Okay, let's go. It's called my take for presented by Borsal Sports.
Welcome to Pardon My Take. Today is Friday, August 4th, and it's Grit Week presented by Coors Light.
And football is back. The Hall of Fame game.
Man, did it deliver. We're recording this at halftime, so we don't actually know what happened in the second half.
People are going to be like, damn, part of my take got so soft, they didn't wait until the end of the game. Zach Wilson went a blistering three for five, 61 yards.
Spun his way out of, well, no, spun his way into a sack. Well, that was very funny, because at the time, Chris Collinsworth was like, and look, that's the new Zach Wilson out there.
Look at him get around, moving around the pocket, feeling comfortable. And he gets sacked.

Yeah.

If you can hear that, that's the train, by the way.

We have made it to Chicago. We are actually outside the new Barstool Chicago headquarters that is still under construction.

But we thought, perfect way to end Grit Week.

We go all the way from New York.

We actually moved Max.

Max moved on Grit Week.

And memes.

And memes.

Yeah, he drove his car all the way out here. So we have arrived.
We're at our final destination. And football is back.
And Hank's doing a TikTok now during the show. Great, Hank.
Good job. So let me just set the stage for this show.
Come on. Real quick.
Real quick. Well, the thing about Grit Week, let's not get negative.
No, no, no. We're not going to get negative.
The thing about... Let him finish.
will kick your ass You could use ass kicking for us Shut up Jake The thing about Grit Week is We actually have a great time But on this show we sometimes have a great time by having a not so great time and hank has

been getting the brunt of the punishment for good reason though yeah i just want to say okay the best way to describe grit week it is it is one of my favorite weeks of the year it's all of us packing into a rv traveling around doing interviews stopping at random locations and essentially what we do is we stop we get out we have fun together something happens we get back in the rv and then we bicker for about an hour until our next destination then we get out and we repeat over and over and it is so much fun because nothing is actually serious we have fights but nothing actually lasts the thing is we don't really get mad at people that we don't like. Right.
Except for Hank. Paintball almost ended this podcast.
That video will come out later. But that was a perfect encapsulation of Grit Week.
We went to Paintball. Tensions got high multiple different directions.
We came back in the RV. We sat in silence for about 20 minutes.
And then we just pretended like none of that happened. Yeah.
And that's Grit Week. It was actually a perfect encapsulation of part of my take all in one week.
We had Billy flipping out during paintball, which you'll see the video for later, going way over the top being ridiculous. We had Jake being allergic to literally everything that we said or did or saw.
And then we had Hank just being kind of a piece of shit. Yeah.
That's pretty much a perfect way. Oh, and also Max flopped his titty out forever.
Oh, yeah. So all of that happened.
It's titties. Yeah.
Yeah, Janet Maxson. We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later. But, yeah, it's been a great week.
It's been a great week, a long week. We did some great interviews that have come out in the next couple weeks.
But, yeah, football is back. It's very back.
Very back. And a stat that we'll have to keep our eye on this upcoming season, Jim Schwartz from the Browns said that their defense may not lead the league in points against, but they will lead it in swag.
So we're going to have to keep a running tally on whether or not the Browns are actually leading the league in swag. Well, at the end of the year, don't they do a swag award? They do the swag of the year.
We should actually, that's a new takey. Swag of the year.
Swag of the year is definitely a new takey. Yeah, it's just good to see the NBC crew, Mike Florio looking short as always.

Chris Sims doing whatever he's doing.

Button.

I might go button.

Button up.

Aaron Rodgers looking as happy as I've ever seen him in his entire life.

I'm so happy that he's found a new home.

The pregame rundown of what Aaron Rodgers has been doing since his time in New York was hilarious. I don't know if you heard it, but they were like, he's been going to Broadway shows every week.
Yeah, Knicks games. Take Zach Wilson to Book of Mormon, laughs a little bit too hard.
And Zach's like, I want to kill this fucking guy. Aaron Rodgers, it was Zach Wilson's birthday today.
Oh, cool. Two goats, Tom Brady and Zach Wilson today.
Happy birthday, Tom. Congrats on the football team.
Their careers are are mirror image I said a couple weeks ago I needed to find a Champions League team You say football team? Soccer So what team is it Hank? Something with a B Birmingham City Birmingham But I was going to say We did a meet and greet last night. Shout out to all the A.W.
as it came out. I would say like 75% to 80% of them kept saying how not short you were in real life.
So that's got to feel good. I thought you were way shorter.
That's the gaslighting that takes place on this podcast. Everyone thinks that I'm 4'0".
By the way, did you see the Madison Mallards who, Dougs and Frank, I think, were out there throwing first pitches because they're doing their annual summer throw first

pitch at every game. They have

a free ticket

for any guy under 5'5

and any girl over 6 feet. I love that.

It's a great promo. Yeah, we need

representation matters for the short kings out there.

There was a twist

amongst the part of my take guys

this week at the meet and greet.

I don't know if Big Cat and Hank, you guys want to talk about it? Would Big Cat hit me in the nuts? Yeah, we've been an anti-hot shot podcast for a long time. My hand slipped.
My hand slipped. But I'm afraid that that is a slippery slope now.
Hank said he's not going to do it. I'm not going to do it to you.
You and I have long-standing troops. Big Cat's been terrorizing me for three days straight, and if I committed one of these offenses that he did to me, he would me like put in the gulag and have my fucking neck you did you did commit the offense by following me around all week doing my job personal tiktok i'm a content creator yeah your personal tiktok spoiling grit week go watch hank's uh grit week recaps i bought you another coffee after i hit it out of your hand that was a very funny way to start can't buy me another nut though i might have to do a preemptive strike on the nut taps because you just don't know.
Well, you're not on the show anymore. You're not on the show anymore.
I know, but I'm still here. I might have to go out with a bang.
Oh. You're going to nut tap us all the way out.
That would be sick if Billy just came in like a mass nut tapper and just hit everybody in their sack on the way out. Hey, can't get me back there.
All right, what else we got going on in the sports world? I saw Ty Dunn has released, he released another article about the Jaguars. I like that we're like, what, two years now? Post Urban Meyer, and we still get Urban Meyer.
Yeah, and I'll click every time. Every single time.
He does a great job, by the way, Ty Dunn. I saw Sports Illustrated ripped him off, which was not right, because he's an independent journalist.
I actually got to find find his website and give it a plug but the Urban Meyer story is basically one of the players on the team saying on the defense being like we got to pick it up because we have a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence and Urban Meyer Urban Meyer caught wind of it and called him and was like I'm gonna cut you why'd you call me a rookie head coach and the player basically had apologize and pretend none of that happened. You could write anything about Urban Meyer's tenure on the Jaguars, and I would believe it.
Yeah. It's so awesome.
But these stories are going to keep coming out. It's the best.
And I'm so glad. I love the postmortems on just a disastrous hire of a head coach.
Yes. Urban Meyer, that doesn't surprise me about Urban Meyer, for him to call up a player and be like, you need to apologize for saying somethingually something factually accurate about me you piece of shit i hope we just never run out like every year it should just be it's basically a time capsule we should just open it up every year and be like what's the new urban meyer anecdote from his less than one year in jacksonville yeah what was the other one that came out oh he was kicking his kicker yeah he kicked his kick kick josh lambo around kicked his kicker uh by the way it's it's the website's golongtd.com so uh he is support independent journalists we also had an up s i we had we had an update in the uh in the jim ursay files oh yeah of mr ursay so uh there's a whale uh an orca excuse me there's an orca that's been in captivity what's her name uh her Her name is...
Lolita. Express.
Lolita. AKA, also known as Tokitia.
Tokitai. Tokitai.
Tokitai. I call it by the Inuit Tokitai.
Okay. Tokitai has been trapped in like a Miami...
I don't know if it's like a SeaWorld type environment. Some sort of like aquatic zoo.
And Jim Ursa is putting up $20 million to float this orca, excuse me, fly this orca across the country

and release it back into the Puget Sound

where its pod lives to this day.

There's no way they're flying.

They're flying in a cargo plane.

Yeah, dude.

They're actually taking...

I thought you were a whale guy.

It's an orca.

Yeah, I don't like orcas as much.

They hunt whales. Well, they're not not whales technically So it's kind of valid Yeah How the fuck How did you see Free Willy So there was an artist rendition How do you put Water in the cargo plane There was an artist rendition I want you to look at this Because it's a very funny picture They just fill up the cargo plane? Yeah.
There was an artist's rendition. I want you to look at this because it's a very funny picture.
This is Gaslight City. They just fill up the cargo plane and it leaks out a little because it's not very watertight.
What if it moves? What do you mean? They're also flying her friend. They sedate it? They're flying her friend? Two first class tickets? There's the artist's rendition of it.
It's just a plane strapped to an orca. They're not...
No, they're actually flying it. She's not going...
Aren't all the oceans connected? Yeah, just send it through the Panama Canal. Why don't they just throw it out there? Why don't they just throw some rope around it and tow it? Just let it figure it out.
It's a long tow. They're actually sending her back to captivity because it's a 15-acre netted area in that sound.
But that's better than whatever it is right now. I just love Jim Irsay being like, I'm getting so much shit this week.
My name's being dragged through the mud about the Jonathan Taylor situation. I need some positive press.
Oh, I know what I'll do. I'll spend $20 to fly a whale across the country.
Yes, yes. I mean, obviously, it's his money.
He can do whatever the fuck he wants, and there's a salary cap, but it is funny. Now, that orca could get, that orca probably could get, like, a goal line yard better than Jonathan Taylor.
Probably, yeah. And by the way, Memes, I need you to make a Photoshop of a banner hanging from the roof of Lucas Oil saying, flew a whale across the United States.
Hank still doesn't believe that this whale is getting flown. Technically not a whale.
Technically not a whale. Okay.
An orca. A killer orca.
There's no way. Well, just like a really big dolphin.
Sounds like you're a dollar. Are you saying because the airlines are bad right now? The water? Oh.
The air is not water. But how, like, so there's no water in the cargo plane? So Jim Irsay is buying a giant tank, putting it on a plane, filling it up with water, then dropping the orca into the water, and then flying it to Seattle.
No. There's a chance he might die.
A couple of Biscoff cookies, he's good. Zero, zero percent.
A Stroopwafel? Yeah. Bloody Mary? Yeah.
Better not spill any popcorn. What? Are you okay? I can't.
I know you guys are just fucking with me, but. No, we're not.
We're not. I'm just telling you the truth.
No, it's true. Okay, sure.
Okay. All right.
All right. That's fine.
All right. Before we talk a little more stuff, and then I didn't intro, by the way, we're going to do the Mount Rushmore of things you should only do once.
What? Things that are fun. Fun ones.
Only fun ones. Sorry.
Thank you, Hank. Ever had one of those days when it's just too cold to keep working? Nah, neither has Ariat.

And weather whatever in Ariat Work Gear. What were you guys shaking your head? Don't shake your fucking head.
I was showing Hank the article about how they're planning on transporting this Orca.

Yeah.

And they're putting it into a cargo truck and then driving that truck to the airport,

putting it on a cargo plane, flying it across the country, putting it onto yet another truck,

then driving it.

I mean, Hank, it costs $20 million.

If this happens, I will do one of those websites where you buy a whale.

I will become a whale. You're going to buy a whale?

