Speaker 1 Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by Cross Country Mortgage. Go check them out right now.
ccm.com slash barstool uh today is friday december 2nd

Speaker 1 and the game has passed bill belichick by hank would you like to i was gonna I was going to give Hank, why don't you start with it? What would you say

Speaker 1 is the line to start the show?

Speaker 3 Patriots are dead.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's...

Speaker 1 It's like Madlibs.

Speaker 1 Are they dead?

Speaker 1 This year, or is this like a ⁇ this feels like it's a multi-year thing going on? They're 6-6,

Speaker 1 but they did just lose to the Buffalo Bills in a pretty.

Speaker 1 It's as significant as a beating as 24-7 would tell you. Like, that's maybe not as a score that you look at and you're like, oh, that was a beatdown.
It was

Speaker 1 pretty significant. Hank?

Speaker 3 Yeah, it started off great.

Speaker 1 Good first quarter. Had him in the first half.

Speaker 3 Had him 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.

Speaker 1 Second quarter, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And it somehow turned into

Speaker 3 a QB sneak on third down.

Speaker 3 And then they had first and 10 with no timeouts after gaining one yard.

Speaker 1 Yeah, to me,

Speaker 1 that was was Belichick

Speaker 1 giving up.

Speaker 1 It was a bizarre scene. It was a bizarre, bizarre scene.
To me,

Speaker 1 I've never seen Bill Belichick beg for three points like I saw at the end of the first half.

Speaker 1 Also, mismanage, like, you know, the, the, the Patriots and Belichick, you know, the mark of a Patriots team was always the middle eight.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 yeah, Folk goes out there, right? Yeah, yeah. Folk goes out there and misses a 48-yarder short.

Speaker 1 Hank, I mean, like, you would agree, though, that the play calling in a situation like that, Bill Belichick is trying to tell you as a Patriots fan,

Speaker 1 we can't trust Mac Jones. Yeah.
Matt Patricia also had all night.

Speaker 3 All season.

Speaker 1 Matt Patricia, the whole, let's see if this guy who has never called plays in his life can call plays.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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'd be a great fit. Bring him back to New England.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They, you know, 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.

Speaker 1 Didn't even feel like the Bills had to break a sweat tonight. No.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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. Let's get it up.
Left hand up.

Speaker 1 Let's stand 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.

Speaker 1 There we go.

Speaker 1 All right. Hank's officially commander.
Let's see. Loo.

Speaker 1 I love it, Hank. Would you like me to.

Speaker 1 Yes, 17. All right.
No one else gets to guess. Now, it's just Hank.

Speaker 1 This counts. This counts as a thing.
This counts. Everyone guess.
64. 69.
18. 5.
20.

Speaker 8 Sebastian has 44.

Speaker 1 This is actually the one time I might be rooting for you. Let's go, Hank.

Speaker 8 22 coming up.

Speaker 1 Is he going to make it?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 17 is sight.

Speaker 8 No, that wasn't.

Speaker 1 Wait, 17 was sitting up. If it was the top,

Speaker 1 17 was pushing it up. Yes.
Oh, God. Yeah, but if it was big, I don't think that's

Speaker 1 I don't think you lose sleep over that one. No, I know.

Speaker 3 I think you lose sleep over the ball machine every night.

Speaker 1 We've never seen 17 even in the shoot.

Speaker 9 That was the first misfire in a very

Speaker 1 long time.

Speaker 9 Like, I think a year.

Speaker 1 All right, I'll give it to you again. 64.
17. 33.
She's not. 20.
Counts.

Speaker 8 That is like Billy 18.

Speaker 1 Officially counts.

Speaker 5 She's not.

Speaker 1 Come on, Hank. I want to pick you up.

Speaker 1 Oh, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy.

Speaker 1 So he's like 45. Oh,

Speaker 1 I see your loser hits still. I was just hoping.

Speaker 1 I was hoping that maybe you were.

Speaker 8 Also, 45 hit less than a month ago.

Speaker 1 This is insane. Yeah.
So, Hank, I mean, the Bills are really good.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, you guys talk on the show about the guy, the guy, the guy. I think you overuse it a little bit, but tonight it was like watching the Patriots struggle.

Speaker 3 And then Josh Allen's the best player. Oh, your guy?

Speaker 1 By far. Oh, he just slid before a first down.
Yeah. No, Josh Allen.

Speaker 3 He's like watching him is watching the old Patriots where he makes every throw, he makes every play. Right.
They look unstoppable.

Speaker 3 The wide receivers, like the quarterback and wide receivers versus our quarterback and wide receivers, it's just the biggest mismatch in the world.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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, he's so fucking good.
He's driving. And he's hitting

Speaker 3 throws under pressure.

Speaker 1 He's hitting

Speaker 3 throws where guys are covered.

Speaker 3 The scramble into a touchdown.

Speaker 1 The best throw he made tonight came back because of holding. That bombed his stefan.
No, I still think that the jump pass that he made on the sidelines across his body for the actual team.

Speaker 1 And Al Michaels. That was the best throw there.
Al Michaels is so mailing it in. He was just like, and that was a completion.
Hank, how do you feel about the fact that

Speaker 1 they're wearing these uniforms, the throwback with Pat Patriot? And this is the best result that you could get out of

Speaker 1 these uniforms. That's That's tough.

Speaker 3 Yeah, no, I mean,

Speaker 3 the season's over. They lose the season in these jerseys, best jerseys they have by far.
And they didn't, they didn't.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 1 Well, it's because of the two shells, I think. Everyone can wear more

Speaker 1 two helmet shells because they can wear more throwbacks now.

Speaker 3 Right, but it's just sad that they brought him back. And like you said, they put up this performance.

Speaker 1 I've actually, I've had the idea that when a team wins a Super Bowl,

Speaker 1 they have to change their jersey from that point forward. And those jerseys remain as the Super Bowl champion retro that you're allowed to wear in throwback night.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 for the season. If they win that game, who knows?

Speaker 1 I don't know. You're still in the hunt, though.
Yeah, everyone's in the hunt.

Speaker 3 The hunt for what, though? That's where it's like, you guys, you know, commanders left hand up. I'm on the bandwagon.
Like, we're both in the hunt to get smoked in the wildcard round.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that sort of feels like.

Speaker 9 But, Hank, what you have to understand.

Speaker 3 And I don't even think we're going to make the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Getting smoked in the wildcard round is going to feel awesome, though. We're in the playoffs.
We get smoked.

Speaker 1 You're recalibrating your expectations

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Losing in the wild card is like, the girl's going to be on top. He's been.
He's done. Let's go.

Speaker 1 He's Wilt Chamberlain.

Speaker 1 We're just sitting here like, hey, wouldn't it be cool to touch a girl? Hank can't even get a boner when he's going left-handed. He's got to go to the playoffs.

Speaker 1 A playoff berth is not even boner. Oh,

Speaker 1 Mac Jones throws a seed

Speaker 1 and hospital pass. Oh, Jesus.
Nope.

Speaker 1 He's all right. All right, so anything else in this game? I mean, it was

Speaker 1 very, it was an old-fashioned butt-whooping. And it was also a great Thursday night tease where the first quarter were like, oh, is this going to be a good game? And it's been totally boring.

Speaker 1 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 Ram. He's going to hate that.

Speaker 1 He's going to hate Coleman. But it's in LA, so he won't be upset.
But he's still 20 minutes from his house. But he's going to be pissed off that he has to watch that game.

Speaker 1 You know what? Next Thursday, actually, it might be the complete opposite.

Speaker 1 Al Michaels might, 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, yeah.
So it's

Speaker 1 tough. Thursday Night Football, not the best.
What are you going to say, Billy?

Speaker 9 Hank, last question. Do you think nepotism got us to this point as Patriots?

Speaker 3 No, his son is not calling the offense. Their defense has been really good.

Speaker 3 Factor fiction, Billy. Top 10 defense in the league.

Speaker 1 It does.

Speaker 1 Billy, answer the man. Answer the man.

Speaker 3 Billy?

Speaker 9 Are they top 10 Billy is deleted.

Speaker 1 Fact or fiction. I'm asking you.
I don't know the defense. Fact or fiction, Billy.
Fact or fiction. Billy, fact or fiction.

Speaker 1 Answer the fucking question.

Speaker 1 I don't know the fact. Is it fact? Billy.
I don't know. Shut the fuck up and answer the question.
Factor fiction. Fact or fiction, Billy.

Speaker 1 Fact, I guess. Okay, there we go.

Speaker 1 Is it actually fact, though? I don't know. What's the top 10 defense here?

Speaker 1 He gets no idea.

Speaker 1 We got you.

Speaker 1 I think so.

Speaker 1 They're like the 14th best defense.

Speaker 9 Yeah, like what if they're the 11th?

Speaker 1 It does feel like, though, the Patriots do have to clean something out of the coaching staff. Yeah.
And mostly Matt Patricia. I think Matt Patricia was probably Patricia.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Matt Patricia is the one. Belichick did have a hilarious coat that he was wearing on the sidelines today.

Speaker 8 The sixth fewest points allowed the Patriots.

Speaker 1 Okay. Bang.
Top 10. Jets are four.

Speaker 8 Not a top five, though.

Speaker 1 That wasn't fact or fiction. Billy, factor fiction, the question was top 10.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, Mac.

Speaker 1 He just spun into a sack.

Speaker 1 It's now

Speaker 1 third and goal from the 25.

Speaker 1 Don't worry, Hank. I've been in this position.
Wisconsin was in this position. They had

Speaker 1 third and goal from the 35 against Minnesota last week. This guy's crying.
It's okay. Yeah, guy was crying.
It's okay. You got this.

Speaker 1 Wisconsin 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's business. He's never, he didn't play any snaps.

Speaker 1 How is his knee so hurt?

Speaker 3 I mean, well, it's kind of foreshadowing because we talk about it later, but I'm kind of, I'm, I'm back on Brady.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you are.
Oh, he spun again. He's spun again.
Oh, and he's taunting the guy that was on the overhead.

Speaker 9 He throwing the fucking end. Mac Jones.

Speaker 1 He's got the over. When Mac Jones runs.
You go third and goal from midfield. When Mac Jones runs, he literally looks like he's running for his life.

Speaker 3 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 This is, Hank, this is going out bad.

Speaker 1 He's just running around back there getting...

Speaker 3 The problem with Patricia, too, is like you want to kind of be like, maybe we should put Zapium, but it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 No. No, it doesn't.
It really doesn't. Like,

Speaker 1 when your offensive coordinator is a lifelong defensive coordinator that quit being a rocket scientist to be like a spreadsheet guy for Bill Belichick.

Speaker 3 And then was a disaster of a headache.

Speaker 1 It's probably not going to end up too well for your offense. It's really.
I also defended him.

Speaker 3 I used to say people hated his interview on this show, and I was like, no, he's pretty good.

Speaker 1 This is one of the circumstances, though, that

Speaker 1 it makes us feel smart for having common sense. Because going into the season, we're like, what is Bill Belichick doing?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Thank you, Bill.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I feel like if we were playing Madden in that end of the first half, we probably would have ended up with a better result than what happened.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, you know what? God bless the broken road that brought Hank to the Washington Commanders fan base.
I'm excited. Left-hand up.
I'm excited, Hank. Left-handed up.

Speaker 1 Let's fucking go. Left-handed up.
I can't wait to lose in the wild card round to Kirk Cousins with you. It's going to be great.
All right.

Speaker 1 Let's kick it to ourselves.

Speaker 1 Any World Cup talk? Oh, yeah, we could. See you later, Jeremy.

Speaker 3 Can I still be left-handed up if potentially, theoretically, I put the Giants and the Hungry Dog?

Speaker 1 Yeah, you can. Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 Just next week. Yeah, you always root against our teams.

Speaker 3 It's not official yet.

Speaker 8 I was just...

Speaker 1 Yeah, you know, sure, whatever. Just say left-hand up.

Speaker 1 Germany's gone. Buy, bitch, Germany.
Buy, bitch, Belgium. Japan, what's up? Buy bitch, Mexico.
Buy bitch up. Japan was incredible.
Japan was great today.

