What would you say is the line to start the show? Patriots are dead. Yeah, that's – It's like Mad Libs.
Like, are they dead this year or is this like a – this feels like it's a multi-year thing going on. They're 6-6, but they did just lose to the Buffalo Bills in a pretty – it's as significant as a beating as 24-7 would tell you.
Like, that maybe not is a score that you look at and you're like, oh, that was a beatdown. It was pretty significant.
Hank? Yeah, it started off great. Good first quarter.
Had them in the first half. Had them in in the first quarter and then at the end of the second half they were driving had a second and one with two timeouts 30 seconds left second quarter yeah yeah and it somehow turned into a qb sneak on third down and then they had first and 10 with no timeouts after gaining one yard yeah to then they missed a few.
That was Belichick giving up. It was a bizarre, bizarre sequence.
To me, I've never seen Bill Belichick beg for three points like I saw at the end of the first half. Also mismanaged the Patriots and Belichick.
The mark of a Patriots team was always the middle eight. The last four minutes of the first half, the first four minutes of the second half.
And he just botched it. But you know what I'm saying? He was acting like the 30-yard line was the goal line.
In that case, he was calling plays, essentially not letting Mac Jones throw the ball, not really trying to score a touchdown, just saying, okay, let's get within 50 yards for a field goal, and then we'll just go into halftime with a field

goal.

And then Nick Folk goes out there, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Folk goes out there and misses a 48-yarder short.

Hank, I mean, you would agree, though, that the play calling in a situation like that,

Bill Belichick is trying to tell you, as a Patriots fan, we can't trust mac jones yeah and matt patricia also bad all night all season matt patricia the whole let's see if this guy who has never called plays in his life can call plays it's actually it's actually mean what they're doing to mac jones like if i were mac jones i'd be pissed but you gave me matt patricia as as the play caller in my second year, the year that I'm supposed to make big strides as a quarterback? Like, that's kind of fucked up. Yeah.
Well, they're probably going to get Bill O'Brien because he wants to come back to the NFL. He wants to leave Alabama.
So, I actually think that would be a great fit, bring him back to New England. Yeah.
Bill O'Brien is a very good offensive coordinator. And we should also say, on the other side, the Bills looked like the Bills again, where they were just kind of toying with the Patriots.
The second half, it felt like they went on that eight-minute drive, nine-minute drive where they just got first down after first down. Didn't even feel like the Bills had to break a sweat tonight.
No. Hank, I do feel bad because you're not used to being in a situation like this.

You're used to being a Patriots fan.

So I'd like to offer you space.

There is space on the commander's bandwagon.

If you'd like to experience what it's like rooting for a team that's hitting their stride right now,

that's in the hunt, come on over to Washington.

Left hand up.

He's getting it up.

He's getting it up.

Hank, let's do it.

Left hand up.

Come on.

Hank.

Come on, Hank.

You can do it.

Hank, would it make you feel better if I let you do lottery ball once? Left hand up. Left hand up.
There we go. All right.
Hank's officially commander this year. La-hoo.
I love it, Hank. Would you like me to? Yes, 17.
All right. No one else gets to guess.
No. It's just Hank.
This counts. This counts.
This counts. This counts.
Everyone guess. 64.

18.

5.

20.

Sebastian has 44. This is actually the one time I might be rooting for you.

Let's go, Hank.

22 coming up.

Is he going to make it second?

No.

Oh, my gosh.

17 was second.

17 was second.

No.

17 was full of 22.

17 was pushing it up.

Yes.

Oh, no.

Yeah, but if it was the top.

I don't think that's.

I don't think you lose sleep over that one.

No, you lose sleep over that.

I lose sleep over this ball machine every night.

You've never seen 17 even in the shoot.

That was the first misfire in a very, very long time.

Like, I think a year.

All right, I'll give it to you again.

64.

17.

33.

20.

Counts. If that isn't like Billy, 18.
Officially counts. 16.
Come on, Hank. I want to pick you up.
Oh, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy. 45.
Oh. All right, so you're a loser in that still.
I was just hoping. I was hoping that maybe you were.
Also, 45 hit less than a month ago. This is insane.
Yeah. So, Hank, I mean, the Bills are really good.
Yeah, I mean, you guys talk on this show about the guy, the guy, the guy. I think you overused it a little bit.
But tonight it was like watching the Patriots struggle, and then Josh Allen's the best quarterback in the NFL by far. Oh, he just slid before a first down.
Yeah. No, Josh Allen.
He's like watching him is watching like the old Patriots where he makes every throw he makes every play right they look unstoppable the wide receivers like the the quarterback and wide receivers versus our quarterback and wide receivers you it's just the biggest mismatch in the world and it goes back to the conversation we had on Sunday when there's like people actually who are saying that Josh Allen's overrated and it's like okay so he throws some interceptions every now and then like if that's if he's overrated like what he's so fucking good he's hitting throws under pressure he's hitting everything throws where guys are covered the scramble into a touchdown the best story made tonight was came back as a holding that bombed his step on. No,, I still think the jump pass that he made on the sidelines across his body for the actual touchdown, that was the best throw.
Now Michaels is so mailing it in. He was just like, and that was a completion.
Hank, how do you feel about the fact that they're wearing these uniforms, the throwback with Pat the Patriot, and this is the best result that you can get out of these uniforms? Those uniforms are awesome. That's tough.
Yeah. No, I mean, the season's over.
They'll lose the season in these jerseys, best jerseys they have by far. And they didn't – Brady didn't wear them for like the last, I don't even know, 10-plus years of his career.
I don't know why they just brought him back this year. Well, it's because of the two shells, I think.
Everyone can wear more – Two helmets. Two helmet shells because they can wear more throwbacks now.
Right, but it's just sad that they brought him back. And like you said, they put up this performance.
I've actually, I've had the idea that when a team wins a Super Bowl, they have to change their jersey from that point forward. And those jerseys remain as like the Super Bowl champion retro that you're allowed to wear in throwback night.
But it's like you're retiring that entire design. Yeah.
I like that. Hank, good news is you get to see the Patriots on Monday Night Football next week.
For the season. If they win that game, who knows? I don't know.
You're still in the hunt, though. Yeah.
I don't know. Everyone's in the hunt.
The hunt for what, though? That's where it's like you guys, you know, commander's left hand up. I'm on the bandwagon.
But we're both in the hunt to get smoked in the wild card round. So that sort of feels like okay.
But, Hank, what you have to understand. And I don't even think we're going to make the playoffs.
Getting smoked in the wild card round is going to feel awesome, though. We're in the playoffs.
We get smoked. Not for Hank.
You're recalibrating your expectations in real time right now. Hank's done every position.
You're basically being like, Hank, you'll get a hand job.

It'll be awesome.

No, I'm like, no.

He's done all the positions.

Losing in the wild card is like the girl's going to be on top.

He's been.

Let's go.

He's Wilt Chamberlain.

We're just sitting here like, Hank, would it be cool to touch a girl?

Hank can't even get a boner when he's going left hand up.

To go to the playoffs.

A playoff berth is not even boner. Oh when he's when he's going left hand up to the playoffs a playoff birth is not

even boner oh mac jones throws a seed unconscious and hospital pass oh jesus nope he's all right all right so anything else in this game i mean it was um it was it was it was old-fashioned butt whooping and it was also a great like thursday night tease where the first quarter we're like oh is this going to be a good game? And it's been totally boring. Al Michaels is just mailing it in.
I respect the fuck out of Al Michaels and what he's doing, but you can tell even he's like, this is. And next week they have Raiders-Rams.
He's going to hate that. He's going to hate calling that game.
But it's in L.A., so he won't be upset. But he's still going to be pissed off that he has to watch that game.
You know what? Next Thursday, actually, it might be the complete opposite. Al Michaels, you might never see him as animated as he'll be because he'll probably put like $5 million on the game just to make it interesting.
Yeah, so it's tough. Thursday Night Football, not the best.
What are you going to say, Billy?

Hank, last question.

Do you think nepotism got us to this point as Patriots?

No, his son is not calling the offense.

Their defense has been really good.

Fact or fiction, Billy.

Top 10 defense in the league.

It does.

Billy, answer the man.

Answer the man.

Billy?

Are they top 10 defense in the league? Fact or fiction. I'm asking you.
I don't know the exact. It's the man Billy are they talking Billy

I'm asking you I don't know that or fiction Billy I don't know Billy back to the fucking question. I don't know this is that is it fact Billy

I don't know the fuck up and answer the question I don't know factor fiction Billy

Fact I guess okay there we go back Fact. Is it actually fact, though?

I don't know.

What's the top ten defense here?

Hey, guess the idea?

I got you.

I think so.

They're like the 14th best defense.

Yeah, like what if they're the 11th? It does feel like, though, the Patriots do have to clean something out of the coaching staff.

Yeah.

And mostly Matt Patricia.

Matt Patricia would be the one.

Matt Patricia would be the one.

Matt Patricia would be the one.

Yeah, Matt Patricia is the one.

Belichick did have a hilarious coat that he was wearing on the sidelines today, though.

The six fewest points allowed the Patriots.

Okay.

Bang.

Top 10.

Jets are four.

Not a top five, though.

Well, that wasn't the fact. Billy, fact or fiction, the question was top 10.
Jets are four. Not a top five, though.
Well, that wasn't –

That wasn't –

Billy, fact or fiction, the question was top 10.

Oh, no, Mac.

He just spun into a sack.

It's now third and goal from the 25.

I have –

Don't worry, Hank.

I've been in this position.

Wisconsin was in this position.

They had third and goal from the 35 against Minnesota last week.

This guy's crying. It's okay.
The guy i was crying it's okay you got this scottson also put in a backup quarterback that had the biggest knee brace i've ever seen in my life and it's like offensive lineman he's never he he didn't play any snaps how how's his knee so hurt well it's kind of foreshadowing because we talked about it later but i'm kind of i'm i'm back on brady Yeah, you are. Oh, he spun again.
He spun again. Oh, and he's taunting the guy that was on the ground.
Throwing the fucking end zone. I got the over.
When Mac Jones runs. Give a third and goal from midfield.
When Mac Jones runs, he literally looks like he's running for his life. Oh, my God.
Hank, this is going out bad. He's just running around back there.
The problem with Patricia, too, is you want to kind of be like, maybe we should put Zapian, but it doesn't matter. No, it doesn't.
It really doesn't. When your offensive coordinator is a lifelong defensive coordinator that quit being a rocket scientist to be like a spreadsheet guy for Bill Belichick.
And then was a disaster of a head coach. It's probably not going to end up too well for your offense.
It's really. I also defended him.
I used to say people hated his interview on this show and I was like, no, he's pretty good. But this is, I don't know that I can say that.
It makes us feel smart for having common sense because going into the season, we're like, what is Bill Belichick doing? He's like going back and forth, back and forth between Joe Judge and Matt Patricia, and we don't know who's actually going to end up calling the plays. But everybody out there was like, this is going to be a disaster.
Neither one of these guys would work. And it makes me feel temporarily like I'm smarter than Bill Belichick.
So I'm a big fan of that. Thank you, Bill.
Yeah, I feel like if we were playing Madden in the end of the first half,

we probably would have ended up with a better result than what happened.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, you know what?

God bless the broken road that brought Hank to the Washington Commanders fan base.

I'm excited.

I'm excited, Hank.

Let's fucking go.

I can't wait to lose in the wild card round to Kirk Cousins with you.

It's going to be great.

All right.

Let's kick it to ourselves.

Any World Cup talk?

Oh, yeah, we could.

See you later, Germany.

Can I still be left-handed up if potentially, theoretically,

I put the Giants and the Hungry Dog?

Yeah, you can.

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

Just next week.

Yeah, you always root against our teams.

It's not official yet.

Yeah, sure, whatever.

Just say left-handed up.

All right, Germany's gone. Bye, bitch, Germany.
Bye bitch Germany Bye bitch Belgium Japan what a journey Bye bitch Mexico Bye boys Japan was incredible Japan was great today You know what I actually do like about the World Cup though Is when they fired the team's coaches Like before they even leave the field After they get eliminated That's something that I think American sports could learn from.

I'm pretty sure Germany's coach got fired.

I think Belgium's coach fired himself.

He resigned before the final whistle.

Mexico's coach got fired, I think, before his post-game press conference.

I also liked all the German fans being like, this is what happens when you protest,

because they protested before the first game.

They covered their mouths.