Yeah.

If Lizzo can get to Amsterdam and back. Oh, Billy the clip on his last show.
Nice, Billy. I would feed an orca banana out of my ass.
Yeah, definitely. Other things we had.
Oh, Nate Diaz and Jake Paul. You just got cut for the Mets? Yeah, they'll hurt.
How's the rehab going? They're fighting this weekend. I'm going to buy it.
Yeah, I mean, you kind of have to because it's going to be a shit show. Exactly.
The fight, was that the weigh-in or just the face-off? I think it was just a face-off. It was a face-off.
It was something. It was an actual fight.
There were punches thrown, which is good to see. I always bet on the boxer, if it's a boxer versus an MMA guy in a boxing match.
But is Jake Paul really a boxer? He's not like a professional, professional boxer. So I don't know.
Nate Diaz, it's hard to bet against him. It is hard to bet against him.
I'm trying to find the guy. I was laughing because some guy said there's going to be a whole army of California that's going to come and back up Nate Diaz.
You're not ready for this war. And he's like, I unfortunately can only do this behind my keyboard, be ready so shout out that guy okay yeah he just let it be known fun fact logan paul was supposed to get this fight with nate and jake cucked him for it so there was an interview with hawani that uh logan did where he was like yeah i was about to get this fight the guy backed out i don't know what other fight he could have gotten that wasn't this fight.
We'd made, like, we sweetened the pot. Turns out it was his brother, Jake.
Jake cut his brother out of this fight. Jake and Logan should fight.
Yeah, they should. Hopefully this drummed something up because that would actually be great to see.
Remember when you made IWantToFightJakePaul.com? Yeah. That was a great moment.
I mean, he's been training for all these years. I've been podcasting.
Maybe now's your time to shine. There was a great moment last night when Billy was saying he could jump over a dinner table.

No, we didn't talk about this.

Where he referred to himself two years ago as being a freak of nature.

And two years ago, he could have done it.

Two years ago, you were doing this podcast.

No, well, I got my time mixed up.

My junior year of college, I was a freak.

I was squatting 450.

I was squatting 450.

A true freak of nature. I broad jumped 12.
No. I broad jumped 11 something.
Okay. And I was in the best shape of my life.
We've gone a ways from there, but I can still fucking jump. Okay.
All right. Breaking moves, by the way.
Maybe not breaking moves. I feel like it's just been trickling out for the last two days.
But it looks like Arizona is officially going to go to the Big 12. Okay.
Not surprising. Not surprising.
And Washington, they called a meeting of their board of regents or whatever. Yes.
It sounds like they're going to go. Well, no.
Yeah. Washington and Oregon are being looked at by the Big 10.
The Big 10 doesn't have to do anything right now. They also made it very clear they're not going to be predatory in any of this.
No, of course not. Yeah, so we're just going to do what's best for the Big Ten.
But yeah, it looks like Arizona's going to go to the Big 12. And then I don't know what's going to happen for the rest of the Pac-12.
It's just, like we said, it's going to end up being two leagues pretty soon. Yeah.
Probably going to be maybe a Big Ten. How many teams are in the Big Ten now? Well, it should be the Big Ten West and the Big Ten East,

and then the title game should be at the Rose Bowl.

What, 16 teams?

On January 1st.

In the Big Ten?

There's 14, going to be 16.

Uh-huh.

So how many teams is too many teams?

All of them.

Put all of them in.

Well, I think you've got to get to 20,

because then you could have two Big Tens.

Mm-hmm.

Right?

That makes sense.

Yeah, the legends and leaders.

Do you know who actually coming out looking pretty good in all of this conference realignment?

I never thought I'd say this.

Notre Dame.

Yep.

Notre Dame.

Yeah, they said that they're committed.

They stay with their tradition.

They're committed to being independent.

Why would you?

You don't need to join a conference.

They make all the money.

Yeah.

Just beat up on whatever cupcake schools you want to schedule.

Yeah.

They make all the money and they don't have to worry about it.

Last thing I had before we get to Jared Goff.

Do Jake and Billy want to talk about the Yankees and what's going on with their season? Domingo Hermann? Your favorite pitcher? No, I said on the show he's my least favorite. And look at that.
I'm right again. So Aroldo's champion is not your least favorite.
Oh, God. What happened, Jake? What happened? I didn't look into the details, but he did another bad thing off the field.
He's going to rehab. Is he still on the team? He's not for the rest of this year.
Yeah. But the bigger news was Anthony Rizzo is going on the IL for a concussion that he suffered.
Can anyone guess when he suffered it? In May, against the Padres. Yes.
In May 28th, he suffered a concussion. That sounds like a retroactive, we don't want to get sued move.
Yeah, so here are his stats. In the 53 games before this concussion, he had 11 home runs, was batting .304.
In the 46 games since this concussion, so 46 games he played since the concussion, he had one home run and was batting .172. It's just interesting of the timing where it's after they're pretty much done for the season yeah like no hope of winning anything so they're like okay yeah now we'll treat your head injury it's pretty pretty much bullshit they did my guy rizzo wrong uh i'm taking away cashman's pinstripes and putting them on her mom in jail around around rizzo's head yes ew what ew you can't read what was that people in jail wear Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, Hank.
Or Jake. No What? Ew.
People in jail wear pinstripes.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, Hank.

No, you don't wear a Yankee pinstripe.

They wear orange.

They're horizontal pinstripes.

You ever seen the Hamburglar?

Yeah, that's what I said, yeah.

No, but concussions like that are kind of no joke.

Rizzo trying to play through it.

Hats off to him.

Oh, Billy, you've changed.

You have changed.

You used to be a freak of nature, and now I listen to you.

Yeah, well, I got hit in the head too many times.

You?

No, I mean... threw it hats off to him oh bill you've changed you have changed you used to be a freak in nature and now listen to you yeah well i got hit in the head too many times you no i mean you're right you're right like a concussion that you suffer at any level of sport is like a pretty it should be a big deal no this is very bad it's weird that they've held on to this for so long yes but the thing is with something like that he definitely would never have checked himself out.
That's just warrior mentality. But that's why you need a medical staff.

Right.

That's why I'm blaming the Yankees, not Rizzo.

I blame the situation because Rizzo is definitely, I can still do it.

I can still do it.

But Mike, the situation.

He needed this.

This is a drunk podcast.

You have to think that if the bases were a little bit bigger.

Who's on first podcast. They would have been able to dive into the base safely, not hit the first baseman.
True. Something to think about.
That's a fact. Football's different than baseball, though.
Like, a Conks guy can still play football, hitting a fastball like that. Yeah, they don't play football with baseballs.
Right. That's one difference.
Anyone else? Bats? No bat? Oh, no. Remember, it was Josh Norman had a bat? Yeah, before the game.

He went up to Steve Smith, right?

Yeah.

Also, baseball players don't have-

No, Odell.

Yeah, yeah.

It was Odell.

The concussion conditioning, whereas if they get hit once, they don't know how to deal

with it, whereas football players, they know what it's like just being calm.

When you get enough concussions, then it's actually better for you to get another concussion.

Then it's your baseline.

That's what you're saying.

Yeah.

Okay.

That makes sense.

Anything else in the sports world before we get to Jared Goff?

Thank you. It's actually better for you to get another.
Then it's your baseline. That's what you're saying.
Yeah. Okay.
That makes sense. Anything else in the sports world before we get to Jared Goff? Just a great interview.
Great to have him back. I'm going to miss Billy.
I'm going to miss Billy. We'll get to that.
We'll do that at the end. We're going to do a farewell to Billy.
We've got a big hurt or injured that we will recap all of Grit Week after we do the Mount Rushmore. Oh, touchdown for the Browns.
We need, what, four more points? Four more points. Let's go.
The Jets losing now? He's rooting for the Jets, though, in the Hall of Fame game. They're losing, aren't they? In the over.
No, they're not. They're down three.
The Browns are now down three, two. Okay, let's get to our interview with Jared Goff.

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.
It's a simple question. What does grit mean to you? Yeah, that's a good question.
I saw Dan's answer. I thought it was great.
I think it's along those lines. Yeah, it's the perseverance.
It's getting through adversity. It's being able to come out the other side of something maybe better or just making it through a hard time.
Yeah. As a soft Cali boy, have you been able to find some grit up here in Detroit? Have you gotten grittier since you've gotten? I've gotten way grittier since I got to the Midwest out here in Detroit.
Yeah. There's a little, a little hotter, a little more humid.
You got to grind a little bit more and yeah, it's been fun. Yeah.
So we mentioned this to you off air, but there is an account on Twitter that replies to PFT and I every single day. It's called Detroit Lions bot.
Shout out that guy with a tracker of days since you've last been on the show for a full interview. I think we're at like over a thousand days.
He's very upset, but here we are. So it's over.
Shout out Detroit Lions bot. Put it back to zero.
Yeah. What does he go? I don't know what his life looks like after this.
He has no purpose. He's like the dog that caught the car.
I'll tell you what, if he goes back to day one like on saturday i'm gonna be pissed i'm gonna respect that i'm gonna respect that it's dedication that would be good anybody can keep track of a stat if it's been a long time but not everybody has the grit to take it and do it one day there you go it's been one day since i've gotten to yeah there you go so so it has been a long time last time we were at your house in la that's. That's right.
Game of Thrones finale. Yeah, that's right.
A lot has changed. So let's just start with the change.
I know that, like, I'll say this. You handled the trade and everything like a true professional.
I feel like we never heard. You know, you could have been upset.
You could have been mad. But it felt like you were able to stay above the fray.
Like, when when you had that happen to you you get traded to Detroit from a team that's competing for Super Bowls to a team that's rebuilding now has been rebuilt uh what was going through your head yeah it was certainly hard and I think um I've had some time to reflect on it now being a little bit further away from it um it was it was harder maybe than I thought it was in the moment you know you're just kind of naive to it and you're just you just putting your head down every day and going to work. But looking back, there were some dark times in that 2021 year, both personally and on the field, just getting through that.
And glad to say that you're kind of coming out the other side now and have some things to look forward to. Did Blake Griffin reach out to you with some words of advice, how to handle that transition from L.A.? Blake did.
I think you put me on text with Blake. And I think he was actually trying to work his way out of Detroit when I was coming in here.
So he was like, you're going to love it, but I'm kind of leaving soon. But yeah, no, he was a good resource.
And yeah, it was funny. So the mental side of it, because I think that we don't really, we always know players go through it, but we never really like dive into it.
Like, was there a moment where you had, like, oh shit, like, is this going to work out for me? Am I going to be still like, you know, a starting quarterback? I never lost confidence in myself. No, I think I always remained true to myself and knew who I was and what I can do.
And having a crew here like Dan and Brad and now Ben Johnson and these coaches and players that believed in me only made it that much easier to do it for myself. But, no, certainly you can get in some tough times, but I never lost confidence in what I can do.
You love Ben Johnson, right? Love Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson, great offensive coordinator.
He could have probably left last year. Yeah.
He got some interviews to be a head coach. Yeah.
So he's back. I saw something the other day that you texted with him this offseason.
You just said four words to him in one text. St.
Brown, huge year. Yeah.
Is that a fact? Yeah, yeah. I don't know if it was the exact same words, but it was something along those lines that was very succinct.
I'd just gotten finished. I just got done throwing with St.
Brown out in L.A. and seeing his progression this offseason.
I'm like, that kid's going to have a big year. What is it about his offense that you that you love? A lot of things.
I think he he allows, you know, for me personally to kind of be creative. And I get a lot of decision making capabilities, line of scrimmage.
He puts a lot of my hands, a lot a lot on my plate and allows me to play quarterback and really, you know, direct our offense. So you were like, it's fourth down.
I want to throw the ball to Panay Sewell? That was his call. That was a great call.
I'll take credit for the throw, but that was a little nugget he thought about on Monday of that week. I remember we were talking about it, how he was just like, I want to get Panay the ball somehow.
How can we get Panay the ball? And we had a little package of three plays there, and as soon as we ran the personnel on the field for probably the first down play or the second down play, I'm like, okay, this is going to end with that play to Panay. It was a little setup there, and it was a good one.
So how pumped was Panay in the huddle? Was he like – because you can't – imagine like he's such a big guy. If the defense is watching, they're like, look at him jumping up and down and so excited he might be getting the ball.
Is he just like, this is my moment? Yeah, and it was Minnesota, so they kept calling timeout kind of in between each play because they were trying to stop the clock and get the ball back. And we knew the whole time we're just going to go front and forth with this play.
It was either third or fourth, I can't remember. And in between every timeout, really the one before we threw it to Panay, Ben's telling me, hey, tell Panay, calm down, make sure, just tell him to secure the catch and get the first down, don't go out of bounds.
So I'm giving him all this information, hey, just catch the ball. And then our left guard, Jonah Jackson, looks at me, he goes, yo, chill out, he's good.
And I'm like, all right, all right, Panay, you got it. Yeah, I got to imagine it's fun playing in an offense like that, where you know, okay, we're going to break everything out, we're going to go for the kill, We're going to win.
We're playing to win the game. We're not playing to, like, give you the ball back and stop on defense.
Right. He's very aggressive.
Obviously, Dan's very aggressive. We kind of take on that personality as an offense.
And being able to do creative things that are actually sound and, like, good football is a lot of fun. Thank you for ending Aaron Rodgers Packers' career.
I appreciate that. I counted that as a playoff win for you guys.