Speaker 1 You know what I actually do like about the World Cup, though, is when they fire the team's coaches

Speaker 1 before they even leave the field after they get eliminated. That's something that I think American sports could learn from.
I'm I'm pretty sure Germany's coach got fired.

Speaker 1 I think Belgium's coach fired himself. Yeah.
He resigned before the final whistle.

Speaker 1 Mexico's coach got fired, I think, before his post-game press conference.

Speaker 1 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.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 They're like, you guys didn't focus on soccer. Yeah, stick to sports.
Yeah. And that's why you got...

Speaker 1 Oh, they kind of suck, 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he just picked up a kit.

Speaker 1 It's brutal. Brutal timing.
Just showed up.

Speaker 1 Okay. Yeah, let's kick it to ourselves.

Speaker 3 Call Rosillo.

Speaker 1 Regarding. Chris Paul.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Kanye West dropped a bomb on us tonight.

Speaker 1 Do you want to call him for an immediate comment? Chris Paul.

Speaker 1 He claims, Kanye West claims, according to a tweet, that Chris Paul got caught with Kim.

Speaker 1 It's so. Let's not give this guy a platform.
No.

Speaker 1 I'm not. I'm giving Chris Paul a platform.

Speaker 1 I want to call him, but also Rossille will have like a 40-minute answer. I'm like, why?

Speaker 1 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.
That's not a good thing. Maybe it was Cliff Paul.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Cliff Paul. The insurance guy.

Speaker 9 Yeah. It wasn't me.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 4 Only one Reese's peanut butter lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 4 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 4 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 week 13, boys. We've got ourselves a slate.
This is what we've been waiting for.

Speaker 1 I feel like recently there have been a few weekends where looking at the games going into it, we've been like, all right, we're going to scratch and claw through this one.

Speaker 1 This, my pants are getting tight just looking at the schedule.

Speaker 1 And you know what's the best part? Like, it doesn't even have to have

Speaker 1 the

Speaker 1 primetime games, the standalone games aren't even that good.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 There are some very good games that are going to tell us a lot about who's actually good in the NFL this year.

Speaker 1 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.
I'm not sure if I bought. So leave it.
Leave it on the field.

Speaker 1 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 just Monday,

Speaker 1 we can just coast through it. It's downhill on Monday.
Yeah, and

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 like, these are the teams we really feel confident about. I'm declaring this Separation Sunday.
Yeah. It's officially Separation Sunday.

Speaker 1 There's some games that will definitely dictate how I view a team. Like if the Bengals win, if the Dolphins win, if the Titans win, if the Jets win,

Speaker 1 the Jets are going to win. Yeah, I think that, well, 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.

Speaker 1 I like that defense a lot.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 The only thing I had before we got into the games and picks, because the Cardinals are on a buy, we did have some news that Kyler Murray, Patrick Peterson, went on a a podcast and basically was like, Kyler Murray only cares about Kyler Murray.

Speaker 1 This league going on, Kyler Murray came back at him on Twitter.

Speaker 1 It just feels like everything could not be going worse with the car.

Speaker 1 Edit all 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it does seem like with Kyler Murray, this is like the most Kyler Murray controversy that could happen because it does involve a podcast and then it involves like tweeting back at somebody and it involves somebody making fun of him for like not spending enough time watching film.

Speaker 1 Kyler just needs to get on Twitch and watch film. I think this would all go.

Speaker 1 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...

Speaker 1 Being on Twitch.

Speaker 9 Kind of playing video games.

Speaker 1 He could even break down his own Madden film if that would make him feel better.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They have individual accolades. They don't.
You play on a baseball team, but a baseball player is

Speaker 1 their worth is determined by their singular play.

Speaker 1 Football. is a team sport.
Kyler Murray is a baseball player. I was going to say baseball player because that's like the sense of urgency that he has during the season.

Speaker 1 He does play like it's 163-game season, doesn't he? Yeah, but it should, but don't you think like there's, he obviously was so good at baseball, he was the whole decision, should I decide?

Speaker 1 I'm not surprised that Kyler Murray might be a little bit self-absorbed and not like the 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.

Speaker 1 I think maybe he just might be a selfish kind of guy. Yeah.
And I think, because like baseball players, at least, they can bro out.

Speaker 1 They can bro out, but I don't think you're on an island in a baseball game. Like you, you, you know, you're, you're, what you do is really on an island versus every other sport.

Speaker 1 Yeah, statistically, definitely, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Kyler Murray, I think, is, he might be 32 if we're power ranking all starting quarterbacks in the league.

Speaker 1 I think he would just, yeah, 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.

Speaker 1 Like, say what you want about Russell Wilson, but like, it's one beer. It's a one.
I think I could have one beer with Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 Well, he'd probably just say some weird shit and he'd be like, yeah, that was interesting. Yeah, exactly.
I'd probably cup of tea, but it was interesting.

Speaker 1 It doesn't, I didn't say which beer it would be. I think like 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.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So let's get into some games.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 That you happened to come down with swine flu right when Zach Wilson went out and Mike White stepped up. When pigs fly.

Speaker 1 It is quite something, Billy, to be the football, the Billy football in your name, QB whisperer. You've had two of your guys get benched this year.

Speaker 9 Yeah, it's tough.

Speaker 9 Two.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 3 And Trevor Lawrence has been balling out like the last three.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was actually.

Speaker 1 That was a tough season.

Speaker 3 There was a moment where it was like Trevor Lawrence was going down. Sam Ellinger got the start.
Zach Wilson and the Jets were rolling.

Speaker 9 Yeah, you got to ride the waves.

Speaker 9 You know, maybe there's a little

Speaker 9 correction to the mean going.

Speaker 1 As body language experts, we thought that Zach Wilson looked bad on the sidelines when he was wearing that hood.

Speaker 1 He looked like a clitoris. It was just getting rained on.
Yeah. Is he going to be starting? I mean,

Speaker 1 I know he's not starting. Is he going to be dressing this week?

Speaker 9 I'm not sure yet. There was questions about it last week, but.

Speaker 1 Well, no, there were no questions about it last week. Last week, you just texted the people

Speaker 1 like, I'm going to bet Zach Wilson

Speaker 1 to score a touchdown just because, fuck it, he might get in. And Memes is like, well, he's not dressing.

Speaker 1 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 sidelines. Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 1 Like to be deactivated? Absolutely. But I think that Salah, knowing what I know about him, he's a good motivator.
That's kind of what he's known for being.

Speaker 1 Like, even when he was in San Francisco on the sidelines, like, his team loved playing for him, and they got up for every game, every big game that defense is always playing, like, way above their level.

Speaker 1 This could be just a great motivational tactic that he's using to be like, listen, you're not above the team.

Speaker 1 You're going to sit on the sidelines. I'm going to make you watch.

Speaker 9 The thing is that Bears game was an opportune game for anyone to shine. Yes.
So Mike White shining was, we know what Mike White has. He can have those big games and see him perform, and he did.

Speaker 9 But I want to see if he can consistently do that. We have a small sample size on his playbook.

Speaker 1 Wow, it seems like you're being a little more critical of Mike White than you ever were of Zach Wilson.

Speaker 9 No, no, I'm not. I mean, Mike White's been playing amazing.

Speaker 1 He's Mike White. Right.

Speaker 9 So I like Mike. His ceiling is Tom Brady.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 all right.

Speaker 9 I said this when he got his ceiling is Tom Brady.

Speaker 1 But I'd rather personally have Tom Brady's career than Patrick Mahomes' career. Right.
So Mike White is, you're saying he is better than Zach Wilson.

Speaker 1 Insane that the Jets have that much talent at quarterback.

Speaker 9 Yeah, and we have the Joe Flacco.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 His ceiling is Joe Flacco.

Speaker 9 And we have a CFL legend as QB4, Strevler,

Speaker 9 who could easily play some Taysom Hill type packaging?

Speaker 1 You guys definitely

Speaker 1 have the best quarterback room in the history of organized football. Exactly.
All right. Let's do just one ball, though.
That's the trick. Yeah.
Just one ball. All right.
Let's do some picks.

Speaker 1 What do we have for updated stats? I know I was terrible.

Speaker 8 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 my best.

Speaker 1 So what are the standards?

Speaker 8 Yeah. So Big Cat at 25, 23, and 1.
Max is one game behind that. PFT, a half a game behind that.
And then we have a little bit of a gap on 20 and 29.

Speaker 8 One game ahead of Hank and Billy, who are still tied at 19 and 30.

Speaker 1 That sounds like

Speaker 1 a lot worse. Anytime you skip an entire 10 digits, like 19 and 30.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's all right.

Speaker 1 That just means that they're about to get hot.

Speaker 3 24 picks left.

Speaker 1 Hungry Dog this weekend?

Speaker 3 There's so many. I might take two.

Speaker 1 Are you going to do two? No, I was thinking about it, but. Why don't you do two?

Speaker 1 Why don't you only do two games?

Speaker 1 But there's so many dogs. All right, Fanny.
I'm not going to go. Go to Ford.
Best of the science.

Speaker 1 Yeah, go to Ford. Now we're talking.
Yeah. Yeah, because three has been so easy.

Speaker 1 Okay. Your favorite.
It's so rude. I'm just, I want to win it.
I bet it every week. Trust.

Speaker 9 If I do four and it's plus 2,000 and we win, then we're up on the season.

Speaker 1 Okay. You got to remember that.
That's a point point. Good point.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yep. Gamble responsibility.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but this exact same thing happened last year.

Speaker 8 I got hurt the next game.

Speaker 1 I feel like if Mac Jones played well against this defense, Mike White can also play well.

Speaker 9 Their past defense is not that good. This is going to be another game that Mike White could actually go off.

Speaker 1 I think the Jets are going to wreck shit on defense.

Speaker 1 That's my prediction for this game. They're going to wreck shit.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I think Kirk Cousins sucks against the Blitz and against pressure. And I think that Jets' defense is going to get ⁇ that's what they do.
They're going to heat him up.

Speaker 1 If they can heat up Kirk Cousins, then Kirk Cousins is going to burst into flames in a bad way.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 1 Dundo. Dundo.
Dunzo. Dundo.
No, I like Dundo.

Speaker 9 Dunzo.

Speaker 1 Okay. Like, I've gone back and forth between, I do respect the Vikings on individual game bases sometimes.
This, I'm flipping back, I do not respect the Minnesota Vikings this weekend.

Speaker 1 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 lot of games.
And this, I, yeah, I got wreck shit.

Speaker 1 I got wreck shit on this one.

Speaker 3 I was gonna pick the Browns, but I feel like that, I just can't.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, but like, I can't, like, ethically, yeah, ethically, you cannot, but I want to, and I still might.

Speaker 3 Oh, just on the graphic, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, Max, I hear you,

Speaker 1 Eagles minus four and a half.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 this game screams Titans.

Speaker 1 The line screams Titans.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 I

Speaker 1 hate this game so much that I think everybody... hates this game so much.
I'm taking the Eagles. So Vrabel, 21-7 against the spread when he's getting three or more points.

Speaker 1 Yeah, as an underdog, it's three or more. That would make me a little bit nervous if I were you, Max.
I do like Max's flowchart in his head, which is like, should I take the Eagles this week?

Speaker 1 No, don't take the Eagles again this week. And then the next flowchart 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...

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Everybody's on the Titans. I can't play it like that.
Everybody's on the Titans. So you can't play it like that.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I'm very excited for this game because this is like you're getting tested this week, Max. Jordan Davis back.

Speaker 3 Jordan Davis back. Maybe Jordan Davis back.

Speaker 1 Are you sure about that? For probably like

Speaker 1 15% of the snaps. Yeah, but they're the best run defense in the league when he's in.

Speaker 9 What happens when Derrick Henry collides with Jordan Davis?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Is that Riddle?

Speaker 9 No, it's like unstoppable force.

Speaker 1 How fast are they going? Yeah. Just like, I always see that collision.
It's an electric train. There's no smoke.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 3 Let's go Jets.

Speaker 1 Okay. Let's go Jets.
All right. So that's your favorite, the Eagles, PFT.
My favorite is the Lions.

Speaker 1 Lions minus one. Are they underdogs?