They're like, you guys didn't focus on soccer. Yeah, stick to sports.
Yeah. And that's why I got...
Well, they kind of sucked, too, and everyone thought they kind of sucked. Go woke, go broke in the World Cup.
Yeah. Kanye West down super bad.
Super bad. Germany's out of there.
Yeah, he just picked up a kit. It's brutal.
Brutal timing. Just showed up.
Okay. Yeah, let's kick it to ourselves.
Should we call Rosillo? Regarding Chris Paul. Oh, yeah.
Kanye West dropped a bomb on us tonight. Do you want to call him for an immediate comment? Chris Paul.
He claims, Kanye West claims, according to a tweet, that Chris Paul got caught with Kim. I'm not going to call him.
Let's not give this guy a platform. No.
I'm giving Chris Paul a platform. Oh, so it's just like a...
I want to call him, but also Rosilla will have like a 40-minute answer. I'm like, why? And I don't want to put him in a bad spot.
So right now... It feels like he'd be put in a bad spot.
Trending is Chris Paul and Cliff Paul. Oh.
Maybe it was Cliff Paul. Yeah, Cliff Paul, the insurance guy.
Yeah. Wasn't me.

This is what we've been waiting for. I feel like recently there have been a few weekends where looking at the games going into it we've been like alright we're going to scratch and claw through this one this my pants are getting tight just looking at the schedule.
It's and you know what's the best part? It doesn't even have to have the primetime games, the standalone games aren't even that good. It's a Sunday.
It's a Sunday slate that is going to be great. We have Titans, Eagles.
We've got Jets, Vikings. Then in the afternoon, the Bengals, the Chiefs.
We've got the Dolphins, the 49ers. There are some very good games that are going to tell us a lot about who's actually good in the NFL this year leave it all out on the field on Sunday because Monday night football we don't really care about that that much that's a sticker jumping so so leave it leave it on the field this is when you go hard on Sunday I need an eight-hour commitment from everybody out there watch football like you've never watched football before and then And then just Monday, we can just coast through it.
It's downhill on Monday. Yeah, and it does feel like this is week 13.
We are down the home stretch. Doesn't it feel like this is the weekend where we're going to come away being like, okay, these are the teams we really feel confident about.
I'm declaring this separation Sunday. It's officially separation Sunday.
There's some games that will definitely dictate how I view it. Like if the Bengals win, the Dolphins win, if the Titans win, if the Jets win, the Jets are going to win.
Yeah, I think that, well. Yeah, the Jets are going to win.
I don't know. The Jets are going to win.
Their defense, we'll get to it in a little bit. I like that defense.
I like that defense a lot. All right, the only thing I had before we got into the games and picks, because the Cardinals are on a bye, we did have some news that Kyler Murray, Patrick Peterson, went on a podcast and basically was like, Kyler Murray only cares about Kyler Murray.
This league going on, Kyler Murray came back at him on Twitter uh it just feels like everything could not be going worse with the car this NFL season has some like true dumpster fires whether it be off field on field like the Rams the Texans and the Cardinals are just simmering fires at all times yeah it does seem like with uh with Kyler, this is like the most Kyler Murray controversy that could happen because it does involve a podcast, and then it involves tweeting back at somebody, and it involves somebody making fun of him for not spending enough time watching film. Kyler just needs to get on Twitch and watch film.
I think this would all go... How awesome would that be if Kyler Murray did like an hour in conjunction with Amazon Prime

where he's watching film on Twitch?

It combines his two greatest loves,

which is football,

and then kind of playing video games.

He could even break down his own Madden film

if that would make him feel better.

So not to be Colin Coward here,

but I feel like Kyler Murray's biggest problem

is he's a baseball player.

Okay.

He's a baseball player.

Baseball players,

they care about themselves.

I don't... You play on a baseball team, but a baseball player is...
Their worth is determined by their singular play. Football is a team sport.
Kyler Murray's a baseball player. I was going to say say baseball player because he that's like the sense of urgency that he has during the season he does play like it's 163 game season doesn't yeah but it's but don't you think like there's he obviously was so good at baseball he was just the whole decision should I decide I I'm not surprised that Kyler Murray might be a little bit self-absorbed and not like best guy in the locker room, but I also think it might be because he was a really good baseball player and he played in a baseball locker room where you don't have to care about everyone else all the time.
I think maybe he just might be a selfish kind of guy. Because baseball players, at least, they can bro out.
They can bro out, but you're on an island in a baseball game. What you do is really on an island versus every other sport.
Yeah, statistically, definitely. That makes sense.
I just think that Kyler Murray is probably, like, last in the league in terms of the old conversation, like, when it comes to politicians. Which guy would you like to get a beer with the most? Kyler Murray, I think, he might be 32 if we're power ranking all starting quarterbacks in the league.
I think he would just, yeah, you'd just get a beer with him, and the whole time he'd be like, I wish I was doing anything but being with you. You would just be on his phone the entire time.
Say what you want about Russell Wilson, but it's one beer. I think I could have one beer with Russell Wilson.
Well, he'd probably just say some weird shit, and he'd be like, yeah, that was interesting. Yeah, exactly.
Not by a cup of tea, but it was interesting. I didn't say which beer it would be.
I think beer number nine of the night with Russell Wilson, I could do that and then just get the hell out of there after I was doing that. Yes.
Okay, so let's get into some games. Let's talk about some stuff.
We have Billy back in studio, which we'll have to discuss, Billy, because we haven't had you in studio since zach wilson that was convenient wasn't it that you happened to come down with swine flu right when zach wilson went out mike white stepped up when pigs fly it is it is quite something billy to be the football the the billy football in your name qb's whisperer you've had two of your guys get benched this year. Yeah, it's tough.
Two. It's tough for the program.
It's hard. But Sam Ellinger did not get benched for performance.
He just got benched because the new coach was like, oh, yeah, it's Sam Ellinger. Yeah.
Yeah. And Trevor Lawrence has been balling out like the last three or four weeks.
Yeah, that was actually – that was a tough Sunday. I forgot about that.
like Trevor Lawrence was going down Sam Ellinger got the start

Zach Wilson and the Jets were rolling

Yeah, you gotta ride the waves

Maybe there's a little correction to the mean going

As body language experts

We thought that Zach Wilson looked bad on the sidelines

When he was wearing that hood

He looked like a clitoris

He was just getting rained on

Is he gonna be starting?

I know he's not starting

Is he gonna be dressing this week?

I'm going to go ahead? I mean, not that's I know he's not starting. Is he going to be dressing this week? I'm not sure yet.
There was like questions about it last week, but. Well, no, there were no questions about it last week.
Last week, you just texted. Well, everyone was like, I'm going to bet Zach Wilson to score a touchdown just because fuck it.
He might get in and memes is like, Oh, he's not dressing. So we don't know if he's dressing or not.

We don't know yet.

If you're Zach Wilson,

you like,

is it,

it's more emasculating to not be dressed and be on the side.

Oh,

absolutely.

Like to be deactivated.

Absolutely.

But I think that Sala knowing what I know about him,

he's a good motivator.

That's kind of what he's known for being like,

even when he was in San Francisco on the sidelines, his team loved playing for him, and they got up for every game, every big game that defense was always playing way above their level. This could be just a great motivational tactic that he's using to be like, listen, you're not above the team.
I'm going to sit on the sidelines. I'm going to make you watch.
The thing is that Bears game was an opportune game for anyone to shine.

So Mike White shining, we know what Mike White has.

He can have those big games and see him perform, and he did.

But I want to see if he can consistently do that.

We have a small sample size on his play.

Wow, it seems like you're being a little more critical of Mike White

than you ever were of Zach Wilson. No, no, I'm not.
I mean, Mike White's been playing amazing. Is Mike White? Right.
So I like Mike. His ceiling is Tom Brady.
Oh! All right. I said this when he got his ceiling is Tom Brady.
But I'd rather personally have Tom Brady's career than Patrick Mahomes' career. Right.
So Mike White, you're saying he is better than Zach Wilson? Insane that the Jets have talent at quarterback yeah and we have the elite oh yeah who is that his ceiling is joe flacco and we have a cfl legend as qb4 streveler yeah who could easily play some tasting taste some hill type package you guys you guys definitely have dream team the best quarterback room in the history of organized football exactly all right uh let. Just one ball, though.
That's the trick. Yeah.
Just one ball. All right.
Let's do some picks. What do we have for updated stats? I know I was terrible.
Yeah. Congrats to PFT and Max.
Both 4-1. And suddenly, Big Cat, your lead is one game in first place.
I went 0-5. It was just a bit, though.
So I'll get back to that. Nice.
So what are the standings? Yeah. So Big Cat at 25-23-1.
Max is one game behind that. PFT a half a game behind that.
And then we have a little bit of a gap. I'm 20-29.
One game ahead of Hank and Billy, who are still tied at 19-30. That sounds like a lot you, like, skip an entire 10 digits.

Yeah.

Like 19 and 30.

Yeah.

It's all right.

That just means that they're about to get hot.

24 picks left.

Hungry Dog this weekend?

There's so many.

I might do two.

Are you going to do two?

No, I was thinking about it, but.

Why don't you do two?

Why don't you only do two games?

But there's so many dogs. Okay, all right.
Forget it. I'm not going to go.
Don't mess with the science. Yeah, go forward.
Now we're talking. Yeah, because three has been so easy.
Okay. Your favorite.
You're so rude. I want to win it.
I bet it every week. We're going to.
Trust. If I do four and it's plus 2,000 and we win, then we're up on the season.
Okay, good point. You've got to remember.
That's a good point. Good point.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gamble responsibly.
My favorite favorite is the Vikings. Everything Billy just talked about, I agree with Mike White.
He's not good. Zach Wilson also was not good.
They're minus three against the Jets. The Vikings played really well against the Patriots, one of the best teams in the NFL.
Great fan. Great fan base.
Super Bowl favorites, to say the least.

And I think they're going to come out and just destroy

Mike White. And everyone's going to remember, oh yeah,

this exact thing happened last year.

This exact

same thing happened last year.

I got hurt the next game.

I feel like if Mac Jones played well against

this defense, then Mike White can also play well

against this defense. Their pass defense is not that good.

This is going to be another game that Mike White could actually go off. I think the Jets are going to wreck shit on defense.
That's my prediction for this game. They're going to wreck shit.
So I don't have any stats to back me up because I didn't look them up, but I'm 100% sure that if you look this up, I'll be correct on it. I think Kirk Cousins sucks against the Blitz, and it gets pressure.
And I think that Jets defense is going to get – that's what they do. They're going to heat them up.
If they can heat up Kirk Cousins, then Kirk Cousins is going to burst into flames in a bad way. Kirk Cousins is known as one of the most conservative playing quarterbacks in the NFL, and usually against the Blitz, he's not going to take risks, and I think he's going to be Dundo.
Dundoundo dundo no i like dundo dundo okay like i've gone back and forth between i do respect the vikings on like individual game basis sometimes this i'm flipping back i do not respect the minnesota vikings this weekend yeah and they the vikings this might be their last like very tough game they they their schedule coming up they're gonna win a a lot of games. I got wreck shit.
I got wreck shit on this one. I was going to pick the Browns, but I feel like I just can't.
Ethically, ethically, you cannot. I want to, and I still might.
Just on the graphic. Yeah.
Max, I hear you. Eagles minus four and a half.
Oh, shit. Well, that's the Titans.
This game screams Titans. The line screams Titans.
It does. I went on one of my apps.
I saw 80% of the public is on the Titans. I almost took the Titans.
That's a lie i didn't but i want it i hated it hate this game so much that i think everybody hates this game so much i'm taking the eagles so vrabel 21 and 7 against the spread when he's getting three or more points yeah as an underdog at three or more that would make me a little bit nervous if i were you max i do like max's flow chart in his head, which is like, should I take the Eagles this week?

No, don't take the Eagles again this week.

And then the next flow chart down is, fuck

it, take the Eagles again this week. Well, I kind of agree

with what you're saying in that the Titans

are, the Titans

are great as an underdog that no

one expects. But now it feels like

everyone's pointing to it being like, this is

the expect the Titans game. You

can't do that. You can't play it like that.
Everybody's on the Titans. I can't play it like that.
Everybody's on the Titans. You can't play it like that.
That's when it goes the opposite way. I'm going to ride this horse until it throws me off.
Either way, this is going to be a very fun game. I'm very excited for this game because this is like, you're getting tested this week, Max.
Jordan Davis back. Maybe.
Jordan Davis back in the motion. Are you sure about that? For probably like 15% of the snaps.
Yeah, but they're the best run defense in the league when he's in. What happens when Derrick Henry collides with Jordan Davis? I don't know.
Is that a riddle? No, it's like unstoppable force. How fast are they going? It's like I want to see that collision.
It's an electric train. There's no smoke.
By the way, the Vikings, rest of their schedule, Jets, At-Lions, Colts, Giants, Packers, Bears. They don't have a lot left.
So the Eagles have to win. You got to win, Max.
You got to keep winning. Let's go Jets.
Okay. Let's go Jets.
All right. So that's your favorite, the Eagles, PFT.
My favorite is the Lions. Lions minus one.