Me too.

Thank you.

I don't know if it counts officially.

Yeah, a little Cal on Cal crime.

Did you talk to him after?

You're like, ha-ha, this one's for Big Cat?

I must have forgotten to say that.

Yeah, briefly, just see you later.

Good game, and that was it.

Yeah, but that was nice.

That was a fun one.

That was a good one to finish on.

It was a lot of emotions kind of pregame of like, are we going to have a chance to make the playoffs? Are we not? And then I think when we found out we weren't, we knew we would get turned on by either one, right? If we have a chance, okay, that's going to light a fire. If we don't, then okay, we're going to keep them out.
So it was a good little fire under us to keep them out and that was a fun finish. Yeah.
I also want to say congratulations. I feel like beating the bridge quarterback tag is like that's a big – because when you got drafted, yeah, everyone was like, oh, bridge quarterback.
And then you played – you've been playing so well that it's like, no, wait, Jared is the guy right now. Like what are we talking about? Sure, yeah, I appreciate it.
Yeah, because it's got to be a weird feeling to be put in a situation have obviously the lions into internally is a different story but the media is saying like oh he's just a bridge quarterback and then your play has like there's nothing better when athletes are able to prove it on the field like no i'm i'm playing my balls off you sure sure i think uh there's a lot of members of our media um that have a have an easy things. And they have for quite some time.
And when we were 1-6, they were laying it on pretty thick. And then we kind of flipped the script and it was almost like they ran out of things to write.
Because they weren't used to putting positive news out there, I guess. I don't know how else to frame it.
Yeah, maybe took a little gas out of their tank, and it's been fun. For the record, I saw a tier list of quarterbacks that came out last week, and under the guy, the top tier, it was like Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Jared Goff was right at the top of that list.
I saw that list as well. Did you see that list? I didn't.
It was a great list. Who made it? It was a really big podcast.
I think we made it. It's a good list.
As an impartial observer of my own list. Total bias aside.
I'd like one, but I'll take four from you guys. I appreciate it.
Well, we want you to be hungry. We can't just give you everything.
Do you have any immature D's nuts jokes to use on us? I don't, but I thought Josh's was incredible. I thought it was disgusting.
There are kids in Buffalo. Listen, Jared, there are kids in Buffalo.
They look up to him. He's a god, right? It's like Josh Allen is Buffalo.
There are kids that listen to that podcast. And they probably went to school and they told their teacher, oh, 40's nuts in the back of your throat.
And then they probably got suspended. They're probably not going to graduate.
They're probably going to end up destitute on the streets. It's disgusting.
He ruined the future of Buffalo. I thought the setup was so good.
Yeah. Hook, line, and sinker.
Pardon my take for a lot of young, impressionable youth out there. We are their heroes, and they just saw their heroes, like, you know, like I said, get stuffed by the rim on a dunk.
That's right. And it's like, wait, my legs don't work anymore.
Are we getting old? That was a tough moment. I don't have one for you.
I thought about, like, coming, and I'm like, I'm going to let him have that win. I don't want to try to overdo that.
It hurt. It hurt very deeply.
Are you still in touch with Blake? Oh, yeah. How are you guys doing? I talked to him recently.
I talked to him when he won Blake of the Year. Yeah.
I texted him, just said, hey, congrats. And just see Blake of the Year in parentheses, making sure he knew why I was saying congrats.
Yeah, he's doing good. He's doing good, living a great life.
The all-time story of after the Super Bowl where you and Blake were in the kitchen trying to figure out how to make pizza rolls in the oven. Oh, boy.
And we walked into the kitchen. Houston.
Houston Super Bowl, yeah. We walked into the kitchen.
It was probably like 3 a.m. And Jared and Blake are trying to figure out how to make pizza rolls in the oven.
There's just all the smoke in the world coming out of the oven. They're like, Jared and Blake are going to burn down our house on Super Bowl week.
That was such a fun, like, crazy collusion night, like, of just things. I remember Loud Sean is, like, the legend I remember from that night of him running around in his underwear, like, challenging my buddy who played Division I basketball.
He's like, play me one-on-one in his underwear at, two in the morning. Blake's doing the pizza rolls.
I remember Glennie was asleep somehow. Yeah, we were watching him sleep.
Yeah, we were watching him sleep. He was asleep through it all.
Yeah, people are jumping in and out of the pool. I think Hank jumped in the pool.
It was like, oh, was that a weird dream? Yeah. You just go home, go to bed, and it never happened.
And then the next morning, you call me, you're like, we have a flight and we can't find blake where is he right and i was like dude what do you mean where is he you're you you're the one with him like that's right i i probably left a little earlier than he did and uh we were we were we were unable to leave without him because he was a part of our crew yes i just remember getting that call and just being like jared you're a uh number one pick starting quarterback in the NFL. Like, you find your friend.

I don't know where he went.

Yeah. He's an all-timer and a guy I miss, certainly.
Yeah. Yeah.
Microchip your Blakes. You say what? You have to microchip your Blakes.
Yeah. Right.
He's a tough guy to get a hold of sometimes. Oh, he is.
Yeah. He's out there.
He's either golfing or hanging with his kids, I'm sure. But, you know, I love that dude.
He's like found the, I think Blake has found like the secrets to happiness.

Cause he just seems like, like know, I love that dude. He's, like, found the – I think Blake has found, like,

the secrets to happiness because he just seems like he'll call you back

whenever he feels like it kind of thing.

And it's not offensive either.

No, no, he's just busy.

It's just who he is.

Yeah, he's just doing something.

Or he's not and he doesn't feel like it.

Yeah, exactly.

He could just be – I could imagine sometimes I call him

and he's just, like, staring out at his, like, lawn.

He's like, yeah, I'll call him back later.

Yeah, that's right.

He's having a great time.

Having a moment right now. He's the best.
He's the best. Will you ever apologize for the Saints game? To who? The Saints fans.
No. God, no.
Okay. They got the ball in overtime.
They had a chance to win it. There we go.
I like that. Was that pass interference? No.
No, it wasn't. That's going to piss so many people off.
Was it called pass interference? It was not. It was not called pass interference.

I've had a million pass interferences that weren't called.

Who says he makes the field goal, too?

I know he was automatic from there.

Lutz was, but I don't know.

Yeah, they asked Jordan, did you push off against the Jazz?

Game six.

Did they call it?

Did they call it?

No.

I thought Roby's response was fantastic after the game.

When they asked him, he was like, yeah, it was.

He's like, Rob, don't say that, Rob.

Was there ever a moment during that two-week stretch

Thank you. I thought Roby's response was fantastic after the game, when they asked him, and he was like, yeah, it was.
It's like, Rob, don't say that, Rob. Was there ever a moment during that two-week stretch? Because I remember Saints fans were trying to petition.
They were trying to take to the Supreme Court. Were you like, are they going to actually figure out a way to play this game again? Yeah, they wanted to restart it from that play.
No, that happened, and then they ended up throwing the ball again. They could have ran it and ran off more clock.
They threw an incompletion. And then we got lucky.
They turned it over to us in overtime, and we made a field goal from 60 yards. It wasn't like it was perfect for us either.
Yeah. I guess I wouldn't apologize, but also there's a lot of people that are going to be very mad hearing you say that.
That's okay. They can be mad.
They can be mad. They can be mad.
They can be mad. They can be bringing it up.
Yeah. Just try to memory it.
Every once in a while, Dan was on that staff. Oh, yeah.
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I played in and I don't know, maybe ever will play in. Just in that place, it was like reverbing off the roof, the amount of noise.
And I remember that first third down and my helmet was all messed up. So we had to grit through that one, certainly, and get to the other side.
Do you love Dan Campbell? Love him. We love him.
I love him too. So was it love at first sight or did he have to grow on you a little bit? No, I've always loved him.
I think seeing him grow as a head coach has been so fun and coming to his own. I know, you know, for me too, I think him seeing me grow into my own as a quarterback, it's been fun to kind of grow together and go through the trials and tribulations together and have a chance to, you know, have a pretty good team this year and do some things.
So he said that he wanted a live line on the sideline. Very true story.
Very real thing that he actually wants for the record. I appreciate everybody writing articles about it.
How would you react to having a lion on the sideline? I'd love it. As long as it's in a cage, right? I don't know if it would be loose.
That's soft. No, you got to have it loose.
Just running around? Yeah, yeah. Maybe one of, you know, like when someone has a big yard and they have the almost zip line and they have their dog on the zip line? You could do that through the whole field.
Oh, or have the lion run out and retrieve the kick on kickoffs instead of like the dog. I kind of like how Colorado runs out with the buffalo.
Someone runs out with a lion. That would be very intimidating.
Like a couple people holding it on a leash. What about Dan Campbell riding the lion? Oh, that would be really good.
These are all real things Dan Campbell is considering. That sounds like a Metallica song.
Yeah. Dan Campbell, actually, fun fact about him, he does practice, and then the rest of the day, the next 10 hours, he just thinks about live lions.
That's what the media would have you believe. I saw that, yeah.
Do you think that he does, is he good at doing that sort of thing? Like, okay, I'm going to play into the image of Dan Campbell that a lot of people, I'll throw them some meat so they got something to write about so they're not writing negative things about about the team or yeah that struggled I think he just does it for sport at this point like he thinks it's funny the Panay's play that we talked about earlier where he you know joked with the media afterwards that his headset was off he didn't know what was happening and then all of a sudden we're throwing it to Panay and yeah people took that as you know he was telling the truth yeah that he was not That he was not aware that we were running that play. That's like some truth.
And they're like, you know, Dan Campbell doesn't even know what player they're right. It's like, all right.
Like, you know, I think it's funny. And I've told people a million times, he looks like a meathead.
He's a big, strong dude. He talks like he does.
But he's as smart as anyone I've been around. That's some art of war shit.
It's like, make your opponent believe that you're unprepared. Right.
Right. He kind of likes it yeah continue to underestimate yeah right um should we talk a little bit about your uh college team in the big 12 trying to rip apart the uh pack 12 sure cal's in trouble what's gonna happen i don't think cal's going anywhere yeah well i think we are at pack 12 steadfast should be cal and stanford that's right just cal and stanford cal stanford maybe Stanford, maybe Oregon State.
You know, Arizona, Arizona State sound like they're going to stay. No, it doesn't.
They're not? No, I don't think so. Okay, so Cal, Stanford, Oregon State.
Okay, and maybe Washington State too. Sure, and Washington State, we just run, you know, we play each other three times a year.
Round Robin. Exactly.
But your coach, who we actually had on a couple times this year, Sonny Dykes from college,

were you at all surprised that he had that success going to TCU?