Speaker 1 No, they're minus one. I think it's a half point.
I think they are plus one. They are plus one.

Speaker 1 Well, when I looked, they were overdogging. You can do the alternate line.

Speaker 8 We've allowed that before. Can I? If it doesn't help you, like if it hurts you, right?

Speaker 1 So wait,

Speaker 1 let me make sure that I'm not fucking this entire thing up. They are plus one right now.
They're at home. Yes.
And they're hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Speaker 1 The Jacksonville Jaguars are road favorites in this game. Yes.
Give me the Lions minus three. Whoa.

Speaker 1 Give me the Lions minus three. Ballsy.
This is. Ballsy.
Yeah. I have a ballsy guy.
Love it.

Speaker 1 That's the official pick, Mike. Yes, yes.
You said it. I'm putting him on the table right now.

Speaker 1 I'll wax my balls

Speaker 1 because it hits.

Speaker 1 It's not going to happen. Love that idea.
It's not going to happen.

Speaker 1 The Lions are going to destroy him. This is a perfect situation for the Jaguars to go out there and just lay a huge egg.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Listen, I. Sounds like Vegas never smelled a football field and they can eat a dick.
Eat a dick.

Speaker 1 This is my next up bowl.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, that's right. Whoever wins his games next up.
I just think I think the Lions are better on defense than they have been in the past. I agree.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You would make a shitload of money if you had that as your strategy. Also, Jamison Williams might be coming back this week.

Speaker 1 I think he's actually like a people forget that Jameson Williams is on the Lions. He's very fast.
And he's so fast. There was a screenshot.

Speaker 1 He got into like a foot race with some of the wide receivers and defensive backs and the Lions in practice.

Speaker 1 And then he was like, it was like the Usain Bolt shot where he's like looking back and smiling at everybody because he's five yards ahead of them. This guy is really, really fast.
He's so fast.

Speaker 1 So, so fast.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 My favorite, favorite. Hank, you're going to have to edit this on Sports Advisors because we did that on Monday morning.
And

Speaker 1 I was sick this week and my brain has been foggy, but I've come to. And my revelation is this.

Speaker 1 The Kansas City Chiefs double revenge. Minus two.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Double revenge means something. The Chiefs are going for double revenge.
Last year, they lost in the regular season, then AFC Championship game.

Speaker 1 I think this is the best the Chiefs are going to look all season is this weekend on Sunday.

Speaker 3 Test my pick. I think you're right.

Speaker 3 Double revenge.

Speaker 1 I tend to agree with you.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It was the peak Chiefs getting too cute with it at the end of the first half. And it was Eli Apple that made that tackle, right?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Now we get to see the Chiefs go into the Bengals and get their revenge. I actually kind of want,

Speaker 1 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 AFC playoffs.
I think this game will be close.

Speaker 1 But the double revenge, Patrick Mahomes, under a field goal, yeah.

Speaker 1 So make sure that's changed, Hank,

Speaker 1 for advisors as well. Because I had like a

Speaker 1 come-to moment where I was like, ooh, I like the Bengals. I've been talking about the Bengals a lot.
And we kind of forgot, like, oh, yeah, the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 The Chiefs kind of play with their food, but this is a game

Speaker 1 they will not take lightly, and they will not fuck around. Yeah, they're not in danger of getting too cute with it.

Speaker 1 They're still like, we want to win this game because they fucked us up last year. Last year, they were feeling themselves right, but at the end.

Speaker 1 The only thing I don't like about the Chiefs this year is

Speaker 1 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-Glair, he has been nowhere to be found this year.

Speaker 1 With the Andy Reid offense, you need to at least have either the threat of a run game or a guy that'll catch two screens a game and get like 60 yards receiving off those two screens.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 as we get into the playoffs.

Speaker 7 This will be big.

Speaker 1 I'm not ready to label them candy ass just yet,

Speaker 1 but I do actually like them this weekend. Yeah.
Okay, Billy.

Speaker 9 I like the 49ers by four. That's my favorite.

Speaker 7 Minus four, yep.

Speaker 9 Yeah. So

Speaker 9 everyone's talking about Mike McDaniels homecoming and they're like, I'm trying to figure out in my brain who knows more about whose offense and whose defense and like being in each building.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 1 So that's what I'm taking. Well, Tua.

Speaker 9 Yeah, but I'm not sold on Tua.

Speaker 1 Oh, really? Yeah. Sold on Samuel.
But Zach freaking Wilson is Patrick Mahomes. Watch your language.

Speaker 9 By the way, everyone, like, it's his ceiling. I said, like, his ceiling.

Speaker 1 What's your ceiling, Billy?

Speaker 9 My ceiling? Joe Rogan? No.

Speaker 9 Big Cat.

Speaker 1 No, what's your ceiling? Where's your ceiling? Joe Rogan. Liverpool.
Liverpool.

Speaker 9 Like, ceilings are ceilings. Like, they're up there.
Fact.

Speaker 1 That is true. That's like the whole point.
Your ceiling is. Ceiling is the roof.
Your ceiling is in Shapiro. Yeah.
Oh, Jesus. Come on.

Speaker 1 Okay. So this game,

Speaker 1 Mike McDaniel, I love him. But he is bringing out the inner meatball in me.
Have you guys seen the mic'd up stuff?

Speaker 1 I hate that I have the reaction that I do where I'm like, dude, stop fucking around on the microphone when you're playing a game, like call the plays and like be a football coach.

Speaker 1 I hate that I feel that. Because I actually like Mike McDaniel and I think that guys like that he's fun, but

Speaker 1 I watched the video. If people didn't see it, he's like cracking jokes to Tua during the game.
He's like yelling stuff.

Speaker 3 He's trolling about Georgia being

Speaker 1 CT. I'm like, dude, 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.

Speaker 1 I think what happened was leading into this season, we all had the 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.

Speaker 1 He really stole that take from us by not even allowing the Dolphins to get bad at football. Correct.
That was a fucked-up thing that he did because I really wanted to have the take.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I need like a three-game losing streak out of the Dolphins so I can be like, this guy is soft. This guy's not a football coach.
This guy's playing Madden. Yes, agreed.
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 Like, they have not had the adversity. I guess Tua's concussion would be counting as adversity, but it does feel too easy for them.

Speaker 1 The biggest adversity they've had is like Mike McDaniel, he made Tua watch Magruber on the plane ride back. He's like, yeah, we cheesed the entire time.
It was sick. I don't know.

Speaker 1 Just take it seriously, dude. It's football.
That was all during warm-ups, though.

Speaker 9 Those comments.

Speaker 1 No. Doesn't matter.
That's when you should be getting ready to play football. No, that was.

Speaker 9 Georgia 1 was when they were warming up.

Speaker 1 But there were other ones that were in the middle of the game. There was no time for jokes and warm-ups.
Yeah. It was a serious thought.
Again, this is stupid. It's a man's game.

Speaker 1 This is a stupid thought that's in my head. I actually disagree with myself.

Speaker 1 I'm just acknowledging the fact that when I watch it, there's a part of me that's like, how could you not take football seriously? I just think that Mike McDaniel,

Speaker 1 knows probably 70% of what Kyle Shanahan knows. Kyle Shanahan knows like 95% of what Mike McDaniel knows.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 And there might be, I don't know, like Mike McDaniel owes Kyle Shanahan a lot for like rescuing his career, taking him with him to the different places that he went.

Speaker 1 There's probably like a little bit of intimidation if you're going back to coach against a guy like that.

Speaker 1 You know how sometimes you second guess yourself, and then you second guess yourself so much that you're actually triple guessing yourself and going back to the first thing you wanted to do.

Speaker 1 There's going to be a lot of that this weekend inside Mike McDaniels. Yes, yes.
I'm excited for this game. This game is...
Imagine, like, before the season, no one would have thought this would be...

Speaker 1 Probably... This is, you know, Chiefs, Bengals, but Dolphins, 49ers, holy shit, it's going to be awesome.

Speaker 1 I think that, you know, we like to watch the post-game handshakes and the pre-game handshakes between coaches that have a history together. Yep.
They're probably just going to hang out.

Speaker 1 Like, they're going to go out for the pregame handshake, start talking, and then, like, watch the game together on the sidelines and forget that you're going to be able to do it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you want to do this in a shared spot in the end zone? Yeah, let's just chill. Yeah.

Speaker 11 Hey, this is Rhea from Chicks in the Office, and this season, we're heading home for the holidays with Abercrombie and Fitch. We all know our calendars are about to get chaotic.

Speaker 11 For non-stop plans, Abercrombie has the pieces to curate your perfect seasonal wardrobe, sweaters and denim for casual plans, party dresses for nights out, and comfy matching sets for everything in between.

Speaker 11 Keep the chaos cute this season in Abercrombie. Shop their new holiday outfits in the app online or in stores.

Speaker 1 All right, your favorite favorite, Jake. Lahoo.

Speaker 1 There we go, Jake. Washington Horror.
Left handed.

Speaker 8 Two and a half against the Giants. The Giants.

Speaker 1 Lahoo. Did you just make that up?

Speaker 8 Lahoo. No, I've been doing that for a few weeks.

Speaker 1 He's been saying Lahoo.

Speaker 1 The hashtag that I started doing was LHU, but Jake just went with Lahoo. And I mean, listen.

Speaker 1 Jake has not steered me wrong on it yet. Left hand up, Jake.

Speaker 8 Yeah, Lahoo. The Giants.
These two teams are just going in opposite directions. So, two and a half.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 The Giants are the worst team in the league. Our friend at Stad Hole Sports pointed this stat out.
The worst team in the league if football games were three quarters long.

Speaker 1 So the Ravens would be the best team in the league by a considerable margin. I think they'd be undefeated, and the Giants would be 2-7-2 in the first three quarters.
Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Okay. This is the first

Speaker 1 really sunny, bright, freezing cold day at the Meadowlands. That will take us through the entire month of December.

Speaker 1 These types of games scream to me always

Speaker 1 like the

Speaker 1 road team and the under. Take the road team and the under when it's like super bright outside and 40 degrees in New Jersey.
And this is the beginning of the...

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 very, like a game that we didn't expect would mean a lot. It's a home and it's mean a lot.
Yeah, it's the

Speaker 1 East Coast Megalopolis Derby. Yeah.
There it is. Back and forth.
Train. Back and forth.
All right, Hank, your favorite underdog.

Speaker 3 We just talked about this game, the Dolphins. Plus four.

Speaker 3 The Titan, the Eagles, and the

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 1 I like that. The favorite underdogs.
Favorite underdogs. Eagles and Bengals?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 3 Smoke the Dolphins.

Speaker 1 Smoke the Dolphins. Max.

Speaker 1 What is our... Like, pick'em.
Like, if a game's a pick'em, how does that work?

Speaker 1 I think you can just decide if it's favored or underdogged. Like, you can use it for either or.
Yeah, okay. I won't.
I won't. Strict pick'em.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Raiders is a pick'em, right?

Speaker 8 No. Raiders, chargers? No.

Speaker 1 Raiders by a half.

Speaker 1 Raiders are favored by a half. Correct.
All right. Fuck it.
I'll go Colts. Colts plus 11.
Okay. Oh, whoa, whoa.
That's a nine and a half. You were just driving down the road and you just pulled off.

Speaker 1 You're like, yeah, fuck it. Ten and a half.
Well,

Speaker 1 they're going against Cowboys in my head.

Speaker 8 So you were going to 10 and a half?

Speaker 1 Yeah, whatever. Max's picks are pretty simple.
Yeah. It's Eagles and whoever's playing against the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 As true as could be. That game, this Colts,

Speaker 1 Michael Parsons might murder Matt Ryan.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Matt Ryan completed his very first pass of the day.

Speaker 1 He might go the entire first half without completing a pass if Michael Parsons has his way. Yes.

Speaker 1 This is going to be bad. This is going to be bad.
But 10.5,

Speaker 1 listen, they get paid too, right? It's a lot of points.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Jeff Saturday and Cleats, I'm taking that all day.

Speaker 1 He would just step into him and it would look like Zion Williamson's shit and just fucking explode everywhere. That fat putty of

Speaker 1 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. Texans.
I knew you were going to say that. Texans plus seven.