Are they underdogs?

No, they're minus one.

I think it's a half point.

They are plus one.

They are plus one.

Well, when I looked, they were...

You can't do the alternate line.

We've allowed that before.

Can I?

If it doesn't help you, like if it hurts you, right?

So, wait.

Yeah, sure.

Let me make sure that I'm not fucking this entire thing up.

They are plus one right now. They're at home.
they're hosting the jacksonville jaguars the jacksonville jaguars are road favorites in this game yes give me the lions minus three whoa give me the lions minus three ballsy this is ballsy yeah i'm a ballsy guy love it that's the official pick you said it. I'm putting them on the table right now.
I'll wax my balls if this doesn't hit. It's not going to happen.
Love that out of you. It's not going to happen.
Love that out of you. The Lions are going to destroy them.
This is a perfect situation for the Jaguars to go out there and just lay a huge egg. Why are we – we're so – we're convinced that the Jaguars are good now, or I guess Vegas is convinced that they're good because they beat the worst fourth quarter team in maybe the history of football in the fourth quarter last week? Listen, I.
Sounds like Vegas never smelled a football field and they can eat a dick. Eat a dick.
They, this is my next up bowl. Yeah.
Yeah, that's right. Whoever wins this game is next up.
I just say, I think the Lions are better on defense than they have been in the past. I agree.
And I think that the Jaguars are worse on defense than everybody thinks that they are. And it's also just like if the Jaguars win a game, bet against them the next game.
Yeah, exactly. That's a very simple strategy.
Yeah, the pendulum swings, and it's one game win, and then for the next two games you bet against the Jaguars. You would make a shitload of money if you had that as your strategy.
Also, Jameson Williams might be coming back this week. I think he's actually like a people forget that Jameson Williams is on the Lions.
Very fast. And he's so fast.
There was a screenshot. He got into like a foot race with some of the wide receivers and defensive backs on the Lions in practice.
And then it was like the Usain Bolt shot where he's like looking back, smiling at everybody because he's five yards ahead of him. This guy is really, really fast.
He's so fast. Real fast.
So, so fast. Okay.
My favorite, favorite. Hey, you're going to have to edit this on Sports Advisors because we did that on Monday morning and I was sick this week and my brain has been foggy, but I've come to.
And my revelation is this. The Kansas City Chiefs, double revenge.
Minus two. Double revenge spot.
This is similar to the Titans where it's like everyone wants to take the Bengals. And I love the Bengals.
I think the Bengals are really good. Double revenge means something.
The Chiefs are going for double revenge. Last year they lost in the regular season, then AFC Championship game.
I think this is the best the Chiefs are going to look all season is this weekend on Sunday. Can I switch my pick? I think you're right.
Double revenge. I tend to agree with you because the Chiefs, if they had to do it over again, this was the peak when they were playing against the Bengals last year in the playoffs.
It was the peak Chiefs getting too cute with it. Right.
At the end of the first half. And it was Eli Apple that made that tackle, right? Like, that's the very definition of a fluke play is Eli Apple making a game-saving tackle.
Right. And you saw earlier in the season the Bills go into Kansas City and get their revenge.
Now we get to see the Chiefs go into the bengals and get their revenge i actually kind of want i like i want the chiefs to win so we can clear all revenges and just go into the playoffs because i think the bengals are absolutely a live team in the in the uh afc playoffs i think this game will be close but the double revenge patrick mahomes under a field goal yeah so make sure that's changed, Hank, for advisors as well. Because I had like a come-to moment where I was like, oh, I like the Bengals.
I've been talking about the Bengals a lot. And we kind of forgot like, oh, yeah, the Chiefs.
The Chiefs kind of play with their food, but this is a game they will not take lightly and they will not like fuck around. Yeah, they're not in danger of getting too cute with it.
Right, because they're like, we want to win this game because they fucked us up last year. Last year, they were feeling themselves a little bit.
The only thing I don't like about the Chiefs this year is they don't even pretend to have a run game. Like, Pacheco, I don't think, he looks like Tyreek Hill.
That's cool. Yeah.
But Clyde Edwards-Glare, he has been, like, nowhere to be found this year. Yeah.
With the Andy Reid offense, you need at least to have, like, either the threat of a run game or a guy that will catch two screens a game and get, like, 60 yards receiving off those two screens. Yeah.
And they don't even really have that right now. No, they don't.
That's why I've got them, like, circled for my – the Chiefs might be falling into candy ass territory okay as we get into the playoffs this will be big i'm not i'm not ready to label them candy ass just yet um but i do i do actually like them this weekend yeah okay billy i like the 49ers by four that's my favorite minus four yep yeah so uh i everyone's talking about mike mcdaniel's homecoming and they're, I'm trying to figure out in my brain who knows more about whose offense and whose defense and being in each building. And then I'm just like, you know what? It's overcomplicated.
There is Christian McCaffrey and Debo Samuel on one side of the ball, and they're not on the other. So that's what I'm taking.
Well, Tua. Yeah, but I'm not sold on Tua.
Oh, really? Yeah. Sold on Sam Ellinger? Yeah, but Zach freaking Wilson is Patrick Mahomes.
I watch the language shame. By the way, everyone, like, it's his ceiling.
I said, like, his ceiling. What's your ceiling, Billy? My ceiling? Joe Rogan? No.
Big Cat. No, right.
Your ceiling, Joe Rogan. Liver King.
Liver King. But, like, ceilings are ce.
Like they're up there. Fact.
That is true. That's like the whole point.
Your ceiling is the roof. Your ceiling is Ben Shapiro.
Yeah. Oh, Jesus.
Come on. Okay.
So this game, Mike McDaniel, I love him, but he is bringing out the inner meatball in me. you guys seen uh the mic'd up stuff that like I hate that I I have the the reaction that I do where I'm like dude stop fucking around on the microphone like when you're playing a game like call the plays and and like be a football coach yeah I hate that I feel that because I actually like Mike McDaniel and I think that guys like that he's fun.
But I watched the video. If people didn't see it, he's, like, cracking jokes to Tua, like, during the game.
He's, like, yelling stuff. Like, trolling about Georgia being the best SEC team.
I'm like, take this seriously. Like, this is fucking football.
And it's stupid that I'm thinking this, but I have to just acknowledge my feelings. I think what happened was, leading into the season, we all had to take that if things go bad for the Dolphins, he's not the guy that's going to be able to turn things around if the locker room starts to turn.
He really stole that take from us by not even allowing the Dolphins to get bad at football. That was a fucked up thing that he did because I really wanted to have the take like this guy smokes too good weed to really be able to command a football team.
And I'm not able to do that because they're just really good and they've been good all season. I need like a three-game losing streak out of the Dolphins so I can be like, this guy is soft.
This guy is not a football coach. This guy is playing Madden.
Yes, agreed. Yeah, you're right.
They have not had the adversity. I guess Tua's concussion would be counting as adversity, but it does feel too easy for him.
The biggest adversity they've had is Mike McDaniel. He made Tua watch MacGruber on the plane ride back.
He's like, yeah, we cheesed the entire time. It was sick.
I don't know. Just take it seriously, dude.
It's football. That was all during warm-ups, though, those comments.
No. Doesn't matter.
That's when you should be getting ready to play football. The Georgia one was when when they were warming up but there was other ones that were in the middle of the game there's no time for jokes and warm ups again this is stupid this is a stupid thought that's in my head I actually disagree with myself I'm just acknowledging the fact that when I watch it there's a part of me that's like how could could you not take football seriously? I just think that Mike McDaniel, he knows probably 70% of what Kyle Shanahan knows.
Kyle Shanahan knows like 95% of what Mike McDaniel knows. And there might be, I don't know, like Mike McDaniel owes Kyle Shanahan a lot for rescuing his career, taking him with him to the different places that he went.
There's probably like a little bit of intimidation if you're going back to like coach against a guy like that. You know how sometimes you second guess yourself and then you second guess yourself so much that you're actually like triple guessing yourself and going back to the first thing you wanted to do? There's going to be a lot of that this weekend inside Mike McDaniel's head.
Yes, yes. I'm excited for this game.
This game is, imagine, like, before the season, no one would have thought this would be probably, this is Chiefs-Bengals, but Dolphins-49ers, holy shit, it's going to be awesome. I think that we like to watch the post-game handshakes and the pre-game handshakes between coaches that have a history together.
They're probably just going to hang out. They're going to go out for the pre-game handshake, start talking, and then like watch the game together on the side.
Yeah. And forget that.
You want to just do this. Yeah.
You want to do this in a shared spot in the end zone? Yeah. Let's just chill.
Yeah. All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars.
One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's. Only one Reese's peanut butter lovers protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter.
And only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's. Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's Protein Bar is made with Reese's Peanut Butter.
And only one Hershey's Cookies and Cream Protein Bars is made with Hershey's Cookie Bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar. One Bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

All right, your favorite favorite, Jake. LaHoo.
There we go, Jake. Washington Commanders.
Left hand up. Two and a half against the Giants.
The Giants. Did he just make that up? No, I've been doing that for a few weeks.
He's been saying LeHou. That's great.
The hashtag that I started doing was LHU, but Jake just went with LeHou. And, I mean, it worked.
Jake has not steered me wrong on it yet. Left hand up, Jake.
Yeah, LeHou. The Giants.
These two teams are just going in opposite directions. So two and a half.
Yeah. The Giants are the worst team in the league.
Our friend at Stat Hole Sports pointed this stat out. The worst team in the league if football games were three quarters long.
So the Ravens would be the best team in the league by a considerable margin. I think they'd be undefeated.
And Giants would be two, seven and two in the first three quarters. Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah, that is their MO. They've won games.
I can think of at least three or four games where it feels like they've been down the whole game and came back. Yeah.
Okay. This is the first like really sunny, bright, freezing cold day at the Meadowlands that will take us through the entire month of December.
These types of games scream to me always the road team and the under. Take the road team and the under when it's super bright outside and 40 degrees in New Jersey.
And this is the beginning of the – so they play two times in three weeks, and if either team can sweep the other team, it feels like they're safely in the playoffs. Yep.
So, like a game that we didn't expect would mean a lot. It's a home and home.
It's a home and home. Yeah, it's the East Coast Megalopolis Derby.
Yeah, there it is. Back and forth.
Train, back and forth. All right, Hank, your favorite underdog.
We just talked about this game, the Dolphins.

Plus four.

The Eagles and the Bengals are the favorite dogs everyone's going to be looking at this weekend,

but I feel like they're almost the kind of sucker picks because everyone's going to love them.

I like that.

The favorite underdogs.

Favorite underdogs.

Eagles and Bengals?

Titans and Bengals.

Titans and Bengals, yeah.

I agree with you. It does feel like there's too much smoke on those.
Yeah and Bengals? Titans and Bengals. No, Titans and Bengals.
Yeah. I agree with you.

It does feel like there's too much smoke on those.

Yeah.

Got to hit the Dolphins.

Okay.

Smoke the Dolphins.

Smoke the Dolphins.

Max.

What is our pick-em?

If a game's a pick-em, how does that work?

I think you can just decide if it's favorite or underdog.

You can use it for either or.

Yeah.

Okay.