Because there were moments, especially his Cal time,

where it felt like he was teetering and like,

can he get the job done?

Yeah, no, I was so excited for him.

I think the TCU job was a perfect landing spot for him,

and I know he was excited for it.

The team they had last year was gritty and was able to win some close games.

I mean, were they the most talented team?

Probably not, but they did some things

that were pretty special in the fourth quarter of those games.

I'm sure it covered some spreads for you guys

and maybe hit some overs for you guys, right?

Yeah, big time.

That field goal was wild.

The one where he just ran the guys out there.

Was it Baylor?

Yeah, eight seconds left.

It was late in the year, yeah.

But I was so fired up for him,

And I'll seeuggan. I told Duggan.
The game, I think it was the Big 12 game, I think they lost Kansas State. Yeah, the Big 12 championship.
The most impressive quarterback, like college, how tired he was. And they're like, go for two, and he can barely even get back in the huddle yeah just going i loved it they were just running him like over and over yes you could tell it's very hard like a lot of the times someone will be gaspy can't really tell he he looked so fatigued and it was because he just kept on having heat stroke yeah you know running it again and it was and then they'd stop the ball and be like 15 yards rip it off yeah yeah you remember that video that you did where you went back to college and you got dressed up that was good huh yeah and well it was very clearly just jared goff participating in a practice right where it was anybody on the team like hey you're just jared why it was jared golf practicing i think we did a good job of the disguise the what what they did before that is they had cameras there telling them they were on like last chance you for like a week so then by the time I got there like it like didn't seem like there was just cameras there uh-huh um and and I think what actually if you remember there was one receiver who spoke up and said that's my you know that's our quarterback like we don't want a new quarterback yeah that was Tavon Austin's cousin so he knew he was in on it okay so he was kind of like playing into it a little bit.
And I had him to kind of help me maneuver around a little bit. But no, I don't think they knew.
It went pretty viral and it's still something people remind me of today. Eli copied it later.
I know he did. I told him that.
I told him. I said the Pro Bowl.
I'm like, you guys just straight. He's like, yeah, we kind of ripped off.
They had a little bit more horsepower behind it with ESPN and eli's places or whatever they call it sorry we'll get joe buck to go after eli for that yeah for sure he hates him uh it would have been funny if you showed up showed up for that practice and just like had an off day right it sucked and and the coach was like uh i guess we got to cut you throwing it throwing it to the other team yeah um what's i'm going to give you an opportunity to gas up Lions fans.

Okay.

I would imagine going from L.A. to Detroit in terms of fandom is a pretty big difference in how people live and breathe and eat football out here.
Yeah. So what's been your experience with Lions fans day to day or just in general? Yeah, it's as loyal, as passionate, as, you know, fervorous, like just foaming at the mouth type of thing that these fans are.
It's so fun to be around. I go to dinner, I go to the supermarket.
It's always, you know, people are always saying they're so excited. Can't wait for the game.
A lot of people are coming to practice telling me, hey, I'm going to be at practice tomorrow. And people are so excited.
we're so excited to put on a show for them this year and uh see what we can do yeah what's your favorite throw ever yeah like that I've ever made or type of ever made we'll do oh gosh favorite throw I've ever made man that's a hard question I'll I'll go with the the ball I threw to St. Brown to win the game against Minnesota.
Wasn't all that great of a throw, but the implications of it were pretty cool. Coming into that game, I think we were 0-8.
It was our first win that year. The Oxford shooting had just happened.
We had some of their families there. Being able to win that game in that fashion was pretty cool.
My favorite type of throw is definitely a post or a go, something you can layer out there a little bit. That's a good answer.
I would have said wheel route. I like wheels.
I like the wheel. You like throwing the wheel or you like running the wheel? Both.
I like watching the wheel. It always works.
When have you seen it work last? It's one juke and then to the house. Right, just an out and up, right?

Right, just an out and up.

They always forget to cover the running back.

Yeah.

I don't know why.

He catches a ball, maybe a spin move, maybe a juke.

It's gone.

And you like throwing it and running it.

Yeah, well, I haven't ever thrown one, but I think I would like to throw it.

Perfect, yeah.

If I was ever a quarterback.

I've thrown a lot of wheel routes.

You've thrown a lot?

Well, with my fingers in a video game.

Right.

Yeah, that counts.

That counts.

That absolutely counts. Four verticals on Madden.
We run a similar. Yeah, exactly.
That absolutely counts. Yeah.
I know the game. There you go.
What's your – Dan Campbell, I mean, we've talked about him a lot, but what's the one thing this year that he's telling the team that's, like, different? Because it's weird going into this season. The Lions are very hyped up.
Yeah. Everyone's wondering, like, can they keep the momentum going? How is he trying to keep everyone on the same page where, like, don't believe this shit? It's very simple, I think, and he's done a great job of it.
It's just it's the same exact people that were telling us how bad we were last year. Right.
And it happened so quickly. Right.
Like, it's not like it took three years for them to change their mind. It's like took like 10 games.
Yeah. And they're like, oh, no, they they're good now it's like okay so you can't really listen to either side of it because they were wrong when they told us we're there we were bad and now we can't believe them now if they're telling us we're good we still have to put the work in and prove them right is kind of the idea but um yeah we've got a lot of work to do we got a lot of work to do to continue to get better uh and i always think in the league you know we play and it's about runs like how do you get on winning streaks and how do you get off of losing streaks? And we were on winning streaks last year.
We had a couple of them. We won three in a row.
And it doesn't mean we're going to start on a winning streak this year. And knowing that, we have to kind of find a way to grasp that momentum again and get on a winning streak.
It's a great point about the media, too, because it really was like a month and a half. It was, yeah.
I mean, I said. It was like six one and six i was like i think dan campbell lost the locker room i told him that because i'm an idiot i said i just react i react to everything so so severely like every loss is like that's the end of the world right and everyone's like damn that team's incredible best ever right yeah no no and and i got spoke about with our media it's it's interesting that you know they they they kind of enjoy – it seems to like they have so many more questions when we're losing.
Right. They know what they're going to write.
They know what the people want to read. They know what the clickbait, negative clickbait is to get people to read it.
And then we start winning, and it's like the questions kind of go away. They don't really know what to ask anymore.
They're not quite used to it, and that's enjoyable for us. That's nice, yeah.
And you don't have hard knocks this year which has got to be nice really nice last year on hard knocks were you like okay i'm experienced at this now don't don't ask me any science questions like where the where the sun comes no more sun i'm still figuring that one out uh it's confusing every day i gotta look up all right that's west got it all right um east oh shoot it East. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But no, that was good. They were easy.
I know the crew pretty well by now. We have first name basis with some of those people, so they were easy.
Yeah. We can give you a chance to kind of redeem yourself.
Have you seen Oppenheimer? No. Okay, I was going to ask you to explain how atomic bombs work.
Yeah, way beyond what I would know. Have you seen Barbie? I have seen Barbie.
What what'd you think i thought it was funny i know there's a lot of uh of uh differing opinions on it i thought it was really funny actually if you go into it knowing it's supposed to be like stupid funny yeah you know if you think it's supposed to be like a you know feature film i don't know if it's that's what's the point of it it was a movie for everybody i thought it was hilarious was it dressed up i did not. I might have been the only dude in there, but I thought it was funny.
Was it an accurate depiction of growing up in California? No. No.
That's why it was funny, though. It was like so over the top, like, you know, stupid funny, but it was good.
Was it an accurate depiction of growing up looking like Ryan Gosling? Some ways. Yeah.
Every time he makes a movie, that seems to like come out again and, um, I'll take it, you know, he's a good looking dude. That's a good one.
There's worse people. I get worse Malone.
You get Ryan Gosling. I'd say you win that round.
Yeah. I mean, I've been talking about looking like a fat raccoon eating garbage under a porch.
That's not a great thing to be compared to. You got the, the, the pepper, uh, salt and pepper.
Yeah, exactly. So that's way yeah right see that's mean but i'm gonna take it i'm gonna internalize it i'm gonna get better but i'm not um all right so uh i have one last question roback question r-h-o-b-a-c-k.com roback.com uh use code take 20 off first purchase q-zips polos hoodies joggers shorts i got the shorts on right now super comfortable rowback.com uh first week one yep patrick mahomes is this the first time you guys have played since that game yeah that game was awesome are you gonna yeah so before the game you're gonna be like remember that game let's do it again yeah that that ruled yeah no that was that was a fun one man that that's that's an all-timer favorite throw it might be that last throw in that game, dude? Yeah, let's do it again.
That rules. Yeah, no, that was a fun one, man.
That's an all-timer. Favorite throw might be that last throw in that game ever, now that I'm thinking about it.
But yeah, that was insane. It was 54-51, and it felt like college again, where you're just shooting out there and figuring it out.
But no, he's got a different defense now that I have to play. That's the diplomatic answer, and he's got to play our defense.
But hopefully it's a shootout that goes our way again. It's going to be so fun to watch.
I can't wait for week one. Me too.
It's kind of crazy that the Lions are opening up the season. Yeah, we're excited.
Why is it crazy? No, I'm not talking about this Lions team. I'm just saying in the history of the Lions.
Yeah. You guys haven't had a had a lot of success.
I only know from the last two years here.

I like that.

I'm getting you a little upset right now.

Short memory.

I like that.

I don't know anything beyond since I've been here.

There you go.

The Lions, they shouldn't be opening up football season.

Come on.

It's the Lions.

There you go.

And I say, what is that supposed to mean?

Yeah.

It's the Lions.

Come on.

You know what that means.

I don't.

All right.

I like it.

There you go.