Speaker 1 Deshaun Watson's coming back.

Speaker 1 He is playing his first game of football since January 3rd, 2021. That's essentially two years

Speaker 1 in between football games. That's a long time.
It's also right on the end of November. Probably have a lot of weird emotions going on in his head.

Speaker 1 But I think that the Texans, it's a big revenge game for the entire franchise against him because when he left, he basically committed them to hell.

Speaker 9 Yes.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 essentially erased. He basically, well,

Speaker 1 I was just thinking about it. Like, I was like, all right, so he left them in hell, but then he went to Cleveland.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 it's not the tax. Yeah, yeah, purgatory.
He's in purgatory. But everybody knew that when he was in Houston, that he was their team.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And so by him choosing to leave, he just did so understanding that the rest rest of the team would just be committed to really playing football in a hell-type situation.

Speaker 1 I'm just pointing out the idea.

Speaker 1 I agree with you. It's just funny to be like Deshaun Watson being like, welcome to hell.
I'm out of here. And then he gets off his flight and it's Cleveland.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You may all go to hell. I will go to Cleveland.
Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 I would take playing for the Browns at least.

Speaker 1 They've got a decent roster. And I do think that there is something to be said for a brand new quarter, like catching a new ball.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's probably like, it's going to take some getting used to for their wide receivers.

Speaker 1 I don't just, I don't, I can't bet on the Texans just because I just have watched them play and they're so, so bad.

Speaker 1 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, two years, almost two years. Yeah, it's a long time.

Speaker 1 It takes a long time to not play football.

Speaker 9 Also, 10 of his accusers are going to be at the game. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes, it's going to double the attention of the fight. I feel Texans.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I don't think Deshaun Watson really, uh i don't think that's going to weigh heavy on him he doesn't seem like a remorseful type of guy uh yeah i think i have good seats i hope they're right by the play clock still i still think every time every the vibe he gives off i don't think he uh i don't think he feels bad probably not is deshawn watson hypothetically deshawn 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

Speaker 1 he can't He'll win it next year, probably. Come Tummy Player of the Year.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Come Pelly Button of the Year. Yeah.
That's definitely got to go to Gino, right? Like, no matter how good Deshaun Watson plays. Yes.

Speaker 1 Okay, that game. They're going to hide that game.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 They've hidden it very well.

Speaker 1 So my underdog, I'm going with the Jets, Billy. I'm going with the Jets.

Speaker 9 Plus three. I like it.

Speaker 1 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 plus three.

Speaker 9 I'm not touching the Jets this week.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 9 I'm going Titans plus five. It's a little vanilla.

Speaker 1 Four and a half.

Speaker 9 Four and a half?

Speaker 1 Okay. Like it even more.

Speaker 9 Yeah. It's just, it's a chalk pick, but it's right there.
And percentage-wise, it's been doing well this year.

Speaker 1 It's a favorite underdog, yeah. Yeah.
It's your favorite underdog. All right.

Speaker 1 Jake.

Speaker 8 I'm also on the Dolphins plus four. I mentioned it before.
They are still undefeated when Tua Tungabelo plays quarterback healthy. And even if they lose this game, it'll be by field goal.

Speaker 1 So we'll be good. Okay.
Okay. Is that guarantee?

Speaker 1 We'll see. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 12 Man, I'll tell you what. When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 12 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 12 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 12 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 1 Hank, over.

Speaker 3 My favorite over, I like them as a dog too, is the Ravens Broncos.

Speaker 1 Over 39 and a half.

Speaker 1 Dude, that's pretty disgusting. Do you know that Broncos just, they've had one overgame this entire year? Yep.
Do you know, here's a fun stat for you.

Speaker 1 The Denver Broncos have scored 14 offensive touchdowns this year.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They are such a bad offense. And Russell Wilson has lost locker.

Speaker 8 And you guys aren't accountable for a bunch of people.

Speaker 1 No, he got a bunch of birthday party.

Speaker 1 He had a lot of vibes.

Speaker 3 He had to come to his birthday party. You have Nathaniel Hackett Bolton board materials.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That means probably like 35 people showed up to a 34-year-old's birthday party. That's That's a good thing.
That's a shit. That's way too many people to show up.

Speaker 1 Like, if I threw a birthday party, 35, absolutely not. I would not invite 35 people to my birthday party.
I think that's a great job.

Speaker 1 Like, 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.

Speaker 1 Well, this isn't a bet on Russell Wilson's. I mean...

Speaker 3 I think they're going to win the game, too.

Speaker 1 Really? Yeah. They can't score.

Speaker 1 So far.

Speaker 1 It's week 13.

Speaker 3 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?

Speaker 1 He might have. I hope it does.
Listen, if Nathaniel Hackett wins, I'll take all the credit. So Nathaniel Hackett said right now he's not considering a quarterback change.

Speaker 1 He also, which is, I mean, like, Nathaniel Hackett, that's as close as you can come to saying that you are. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Most coaches just say, no, we're not. Or, like, that's a dumb question.
Why are you asking me that? But for him to say right now, I don't know.

Speaker 1 Maybe, maybe that'll light a fire in russell wilson my uh nathaniel 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 russell 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

Speaker 1 he's lost the locker room That's a fact. Half the people didn't show up for his birthday.

Speaker 1 If I was a backup receiver on that team, I would absolutely show up.

Speaker 1 They missed all their opportunities. There's a lot of guys who didn't show up to his birthday.
On a Tuesday, you can show up.

Speaker 1 You can show up. 35 people on a Tuesday to a birthday party.

Speaker 1 Those are solid numbers. Stay off.

Speaker 1 All right. Go ahead, Max.
Your favorite over?

Speaker 1 Falcon Steelers over. I don't know what the number is, but over.
42. Okay.

Speaker 1 What's your logic behind that, Max? Kenny Pickett is good? Yes.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Henry,

Speaker 1 what were you just doing? Nothing.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 No, Kenny Pickett's a good guy. Whoa.
Yeah, but he's also a football player. He's a rookie.
He's a good football player.

Speaker 1 I would rather I'm Kitty Pickett than Mac Jones. I'll tell you that much right now.

Speaker 3 I strongly disagree with that.

Speaker 8 What'll you guys say? He's a rookie. I'm afraid he's going back to New England.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, you ready?

Speaker 1 You're so damn good.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 He was primals.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Hank, he's definitely.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you don't think the reason they left is because of Giselle?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 you're right, Hank. Oh, okay.
He's definitely coming home too. He missed you the entire time.
I mean,

Speaker 1 when he was home,

Speaker 1 there's a New England party truck. We got to go to Florida.
We got to go to Florida.

Speaker 3 We got to go to Florida. And then it's like, all right, we'll go to Florida.
Things fall apart.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 1 I know, 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.

Speaker 3 I think it's more Bill Belichuk than me, but I appreciate the notion.

Speaker 1 He probably called Bruce Arians Bill a few times. Definitely.
Yeah. Like in the throes of passion.

Speaker 1 High by me after a big touchdown. Let's go, Bill.
Oh,

Speaker 1 I mean, Bruce. Sorry, my bad.
Love you, Bill.

Speaker 3 No, Kenny Packet's solid. But I need to see more.
I need to see more. Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. So Hank needs to see more.
That's fair. You can always ask for more.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 PFD, your favorite over.

Speaker 1 My favorite over. In this case,

Speaker 1 I'm going to double dip on an over. Ooh.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I'm going to go to the Lions Jaguars again. It's a big over, right, Jake? Yeah, it's 51.5.
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm just doing this for fun. I'm like testing myself on this.
When I saw one,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 that's a great line because it will surely go up.

Speaker 1 Aaron Rodgers seems like he's definitely playing, and he's being a real dick about everything because he was asked if he would sit, you know, for Jordan Love. He's basically like, no.

Speaker 1 So he's going to play. He's probably going to skull fuck me.
I might as well make some money off it if they score. Like, Aaron Rodgers would probably throw five touchdowns.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and I'm telling you, like, this is, it could be a good thing if Justin Fields plays. It could be a great thing for Justin.
No,

Speaker 1 I agree. I want him to play.
Yeah, I know. I'm saying

Speaker 1 the opportunity for Justin Fields to beat the Packers here

Speaker 1 would be so good for your personal morale. Yes, that's all I want.
All I want.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He's got $50 million waiting for him if he comes back. So he'll be back.
Yeah. Okay, Billy.

Speaker 9 You know what? I'm making a big change. Last week, I did an impulsive change to my over and underdog being the Jets and the Jets game.
I'm going to do the exact same thing again, if that's okay. Okay.

Speaker 9 I want to switch my underdog to Jets plus three. And I also want my over to be Jets Vikings over 44 and a half.
You served me right last week. Those were my two wins last week.

Speaker 9 I got to stick with what's winning. Okay.
And that's Mike White.

Speaker 1 That's a record for Billy. Billy swore off betting on the Jets for 12 minutes.
Yeah. Well, last time it was 30 seconds.
So that's true. You're crazy.
So we're getting there. But it won.

Speaker 9 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

Speaker 1 a freaking points house. Points house.
A freaking points house.

Speaker 9 Even take Elijah more over on everything because he's getting the ball mike white is good friends with elijah more yeah they're he's gonna feed that's like a south florida connection i think so keep feeding that okay uh jake your favorite thing in that game is tom brady versus kirk cousins non-prime time so yeah because tom brady is yeah that's true

Speaker 1 that's true that's gonna be a lot of points that's gonna be a lot of points

Speaker 1 and if tom brady gets hurt patrick mahomes will come in right so what do we think yeah um i'm going with the chargers raiders over 50 and a half

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 Good rule of thumb is the Chargers are never fully healthy.

Speaker 1 Not even in week one.

Speaker 1 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 are...

Speaker 1 They have finally gotten to like, this is fun now. They're bad, but in a fun way.
Because they do score points. They're winning overtime games with walk-offs.

Speaker 1 Derek Farr is Mr. Overtime.
Yeah, they're fun.

Speaker 1 They're fun. Okay, Hank, finish us off.
Unders.

Speaker 3 My under is the Browns, Texans, under 47. Sean Watson, first game back.
Probably not going to look

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 1 Under 47. I like that.
I like that. Okay, Max.

Speaker 1 We talked about it a lot. Jets, Vikings.
Jets defense is good. Yep.
Okay, good call. Okay.
I got the under in Commie's Giants. Same.
I think it's 40.5. It's a low under.

Speaker 1 But, yeah, I think that this is good for the Washington Commanders' defense. The Giants don't score a whole lot of points, anyways.

Speaker 1 The under in the Commanders games are 8-1 to the under since week three. 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 Cami's overs.

Speaker 1 Just because Taylor Heideke is fun. Fun, yeah.
I think he's fun.

Speaker 1 But fun doesn't doesn't always translate into an over. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Also, Taylor Heideke, 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.

Speaker 1 They're a Blitz house. Yes.
Go ahead, Billy.

Speaker 9 Chargers, Raiders, 50.5.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Under 50.5.

Speaker 1 Jake.

Speaker 8 I'm going with Jaguars, Lions, under 51.5. To PFT's point earlier, those two teams seeing 51.5 is just not real life.
They're bad

Speaker 1 defenses. Very bad defense.

Speaker 1 All right. I think we hit every game.

Speaker 1 Seahawks, Rams.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 Like, I think maybe you have to take Bryce Perkins. Is Bryce playing again? Bryce.

Speaker 1 I think I've hit my quota for Bryce Perkins. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 it was a tough watch. We bet him to score a touchdown.

Speaker 1 We really tuned in. Yeah.
We watched a lot. We really intently watched Bryce Perkins.

Speaker 1 I'd actually say say this podcast is the most. We know the most about Bryce Perkins and how he operates in the Rams offense.

Speaker 1 That might be a little unfair of us to be so harshly critical on Bryce Perkins.

Speaker 1 Because he didn't score a touchdown, but he also didn't look good. No.
What did he have, like, 40 yards passing? He looked good on that one drive.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 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? PFD, you got a.

Speaker 1 Oh, we gotta do it. We'll do our rush war as well.
PFT is gonna do an ad and we'll do the rush war as well.

