I miss you guys so much. I can't believe this.
I met some real cool people here. And then tomorrow morning they're going to log on and be like, oh.
Yeah. Still here.
And the Packers are still dead. It's going to be hard for airlines to get skull fucked.
Oh, man. Thoughts and prayers to journalists.
Thoughts and prayers, actually, to Adam Schefter. Yeah.
That's going to be tough for Schefter. And Revelle.
Revelle. Oh, my God.
Good. It was all worth it for Twitter to die if it makes Revelle sad for one day.
Yeah. Twitter is dead if people didn't hear.
I think we actually have a lot of listeners who aren't on Twitter, and I respect the fuck out of those people. Yeah, I do, too.
They just live their life. They listen to the podcast.
They get some really dumb takes from us. Maybe a few laughs, hopefully, and they go on with their life.
They don't have to deal with anything. I love it too.
I wish I could be like you. But yeah, it might be dead.
It might not be, but we're still here. Well, you know what is dead? The Green Bay Packers.
Aaron Rodgers looks like he's playing poorly on purpose.

That's how bad he's playing tonight.

He's playing like if Derek Carr summoned the spirit of slutty Andy Dalton for Halloween.

Yeah.

He's very bad right now.

He's dressing up.

He's cosplaying as a bad quarterback.

Yeah, the Packers, it felt like they were.

This was, you know, last week they had that big win against the Cowboys. They put two in a row and maybe they have something cooking.
Nope. The Tennessee Titans go in there and just do what Tennessee Titans do.
I mean, Mike Vrabel, there isn't, you can't say enough about him. Like, he just, his team every single year is not as talented top to bottom as everyone else.
And he just wins big games as an underdog, games where people think that they have no chance. Even that Chiefs game that they almost won.
Coach of the year. It's something about him.
He just gets them ready for a fight, and he just makes games miserable for the other team, and they fist fight him for 60 minutes, and most of the time they come out with a win. And it's Tractor Cito season.
And the streak continues for Tractor Cito. In games where he has at least one reception, the Titans are undefeated.
And they did it early. In games that he has zero receptions, they lose every time.
They did it early, and so it gave people an opportunity to hit that live money line on the Titans. And he threw a touchdown.
And he threw a touchdown, yeah. He did it all today.
Yeah. He threw a touchdown.
He did everything. They emptied the kitchen sink on their ass.
I liked his jump pass that he did because most guys, when they do the jump pass, they don't get that deep into the line of scrimmage before they throw it. Yeah.
He almost got swallowed up, and he looked pretty cool wearing the Judon sleeves. Yep.
And we also had a great, even, like, it's even funnier when it doesn't result in a horrific loss but the ryan tannahill interception with a perfect form tackle i love it like it was it's a perfect night for for the titans because they they even had that play which they always dread happen and they still survived it and win somewhat easily and the The Packers are dead. They're dead.
The Packers are dead. You dead you can bury them i don't i still don't think i can bury them i'm gonna bury i'm officially saying get out the sand oh no they play the eagles get the shovel yeah go out to the backyard start a bonfire their next game's against the eagles they're dead that's a that's dead put the packers on a boat like the boat on fire.
Push it out into the waves of lake, whatever it is, and say goodbye, Green Bay Packers. See you, bitches.
Sayonara. This is Kirk Cousins' division now.
They're playing at the Eagles, and then they're probably going to beat the Bears, and that will suck because even in our worst season, we'll beat you twice. But that's fine.
You're dead. You're dead.
And Packers fans know it. They know they're dead.

They know it's dead.

There's no chance, right?

I'm not asking this.

This is me, like, scaredly saying, like, he's dead, right?

Listen, I don't hate the Packers.

I don't hate Aaron Rodgers.

I do.

You cover those things enough for the two of us on this podcast.

But I do think that they're dead,

and I do think that it's time to put Jordan Love in that quarterback.

Yeah, give him a shot. Give him a shot.
Do you think Aaron Rodgers would take getting benched well, or do you think he would take it poorly? I would imagine not well. Probably the latter.
Yeah, would be the choice there. I don't want to be a body language expert, but it's a curse that I have an eye for body language, and he's just not interested right now.
He not looking like he's having fun and he thought he had the blip of christian watson being like the guy um and then it was back to trying to dump it off to randall cobb and you know lazard missing passes and then it i feel like all the packers losses this year go the same way where their wide receivers drop a couple passes like, fuck this. I'm just going to miss them.
It would be so funny, though, if the Packers had a bad season, which they are having, and Christian Watson won rookie of the year. Oh.
Because right now, Christian Watson, he's probably not going to. It's probably going to go to either Pierce, maybe Walker.
Kenneth Walker, yeah. One of those two, probably.
Our two favorite running backs. Maybe George Pickens.
Maybe George Pickens. Probably not.
But it could go to him because the last like three weeks, I think in just the last three weeks, he's got more touchdown catches. It could go to him.
He's got more touchdown catches than any other rookie wide receiver that there is. So if this trend continues, he could get offensive rookie of the year.
And that would be very funny if the Packers stunk. He got offensive rookie of the year, and then Aaron Rodgers couldn't complain about not having weapons.
Yes. Because guess what? You have the offensive rookie of the year.
You have the offensive rookie of the year. I'm trying to think.
Are we saying this is a decent game? It was a decent game because we've had some stinkers on Thursday Night Football. It got better in the second half.
It was compelling for a moment, which is better than what we've had. It was compelling for a moment.
It was okay in the second half. It was not as bad as some of the ones that we've seen, like the Colts-Broncos game, but then that one got so bad that it was good at the end.
This one almost was just like, I give it a B-. B- b minus grade by the way speaking of offensive rookie of the year he's not going to win it either but trailing burks for the titans had an awesome game he is a rookie from arkansas he was very good and that's like if the titans can get a little bit of a passing game going yeah is it weird that i like the titans yeah i i kind of like the titans i feel like they i feel like they're gonna make some noise why i don't like him as a one seed but i like him coming into the playoffs under the radar yeah yeah they live under the radar they should be an under the radar they should just like if it's the titans could win the super bowl if you just made them five point underdogs for every single one of their playoff absolutely and and i think that they they're like better on the road than they are at home, too.
So, yes, they could make some noise. They're the kings of under the radar.
Yep. They could fly very safely through Poland.
Okay, so this is our – I know we missed a couple Thursday night games in a row because of scheduling and traveling. We could have just predicted this one.
Yeah, not to brag. I kind of did predict it.
We could have just predicted this and just been like, we could have been in bed two hours ago. Yeah, but you know what? It was fun to watch Aaron Rodgers die again.
You know what? We don't half-ass things on this podcast. That's true.
We use our whole ass. We're hardcore.
Elon, sign us up. Hardcore employees with big asses.
Yes. Okay.
Let's kick it to ourselves uh we got a great show picks and preview for week 11 mjf fire fest hank gets the lottery ball correct spoiler alert wow no no i guess you'll have to tune in to see what are you what are you shaking your head for just mean but you got it oh we don't know we actually haven't done we're about to do it so okay yeah fuck it 17 this is second one we're giving an extra one this is stupid of me this is stupid of me yes this is real give me 11 we already did it earlier or later on in the show he didn't get that well no you don't know if he got that two for two he might have gotten wait No yeah this would be for us to get our money back yeah we're gonna get our money back because if you get this they're calling it mickey mouse no no no this is i don't give a fuck that ball machine comes up 17 it's mine hank hank knows that uh my weakness is that i i love the thrill of a little gamble it's not a secret to anyone so he anyone.

Yeah. It's like one thing gets hot, the other thing gets cold.

11-4-1 your last four weeks.

I'm just waiting for it all to get cold at the same time,

which feels like this weekend.

So you're 22-17-1.

Okay.

You have, I believe it's a three-and-a-half game lead on PFT in second.

So your PFT's in the last seat.

He's made a nice comeback.

I've been slow and steady.

Yeah, you started.

I started really bad.

Yeah, you need to do that.

You need to do full tout.

No, that's.

Like if you tailed me. In my last four.
Right, if you tailed PFT in his last 16, you need to do that. You need to do full tout.
No, that's... Like, if you tailed me...

In my last four...

Right, if you tailed PFT in his last 16, he's 12-4.

In my last four ultra-super-duper starship supernova plays, I'm like 11-1.

Nice.

So, you are 19-21.

I'm right behind 18-22.