We'll cut this part, but how fast does Justin Fields? So fast. He's fast.
He's so fast. Yeah, you like him? Oh, he's so fast.
Yeah. You still pulling for them when we play each other? Yeah.
Yeah, okay. Yeah.
I mean, I want you to play well, but lose every time. Every time we play Chicago or just in general? Chicago.
No, yeah, yeah. So 15-2 would be fine with you? Yeah, the Bears go 16-1.
Okay. Who do they lose to? Question.
Commanders, Thursday night. Who do we play? Six to three.
Who else do we play? We'll probably lose to the Chiefs. I'll be honest.
That's me being unbiased. 16-1 lose to the Chiefs.
That's fair. That's very fair.
That's very fair. I have a fair guy fair I hope it doesn't go that well for them but yeah we'll see um all right well Jared uh it has now

been zero days since you've been on part of my take that's right we love you you've been a very

supportive friend all these years so uh thank you so much thank you let's you know I'm not gonna say

go Lions but I'm rooting for you to have a great you can say it no I'm not gonna say that why not

because I'm rooting for you guys to have a great year just below the Bears that's fair so make the

Thank you. I'm not going to say go Lions, but I'm rooting for you to have a great year.
You can say it. No, I'm not going to say that.
Why not? Because I'm rooting for you guys to have a great year just below the Bears.

That's fair.

So make the playoffs?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

Yeah.

Remember, imagine NFC championship game in Chicago, Lions, Bears.

You wanted them to have the home field?

Oh, yeah.

Congrats on being able to play in cold weather.

Oh, I can do that now?

Yes.

Did I say it right?

Yes.

Okay, so the Mount Rushmore, Mount Rushmore, of things that are only fun once.

Did I say it right?

Yes.

Okay.

So the Mount Rushmore standings are very tight.

It's 18, 18, 16.

Is that correct?

Yep.

18, 18. I think it's 17, 17, 16.

Yeah, I think.

Well, we have it, guys.

We can pull it out.

Yeah.

It's 18, 18, 16.

Either way, since this is Billy's last episode, Billy will still be able to consult with Jake on picks. We're also going to let them use memes for their team.
18, 18, 17. 18, 18, 17.
Yeah, memes, you're allowed to help them. You don't have to do the punishment if they lose, but you can help them, okay? That's fair because we don't want to leave Jake, you know, and I think Jake's not going to be here on Sunday so you're going to be picking for their team on Sunday.
Is Kittle going to make an appearance in the... I think he's got a football season? I know, but technically he's part of the loss.
That's true. I think he should at least FaceTime for an hour.
Well, you guys haven't lost yet. So 18, 18, 17.
But just in case, if he wins, we're fine. Could be tighter.
What's the order for the Mount Rushmore of things that are only fun to do once? So Billy and I will go first. Okay.
Hank and Mac second. Big Cotton PFT third.
Okay. Love it.
Billy, would you like to announce our final 1-1? Let's make sure we're on the same page. We're on the same page.
That one? One of one, things fun to do once. We're going with an all-nighter.
Oh, okay. Just staying up all night.
Just to party all night? Definitely done that more than once. Billy, what do you plan on doing tonight? Pulling an all-nighter.
And have you ever done that before? Literally, your plan tonight is to pull an all-nighter. It's things that are fun to do once, right? Yeah, but once.
I'm sure Billy's pulling an all-nighter before. And then never do them again.
They're not fun. Shit.
I think Jake was thinking about studying. Yeah.
That's not fun. I've pulled multiple all-nighters, and every time they've been too much fun.
Yeah. All-nighters aren aren't fun the next day No, right But in the moment, that's why you stay up all night Because you're having so much fun And they're very fun the next time you do them Right, and all-nighters are so much fun That I wish I was still in a state where I could do them Yeah In a sleepover context Yeah, just being like, let's fucking go to a casino.
But you don't. Business ideas.
There's nothing. Movie ideas.
There's nothing. Yeah, just all of that.
Where you can invest all your money quick. If you got all your friends to pull all their money.
Reliving your Little League baseball playoffs from when you were 11 years old. Watching highlights of your football highlights.
Yeah, exactly. Hang out with a friend that you haven't seen in seven years and being like, yo, man, I've missed you so much.
Yeah. Having a meeting in the bathroom stall at 4 a.m.
Yeah, exactly. I pull off an all-nighter once and it was with you guys.
2020 Grit Week. Oh, so cute.
That's only that? Yeah, that's it. What about at sleepaway camp? Oh, is it? Yeah, that's it.
I've gotten at least like- What about a cuse with the boys? Dude, there's every night. There's nothing better than hearing the birds start to chirp, and you're like, oh, man.
No, but that's scary. That's scary.
That's anxiety. That first morning, you're like, I got there.
No, but- Yeah, you're going to bed, but- No, no, but like that one time when you don't know that there's that bird feeling in the morning, once you know there's the birds in the morning, because you don't do it on purpose.'t do it on purpose let me just reiterate Billy has a flight tomorrow morning and his idea is to pull an all-nighter well when I have to go to the airport at 3am right but you're good one-on-one they've tried for picks before we're right in the race don't listen to them them. They're not worth any votes.
Oh, actually, we are, Jake.

Yeah.

Every vote counts.

Easy Trump.

I vote every time.

Three measly votes.

Okay.

Four.

We are going to go with losing your virginity.

Well, it's only possible to do once.

Right.

You can also lose different types of virginities.

You can't do it twice.

That's why it's something that's fun to do once.

Good point, Billy.

Okay.

So.

All right. Okay.
This is off to a bang, guys. Let's go.
PFT, let's talk numbers. Yeah, let's do some numbies here.
I like number 10. That's a pretty good one to start with.
You're already going to- Yeah, okay. Maybe go 10 and two.
Or 10 and 11. Safe driving.
Okay. Okay want one two three beating a video game beating a video game i mean beating it once you you can't go back and beat another video like yes video game it's not as fun it's not as fun it's fun to do once you skip all the side you have that moment.
You're like, man, I used a lot of my time to beat this video game. Running back Mario Kart Wii has been like in my age.
It's not a game you beat. Yes, you can.
You unlock all the races. You get gold crowns in all of them.
Okay, but like beating Mario 64, I remember the moment I did it. And I was like, all right, now what? But then you wait a couple years, and then you're like,

oh, that's my favorite game ever.

When you've beaten it, it's not the same. On this trip, I'm replaying

Flappy Golf 2. It's just as fun.

If you beat GoldenEye, and you go

back, and you know all the secrets and stuff, it does not

have that same allure. The first time you beat GoldenEye,

you think that you are God.

No, Skyrim, you can play a thousand times.

I think it's a good pick. Skyrim is the greatest game of is the greatest you can figure out what we're doing for a second pick yeah we'll do crack crack crack crack fun to do once yeah no i don't think it's fun it's definitely fun to do it one time yeah crack no because the second time you want to do it even more no no the first time you want to do it so bad again do it once it'll be fun And then you never do it again Do it the second time you're like oh I've got a problem I've never done crack but it's probably not possible To just do it one time But it would be great if you don't do it once One time only it'd be very fun I feel like picking a pick that you've never done once Is actually a tough If you crack one time Then it's all you think you done crack? If you crack one time, then it's all you think about for the rest of your life.

You've never done crack.

It must be awesome.

How did you know that it's fun to do once?

Yeah, exactly.

Because it's all you think about for the rest of your life.

How do you know that?

How do you know that?

Have you done crack?

I've not done crack, no.

Yeah, so you guys just...

He barely pulled an all-nighter.

He had to do it for work.

Dude.

But he's done it.

I'd never fall asleep.

In that night?

Yeah, he did it.

You have to watch your virginity.

You can say heroin and be like, oh yeah, I've done stuff after. Okay, this is going to be a contentious one no matter what.
It's a pick that you haven't done once. Okay.
Do crack and then... Do crack right now.
It would be fun ones. You don't know that.
That should be the punishment for fantasy football. Yeah.
I bet we can find some crack. Yeah, you think so? No way.
Our next pick is going to be touring a famous historical monument. Okay.
It's cool. You get to see some stuff.
You're like, oh, this is fun. Name one historical monument.
I've done the Washington monument. Like, did that whole tour.
It was cool. You've never gone up to the monument? No.
That was on the list tank. That was good.
You went up? Up. To the top? The Washington Monument? You did the tour? You went up? I think you're saying that- I went to the memorials.
You walked next to the monument. Interesting.
I went to Lincoln. I saw it up.
I sat up on his lap. Wait, that's not the Washington- Then I went to the whatever the fuck- Don't let you sit on Lincoln's lap.
The big triangular thing? I don't think you've ever toured a historical monument. You're a fraud.
I have. I have.
My sister graduated. My sister went to the whatever the fuck Don't let you sit on Lincoln's lap The big triangular thing I don't think you've ever toured You're a fraud I have My sister went to Catholic in Washington We went to graduation Toured around I think you just walked next to it And looked at it You do not sit in Abe Lincoln's lap No, that was a joke Okay, so our second pick is Going to jail Oh, okay Kind of fun once Yeah once.
Yeah. Okay.
It is kind of fun. It's gone twice.
I've gone twice. It was a firsthand experience.
Oh, you've gone twice. It was actually fun both times.
Wasn't the first time more fun, though? No, the second time was more fun. First time was a little scary.
I didn't really have a job, and I was like, fuck. Yeah.
I'm fucked. Second time was for work.
If you have a job, going to jail is fun. Yeah.
All right. Going on the back end, Billy.
Agreed? Also, I know my parents know that I went to jail twice. We're going to go with getting married.
Okay. Okay.
Definitely more fun the first time. We had that on our list, too.
Yeah. Yeah.
Although, I was thinking about it more. Jake, have you ever been married a second time? I have not, but when I intend to do it, I intend to do it once.
If you're getting married a second time, it probably would be cool because you're like, done with that first one. If you had a prenup.
Yeah, true. No, but in the back of your head, the second time is like, this could go like the first time.
Yeah, but then you're kind of callous to it. First time, you're like, forever.
Right. Together.
Right. Right.
What if your significant other passes away? There's a little gray area there. And you're just so lonely and sad and then you get married a second time.
But then you're thinking the second time they might die again. Okay.
That's sad. Finding the RV.
No, they just went twice Right? Do I need to secure the perimeter? We are going to go with Being in a Pay-per-view boxing fight It's a really fun one, Billy can speak to this Billy wants to do it again Well, he didn't really fight once Well, fight me, Yeah. Well, fight me, Max.
Pushy, fight me. You won't.
No, I won't. You won't.
We would literally, dude, you're an idiot. You're really an idiot.
You're an idiot. Billy really wants me to fight in rough and out.
For 180 seconds, you could get a bag, but you're. You're too stupid.
But you just wear shirts that aren't made well. But yeah, it was an absolute.
You can afford real shirts. It wasn't really a blast.
There was a lot of anxiety, a lot of training. What about the fact that Billy wants to fight again? Well, he didn't...
Max is right. He didn't really fight.
He walked out and Jose Canseco slid on his feet. What's Billy's record? 1-0.
Yeah, so Hank, you said just fighting in one, right? Fighting in a pay-per-view boxing match. But if you lose in a pay-per-view boxing match one time, that would not be fun.

Dude, fighting is better.

We just look at the adrenaline.

The adrenaline is like a feeling you can't really pass.

I don't think you'd feel about it the same way if you lost.

You would not feel good about it.

Yeah, but it's fun.

Okay.

No, I talked to Oscar De La Hoya about this.

Yep.

The rush of fighting is better than anything.