Speaker 1 Oh, subprimal, cool.

Speaker 3 Greatest quarterback of all time.

Speaker 1 TB12, primal.

Speaker 3 Single. He's got his mind clear.

Jason Tate. Him.

Speaker 1 What's up?

Speaker 9 This is Liver King.

Speaker 1 Subprimal.

Speaker 1 Not a steroid user. I like to say I'm starting not using steroids because

Speaker 1 I'm going to give that a shot and see how that works out for my body. The 10-pack is going down to the 8-pack.
I'm starting every day, touching my feet to the ground, connecting with nature.

Speaker 1 I absolutely love starting, not using steroids. I feel great.

Speaker 1 I'm sitting the Netherlands. I'm sitting the Netherlands, the entire country.

Speaker 9 Netherlands subprimal.

Speaker 1 Subprimal, they have no farms. Agricultural nation.
They have

Speaker 1 no farms. They care about flowers.
They have tulips. They go crazy for tulips.

Speaker 1 You can put tulips on my asshole.

Speaker 1 Would it be subprimal to ask if that's the same place as Dutch? It is, yeah. And Holland.
It is.

Speaker 1 It is.

Speaker 1 If you have three names, you don't have one. Yeah.
And Holland. And Holland.
Basically.

Speaker 1 It's confusing. Yeah, very.
Very Amsterdam. Yeah.
Yeah, it's a city. Very primal city.
A lot of primal urges fulfilled.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Jake. Primal.

Speaker 7 My sit-home is pussies, like Billy.

Speaker 1 I don't fucking don't need that.

Speaker 1 Me and Big Cat fucking each other. I don't think it's so great.

Speaker 1 I don't think it goes so great. There's definitely a market for that.
I think primal.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Hank's nodding his head. I think it would go better if it was us fucking some chicks.

His wife is probably also on steroids. Looking into it.
Would you?

Speaker 1 Oh, you're looking into it. Look into it.
That's your own wife.

Speaker 1 That should be a hard crime. It's a hard investigation to crack.
What?

Speaker 1 The whole thing is ridiculous. Liver King.
Like,

Speaker 1 has he commented on it?

Speaker 9 No, he's in Mongolia hunting yaks.

Speaker 1 And that's being it.

Speaker 9 Yeah, and it's actually, he's just tweeting through it all. It's hilarious.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's probably the strategy. It's just pretend it didn't happen.

Speaker 9 And he's like hanging out with Eagles. Actually, let me check what he did last.

Speaker 1 Hank, where is this Brady rumor coming from? That was my other question.

Speaker 1 I saw like a Jeff Howell Athletic

Speaker 3 fanfic special.

Speaker 1 Oh, so you're saying it's fan fiction?

Speaker 3 No, well, it was, I saw it from fan fiction, and I was like, all right, this is fan fiction.

Speaker 1 Dolph College.

Speaker 3 And then

Speaker 1 the robot.

Speaker 3 Jeff Howell. Jeff Howell wrote about it, which I, I, that, that's valid in my eyes.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 okay.

Speaker 3 He said it would make sense.

Speaker 1 He would see it happening. Okay, so it stuck for Mac Jones.
It's not actually based on anything. It's just saying that it would make sense if it were to happen.
No,

Speaker 1 in your head, this is everything you've ever wanted. And so it's confirmation bias where you're like,

Speaker 3 the Pats are going to 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, like that's that's really all it is.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 3 I don't think that would happen.

Speaker 1 What would you say, though?

Speaker 3 I would say, sorry, Tom, but.

Speaker 1 Are you choosing Bill over Tom? Yes. Okay.
Okay. All right.
Well, let's.

Speaker 3 I mean, it'd be unbelievable.

Speaker 1 Let's do it for Mount Rushmore. I mean, yeah, you're already happy.
I'm going to give you a smile right now. It's not going to happen, though, Hank.
Yeah. Yeah.
All right.

Speaker 1 I just need you to be realistic about this. Like, you're getting all worked up.
You know what I'm saying? I think that the

Speaker 1 kids are into it.

Speaker 3 Like, I really do think.

Speaker 1 It's crazy to say, but like warm weather. weather.
My little Hank's. Like, it's hard.

Speaker 3 We got to go to Florida. I'm sick of winters in New England.

Speaker 1 I can't wait.

Speaker 3 And once you're single and you just want to grind out in the winter.

Speaker 1 Hank, you're being delusional, Hank.

Speaker 1 He's just not that into you.

Speaker 9 Everyone thinks their divorced parents will get back during the holidays.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 Billy. Love it.
All right.

Speaker 1 What's your Mount Rushmore pick?

Speaker 1 I'll go with Devon Montgomery.

Speaker 3 I'm going to go with McCaffrey. I want to go Saquon, but that lost last time.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 Christian McCaffrey.

Speaker 1 We got to win one, guys. I'm going to go

Speaker 1 Kenneth Walker. Okay, like it.

Speaker 8 Ooh, we forgot to talk about something. A.J.
Dillon baby game.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8 Should we put him in or is that too risky as a test?

Speaker 1 That's a touchdown. No, no, no.
No, but he's been playing really well recently.

Speaker 1 But is he getting 50?

Speaker 1 I mean, the Bears are. No, no,

Speaker 1 I'm saying we'll put him on the PMT baby bump bet. Yeah, yeah.
And we'll boost him.

Speaker 12 Oh, he got 64 last night.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let's just keep that separate. Keep it separate.
Yeah, keep it separate. He didn't have a baby.

Speaker 1 Oh, they're having

Speaker 1 a baby. It's totally different.
Oh, wait. Yeah, take it out.
Totally different. Take it out.
Totally different. Out, out.

Speaker 1 That just means that he had sex. He came like two weeks ago.
Yeah. Congratulations.

Speaker 1 So, who's your pick?

Speaker 8 Is Mixon playing?

Speaker 1 Yes,

Speaker 1 I think he might be.

Speaker 1 You could also go Jonathan Taylor, Nick Chubb. Nick Chubb.

Speaker 1 Chubb is guaranteed.

Speaker 8 Yeah, they're going to hand it off a lot because they're going to ease him into the offense.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Deshaun.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 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.
You see that Deshaun Watson, handoff Chubb?

Speaker 1 It's a good rule of thumb to follow. Yeah, before we get into Jerry O'Connell.
Prince Albert Pool. That's right.

Speaker 1 This weekend. Yeah, what is that, the Prince Albert? It's Pierce.
Chub and Pierce. Chubb and Pierce.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Tune into Planet Football for more whimsical takes.

Speaker 7 We drove 1,700 miles of old Highway 61, the whole country top to bottom, just to prove one one thing. Comfort food can make anywhere home.

Speaker 7 Crave New World makes the classics you grew up with, cleaned up for right now. High protein, no fake stuff, no shortcuts.

Speaker 7 The road trip might be over, but dinner's just getting good.

Speaker 1 And now, here's Jerry O'Connell.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on one of our favorite recurring guests. 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,

Speaker 1 in to give us an update on our team and also a little pump.

Speaker 14 Just want to let Billy know.

Speaker 14 Got some plates down here.

Speaker 14 Actual plates. We don't do 10s.
We don't even touch 35s. We don't touch 25s.

Speaker 1 There we go.

Speaker 1 This is, I mean, this is great.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 14 A slight incline. I already started with the standard 45 degree.
Yeah. Now I'm like at like a 30 degree.
I just like to, I just like to hit. I like to hit every

Speaker 7 angle of the chest.

Speaker 1 Like the lower chest. Yeah, we're working the upper path.

Speaker 9 I see some of the menu. You can see it.

Speaker 1 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 of pardon my take.
Liver King has been in the news recently.

Speaker 1 It looks like you're on that Liver King diet. Would you like to comment about your PED usage?

Speaker 14 Well, yeah. I mean,

Speaker 14 I live my life by the seven tenants. Tenants?

Speaker 1 Tenants. Tenants.
Tenants. Tenants.

Speaker 14 Tenants.

Speaker 1 Tenants.

Speaker 1 Like you have tenants.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Right.

Speaker 13 You know, your landlord. I sleep.

Speaker 14 I sleep. I eat.

I list sit drugs around. I move them around the country.

Speaker 1 You have to shield.

Speaker 14 You have to shield yourself from

Speaker 14 accusers that accuse you of using PEDs.

Speaker 1 You have to connect. You connect.

Speaker 1 You connect with your dealers all over the country.

Speaker 14 There's a connection. There's like a triangle connection.

Speaker 1 Cold.

Speaker 14 You got to keep PEDs cold. You got to put them in the fridge a second.
You you get them. You take them out of the ice packs.

Speaker 14 The sun.

Speaker 14 You keep your PEDs out of the sun because it ruins PEDs. And then you waste your money.
You got to fight. You fight.
Rough and rowdy. Jose Caseko.
Billy Wong.

Speaker 1 You fight.

Speaker 14 And

Speaker 14 you bond. Yeah.
You bond with your dealers.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 14 Seven 10 ants.

Speaker 1 10 ants. Yeah.
I love it. As our ancestors once did.

Speaker 14 Yeah, that was tough news.

Speaker 14 I really felt.

Speaker 14 for Billy. It's so funny.
I didn't really know who the Labor King was until you interviewed him. And

Speaker 14 it's pretty fascinating. I have to admit, that YouTube channel is pretty fascinating.
And since listening to your interview,

Speaker 14 I have eaten a little bit of bone marrow. I'm not going to kid you.
I'm not mad at it either. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, you've,

Speaker 1 we can see it. We can see the results right there.
And you're, you're, you're all natural.

Speaker 1 You're as all natural as it gets. All right.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to let you take it away because you are one of those guests where

Speaker 1 you're the best. So just take it away.
Whatever direction you want to go, you go. Thank you.

Speaker 14 Thank you, Scratchy Cat. Thank you so much.

Speaker 14 Thank you. Thank you.

Speaker 14 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

Speaker 14 and tweeted at me. And it really fucked me up, man.

Speaker 1 It really,

Speaker 14 it's something I think about

Speaker 14 about twice a day. So I'm going to really try not to say um in this interview.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 14 Fuck you, AWL Twitter person.

Speaker 14 Let's just, I've had a pretty pretty okay fantasy season. I think our team is in fourth place in that league.

Speaker 1 It's playoffs.

Speaker 14 I have to tell you, I know there are celebrities in that league. I have no idea who I'm going up against.

Speaker 14 That was not an um. That was an uh.
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.

Speaker 14 Javanta Williams went out. And it turns out Melvin Gordon was not the best handcuff.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 14 uh, 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

Speaker 14 that was a mistake.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I agree. I actually, I was highly leveraged in the Broncos space as well.
Yeah, I was thinking the moon, and it just crashed beyond my wildest dreams.

Speaker 14 You know, I don't know what happened there. I, I, I, I'm not going to say I was a Russell Wilson fan before this season but i

Speaker 14 i i i knew i i 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

Speaker 14 if you ever get an hc on there that starts cracking star wars jokes never pick up any of those players yeah ever yeah smart that's a live and learn situation for us.

Speaker 14 That fucking guy should stop talking about Star Wars and cracking jokes about Tatooine and shit and start concentrating on goal line offense.

Speaker 1 Just that. Just goal line offense.
That's all we're talking about. Yeah, well, it's just a good lesson to learn that you don't want your head coaches to have any outside interests at all, right?

Speaker 1 Besides football, you want them to just only think about football.

Speaker 14 Let's take a coach like my cousin, Kevin O'Connell, who came on your podcast and did not crack one. The closest he came to a joke was saying,

Speaker 14 Coach McI can beat Coach McVay in a race.

Speaker 1 Serious guy, very serious guy. Makes him a good football coach.

Speaker 14 Fuck. Yeah.

Speaker 14 By the way, that was so funny. Big cat, when you had Jake reading your highly offensive questions, that really made me laugh.

Speaker 14 Just when you think we've seen all the levels of PMT, you just add another one.

Speaker 1 The only thing I regret about that is we didn't explain it for the people who listen on 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.