I want... It's a strict pick-em.
Yeah. Raiders is a pick-em, right? No.
Raiders chargers? No. Raiders by a half.
Raiders are favored by a half. Correct.
Alright, fuck it. I'll go Colts.
Colts plus 11. Okay.
That's a 10 and a half. We were just driving down the road and you just pulled off.
You're like, yeah, fuck it. 10 and a half.
Well, I was... They're going against Cowboysboys.
So you were good with 10 and a half? Yeah, whatever. Max's picks are pretty simple.
It's Eagles and whoever's playing against the Cowboys. Yeah.
As true as could be. That game, this Colts, Michael Parsons might murder Matt Ryan.
Yeah. This is one of those ones that I wouldn't be, I think we probably should have someone like the ambulance ready and warmed up.
I'm looking at Matt Ryan's stat from last week where he, it was the latest first completed pass of the season. Yeah.
Seven minutes, five seconds left in the second quarter. Matt Ryan completed his very first pass of the day.
He might go the entire first half without completing a pass if Michael Parsons has his way. Yes.
This is going to be bad. This is going to be bad.
But 10 and a half, listen, they get paid too, right? It's a lot of points. These guys are professional football players, Big Cat, and 11 points is insulting.
All right. Also, Jeff Saturday is going to be wearing cleats for this game, which I fucking love that.
He's doing my cause, my cleats. Oh, nice.
Jeff Saturday rocking cleats. So, Max, I actually love this pick.
Yeah, I'm way in now. Mike McCarthy is not going to be.
There's not a pair of cleats in the world that's been molded to be strong enough to support Mike McCarthy's lateral movement on the sidelines. Jeff Saturday and cleats, I'm taking that all day.
He would just step into them, and it would look like Zion Williamson's shit. It would just fucking explode everywhere.
That fat putty of his feet. Ugh.
All right. What's your underdog? I love this underdog.
I love it. Texans.
I knew you were going to say that. I knew you were going to say that.
Texans plus seven. Deshaun Watson's coming back.
He is playing his first game of football since January 3rdrd 2021 that's essentially two years yeah in between football games that's a long time it's also right on the end of no note november probably have a lot of weird emotions going on his head but i think that the texans it's a it's a big revenge game for the entire franchise against him because when he left he basically committed them to them to hell. Yes.
He was like, I'm going to go. I'm asking for a trade, fully aware of the fact that you all will be staying in hell for at least two years and have like two years of your lives.
Yeah. Will be essentially erased.
He basically, well, I was just thinking about it. I was like, all right, so he left them in hell, but then he went to Cleveland.
Yeah. But it's not the Texans.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Purgatory.
He's in Purgatory. But everybody knew that when he was in Houston that he was their team.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so by him choosing to leave, he did so understanding that the rest of the team would just be committed to really playing football in a hell-type situation.

I'm just pointing out the idea.

I agree with you.

It's just funny to be like, DeSean Watson being like,

welcome to hell, I'm out of here,

and then he gets off his flight and it's Cleveland.

Yeah.

You may all go to hell, I will go to Cleveland.

Yes, yes. I would take playing for the Browns.

They've got a decent roster.

I do think that there is something to be said for catching a new ball. Yeah.
It's going to take some getting history for their wide receivers. I can't bet on the Texans just because I've watched them play and they're so, so bad.
But if there's a time to bet on the Texans, it's when you're playing against a quarterback who has not taken a live snap in a year and a half to two years. Yeah.
Two years. Yeah.
It's a long time. It's a long time to not play football.
Yes. Also, 10 of his accusers are going to be at the game.
Yes. It's going to it's going to double the attendance.
I feel like that. Yeah.
I don't I don't think Deshaun Watson really. I think that's going to weigh heavy on him.
He doesn't seem like a remorseful type of guy. Yeah.
Are they going to have good seats? I hope they're right by the play clock. I still think that the vibe he gives off, I don't think he feels bad.
Probably not. Hypothetically, Deshaun Watson comes back.
Let's say he throws like five touchdowns in every single game that he plays this year, and the Cleveland Browns don't lose a game. Does Roger Goodell give him comeback player of the year? He'll win it next year, probably.
Come tummy player of the year. Come belly button of the year.
That's definitely got to go to Geno, right? no matter how good Deshaun Watson plays. Yes.

Okay, they had that game.

They're going to hide that game.

Yeah.

They've hidden it very well.

So, my underdog, I'm going with the Jets, Billy.

Going with the Jets.

Plus three.

I like it.

I think their defense, I'm so in on the Jets defense.

Offense, who gives a fuck? Figure it out a little bit. But a good defense against Kirk Cousins, give me the Jets' defense.
Offense, who gives a fuck?

Figure it out a little bit.

But a good defense against Kirk Cousins, give me the Jets plus three.

I'm not touching the Jets this week.

Okay.

I'm going Titans plus five.

It's a little vanilla.

Four and a half.

Four and a half?

Okay.

Like it even more.

Four and a half.

Yeah.

It's a chalk pick, but it's right there.

And percentage-wise, it's been doing well this year. It's a favorite underdog.
Yeah. It's your favorite underdog.
All right. Jake.
I'm also on the Dolphins plus four. I mentioned it before.
They are still undefeated when Tua Tungabalala plays quarterback healthy. And even if they lose this game, it'll be by a field goal.
So we'll be good. Okay.
Okay. Is that a guarantee? We'll see.
Okay. Yeah.
Wait, Hank, before you do your favorite over Barstool Bites, everyone check it out. Our great Pardon My Cheese Steak, Pardon My Cheese Steak's delivery and pickup-only restaurant brand bringing you craveable cheese steaks and loaded fries.

Over 39 and a half.

That's pretty disgusting. You know the Broncos, they've had one over game this entire year.
Yep. Do you know, here's a fun stat for you.
The Denver Broncos have scored 14 offensive touchdowns this year. That actually seems like a lot.
That's not a lot. I know,

but when you say 14, like that's

it's week 13. Yeah, but that seems like

more than I thought that they would. There are

18 quarterbacks who have more

touchdowns or who have 14

or more touchdowns and the

19th quarterback Justin Fields

has 20 total 13 passing

seven running. There are

they are such a bad offense

and Russell Wilson has lost locker. And

you guys aren't accounting for the Thank you. has 20 total, 13 passing, 7 running.
They are such a bad offense.

And Russell Wilson has lost the locker room.

And you guys aren't accounting for the birthday party.

He had a lot of people come to his birthday party.

Nathaniel Hackett, Bolton Board material.

We should talk about the birthday party thing

because there's a lot of discourse regarding it.

Some people are saying like 50% of the team

only showed up to his birthday party, not a good leader.

That means probably like 35 people showed up to a 34-year-old's birthday party. That's a good thing.
That's a shame. That's way too many people to show up.
Like if I threw a birthday party, absolutely not. I would not invite 35 people to my birthday party.
I think that's a great job. Russell Wilson is doing a tremendous job holding the locker room together if he got that many people to show up.
Agreed. So you're in on him.
I'm all in. Over.
Well, this isn't a bad on Russell Wilson. I think they're going to win the game, too.
Really? Yeah. They can't score.
So far. It's week 13.
Nathaniel Hackett, you don't think he didn't hear what you said about him? You don't think that's going to fire him up? He might have. I hope it does.
Listen, if Nathaniel Hackett wins, I'll take all the credit. Nathaniel Hackett said right now he's not considering a quarterback change.
He also... Which is, I mean, Nathaniel Hackett, that's as close as you can come to saying that you are.
Yeah, I'm also... Because most coaches just say, no, we're not.
Or, like, that's a dumb question. question why are you asking me that but for him to say right now i don't know maybe maybe that'll light a fire on russell wilson my uh nathanao hackett i do feel happy i'm happy for him that the story has come out that he hasn't lost the locker room that russell wilson has because it does feel like he's in an impossible situation that if rus Wilson was just playing maybe even a little bit better, they would be like in a better spot.

Yeah, but he's been playing so bad for the entire season.

Like, what is he supposed to do?

Yeah, so I he's lost locker room.

That's a fact.

Half the people didn't show up for his birthday.

If I was a backup receiver on that team, you I would absolutely show up.

They missed all their opportunities.

There's a fact. Half the people didn't show up for his birthday.
If I was a backup receiver on that team, I would absolutely show up. Of course you would.

They missed all their opportunities.

There's a lot of guys who didn't show up to his birthday.

On a Tuesday, you could show up.

You could show up.

35 people on a Tuesday to a birthday party.

Those are solid numbers.

Stay off.

All right.

Go ahead, Max.

Your favorite over.

Falcon Steelers over. I don't know what the number is, but over.
42. Okay.
That's some good analysis. What's your logic behind that, Max? Kenny Pickett is good.
Yes. Whoa.
Henry, what were you just doing? Nothing. When he said Kenny Pickett is good, you were shaking your head like this.
Was there something else that I'm not aware of that was going on? No, Kenny Pickett's a good guy. Whoa.
Yeah? What about he's also a football player? He's a rookie. He's a good football player.
I've seen some flashes. I would rather have Kenny Pickett than Mac Jones.
I'll tell you that much right now. I strongly disagree with that.

He's a rookie.

Brady's going back to New England.

Yeah.

Oh, great.

You're so delusional.

He is?

He is?

Yeah, Hank, he's definitely going to come back. There's rumors of it.

Yeah, you don't think the reason they left is because of Giselle?

No, you're right.

You're right, Hank.

Oh, okay.

He's definitely coming home to you.

He missed you the entire time.

I mean, who likes that?

When there's a New England.

It's like, honey, we've got to go to Florida. We've got to go to Florida.
We've got to go to Florida. And then it's like, all right, we'll go to you.
He missed you the entire time. I mean, who likes that? Winners in New England.

It's like, honey, we got to go to Florida.

We got to go to Florida.

We got to go to Florida.

And then it's like, all right, we'll go to Florida.

Things fall apart.

Must be nice playing with Bill again.

I talked about it a couple weeks ago.

You saw the things they were saying about each other in the media. I mean, they were basically like.

Yeah, no, Hank, he was thinking about you the entire time

that he was playing for the Buccaneers.

He was like, man, I wish these were Patriots fans.

I think it's more Bill Belichick than me, but I appreciate the notion.

He probably called Bruce Arians Bill a few times.

Definitely.

Yeah.

Like in the throes of passion.

High five me after a big touchdown.

Let's go, Bill.

Oh, I mean, I mean, Bruce.

Sorry.

My bad.

Love you, Bill.

No, Kenny Packett's solid.

But I need to see more.

I need to see more.

Okay.

All right.

So Hank needs to see more.

That's fair.

You can always ask for more. Okay.
PFT need to see more. I need to see more.
Okay. Alright, so Hank needs to see more.
That's fair. You can always ask for more.

Okay.

PFT, your favorite over.

My favorite over, in this

case, I'm going to double

dip on an over.

I'm going to go

to the Lions-Jaguars again. It's a big over,

right, Jake? Yeah, it's 51

and a half. Yeah, I'm just doing

this for fun. I'm like testing myself on this one.
I saw one. When I saw that number, I was like, there's no chance that they hit that.
And then I was like, well, quit doubting yourself and put your ball sack on the line for it. Yeah.
Okay. My over.
I'm going to go over 43 Packers Bears. I don't know if Justin Fields is playing.
I hope he does. If he does that's a great line uh because it will surely go up aaron rogers seems like he's definitely playing and he's being a real dick about everything because uh he was asked if he would sit you know for jordan love he's basically like no uh so he's gonna play he's probably gonna skull fuck me i might as well make some money off it if they score like aaron rogers probably throw five touchdowns yeah and i'm telling you like this is it could be a good thing if justin fields plays i it could be a great thing wait no i i i agree i want him to play yeah i know i'm saying like the the opportunity for justin fields to beat the package yes that's all i want would be so good for your personal morale yes that's all i want all i want i don't I don't want to watch Trevor Simeon play this game.
And then I think Aaron Rodgers, he's due something like $50 million next year. So he's going to come back.
People are saying, oh, is he going to leave the Packers? Because he's acting like, oh, nothing's going to change next year. I'm going to be surly.
He's got $50 million waiting for him if he comes back. So he'll be back.
Yeah. Okay, Billy.
You know what? I'm making a big change. Last week I did an impulsive change to my over and underdog being the Jets in the Jets game.
I'm going to do the exact same thing again, if that's okay. Okay.
I want to switch my underdog to Jets plus three, and I also want my over to be Jets-Vikings over 44.5. Okay.
They served me right last week. Those were my two wins last wins last week.
I got to stick with what's winning. And that's Mike White.
That's a record for Billy. Billy swore off betting on the Jets for 12 minutes.
Yeah. Well, last time it was 30 seconds.
That's true. You're getting there.
We're getting there. But it won.
So that's what we're going with. It's going to be points in that dome.
U.S. Bank Stadium is going to be a freaking points house.
Points house? A freaking points house, boy. I even take Elijah Moore over on everything because he's getting the ball.
Mike White is good friends with Elijah Moore. Yeah, he's going to feed.
That's like a South Florida connection, I think. So keep feeding that.
Okay. Jake, your favorite over.
That game is Tom Brady versus Kirk Cousins non-prime time. Yeah.
Because Tom Brady is. Yeah, that's true.
That's true. That's going to be a lot of points.
Yes. That's going to be a lot of points.
And if Tom Brady gets hurt, Patrick Mahomes will come in. Right.
So. It's great.
Yeah. I'm going with the Chargers Raiders over 50 and a half.
Seems like the Raiders just put up points, win or lose. And the Chargers, I don't even know if they're fully healthy yet, but they've been banged up.
They've still been scoring, too. Good rule of thumb is the Chargers are never fully healthy.
Not even week one. I bet you if we looked at which teams have the most devastating injuries to defensive players in the preseason, it's definitely the Chargers.
Without a doubt. Also, the Raiders have finally gotten to, like, this is fun now.
They're bad, but in a fun way. Because, like, they do score points.
They're winning overtime games with walk-offs. Derek Carr is Mr.
Overtime. Yeah, they're fun.
They're fun. Okay, Hank, finish us off.
Unders. My under is the Browns-Texans under 47.
Sean Watson first game back. Probably not going to look as good as he did in his prime or a couple years ago.
It's going to take him a little time to get warmed up. A little bit slow offense.
Texans are terrible. Under 47.
I like that. I like that.
Okay. Max? We talked about it a lot.
Jets, Vikings. Jets defense is good.
Yep. Okay.
Good call. Okay.
I got the under in Commies Giants. Same.
I think it's

40 and a half. It's a low under.