Two fighters that are on the same par.

I was just like, yo, dude, isn't it sick? He's like, yeah, man. Okay.
Okay. Our pick? Yeah, two.
Okay. Okay, Big Cat, I like number five and number 20.
Okay. Those don't seem like we haven't gone through that many picks.
I think we do two and 20. Okay.
You go with two. All right.
Learning to walk. Learning to walk.
Do you remember learning to walk? If you had to learn to walk a second time, it would suck so bad. That means a catastrophic injury happened and you have to learn to walk again.
Learning to walk would be fun once. Learning to walk is definitely fun the first time.
It's fun once. You can get around Do you remember learning to walk?

That doesn't matter. You ever seen a baby learn how to walk?

I've seen my two kids

my third hasn't walked yet but they had a lot of

fun learning to walk. If anyone

has to learn to walk a second time it's a

bad bad scene. Would you guys agree?

I would. I learned to run

before I learned to walk. Okay.

Only like 20 more minutes.

Alright. We got this, guys.

Put the force up.

Fourth quarter.

Fourth quarter.

Fourth quarter.

All right.

For our last pick,

we're going to go invading Iraq.

Very fun the first time.

Just kind of steamroll the country.

Second time.

Not so nice.

Not as much fun.

You kind of just hang out there

for the next 20 years.

Yeah.

Was not as fun the second time.

That's a fact.

That's a good pick.

Thank you.

I don't think Max or Hank.

I don't know.

Whatever.

I don't care.

Yeah.

When was the first time?

Early 90s?

1990, 91.

I'm anti-all war.

Oh, okay.

What about World War II?

Pro-Hitler?

Yeah. I don't really know what whatever okay all right you guys have your pick i don't have another pick max has one and i don't care that it's i'm just gonna let him cook he can he can pick something else if he wants is this the one you've been teasing yes oh you're gonna use it i thought you were gonna say hey picking uh lebron james your goat i think if you guys the win one person will agree with me.
Oh, you're going to use it? I thought you were going to say, hey, picking LeBron James is your go. I think at least one person will agree with me.
Okay, here we go. These are the good picks.
These are the good picks. Oh, man, we're doing it.
Drum roll. Titty fucking.
Dude, what? Stand by. It's simply one more than one.
No, that is something that you're in middle school You getting titty fucked If you want to say Max You getting titty fucked Why would that be fun ever I don't know but you're the one who said it I'm a team player I let Max pick LeBron I let Max pick this I don't stand for either of them I disagree vehement on your choice. It's one of the craziest things I've ever heard.
I think that it's a thing that when you're in middle school, you dream about, and then you do it, and it's like, this isn't that fun. I don't want to do this anymore.
It's awesome. It's way better.
No. No, it's awesome.
Wait, you're saying it wasn't even fun once. No.
No. I'm saying the first time, it's like, oh, yeah, you got the adrenaline out.
You look forward to to it, you do it and you're like, I don't need to do that anymore. That's what you call calm adrenaline? I've literally only done it once because I don't need to do it.
Oh my God. That's usually There might be something wrong with your penis.
I think Max is talking about him getting titty fucked. I'm not.
Enough of you. I'm not going to let this guy titty fuck will.
Max will never get titty fucked again, people. So, Max, I considered tossing 69 into the conversation.
That's the same thing. That's also a terrible thing.
There's a lot going on in 69. It is.
It's a lot. There's a lot.
You can't focus. Yes.
Like, just, you know, I'm pretty. Don't act like this fucking room is a bunch of studs that are going into different positions every single night.

You know?

It's not position. Run the ball.

Run the football.

But that's like me saying, like, oh, it wouldn't be fun to dunk.

Like, if I was physically able to do all these things, it would be a lot of fun.

No.

Yes, it would.

There's going to be people out there that agree with this take.

I know it.

I don't think so. Mom, I'm sorry.
Oh, Jake just gave me a look like, no way. He's a dog.
Yeah, more than once. It's a good time.
No, it's middle school. I want to get out of here.
I want to get out of here so bad. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
I can't stand by it all. Oh, my God.
Okay, last pick for Billy. I was hoping he was going to go with something else.
We were going to talk about an honorable mention. He texted that to me earlier.
I still think it's a great pick. I fell down.
People are going to agree with me. There's going to be people out there that agree with me.
This is groupthink. This is all groupthink.
I think there are going to be a lot of people that stand up for titty fuckers everywhere. You might just get lost in the cleavage, bro.
Yeah, it's... Some people don't.
Is your dick too small? There's too much going on. It's not...
Just run the football. Dude, you can get a BJ and titty fucker at the same time.
Just lay down and put it in and get it out. Okay.
Billy. Number one sports podcast.
We're going with... Imagine the Lions fans have been waiting for Jared Goff's interview and they just kept this on for a little too long.
Like, what the fuck are they talking about? They're fading Iraqis, hot titty fucking? That tank, it had to be done. Okay.
I'm glad that it happened. Yeah, no, I'm very happy.
Anytime someone on Mount Rushmore's season says, all right, I'm just going to go for it. You know it's going to be a great pick, bad or good.
Well, because it's fun if you have a mic. Oh, here we go.
We got the brain council. Can you talk in the mic? Okay, yeah.
Okay. Throwing a house party in high school.
Okay. When parents aren't there.
Okay. It's fun the first time.
You might get away with it. You might not might not but you still had that one time but then you can't really do it again or if you do it again gets out of hand yeah if you do it again then then there's all the pressure of like hey we're doing it again this weekend oh then it's just kind of your house is a flop except for the kid who has divorced parents and it's fun all the time because they just go back yeah but if you their first one's a one's a banger, the bar's going to be so high for the future

ones, it can only go downhill.

Although you probably had a good time and you might

eat. It's a good pick,

but it's like if you have a really good time,

you definitely want to do it again. No, but then

someone punches the drywall the first time

and you're like, oh shit, let's cover this up.

You do it, you do it,

and then the next time everyone's like, oh, we can just destroy

the walls because one guy got away

with it the first time. Everyone just thinks they can get away

with more and more the second time. First time.
How many holes have you punched in drywall? Carry the wine. It's only fun the first time.
Okay. All right.
Honorable mentions. Hank, I had one for you.
We're going to do heroin, but I had one for you. Papa Diaz.

Yeah.

Actually, no, not fun at all.

That was your birthday. That was traumatic.

We had Interviewing John Cena.

Yeah. That was very fun the first time.

Yeah. Oh, we should have done

Driving Across the Country.

We had that on our list.

Sidewalk Slammers.

Hiring Billy. You can only think of that.
Technically, you did it twice. Yeah, I know.
The first time was a lot of fun. You walked into that.
Going to college once is fun. Don't want to go back.
Getting titty fucked by Max. Or titty fucking Max.
Betting the under. I feel like every few months Big Cat you're like yeah I'm gonna enjoy it

If it wins it'll win

Blue Man Group

More than once

No definitely not more than once

Don't even go once

I'm supposed to go

Digging a hole with your boys

There's more than

It's a Blue Men Group

It's a franchise

Digging a hole with your boys

Robbing a bank would be so much fun once

Let's go. than three of them.
It's a blue men group. It's a franchise.
Digging a hole with your boys. Robbing a bank would be so much fun once.
It would be. It'd be a rush.
Cow tipping. It would be.
Come on. It would be fun.
We should make Jake rob a bank. We were talking about doing instead of an escape room, a rob the bank with your boys where there's a fake bank and you just try to try to make a plan and try to rob it with your friends as like a group building activity.
Yeah. Fake guns and just be like give me all the money.
Except the guns are real and you don't tell the person but it's like hey this is the fake bank robbing thing now give me all the cash when you're out. Just make people rob a bank.
That would be a good alibi. Yeah.
If we sat down and put our minds together we could come up with a plan to rob a bank and get away with it. The thing is, I think you get addicted.
Well, no, Jake would definitely call the cops on us. Yeah.
My friends are about to do something very dangerous. Would you call the cops on us, Jake? If I told you right now, me and Piahti are going to rob a bank tomorrow.
Wouldn't believe you. We're going to do it.
No, you're not. Okay.
Is it robbing a bank to just hand them a note that says, give me $50,000?

And then sign it Jake Marsh.

Yeah, my name is Jake.

At PMT Sports Biz.

Follow me on all my socials. I live in the disabled apartment complex.

I have a personal one getting blackout drunk drinking gin.

I did that once.

Never again.

Can't feel your lips.

Yeah. I don't think I've drank gin.
I don't think that was a gin, Billy. Dating a stripper.
Fun once. Billy, food challenges.
You would never do one of your food challenges again. They were not fun.
No, I would do them just like not having dudes fart right next to me the whole time. farted you fart yeah that was like that was video coming out soon video was coming out soon cow tipping is fun the first time because you don't understand how hard it is to tip a cow okay then you figure out and you're like oh shit like this isn't casual yeah yeah i've never actually done i didn't know people actually did that yeah well when you go i was just in movies When you go to school in the middle of nowhere and there's just cows.
Yeah. Yeah.
I've never actually done. I didn't know people actually did that.
Yeah. Well, when you go.

I was just in movies. When you go to school in the middle of nowhere and they're just cows.

Yep.

Having your team have the number one pick.

It is fun once.

I do it multiple times.

Yeah.

What's that like?

Process was great.

No, I disagree.

It was fun.

Yeah.

How did it end up?

We'll see.

The rest is still unwritten.

Riding a roller coaster. No.
After one, I get nauseous. No.
No, Jake. No.
That's fun. In my prime, I was good with it.
It was my birth to the team. Your freaking nature.
Yeah. I could go on the Hulk five times in a row, but you go back a few years later, and it's like, after once, I get nauseous.
I like roller coasters. Skydiving.
Yeah, that was on our list yeah that was on it one billy had getting in a fight okay it's not a terrible pick one time it's like oh like get in one he got in one fight like he you know he he got him yeah and then it's like oh like two fights that's that's not okay yeah three fights then it's like is this guy got a problem yeah I also had Saying to Billy I'll trust you this time Jake like that It is fun once Going rogue on Mount Rushmore Yes It was fun the first time For you guys Every time The first time It's like yeah I can't wait to see you Something I'll miss very much I'd say crowd surfing Crowd surfing is fun The first time you do it And then then if you do it anymore, it's just like... Then you get molested.
Yeah, then you're just a crowd surfing guy. Yeah.
Just like, hey, I just want everybody to support me. What about reading a book? Not like reading the same book twice, but like everyone should just read one book.
Mm-hmm. And then you're like, I love it.
Reading one book the first time is pretty awesome. Yeah, but then just be no more reading.
Ever. Titty fucker.
Yeah, I think tomorrow could be a bad day for me. There's going to be a girl out there that's like, Wait, was I that bad? What? I said, it's the worst pick I've ever seen.
He said, it might be a 1-1 pick. Fucking a book.
Yeah, it was Plastic bag What?

Athleticism

The plastic bag lotion

Thank you. That doesn't mean I could dream about being in great shape.
I feel like I'm insane. Did nobody else hear Billy say fucking a book? Yeah, he said fucking a book.