Speaker 1 The visual was funny that I, and you know, it also works because the Vikings. We just keep trashing them and then keep having like

Speaker 1 their players and coaches on. Yeah, we got to get like Justin Jefferson on.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 14 what is your issue with the Vikings?

Speaker 1 I don't, I mean, 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Because until Taylor Heineke, he was the best quarterback that we've had.

Speaker 1 Oh, Jerry.

Speaker 1 We might have bad Wi-Fi connection in that gym. Do we lose you? Planet Fitness.
Do we lose you? Oh, we lost. All right, you're back.
You're back.

Speaker 14 No. Oh.
Yeah, I'm actually there. Sorry.
Hey, just hold on a second. Hey, bro, can you stop? Are you streaming something?

Speaker 14 Can you stop that?

Speaker 14 I'm just doing PMT.

Speaker 1 Thanks, bro.

Speaker 14 Some dude is like streaming like Ozark over there. He's like on the elliptical.

Speaker 1 Do you ever

Speaker 1 do you ever get mistaken for what's his name from Ozark?

Speaker 1 Jason Sudakis?

Speaker 1 No, Patrick Bateman, right?

Speaker 1 Jason Bateman, yes. Jason Bateman, yes.
Yes, I do.

Speaker 14 I do. I'd say I get recognized as Jason Bateman more than I get recognized as myself.

Speaker 14 And it actually comes back to sports.

Speaker 14 I was at a Dodger game a number of years ago, and I was with my friend, who's a huge Dodgers fan, who

Speaker 14 drinks a lot at Dodgers games. And Jason Bateman was sitting about 10 rows in front of us.

Speaker 14 And my friend, the drunker 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.

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 And

Speaker 14 Jason Bateman got up and was walking up the aisle.

Speaker 14 And

Speaker 14 I was very worried that my friend was going to say something or do something. He's an aggressive person.

Speaker 14 And

Speaker 14 Jason Bateman walked past, and we sort of made eye contact. And I didn't say anything.
And I gave him a nod

Speaker 14 because I try to be hard, especially at Dodger Stadium. And

Speaker 14 Jason Bateman walked past him. 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.

Speaker 14 And he went, hey, you're, you're Jerry O'Connell, right? And I went, yeah. And he went, hey, I'm Jason Bateman.
It's nice to meet you. He said,

Speaker 14 do anyone, does anyone ever say you look like me? Because people come up to me all the time and say, are you Jerry O'Connell? And I was like really touched.

Speaker 14 And my drunk aggressive friend put his hand in his face and went, nah, nah, nah. It doesn't happen.
It doesn't happen.

Speaker 1 It doesn't happen. Move on.
Move on.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 My friend has done a number of rehabs since then. And is

Speaker 14 he actually just relapsed, but he is doing better.

Speaker 1 Okay. So Jason Bateman is an AWL.
He is. We knew it.
Confirmed.

Speaker 14 Is he an AWL?

Speaker 1 Yeah, confirmed. Yeah.

Speaker 14 Wow.

Speaker 14 Okay. Wow.
I actually realized. I thought this was sort of like my area.

Speaker 1 No, he realized he was also. No, he listens.
He runs our higher stakes fantasy football team. Yeah.
The real one.

Speaker 14 Yeah.

Speaker 14 It's so rude.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 14 Let's get into some fantasy because

Speaker 14 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

Speaker 14 some

Speaker 14 things I picked up. this fantasy football season.

Speaker 1 Okay, great. Let's go.

Speaker 14 Let's start with divisions. Let's start with the AFC East, which is super exciting.
Dolphins receivers.

Speaker 14 You can pick up any Dolphins receivers, especially Waddle, who we have on our Celebrity Fantasy Football League,

Speaker 14 and Tua, but absolutely no one else. No one else.
Only Dolphins receivers.

Speaker 14 Sort of an exciting team to watch. They are leading in

Speaker 14 that division.

Speaker 14 Bills' defense

Speaker 14 has been golden. It's just so much fun, so many points.
Their receivers, and I'm so sorry, but no one else.

Speaker 14 We sort of

Speaker 14 were relying on Dawson Knox in our league, and

Speaker 14 he's really disappointed.

Speaker 14 I'm amazed that tight ends in Buffalo are not

Speaker 14 scoring more points for us. I thought we were getting a bargain there.

Speaker 1 I have him as well in a couple leagues. It hurts.

Speaker 1 I expected a lot more out of him.

Speaker 14 The Jets are back.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 14 anyone on the Jets, I said we had Brees Hall on our team. Uh,

Speaker 14 I could not pick up Carter, someone snatched him away from us, so I didn't have any handcuffs there. I love,

Speaker 14 I love me some handcuffs. Their defense, I play them in our league almost every week.
Um, I cannot wait to see the game this weekend. It's going to be really, it's

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 1 I got a question for you. As Jets fan, Billy said that Zach Wilson's ceiling is Patrick Mahomes.
Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 14 I listened to the article. I listened to

Speaker 14 the show.

Speaker 14 I think Billy is

Speaker 14 not

Speaker 14 right.

Speaker 14 I think he is completely incorrect. I love it.
I love that that was a quotable

Speaker 14 point, but

Speaker 14 know, I tend to agree. I forget who said it there.
It's funny.

Speaker 14 I was looking at a photo because all the articles right now are about our sort of like Zach Wilson sort of standing on the sidelines of practice. And whoever said it,

Speaker 14 he is too hot to be a starting QA. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's got to play tougher if he's going to be that hot. He looks like he has a Instagram filter on at all times.
He's very boyish. Yeah, right.

Speaker 14 He actually, you know, I am an actor here in Los Angeles. We go to the gym a lot.
We work on our fitness.

Speaker 14 Chest and buys, chest and buys.

Speaker 14 And

Speaker 14 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 like, who is this dude?

Speaker 14 Someone who just came from like a small town and is like going to 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 going to go their way.

Speaker 14 And then, before you know it, they're hooking. And then you see them on Hollywood Boulevard, and they're selling their bodies, you know?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 14 He looks like he's like,

Speaker 1 He's right there. He looks like he's at the edge of the cliff.

Speaker 14 He looks like he just got off the bus in Hollywood, and he thinks he's going to make it as an actor. And

Speaker 14 within weeks, he'll be hustling.

Speaker 1 Yeah, his dreams are about to get shattered. He does look like

Speaker 1 a boyfriend from Gilmore Girls that broke up with one of the chicks because, I don't know, she wasn't rich enough. Yeah.
And he's going off to law school or something. He does have Georgetown Law.

Speaker 1 That CW vibe to him for sure. That's a good description for him.

Speaker 14 Yeah, he just does. And he's not doing it.
And he's a disaster. And

Speaker 14 Mike White might be the future.

Speaker 1 He might be the future.

Speaker 14 Yeah. I can't wait for this Sunday.
It's going to be a great game. It's going to be a great game.
I actually

Speaker 14 think I picked.

Speaker 14 Oh, God, what was the spread? I had it here. Oh, the spread currently is Vikings giving three.

Speaker 14 And

Speaker 14 I think I'm going to take the Vikings there.

Speaker 1 Ooh. Yeah.
I mean, 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 I always invest in Mike White too late after the market has already topped off. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 14 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?

Speaker 14 You know, it's, it's almost like, 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.

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 And, you know, and then you have to like call your doctor and say, just put in the prescription. And then your doctor's like, you have to come in.
And you're like, I can't come in.

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 We just hope it's not the weekend you're betting in the Jets.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right, right. It's a timing game.
Yes. Okay.

Speaker 14 All right. Let's keep moving on.
The Patriots. I'm so sorry, Hank.
Ramondre and no one else no one else um have a lot of issues with that team this year um

Speaker 14 uh afc north the ravens obviously mark andrews but um

Speaker 14 everyone else are just they're just capping too much on this app and the motherfucker never smelt the football field they never did but eat thick you know i mean just i'm sorry

Speaker 14 uh the bengals anyone i'm really high on the bengals you said it on your podcast as well they're gonna make a run uh the browns get ready for this everyone and i don't care if i get canceled for saying this even this weekend everyone everyone i know i feel like i feel like i'm in a few leagues he's been sitting on my bench i feel like i'm starting harvey weinstein i'm gonna get in trouble obviously because uh one of the leagues is my work league and hr is omnipresent and

Speaker 1 i'm starting him i'm starting harvey weinstein wow listen it's it's about the uh the score at the end of the day right points or points

Speaker 14 By the way,

Speaker 14 they could make a run with that team right now. We have no idea.
No.

Speaker 14 No.

Speaker 14 Come on, guys.

Speaker 1 They have a ground gate.

Speaker 14 They have a ground game. They have receivers.
They have a defense.

Speaker 14 The one missing piece was Harvey Weinstein. He's coming in.

Speaker 1 All right. You know what?

Speaker 1 Fuck it. Yeah, they can make a run.
Why not?

Speaker 14 He is. Harvey Weinstein is an exciting player.

Speaker 1 He is.

Speaker 14 The Steelers, 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 the Steelers. No one.
That Monday night game was atrocious.

Speaker 14 AFC South,

Speaker 14 the Titans, anyone on the Titans, anyone. Really? Traylon Burks is amazing.

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 Absolutely no one on the Colts. The Jags, you know, I love me some Jaguars, guys, and I was a little sour on them.

Speaker 14 I'm back on the Jags train. I love them.

Speaker 1 So everybody, like, we're talking

Speaker 1 everyone. I love.

Speaker 14 Etienne, you gotta, yeah, I love me a handcuff. I love handcuffs.

Speaker 14 1-800, no cuffs. But

Speaker 14 you got to handcuff him with Hasty, Jamichael Hastie. I think his foot injury is worse than they're living on to be.
And

Speaker 14 I'm starting at Tien this weekend. Not in our league.
By the way, you're welcome for picking up Ken Walker

Speaker 14 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

Speaker 14 five of that league.

Speaker 1 That's a huge pickup. Yeah, Jerry, just real quick, you mentioned that we were four in the league earlier, and you just said top five.

Speaker 1 I don't have any reason to doubt what you're saying, but that's, it seems like you would have said top four if we were actually number four.

Speaker 14 We've been bouncing from fourth to fifth there. And

Speaker 14 I actually, I 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

Speaker 14 throwing out some fake news out there or anything.

Speaker 1 Are we in any danger of missing the playoffs?

Speaker 14 I don't think so. I don't believe so.
I believe we're going to make the playoffs. And then it's

Speaker 14 anyone's game. And then

Speaker 14 it's anyone's game.

Speaker 14 It's like being in the top 16. Yeah, we

Speaker 14 World Cup.

Speaker 1 Do we have Harvey Weinstein in this league?

Speaker 14 No.

Speaker 1 Oh, got it. Okay.
All right. Good.
We can get someone else. I was wondering.

Speaker 1 I've actually blacklisted him where you're not allowed to pick him up in our league.

Speaker 14 Some other sick fuck picked him up and has him on his bench. And it's terrible because you're,

Speaker 14 I mean, it's terrible that someone picked him up and has been holding on to him this long.

Speaker 1 Um,

Speaker 14 the Texans, absolutely

Speaker 14 no one on the Texans. I want to apologize.

Speaker 14 Uh, 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

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 1 Um, shit, damn it,

Speaker 14 you man you uh afc west 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 a masochist

Speaker 14 because i'm into like getting spank 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.

Speaker 14 There was one of the most satisfying things to me this football season was that

Speaker 14 was he a defensive lineman yelling at

Speaker 14 Did you try to break down what Russell Wilson said back to him?

Speaker 1 Like we're gonna we're gonna get him or like he's just like yeah, sorry, sir.

Speaker 14 God, Richard Sherman was so right.

Speaker 1 Hey, it's PFT here reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 1 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer or you create your own spread at home with Boar's Head premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 1 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 1 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 You can get them in the cheap price on Daily Fantasy, and they seem to score points.

Speaker 14 My only issue is, why does Taylor Heineke hate Curtis Samuel? What is going on there? Why won't he...

Speaker 14 What is the deal with him not liking Curtis Samuel?

Speaker 1 I think it's just we're 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 like pop pass or get he's the gadget guy.

Speaker 1 You know how like 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.

Speaker 14 NFC North, everybody except I'm so sorry,

Speaker 14 Scratchy Cat, no bears.