But yeah, I think that this

is good for the Washington Commanders

defense. The Giants don't score a whole lot

of points anyways. The under

in the Commanders games are 8-1 to the

under since week 3. Yeah.
And Giants

home unders are 16-2

in the last 18. I've learned my

lesson because I've been betting a lot on Commies

overs. Just because Taylor Heineke's fun.

Fun, yeah. You think he's fun, but fun doesn't always translate into an over.
Yeah. Yeah.
Also, Taylor Heineke, I think that this matchup works out pretty well for him because he does pretty good against the Blitz, and that's all the Giants do. They just blitz.
Yeah. They're a Blitz house.
Yes. Go ahead, Billy.
Chargers, Raiders, 50 and a half.

Okay.

Under 50 and a half.

Jake.

I'm going with Jaguars lines under 51 and a half.

To PFT's point earlier, those two teams seeing 51 and a half is just not real life.

Bad defenses.

Very bad defenses.

Yeah.

All right.

I think we hit every game. Seahawks, Rams.
Yeah. I don't know.
Like, I think maybe you have to take Bryce Perkins. Is Bryce playing again? Bryce, I think I've hit my quota for Bryce Perkins.
Yeah. Yeah, it was a tough watch.
We bet him to score a touchdown. We really tuned in.
Yeah. We watched a lot.
We really intently watched Bryce Perkins. I'd actually say this podcast is the most.
We know the most about Bryce Perkins and how he operates in the Rams offense. That might be a little unfair of us to be so harshly critical on Bryce Perkins.
Because he didn't score a touchdown. But he also didn't look good.
No. Would he have like 40 yards passing? He looked good on that one drive.
Yeah, there was one decent drive. But I would love to not have to watch this game.
Yeah, yeah, I agree. All right, so yeah, that's all the games.
Should we do some fantasy primals? PFT, you got a – oh, we'll do our rush more as well. PFT's going to do an ad, and we'll do the Rushmore as well.
Yeah, before we get into Fantasy Primals, it's brought to you by Chevy. Playoff pictures are starting to emerge, but one team has already won it all.
That team is Chevy, and it's star player of the Silverado. It's a truck with unstoppable grit and determination.
According to J.D. Power, Chevy trucks have earned more new vehicle quality awards than any other brand.
That's some serious hardware. Head over to Chevy.com.
You can learn more there. Silverado, as strong and dependable as the people who drive them.
For J.D. Power 2022 U.S.
award information, visit JDPower.com slash awards. Also, go to your local Chevy dealership.
Take it for a test drive. It is a beast of a truck.
You're going to love the all-new Chevy Silverado and whisper into the salesperson's ear, pardon my take, sent me. And they're going to give you a full tank of gas, $100 off probably, a cup of coffee and send you on your way and the best truck you've ever driven in your entire life.
That is the all-new Chevy Silverado. All right, let's do Fantasy Primal.
I'm going to save my voice. I'm being very mature about it.
Jake's going to do it for me. I'm sending him to you right now.
Hank, you want to start? Yeah. Yeah.
What's up, Primal? What's up, Primal? This is kind of like Fantasy Fuckboys, but... Are you a Primal? I'm not really a Primal.

That's what I took. What's up, primals? What's up? It's King Primal.
Hey, King Primal. My stardom is co-hosts banging each other.
Oh, yeah. If you're looking for ratings, co-hosts, you start banging each other.
Turns out that's what's doing a good morning, America. Primal.
Okay. Start banging.
Yeah. It's the morning show.
Listen, I'm down. And really? Top or bottom? I'm 100% down if we get 5% more Spotify end of year wrap ups.
They're banging. PFT and Big Cat are banging.
Just saying. Primal.
My sit-up. Sperm counts.
Sperm counts are down. What do you think a sex tape would go for? Me and Big Cat fucking each other.
I don't think so. I don it would go great.
There's definitely a market for that. Primal.
Capitalism. Yeah, Hank's nodding his head.
I think it would go better if it was us fucking some chicks. Like a four-way.
Four-way. London Bridge.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Let's, yeah.
My sit-up sperm count. We'll get on that.
Yeah. They're down.
They're down. We need to get him up What if it was us fucking Billy Oh In the face It felt like Billy doesn't like it Send support My sleeper Liver queen His wife is probably also on steroids Looking into it Would you? Oh wow Oh you're looking into it Look into it That should it.
That should be a hard investigation to crack.

What?

The whole thing is ridiculous.

Liver King.

Has he commented on it?

No, he's in Mongolia hunting yaks.

Oh, that's convenient.

Yeah, and it's actually he's just tweeting through it all.

It's hilarious.

That's probably the strategy.

Just pretend it didn't happen. And he's like hanging out with Eagles.

Actually, let me check what he did last.

Hank, where is this Brady rumor coming from?

That was my other question.

I saw like a Jeff Howell report.

Yeah, athletic.

Really?

And fanfic special.

Oh, so you're saying it's fanfiction.

No, it was.

I saw it from fanfiction and I was like, all right, this is fanfiction.

And then Jeff Howell wrote about it, which that's valid in my eyes he said it would make sense he could see it happening that would suck for Mac Jones it's not actually based on anything it's just saying that it would make sense if it were to happen and then in your head this is everything you've ever wanted and so it's confirmation bias where you're like the Pats are going have like 50 million in cap space, so they're going to have room to kind of do what they want to do, and if Brady wants to come back, that's really all it is. Basically, they have the cap space to do it if they want to, which I'm sure they would, and I'm sure Tom wants to come back.
What if Tom wants to come back, but much like he did with Bruce Arians, he says, I'll only come back if Belichick's gone. I don't think that would happen.
What would you say, though? I would say, sorry, Tom, but. Are you choosing Bill over Tom? Yes.
Okay. Okay.
All right. Well, let's.
I mean, it'd be unbelievable. Let's do our Mount Rushmore.
I mean, yeah, you're already happy. You're seeing your smile right now.
It's not going to happen, though. Yeah.
Yeah. All right.
Why? I just need you to be realistic about this. Like, you're getting all worked up.

I think the divorce thing plays all into it.

Like, I really do think it's crazy to say, but, like, warm weather.

I don't want to see my little Hank get his heartbroken again.

It's like, yeah, we got to go to Florida.

I'm sick of winners in New England.

I can't have you go through this, Hank.

Now, once you're single and you just want to grind out in the winter.

Hank, you're being delusional, Hank.

He's just not that into you.

Everyone thinks their divorced parents will get back during the holidays.

Oh! Billy, love it. All right.
It's true. What's your Mount Rushmore pick? I'll go with David Montgomery.
I'm going to go with McCaffrey. I want to go Saquon, but that loss last time.
Okay. Christian McCaffrey.
We got to win one, guys. I'm going to go Kenneth Walker.
Okay. Like it.
We forgot to talk about something. A Dillon baby game.
Oh, yeah. Should we put him in or is that too risky? That's a touchdown.
No, no, no. But he's been playing really well recently, right? But is he getting 50? I mean, the Bears.
No, no. I'm saying we'll put him on the PMT baby bump bet.
Yeah, yeah. And we'll yeah.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, let's just keep that separate. Keep it separate.
Yeah, yeah. Keep it separate.
He didn't have a baby. Oh, they're having a baby.
That's true. Totally different.
Oh, wait. Yeah, take it out.
Totally different. Take it out.
Totally different. Out, out, out.
That just means that he had sex. He came like two weeks ago.
Yeah. Congratulations.
So who's your pick? Is Mixon playing? Yes, I think he might be.

You could also go Jonathan Taylor, Nick Chubb.

All right, we'll go Chubb.

Nick Chubb is guaranteed.

Yeah, they're going to hand it off a lot because they're going to ease him into the offense.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Let's get to our interview with Jerry O'Connell.

Before we do that, PFT, you got a quick word for one of our sponsors.

Jerry O'Connell

in He's just getting some lifts in right now. If you're watching on the YouTube, you can see him.
It's our fantasy guru, Jerry O'Connell,

in to give us an update on our team and also a little pump.

Just want to let Billy know, got some plates on here.

Actual plates.

We don't do tens. We don't even touch 35s We don't touch 25s There we go This is great And for those of you listening at home Jerry is He's got 135 pounds on the bar there And he's doing incline press So not even a flat bench slight incline.
I already started with the standard 45 degree. Yeah.
Now I'm like at like a 30 degree. I just like to hit every angle of the chest.
Like the lower chest. Yeah, we're working the upper chest and the middle chest.
You can see it. You can see it.
All right. Now, wait, wait, wait.
Real quick, Jerry, I don't know if you saw the news, but other recurring guests, a part of my take, Liver King, has been in the news recently. It looks like you're on that Liver King diet.
Would you like to comment about your PED usage? Well, yeah. I mean, I live my life by the seven tenants.
Tenants? Tenants. Tenants.
Tenants. Tenants.
Tenants. Tenants.
Like you have tenants. Yeah, yeah, right.
You know. Your landlord.
I sleep. I sleep.
I eat. I move.
I move. I list drugs around.
I move them around the country. You have to shield.
You have to shield yourself from accusers that accuse you of using PEDs. You have to connect.
You connect. You connect with your dealers all over the country.
There's a connection. There's like a triangle connection.
Cold. You got to keep PEDs cold.
You got to put them in the fridge. A second you get them.
You take them out of the ice packs. The sun.
You keep your PEDs out of the sun because it ruins PEDs.

Then you waste your money.

You got to fight.

You fight.

Rough and Rowdy.

Jose Canseco.

Billy Wong.

You fight.

And you bond.

You bond with your dealers.

Seven tenants.

Tenants.

Yeah.

I love it.

As our ancestors once did.

Yeah. That was tough news.

I really felt.

Yeah.

I really felt for Billy.

It's so funny. I didn't really know who the liver king was until you interviewed him.
And it's it's pretty fascinating. I have to admit that YouTube channel is pretty fascinating.
And since listening to your interview, I have I have eaten a little bit of bone marrow. I'm not going to kid you.
I'm not mad at it either. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, we can see it.
We can see the results right there. And you're all natural.
You're as all natural as against. All right, so Jerry, it's great to see you.
It's long overdue. We need to catch up.
We need to talk some fantasy. We need to see what's going on in your life.
I'm just going to let you take it away because you are one of those guests where you're the best. So just take it away.
Whatever direction you want to go, you go. Thank you.
Thank you, Scratchy Cat. Thank you so much.
Yep. Thank you.
Thank you. What can I say? The show's been great.
I'm going to really try not to say, um, in this interview, last time I was on your show, uh, some asshole AWL counted the amount of times I said, um, and tweeted at me. And it really fucked me up, man.
It really, it's something I think about about twice a day so i'm gonna really try not to say um in this interview okay fuck you awl twitter person uh let's just uh i've had a pretty okay fantasy season i think our team is in fourth place in that league it's playoffs i i I have to tell you, I know there are celebrities in that league.

I have no idea who I'm going up against.

That was not an um, that was an ah.

I have no idea who I'm going up against in that league.

But we're doing okay.

We had a few setbacks in our league.

Brees Hall, of course, went out.

Javanta Williams went out.

And it turns out Melvin Gordon was not the best handcuff.

Yeah.