Max at 16-23-1, and then Hank and Billy at 15-25. Hank, will you be playing a Hungry Dog Parlay this weekend? Yes.
I love a lot of dogs this weekend. I mean, I can't make a pick to save my life, but...
Picking the right ones will be important, but I love a lot of dogs this weekend. Billy? I got one for you, Hank.
What do you got? Jets back three and a half. Oh.
Hungry dog. Yeah.
The Jets versus the Patriots. Big game this weekend.
Revenge game. Big game.
Gun game. Personal revenge game.
A crossbow game, right? I think so. I think Billy disavowed, but I would have been down.
To shoot Billy in the ass with a crossbow? Yeah. Yeah, me too.
If the Jets would have won both games, I would have gotten shot in the ass. Oh, okay.
Yeah, that's right. What happens if the Patriots win both games? I think Hank gets shot.
No. No, I don't think so.
No, Hank was saying if the Patriots win the Super Bowl. Yeah, that would be, what, 34 out of the last 40 years? December 27, 2015 was the last time the Jets beat the Patriots.
I'm so cold I'm almost impressed with myself. I don't know if that's fair to say, but I've been impressed with the performances I've been putting up.
That's a good way to spin it. Just be like, it's just as hard to go 25 and 15 as it is to go 15 and 25.
Yeah, Jake said it. I went from first to worst, and basically four weeks, I can do it again.
Yeah, you can flip on a dime. Okay.
You get that mushroom like in Mario Kart. Yeah.
That's what happens. All right, so week 11, we are getting close.
It feels good, though. This is going to be a good week.
I feel like it's going to be a good week. We got some good games.
We got some meaningful games. I is i feel like thanksgiving is always the last week where it's like all right these teams we can just forget about them forever we're we're hanging by a thread with a few teams notably the rams yeah there are a few teams in that ram saints game if you had come to me like two years ago and be like rams playing the saints i'd be like fuck yeah that's gonna be an awesome rule they might flex it now that might be the most depressing game i'll say it's low-key the most depressing game on the schedule I'm gonna have to break it to Mincy but that game I don't think is gonna be on the TVs probably not seven one o'clock games I think that one is not on the TV I know in between bashing Commissioner Roger Goodell Pete Schrager told us that Sean McVay was not thinking about retiring this offseason anymore they want to come back and he doesn't want to go out like that if he if it keeps going the way that it's going.
I have a strong feeling that McVay was not thinking about retiring this offseason anymore. That he wants to come back and fix my story.
He doesn't want to go out like that. If it keeps going the way that it's going, I have a strong feeling that McVay will get offered, I don't know, like $10 million to call one game a week on television.
And be like, yeah, that actually kicks ass. But if he does retire from coaching after this year, I will have a stink in my mouth.
I'll have a bad taste of my mouth a personal bad nose like yeah personal bad just be like wait you want to hire that guy didn't they go like five and twelve his last year it'll be a personal people forget that sean mcveigh actually left on a really bad has the game passed sean mcveigh by yeah let's have that conversation is sean mcveigh able to adapt to the modern NFL or have modern defenses figured him out? Yes, and no Cooper Cup is going to get ugly. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of reasons why the Rams suck this year, but I'm personally in favor of making just a complete referendum on Sean McVay and his entire personality, actually.
Yeah, and all the Rams fans out there, you just got to keep repeating to yourself, flags fly forever. And let this be a lesson to everybody.
don't get married. Yeah.
Because your wife will just take all of your skill away from you. Yep.
She sucked it away. It's like the Game of Thrones.
What was her name? She was hot. The Red Witch.
The Red Witch. Oh, Cersei.
No, no, no. It's like Massaria.
Oh, yeah, yeah. She sucked all of her energy out of him and then became an old lady.
Yeah. Yeah, that sucked.
Honestly, she was hot, though. Worth it.
Yeah. No, I absolutely agree.
Okay, let's do some picks. Even old bonk.
Even old bonk, yeah. Let's do some picks.
Should we start with our favorites? Melisandre. Yes.
Melisandre. That's even a hot name.
Okay. My favorites, I didn't talk about it.
I didn't tweet about it, but I did put a small bet on the commander's money line right before the game. I told you guys in the group chat, this is just a personal.
You've been big on the hungry dogs that aren't public. I'm always on the hungry dogs.
I have to pick three for the parlay, but I have to. It's just a lifestyle.
Hank was doing that sweating Jordan Peele meme when he was trying to figure out who to piss off more with that bet. Me or Max? Yeah.
He was like, well, I really hate Philly, so I'm going to. Should we go? Should we make the Hungry Dogs two games? Just going to win.
You win one fucking can't-lose parlay. Three in a row.
Three in a row. Sorry, three in a row.
Yeah, they're plus like minus 20. I bet the Hungry Dog every week, and then you're like, yeah, I had the Vikings money.
Yeah, was that? Yeah, all right. Maybe I'll make it plus 100, and then I'm like, perfect.
No, Hank, it might just be nice to see you win. Yeah, see one go through the net.
Yeah, just get on base. Commanders, minus three and a half.
Personal thank you revenge game. I like that.
You got to do the respect. You got to pay it forward, the respect game.
Left hand up. That's a nice bet.
Left hand up's catching on, and I really love it because it's a stupid thing that was first used to completely insult the Commanders because it was a dumb, dumb video. Even the fact that we're saying those haters can't stand us.
Who are the haters that that song is referring to? Commanders fans. Probably to the own fan base.
But the fact that we started winning after that song came out, it became a nice little thing that we could reclaim. It's like, no, that's our song now.
You can't use it to hurt us anymore. It's nice to have something that we came up with by ourselves.
That wasn't like put through a focus group by Jason and the entire team. Don't let them co-opt it.
Okay, so Commanders. Taylor Heineke, I think it's 4-0-1 as a starter this year.
Named QB1. He is electric.
How can you not root for him? The Texans just stink. I was going to make a case for the Texans, and I just can't.
I will make a case for the Texans because this does, if I'm looking at this game in a vacuum, and I'm not a Commanders fan, I'm saying to myself, the Commanders just shocked the world on Monday night. Letdown, yeah.
Emotional win. And the Texans are probably the worst team that they could be playing right off that because they are probably looked at as being the worst team in the NFL.
The worst team, yeah. So the fact that everyone is now all over the Commanders and they're playing against the worst team means that this is the exact type of situation where the Texans come out and get what their second win of

the season.

Yeah, it would be their second win.

Third non loss.

Third non loss of the season.

It might be a tie.

This game might be a tie.

Yeah, very important.

I'm putting, I'm officially putting the commies.

It would be fitting for the commies to end up just spreading the points around to everybody.

Yeah.

Okay.

Max, your favorite favorite.

Don't do it. What? We know.
No. No.
I. Wait.
Wait, Max. What? You have to take the Eagles.
Max is on camera now for the YouTube. Oh, hell yeah.
Max, switch the camera to yourself. Max, what do you think about Degamata Sioux? Go back to yourself.
Degamata Sioux. Wait.
I think I like Ndamukong Sioux. Is he still good? I know he's 36.
Yeah. He's a name.
He's a name. Ndamukong Sue is his name.
And, I mean, when I sat down in the seat, Max said, I can't believe this fucking Eagles line this week, huh? You were shocked that it was six and a half. I sat down in the seat waiting to take the Eagles any line it got.
And any line it was, thinking it was going to be like 10 or 11, and then I sat down, saw it was six and a half, and I'm like, I am not touching that game. All right, so does anyone have that game? I have a total.
Okay, all right, we can wait to talk about it. All right, all right.
So who's your favorite favorite? My favorite favorite also grows for me to say these words out of my mouth is Cowboys minus one and a half yep me too me too it's i'm just gonna die going with the going against the vikings but this is we get kirk not in in the new nightmare well we get as we call him it's an afternoon game yeah so he's uh 1 p.m or earlier kirk cousins is 46 34 and two against the spread games at 4 p.m or later he's 20 and 30 against he 46-34-2 against the spread. Games at 4 p.m.
or later, he's 20-30 against the spread. He's a different guy this year.
You guys got to accept it. Well, yeah, no, it's the black Kirk Cousins versus the white Dak Prescott.
And I'm going to go with white Dak Prescott this time around. I think that Kirk, yeah, okay, he's not as good in the afternoon, but he's still not as bad as primetime Kirk Cousins.
Yeah, and he's, well, I'm just doing it because it's a buy low, sell high. Like, the Cowboys losing a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter while the Vikings just had one of the most insane wins, incredible comebacks, people are calling game of the year.
I'll just take the Cowboys every time in that spot. And I could be wrong.
The Vikings could just keep doing this, but the spot and the fact that the Cowboys are one-and-a-half-point favorites against an 8-1 team at home, huh? That doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense.
I don't really have a reason for it. I just like the Vikings this weekend.
Okay. I just like them.
I just get positive vibes from them.

What's that?

I've been thinking about it.

I loved Minnesota when we went there for the Super Bowl.

Oh, it's a great city.

It's a beautiful, beautiful city.

Great win last week.

Minneapolis, yeah.

They're winning us over with kindness.

You guys are just a little too hard on them.

They're winning us over with kindness.

I'm all in on the Vikings.

Listen, I'm a huge fan of the Juicy Lucy.

I just love any town whose entire food, culture, and cuisine is just designed around keeping warm.

Yeah.

Like Buffalo.

That's why I love Buffalo.

It's like, okay, everything's going to be piping hot and there's going to be a shitload of carbs and you're going to barely be able to walk out of here. Culver's Culver's.
Yeah, exactly. That Minnesota is a great city.
It's just more of a Kirk cousins. I think Minnesota is a very good city.
Minneapolis and Minnesota. When I win the lottery ball, we're going big on a Vikings future.
Oh, really? Yeah. Is that true? I've already spent five grand on the Vikings? What's up with St.
Paul? How come St. Paul never gets the love? I spent some time in St.
Paul. I have a couple friends in St.
Paul. The Twin Cities.
It is a very nice place. Guys love twins.
Yeah, it is a very nice place. Alright, so I'm on the Cowboys as well, Max.
What's your favorite favorite favorite my favorite favorite i'm gonna take the patriots minus three and a half oh home against the jets uh 34 out of the last 40 games have been won by the patriots against these jets zach wilson turns into mr int when he plays against the patriots he had three interceptions in their first meeting this year uh i just think that this is uh bill belichick sees a rookie quarterback coming into town and he's like okay i'm gonna i'm absolutely gonna feast meeting this year. I just think that this is Bill Belichick.
He's a rookie quarterback coming into town, and he's like, okay,

I'm absolutely going to feast on this guy.

I like the double bye.

I like both teams coming off a bye.

Something about it.

But the Jets are 0-6 straight up off the bye since 2015.

I think that's like the Jets, they need all the practice that they can get. So when they take a week off work, they actually come back worse at their job.

They should bypass the bye.

Yeah, they need all the practice that they can get. So when they take a week off work, they actually come back worse at their job.
They should bypass the bye. Yeah, they should say no thank you to the bye.
We could do like an inter-squad scrimmage that week. So one thing that does make me nervous about this is I might take the Jets' first half money line and then bank on the Patriots to win by like a touchdown in the second half because the Patriots haven't been that great off the bye recently against the spread.
All I want out of this game is for one of the two quarterbacks to look incredible while the other looks terrible because that's just a great narrative. I don't really care which one, but you know that's a great narrative because then you'd be like you can redraft.
Yeah, right. It's it's an instant knee jerk.
Wow. You guys got the wrong guy.
Yep. Whichever way it goes, I don't really care.
I don't want it to be like both of them play middling. Yeah.
And it's like a three-point game. I want disaster for one side and great success for the other.
I'm betting on disaster for Zach Wilson this week. Jake, is it still three and a half? It is still three and a half.
And if you want to see this Billy Revenge game, you can check out the GameTime app to get in at gillette on sunday nice game time so check out the game time app and guess what 100 and what'd you say 80 80 180 it's now 160 when you use code pmt for 20 off your first purchase terms apply flash deals in the app for the uh and there's exclusive deals that game time offers that you won't find anywhere else check out out the game time app. It is the exclusive ticketing app for Barstool Sports.
Okay, Billy, your favorite favorite bills by seven and a half who lets you know why I think Josh Allen's been struggling because he's a California boy. He's not a real played college at Wyoming, right? But still, I think that him in a dome, he's going to be more comfortable, especially with his elbows issues, and I think he wasn't ready for that 7-foot game, and now he's relieved.
7-foot of snow game. The thundersnow.
I was promised 6 feet, and I'm mostly upset that I'm not going to get to see what 6 feet of snow looks like. It's so dis...
I understand why they did it. It's not because of the game itself.
It's because of people on the roads, and you don't want to have people trying to get to a game when there's terrible conditions. But with all that said, I feel robbed.
Like, they hyped up the Thunder Snow. Six feet of Thunder Snow would have been incredible.
It's like a Marvel movie. It sounds like something that you would actually see on a $300 million budget blockbuster.
And it's also, I mean, the fact that it's in Detroit is kind of fun because it is, I actually don't know. It will probably be like the Super Bowl with split crowds because it's not that long of a drive for either city.
So why not? I think it's definitely closer for Cleveland by like what? Couple hours, two, three hours. I think Buffalo, Buffalo's not too far from Detroit.
I think it's like, I want to say three hours. I'm going to cross the lake.
I'm going to look, I'm going to look. So I tend to agree with Billy with the Josh Allen thing.
Not that he can't play in the cold because Josh Allen can play in the cold, but with an injury, like you see old people all the time. if they've got arthritis or they've got like a trick knee,

they're like, oh, I can't handle, you know, squalls are coming.