Speaker 1 Don't like that. Yeah, Justin Fields is a monster, but.

Speaker 14 Yeah.

Speaker 14 I don't, I mean, I just, I'm not sure i'd start you know playoffs are starting in a couple weeks some 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 just like i'm a real like you know i live in la like you go on vibes and feelings the nfc south really grosses me out it just

Speaker 14 it just it's not worth breaking your whole family up over and coming back and playing it's just not

Speaker 14 it's just it just all those games are just gross you know you get a bad vibe from

Speaker 14 a division and it's just no one

Speaker 1 these are the games when the nfc south plays like monday night football bucks versus saints

Speaker 1 those are the games you 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

Speaker 14 and 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.

Speaker 14 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,

Speaker 14 specifically with my wife. I'm really like pushing it because we've had Thursday night,

Speaker 14 we've had, you know, Sunday, all day, all night, and now we're pushing it into Monday.

Speaker 14 And if you're going to waste it on, you know, a Panthers-Falcons game, it's just,

Speaker 14 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, it's eating.

Speaker 1 It's not worth it. 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.

Speaker 1 Let me have the really good cheat meal.

Speaker 14 Wow. Like, looking back,

Speaker 14 should he just stay married to her and said, I'm not coming back?

Speaker 1 I mean, yeah. I mean, it's like one of the

Speaker 1 all-time bad decisions

Speaker 1 in world history.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 But is this season? Isn't this Tom Brady just like us? Like,

Speaker 1 we just want to be left alone and watch/slash-play football? We're basically the same guy.

Speaker 14 Well, I have to tell you what's funny is:

Speaker 14 my immediate take on the whole situation was

Speaker 14 what, like,

Speaker 14 what is this chick talking about? This guy is Tom Brady.

Speaker 14 Let him play.

Speaker 14 Like,

Speaker 14 if I was in a relationship, if my wife said to me,

Speaker 14 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. My, because my wife is an actress.
You can look it up.

Speaker 14 I have to do this movie with Robert De Niro. I'd be like, honey, go.
Like, do it.

Speaker 14 Please go.

Speaker 14 I was immediately team Tom, but I was amazed, like coming to work and sitting around the water cooler.

Speaker 14 So many people were like, It's really fucked up that he took his promise back. And 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.

Speaker 14 This is the stuff that Disney movies are made of.

Speaker 14 And

Speaker 14 that said,

Speaker 14 I am married to

Speaker 14 a

Speaker 14 former supermodel. My wife is no longer modeling.
That's not to say that I love her just as much. Like, I don't put labels on people.
My wife is my supermodel, always will be.

Speaker 14 Just to edit that part, just like, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 she's still supermodel to you.

Speaker 14 My wife is a supermodel. Yep.

Speaker 1 Three, two, one, go.

Speaker 1 Say your wife is a supermodel.

Speaker 14 And

Speaker 14 my wife is a supermodel and

Speaker 14 hates, hates it when I work a lot. And

Speaker 14 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

Speaker 14 i'm not at home why am i looking around my wife gets

Speaker 14 very angry at me when I'm working a lot. And it's like, what do you want from me? I've been here for years.
Like,

Speaker 14 and so I was very much Team Tom Brady. And

Speaker 14 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,

Speaker 14 what's the biggie?

Speaker 14 What's the biggie?

Speaker 14 I still don't understand it.

Speaker 14 Well, that's the difference.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 14 He'd be streaming season three of Mandalorian. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But then again, that's what makes him the best football player of the world.

Speaker 14 Oh, you know what's going to be fun is my wife is Dutch. So, oh, fuck.

Speaker 14 All I have to hear about for the next three days is like, oh, you know, Holland is like her my all my in-laws and everything everything call up.

Speaker 14 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 Jan Yap, they'll never listen to this, they're all in Holland.

Speaker 14 Um, I have a cousin named Yon Yap who called up and was like, Yes, uh, the uh, you know, because uh, Holland is orange, the orange men are going to uh take down the USA.

Speaker 14 Yeah, you're gonna feel the pain. First, you uh don't have gun control, and now you're going to lose to us.

Speaker 1 I have heard that Dutch people don't understand humor, that they just don't

Speaker 1 jokes.

Speaker 14 Oh, gosh, like my in-laws like try. It's so sad.
They're like, Yes, you have

Speaker 14 in America, your team is going to lose, and you have terrible eating habits.

Speaker 14 Well, let me say this: like, if you go to Holland, I've been to Holland for the World Cup, and it is incredible.

Speaker 14 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

Speaker 14 crazy. I was in Holland for the World Cup with my wife and my in-laws and all these people,

Speaker 14 and they are fucking, I'm talking old ladies, young people in the streets, passed out, vomit. I will never forget after Holland won some World Cup eight years ago.
There was a like a hot girl.

Speaker 14 They're hot in Holland.

Speaker 14 And like her dress was like hyped up, and she was passed out in the street.

Speaker 14 And I was like, these, like, they literally,

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 They're crazy. They literally make walking into Link Field or, you know,

Speaker 14 MetLife seem like you're walking into like a fine dining like black tie affair. They're fucking savages outside of the United States.
Savages.

Speaker 1 They love their soccer. They love their soccer.

Speaker 1 All right, where are we?

Speaker 14 We're at the

Speaker 14 NFC West.

Speaker 14 NE Niners and Seahawks. The Niners are so exciting.
It's been 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.

Speaker 14 I get a little grossed out by those games.

Speaker 14 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

Speaker 14 it's so funny.

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 My gambling career started with horse racing, believe it or not. I love horse racing.
I love going to the track.

Speaker 1 I too.

Speaker 14 It's unfortunately a sport that is really

Speaker 14 losing popular. I mean, you know, 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

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 So we have a joke, like if they see a horse shit, let's bet on that horse because it feels light.

Speaker 14 And

Speaker 14 but

Speaker 14 I just love horse racing. And it's so funny.
My, I got it from my father. My father loved horse racing, loves horse racing.
And

Speaker 14 I read a book

Speaker 14 in the 90s called The Right Horse. And it was a, it was a wagering book and had a wager in horse racing.
And it's called The Right Horse. And it basically said

Speaker 14 exotics.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 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

Speaker 14 I'm just a believer in that, you know? I try to.

Speaker 1 I agree.

Speaker 1 I mean, I like to do parlays, but if you like a bet, just bet a bet. I completely agree.

Speaker 14 I mean, if we're really in this to win bets,

Speaker 14 just one, just one bet.

Speaker 14 Just one.

Speaker 1 You know what I found, though, Jerry? Sometimes when I'm gambling, I'm not, I like to win. The idea is to win.
But just getting mad about a loss can be fun, too.

Speaker 1 I've learned to almost enjoy

Speaker 1 getting mad

Speaker 1 when I lose a game that I thought I was going to win.

Speaker 14 It's loser talk. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 14 What you're doing is loser talk.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 14 We all work hard. We all commute to work.
That money is ours.

Speaker 14 Like, it's loser talk. Oh, man.
Actually, I had a really fun bet this year.

Speaker 14 I bet the Jets to have more than six wins. And it

Speaker 14 fucking hit, man. And it fucking hit.
Those are fun bets.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Man.
I feel like a genius. Yeah.

Speaker 14 Hell yeah. Oh, 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.

Speaker 1 Love it.

Speaker 14 But

Speaker 14 let me go through some bets this weekend,

Speaker 14 some games this weekend that I really like. San 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.

Speaker 14 Yep. And

Speaker 14 I just, I think San Francisco is good.

Speaker 14 Chargers are going to beat the Raiders, I think.

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 Chiefs and Bengals, man, this is such a good weekend for the NFL. It is.

Speaker 1 Such a great weekend for sports.

Speaker 14 Oh, you know what's so funny?

Speaker 14 The Colts are going to cover over Dallas. I don't know.
I just think, you know, my book was giving 11 points

Speaker 14 last I checked.

Speaker 14 And I just think the Colts are going to cover.

Speaker 1 It's a lot of points.

Speaker 1 A lot of points. They pay those guys to play football, too.

Speaker 14 Hey, you know, Kat, can I ask you something personal? And you can, like, chop this out.

Speaker 14 You know, my kids are a little older, so it's actually,

Speaker 14 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.

Speaker 14 I feel like they're Billy at a pickup game in Hoboken. But

Speaker 14 is it like you, you, you seem to work so much. Yeah.
Does

Speaker 14 your family complain at all? Like, no.

Speaker 1 Like, because it's football season is the majority of it. Like, and I also do go home.

Speaker 1 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.
Because

Speaker 14 you'll come back for the Amazon games?

Speaker 1 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 like 8 o'clock? It's like, well, they're asleep.

Speaker 1 But yeah, I'm getting to the point where my son is at the age where

Speaker 1 when I'm like, I got to go to work, he's like, do you really have to go to work? And that sucks.

Speaker 14 And the missus is okay when you come home and she's just watching 90-day Beyoncé and sort of angrily sitting there on the couch, like, where have you been?

Speaker 14 And you maybe have like, oh, you smell, there's a few cores lights on your breath and like she's okay with all this?

Speaker 1 No, because I'm working. Yeah, there's no core lights.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, because it's.

Speaker 1 She can see where I've been. She can pull up a stream.

Speaker 1 I'm sitting with Frank the Tank for four hours. I don't think, I think most,

Speaker 1 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 a,

Speaker 1 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 the meme.

Speaker 1 I bet he's with other women right now. Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 And then the guy's just thinking, like, uh-oh, here comes another Mets collapse. Yeah.
I'm just sitting between Doug's and Frank. And it's like, I love those guys, and I enjoy it.

Speaker 1 I have the best job in the world, but I don't think there's,

Speaker 1 oh man, like, what, you know, why aren't you home

Speaker 1 at nine o'clock, you know, when the kids are asleep? Yeah, it's tough.

Speaker 14 Yeah. Last week,

Speaker 14 especially for Mike White's debut, I had to go to a fucking brunch and

Speaker 14 I had to sit there the whole time. And

Speaker 14 it's just,

Speaker 14 it's funny. If I ever do,

Speaker 14 you know,

Speaker 14 go to

Speaker 14 therapy, couples therapy, 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? Like

Speaker 1 a couple more quarters. That's tough, though.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You can still go out to a brunch and pretend that you're being social during the day. On

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 14 I have to have a discussion about whether we're going to have the regular eggs benny or the

Speaker 14 veggie eggs benny. It's highly annoying.
Hey, guys,

Speaker 14 I always write a little something for Billy every time I come on here.

Speaker 1 That?

Speaker 10 That's the sound of extremely processed dog food, which is the norm at most pet food companies. But at the farmer's Farmer's Dog, we do things differently.

Speaker 15 We gently cook our food without ultra-processing.

Speaker 10 It's developed by our team of board-certified nutritionists, made to human-grade safety standards, and portioned for your dog, then delivered right to your door. How does that sound to you?

Speaker 15 Get 50% off your first box, available only at thefarmersdog.com.

Speaker 14 I do, but I felt like, um,

Speaker 14 A, I was running out of material.

Speaker 14 B, he was out last week with COVID.

Speaker 14 So I didn't have

Speaker 14 a lot of material on him. So I thought I'd change things up and

Speaker 14 I'd write a little poem for Hank.

Speaker 1 Oh, Hank, Hank's actually, he is being a boss right now. Hold on.
Let's see if he's here.

Speaker 14 Oh, is he corporate Hank?

Speaker 1 He's in a very important meeting about

Speaker 1 what they're going to talk about the next meeting. So

Speaker 1 I'm going to call him real quick and see if he can come in because.

Speaker 14 Wow, corporate Hank.

Speaker 1 Corporate Hank, yeah.

Speaker 1 We're going to hit him on his hip real quick. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's probably doing some very important shit. His out-of-office replies on.

Speaker 1 Yes, look, he doesn't even pick up.

Speaker 1 This is our relationship now, Jerry. He doesn't even pick up my phone calls.
He's so corporate.

Speaker 1 He's such a bummer. Yo, yo.

