.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Big game against Tommy DeVito coming up.

Speaker 9 Must lose.

Speaker 1 That actually was good. Oh, you want to lose.
Yeah. You're fully tanked.

Speaker 9 Winning does not.

Speaker 1 You're going to win that game, though. Probably.
Because Tommy DeVito coming off

Speaker 1 the pinnacle of his life.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I can't imagine he's hard to game plan.

Speaker 6 No, you can figure him out. I think a competent defensive coach would be able to figure him out pretty easily.

Speaker 9 That's what I'm saying. He's not hard to game plan.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Jack Dorio couldn't do it. Now, I was doing my radio hit that I do every Friday on 1067, The Fan in D.C., and they asked me about the Bill Belichick thing.
And I realized just

Speaker 6 how much being on this show has really fucked up my entire perception because I completely recognize the fact that Bill Belichick, I don't think, is a great head coach anymore, but I would be willing to tolerate him on my team and just enduring more and more losing and passing up maybe good, successful, promising young head coaches just for the fact that it would troll Hank.

Speaker 6 That's how much this show has fucked me up. But it's also, it would be very, very funny.
So I am kind of hoping for that still.

Speaker 9 I mean, what young coach would you take over Bill Belichick? That's a crazy statement.

Speaker 1 There's young coaches.

Speaker 9 That's a backhanded compliment lie cap statement you've ever made. I mean, you're done with Belichick.

Speaker 9 No, but I'm saying you're like, oh, I don't know if, you know, I would do it as a troll.

Speaker 4 No, you would do it for anything.

Speaker 9 You would do it over anyone. No, I wouldn't.
I'm a young coach who would rather have

Speaker 1 okay.

Speaker 6 From like a pure football standpoint right now, I would probably want Ben Johnson as a head coach.

Speaker 1 That's a lie. Why?

Speaker 6 What has Belichick done in the last couple years?

Speaker 9 He made it to the playoffs with Mac Jones. That's true.

Speaker 6 That's a valid point.

Speaker 1 Also, Hank could reverse it and be like, he hasn't had a franchise quarterback, but Washington does.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 6 I don't know if I want Sam Howard to take a step back in terms of the coaching that he's getting, though. Because right now he's got Rivera, as you brought up so astutely a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 6 Belichick might not be able to talk to him the same way.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I mean, you want Bill Belichick that.

Speaker 9 That was an unnecessary.

Speaker 6 No, I just want him just to fuck with you.

Speaker 1 That's a shit statement.

Speaker 6 No,

Speaker 6 I'm being honest with you. I want him just to fuck with you.

Speaker 1 No, you just want him. It's okay.
You can admit it.

Speaker 6 I want him to fuck with you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, you want him.

Speaker 6 I don't want him.

Speaker 6 I do want him. I do want him.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 6 the reasoning behind it is just so that I can.

Speaker 8 No, there can be two reasons. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, okay. Down, you want him because you think he's a good coach.

Speaker 6 There are two reasons.

Speaker 1 Ben Johnson? Yeah, it's okay to. Your number one reason could be Hank.
It's okay to also admit that he's a good coach.

Speaker 6 I don't know if he's a great coach anymore.

Speaker 1 He's better than what you have now. Yes.
Oh, Ben fucking Johnson. He's better than any other option out there.
Agreed, Jake. Who is Ben Johnson? The OOC for the Lions.

Speaker 6 Best offense of the league.

Speaker 1 We should talk about the Jaguars Titans. Trevor Lawrence is back.
He scored. He had four touchdowns today.
He's actually

Speaker 1 three times in his career had four total touchdowns. He had two passing, two running.
Two out of those three have come against the Titans. So we got to remind ourselves that he owns the Titans.

Speaker 6 The Titans do not look good. No,

Speaker 1 they are ass.

Speaker 6 They look close to the Q word.

Speaker 1 Quit. Yeah, their offensive line is bad.

Speaker 1 I feel bad for Will levis it's like yeah they're bad that it felt like he was running for his life the entire game yeah at least if you're a titans fan you have you still have the thought in your head like will levis can be very very good he might be the guy yeah and it's they're smart to have him be playing instead of ryan tanneho because ryan tannell probably is better than him right now but you got to figure it out right now yeah but besides that there's not not a whole lot to look forward to if you're a titans fan for the for the remainder of the season no you guys guys stink.

Speaker 1 It's a fact. And the Jaguars scheduled win.
Prisco scheduled win. That Texans game is going to be great.
I'm very excited for it. That will be a huge, huge game for the AFC South.

Speaker 1 Terms apply.

Speaker 1 All right. Afternoon games.
49ers, 27. Bucks, 14.
Brock Purdy back to be in the league.

Speaker 6 Brock Purdy was so good today. Also, so, so good today.
He was dropping dimes at 74-yarder to Ayuk. Was just like an outstanding throw.

Speaker 6 He's the first 49ers quarterback with a minimum of 20 attempts to have a perfect passer rating of 158.3. 49ers have had some pretty good quarterbacks over the course of their history.

Speaker 6 He's the first one to do that. And that was just a stark reminder to me that I don't know what the fuck goes into a quarterback rating.
158.3 is the best that you can do.

Speaker 6 I don't know how they come up with that.

Speaker 6 I don't know the math. I don't know who decided to make it that as being the very maximum.

Speaker 6 I think they just said we want to invent a system where

Speaker 6 a good performance, one that looks good, is just over 100. That way, you know, if you're over 100, it was a good day.
Yes. If you're beneath 100, it was a bad day.

Speaker 6 But I have no idea the type of calculus that has to go into calculating that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's the dumbest rating of all time.

Speaker 6 We should have asked Fitzy. I'm sure Fitzy could have explained it to me.

Speaker 1 No, I don't even think he knows. No one knows.
That's how stupid it is.

Speaker 1 I'm working on it. Brandon Ayuk,

Speaker 1 he deserves more credit for being an incredible wide receiver. He doesn't get talked about in that wide receiver one

Speaker 1 conversation because

Speaker 1 there's so much talent around him. But he is awesome.
Awesome. Yep.
I'm also just happy that the Bucs, like, this would have fucked me up if the 49ers had lost to the Bucs.

Speaker 1 I needed this to happen just so it's like, I do kind of know football. You know, like, the 49ers are way better than the Bucs.

Speaker 6 They matched up well against the Bucs. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I just needed that so that I could feel that.

Speaker 1 George Kittle did a double dab today. He actually sent it to me.
I need to see it.

Speaker 1 He scored a touchdown.

Speaker 1 Double dab. Oh, that was nice.
Both hands. No chicken? Both arms.
No, no chicken. Double dab.

Speaker 6 That's nice. Double dab.

Speaker 1 Kittle's so fucking good.

Speaker 6 I feel bad for...

Speaker 6 I feel bad for Hufanga out for the season. That sucks.
He's one of the best players on the 49ers defense.