My right knee is swelling up.

I feel like if you have an injury and there's really bad snow,

that's probably going to affect it a little bit.

Cleveland's two and a half hours roughly.

Buffalo's just over four.

Okay. Both definitely an easy drop.

Yeah, yeah.

And I would give it to the Bills fans probably have a little more like uh their team is good also back-to-back games at fort field what the bills yeah oh yeah the lines thanksgiving yeah you think the bills are gonna just stay there five days i would assume yeah that's pretty close i'd like to offer josh allen a uh a suite in the uh the casino there where they have the barstool sports book i'll personally pay for it we there. We should have Josh stay with Jared.
That would be fun. Yeah.
We'll try to get that done. Yeah, boys being boys.
I'm just going to offer it up to Josh. Be like, hey, I just talked to Jared.
He's cool with you staying at his house for the week. And then I'm going to be like, Jared, hey, I got a friend in town.
Can you put him up and just hope that they link up? Call it a crib, though. Be like, hey, is it cool if I crash at your crib?

Yeah.

You can crash at Jared's crib this week.

Yes, yes.

But my real point is the Bills need a confidence game,

and confidence games usually end up in beat-ups on the other team.

I agree with that.

They've got the advantage, so they'll get that extra touchdown.

The 7.5 will easily hopefully cover.

That's where I'm looking at it for.

Not to pat myself on the back too hard here,

but when I saw the 6 feet of snow game, I put a bet down on 42 and a half is what I got it at on the over. And so now it's up to 48 and a half.
And they're already trying to get me to cash out. I've already made a 20% profit.
49 and a half. 49 and a half.
It's probably like a 25% profit now. Even better.
Ready to cash out free money. But no, I'm going to ride it.
I'm going to ride it out. I wanted to bet the Thunder Snow over.
It was going to be a personal challenge. Yeah, I tried to.
It was so sad. They said, sir, please, no, don't beat me up like this.
But I do agree with Billy that the Bills need – I want to see the Bills win a game and do it four quarters and not do this playing around stuff because we are in – if they have a bad game if they lose this game to the browns i think it's officially panic meter time it's panic button like that's because you can kind of say all right jets game that jets defense is elite the vikings game was weird as fuck the dolphins lost was weird as fuck you better beat the fuck out of the browns the bills definitely have the panic button in their house they know exactly what drawers it's in they haven't brought it out in a few years but they know it's there and they know exactly you know how quickly they can get to it if somebody starts breaking in their house and making him try to find it uh I do think that they're going to smoke the Browns though this week is that Browns defense they stink they stink this is a get right game for Buffalo. I think we're going to see Josh Allen week one against the Rams type game.
Yeah. Josh is going to feast.
Jake, your favorite over. I'm with Hank.
I'm on the Commanders minus three and a half against the Houston Texans. Alright, so Hank.
LeHoo. Left handoo.
LaHoo. Okay.
Hank. Very cool.
Underdogs. There are so many to choose from.
There are so many. I like so many of them.
Well, you'd probably love this one then. Vikings plus one and a half.
No. Yes.
I don't like that one. Good choice, Hank.
Love the Vikings. Believe in this team.
They made a believer out of me. Love the city.
Love the people. Yeah.
There you go, Hank. Skull.
Yeah, there you go. Clap it up it up Who do we have on Thanksgiving What are the games we're playing Is it So it's Bill's I take it when we get out Bill's Lions is the early game Yeah And then it's Cowboys Giants Yeah and then what's the night game Patriots at Vikings Oh damn Damn I knew that was coming That's fucked up You.
You know, you know, yeah. That's fucked up.

That's actually a solid slate.

I loved when DFT said I take it one day at a time.

You just started believing in them.

Preseason, we probably looked at this slate.

We're like, eh.

No, I always...

Preseason, I was like, Kirk Cousins, he's going to have the best year of his career.

I take it one week at a time, but I also take my Thanksgiving very seriously.

Thanksgiving weekend is sick.

Yeah, I always look in August or whatever they... Actually, earlier than that, like June or whatever, I'm always like, ooh, Thanksgiving.
Okay, here's what we got. All right, but that's a holiday, though.
We can come apart for one night on Thanksgiving. Okay, all right.
I just wanted to point that out. You're on the Vikings bandwagon.
That is the opposite. No, no, no.
That's right. Thanksgiving is about absolutely hating everybody.
There's a little disagreement.

You're going to have to smoke so much weed to get through that game.

As a newfound member of Skull Nation.

I'll tell you what.

The only time I remember the Patriots in that Thanksgiving game on the road at night,

it was the butt fumble game.

It's true.

Worked out.

Maybe it's happened before and between.

Will you be conflicted if Kirk Cousins butt fumbles the game away?

Oh, my God.

If Kirk Cousins puts his face into another guy's ass, he's going gonna have to check himself out of the game and go to church. I just love that Hank has got, he's like pandering to the Vikings fans, and now Thanksgiving's gonna happen, he's gonna be, you know you can't help yourself, you're gonna get sewered by them.
It's gonna be great. I'll be drunk, I'll school..
Yeah. Okay.
Your favorite underdog, Max. That was such a shitty twist.
That wasn't cool. Yeah, that wasn't cool.
Lions plus three against the Giants. Ooh.
Okay. Okay.
So are we believing the Lions have not won three games in a row since 2017? They're going for it this week. Yeah.
I think that Vegas got the spread exactly right. Yeah, it feels like they'll play close.
Yeah, they'll play close. This is what the Lions have done.
They've lost so many games by exactly three points this season. I think this will probably be another one of them.
If you're looking at this game strictly from a coaching matchup, from a talent standpoint, I think that the teams are relatively similar in straight-up talent, but from a coaching standpoint, who do you trust? I'm imagining I'm doing an exercise in visualization. Who do you trust six minutes left in the fourth quarter to close this game out for your team, Dayball or Dan Campbell? And everything in my brain is screaming, Dayball, three points, Dayball, three points.
Wheels are coming off the Giants. They have to.
Also, both of my picks are very beneficial to the Eagles. Oh, I like it.
I like it. Without picking the Eagles, you fraud.
Correct. You like that, Hank? He just perked up.
Scared. All right.
PFT. My underdog is Steelers.
Same. Steelers, plus four, right, Jake? Plus four.
Mike Tomlin. Plus four against the Bengals Bengals plus four against the Bengals TJ Watt had a monster game until he got hurt the first time against Joe Burrow in that tie that statement tie that they had and you know who also had a monster game Jamar Chase who's not playing in this game yep so this might be his last week out and then he's going to try to come back but based on the nature of like a injury, I don't think that those really heal themselves over the course of a few weeks.
Yeah. Anytime a player is like, good news, I can do the non-surgery option.
If it's on a major joint like your hip, chances are it's just going to fuck you over again in the future. Regardless, he probably won't be playing this weekend.
I love the Steelers. I'm basically betting on TJ Watt to just harass Joe Burrow all afternoon.
Okay, so I have that as part of my analysis, but I also, at this point of the NFL season, like, I don't know what the fuck's happening. It feels like every game comes exactly to the spread.
So I like, similar to the Vikings being, the Cowboys being a one and a half point favorite against an eight and one team at home, makes no sense. Mike Tomlin as an underdog, just bet it.
At home, he is 16-3-3 against the spread. And versus AFC North teams, as an underdog at home, he's 5-0-2.
Just Mike Tomlin as an underdog. That's all you've got to say.
That's what I was thinking, especially at home. I'm also experimenting with something this weekend, which is just, you know, the trend that pops up once every couple years where it's, oh, what if NFL quarterbacks were women? Here's what they look like.
Yeah. Joe Burrow's way hotter than Kenny Pickett.
Oh, yeah. So I'm going to base this one strictly on like, what? No, I'm going against my bonk.
Yeah. I'm rejecting my own horniness.
He's going the less horny route. I'm rejecting my horniness entirely.
We also have our weird system of going against the team that most recently played the Panthers. We have two this weekend.
It's the Falcons. Their last game was against the Panthers.
And the Bengals' last game was against the Panthers because they had a bye week. And it has worked through the bye week, too.
So if you want to go with the dumbest trend possible, there it is. Billy, can I give you an assignment real quick? Can you do the NFL players as women trend except do it with coaches? Oh, someone did do that.
Oh. I haven't seen it yet.
That's how it always works is they do it with players and they do it with coaches. And then they'll do it with offensive line and be like, this isn't fun none of the coaches would be hot i didn't there was a couple that were hot uh matt lafleur was very hot okay yeah no i saw it all it was matt i mean it was very hot mccarthy would be damn girl yeah uh megan trainer mike thomas was not that hot hey i'm trying to think uh cliff kingsbury was pretty hot sala might be hot yeah maybe there Maybe.
There were some decent ones. Did Rivera have the transition lenses? I can't remember.
I don't know if they went all the way deep, but they usually do the hottest ones and the ugliest ones. Can we do? They probably didn't do Matt Rule because he got fired.
I'll look at it real quick. Billy, can you just do Matt Rule? If Matt Rule were a female.
As women. All right.
Okay. Billy, your favorite underdog.
Going with the with the jets three and a half i just i think they're gonna figure it out and even if they don't win i think they're gonna be close and cover 66 percent covering percentage this season it's also uh just if you want to like i said like at this point in the season just bet like trends and shit uh total that low if it's

basically implying it's going to be a very low scoring game three and a half points is a lot in our run games put back together i feel yeah they've actually gotten in and we won't lean too much on zach wilson and just hopefully be uh be a close one okay uh jake uh i'm going with the Panthers plus 13 against Baltimore.