American Pie? It's not seem crazy. Fucking a book? All right, all right.
No, keep going. Do you mean to say fucking a book? Never mind.
Okay. Which book have you had sex with, Billy? No, it's just...
Was it World Doll? It's like a couch. You never heard about that? Like, paper cuts are a thing.
Yeah, what? No. I said plastic bag.
Wait, so you do a plastic bag inside of a book? Plastic bag filled with lotion in a book. Inside of a book.
So you're just shutting a book on your dick? Yeah. It sounds like...
Repeatedly? Yeah, it's like a colonial fleshlight. Yeah.
Okay. Okay.
It's only fun once. We don't kink shame.
Look, it happened. I mean, Jake's made it happen.
You've never heard about this thing? Jake is Mr. Positions.
Jake, have you ever heard of this? Mr. Positions.

This is a paid advertisement. Breaking moves before we do our Herd Ranger for the entire week.
The Hall a mic. Has been delayed.
The Hall of Fame game has been delayed because the lights went out. Oh, no way.
Yes. Pete.
I just looked at the score because I was like, we need four more points. It says delayed.
And then I pulled it up and the lights are out. It's classic Belichick.
Baker's back. Yeah.
Okay. Morgan & Morgan, wonderful sponsor.
We're going to do hurt or injured instead of Fyre Fest this week, where it's basically the same thing. We're just going to air everything that happened.
Jake's going to keep a record of it on the board. So who would like to start, Hank? Yeah, can I just rattle him off? Yeah, go for it.
All right. Well, I'll start with it.
Before we get into Grit Week, I just got a bill for a lot of money because I still haven't returned my cable boxes. They're at our old office in the studio, and I don't know how I'm going to return them.
Yeah, those are gone. You don't really have to return cable boxes.
Yeah, they're just going to charge me like $500. I'll just...
Oh, $500? For $200. I'll give you $100.
Oh, perfect. I'll do it.
That's a hell of a negotiation right there. All right.
Great week. Started off.
Big Cat and PFT banished me from eating breakfast. That was a huge point of contention.
Wrong. What an asterisk next to that.
Secondly. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You just didn't get breakfast. Yeah.
Banning breakfast. Banning me from breakfast.
Hank, the last two days, what did you do on your own volition as a 30-year-old man? Yeah, because you like Dobby's, you gave me a sock. You let me go get breakfast on my own.
I had to ask for permission. Wait, what? Say that.
Harry Potter. Dobby's.
I'm a free elf. Dobby.
Dobby. Dobby is a free elf.
Dobby. You are a grown-ass man.
Now that you, yeah, you said you're allowed to get breakfast. I said, thank you.
Thank you. So it should actually say Big Cat empowered Hank.
Finally allowed. We're running out of real estate.
We're running out of real estate. Write it down.
Taught him how to get breakfast. Don't, don't, don't.
We'll write it down on our mind. I just don't understand you sometimes, Hank.
There was breakfast and you didn't eat it, and then you were like, I'm being held hostage because I wasn't allowed to eat breakfast. Then, moving on, you two who have your entire lives filmed.
We've been doing this show for forever. I used to do the social media.
I used to do videotaping and filming stuff on my phone. I decided to create some extra content on the side, trying to bring a little behind-the-scenes angle to the people.
Oh, for Pardon My Take? Yeah. Or for you? It gets posted.
It was an ad for Pardon it get posted it was literally an ad for part of my take cores like check the instagram page memes did that where did it get where were you posting it i was posting on tiktok and we were repurposing it on part of my take do you ever think that which is what you guys do on your twitters it's not like all your fucking tweets and all your clips get posted on just on part of my take you ever think you post them on your shit and then they get posted on part of my take do you ever think that first sentence you said That PFC and I get our entire lives filmed Maybe just ask the guys Who are in the fishbowl I'm in the fishbowl No but just ask the guys What about me? What about you? You filmed me all the time I had one clip Max was trying to catch some routes and you filmed them. It's rules for thee and not for me.
I opened my door one day out of my room at 8 in the morning and Hank was standing across the hall with his fucking camera. Well, you were making the most noise in the world.
I was like, who the fuck is causing a commotion outside? Oh, it's Big Cat. Obviously.
Maybe he just has to look at the guys and their feelings. But again, I just try and create a little content for the AWLs because I care about them.
I liked them. I've gotten chastised every time I take a camera out.
I get flipped off. I get kicked in the nuts.
PFP asked everyone. And then you guys keep going, Jake.
I told the guys off the camera that I quit weed. Didn't think it was going to be brought on the camera.
You guys blew up my spot on the podcast. And then...
Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no.
Let me finish. I gotta take this one at a time.
I have to take this one accusation out of time, Hank. That's not an accusation.
Let me respond to the accusation. In fact, I, in a moment, like, you guys were my close friends, and in a moment of vulnerability, I'm like, hey, guys, I'm going through something.
I'm quitting something. You're getting mad that we said that you were quitting weed on the podcast and roasting me being like you shouldn't quit you fucking pussy like it's something i've been going through and you guys are chastising me and then i just like you better on weed because you weren't like this and then and then at the meet and greet every single person that came up pf2 was like you got any drugs for hank you got any drugs for Hank? You got any drugs for Hank? So it's like, I can't be vulnerable

with the people that I'm supposed to be closest with.

And that's a problem. Fact or fiction, you took

that joint from me, though. I haven't smoked it, and

I gave it to you, and then you forced it back on

me. I gave

it to you. Fact or fiction? You gave it to

me, and then later you came up, and you're like, hey, you got that joint?

No, no, no, no,

no. That's fiction.

That is fiction. You just walked up to me at dinner and came back.
You need to start smoking weed again. Again, this is where it's very badly.
Weed lowers tea. All right.
Is that it, Hank? Sounds like you had a good week. Yeah, that's it.
Okay, PFT. I'm coughing tomorrow.
Nice. I had a great week with my friends.
Yeah. My only real complaint was that Hank did put my tiny suitcase out there again.
Roasted that on his TikTok. Whose fault is that that you have the world's smallest suitcase? Yeah.
I have lunchboxes bigger than your suitcase. It's a great suitcase.
It's perfect for a road trip. Perfect for one pair of socks.
No, it's great. It's a great suitcase, and Hank just finds himself.
All you do is hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. No, I just think it's a fun little, it's like, again, like I'm just a documentarian.
And you just happen to have the world's smallest suitcase. I have a tiny suitcase.
If you had a big suitcase I'd be like, look, he has a big suitcase. He's bigger than him.
He's so small. But like you have a small suitcase.
You know why I carry the small suitcase? To make you feel bigger. I know.
I get it. No.
Well, that's fucked up, Hank, because that's not what I was going to say at all. I was going to say to leave more room for my friend's suitcases.

What? When we pack stuff up into a car,

I take up a small amount of space with my luggage.

Very nice of you. Thank you.
You have tiny clothes. I do have tiny clothes.

I got these itty bitty mediums.

Tiny

shoes. No, my shoes are perfectly

good size, actually.

Okay, is that it? Yeah, I didn't really

have anything to complain about. I really enjoyed this trip with my friends.
Yeah. It was a good time.
I had a great time on this trip, too. Big Cat made a TikTok, also just fake news.
Said I can't kick, said I can't catch, put his fingers in my suit. Back to fiction, I did not say you can't kick.
I can't throw. Yeah, I said you can't throw it.
You have to kick it back to us every time. No, I had a great time with...
I actually didn't care about Hank doing the TikToks. I liked trolling him and going demon time on him on Wednesday.
People loved it. It was funny.
And I also righted all my wrongs. I bought you another coffee.
He's doing it again. He's TikTok-ing again.
Let's see. What else? Well well memes posted a video of me uh fattest i've ever looked uh i look like is this mine or yours i'm sorry okay uh i look like a raccoon eating trash underneath the porch and he just shined the light on me um that was tough i'm gonna go on a diet on monday uh were roasting me too for saying I'm going to go on a diet on Monday starting on a Thursday.
Me too. Yeah, Max and I are both.
You can't start a diet on a Thursday. Right, with football back.
Also, I saw Max's nipple and that was... Did you want to fuck it? That's my number one grievance.
I did. Hold on.
We're going to get to you. I titty fuck.
Paintball got pretty heated, but again, that was something that got put in the past like 20 minutes later, so that's good. I'm trying to think what else.
Yeah, so memes just doing that was really, really bad. I actually puked a little in my own throat when I saw myself, but I'm used to taking L's in that manner, so just another one.
Put it on the board. Memes had a The Nate Diaz thing The mix up with that He's been posting memes Of NFL footballs And they're the wrong football They're the football from like three seasons ago Not the current one, so we've got him on a performance improvement plan He still hasn't gotten the lottery ball Jake, put this down down.
I had to teach my 30-year-old son how to order breakfast,

which was crazy to me, but guess what?

That's why I'm here for him.

Let's see.

Oh, when we were walking to the meet and greet,

Jake said, oh, think about the germs,

and I wanted to punch him through his skull.

Not like that.

No, that's exactly how you said it.

There's going to be a lot of germs.

My rage just filled so large, I wanted to rage quit. It didn't hold me back.
I still dopped up all the AWLs. Yeah, I know, but just saying, ugh, think about the germs made me want to just- A group herder injured, the Josh Allen thing.
Yeah, Josh Allen. The room 40.
That's bad. That was tough.
Immature on his part, though. Oh, also, last thing, thing When we walked into the interview today Billy actually was doing a very nice thing Handed me a Coors Light Polo But he handed me a medium I put it on and I thought I was going to die That was not Billy's fault That was my own fault Again the fat thing So yeah We're going to go back on the diet Oh there was one Fyre Fest this week I don't know if anybody was behind me when we were walking out of Bills camp.
There was a kid. There was like a six-year-old kid that was reaching over the railing trying to get high fives from everybody that was walking off the field.
He was a big Bills fan. Big Cat walks off in front of me, and the six-year-old has his hand out to get dapped up.
Big Cat goes up there, hits him with a clean high five. Then I go up to follow Big Cat big cat up go for the high five and this six-year-old pulls his hand back i got fucking roasted by a six-year-old exiting bills camp that's tough put that one on the list jake yeah that's tough that's tough but yeah overall i do love grit week the the bickering the back and forth it's it's the best it is fun because none of it is serious uh except hank not ordering breakfast that was serious uh and also the jake uh comment about the germs that was also serious but everything else is just breakfast and i love you guys i love hanging out with you guys all right billy billy i love you guys too.
Real hurt.

Took a shower before bed.

Put the thermostat way down.

Water was on the floor of the bathroom.

3 a.m. went to take a piss.

Walked to the bathroom.

Slipped on the water from the shower.

Ass down.

Took a bad crack.

Fell asleep for 20 minutes on the bathroom floor.

She's like, I can't get up right now. Oh That's bad Got up and Went back to bed Oh, I forgot one real quick Because you're talking, maybe remember it All the welts we have from paintball When Billy shot us from two feet away And then was like, I just didn't get shot Go ahead I.
Yeah, well, we can't. Yeah, I have paintball fire fest, too.
No spoilers. No spoilers.
Look, getting outmaneuvered. You know, there was a lot of flanking.
One rule, 10 feet or less, do not shoot. Those are child rules.
Billy J. J.
J. No spoilers.
All right. Ego hurt paintball.

Okay.

No, spoilers.

No, that's not.

People can be anything.

That's very deuced.

Yeah, if you've ever listened to this show, you're probably thinking to yourself,

what was Billy like at a paintball tournament?