Speaker 6 That's going to be tough to swallow if you're a Niners fan. But still, everything looks like you're on the right track right now.

Speaker 6 This was a must-dominate game for the 49ers.

Speaker 6 Finished the mission today.

Speaker 6 It was a statement win for them. I'm still all in on that team.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm all in on that team, and the Bucs just like they're they just stay in the someone's got to win the NFC South.

Speaker 6 Maybe the Bucs. It could be the Bucs.
It wouldn't be the craziest thing if the Bucs won. Who cares? It could be anybody except for the Panthers.
They should just.

Speaker 1 There really should be a rule that if you're not over 500 and you win the division, you don't get a home playoff game.

Speaker 6 Yeah, and at least in the NFC, the South division makes sense. In the AFC,

Speaker 6 the Colts being in the South really fucks me up. Yeah.
Really screws me up. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Rams, Seahawks,

Speaker 1 Rams.

Speaker 1 Rams. Pick on Friday.

Speaker 1 I said I was going to buy back in on the Rams, even though I said they sucked a couple weeks ago. Matt Stafford, gamer,

Speaker 1 like throwing dimes in the second half. He was bad in the first half.
The Rams offense was atrocious.

Speaker 6 Do you see the hit that he took? Yeah. He got actually folded in half.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 When he threw that interception.

Speaker 1 He's top three toughest dudes.

Speaker 6 He's very tough.

Speaker 1 He's very, very tough.

Speaker 1 But yeah,

Speaker 1 he was lights out at the end of the game. Cooper Cup got hurt, and he was still throwing dimes all over the field.

Speaker 1 The Seahawks,

Speaker 1 Drew Locke, that was something. He came in because Geno hurt his shoulder, I believe.
Elbow.

Speaker 6 Elbow. But he came back in.

Speaker 1 He came back in because that's how bad Drew Locke is, that Geno was hurt, and he's like, well, I still am a better option. Drew Locke came in.

Speaker 1 He was two for six for three yards and an interception that cost him a game.

Speaker 6 Did you see the play that he got injured on?

Speaker 6 It looked like Aaron Donald hit him like he was driving a car that ran over Geno Smith, just wrecked him. And then Drew Locke, he is the Moxie King of the NFL.

Speaker 6 Nobody loves Drew Locke as much as Drew Locke does. Well, maybe I do love Drew Locke.

Speaker 6 Every time he comes into a game, I think back, maybe my worst take that I've ever had on this show, that Drew Locke will be a five-time Pro Bowler just because I liked him on the sidelines.

Speaker 6 Who is he rapping to? Jeezy?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Hank? I think so.
Jeezy.

Speaker 9 Jeezy. He's gone from my city.

Speaker 6 Yeah, so ever since I saw that, I was like, yeah, this guy, Drew Locke, he has it. I can't define it, but he's got it.
And I continue to be proven wrong by that.

Speaker 6 But every time he gets it, I'm like, maybe, maybe Drew Locke. We don't know.

Speaker 6 We need to also always remember the NFC West coaching circle. We always forget it every year.
McVay dominates Carol. Carol dominates Shanahan.
Shanahan dominates McVay.

Speaker 6 Everybody dominates the Cardinals. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And that's why I took the Rams today.

Speaker 1 They swept the Seahawks. Yep.
And now the Rams, I don't think, like, we go back to someone's got to get that seventh seed in the NFC.

Speaker 1 And I know it was the Vikings for a minute there because they were playing really well. And if they won this game tonight, they would have been

Speaker 1 in a stranglehold for the seventh seed. And they still are.
Two games up or whatever it is. They're six and five.

Speaker 1 But the Rams, if they put together a couple wins, I think they they have the Cardinals next. They could maybe flirt with it.
I just need them. I still, my money's on the Vikings.

Speaker 6 I just need

Speaker 6 them to get over seven and a half wins. Then I'll be happy.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
This is a big step. This is a big step.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Last game, memes.

Speaker 1 Yes, sir. Bills 32, Jets, six.

Speaker 1 This was quite something, memes.

Speaker 1 This sucked. Even

Speaker 1 knowing how shitty Zach Wilson is,

Speaker 1 you really, it's as low as low could be. We put on this game.
We had Memes and our colleague Tom Lay sit front and center. Hank also bet on the Jets' money line.

Speaker 1 And we flipped to the game, and it was flip to the game. Not one second later,

Speaker 1 Jets fumbling the open kickoff. And it was just, that was the sign of how bad this game was going to be.
Zach Wilson got benched for Tim Boyle. Zach Wilson,

Speaker 1 there was a clip of him going back out on the field, jogging backwards, and he fell. He fell down.

Speaker 1 Zach Wilson ran over his head coach. Zach Wilson did everything today to make everyone be like, why is Zach Wilson still playing quarterback for the New York Jets?

Speaker 6 I actually saw the sideline thing a little bit differently. I thought that Sala saw his shot to injure Zach Wilson and threw him down a little bit hard.
He put some stank on the ground.

Speaker 6 He wrapped him up and he threw him down on the ground. I think if Zach Wilson had gotten up and his thumbs dislocated, Salah would have been like, yes, okay, great.

Speaker 6 Now I get to make the decision I've wanted to make for a while and let's move on. He said after the game, I don't know who we're starting as a quarterback next week.

Speaker 6 My guess is it's probably not the guy that he tried to injure.

Speaker 6 I think it's time now, memes, we can say Zach Wilson, his ceiling is not Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no,

Speaker 1 I don't even think his ceiling is like Josh Dobbs. It's just bad right now.
No, Josh Dobbs is really good. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Chad Kelly's out there.

Speaker 1 He is. Chad Kelly.

Speaker 1 What do you... Like, it's over.

Speaker 1 Oh, before

Speaker 1 I have people jumping down my throat on Friday, remember I did say at the time I thought the Jets could beat the Dolphins. That time is no longer.
The Jets cannot beat the Dolphins.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that time is past. That time is very much.
We might lose that game by 50.

Speaker 1 The Jets are so fucking bad. And you can tell, too, what's unfortunately happened with you guys is Zach Wilson, he's

Speaker 1 infected the defense where it's like, what are we doing? Why are we even playing? Yeah, the defense has quit. The whole team has quit.

Speaker 1 It's just not fun right now.

Speaker 6 There was a weird report that came out right before the game that the Jets are going to target Devontae Adams in free agency, which is probably not the leak that you put out if your team is trying to win this year.

Speaker 6 You're just like letting people know, hey, just hang on with us because we're going to try to get better next season. Just please bear with us.
So now are we officially

Speaker 6 officially not wanting Aaron Rodgers to come back?

Speaker 1 No, he can't come back.

Speaker 1 I could see him being like, all right, I come back beginning of December. Now we run the table.
Aaron Rodgers did that last year. He was like, what?

Speaker 1 No, no, no.

Speaker 1 Have you seen...

Speaker 6 He's crazy. Have you seen his offensive line, though?