It's kind of ugly, but A, too many points.

B. Jake I'm going with the Panthers plus 13 against Baltimore It's kind of ugly But A, too many points B, those guys get paid to play football too Baker Mayfield is starting And he's familiar with the Ravens Baker Mayfield starting What is it, 2016 draft The first pick versus the 32nd pick in the first round 16 draft 18? 18 draft? 18 draft.
I get my years all fucked up. 18 draft.
So, yeah, we can just walk away with that narrative. Like, yeah, probably should have taken Lamar.
Lamar, when is he going to do his contract? Probably not until the offseason. He's not going to discuss.
They're going to Ravens themselves. What are the Ravens doing? They're not able to discuss with him because he's he's his own agent so he told them at the start of the season we're not going to talk about it until after the season's over it's if I were the Ravens like dude here what did Sean Watson get guaranteed okay here's more yeah one dollar more yeah done done it's going to pay for itself honestly like I know that a lot of times NFL head coaches are afraid of the precedent that the contract sets because then their other rich friends are going to get mad at them and be like, hey, why did you pay these guys so much? Now I have to pay them more.
But in this case, I think it's a virtual guarantee that if you pay Lamar Jackson $1 more than the Browns paid Deshaun Watson, he will provide you with ticket sales, jersey sales, marketing opportunities.

Wins.

Home playoff games.

Yep.

You will make your money back. And everyone will be like, yeah, that makes sense because we like Lamar a lot more.

Yeah, he's so likable.

Yeah, right.

Tell you what.

Here's what you have to do.

Just have Lamar Jackson meet a different child fan of his every week.

Put the video up on the Ravens Twitter page and on their Instagram.

The impressions from that alone will bring so much value to your social media accounts

that you can sell ads on them like a motherfucker.

Yeah.

Because that one video of him meeting that kid last week.

Yeah.

I don't think I've ever seen a video that has like more than 100 million.

It must have had like 100 million views on it.

Lamar Jackson is for the kids.

He is for the kids.

That's a fact.

That will pay for itself.

And I'm looking at the NFL coaches as women.

They only did 12 of them that I'm seeing right now.

Matt LaFleur is pretty hot.

Matt LaFleur is hot.

Yeah.

Dan Campbell busted.

Pete Carroll looks like Ellen DeGeneres.

Yeah.

I think, wait, no, it actually is Ellen DeGeneres.

But classy, yeah.

It's Ellen DeGeneres.

Oh, it is Ellen DeGeneres.

But I immediately identified.

I was like, that's supposed to be Pete Carroll.

All right.

Overs.

Before we do overs.

Proper 12.

Proper number 12, Irish whiskey. Enjoy rich and smooth.
Proper number 12 Irish whiskey. A fine blend of golden and single malt with hints of vanilla, honey, and toasted wood.
I've been drinking it all college football season. They've been sponsoring that show.
Taking a shot every time I have a losing pick, which is a lot. Triple distilled in age four years in bourbon barrels.
Anything else just wouldn't be proper for every bottle sold the donation is made to support our brave first responders and let me just say this if you're going to a game this weekend there's no better tailgate than the one that has a bottle of proper number 12 whiskey it warms you up right away it's whiskey season it's it's it's about to be the the time between thanksgiving and christmas when whiskey is just the best tasting drink you could possibly have. Proper number 12 is great in eggnog, by the way.
It's eggnog season. Delicious, delicious.
So this weekend, shoot your shot. Order yourself some proper number 12 Irish whiskey.
Hank, your favorite over. My favorite over is the Steelers-Bengals over 41.
I said to myself, Joe Burrow's going to get sacked a lot by TJ Watt.

Is that what you said to yourself?

The Bengals are going to shut down Kenny Pickett.

It's going to be an under.

So you're taking the over. So I'm taking the over.

You said that to yourself right now?

That's what I said to myself when I was processing the board.

I says.

Wait, did you say that to yourself, or was Joe Rogan interviewing you?

That's what you should do to try to switch up your picks.

Pretend that you're being interviewed by Joe Rogan and answer his questions.

No, that was Spider-Man memeing myself. Okay.
Where's the game being played again? That game is being played... In Pittsburgh? In Pittsburgh.
It's in Pittsburgh. Yeah.
Pigeons. Does that make a difference today? How's the weather system, the thundersnow, impacting the game? I don't think it is.
Buffalo is... Remember, Buffalo is...
They're 100 miles away and it's snowing. Then it's probably going to snow.
But also also remember Buffalo is in like a vacuum where it's just only snows that severely in Buffalo. Yeah, it's the lake effect.
It's even one side of Buffalo gets that much snow and the other doesn't. It's crazy.
Okay. Nice over.
Those were some hard pictures that we put up last year, though, on our trip to Buffalo. Yeah.
Memes just reposted those where we're smoking cigs in the parking lot. I also just realized MJF, coming up, great interview, he trashes the people of Buffalo.
And we'd set him straight. Yep.
Remember that? Yep, that's true. We set him straight.
Okay. We got you back.
Max, your favorite over. I'm just taking the Bears every week.
Okay. Bears, Falcons, over 49 and a half.
I'm a little nervous that this is basically going to be Army-Navy and this game is going to go two hours because they're both just going to run the ball the whole time. But I also don't think either team could stop the run.
I was going to say the Bears' run defense is so bad. And so is the Falcons.
Yeah. So as long as you – We could get a very rare run-based points fest.
Yeah, it's one of those games that you just – you'll know right away because if you have any type of like go for it on fourth down in the red zone and don't get it, it's done. I've just taken the Bears, I think, like the past Bears overs the past three weeks.
And it's one of those things where I'm just going to keep taking it until it doesn't hit. It's very fun.
Can we say officially that the Bears won the Robert Quinn trade?

Yes.

Fleeced.

Officially.

You got fleeced, Max.

Sure.

How many plays is it?

He's played like 20 plays for you guys?

Whatever.

I don't care.

Oh, you don't care.

You don't care.

I don't care.

You don't care.

Is anybody going to talk about that Eagles-Colts game?

Yeah, I was going to take that over.

Okay, all right.

So we can get to that.

I'm just going to take Commies-Texans over. Okay, so the Eagles-Colts, yeah, I I was gonna take that over okay all right so we can get to that say I'm just gonna take commies Texans over okay so the Eagles Colts yeah I am going to take that over 45 I'm doing it because the Eagles cannot stop the run right now without Jordan Davis I also am doing it because I do think the Eagles offense is going to have a bounce back Shaquille Leonard out for the rest of the season with the back surgery he's unfortunately had two back surgeries I think I think, in the last year.
That's never good. I don't want him to become a guy where we five years from now say, you kids don't understand how good Darius slash Shaq Leonard was.
For like two years. And it sucks because it's just back surgeries.
There's no like, oh, that's just a little back surgery. No.
That's not what exists. Especially for a linebacker yeah so i do think the eagles offense bounces back um and i don't think they'll be able to stop jonathan taylor so i'm taking over 45 it will be interesting to see how the colts come back like in general with the jeff saturday because it did feel like um there was a little bit of a victory lap being like that was the right hire yeah it's like well there's there are more games.
It was the Raiders. Yeah.
And there are more games. I did notice, though, that they were practicing outdoors in the snow this week.
Oh. Which is interesting.
That's hard shit. I like it.
That's interim coach shit. That's the type of thing that we love on this show.
That's Elon hardcore. It is hardcore.
I think the Colts might be hardcore employees. Yeah.
I heard Jeff Saturday sent out an email to everybody being like, if you don't reply to this email, you're fired. We'll give you two weeks severance, but you're not going to work here anymore.
Those of us who leave will be depressed. Those of you who stay will become champions.
Yes. And so I kind of like the Colts in this game just because, like, I don't know, Jim Burstyn might fuck around and just open the roof in the weather because they practice in the weather all week.
Oh, I'd like that. This might be another roof game for me where I'll wait on my bet.
Jeff Saturday is the one guy in the world who could convince Jim Irsay to open the roof in a snowstorm. For sure.
Yeah. And if it's snowing, I think he probably should do that.
But, Max, I want to talk to you about these Eagles, your Eagles. Because, I mean, they're a great team.
What? Hank just gave a come see, come saw with it. 0-1, their last one.
Who did you take, Eagles or Vikings? Vikings. Oh, they played week two.
Yeah. That's a shame.
Okay. But anyways, Max.
The Bills beat the Patriots 31-0 in fucking 2004, and then they beat them 31-0 at the end of the year. Okay.
Okay. Point counterpoint..
I don't understand. I don't give a fuck about the Patriots.
They are nothing. Put the camera on yourself, Max.
You care so much about the Eagles. It makes no sense to me.
Max is never going to remember to put the camera on himself when he's screaming about Philadelphia. I just said their own one, their last one.
Fact or fiction? Fact. That is fact.
So, Max, my concern for you is that you guys seem to be doing a lot of moves that feel like panic moves for a team that's great. Like, Indomitian Sioux feels a little bit like a panic move.
It feels like you're trying to do the dream team thing.

Did Taylor Heineke break the Eagles?

That's just how we're looking for depth.

None of those guys are going to be looked to come in and save this team,

but Fletcher Cox is not the same player that he was,

and I think keeping him fresh is good.

You guys are so all in right now, though. Keep him fresh.

Yeah.