And you are 100% correct in thinking about what Billy was like playing paintball.

Berserker mode.

No one had a chance.

Okay. Correct.
Fact check to be determined. Yes.
And yeah. Do you have a real Fyre Fest, Billy? Or a goodbye? No, it's...
Well, we'll do the goodbye at the very end. That's the big one.
Okay. All right.
We have two more things we're going to do. We've got to do Jake.
I want to hear Max. I need a pee.
All right. Jake.
Billy's just going to leave and Come back. Yeah, no spoilers, but I have my biggest regret in my history.
I'm part of my take from Paintball. Your biggest regret? Yeah, there's only two times where.
He doesn't regret it. I saw the fire in his eyes.
Wait, what was your other regret? When I accidentally went live for Billy's Way and on my account instead of the part of my take one. I remember you were mad Oh, yeah, that's what about that's the only time I don't even remember.
I don't remember. That's the memory that sticks out as you being mad at me.
And then this one from paintball was one of you guys being mad. I don't remember you doing that.
Yeah. What about when you fell asleep during the grit stream? No, I didn't.
Yeah, good point. What about the Mount Rushmore of blue things? No.
Oh, oh, oh, I didn't. Yeah, good point, Hank.
What about the Mount Rushmore of blue things?

No.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

I was confusing that with red things for the poor's light.

Okay.

But yeah, subscribe.

YouTube.

All right, wait, is that it?

Yeah, I've been losing sleep over that since Tuesday.

Damn.

Yeah.

That's tough.

That makes me feel bad.

No, no, no, you shouldn't feel bad. No spoilers, but a hank spoilers yeah credo marsh yeah yeah it's gonna be a great moment you've been losing sleep over that not like literally but like touchdown it's definitely been taking up touchdown over over let's go we're back lights are back people we're back i had a bunch of losers saying don't take the over.

When one of you guys get mad at me, I feel like there's regret.

So you know that no one gets mad at you for that long.

Yeah, that's the thing.

Like the whole speech I gave at the beginning.

I'm just like 10 minutes.

It's a 20-minute quick mad and everything.

I'm a perfectionist.

That was in between the lines.

Right.

It happened on the battlefield.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I just try to strive for perfection. Oh and shot of a lifetime shot of a lifetime that was technically on the day first day zero of root week that's true okay max what are yours i'll be really quick um memes and shane or graphics guy are a bunch of assholes for starting a fake rumor about me.
What was that rumor?

Don't worry about it.

Oh, was that the one where you're the, was it Long Island foot fucker?

Yeah, no, that was not me.

It looked just like you.

Yeah, well, that's because Shane did AI and made the person look like me. And then memes got like five million views on the tweet.

You're welcome, memes.

Piece of shit.

Billy ripped my shirt, made fun of the quality of my welcome, memes. Piece of shit.
Billy ripped

my shirt, made fun of the quality

of my t-shirts. Your favorite shirt.

Your favorite shirt. Good shirt.
My mom

already called me and said she's going to buy me a new one.

Oh, that was nice. Very nice of her.

Make sure it's better quality.

Yep. That'll probably be the same quality.

And last one, Big Cat just loves calling me fat.

Well, no. You are fat, and I am

fat, too. And we're going to go on a diet together.
That's true. I'm going to be so ripped.
Everyone gets ripped when they move to Chicago. We're going to get in shape together.
We'll do accountability. We should send each other our weights every morning.
Right. No, I won't send any weight.
Let me start with a treadmill. Fuck you.
Okay. See, this is why we got to stick together.
Who weighs more? Me, by a lot. How much do you weigh? I don't know much you weigh We don't need to worry about it Are you over 220 That was actually very nice of you I've been 220 since like the 8th grade 220 is my dream lead.
Oh, so you're over 220.

Perfect for a fight.

Oh.

People would love it.

All right, Billy, do your sign off.

No, wait.

Before we do that,

one of my favorite things that we get to do

every time we go on a trip together,

we hire a sound guy.

This week we had Matt with us.

He was great.

And we do every year

with the sound guy, whether it be Super Bowl week or Grit or grit week Matt we just need your thoughts on all this you got to watch it front row you got thrust into this did you know who we were before this it was still scarred from our Super Bowl guy he's got Matt's got a great laugh too thanks yeah yeah it's been a great time man uh you guys were a ton of fun and uh it's just kind of crazy.

That's tough. Yeah.
Oh, don't give me the puppy dog eyes. Puppy dog eyes.
Hank. I don't know, man.
I plead the fifth. Was there ever a moment where you're like, are these guys going to end the podcast right here because they're yelling at each other so much? Yeah.
Yeah. Didn was gonna go yeah paintball was fun yeah it was a lot of fun so so you had a good time great time okay what's your favorite sound oh i don't want to spoil anything yeah i think they'll find a video later where my favorite sound will be revealed yes matt the sound guy basically i know what it is he had to go he basically was tortured for one of the videos and and had to take his headphones off at one point.

Yeah, it was not good.

Oh, as a sound professional,

I don't think he heard.

I don't know if I've heard Hank's yawns.

Happy Grit Week. Just a wild gift.
It's a wild gift. I answered the text like a normal person.
Yeah. It's in here? Yeah.
It's in there. There's a little something to remember us by.
Oh, my God. What is it, Billy? Explain it to the people.
It's It's It's a It looks like grade A Angus. It's a lot of meat.
It's a lot of meat. We got you a bunch of meat.
What time is your flight? 6 a.m. This is amazing.
Yeah. Have fun getting that home.
No. You just bought meat for yourself.
Oh, you're flying, so you probably- I have a grill. Yeah.
Yeah. I got two freezers.
All right. I don't do well in these moments.
Yeah. You said that you wrote 3,000 words.
Before this. Is that a lie? Blog's coming out Friday.
Okay. Some point.
It's coming out. Just needs to be read through real quick.
Check it out. It'll be on my Twitter.
It'll be on Hank's TikTok as well. Yeah.
No, but seriously, this whole thing has been such a ride. For lack of a better term.
You guys are a trip in yourself. You guys have been so successful in what you've been doing.
When I first, I was such a huge fan. I was 18, listening to you guys in the car.
I saw Hank put out a tweet looking for New York City based interns and it's crazy that sort of the thing that got me in is also sort of a big part of why I have to leave we were looking through some of the old email conversations with Hank and I when it first happened we found my own resume it will be in the blog check it out yeah you Hank did tell us before we even interviewed you he's like I found the guy like just sit down with him for a minute but he's the guy and now and you were the guy it was like seven sheets stapled together he had a link to his high school highlight tape that was like printed out on his resume i found his first email then he said i can do photoshop I did take I did take a Photoshop class I wasn't proficient

but photoshop i did take i did take a photoshop class okay i wasn't proficient but i mean no that's a good recipe i know yeah um let me laugh uh no but i mean it the whole this whole it's been like a it's been like a dream and a dream and everything's and so crazy. I feel like Forrest Gump a lot just ending up in crazy situations.
I mean, you guys have had so much success. You guys are so talented.
And it's been amazing watching from a firsthand point of view everything that you guys have accomplished. And I have no doubt that you guys are going to do amazing in Chicago new guys memes max you're going to have an amazing success here I wish you all the best Shane Shane it's literally standing in between memes and max Jake of course I mean you guys are going to have a great thing going here in Chicago.
I wish all the best. I mean, the thing is, a lot of people are asking, like, what the fuck are you doing? Why are you leaving? Unfortunately, you know, people have circumstances at home that you kind of can't leave sometimes.

It's hard to really explain.

You don't want to air dirty laundry about your family, but I got to stay home.

But moving forward,

I'm going to be...

Even though not being with you guys is gonna suck and you know from a uh career standpoint like you guys are the shit thank you billy billy i love you you've made me laugh so many times on this show sometimes intentionally sometimes unintentionally but uh it's been awesome having you. We're going to miss you.

But you'll be around occasionally. Yes.
You can follow Barstool Sports, and Billy will still be working for Barstool Sports. And if there's another pandemic, you'll probably find your way back.
Yes. I love you too, Billy.
You're special, and I mean that in the best way. Your brain works in a special way, and unique brains always make me laugh.
it would be very funny if the jets got really really good and won a super bowl and billy couldn't come along to do it it's too bad tell us that he feels bad for us no but billy you're you're talented in your own right and you are uh you you are a hard worker and i like all i mean it's it's like what i said at the beginning of the show all the all the mini beefs and fights like they all don't matter because you were a man in the arena. You were part of this, and so we always love you.
I've had a huge... This show has been probably the biggest impact on my life ever.
When I was 18 years old and I was interning, I had no idea how any of this would turn out and you know for a long time I'm gonna be honest there was a time after I was an intern the first time you know dealing with college football for the first time it was held against me a lot and that's where there was a point where I was just like fuck like sometimes I don't think that now but sometimes it's like i wish i never did this because it's seriously impacting me being able to get on the field play it was a much different landscape uh when it came to social media nil stuff like if if the nil stuff now was going on back in 2017 and like I would have been able to continue to keep touch,

but I got kicked off the team after you guys came to visit, and I just, the only reason I want to give that context is because it was, I was, like, no one really ever tells

you how to deal with any of this stuff, and I'm not trying to make myself seem like a

victim or anything, but I, when I came back, like I like I love this show but there was a time where I literally couldn't interact with you guys I don't know I don't know what I'm trying to say here but I'm just I just want you guys to know that this has been such a wild ride and on so many ups and downs and I I don't know how to describe how much i owe to you guys for what you've done for me and i thank you guys so much um you you were a you were in 18 when you started i was 19 when i started a lot a lot of the stuff that you went through like reminded me of stuff that i went through working at barstool and i think it's like easy from the outside to yes criticize and be like oh like billy's an idiot like how could he like why doesn't he do this why doesn't he do that and like no one understands that pretty much 99 of the the fans and the people listening like if they were in your shoes they would not be able to do and like contribute the way you've contributed i also i also just want to apologize for any times I seemed ungrateful, any times I've been difficult, I know that. But, you know, hopefully one day it's going to help me become the person that I want to be.
And, you know, I'm going to keep working for Barstool. I'm going to try to, you know, create content because you guys, I mean, talking about coaching trees, like I hoped one day to become half as good as what you guys do in the thing because you guys, you revolutionize the game, the whole media landscape.
You've, uh, you have had a very unique life. Like from, from the age of 17, uh, it's, it's a one of a kind that, you know, in the short time that we've uh you have had a very unique life like from from the age of 17 uh it's it's a one of a kind that you know in the short time that we've known you you've done some wild shit like you've done you knocked out jose canseco that's that's pretty wild you did i'll admit it you did oscar del hoyo said you got him on the side of the head knocked him out i mean i i cannot wait to see what you guys you ran a marathon yeah you ran a marathon on a treadmill light work yeah billy you're you're uh you everything you said is right i mean and what hank was saying like the it was what i just said the man in the arena you you were part of this you'll always be part of it uh so thank you billy we do love you and uh we'll see you at some point see at some point i'll be back pretty

soon yeah pandemic i mean the great lakes region is an amazing place for a pandemic the fresh waters it's like it's probably the most valuable land on earth no no seriously the fresh water source if there was like a serious situation right i think it would do numbers we should bunk up i I mean, if we had to do a bunker.

Meems just got $60.

Love you, Billy.