Speaker 1 I know, but Aaron Rodgers, what, he has like two, three seasons left, maybe? Okay, but if you're four and seven because you're going to lose the Dolphins. I'm with you.

Speaker 1 How are you going to run the table and jump? Right now, you'd have to jump like five teams in the AFC.

Speaker 1 I'm with you, but Aaron Rodgers in his head, knowing how good he is, just being like, I come back, we run the table, we win some games.

Speaker 1 This is just if you're Aaron Rodgers. You're the third to last team in the AFC right now.
If you're Aaron Rodgers. You're still what? Second in the NFC? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Third. Third in the NFC.
Third to last in the AFC.

Speaker 6 If you're Aaron Rodgers,

Speaker 6 why do you think he would want to come back and play for this team?

Speaker 6 Like, he's got eyes. He watches the games.

Speaker 1 I think he's only got so much football left that he just wants to come back and play. But

Speaker 1 he would hurt himself. I'm with you.

Speaker 1 I don't think he should play. I think he should just wait.
wait till next season. But Aaron Rodgers himself could just want to come back and play.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 I think he's.

Speaker 6 Aaron Rodgers is not stupid to the point where he would come back from like a devastating ankle injury, risk it for a team that really has no chance to do anything.

Speaker 1 No, I think you're right, but

Speaker 1 it's bad.

Speaker 1 This is a bad spot you're in.

Speaker 6 At least he had a sick post-game fight.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You guys

Speaker 6 wrapped it up in the tunnel?

Speaker 1 Where's our hats? Deion Dawkins sent us hats. Oh, sick.

Speaker 6 Over here. Yeah, you guys got to a fight after the game.
That was awesome.

Speaker 1 At least you're, you know, you have a little bit of pride.

Speaker 6 What do we got here? It's

Speaker 1 you already schnow university. Oh, nice.

Speaker 6 Here,

Speaker 1 I think I have a

Speaker 1 virus on my computer, Hank, or someone. Can someone help me with that after?

Speaker 8 Update. I've been trying to calculate QB rating, and I have no idea what I'm doing.

Speaker 1 That doesn't help my virus on my computer. I just had

Speaker 1 the McAfee antivirus thing pop up twice.

Speaker 1 That feels bad.

Speaker 6 That's what they should call Aaron Rodgers Weekly Hit.

Speaker 1 How do you

Speaker 6 be a good name for that? Antivirus? McAfee's antivirus.

Speaker 1 I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm in trouble.

Speaker 1 Yeah, look at these. You already should see adversity.
Shout out our guy, Deion Dawkins. All-time moment when he got pushed.
He laid like he was dead.

Speaker 1 And then he got up and he gave like an applause or looked for like a curtain call. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Did you see what he did before their last primetime game?

Speaker 1 No. Oh, yeah, he came in.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 He arrived shirtless to the game. Yes.
Which is a great move if you end up winning that game. If you lose, it doesn't look so great.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It doesn't look so great. That's a big fan.
Okay. So the Bills.
Offense looked a little better.

Speaker 1 Josh was taking some more chances underneath, like, you know, not taking these risks.

Speaker 1 Ran the ball well.

Speaker 1 Maybe Joe Brady has figured something out. They also had like a couple fumble luck where there was a fumble and they were all able to get on it.
His one interception was a Hail Mary.

Speaker 1 The Bills,

Speaker 1 you needed this win bad.

Speaker 1 It was a sound beating of the Jets. The Bills do have their entire season in front of them in the fact that if they can somehow go, they have to play at the Eagles and at the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 If they can somehow win both those games, the Bills are back to being a true Super Bowl contender.

Speaker 6 I would say that the Bills actually have the toughest schedule.

Speaker 6 The Cowboys have a hard one, too. Eagles, not so easy.
But the Bills right now, they have to play the Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, Seawards, Patriots, that should be a win.

Speaker 6 And then they close out with the Dolphins. Right.
So

Speaker 6 they have an opportunity. Right.
That's the thing.

Speaker 6 They're not dead, dead.

Speaker 1 In a weird way, it's kind of nice that they're like, all right, now we can go find out. Like, either we are or we aren't.
And if you win a bunch of those games, then you definitely are.

Speaker 6 Yeah, they just got rid of their entire margin for error.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, memes, any last thing about the Jets? I mean, it's so sad. You're going to, whose lines is anyway on Friday?

Speaker 1 Dolphins at Jets.

Speaker 1 Oh, at Jets.

Speaker 6 Dolphins. Minus 12.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 eight, eight, eight, eight, eight and a half.

Speaker 6 I'm going to say Dolphins

Speaker 6 nine.

Speaker 1 What do we got? Seven and a half. Okay, okay.
Last thing, Max R report that said week 16, if they're in playoff contention,

Speaker 1 somebody told me that it was December 2nd. So if week 16, he's not.

Speaker 6 I just want to let you know that they're not going to be in playoff contention in week 16.

Speaker 1 Again, they're the third to worst team in the AFC.

Speaker 6 We stink. And I'm not saying that their defense is bad.

Speaker 6 Their defense is actually good, but they've just reached the point to where they're like, we have to be perfect and we're sick of having to be perfect.

Speaker 1 The punter almost had more passing yards than Zach Wilson.

Speaker 6 That was your best offensive play of the day.

Speaker 1 It's brutal. It was a great pass.

Speaker 6 They should have more said to play quarterback. Maybe have the special teams coach call plays.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 We're also just stuck with Nathaniel Hackett with Aaron Rodgers hurt.

Speaker 6 Did Hackett move up to the booth?

Speaker 1 Yep, first game of the booth.

Speaker 6 You hardly ever see that happen, right? It's usually come down from the booth. You've lost all privileges of sitting in a nice, cozy, air-conditioned, heated room.
But this is a move that

Speaker 6 I don't recall ever seeing that to a team that's not been playing so well on one side of the ball. Like, send your guy away.
Like, get further away from the guys.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I've never seen that either. Yeah.
But, like,

Speaker 1 his purpose was, you know, get Aaron Rodgers here.

Speaker 6 And his purpose also kind of faded after they beat the Broncos.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Now

Speaker 6 they just stink. That was his purpose in going to Denver, too.
Yep. Was just bring Aaron Rodgers with you.

Speaker 1 And that was it. Now we just can't score a touchdown.

Speaker 6 Brees Hall did apologize to you. He said, I'm sorry to Jets fans.
They don't deserve this.

Speaker 6 So at least Brees said that he's...

Speaker 6 Do you accept his apology?

Speaker 1 I accept his apology.

Speaker 6 What about Izzy? How did Izzy do today? I didn't get to check his stat line.

Speaker 1 He had one rush for 11 yards. Okay.
Yeah, we all bet him to score a touchdown.

Speaker 6 Thanks, Memes. Yep.

Speaker 1 Izzy was what you were.

Speaker 6 No, he's not.