Keep those boys fresh. Super Bowl or bust.
But the thing is not really because we still have a top five pick in next year's draft. Okay.
So it's like. You're still all in.
Yeah, we're going and getting guys, but it's not like we're leveraging the future. We still have guys coming in.
We have two first round picks next year, one of them being top five. That's a fair counterpoint.
I'm just seeing the moves that Howie's making, like getting fleeced by the Bears for Robert Quinn. Fleeced.
And now he's going for Indomitian. That dude stinks now.
Now Indomitian Sue. I knew he stunk.
Indomitian Sue just fleeced Howie coming off the street because Indomitian Sue probably would have played for like 50 grand because he lost all his money in crypto. Well, Darius Slay had a quote that said, he's boys with Indomitian Sueami can sue he still got it he's got a lot of money and he was just chilling and now he's trying to play again oh nice oh so that's yeah i mean he was just chilling but now we're good now isn't that how isn't that how we got into this crypto scam thing like all the people were like i didn't think i thought ftx was a scam until i saw tom brady do a commercial yeah like and it can't be also for the record i don't know how that's relevant at all i mean that you just said you just said like all right this this guy we don't know if he's good still but one of his friends said he was and for the record but i don't feel i don't feel bad for the people that ever tweeted out have fun being poor those those crypto people yeah i'm glad if they lost those people fuck them um okay uh i think we just did a both of our overs billy you're over ram saints 39 it was just because it was 39 okay and they might this might be a game on their calendar at this point in the season where they're like we could win this game so they put in a bunch of crazy install to score points but could be totally wrong fuck dennis allen fuck him fuck him fuck him i am so sick of andy dalton nice guy yeah he's starting because dennis allen hates america yeah it's it's brutal it's brutal um it'd be very funny if a blown call ends this one that's all yeah it would especially a blown call of a game that like no one cares about yeah yeah and then but it'll still like be put on the list for saints fans it would be great if it was a blown call for a tie.
That would be fantastic. It's hard to get upset about that.
Yeah. Okay, Jake.
So, PFC of Washington, Houston, 40 and a half is your number. Yep, low number.
I'm with you, Big Cat Colts, Eagles, 45. Let's ride.
I think Matt Ryan still has some juice left in him, and the Eagles get right. Okay.
Hank. This is Buffalo just being soft.
Unbelievably upsetting move that they were too scared of a little bit of snow to play this game. So this is just a personal under.
They don't deserve the points. You're just trying to make Buffalo hate you.
You've now gotten Minneapolis on your side, but you've given up Buffalo? I wanted a six-foot snow game. That's a bad trade, my friend.
I wanted a six-foot snow game. You brought up 2004 stats.
You obviously have been thinking about Buffalo all day. No, that's just the best example of the beginning of the season not mattering and getting it together for the end of the postseason run.
That actually had nothing to do with the Bills. But I'm sorry that I wanted a six-foot snow game.
All right, that's fair. That's fair.
With Josh Allen on a Sunday. That's fair.
That sounded awesome. I was so ready to bet the over.
Yeah, I was so ready. The weather isn't real.
I was going to make a huge bet. I was going to turn my season around.
And now it's just in Detroit. And we got robbed.
Yeah, we did get robbed. I wanted to see what six feet of snow looked like.
I wanted to see the Bills re-sign Shady McCoy last minute just to play in the snow game. I wanted to see the I love fucking cocaine memes that I was going to put out with the Grizzly Bears during this game.
It's sad that we're not going to get to get it. That's how I feel.
Your favorite under Max? I will be taking the Patriots JJets under I don't know the number Two great defenses Patriots have a great defense I respect the Patriots And so do the Jets So it'll be a dogfight, great game I could see the Patriots losing this game I do love a hungry dog If this was a vacuum, I could see it happening. Which probably means they're going to win by 20.
Yeah. All right.
Your favorite under PFT? Chiefs Chargers. Chiefs Chargers.
Chiefs Chargers Sunday night. Chiefs Chargers Sunday night.
Smart put 52. I don't know why they put the Chargers back in primetime.
It's a definition of weird flex, but okay. They moved it back.
It's the Chargers' second week in a row. I don't think that they have all their shit together on offense injury-wise.
And they are getting – I think they're getting both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams back. Both of them? They're getting Mike Williams back too? Both have kind of alluded to it.
So let's just say – let's call it one. One of the two is going to be back.
Well, I said what I said already. The Chiefs, I'm not totally believing their offense right now because Mikkel Hardman's out.
Yep. But they're probably going to do some weird shit with Kadarius Toney and make me be like, oh, I'm a dumbass for not betting on points with Patrick Mahomes.
But I just, yeah, I think that I don't know. It's easy.
It's like an emotional hedge where if we don't get a lot of points on Sunday night, at least I'm happy because I won my bet. It's smart because it feels like every Sunday night goes under.
I just am booing you because I want it to go over. Yeah.
No, that's fair. Yeah.
And you're smart. I also think that Andy Reid probably hates playing in primetime just from a meal standpoint.
Yeah. When it comes to like figuring out.
Maybe double dinner. Well, you could do.
The way I see it is if you're playing at like 715 local time, you're either coaching that game extremely full or extremely hungry, if you're in your read, and there's no real middle ground. I'd imagine he goes double.
I would imagine a Sunday night football game, it's breakfast, maybe an early lunch, dinner around 5, double dinner around 11 p.m. No, he probably does linner.
Yeah. So he probably has a brunch too.
Man, I'm hungry. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, Linner.
Yeah. Supper, dinner, fourth meal.
Okay. Fun fact, this is the ninth time a team has played back-to-back Sunday night football games.
Whoa. So they've went 2-0 four times.
They've split three times. And the Rams in 2018 went 0-2.
I like it. That is a fun fact.
All right, my under, I'm taking Rams-Saints under 39. That game just stinks.
That game just stinks. No Cooper Cup.
I haven't. Andy Dalton is still the quarterback.
Fuck that game. Not going to be on the TVs.
Billy. Falcons-Bears, 49 and a half.
The running game, Army-Navy. I think it's going to be quick.
Yeah, I do think it's going to be one of those games where we look up and uh i don't know bills bills browns maybe uh maybe not bills browns yeah maybe bills browns maybe eagles colts is in like starting the fourth quarter and and bears falcons has been over for 10 minutes yeah um tino okay i'm with you as well big cut okay ram saints It, under 39. All right.
So the only game we didn't touch, I believe, is Raiders-Broncos, which credit to us. On Monday Night Football.
On Monday Night Football, yeah. But Raiders-Broncos, credit to us for not touching that.
That game stinks. Did you see the report that one of Russell Wilson's old teammates thinks that he's accidentally calling audibles from Seattle? Yeah.
And guys are confused and being like, he's using code words at the line of scrimmage that the rest of his team doesn't understand. Well, Josh McDaniels probably has video of that from his time on the page.
Yes, that's true. So that's probably a benefit for the Raiders.
Or the Broncos. Or the Broncos.
Either way, this is also an interesting game because it feels like whichever coach loses this game should be fired yeah but a report came out earlier this week that the raiders are not firing josh mcdaniels because they can't afford yeah we to fire him we as first reported by part of my take actually yes so we were on the broke boy chain when we were talking about how he doesn't have enough money to get the team in the first place he doesn't even have enough money to fire somebody because he's so broke. And we should do a GoFundMe for Mark Davis.
Do a GoFundMe. And just buy him one P.F.
Chang's gift card. To be able to, yeah, we'll buy you, I swear to God, dude, I will get him a $500 gift card.
I'll match. So that's a $1,000 gift card to Mark Davis if he fires Josh McDaniels.
Yeah. Just to offset that loss a little bit.
Nathaniel Hackett also said, quote, someone's got to win this football game. That's a true.
No, no, no. It could be a tie.
It could be a tie. Almost.
I think I'm going to bet on a tie right now. I think I'm going to bet on a tie.
You have to bet on a tie after that. You know what? He's been so wrong all year, you have to bet on a tie.
There's going to be a tie this week. Yeah.
And that's going to be the game. That's probably it.
That's so perfect that Nathaniel Hackett would come out and say that. Yeah, 1313.
Dude, do you know how your team has played this year? Plus 1500. All right.
Money in the bank. Putting it in.
Putting it in. Tied.
Hank, you won't put that in the hungry dog. Give it a little boost.
Dude, that's a fucking lock. Do it.
The Broncos Raiders. I'm sorry.
That's a result end of fourth quarter. Yeah, I know.
I was going to say that sounds pretty low. I would imagine it's more along the lines of like 2,500.
Love it. Tie.
Tie. Tie, baby.
Tie. Let's do some Mount Rushmore.
We got to get back on the winning side, guys. We've had a little bit of bad luck.
I'm going to say right now. Josh Allen.
We have to ban Austin Eckler because he just doesn't get enough touches. He't get enough touches he gets touches but he just doesn't get enough carry touches in the backfield and you know he doesn't get enough carries he gets passes in the backfield yeah well I was frustrating watching because we had it everything in in the barn easy and then Austin Eckler that hurt so Hank do you a pick? I have a pick that's guaranteed.
I

have two picks that are guaranteed to win. Saquon.
Okay. We're going back to the barn

with Saquon. That wasn't one of them.
I don't, you know, listen, it's a team game. I'm the

coldest gambler on the show. Facts.
I have three picks. And it doesn't matter.
Ultimately,

it's about everyone winning. But I think if we had to pick who's had the most in the

barn, I think I might be one. Because you just picked Saquon.

But it's a team game.

It is a team game.

I have three that are going to win if anyone needs one.

Okay, well, I've got two.

One of the guys I've been...

No, I'm going Christian McCaffrey.

Okay.

Which one would you guys like me to pick?

You loved getting the catching running backs, PFT.

It's scary.

What do you mean?

I usually go with Chubb.

Okay, who would you guys rather me pick? Fact or fiction, Hank. Fact, I go with Chubb almost every time.
Speaker 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0. Who would you like me to pick? Fields? Personally, I'm Dalvin.
Okay. Yeah, you're a Vikings guy.
All right, then I'll pick down.

All right, you know what?

Now Hank's got me scared about Christian McCaffrey.

All right, so Jonathan Taylor is definitely going to hit it.

I might go back to Chubb.

Okay.

But the Bills are going to take a lead.

Justin Fields?

Justino.

Okay, Justin Fields and Dalvin Cook are in it.

That's a combo pick for me and PFD, so either of them don't get 50. You can blame both of us.
And I'm sure Hank will. Okay.
Justin Fields and Dalvin Cook are in it. That's a combo pick for me and PFD, so either of them don't get 50.

You can blame both of us.

And I'm sure Hank will.

Yep.

No.

Unless it's Dalvin Cook, then what is he going to do?

Right.

That's his guy.

Now I almost want the bet to lose, but have it lose because of Hank.

Yeah.

Okay.

Billy and Jake.

Lamar.

Lamar.

Lamar's gotten 50-plus in all but two games this year.

Oh, spicy.

We got two quarterbacks in there.

I like it.

Okay.

We ready to do some fantasy foot boys.

And then we got MJF.

Great interview.

Just so everyone knows before we actually kick it to that interview.

He is a wrestler.