That was a bummer. I sort of

invested a little heavily. I mean,

this is going to sound a little crypto-ish, a little

heavily in the Denver Broncos

earlier this season. And it turns out

that that

was a mistake. Yeah, I agree.
I

actually, I was highly leveraged in the

Broncos space as well. Yeah.
I was

thinking the moon and it just

I'm going to go, and it just crashed beyond my wildest dreams. You know, I don't know what happened there.
I'm not going to say I was a Russell Wilson fan before this season, but I knew him, and I knew he scored points, especially in fantasy. And this year he has completely shit the bed.
And I want to say something else because it all comes back to PMT. If you ever get an HC on there that starts cracking Star Wars jokes, never pick up any of those players.
Yeah. Ever.
Yeah. That's a live and learn situation for us.
That fucking guy should stop talking about Star Wars and cracking jokes about Tatooine and shit and start concentrating on goal line offense. Just that.
Just goal line offense. That's all we're talking about.
Yeah, well, it's a good lesson to learn that you don't want your head coaches to have any outside interests at all besides football.

You want them to just only think about football.

Let's take a coach like my cousin, Kevin O'Connell,

who came on your podcast and did not crack one joke.

The closest he came to a joke was saying,

I can beat Coach McVay in a race. Serious guy.
Very serious guy. It makes him a good football coach.
Fuck, yeah. By the way, that was so funny.
Big Cat, when you had Jake reading your highly offensive questions, that really made me laugh. Just when you think we've seen all the levels of PMT, you just add another one.
The only thing I regret about that is we didn't explain it for the people who listen just as a podcast because we tweeted a clip and everyone was like, I didn't realize Big Cat was sitting right behind Jake because it was, the visual was funny. It also works works because the Vikings we just keep trashing them and then keep having like yeah their uh players and coaches on yeah we got to get like Justin Jefferson on yeah we've we've really fucked up with fucked Vikings fans in the heads this year because like they have to listen when we have their coach on or their quarterback but we also just yeah may I ask what is your issue with the Vikings the Vikings? I don't even mind the Vikings, really.
It's just that I don't necessarily believe in them, and I've got a long-standing internal beef with Kirk Cousins. Some of that is self-loathing because, yes, there's a big part of me that somewhat wishes that he hadn't left the Washington Redskins because until Taylor Heineke, he was the best quarterback that we've had.

Oh, Jerry.

We might have bad Wi-Fi connection in that gym.

Do we lose you?

Are you in Planet Fitness?

Do we lose you?

Oh, you're back.

You're back.

No.

Oh.

Yeah, I'm actually there.

Sorry.

Hey, just hold on a second.

Hey, bro.

Can you stop?

Are you streaming something? Can you stop that? I'm just doing PMT. Thanks, bro.
Thanks. All right, so he's back.
Some dude is like streaming like Ozark over there. He's like on the elliptical.
Thank you, bro. Do you ever get mistaken for what's his name from Oz? Jason Sudeikis? No.
No, Patrick Bateman, right? Jason Bateman, yes. Jason Bateman.
Yes, I do. I'd say I get recognized as Jason Bateman more than I get recognized as myself.
And it actually comes back to sports. I was at a Dodger game a number of years ago, and I was with my friend, who's a huge Dodgers fan, who drinks a lot at Dodgers games.
And Jason Bateman was sitting about 10 rows in front of us. And my friend, the drunkard he got kept referring to Jason Bateman as my nemesis and saying, there's your nemesis, let's do something.
We have to do something. And I said, please don't do that.
He's quite powerful in the industry and I am not. And if you were to do something, it would negatively affect my career.
And Jason Bateman got up and was walking up the aisle. And I was very worried that my friend was going to say something or do something he's an aggressive person and Jason Bateman walked past and we sort of made eye contact and I didn't say anything and I gave him a nod uh because I try to be hard especially at Dodger Stadium and Jason Bateman walked past and my buddy was like you should have said something and then Jason Bateman came and squatted next to me in the aisle to duck down so that people could watch the game.
And he went, hey, you're you're Jerry O'Connell, right? And I went, yeah. And he went, I am Jason Bateman.
It's nice to meet you. He said, do anyone does anyone ever say you look like me? Because I because people come up to me all the time and say, are you Jerry O'Connell? And I was like really touched.
And my drunk aggressive friend put his hand in his face and went, nah, nah, nah, it doesn't happen. It doesn't happen.
It doesn't happen. Move on.
Move on. So I think Jason Bateman is like sort of like thinks I was very aggressive to him at a Dodger game.
And I do want to take this opportunity to apologize to him. My friend has done a number of rehabs since then.
And he actually just relapsed. But he is doing better.
Okay. So Jason Bateman is an AWL.
He is. Confirmed.
Is he an AWL? Yeah, confirmed. Yeah.
Wow. Okay.
Wow. I didn't realize.
I thought this was sort of like my area. No, he listens.
He runs our higher stakes fantasy football team. Yeah, the real one.
It's so rude. All right, let's get into some fantasy because while I do love your show, you guys tend to talk more about the gambling side of the NFL and less about the fantasy side.

So I'm going to help some of your listeners with some things I've picked up this fantasy football season. Okay, great.
Let's go. Let's let's start with divisions.
Let's start with the AFC East, which is super exciting. Dolphins receivers, you can pick up any Dolphins receivers, especially Waddle, who we have on our Celebrity Fantasy Football League, and Tua, but absolutely no one else.
No one else. Only Dolphins receivers.
Sort of an exciting team to watch. They are leading in that division.
Bill's defense has been golden. It's just so so much fun so many points their receivers and I'm so sorry but no one else I we we we sort of um we were relying on Dawson Knox in our league and he um he's really disappointed yeah um I'm amazed that tight ends in Buffalo are not scoring more points for us.
I thought we were getting a bargain there. I have him as well in a couple leagues.
It hurts. I expect a lot more out of him.
The Jets are back. Yes.
Anyone on the Jets. I said we had Brees Hall on our team.
I could not pick up Carter. Someone snatched him away from us, so I didn't have any handcuffs there.
I love me some handcuffs. Their defense, I play them in our league almost every week.
I cannot wait to see the game this weekend. It's going to be really – for both teams, it's sort of the Jets and the Vikings.
It's sort of the most important game for both of them all season long. I got a question for you as Jets fan.
Billy said that Zach Wilson's ceiling is Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes.
I listened to the article. I listened to the show.
I think Billy is not right. I think Billy is not right.

I think he is completely incorrect.

I love it.

I love that that was a quotable point.

But, you know, I tend to agree.

I forget who said it there.

It's funny.

I was looking at a photo because all the articles right now are about are sort of like Zach Wilson sort of standing on the sidelines of practice.

Thank you. It's funny, I was looking at a photo because all the articles right now are about, are sort of like Zach Wilson sort of standing on the sidelines of practice.
And whoever said it, he is too hot to be a starting QB. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's got to play tougher if he's going to be that hot. He looks like he has an Instagram filter on at all times.
He's very boyish. He's so hot.
He actually, you know, I am an actor here in Los Angeles. We go to the gym a lot.
We work on our fitness. Chest and thighs.
Chest and thighs. And he looks like a CW actor that I audition with all the time.
He looks like a guy that I see at auditions. And I'm i'm like who is this dude like someone who just came from like a small town and it's like gonna try and hit it big in la right before they like start the deep this the steep decline of addiction and like everything is not gonna go their way and then before you know it they're hooking and then you see them on see them on Hollywood Boulevard and they're selling their bodies, you know.

Yeah. He looks like he's like he's right there.
He looks like he's at the edge of the cliff. He looks like he just got off the bus in Hollywood and he thinks he's going to make it as an actor.
And within weeks, he'll be hustling. Yeah.
His dreams are about to get shattered. He does look like a boyfriend From Gilmore Girls That broke up with one of the chicks Because she wasn't rich enough And he's going off to law school or something He does have that CW vibe to him That's a good description for him Yeah he just does And he's not doing it And he's a disaster And Mike White might be the future he might be the future yeah i can't wait for this sunday it's gonna be a great game it's gonna be a great game i actually um i think i picked um oh god what was the spread i had it here oh the spread currently is uh vikings giving three and i think i'm gonna i think i'm gonna take Vikings there.
Oh, yeah. I like the Jets.
Mike White back-to-back weeks is tough because he'll have some of those magic weeks like he had last Sunday where, oh, yeah, it's the Mike White game. And then you get real high on Mike White.
He's like a bubble. He's like GameStop.
If we're going to talk about Russell Wilson being crypto, Mike White is like, I always invest in Mike White too late after the market has already topped off. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Well, the only thing I'm worried about was that four pick game last season. It's like, you know, that's there somewhere.
You know what I'm saying? You know, it's almost like herpes. You know, it's like, you know, if you stay in the sun too long, I'm actually not even joking.
If you stay in the sun or you get stressed, you know you're going to get a breakout, you know, and then you have to tell everyone it's just a cold sore. Yeah.
And, you know, and then you have to, like, call your doctor and say just put in the prescription, and then your doctor is like you have to come in, and you're like, I can't come in. I feel the tingle on my lip.
Please just call in the prescription. And then your doctor's like, you have to come in.
And you're like, I can't come in.

I feel the tingle on my lip.

Please just call in the prescription.

And it's like, you know, there's a four pick game coming up with Mike White.

We just hope it's not the weekend you're betting the Jets.

Yeah, right.

It's a time of game.

Yes.

Okay.

All right.

Let's keep moving on.

The Patriots.

I'm so sorry, Hank.

Ramondre and no one else, no one else have a lot of issues with that team this year.

AFC North, the Ravens, obviously Mark Andrews, but everyone else are just,

they're just capping too much on this app,

and the motherfucker never smelt the football field. They never did shit, but he's sick.
I mean, just I'm sorry. The Bengals, anyone.
I'm really high on the Bengals. You said it on your podcast as well.
They're going to make a run. The Browns, get ready for this.
Everyone. And I don't care if I get canceled for saying this, even this weekend.
Everyone. I know.
I feel like I'm at a few leagues. He's been sitting on my bench.
I feel like I'm starting Harvey Weinstein. I'm going to get in trouble, obviously, because one of the leagues is my work league and HR is omnipresent.
And I'm starting him. I'm starting Harvey Weinstein.
Wow. Listen, it's about the score at the end of the day, right?

Points are points.

By the way, they could make a run with that team right now. We have no idea.

No.

No.

Come on, guys.

They have a ground game.

They have a ground game.

They have receivers.

They have a defense.

The one missing piece was Harvey Weinstein. He's coming in.
All right. all right you know what i fuck it yeah they can make a run why not he is harvey weinstein is an exciting player he is um uh the stealers no one i don't give a shit how big kenny pickett's hands are i don't care how big his dick is he no i'm no one on on the Steelers.
No one. That Monday night game was atrocious.

AFC South, the Titans, anyone on the Titans, anyone.

Really?

Traylon Burks is amazing.

I know, you know, according to the computers that I'm on,

he's ranked like 50th this weekend,

but I think he's good for 15 points a weekend.

Absolutely no one on the Colts. The Jags, you know I love me some Jaguars, guys, and I was a little sour on them.
I'm back on the Jags train. I love them.
So everybody, like we're talking Etienne. Everyone.
I love Etienne. You got to – yeah, I love me a handcuff.
I love handcuffs. 1-800-NO-CUPS.
But you've got to handcuff him with Hasty, Jermichael Hasty. I think his foot injury is worse than they're letting on to be.
And I'm starting Etienne this weekend, not in our league. By the way, you're welcome for picking up Ken Walker in our league and keeping him there.
I think I told you that Rashad Penny was going to go bye-bye about four weeks in, and he has single-handedly kept us in the top five of that league. That's a huge pick-up.
Yeah, Jerry, just real quick, you mentioned that we were four in the league earlier and you just said top five. I don't have any reason to doubt what you're saying, but it seems like you would have said top four if we were actually number four.
We've been bouncing from fourth to pip there. I actually didn't check the standings.
I didn't want to. This is being recorded and everything.
I didn't want to seem like I was throwing out some fake news out there or anything.

Are we in any danger of missing the playoffs?

I don't think so.

I don't believe so.

I believe we're going to make the playoffs.

And then it's anyone's game.

And then it's anyone's game.

It's like being in the top 16 of the World Cup.

Do we have Harvey Weinstein in this league?

No.

Got it.

Okay.

Good.

I've actually blacklisted him.

You're not allowed to pick him up in our league.

Some other sick fuck picked him up and has him on his bench.