Speaker 1 That was what you're putting your season on. Yeah, we needed some juice on offense.
Thought he was going to spice things up. Nope.
From the outside looking in,

Speaker 1 that was the craziest moment that that you should have, like, it should have clicked for you when we were talking about this game on Friday. And you're like, but we got our third string running back.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 wish I could go back to Friday.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Guess what? We got a return of a segment before we get to who's back of the week.

Speaker 10 And Brainon, I'll be right there with you, and I'll check it off my Christmas list in the country store while I'm at it. It'll make a nice holiday tradition.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's so cute of you.

Speaker 10 Enjoy all the more holiday traditions only at Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 1 Roback.com. Before we do Who's Back the Week, my Roback.com question is, PFT, I think the fans want to hear how the weekend was.
So let's talk about it.

Speaker 6 It was

Speaker 1 I have one bone to pick with you.

Speaker 6 It's very exciting. All right, pick away.

Speaker 1 Danny Boy Kane was never bit by a bear.

Speaker 1 He wasn't attacked by a bear. He said to be attacked by a bear.
That's my only bone.

Speaker 6 After I said it, I realized I said the wrong word, but

Speaker 1 that's probably why he was upset that I didn't clear it with him first. That's why you got to be.

Speaker 6 Fact or fiction,

Speaker 6 a bear attack implies a bite.

Speaker 1 No, it doesn't.

Speaker 6 I think it might. No.

Speaker 1 It absolutely doesn't. Okay,

Speaker 1 let me step in.

Speaker 6 Let me step in because Danny Boy is going to be very upset that you did not clear that with him before bringing his name up on the show.

Speaker 6 I did.

Speaker 1 I DM'd him. I talked to Danny Boy all the time.

Speaker 6 And you said I would like to bring you up.

Speaker 1 I was like, I'm going to bring you up and I'm going to clear it that that never

Speaker 6 so I said it didn't happen I said he never got bit he never got

Speaker 1 that was my only thing you crushed it otherwise I heard he is running for mayor is that true well nope not running for mayor doesn't have an NIL deal okay you crush it PFT except for you you

Speaker 6 didn't get $250,000 yeah which I would have had to match all right so been a problem so so when when they brought me out and they had me attempt the field goal and it was $250,000 to the local food bank I didn't know that it was going to be that amount of money.

Speaker 6 I had no idea what was going to happen. They were just like, hey, they want you to kick a field goal.
I was like, okay, great. Let's do it.
So I step out and then Pat says it's $250,000 to charity.

Speaker 6 And in that moment, I could not help myself. I just said, and Big Cat's going to match.

Speaker 6 And then the split second after I say it, you can see the look on my face where I'm like, fuck, I might have just committed Big Cat to

Speaker 1 $2,000. I would have matched.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I would have doubled actually. I would have matched.

Speaker 6 And then I had to try to take it back. And then in the back of my head, I was thinking, if I make this, there's a good chance that people will just hit Big Cat up for $250,000.

Speaker 1 Oh, so it's big cat's fault.

Speaker 6 No, no, I'm just saying like it's my fault for saying it.

Speaker 1 We live in a matched world. I would have matched.
But either way, you crushed it. So you intentionally missed it.

Speaker 6 That was a mistake. I intentionally missed it to the right so that Big Cat so that he would not have to pay $250,000 to charity.
So some are calling me a hero for not giving money to charity.

Speaker 9 Not the people that need food.

Speaker 6 You're right. They're not.
They're not good.

Speaker 1 Would you have matched?

Speaker 1 No, it's so easy to say you would have matched. He missed the kick, you idiot.

Speaker 1 I would have quadrupled.

Speaker 6 I would have doubled, and then I would have matched the quadruple.

Speaker 1 I would have taken a $1 salary until everyone was fed. It was a bad.
Maybe he had made the kick.

Speaker 6 It was a very bad kick.

Speaker 6 I'm not going to say anything bad about her. No, Herbie fucked you.

Speaker 1 Herbie was also really sunny, and you had a jacket on.

Speaker 6 And it was windy, too, out there. Herbie's dog was really the highlight of the week.
Ben. I got to hang out with Ben backstage.
Max. walked in there and then Herbie's dog made a beeline.
Right to me.

Speaker 6 Because he knew that he's an emotional support dog and he knew that Max, number one, is a neurotic freak.

Speaker 1 Number two, that probably

Speaker 6 he sensed how nervous Max was around the dog, and he's such a good dog that he went right over to Max, and he was like,

Speaker 1 dogs know good guys.

Speaker 1 And that dog went over right over

Speaker 1 the goodest guy.

Speaker 6 It is goodest guy. So when we were meeting Ben.

Speaker 1 Probably thought you were a dog.

Speaker 1 Fine. Probably started sniffing your ass.

Speaker 1 Dog guy.

Speaker 6 We all agreed that Ben is the goodest boy.

Speaker 6 I've never made a goodester boy than Ben. The best dog I've ever met before in my entire life.
But yeah, then once I got on stage, it was like, that part was easy, like hanging out next to Lee Corso.

Speaker 6 He's like a very funny guy, sweet guy,

Speaker 6 and just sitting up there and chopping up. That was like the easy part of it.
That was really fun.

Speaker 6 It honestly was like a holy shit moment thinking back to when I was on that campus, had no idea what I was going to do for the rest of my life. And then somehow I'm back there during college game day.

Speaker 6 It's like that to me, that was the one day where I felt like, maybe, maybe my life is the Truman show. Maybe this is just a gigantic prank on me.

Speaker 1 Well, you crushed it, and I was very proud of you. It was awesome to see.
It was like, I mean, like you just said, like going back to your campus, like that's such a cool moment. You crushed it.

Speaker 1 I think everyone watching AWLs, everyone here was very proud of you. It was very cool.
Like,

Speaker 1 you were throwing fucking fastballs everywhere.

Speaker 1 Like, all your lines were hitting.

Speaker 1 And it was probably awesome to be able to be like, I'm back on campus to see my undefeated football team.

Speaker 6 At the time, undefeated football teams.

Speaker 1 Undefeated at the time. It was great.
I apologize.

Speaker 6 For the record, I apologize for nothing.

Speaker 1 Max, people are saying Max is the reason why they lost. Not me, but people are saying that I was watching the game because I was invested in the whole day.

Speaker 1 So I was sitting at the park with my kids watching the game. That fourth and 18 was such an insane comeback.

Speaker 1 And I was like, this is about to be the perfect day for PFT where, like, the comeback and everything.

Speaker 1 Streamers going down the stadium.

Speaker 6 Would have been great. However,

Speaker 6 we still should be playing for the Sun Belt Championship. I agree.
One loss, like, we're still very much in first place in that division.

Speaker 6 But, you know, rough ending to the to the to the game but it was still an awesome day i regret nothing i regret i do not regret saying that i would declare jmu to be national champions if they went undefeated because i would well and you'd already said it so it's already been said do you regret bringing max though i regret

Speaker 6 i regret a little bit bringing max just i didn't think about the max vibe the whole loser vibe uh but max was a great traveling companion max and memes um but he is a loser like people are saying that he is the reason why JMU lost.