Speaker 1 Are you in the office right now? No. Oh

Speaker 1 Okay, Jerry wants to keep him on speakerphone. Jerry has a poem for for you.
You want to hear it?

Speaker 1 Sure. Okay, hold on.

Speaker 14 Don't get

Speaker 14 too excited.

Speaker 1 Hey, can you just join the Zoom on your phone?

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Okay, just join the Zoom real quick.
That sounds like he's in a meeting right now. That was the, yeah, I guess I can.

Speaker 1 I wrote a poem for him in reality.

Speaker 14 I know. No, but no, but I mean, why is he not more excited? Like, if I wrote a a poem for him, he should be like, oh my gosh, yeah, I'm coming on right now.

Speaker 1 Jerry, I agree. Jerry, I agree.

Speaker 1 I agree. It's disgusting.

Speaker 1 Let me just do a quick one.

Speaker 14 What does Billy think of my form? Billy, critique me.

Speaker 9 It's hard to have bad form on a Smith machine.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. No, it's fast.
Fuck you.

Speaker 14 I love the Smith.

Speaker 14 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 while.

Speaker 9 We should 100% do that.

Speaker 1 That'd be real. Get Muscle Beach together.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was closed last time we were there for the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Well, this is going to be indoors, right? Yeah. It's going to be in Minnesota.

Speaker 9 Viking Stadium, U.S. Bank, is kind of a pretty hard place to play in.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It was like a real issue.

Speaker 14 It's a bummer.

Speaker 1 All right, Hanks. It's a bummer.

Speaker 14 Henry, Henry, Henry, no matter what you do or say, the Patriots are strictly middle tier.

Speaker 14 Henry, Henry, Henry, shout out to Coach Belichick, who, like you, is pretty tightly wound.

Speaker 14 Henry, Henry, Henry, maybe he should stop hiring his children and running that franchise to the ground.

Speaker 14 Henry, Henry, Henry, the Tom Giselle split must be hard for you to cover.

Speaker 14 Henry, Henry, Henry, maybe they'd still be together if your boy was a more attentive lover.

Speaker 14 And Henry, Henry, Henry, in no way did you ever, ever puke at a blackjack table.

Speaker 1 It didn't happen.

Speaker 14 Henry, Henry, Henry, always bringing wisdom and never sounding dumb.

Speaker 14 Henry, Henry, Henry, even if you can't pronounce the word interim,

Speaker 1 We love you. There you go.
That was beautiful. We love you, DMT.

Speaker 1 Wow. And Jerry,

Speaker 1 you didn't say anything about him not getting the lottery ball machine.

Speaker 3 That's what I was waiting for.

Speaker 14 I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 3 I thought it was just going to be about that.

Speaker 14 Jerry, do you have a bill on the nose?

Speaker 14 I try and go to C, not A to B. I try to go A to C.

Speaker 1 Jerry, do you have a number that you want to? Yeah, why don't we finish that? Give us a number. This won't count for anyone but you.

Speaker 14 33. All right.

Speaker 1 Okay. Only counts for Jerry.
No one else gets to guess. Let's go, Jerry.
Come on, Jerry. I hope 33 hits.

Speaker 1 Oh, I just saw it come by. Wait, wait.

Speaker 1 Oh, 37. Closer than Hank's ever gotten.
Great job. Danny Woodhead.
Yeah.

Speaker 14 all right jerry you're the best thank you i love you i'll talk to you after we win that championship

Speaker 1 all right thanks jerry love you jerry all right so

Speaker 1 you always leave so fast

Speaker 1 What's up, guys? It's Big Cat here making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey. How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 1 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 1 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt. Age four years in bourbon barrels.
Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 1 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish Apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 1 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.
All right, let's wrap up Fire Fest of the week. Sending everyone on their way.
Great football weekend.

Speaker 1 Hank, start us off.

Speaker 1 Uh-oh. No, I mean, it's not uh-oh.

Speaker 3 I just need to preface it. Like, obviously, I've been working here for 10 years.
I've been on the internet for a long time.

Speaker 3 I've had everything about...

Speaker 1 I don't think you, do you? Yeah.

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 1 The picture?

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 Doesn't really phase me, you know, in one ear, out the other.

Speaker 3 We posted a video on Cyber Monday.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 3 We were recreating the lads video, singing the I'll be your wish, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy.

Speaker 3 Funny video. Someone commented on it and said, Hank reminds me of Grandpa Joe from Charlie and the Charlie factory.

Speaker 1 Oh, no.

Speaker 3 And it's rattled me ever since. Like, it wasn't like, it wasn't like you're ugly or like your face looks weird.

Speaker 3 It's like, you, a 29-year-old, able-bodied person, remind me of the dude that can't move in Charlie and the Charlie factory.

Speaker 1 I did eventually. Yeah, he just waited for his fucking grandkid to get a ticket and he popped right up.

Speaker 3 It didn't even make sense. And it was just, it just, it cut me to my core.
Those are hurtful. Like, it's not like, you know, you're fat, big cat.

Speaker 3 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 an old

Speaker 1 increpid grandpa.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no. I was using an example.
I was using an example. Oh, yeah, I was using an example.
Yeah, I got you. Fat fuck.
Yeah. Yeah.
I will say the top.

Speaker 1 All of the top comments were roasting me in that video.

Speaker 3 Right, but those were, that's what I'm saying. Like, I'm used to the roast.
It's just like it's the ones that kind of come out of nowhere that catch you off guard and stick with you.

Speaker 3 Like, I'm used to the normal roast. Those don't phase me.

Speaker 3 This one, for whatever reason, had just like, I don't, I don't even know what in me reminded them of Grandpa Joe.

Speaker 1 Yeah, those, though, 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.

Speaker 1 That always stuck with me.

Speaker 1 There's just certain ones that you just can't get rid of. And you're just like, all right.
That's just what it is now.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Grandpa Joe. Yeah.
I don't.

Speaker 9 The creative one.

Speaker 1 I got to be honest, I've never seen that movie. Oh, really? It's a great movie.

Speaker 1 I don't understand.

Speaker 9 Wait, from the original or the new movie?

Speaker 1 He literally just lays in bed. Yeah.
Oh.

Speaker 1 Well, that's not that good. With all of his brothers and sisters and weirdos and brother-in-laws and just, ugh.

Speaker 1 All right, PFT, your Fire Fest. My Fire Fest of the week is I forgot that I have to go to Panama tonight.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I got back from Qatar, beautiful country. Shout out to Ymir 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 gonna fly down there tonight I'm going to stay until Saturday evening so that means I'm gonna 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 gonna get back on a plane fly back to the US and I'm gonna be asleep by like 11 o'clock p.m.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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? You go to the next one? No, direct. Okay.

Speaker 1 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 because I'm going there.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So if anybody knows anything to do in Panama, let me know. I hear you're going to be there.
Yeah. What was that, Hank?

Speaker 1 If anyone knows anything to do, let you know you'll be there for four seconds. Yeah, but Hank gave me a look.
So it was like, hey, there's a really cool thing you could do.

Speaker 1 Go to the canal, is what Hank was about to say. Go to the canal.
So Hank's a big engineering guy. No, I mean, there's a lot of great countries around there around Panama.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to one of them, though, which is Panama.

Speaker 9 Yeah. Don't like fuck around and get in prison in Panama.

Speaker 1 Dude, I just got back from

Speaker 9 the beginning. Oh, I just got through Qatar.
I'm going to be like, this is Panama. This is

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Fortunately, I'm not a drug guy, so I'll be okay.

Speaker 9 Good.

Speaker 1 Right. Maybe just for a night, I'll be there.
Any TSA people people listening, he's not. I'm not.
Right. Officially not.
Officially not. All right.
My Firefest is I lost my voice. I jinxed it.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And it was a really bad set of circumstances where Cyber Monday came right after we had,

Speaker 1 you know, 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.

Speaker 1 The worst part was just not being able to talk shit to troops during the World Cup. Yeah, well, don't worry.
I mean, our play talked enough shit to

Speaker 1 out of him. 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.
Those are done. Billy.

Speaker 9 My Fire Fest is I got pretty goddamn sick.

Speaker 9 Worst sickness since

Speaker 1 when you started COVID in Italy?

Speaker 9 I got the flu. It wasn't wasn't COVID.
In 2020? And it just put me down.

Speaker 9 It wasn't sneezy or coffee. It was just achy.

Speaker 1 The aches, I think those are the worst symptoms that you can get.

Speaker 9 Yeah, it was physically debilitating. I usually can be

Speaker 9 a super spreader when I'm sick, but this one put me down for the count.

Speaker 9 And then also the whole Zach Wilson stuff.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, that thing.
Yeah, you've been very wrong about that. It came at a good time, honestly.

Speaker 9 It's just like,

Speaker 9 I think 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.

Speaker 9 And Mike White got the start. And now Mike White's getting that shine where he could have.
And I want Mike White to take this team to the playoffs and win a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 And I think he can.

Speaker 9 So all my support is behind Mike White.

Speaker 1 Sounds like you're just back in that hole. Yeah.
You're in the Jets hole.

Speaker 9 I'm always in the hole. Get in that hole.

Speaker 1 Jake, finish us off.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 It was huffing and puffing across the court.

Speaker 1 And you have asthma, right?

Speaker 8 I have allergies. But they're bad in Florida.

Speaker 1 I think, yeah, there's probably some asthma allergies.

Speaker 8 They're bad. So, yeah.

Speaker 8 I miss layups and get really mad.

Speaker 1 Oh. I want to see you.
Show us some mad, bro. Show us mad.

Speaker 8 Can't say it on this podcast.

Speaker 1 Oh, I mean, you already said you want to fuck chicks.

Speaker 8 That was you.

Speaker 1 That was primal. That was primal.
That was primal.

Speaker 1 Wait, so you you don't want to fuck chicks?

Speaker 1 I mean.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Let's do numbers. Hank, have you ever gotten this?

Speaker 8 Oh, we have a submission from Sebastian.

Speaker 1 Oh, nice.

Speaker 8 His first submission is 44.

Speaker 1 44. Hank, have you ever gotten this?

Speaker 3 No, I'm going to go 17.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. That's never going to hit.
Oh, man. I go 64 again.

Speaker 3 This was obviously the most

Speaker 3 requested. Shout out to the people on the list.
This was the most requested number.

Speaker 1 A lot of people have pointed out that if Hank was doing a survivor pool with the balls, he would actually be kicking the shit out of me. Yeah, he would.
It would be remarkable. Someone was like,

Speaker 1 Someone was like,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It no longer becomes a bit when we have $5,000 on this. 13 left.
And also, like, that's just not.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 95.

Speaker 1 64. 18.

Speaker 1 20.

Speaker 9 Can we review if he doesn't get it? Does he get money?

Speaker 1 No. Oh.
No. Never.
He owes us money if he doesn't get it.

Speaker 3 78. Oh, that's 70.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 78. That's two out of three 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.

Speaker 1 It's never been easier. That's crazy.

Speaker 8 We've had like five numbers in the last like 12 shows.

Speaker 1 That is crazy. And Hank still hasn't gotten it.
Ball game rigged.

Speaker 9 If you put a sock on an Ebu or ostrich's head, it calms him down.

Speaker 1 Go USA.

Speaker 1 I'm not what got to stay up today anyway.

Speaker 1 I've been coming for your love of king.

Speaker 1 Shining.

Speaker 1 I've been coming for your love of king.

Speaker 1 needless to say.

Speaker 1 I all said it.

Speaker 1 I'll be somewhere in love with you.

Speaker 1 Still I learned my eyes okay.

Speaker 1 Say after me.

Speaker 1 It's no better to be saved than sorry.

Speaker 1 Say after me.

Speaker 1 It's no better to be saved than sorry.

Speaker 1 Take

Speaker 1 on

Speaker 1 me.

Speaker 1 I'm

Speaker 1 Things that you say

Speaker 1 isn't allowed.

Speaker 1 Just a flame of hurrying light.

Speaker 1 You're all the things I've got to remember.

Speaker 1 Be shining and away.

Speaker 1 Love me, come and be moving like

Speaker 1 shy and away.

Speaker 1 Love me coming with you, many light.

Speaker 1 feel

Speaker 1 on me