And it's terrible because you're – I mean, it's terrible that someone picked him up and has been holding on to him this long. Texans, absolutely no one on the Texans.
I want to apologize. Last time I came on your little podcast here, I may have suggested Davis Mills would be someone good to stash on your bench because i thought he and brandon cooks were going to have a uh a sort of quiet good season and that was a mistake i also want to apologize for saying um so much last time i was on um shit fuck fuck fuck you man fuck you uh afc west oh man i love the afc west i'm still high on them except for those Broncos.
Hate them. Hate them.
For some reason, just because I'm like a masochist, because I'm into like getting spanked, I still have Dulcich on a few of my teams. I don't know why.
The computers tell me to keep him on. Everyone on that offense sucks.
One of the most satisfying things to me this on everyone on that offense sucks there was the one of the most satisfying things

to me this football season was that i was he a defensive lineman yelling at yeah yeah oh it was so satisfying and did you try to break down what russell wilson said back to him like we're gonna we're gonna get him or like yeah sorry sir god Richard Sherman was so right we're gonna get back to Jerry O'Connell a second before we do he's brought to you by Lucy lots of adults choose to use nicotine but there's a right way and a wrong way to do it get ready this is an ad for breakers the new nicotine pouch from Lucy nicotine pouches from the gas station might satisfy in a pinch, but just barely, you're better off trying Breakers.

Nicotine is an addictive chemical. And now, here's more Jerry O'Connell.
NFC East is back. Man, they're back.
All of them. Even the commanders.
All of them. Every single one of them.
I love Giants wide receivers. They're always for sale.
You can get them in the cheap price on Daily Fantasy, and they seem to score. My only issue is why does Taylor Heineke hate Curtis Samuel? What is going on there? Why won't he what is the deal with him not liking Curtis Samuel? I think it's just where it's an embarrassment of riches in Washington because you got Terry McLaurin, then you got Dotson, and Samuel gets a lot of touches, but they're on these little pop pass.
He's the gadget guy. You know how every team has to have a gadget guy? The Steelers always have a gadget guy.
Samuel is the one that, I don't know, we just get him running out wide a lot sometimes. NFC North, everybody except, I'm so sorry, Scratchy Cat, no bears.
Yeah, Justin fields is a monster but yeah uh i don't i mean i i just i'm not sure i'd start you know playoffs are starting in a couple weeks i'm not sure i'd start him this season um no offense taken you know what's funny the grossest division to me the grossest and it's just like i'm a real like you know i live I live in L.A. Like you go on vibes and feelings.

The NFC South really grosses me out.

It just it just it's not worth breaking your whole family up over and coming back and playing.

It's just not.

It's just it's just all those games are just gross.

You know, you get a bad vibe from a division and it's just no one. These are the games when the NFC South plays like Monday Night Football, Bucs versus Saints.
Those are the games you'll be like two quarters in. You'll be like, why? Why am I doing this? Why am I doing this? Why am I sacrificing time with my family for this? And I'm not.
Yeah, it's really funny. I mean, you actually bring up a good point.
As someone who is still somehow married with two teenage children, my football time is so, it's so precious, you know, and I really have to divide up. All right, I'll get the first half of the Jets game and then I'll get the second half of the Vikings game.
And by Monday, I'm really pressing my luck, specifically with my wife. I'm really pushing it because we've had Thursday night, we've had Sunday, all day, all night, and now we're pushing it into Monday.
And if you're going to waste it on, you know, a Panthers-Falcons game,

it's just, it's just, it grosses you out.

It's not worth it.

It's not worth breaking up your family over.

It's eating, it's having like a, being on a really great diet

and having a cheat meal and having the cheat meal suck.

It's like, give me, I don't, I'm cheating for this meal. Let me have the really good cheat meal And having the cheat meal suck It's like give me I'm cheating for this meal Let me have the really good cheat meal Wow Like looking back Should he just Stay married to her and said I'm not coming back It's like one of the all time Bad decisions In world history If you think about what Tom Brady was weighing there, it's like one of the all-time bad decisions in world history.

If you think about what Tom Brady was weighing there,

where it's, should I stay married to my billionaire, supermodel, Brazilian wife,

or should I come back to get my ass kicked by the worst teams in football for a season?

But isn't Tom Brady just like us?

We just want to be

left alone and and watch slash play football we're basically the same guy well i i have to tell you what's funny is um my immediate take on the whole situation was what like what is this chick talking about this guy guy is Tom Brady. Let him play.

Like, if I was in a relationship,

if my wife said to me,

hey, listen, I just want,

what would the equivalent be?

Hey, listen, I just,

I have to go do this last movie with Robert De Niro.

Because my wife is an actress.

You can look it up.

I have to do this movie

with Robert De Niro.

I'd be like, honey, go. Do it.
Please go. I was immediately team Tom, but I was amazed.
Coming to work and sitting around the water cooler, so many people were like, it's really fucked up that he took his promise back. I was like, what are you talking about? He's a quarterback in the NFL.
This is it for him. He's got one last run.
This is the stuff that Disney movies are made of. And that said, I am married to a former supermodel.
My wife is no longer modeling. That's not to say that I love her just just as like i don't put labels on people my wife is my supermodel always will be um just to edit that part just like yeah yeah you're still a supermodel to you i it's um my wife is a supermodel 3, 2, 1 go say your wife is a supermodel yep earlier just three two one go um say your wife is a supermodel and my wife my wife is a supermodel and hates hates it when i work a lot and as an actor i have years where i am abjectly unemployed and just listening to you guys in my underwear and yelling at Hank and Billy.
And I have years of abject unemployment. And then I have a few months of intense work.
And I'm very grateful for that. And my wife, I'm not at home.
Why am I looking around? My wife gets very angry at me when I'm working a lot. it's like what do you want from me I've been here for years like and so I was very much team Tom Brady and I I I don't understand what's the big deal he's gone for if they make a run in the playoffs 24 weeks out of a 52-week year, I mean, what's the biggie? What's the biggie? I still don't understand it.
Well, that's the difference. Nathaniel Hackett, if his supermodel wife was like, hey, Nathaniel, come spend time with me instead of football, he's out.
He would quit football forever at that point. He'd be streaming season three of Mandalorian.
Andor. Yeah.
He'd be a stay-at-home dad after that. But on the other side, it's like Tom Brady is not well-adjusted, so none of those thoughts occur to him.
But then again, that's what makes him the best football player of all time. Oh, you know what's going to be fun is my wife is Dutch, so all I have to hear about for the next three days is like oh you know holland is uh like her my all my in-laws and everything call up and uh they're but it's like dutch people can't talk smack so they like call up and they're like you know i have uh a cousin named young yap they'll never listen to this they're all on holland um i have a cousin named young yap who called up and was like yes uh you know because uh holland is orange the orange men are going to uh take down the usa yeah you're gonna feel the pain first you uh don't have gun control and now you're you're going to lose to us yes i i have heard that dutch people don't understand humor that they just don't do jokes.
Oh, gosh. Like, my in-laws, like, try.
It's so sad. They're like, yes, you have – in America, your team is going to lose, and you have terrible eating habits.
Well, let me say this. Like, if you go to Holland – I've been to Holland for the World Cup, and it is incredible.
Like, anyone who's, like, watching this World Cup stuff, like, you have to understand, while there is excitement in the United States, If you go to Holland, I've been to Holland for the World Cup and it is incredible. Like anyone who's like watching this World Cup stuff, like you have to understand, while there is excitement in the United States, if you go out of this country, they're fucking crazy.
I was in Holland for the World Cup with my wife and my in-laws and all these people. And they are fucking, I'm talking old ladies, young people in the streets, out vomit i will never forget after holland won some world cup eight years ago there was a hot girl they're hot in holland and like her dress was like hyped up and she was passed out in the street and i was like these like They literally you you you think you're going to leave the united states and everyone's going to be sort of like in ties watching the world cup and they're fucking savages over there they're animals they're crazy they literally make walking into link field or you know um met life seem like you're walking into like a fine dining like black tie affair there are fucking savages outside of the united states savages they love their soccer they love their soccer um all right where are we uh we're at the um nfc west uh any niners and seahawks the Niners are so exciting it's going to be so fun seeing if it's the Cowboys Niners or I'm sorry to tell you the Vikings who go to the NFC Championship, no Cardinals or Rams I get a little grossed out by those games and that's it you know I do want to talk about gambling for a second with you guys because I listen to your show a lot and that's it.
Um, you know, I do want to talk about, um, gambling for a second with you guys, because I listened to your show a lot and, um, it's so funny. I, um, I have a thing about gambling.
I've been doing okay this season with gambling. You know, I tend to differ a little bit from how you guys gamble.
I, my gambling career started with horse racing, believe it or not. I love horse racing.

I love going to the track.

It's, um, it's unfortunately a sport that is really, um, it's, it's losing popular.

I mean, you know, I, I go to a track these days and sometimes I'm the only one there

and I still go, I try to bring my kids and instill in them proper gambling etiquette.

And like, you know, we have like kind of jokes when I take my kids to the track cause my

Thank you. still go I try to bring my kids and instill in them proper gambling etiquette and like you know we have like kind of jokes when I take my kids to the track because my daughters are I have twin daughters they're 13 so we have a joke like if they see a horse shit let's bet on that horse because it feels light and um but um I I just love horse racing and it's so funny my I got it from my father.
My father loves horse racing. And I read a book in the 90s called The Right Horse.
And it was a wagering book and how to wager in horse racing. And it's called The Right Horse.
And it basically said exotics yeah

parlays for example you should

never bet them because they're so enticing

and as humans we want to bet a parlay

even like a two game

parlay like a win

with an over or an under

and basically the book I mean

I'll sum it all up for you

says don't do it

bet one bet like that's

how they get you so

I really try to stay away

I'll see it all up for you says don't do it bet one bet like that's how they get you so I really try to stay away I know you guys talk parlays a lot but I really try to stay away from them I try to just bet one bet and it I'm just a believer in that you know I try to I agree I I mean I like to do parlays but if you like a bet a bet. I completely agree.
I mean, if we're really in this to win bets, just one bet. Just one.
You know what I found, though, Jerry? Sometimes when I'm gambling, I like to win. The idea is to win.
But just getting mad about a loss can be fun too.

I've learned to almost enjoy getting mad when I lose a game that I thought I was going to win.

It's loser talk. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

What you're doing is loser talk.

It might be.

It might be me coping with not being very good at gambling.

But I don't know.

It's still fun to get pissed off.

We all work hard. We all commute to work.
That money is ours. Like, it's loser talk.
Oh, man. Actually, I had a really fun bet this year.
I bet the Jets to have more than six wins. Wow.
And it fucking hit, man. And it fucking hit.
Those are fun bets. Yeah.
Man, that was a fun bet. You feel like a genius.
Yeah. Hell yeah was a genius yeah hell yeah man it's just you know what i haven't even turned the ticket in i actually went to vegas and got it and i'm just staring at the ticket i can't wait to mail it in love it um but um let me go through some bets this weekend uh some games this weekend that i really like san franc Francisco and Miami is going to be such a fun game to watch.

I'm going to bet San Francisco, I think, in that game.

I think they're giving Miami four.

Yep. And I just – I think San Francisco is good.

Chargers are going to beat the Raiders, I think.

I think my book, they were giving the Raiders one and a half points,

which I know doesn't seem like a lot with the Raiders, but they're always pretty tight games there. Chiefs and Bengals, man, this is such a good weekend for the NFL.
It is. Such a great weekend.
Good weekend for sports. Oh, you know what's so funny? The Colts are going to cover over Dallas.
I don't know. I just think, you know, my book was giving 11 points last I checked.
And I just think the Colts are going to cover. That's a lot of points.
A lot of points. They pay those guys to play football too.
Hey, you know, Kat, can I ask you something personal and you can like chop this out?

You know, my kids are a little older, so it's actually. I don't want to say it's easier, you know, having teenage daughters.
My daughters play volleyball, so there's a lot of fucking driving them to watch them just get dunked on and lose. I feel like they're Billy at a pickup game in Hoboken.
but is it like you seem to work so much. Yeah.
Does your family complain at all? No. Because it's football season is the majority of it.
And I also, I do go home. People won't see the parts where I like today, for example, we're in the office.
I'll rush home, do dinner time, do bedtime, bath time, and then come back to work. So you'll come back for the Amazon game? Yeah, little kids sleep all the time.
So they go to sleep at 7 o'clock. So people will always be like, why aren't you playing with your kid at 8 o'clock? It's like, well,'s like well they're asleep but yeah i'm getting to the point where my son is at the age where i when i'm like i gotta go to work he's like do you really have to go to work and that sucks and and the missus is okay when you come home and she's just watching 90 day fiance and sort of angrily sitting there on the couch like where have you been and you maybe have like you smell like is there a smell, like, is there a few Coors Lights on your breath? And, like, she's okay with all this? No, because I'm working.
Yeah, there's no Coors Lights. Yeah, yeah, because it's, she can see where I've been.
She can pull up a stream. I'm sitting with Frank the Tank for four hours.
I don't think, I think most, it might be weird for most relationships to see mine.