Speaker 6 It's a good possibility.

Speaker 6 The funniest part of the day by far, though, was when I was walking out to kick the field goal and uh max is walking right behind me he looks like a villain in in home alone like one of the burglars and he's got like this beanie pulled down tight he's wearing like a black jacket he's walking behind me and this kid just screams at me he's like who was like you from the past yeah it was it was my my former self and he was like hey pft

Speaker 6 Tell Max that he's a fucking loser. And I was like, Max is right behind me.

Speaker 1 And he's like, hey, Max, you're a fucking loser. It was great.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's not how the clip went. How'd it go? It had nothing to do with me.

Speaker 6 Oh, it it said, tell Max the Eagles fuck.

Speaker 1 Tell Max the Eagles suck. Yeah.
And then it was.

Speaker 1 And you were like, he's right here. Tell him.
He's like,

Speaker 1 he got so excited to tell me to my, he was like, hey, Max, the Eagles suck. Fuck the Eagles.

Speaker 9 People shouldn't do that to Max when he's in public.

Speaker 1 I agree. Yeah.
I agree.

Speaker 9 I have no problem with that guy.

Speaker 1 That guy rocked. No, but yeah, if you see Max.

Speaker 9 That's Philly Lovelace. Don't say it.

Speaker 1 I also got to stay. Don't say he sucks.
No. I got to swear.
Don't say he was the reason why JMU lost because I've heard people saying that, and I will not say it, but people are saying it.

Speaker 1 We had a couple interactions like that. We were waiting in line for the bathroom, and this guy was like, hey, I have a friend who wanted me to tell you something really mean,

Speaker 1 but I'm not going to say it. And then he was just like, oh, he wants you to know that you're a loser.

Speaker 6 It's pretty good. And I got a small taste of what it must have been like to be Hank for like two years, where I was walking around the tailgate section.

Speaker 6 And shout out to all the students there that were hanging out. They were great, except for the one guy that kept offering me Coke.
And I was like, like, dude, I can't. No, I can't do Coke.

Speaker 6 That's why I got to the next one.

Speaker 1 He smokes it to you. Yeah.
This is a nice speed bump for everyone.

Speaker 6 But I was getting some numbers yelled at me.

Speaker 6 And I can only imagine what Hank's life must have been like for all that time where every interaction that he had was just a stranger yelling a number to him.

Speaker 9 Yeah, getting that before he moved to Chicago is... I don't know what I would have done.

Speaker 6 This entire summer would have been miserable for you. But yeah, it was a great time.
It was very cool.

Speaker 1 Very cool.

Speaker 6 I had a blast there. I would have liked to win that game, but it wasn't meant to be.

Speaker 9 Would you have rather won the game or made the kick for the kids?

Speaker 1 I'm at.

Speaker 6 I would have rather made the kick, Hank. Good question.

Speaker 6 No doubt about it, because then Big Cat would have matched. I would have matched.
And I would have doubled his match. And how much money would have gone to the food bank?

Speaker 1 I actually said to my kids at the park, I was like, if JMU pulls this off, I'm just going to donate $250,000 anyway.

Speaker 6 But unfortunately. But they didn't.
I couldn't. And we'll never have that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Incredible day, though.

Speaker 1 I was like, really, really hoping they were going to win that game because it felt like it was a storybook how they came back at the end.

Speaker 6 You know what, maybe the best part of the day was?

Speaker 6 I name-dropped Pole Assassin, and we all remember the scandal from Texas football a couple years ago where the coach's girlfriend, who is an exotic dancer, who has a monkey named Gia that dances with her on stage,

Speaker 6 there was a biting incident at Halloween. I mentioned her on the show, and that's when Reese was like, oh, shit, you're like a walking message board.

Speaker 1 Yep, that's me.

Speaker 6 I would go backstage afterwards, and Stanford Steve gets on FaceTime with Pole Assassin. Oh, hell yeah.
And I got to talk to Pole Assassin. She's like, Yeah, my monkey's right here.
She's like,

Speaker 6 Thank you for the love. I appreciate you.
A lot of people have said bad things about me. Thanks for standing up for me.
So I love it. Happy to do it, Pole Assassin.

Speaker 1 Speaking of which, do you guys see Chiefs of Holic? There's a documentary coming out. Oh, no.
Tomorrow. Where? I saw a trailer on

Speaker 1 the ball.

Speaker 1 Like, I can't believe they turned it around that fast.

Speaker 1 I think they have him on record letters from jail.

Speaker 6 It's like serial? Yeah. You were now receiving a call from an inmate at a correctional facility.

Speaker 1 He basically did everything that Billy said he was going to do.

Speaker 6 That would have been great if Billy had done it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's okay. But yeah,

Speaker 1 great day for you. It was very cool to see.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Lee Corso. Yeah.
I know he's old, but we got to be nice to...

Speaker 1 America sucks with old people. We're really mean to them.

Speaker 6 We are.

Speaker 1 Like Al Michaels.

Speaker 1 We got to be like the Italians, where you just live with your elderly people.

Speaker 6 And there's still something great.

Speaker 6 Vito. I think my favorite part on stage was when Lee Corso just looked at me and goes, that pick stinks.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 I felt like Kansas State.

Speaker 1 How many people?

Speaker 6 Yeah, unfortunately, so I want to address the people out there because I am getting a lot of shit from people that took Kansas State.

Speaker 1 They lost a lot of money on Kansas State. Against the spread.

Speaker 6 Well, it was our friend Rico Bosco. Oh, it's because of him.
It was his game of the year, and he said it would mean a lot to me if you could shout out the game of the year. I did.

Speaker 6 And besides that, I think everybody came away from that appearance being like, PFT knows ball. He's a respected college football analyst.

Speaker 6 But how could he give me the the game of the year for Kansas State? And to those people that I let down, I'm sorry that I let you down, but I trusted a good friend of mine, Rico.

Speaker 6 And unfortunately, his game of the year didn't hit. So I'm not putting blame on Rico, to be clear for this.
It came out of my mouth. I said Kansas State.
Oh, I am.

Speaker 1 I lost a lot.

Speaker 6 But I was advised.

Speaker 6 I was advised strongly to take Kansas State. And I'm sorry to anybody that I let down.
Unfortunately,

Speaker 6 I trusted a friend too much. Do you

Speaker 8 think that your game day record was?

Speaker 6 No, I had like 15 picks, right? I didn't look it up.

Speaker 6 I basically just took down, they gave me the list on Friday night, and I just basically picked the teams that I thought I could write like a two-second joke about. Fair.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's a good strategy. Yeah.
It's a very good strategy. All right.

Speaker 1 Who's back? Oh, and check out PM TV because the boys were with him. So when does that come out? Tuesday? Tuesday.