So don't get upset if he makes you mad. That's actually what he's trying to do.
He's very good at it. When he calls you all poor, that's kind of his thing.
He might be. Right.
He's just that wealthy. Yeah, he is that rich.
Okay. Fantasy Foot Boys.
Hey, can someone explain the concept real quick because I might be confused to myself. It's teams in the World Cup.
Ah, a couple Italian boys, eh? Hey, uh, Frankie Bologna. That's my name.
I'll start. I'll show you the way.
I'm going to show you the way. I'm going to show you the way.
No, my start. Hey, hey.
Hey, I'm parking the car over here. Oi, hey, hey, look.
It's the thing. It's a World Cup preview, isn't it?

Yeah.

You talk about the Kings and World Cup that you think, oh, we'll go win footy tournament.

Ready, steady, go.

My startum is Senegal.

Oh, nice.

Senegalese.

When I was a kid, I had a lovely woman live in my house for a year.

She was a Senegalese teacher.

Shout out to Senegal.

All right. All right.
You give the bird the old poke. My sit-em is Switzerland.
Fight a war, you fucking pussies. Oh, nice.
Good hot chocolate, though. Neutral.
And my sleeper is Brazil. Brazilia.
Good sleeper. Not a lot of people talk about Brazil this time of year.
That's both a bonk, and I think they have a good shot at winning this whole thing. Oh, you like them fat asses, huh? This bum bum.
You're one of them fat asses. You're a man that likes backyard, isn't you? Yeah.
You're lost in the garden. Your bottom feeder.
Some may say. I like the cut of your jib, my friend.
Hey, this is Tom Hardy. Oh, hey, Tom Hardy.
This is Thomas Hardy. This is Thomas Shelby.
That's bait.

My starter, I'm starting Argentina.

In Falkland Islands.

Oh, that's my starter.

Falkland Islands.

Water under the bridge at this point.

It's a legacy cut for Messi.

It's a legacy.

It's an indictment on his legacy if he wins.

If the bloke loses, goes out on the show.

Who else started in Argentina?

Well, that's funny. That's very funny, Henry, because my sitter is Germany.
I'm sitting in Germany. You know what you did.
You know what you did, Germany. My sleeper is Italy.
Italy? I think Italy, not a lot of people talk about Italy right now, but I think they've got a very strong chance indeed to reach around 16. All right, my is Thomas fucking Shelby.
My stop is France because I had it be Argentina. France.
Oh, stinky cheese. The bleu.
Armpits. There you go.
Boosh. My sleeper is gonna.
Like, are you gonna finish this? Yeah. Yeah.
Right. Yeah.
And then my sit-up is the moon. Jack thinks there's two of them.
Two moons. Two moons.
Yeah. Jack thinks there's two moons.
That's a pair of tips. He's a big one.
That's a pair of tips. That's a pair of tips.
Yeah. Yeah.
So watch out for the moon in this world. All right.
All right. How you doing you doing? This is a true Brexit geezer.
True Brexit geezer. The Falklands made me vote for Brexit.
But anyway, my stardom is India. Yeah.
Crown jewel of the empire. The British empire.
Yeah. Are they in it? The best colony.
Probably not. No, they're not in it.
I don't care. Best colony.
Okay. Number one.
In my sit-em are the pigs.

That's Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Spain.

And that's why we didn't join the EU and get the euro.

That's a credit.

Terrible economies.

Terrible economies.

Right.

In my sleeper, it's the British Empire.

The sun will never set on the British Empire.

We're coming back. We're about to moon now because we got two of them, right?

Two of them.

Neither the moon or the sun.

I know what he's saying, though.

Thank you. It's the British Empire.
The sun will never set on the British Empire. We're coming back.
We're about to move now because we got two of them, right? Two of them. Neither the moon or the sun.
I know what he's saying, though. That was our World Cup preview.
That might have also been my fire fest. I know nothing about soccer.
Football. We are going to do a World Cup preview on Monday because we don't like to do our previews until after we can see the...
Or, sorry, Wednesday. We like to see the stadiums first.
See the field. Yeah, we got to see it.
There's one that's built out of shipping containers and one that looks like a vagina. That's all I know.
Okay. So did you also see that Team US did a little footy practice with some of the workers? So that was nice.
So basically, no harm, no foul. Yeah, it was all good.
Yeah. They played a little soccer.
Yeah, with the ones that were still left. Yes, right.
So this is true. It's true.
It has not been good. Although, just for the record, from this point on, I'm only going to be saying positive things about Qatar until I get back from Qatar.
I have a take. Go ahead.
I don't think the World Cup's going to finish. I think it's going to get canceled for some reason.
Oh, Jesus Christ, Billy. Why? I don't know.
You know, I'm going over there and you're heavily implying that there's going to be a terrorist attack. No, no, not a terrorist attack.
I don't think it's going to be finished in Qatar. I don't know.
Where's it going to be finished? It's going to be so good that they make it leave? I don't know what's going to happen. No, Billy, you're wrong.
Qatar is very nice people. The Qatari government has brought this country into the 21st century.
It's sure to be a showcase of the culture and great people and the spirit of competitive friendship that Qatar is known for to this very day. You've always said that.
No, I am. That's what I say about Qatar all the time.
I remember you've always said that. It sounds like the literal Fyre Fest.
I'm getting Fyre Fest vibes from the World Cup. You're doing it as my going there.
As my Qatar gently weeps. Yeah.
Yes. He's going there.
I'm going there. We've got to keep you safe.
That is my Fyre Fest, is that Qatar looks like it's turning into a Fyre Fest right now. Yeah, okay.
With the buildings and everything going on there right now. Yes, yes.
it's quite something to change the name of the segment cutter of the week no no no not yet not yet not wait till i get back please yes wait till he gets back um okay let's let's kick it to mjf and then we will do our fire fest uh before we do that peter you had a quick word for one of our sponsors yes before we get to mjf i want to talk to you lovely people out there about venmo it's almost the weekend and you know what that means it's time to get your venmo captions ready so i just learned that there's a venmo debit card have you heard about the venmo debit card well first of all yeah right big cat check it out purple first of all there's no monthly fee there's no minimum balance it's a great way to use the money that you have in Venmo at tons of your favorite places in person or online.

He is better than you. What's up, man? Are you better than us than us hey and you know it are you and big cat let me tell you something okay first of all let me get this right out the whip yep i have done a lot of stuff around here at barstool i've done kfc radio okay i did wrestling and now i'm here on pardon my take i'm letting you know right now out of all the setups this is the best one thank you i only have one problem yeah there's this weird squinty eyed fuck sitting right over there he's pointing at billy and there's literally that that blue-eyed blonde-haired worthless piece of shit there's no way he didn't like every single one of those kanye tweets you can't you can there is no reality where that's not the truth okay no no no no i was i was a shabbos goy growing up okay And if you know what that is I used to No I don't know what that means

Do you know what that means?

Yes you schmuck

Yes

I speak more Yiddish than anyone in this room

Did Billy just say like

Some of my best friends are Jewish?

No I said I went

Oh oh so it's one of those things

It's like wait wait

I can't be anti-Semitic

I have Jewish friends

No yeah

We hear cops say that all the time

When they pull poor people

Like over on the side of the road

I worked in a synagogue every weekend

Growing up

You did?

Good

Say three Yiddish words and I'll leave you alone. Yachim.
Okay. That was a Hebrew word, but okay.
I don't know. That was good.
That counts as two. I'll allow it.
I heard a H. That means you're a friend of the tribe.
Yeah. Shvitz.
There we go. I shvitz all the time.
All right. I love shvitzing.
Confirm not a Kanye Kanye follower. Okay.
Doesn't help the whole face thing. Yeah, yeah.
No, you're vindicated. You're vindicated.
So it's great to have you on. Like I said, you said you've been in a lot of podcasts in this room.
Yes, sir. Or in this office.
We've kind of cucked you. We're like, nah, we don't want him.
He's not a big deal. You're a big deal now.
Yeah. Kind of one of the biggest.
Yeah, you get to come get to come on the big league yeah you gotta eat crow a little bit um i'm just gonna be honest as far as professional wrestling landscape goes i think anybody if who was a fan of professional wrestling knows who mjf is just in case you're deaf dumb blind stupid or let's just be honest you're probably poor if you don't know who i am i am one of the youngest and fastest rising stars in the history of professional wrestling i am soon to be the aew world champion i I am the three-time, three-time, three-time AEW Dynamite Diamond Ring champion.

And... and fastest rising stars in the history of professional wrestling.
I am soon to be the AEW world champion. I am the three-time, three-time, three-time AEW Dynamite Diamond Ring champion.
And goddamn, pal, I am very close to winning that AEW world title, the most precious prize in all of professional wrestling. Don't pal me, buddy.
Hey, don't bud me, pal. Okay, so it's good to have you on the show.
You got a big match coming up on Saturday night. It's going to be great.
We are good friends with Tony Khan. So let's start there.
Absolutely. How's Tony Khan as a boss? So Tony Khan, me and him had a little bit of friction.
Yeah? For what? Money. Okay.
Let's just be frank. Okay? Let's just be frank.
And I'm not talking Frank the Tank either. But let's just be frank.
I was not getting compensated what I should have been compensated at one point. So daddy took his ball and he went home for about three months.
You just quit. I legit, I quit on the air.
I quit on the air. And I said.
This is real. This isn't a work.
Oh, yeah. Well, I saw that.
That's when I first started paying attention to you was when you cut that promo. Oh, yeah.
And everybody, it transcended wrestling. Of course.
And people were like, is this real? Is this not real? Diehard wrestling fans even were like, is this a work? Am I being played? Am I a mark right now? That's the power that I bring to the table. It transcended reality in a way where it was powerful because here's a guy that's in the ring that's in a position where I think a lot of us can identify with.
They're calling out their boss. They're saying, fuck you, pay me.
But then diehard wrestling fans that have been following the storyline, they're like, wait, I thought that this was all kind of a storyline all along. Turns out maybe he was playing us.
So which side of that fence did it fall on? So I'll be honest. Here's my take on professional wrestling.
People are fake. Wrestling's real.
And the realest person in professional wrestling is MJFf and that's a fact there was nothing about that situation that was manufactured i came into la i was very upset with my boss over money um my boss said you know what air out some of your grievances on tv that was the agreement that we had i told him the things that i was gonna say and then i said a whole lot more than i told him i was gonna say to be be completely blunt okay uh was that the plan or did you just get caught up in the moment uh it was my plan it wasn't Tony Khan's plan yeah Tony was like look if if you want to let some stuff off your chest it is what it is and and I was like I'll be very tactful and I'll be very respectful but in my head I was like you're going scorcher oh yeah because I was looking at the landscape and to be, the two biggest stars in professional wrestling right now are me and Roman Reigns. We are the two people that everybody's talking about, whether you're a professional wrestling fan or whether you're outside of that professional wrestling bubble.
And my goal since day one when I entered All Elite Wrestling was I wanted professional wrestling to be a part of the cultural zeitgeist again. I wanted people to talk about guys like me, guys moxley guys like brian danielson ricky starks will hobbs the same way people used to talk about stone cold the rock yeah you know dx dx chris jericho who's a part of aew and that was always my goal from the jump and i was doing that for my boss but my boss was not paying me the right amount of money.
And now... He's paying you? I'm doing okay.