But like when you're like, hey, I'm watching football with Frank the Tank for four hours.

I don't think there's ever like, oh, man, like, you know, you're having so much fun.

Why are you doing this without me kind of thing?

Or like it's a meme.

I bet I bet he's with other women, right?

Yeah, right. And then the guy's just thinking like uh-oh here comes another mets collapse yeah i'm just i'm sitting between dogs and frank and it's like i love those guys and i enjoy it i have the best job in the world but i don't think there's uh oh man like what you know why aren't you home uh at nine o'clock you know when the kids are that's tough yeah last week um especially for mike white's debut i had to go to a fucking brunch and i had to sit there the whole time and it's just um it's funny if i ever do uh you know um go to therapy couples therapy i i can't believe this, but it's going to be about why can't I get just a few more quarters on a Sunday? Yeah, a couple more quarters.
That's tough, though. I don't like West Coast football when it comes to the time zones.
I think Central Time Zone is the best time zone to watch because it starts at noon. That's perfect.
You can still go out to brunch and pretend that you're being social during the day. On Sunday on the West Coast, though, it really, yeah, you get to bed earlier, but like right when you wake up, it's football time.
Yeah. Yeah.
I have to have a discussion about whether we're going to have the regular eggs Benny or the veggie eggs Benny. It's highly annoying.
Hey guys,

I always write a little something

Yeah, let me

I do, but I felt like, A, I was running out of material.

B, he was out last week with COVID.

So I didn't have a lot of material on him.

So I thought I'd change things up and I'd write a little poem for Hank.

Hank's actually being a boss right now.

Hold on.

Let's see if he's here.

Oh, is he corporate Hank?

He's in a very important meeting about what they're going to talk about the next meeting. Wait, hold on.

Okay, hold on. Don't get too excited.
Can you just join the Zoom on your phone? Yeah, yeah. Okay, join the Zoom real quick.
That sounds like he's in a meeting right now. That was the, yeah, I guess I can.
I wrote a poem for him in the early. I know.
Yeah, but I mean, why is he not more excited? Like if I wrote a poem for him. I know.

Yeah, but I mean, why is he not more excited?

If I wrote a poem for him, he should be like,

oh my gosh, yeah, I'm coming on right now.

Jerry, I agree.

Jerry, I agree.

I agree.

It's disgusting.

Let me just do a quick one. Yeah.
What does Billy think of my form? Billy, it's hard to have bad form on a Smith machine. Oh, wow.
No, it's facts. Fuck you.
I love the Smith. Well, you know, a lot of times I come in here early and I'm by myself and I don't have a spotter.
God, it would be so fun to go and work out with Billy. We should actually do that for a second.
I think we should 100% do that. That'd be real fun.
Hit Muscle Beach together? Yeah. It was closed last time we were there for the Super Bowl.
COVID. Oh, I'm sorry, man.
Are you excited for this weekend? What? What did you say? Billy, are you excited for this weekend? Yeah, I'm pretty pumped. For a jet? Yeah, Vikings.
Hopefully it won't be as your last weather report was pretty fucking windy. What was your weather report? Yeah, there was rain.
Suspect weather report. There was rain that was an hour and a half away from the stadium.
But like the vibe, it was a rain vibe. You know what I'm saying? It was moist.
You know what I think his friends, he called up and he went, you know, I talked to my friends and the weather report is pretty fucking windy. Yeah.
They were freezing their ass off at that game. Well, this is going to be indoors, right?

Yeah.

It's going to be in Minnesota.

Vikings Stadium, U.S. Bank is kind of a pretty hard place to play in.

Do you remember when the stadium first opened up and they had a real problem

because there's a big glass wall on the side of it

and birds kept flying into the side of the stadium and dying?

Yeah.

It was like a real issue.

It's a bummer.

All right, Hanks. It's a bummer.
I don't think he's going to get in, so let's just do it. We'll play.
Oh, here he is. Here he is.
All right. Yes, Hank.
Hank, what's up, man? Henry. Hank.

Firefest of the week.

Great football weekend.

Hank, start us off.

Uh-oh.

No, I mean, it's not an uh-oh.

I just need to preface it.

Obviously, I've been working here for 10 years.

I've been on the internet for a long time. I've i've had every everything about i don't think do you yeah what the picture no oh i've had pictures i've had people roast me for every part of my appearance my voice my outfits everything everything you could ever have roasted i'm very used to it doesn't really phase me you know in one ear out the other we posted a video on cyber monday oh uh we were recreating the lads video singing the i'll be your wish i'll be your wish i'll be your fantasy funny video someone commented on it and said hank reminds me of grandpa joe from charlie and the charlie factory oh no and i it's it's rattled me ever since like it wasn't like it wasn't like uh you're ugly or like your face looks weird it's like you a 29 year old able-bodied person remind me of the dude that can't move in charlie and charlie factory i did eventually yeah he just waited for his fucking grandkid to get a ticket and he popped right up it didn't even make sense and it was just it just it cut me to my core those are hurt like it's not like uh like you know you're fat big cat you know if i just got in the treadmill i could lose some weight or like i'm skinny if i just hit the gym more i could get a little bigger like it's like you remind me of a an old decrepit grandpa no no no i was using the example i was using oh yeah I was using the example.
Yeah, I got you. Fat fuck.
Yeah. I will say all of the top comments were roasting me in that video.
Right, but that's what I'm saying. I'm used to the roast.
It's the ones that kind of come out of nowhere that catch you off guard and stick with you. I'm used to the normal roast.
Those don't faze me. This one, for whatever reason, I don't even know what in me reminded them of Grandpa Joe.
Yeah, whenever someone gets you like that, where it's like, I think someone once said to me, they're like, Big Cat looks like he is a refrigerator on toothpicks. That always stuck with me.
There's just certain ones that you just can't get rid of, and you're just like, alright, that's just what it is now. Yeah, Grandpa Joe.
The creative ones. I gotta be honest, I've never seen that movie.
Oh, really? I don't get it. I don't understand.
Wait, from the original or the new one? He literally just lays in bed. Yeah.
Well, that's not that bad. With all of his brothers and sisters and weirdos and brother-in-laws and just, ugh.

All right, Pitty, your fire fest. My fire fest of the week is I forgot that I have to go to Panama tonight.
Yeah. I got back from Qatar, beautiful country.
Shout out to Amir for showing us around. Donnie's coming back soon, then I'll be able to tell you about the real stuff that we did there.
but I didn't realize this

until I got back to the United States

that I had a bachelor party

that I have to go to this weekend and so I'm leaving tonight at like 1 30 in the morning to go to Panama City Panama for like a day day and a half and then coming right back now I was I was kind of dreading the situation because it's a lot of travel, especially after those flights that are like 15 hours halfway around the world. But I've thought about it more.
And I actually think like a day and a half at a bachelor party when you're 37 years old is the exact perfect amount of time. That's true.
I'm going to fly down there tonight. I'm going to stay until Saturday evening.
So that means I'm going to spend all day Friday dicking around, getting wasted. Saturday morning, hit like a brunch, catch a nice little secondary rollover minutes buzz.
And then I'm going to get back on a plane, fly back to the U.S. And I'm going to be asleep by like 11 o'clock p.m.
on Saturday and get a full night's rest for Sunday. Yeah.
That's the perfect. I think I accidentally hacked bachelor life.
Minus the part of the Panama. Yeah.
So that's like everything you said. I agree with minus the how long is the flight? It's about five and a half, six hours.
Is there two flights? No, direct. Okay.
We go direct over there. Okay.
So, yeah, six hour flight is that's brutal. But I'm going to at least get to fall asleep on the flight tonight as I'm going there.
I didn't even know they let planes go off at 1.30 in the morning. Yeah, I have no idea how this is happening.
But shout out to Panama. Are you sure that's right? Yeah, because I accidentally bought the flight for like 12 hours ago this morning on Thursday morning.
Oh. And then I had to cancel that and get the one for Friday.
So if anybody knows anything to do in Panama, let me know. I hear you're going to be there.
Yeah. What was that? If anyone knows anything to do, let you know you'll be there for four seconds.
Yeah. But Hank gave me a look like so.
Like, hey, there's no really cool thing you could do. Go to the canal.
Yeah. Hank was about to say.
Go to the canal. Yeah.
So Hank's a big engineering guy. No guy no I mean there's a lot of great countries around there around I'm just going to one of them though right Panama yeah don't like fuck around and get in prison in Panama dude I just got back from I know but like you're gonna be like oh I just got through guitar I'm gonna like this is Panama this is oh it's a trap game yeah it's a trap game exactly no you're right It's like I just got Beat up by Qatar And now I'm not Taking my next opponent Seriously Yeah Fortunately I'm not A drug guy So I'll be okay Good Right Maybe just for a night I'll be a drug guy Any TSA people listening He's not I'm not Right Officially not Officially not Alright my fire fest Is I lost my voice I jinxed it I lost my voice It happened jinxed it.
I lost my voice. It happened again.

What was it like two weeks ago that I said I was never going to lose my voice again? And it sucked.

It was a really bad set of circumstances where Cyber Monday came right after we had been up till two in the morning.

I slept like four hours.

I'm sorry.

I apologize.

I won't let it happen again.

You are the throat goat.

I'm the throat goat. Nancy Reagan.
Big cat handshake. the worst part was just not be able to talk shit to troops during the world's cup yeah well don't worry we i mean our play talked enough shit that's true we tied the fuck out of it yeah that was i also lost my game of the year which i'm retired from because that was part of why i lost my voice those take a lot out of me done.
Billy. Uh, my fire fest is I got pretty goddamn sick.
Uh, worst sickness since, uh, like when you started COVID in Italy, I got the flu. It wasn't COVID and it just like put me down.
It was like, it was, it wasn't like sneezy or coffee. It was just achy.
The aches. I think those are the worst symptom that you can get.
Yeah, it was physically debilitating. I usually can be a super spreader when I'm sick, but this one put me down for the count.
And then also the whole Zach Wilson stuff. Yeah, that thing.
Yeah, you've been very wrong about that. It came at a good time, honestly.
It's just i think the the bears game could have been a moment he could have shined and shown everyone like okay this is my ceiling but you know he made those comments he was immature and mike white got the start and now mike white's getting that shine where he could have yeah and i want mike white to take this team to the playoffs and win a super bowl and i think he can't so all my is behind Mike White. Sounds like you're just back in that hole.
Yeah. You're in the Jets' hole.
I'm always in the hole. Get in that hole.
Jake, finish us off. Yeah, so I was home in Florida last week, Thanksgiving.
I played five-on-five full-court basketball for the first time since pre-COVID, and it was a little bit of a wake-up call. Huffing and puffing across the court.
You have asthma, right? I have're bad in florida i think yeah there's probably some asthma lurking they're bad so yeah i i played a i miss layups and get really mad oh i want to see show us mad show us mad can't say on this podcast oh i mean you already said you want to fuck chicks that was you no that was primal That was primal. That was primal.
Wait, so you don't want to fuck chicks. I mean.
All right. Let's do numbers.
Hank, have you ever gotten this? Oh, we have a submission from Sebastian. Oh, nice.
His first submission is 44. 44.
Hank, have you ever gotten this? No, I'm going to go 17. Oh, okay.
That's never going to hit. Oh, man.
I go 64 again. Shout out.
This was obviously the most requested. Shout out to the people on the list.
This was the most requested number. A lot of people have pointed out that if Hank was doing a survivor pool with the balls, he'd actually be kicking the shit out of us.
Yeah, he would. It'd be remarkable.
Someone was like, does anyone care about this bit? I was like, it's not a bit. He literally can't get it right.
Well, it's not a bit. It no longer becomes a bit when we have $5,000 on the plate.
13 left. But also, that's not what a bit is.
He cannot, like, Hank, what's your number? 17. He's not going to get it.
So it's not a bit. 95.
64. 18.
20. Can we review if he doesn't get it? Does he get money? No.
Oh, no. Never.
He owes us money if he doesn't get it. 78.
Oh, that's 70. Yeah.
78. That's 2 out of 3 shows.

That happened on Monday.

Why are we getting so hot with these numbers?

That's crazy.

Hank can't just figure it out.

The algorithm is telling you, Hank.

It's never been easier.

That's crazy.

We've had like 5 numbers in the last 12 shows.

That is crazy.

Hank still hasn't gotten it.

Ballgame rigged.

Love you guys.