Speaker 6 When's Viva TV coming out?

Speaker 1 Let's see if Hank retweets it.

Speaker 6 Wednesday.

Speaker 1 Okay. That narrative is going now.
No, no. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 You started the narrative. No, we've I've been getting a lot of tweets about it.
No, you haven't. Yeah, I haven't.

Speaker 1 Oh, yes, I have. You started the narrative, and it's going.

Speaker 6 You know what it sounds like to me? It sounds like Max might be in Hank's doghouse.

Speaker 1 Ooh, did you have to do that? No, Hank have a little talking to with the boys. No, we had

Speaker 1 to quell the mutiny.

Speaker 6 Are you in Hank's doghouse? No.

Speaker 1 Get one of them to flip Hank. That's what you got to do to get the mutiny off.
You got to be like, Max.

Speaker 1 If you come back to my side, I'll make sure I take care of you. Memes is out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 6 I asked the boys on the flight down there, I was like, have you guys squashed the beef with Hank? You guys talked to Hank yet? And Max was like, yeah, I talked to Hank. We're good.

Speaker 6 And memes are like, I haven't talked to him.

Speaker 1 All right. Who's back of the week? Hank.

Speaker 9 Who's back of the week is Tiger Woods.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 He is, he's playing again. He's going to play in the

Speaker 9 Hero World Challenge.

Speaker 6 All right. That sounds like a legitimate golf tournament.

Speaker 9 He also kind of who's back in a bad way. Him and Roy are doing this big indoor

Speaker 1 litter league. Yeah.

Speaker 9 And it just like exploded. Yeah.
The bubble exploded. Yeah.
Like they had some state-of-the-art

Speaker 9 technology

Speaker 9 for this facility that's going to have like an 80-foot projector screen and all these different

Speaker 9 green surfaces that they can change. It was basically the whole pitch for the league is the facility, and it's in a tent, and the tent popped or something.

Speaker 6 So it imploded on it?

Speaker 1 Like the tent is just flat.

Speaker 6 Oh, that's tough.

Speaker 9 So it was supposed to be.

Speaker 6 Do we have a time-lapse of it collapsing?

Speaker 9 I don't know. It was supposed to start pretty soon, and I don't think that's happening now.
It's tough, though, when your whole league is like

Speaker 9 this tenth, essentially, and the tent. You know, it's like the circus if the circus broke.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Also, shout out Rory.
He won the road to Dubai, which is the most important thing. That was his goal.

Speaker 6 Hey, that's your Super Bowl, Rory.

Speaker 9 But yeah, Tiger will come back,

Speaker 6 I guess.

Speaker 8 So So it's an unofficial PGA tour event hosted by him.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 9 Oh, so it's more like he's doing like

Speaker 9 hosting a stand-up note.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 So he's probably going to get

Speaker 6 Tiger should be allowed to ride in a cart.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I'm just going to say it.
He would never.

Speaker 6 He shouldn't drive the cart. No, he would never.
He should not drive the cart.

Speaker 1 You know, he would never.

Speaker 6 But he should be allowed to ride in a cart.

Speaker 1 He would never. Just

Speaker 6 for the viewers out there.

Speaker 1 But he would never. You don't think so? No chance.
He's too proud. He's Tiger.

Speaker 6 What if it meant that he could play with Charlie? What if it meant he could be on Charlie's bag?

Speaker 1 No, he would not. While Charlie won his first major, of which he will win many.

Speaker 9 He just won a state championship. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Charlie did? Yeah.

Speaker 6 Respect.

Speaker 1 Respect. Mad respect.
All right, PFT, your who's back.

Speaker 6 My who's back, I have two. Swag Kelly's back.
Yes. Did I see that Swag Kelly won the CFL MVP award?

Speaker 1 Sure did. Fuck yeah.
They won the Great Cup?

Speaker 6 No. No, they get bounced.
Oh, fuck. But there was a great play, and I watched it, and I was like, I have no idea how Canadian football works.

Speaker 6 They completed a pass 10 yards downfield, then the receiver punted the ball, and then two guys tried to fair catch it.

Speaker 6 One guy caught it, the other guy, his teammate, like tackled him, and then they started celebrating a hugging. So rugby.
I had no idea what was going on. But it looked electric.

Speaker 6 The fans seemed to have a good time. But yeah, I guess Swag Kelly is the best CFL player, which is awesome.
And he should be in the NFL.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 6 The Jets should sign Hanks Rice.

Speaker 1 Absolutely.

Speaker 6 My other, who's back in the week, is the Kansas State crops judging team.

Speaker 6 They won their 32nd national championship yesterday.

Speaker 6 The biggest dynasty, maybe, in the history of college.

Speaker 1 They've done a game of the year on that. I know.

Speaker 6 The crops judging team, I've seen the pictures of them in action. They look so intense.
They are dialed in. They're like at microphones on seeds and shit.

Speaker 6 I don't know what they're looking for, but apparently they're just no one can touch them.

Speaker 9 There's got to be like six schools that do this or something, right?

Speaker 6 I think there's probably a couple dozen good schools, but Kansas State is just the best to ever do it.

Speaker 1 I believe it. Shout out to them.
Something pushy.

Speaker 6 It's the best dynasty in all of sports. 32 is too much.
Looks like the Texas Tech. They are the best meat judgers, right?

Speaker 6 They win all the meat judging championships. Kansas State is that, except just for crops.
Love it.

Speaker 1 For vegetables. Shout out to Kansas State.
Ema.

Speaker 1 All right. My who's back of the week is our guy, Jaden Daniels.
Eight touchdowns. Eight touchdowns on Saturday night against Georgia.

Speaker 1 State.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 6 that's crazy that he did that against Georgia.

Speaker 1 State.

Speaker 1 He, yeah, he lit up Georgia. State.

Speaker 6 Eight touchdowns is eight touchdowns.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but especially against Georgia. State.

Speaker 1 It was an incredible performance from him. I love that LSU was like, fuck it.
We're going to go like, you know.

Speaker 1 playing video game style, just get our guy as many touchdowns as possible. He is now the favorite to win the Heisman.

Speaker 6 I love it.

Speaker 1 So let's finish the job. Tech SAM next week.
Let's finish the fucking job. I do.

Speaker 6 I like the fact that LSU is now just strictly making this season about getting him the Heisman trophy. Yeah.
I love that. Let's keep that going.

Speaker 6 I don't think that you can honestly make a case that it should be anybody except for Jane Daniels.

Speaker 6 And I'm only saying that as a true college football fan, not because I put a future on him winning the Heisman Trophy.

Speaker 1 And I would agree. I'd concur.
You know ball. Yeah.
I know the second one. You know ball, so

Speaker 1 I'm going to trust what you're saying right now and say I agree. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Jane Daniels for Heisman. there is no second choice.