He's paying you?

So here's the deal i was rich prior it was more of a pride thing for me yeah yeah i've always been fucking rich that's never been the issue but it was of course but it was a pride thing for me and now yeah raking in the dough good seven figs oh seven figs i'll be honest yes How much money do you make? Wow can't say the exact number okay can i say the number then you tell me if i'm right i will not confirm or deny i'll just stare at you blankly but you could have fun just spitting off random numbers if you want seven million dollars a year he's nodding he's saying yes three million dollars who knows i have i have not moved my face so all right so you you blast tony khan live on tv you go farther than he expected what when you walk off is he like hey dude i said oh he didn't see me in the back i i legitimately left i shoot left i left the arena uh and there were security guards trying to grab me as i was leaving really yes so what when did the first conversation happen after that you went home months really months so the thing was is there was an autograph signing uh that i was supposed to go to and i felt why am i making the company money when the company should be paying me money right so daddy bounced i did not go to the autograph signing and i just stayed in my hotel room they did a wellness check on me they thought i might have died or something. They kicked, they were going to kick my hotel room door in.
I was not there. I was informed about this later on.
Then it came time for the pay-per-view. People were worried I was going to no show the pay-per-view.
I showed up to the pay-per-view as last minute as humanly possible because I wanted to make a point. I wrestled the match against Wardlow, who's a scumbag.
Wardlow got lucky. He won the match.

I think everybody that watched the match knows Wardlow got lucky.

It was a very cheap victory.

Mickey Mouse.

Mickey Mouse bullshit.

Absolutely.

Kangaroo court.

Yeah.

And after that, I sat down with my boss.

My boss was like, how do we make this right?

What if I just let you, like, I'll let you get, like, a dig on me.

You know what I mean?

And I'm like, okay.

It was not one dig.

Right.

Yeah. I could imagine just Tony sending you a text afterwards being like hey man that was great ha ha ha we're still cool right yeah there was no text and from what i was informed he was very upset in the back so in the three months as was everybody yeah so they tried to get but you said the the security guards tried to oh yeah they tried to if you watch it back you you can see the security guards trying to grab me to bring me to the back they tried to take you prisoner i'm not gonna say it because i make so much money now and i love my boss and i love my company yeah right but hypothetically perhaps that was what was happening so so you go home for three months and was there ever a moment where you're like i might have made a mistake no because i like because i was watching the show and i say i swear on my life and and here's a prime example if you watched aew dynamite this week you had the same thought aew dynamite is a very good professional wrestling show and if you love professional wrestling please tune in we're on wednesdays on tbs at 8 p.m for dynamite and then on rampage we're on fridays uh 11, on TNT.
It's an incredible show. But when MJF is missing, you feel it.
You feel it. You feel it, and it's awkward, and you're like, God, because I'm the most consistent professional wrestler that there has been in decades.
Whoa. No, it's true.
You mentioned Roman Reigns. It sounds like when you talk about Roman Reigns.
Roman Reigns, also incredible. It sounds like you revere him a little bit.
I do. I absolutely do.
I feel that I'm the face of my company, and I think it's more than fair to say that Roman Reigns is the face of his company over in WWE, which is also a tremendous, tremendous wrestling show. And on January 1st, 2024, they will most certainly be making their bid to get MJF over there.
Oh. I like that.
I like that. What would make you jump?

Money.

I'm a very simple man.

If they offer $1 more. If they offer a penny more.

This is a business.

This is not, you know, it's not friend business, right?

It's show business.

And that's all I care about.

Damn, that's a good line.

That's a really good line.

I love money.

Please, take it.

I love money. Love it, love it, love it, love it, love it.
I never want to be a disgusting poor, like a lot of people that are that watch wrestling, let's be honest. Were you rich even before, even when you were poor? Yeah.
You just seem like you've just been a rich guy. You're going to be so confused by this, be like, is he doing a shtick? No, no, no, there's no shtick.
This is me 24-7. Yeah, yeah.
24-7, 365, baby. I'm the devil.
Wait, so, okay. And I'm salt of the earth.
So, well, that's a little contradictory when you say you're salt of the earth. What do you mean? Well, because you're like all these poor's that watch.
Let's be honest, though. Here's my issue with what you're saying.
Okay. Everybody now, we're all PC.
We're having a good time. Don't say anything that you don't want.
Listen, I'm just honest. I'm ridiculously honest, and I think that's why people connect with me, Big Cat.
I think that's why people connect with this podcast so much. Number one sports podcast in the world.
Seven years. Fact.
Seven years running. Fact.
That doesn't happen when you're just feeding people b-b-b-bullshit. You gotta be honest.
You gotta be genuine. Yeah.
And that's all I'm bringing to the table. Yeah.
That's why people fawn over me. That's why people hang on every single word I say.
Just Fatboy over there is hanging off that little seat He pointed to Billy not me I love you Fleck Do you want me to take my shirt off and just embarrass you I think Billy lowkey does want you to do that Now I'm a little nervous Billy will probably have some various Chemical questions for you later Plus he's wearing sweatpants I don. He wants that.
He wants it. I came up with all these questions on my own because I'm such a big wrestling follower.
Your wife's hot, I'm told. So, not married yet, but this chick is fucking smoking hot.
Is there a way we can pull up a photo or something and post at her? Do you fuck her? Dude, constantly. You kidding me? Really? We call it the maximum ride in my house oh the maximum ride that's so sick which she looked like naked dude okay so i'm just gonna try to explain the best i can so like abs your dad is sitting in here by the way it is what it is i don't give a shit he's like he's like god damn it we're gonna do this part of the interview he's lucky that i'm compensating him to hang out around me.
Yeah, that's true. He's just a stooge.
Yeah. But abs, massive tits, the fattest ass you've ever seen, gorgeous, long, flowing red hair.
And to make it even more incredible, get this. Guess where she graduated from? I'm going to say...
DeVry. Yeah.
Florida State. The number one business school in the world, Whon Oh wow This girl is a freak of nature And she's also an incredible artist Naomi Rosenblum I think underscore art Or Naomi underscore Rosenblum Something like that on Instagram Figure it out I don't give a shit But if she doesn't make money it's fine Because I'm fucking so rich Right What if I.
What if I were to say her art sucks? You would be wrong, to be blunt. Right.
But art is subjective. Yes and no, right? There are certain things that aren't subjective, right? Like, for example, it's not subjective that Billy is disgusting looking.
Right. Like, that's just a fact.
That is a fact. But if you look at something and you know deep down it's beautiful and you just say something to say it, that makes you a troll, right? Big Pat? And we don't troll here.
We don't troll. That's for the pores.
I don't even know. I haven't seen her art.
I'm just saying, what if I said that? I didn't say it. I said, what if? Okay.
What if I said her art sucks and she's dumb? But I'm not saying it. Completely transparent.
yeah. I think the last thing anyone wants to do is get into a verbal joust with me in any

capacity.

Yeah, well, I'm-

It's just not smart.

We're not verbally jousting because I didn't say the same thing.

We're just sarcastic.

We're just saying potentially-

I literally just said that in your head.

Hypothetically, I could talk about-

You might not be as smart as you think because I'm telling you, I never said that.

I said, what if I said that?

Big cat.

Big difference.

Big cat.

Big difference.

All right.

Listen.

Do you just make her paint you all the time? Because I'm on her Instagram right now. There's actually several.
There's actually several. It's me a lot.
That's why you think she's a great artist. Well, duh.
It's me a lot. She just paints pictures of you.
But she also paints some beautiful stuff. If you keep scrolling, she actually does a lot of movies.
So there's one from Pulp Fiction. What do you mean she does movies? Well, we do movies.
But she paints movies. She paints movies.
So there's a Pulp Fiction one. It's very meta.
It's like the artist painting art. Yes, bingo.
There's one I believe she just did of Jon Moxley. There's another one that she did of Jago Unchained.
Half of her art is just you. It's a lot of me.
It's a lot of you on here. No wonder you love it.
If you got to fuck me, you'd want to paint me too. You'd paint the shit out of me every day.
That was my next question. Who's hotter, your you me but but but but she's she's almost there you know what i mean which is why that's why you marry someone right they need to be on your level or at least close to another question that i thought of all on my own here i love it uh how was singing on the rosie o'donnell show when you were five years old it was horrible and i'd like to explain why okay um that woman to this day owes me an absurd amount of money yeah so we we did a huge number for her that day because i was as cute as a button okay charismatic as ever beautiful singing voice voice of an angel tenor two all-state and choir in high school okay and uh when i was over there i mean i, I was six years old, charisma machine.

I had to be around her with all of her fat, floppy folds.

Smelled up a storm

and I'm just sitting there

the entire time while she's talking.

Her breath is foul and disgusting.

This is all your thoughts

when you were five?

A hundred percent.

Okay, yep.

Confirmed.

Just making sure.

And, you know,

I put on the performance of a lifetime.

Best thing that ever happened

on the Rosie O'Donnell show, easily.

Yeah, we're still talking about it.

And let's be honest,

I mean, we are still talking about it.