Speaker 1 We'll also talk some, so Wednesday, so this week,

Speaker 1 Wednesday we'll have a show. Friday, we will not have a show.
Wednesday's show will be extra long so that if you have to work on Friday, you first should quit your job

Speaker 1 because that's bullshit.

Speaker 1 But if you have to work on Friday, we'll give a point in Wednesday's show where you can stop and save some because we're going to do the Thanksgiving Day games, Black Friday games, talk college football.

Speaker 1 We have Mike Florio.

Speaker 1 We're going to to have to talk some Harbaugh because I think that him accepting his punishment is a sign he might be on the outs, which I'm excited for.

Speaker 1 Except he might go to the Chargers, which I'm not excited for.

Speaker 6 I also heard the Raiders.

Speaker 1 Did you say that?

Speaker 6 No, I heard the Raiders.

Speaker 6 There was a report that came out that that's one of the teams that he's looking at, but it also might be Harbaugh linking himself to the Raiders again so that he could maybe get a salary increase.

Speaker 6 But I don't see Michigan giving him like a massive. No,

Speaker 1 I think he took the punishment and was like, I'll just, I'm focused on this year. Let's win some games.
No more distractions. Clearly, you guys want me and you want me alone.

Speaker 1 I'll be out of your hair in four weeks. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, Jake, finish this off.

Speaker 6 My who's back of the week is feast week.

Speaker 8 It is going on right now. One of the best weeks of the year for a sports fan.
A lot of college basketball.

Speaker 8 It's 12.30 in the morning Eastern time, as I say this, and we're watching an overtime game right now. There's college basketball like 18 hours a day.

Speaker 8 The Maui Invitational, I know it's only November, but it is one of the most loaded fields you'll ever see.

Speaker 6 Who we got?

Speaker 1 Oh, it's my favorite week of the year. I lose all my money.

Speaker 8 So, Purdue and Zaga is a quarterfinal game, and that's a matchup between two top 11 teams.

Speaker 1 Whose Shamanade got Kansas? Love it. I love the Shamanadeva.

Speaker 8 Yeah, and still in Hawaii, but they moved it from Maui to Honolulu.

Speaker 1 Oh, I don't like that. That would happen.
What's going on with the Rims?

Speaker 6 There was

Speaker 1 unfortunate event.

Speaker 1 Were you, Hank?

Speaker 6 Was that were you making a joke about Maui?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was. Sorry.
Apologies. That's all right.
It's all right. Yeah, so you're a big man for admitting that.
Yeah. I actually, the why would happen is a good joke, usually.

Speaker 1 But now the soft rims, we don't know if they're soft rims.

Speaker 8 Yeah, so it's a different location, but same state.

Speaker 6 I always love when they have like the palest basketball coaches wearing the Hawaiian shirt. Yes.
Like the guys that have not been outside, that have not left a basketball arena for the last six years.

Speaker 8 And we we have some characters in this year's event too with those teams. UCL is in it.

Speaker 8 McCronin, Shaka Smart, Marquette.

Speaker 6 Oh, McCronin wearing a Hawaiian shirt is going to pop. Yeah.
It's going to be great.

Speaker 8 It's going to be awesome all week.

Speaker 1 What are you doing?

Speaker 1 It's Pecky Kaczynski.

Speaker 1 Cubs won the World Series. They're showing the flashback because they're, you know,

Speaker 1 we're going to get Shohei.

Speaker 6 I actually, I like

Speaker 1 better than a wipeout.

Speaker 6 So, yeah, so we're watching. We're going to get Shohei.

Speaker 1 We're watching TV right now

Speaker 6 and the local news without any other, like, hey, this is a taped thing message off to the side. It's just playing flashbacks to the Cubs winning the World Series.

Speaker 6 When there's like a bad week in the news, I fully support

Speaker 6 news stations re-airing like really fun times that are happening.

Speaker 1 I think they're just showing, like, hey, this is what we're hoping happens again now. Oh, it might be actually the anniversary.
That's what it is. Today's probably the anniversary.

Speaker 8 It's also the anniversary of November 19th.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, it's definitely not.

Speaker 1 It's the anniversary of Malice in the Pastoral.

Speaker 8 I don't fucking call it.

Speaker 1 I don't know why they're doing this. They're just doing it, okay?

Speaker 6 I like it. Remind people of happier times.

Speaker 1 We're getting Shohei, dude.

Speaker 1 I did my season ticket draft.

Speaker 1 I moved up the seats, so everyone in this room should hope for Shohei. Can you imagine? There's a lot of seats.

Speaker 6 How far Shohei is going to hit balls with the wind blowing out? Oh, man. It's going to be incredible.

Speaker 1 Yeah, November 19th would be pretty late to win the World Series.

Speaker 6 Is that when they did the parade?

Speaker 1 No, no.

Speaker 1 I was just way off.

Speaker 1 They're just doing a retrospective because it was a fun time. It was a very fun time.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Great show, boys.

Speaker 1 Wednesday, we have Florio on.

Speaker 1 Let's finish with numbers. 18.

Speaker 9 No, no, no, no, no, no, 19.

Speaker 1 3.

Speaker 1 19.

Speaker 6 Do 80. November 19th?

Speaker 1 8. 71.

Speaker 1 Shane? Pug had 88. 20.
Pug, how are your ankles? 20. What do you got, Shane?

Speaker 1 10. Shane.

Speaker 1 Pug signing his tweets.

Speaker 6 Pug is

Speaker 9 the greatest thing of all time.

Speaker 1 I am Pug underscore Reporter.

Speaker 1 Ah! Big Cat gets it. 71.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Wow. I needed that after the Javante Williams thing.

Speaker 6 Where'd 71 come from?

Speaker 1 I've been doing the reverse of 17.

Speaker 1 Ah.

Speaker 1 Congrats. Yes.

Speaker 6 Congrats, Big Cat. Congrats.

Speaker 1 Thank you.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the club.

Speaker 1 Yeah, now I got to get a chance to get it. Are you guys going to align and go against us? Oh, for sure.
Hank and I. Hank, come here.
Come here.

Speaker 1 Imagine never getting this. Look at this.

Speaker 1 How about this turn? Imagine never getting this. Imagine never getting this.
Not me and Hank. Not us.

Speaker 1 Ah, fuck all of you. Hank and I are the best at this.
Why are you on Hank's side?

Speaker 1 Why I'm on Hank's side? No, no, not Hankers. Hank, have you ever gotten this? I have.
Have you? Yes, I have.

Speaker 1 We don't chop it up to you.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 oh, Max, how do you not understand?

Speaker 1 I know, but it's fucking Hank. Like, the whole thing is everyone against Hank.

Speaker 1 It's everyone against Hank. This came around very quickly.
Hank, day one guy. I've known Hank the longest in this room.
Max. Hank is always right.

Speaker 1 You guys got to shut the fuck up about this whole Viva TV thing. Thank you.
And start promoting. All right?

Speaker 1 Hank knows the fucking vision of this room. Max,

Speaker 6 one of us has to get it next. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, guess what? You can join us.

Speaker 6 We're going to get turned on.

Speaker 1 You're never going to get it. Never Never going to get it.
Never going to get it. Never going to get it.
Never going to get it. Hank and I have gotten it.

Speaker 1 Whew.

Speaker 8 It's kind of crazy in our first month, two correct guesses.

Speaker 1 Hank and I are better than you guys. You are.
That's a fact.

Speaker 1 Hank and I are just superior brain intellect than everyone else in this room. It sucks.
It's so easy. All you got to do is say the number.
Hank, tell me how you got it.

Speaker 9 I just said 52 and it popped right up.

Speaker 1 Dude, I said 71. Boom.
Pop right up.

Speaker 1 It's that easy. It's so easy.

Speaker 1 Isn't it so easy, Hank?

Speaker 9 I mean, it's never been easier.

Speaker 1 BFT, have you thought about just guessing the right number?

Speaker 6 No, I don't. I don't.

Speaker 1 You start to try to guess that next time. Because Hank is making me so much more angry than Hank getting it.
You getting it and just being such a fucking asshole is making you.

Speaker 1 Hey, Hank, when you got it, were you just like, you know what? I'm just going to guess the right number.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I was thinking about it. I was like, could I get the wrong number or I'd rather get the right number? And I was like, you know what? I'm going to pick the right number.
And then I did.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I I was like, look, there's 100 numbers. Let me just pick the one that is going to come up.
Honestly, don't tell me Max to do that.

Speaker 9 The best part about this whole thing is Max is trying to run the show. You cost me a game as well.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1 I could talk about this. Oh, we can talk about getting the numbers.
You guys want to shut off the lights?

Speaker 1 Hank and I will just hang out talking about getting the numbers, which you guys have never gotten.

Speaker 6 I got to turn on Max now.

Speaker 1 Why?

Speaker 1 What do you mean it was a turn on? Oh, you know what?

Speaker 1 He cost you a fucking game. Yeah, he cost me the game.
He cost me the national championship.

Speaker 6 You cost me the national championship, Max.

Speaker 1 Cost anyone?

Speaker 1 One thing people didn't know. Did he break a camera?

Speaker 6 Yeah, I was about to bring that up.

Speaker 1 One thing you didn't see behind the scenes, Max break a camera. Max broke a camera on College Game Day.

Speaker 6 Because he bumped into it because you were clumsy.

Speaker 1 It was clumsy.

Speaker 9 Max hit the camera, and then the next thing that happened is that it stopped working.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and then the makeup artist came up to me. Oh, well, a lens.

Speaker 9 Those are cheap, right?

Speaker 1 The lady came up to me.

Speaker 6 She was like, your friend Max broke one of our cameras here.

Speaker 1 She was busting my balls hard. Like, for a while.
Was she busting your balls or like being like, you just broke a lens? I think

Speaker 6 she had a realistic gripe with Max that he caused $20,000 worth of damage.

Speaker 1 We're on the same team here.

Speaker 6 I don't think that we are, Max. I don't think you understand how this game works.

Speaker 9 I thought we were all on a team until you said it's everyone versus Hank.

Speaker 1 Now it's very clear it's just me and you, Hank. And we're foxhole guys.

Speaker 6 What you have to understand at this point, Max, is that Hank and Big Cat have a powerful alliance right now.

Speaker 6 And now it's every man for himself. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Whoever gets it next. I got to get inside that alliance.
Whoever gets it next,

Speaker 1 we would love nothing more than one of you dimwits to just guess the right number and be part of our crew. But until that happens, we have no choice but to call you dimwits.
Because again, Hank,

Speaker 1 how'd you get it?

Speaker 9 I set a number and then it

Speaker 1 popped.

Speaker 1 I also was just like

Speaker 1 guess the right number and then it popped right up. We literally already did this conversation.
Well, we could keep doing it.

Speaker 6 Max, here's the thing that you're failing to grasp is that the next person to get the lotto ball actually is going to have some time where they can enjoy making fun of the people that haven't gets it

Speaker 1 after that next person gets it then by the time you get it in that fourth spot you're not going to have much time to like make fun of the others it shifts because there's what eight of us in here yeah you have to get past like the four or five then it's then we just got to pick on one person but right now hank and i are in the club and you guys no no no no no also you only have a hundred episodes to be elite otherwise then it's you're that's a fact That's a fact.

Speaker 6 You just made that up right now.

Speaker 1 No, no, he's right.

Speaker 6 Hey, Hank, how many episodes did it take you the first time?

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, he was bad, but guess what? What, Jake?

Speaker 9 Like,

Speaker 9 12 episodes of the new episode?

Speaker 1 Yeah, me, like, three episodes.

Speaker 1 Guess what? Guess what? That was the old machine. This is the new machine.

Speaker 1 What have you done for us lately?

Speaker 6 Who designed this new machine?

Speaker 1 Hank? Jordan? That's interesting.

Speaker 8 Flags fly forever. You're the first one to always say that.

Speaker 6 Yeah, that's true. It's interesting that Hank.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That Hank designed.
Also, thank you, Jake, for not announcing it and ruining my moment when you do that with Hank. What? When you're like, oh, my God.
No, when you were like,

Speaker 1 I was mad because you made me mad about Hank getting it, but I needed to just listen. I just said something.
That's all good.

Speaker 1 Okay, I'll have to go. I'll listen to that back because I actually will like that one.

Speaker 8 For some people, it's not a visual media.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true. She's here screaming.
You don't know what to do. I'm going to listen to that back, Jake.
I'm going to make an NFT out of that. I'm going to make an NFT out of that.

Speaker 1 I'm going to listen to that all the time. I just didn't like it when you did it for Hank.

Speaker 1 Obviously. Can you do a doot doo-doo-doo?

Speaker 8 Doot, doo-doo.

Speaker 1 Big cat gets the lottery ball. Yeah, no, well, also, Hank, too, because it's the two of us that would have gotten it.
So please.

Speaker 8 Big cat and Hank get the lottery. Oh, that was great.

Speaker 1 That was beautiful. And then, can you do a do, do, do, do.

Speaker 9 That's just for everything after Max says anything. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Bump, bump, bad.

Speaker 1 Max is never going to get it. Eagles tonight, though, right?

Speaker 1 You guys are dumb. No.
Hey, do we need to say it again?

Speaker 1 We got the lottery ball. You didn't.
You're still dumb. There were two smart people in here.
Still dumb. It's not you.
And you're not good at picking games. So guess what?

Speaker 1 That's not a game. I picked it.
That is not a game. Is it in a game? It's not a follow-up.
It is a number, though. It's literally a game.
It's a follow-up game. It's literally a game.

Speaker 1 It's a follow-up game. Oh, now you're putting it on qualifiers.
It's a game. Max is sad.
So we picked it so bad at these organs. PFT, you got to get it.
Love you guys.

Speaker 6 I want you. PFD.