Thank you. confirmed just making sure and you know I put on the performance of a lifetime best thing that ever happened on the Rosie O'Donnell show easily yeah we're still talking about it to this day and let's be honest I mean we are still talking about it to this day yeah right he said that are you repeating him I am yeah right because I said it so I thought that you were just saying it do you actually believe that or are you just saying because I said it no no no people still talk about it to this day if I enter a room people bring it up so yeah I just Rosie I know you're obviously watching part of my take it It's the number one sports podcast.
No, she's banned. We suspended her.
She's suspended? Yeah. That's another show that she got kicked off of.
She's been kicked off a lot of shows. She has.
She has. So that was a good experience.
Except for not getting paid. Except for not getting paid properly.
Except for not getting paid. But again, and she really smelled.
Like, I wish I was kidding. Yeah.
She smelled, man. You still thinking about it to this day? I mean, you know, when something happens to you at a young age they call it like childhood trauma i think fair to say that was it i don't think it's an unnerving thing to see o'donnell's breath childhood trauma all right so what's the hardest part about being a wrestler i actually am curious like i i grew up a wrestling fan uh i don't watch as much anymore i'm still i'm waiting for my kids to get into wrestling so i'm gonna be back yes so don't worry like when you're in the twilight of your career yeah like old and decrepit sure still out there sure trying to cash top guy for decades i'm gonna i'm gonna be like hey son look at this guy he once came in to pardon my take uh because you know we did him a favor and he'll be like wow that's cool yeah you're you're pushing it you're pushing it big cat i want where the line is.
Be careful. Seriously, what is the...
Let me take my jacket off real quick. Yeah, what is the hardest part about wrestling? So the hardest part about wrestling is...
He's talking not into the mic. He's taking his shirt off.
The hardest part about wrestling? All right, one second. So the hardest part about wrestling, honestly, is the wear and tear it puts on your body.
I don't think wrestling fans truly understand how dangerous what we do is. Everybody thinks they know what's going on, how we do it.
They think like we're like magicians performing tricks like, oh, they're not really falling. Right.
Right. We are.
And I have friends that are in MMA. I've met people that are in UFC who have messed around in the ring, took one bump and they went, oh, no.
Yeah. I would never do this.
Yeah. and these are the baddest guys on the planet what we do is incredibly painful there's been multiple people have been paralyzed yeah literally and there's been there's been multiple people have died in the ring oh and heart and and i think that's why i get really upset it's never happened to me because my matches are fucking incredible always but i get upset upset when wrestling fans are like, oh, you fucked up or this is boring.
Like every time we step through the ropes, we're putting our lives like on the line. And it's not a joke.
Like we're in. Whereas in UFC, if a guy gets knocked out, it gets stopped immediately.
Not necessarily always the case in professional wrestling. Have you been knocked out in a match? Yes, absolutely.
And you had to keep going. I kept going because of my pride.
I could have absolutely informed the referee, but it's very hard to tell for a referee to know when you're messed up. Right.
Right? Because you're not just going to tell the guy and you're not going to say it out loud. Yeah, part of what makes wrestling fun is you know you take a hit and you you know people you'll show that it affects you so what's real concussion where's the line drawn right and and you know i've i've wrestled match with a fully torn ac joint and labrum in my shoulder i've wrestled 20 minutes after literally fully tearing my meniscus and my left knee um shit it's a it's a dangerous sport like a one of the most dangerous sports like in the world and it's just i find it interesting that people don't talk about that aspect and i think the reason that people don't is because like i said people have preconceived notions that don't watch it people are like oh this is bullshit i would love to take anybody in a wrestling ring with me that genuinely feels that way And after literally a minute of training with me, they'll go, oh, no, this is not fun.
So a guy like Logan Paul that seems to have trained in it a little bit. So he literally, his knee just exploded.
Yeah. Just exploded, like literally in one match.
And by the way, Logan Paul, you did an incredible job. I thought he did an absolutely transcendent, like, incredible job.
But yeah, he found out that this sport is really, really hard on your body, which is why I very much so liken me to an Andre the Giant, not in the sense of height, but in the sense of being a special attraction. I very rarely wrestle.
I'm more so definitely known for having the golden tongue. But when I do wrestle, it makes it that much more important because I very rarely do it but there's multitudes of reasons why like I'm not just gonna put my body on the line for no reason just for your entertainment I don't care about you I care about making as much money as I possibly can make in the quickest period of time and then you know fucking off to Hollywood and becoming a major actor and like that's the whole point yeah so you're starting a movie with zach efron now i am yeah he's our friend you're full you guys you guys are cool we went to his house we hung out at his house he did a reenaction of dunkirk with him oh that's it yeah yeah he tried to he put his finger in my belly button i love that for you yeah that's a huge journey for you it was very very nice so are you like turning your back completely on'm pretty much almost ready to.
I mean, when my contract goes up, the way I see it is there's several bids, right? There's a bid from AEW, there's a bid from WWE, and then there's the, do I really need to do this anymore? Maybe I'm done. Yeah.
Especially if I win this world title at Full Gear on November 19th and I beat that loser Jon Moxley, and I win that world title and i'm still the world champion come january 1st 2024 who comes up with the names for these events i love them it's like full gear that's all tony that's all tony con he's an evil genius yeah absolutely tony con's an evil genius uh i do have one bone to pick with you everybody does you wiped your ass with the josh allen jersey i had to that's our guy i had to do it So let's talk about Josh Allen real quick The best He's what you would like to be So I'm already there as far as wrestling goes I don't play football I don't play football You don't know how much I make You don't make what Josh Allen makes You don't know that We know what Josh Allen makes Because he gave us 10% of his contract By the way Well first of all congrats Our 10% of his contract is more than you made. Just so you guys know, just so you guys know, I'm never going to do that.
But when 2024 rolls around, if I'm not making Josh Allen money, I can assure you I'll be making it by then. Okay.
My issue with Josh Allen is just the simple fact that he plays for a team that resides in Buffalo. Right.
Which is like upstate New York and upstate New York is like- The best people in the world. Oh, you don't really feel that way.
Great. Have you spent you spent some time and see the problem is you probably went to Buffalo and you probably just didn't eat because you got to keep your little six pack.
We go to Buffalo and we eat and we be with the people. So wings, right? Wings, beef on whack.
You would say the pizza there, though, you would agree it's disgusting. No, not.
Boys, boys, boys. Lenovo.
Lenovo is the best pizza in the world. And MJF, I would say to you, you probably should agree with us.
You should probably agree with us about Lenovo at least. I have to call a timeout.
Lenovo at least. Lenovo's solid.
Yes. Okay.
All right. We're good.
Can we just get real here? Okay. You guys ever spent more than a day in Buffalo, New York? Yes.
We sure have. And you guys were happy there? Yeah.
I had a great time. The happiest.
Everyone there is really fat and ugly. So you know that part.
It's Narnia for fat football fans. We're also fat, ugly people.
It's the best place in the world. It's wonderful.
Yeah. It's like we go to Buffalo and we see around and we're like, these are just our people.
All they care about is football and eating wings. What's better than that? Nothing.
Yeah. Again, I don't think it's for you.
It's not. Yeah.
I'm just, I wish I could sit here and be like, you know what, you guys, I feel informed now. I need to go check out Buffalo, New York.
Just upstate New York as a whole to me is just a huge dumpster fire. Okay.
And it offends me, that people from up there can say they're New Yorkers.

Right.

Because to me, they're not.

Right.

You're only a New Yorker if you live in NYC or Long Island,

and that's the custom.

And Hoboken.

So, yeah, what team do you like?

You like the Jets?

What's that?

What team do you root for?

I'm a Giants guy.

Oh, so that's New Jersey.

That's not even New York.

We're having, like,

a middle-of-the-road season.

I don't get to decide

where the arena's at,

unfortunately, or the stadium.

Yeah.

If I did, if I did, the Giants would play at UBS Arena. But I don't make these decisions.
The Jets are having a hell of a freaking year. Yeah, they're very good.
The Giants are good, too. I'm not anti-Jets, by the way.
I'm not one of those New Yorkers that just picks one team. I think they're both looking pretty good this year.
The Vikings are frauds. Wow.
What do you What do you think about the Vikings? They're fraud. Fraudulent football game.
Did you get set up with this question? Hold on a second. You don't love that quarterback? Are you a Kirk Cousins guy? Yeah, here we go.
You don't love that quarterback? Here we go. Is that what I'm saying? Fuck you.
Here we go. Kirk Cousins.
I might have been told to bring it up. Yes, you did.
We're going to get Kirk Cousins tattoos if you went to Super Bowl. Okay.
That was probably Twitter that just told you because everyone's so mad at us um it also tells me you love by the way i've never seen someone talk so much about coffee i love my life yeah yeah do you drink coffee so i just started because my schedule's got nuts okay and i will look into this camera and say i always thought coffee was like gross stained your teeth right now that like I have this nutso schedule, I don't understand how I, I don't understand how a busy functioning adult. Correct.
Gets through life without it. Correct.
Which is why I look back at the past 26 years of my life without it. And I'm like, dude, you're a beast.
Yeah. I don't know how I, well, I do know how I do it.
I was just born better. Right.
But it's so wildly impressive. Like, I think when we look back, like, at, like, the times of, like, all these incredible things that athletes in professional sports have done, there's no way that people aren't going to bring up that statistic.
Of you not drinking coffee. You have to bring it up.
You literally have to bring it up. The pre-coffee MJF? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. I drink it all the time.

I think, again, Sean Durkin, who's this incredible writer and director who's doing this movie that he booked me for,

so you know he's very intelligent because he booked me for the movie.

I think if there's another movie he can make, it could most certainly be like my trials and tribulations of getting through life without caffeine.

Yes, I would watch that.

There's another Pitch A24.

Wait, was it no coffee or was it just no caffeine?

No caffeine, period. Why not? I've never even taken a pre-workout because I thought it was for weak people.
I swear, this was a mindset that I had. So what made you weak? What made me weak was the fact that I realized that my schedule had gotten so out of hand.
Yeah. And that's when I realized that not drinking coffee is for weak people.
And there's nothing better than the first cup of

coffee in a day and you're like the possibilities are limitless for sure now i'm not gonna lie since i am a big caffeine newbie yeah i don't like it black and are you like a black i'll do it i like black iced coffee i'll put a little bit of milk okay so i'm all about splenda yeah and i'm all about milk and cream yeah like it's mainly splenda milk and cream okay and it gets the job done it does it always gets the job done right billy i think shut the fuck up it's pretty solid what were you saying billy wants to ask what type of steroids you're on so that's a great question i am all natural 110 kosher beef okay 100her beef. Okay.
100, 110%. What's that? Never done it? No.
Billy, have you analyzed him? Can you take your shirt off and Billy, just let Billy look at your nipples. Billy just needs to look at your nipples.
My spray tan could be melted, but if you guys really want me to, I can take your nipples. Okay.
Just one nipple. Just show him a nipple.
Give Billy five seconds of nipple. And he will decide if you've done steroids or not.
That's how good he is. It's a superpower.
He's incredible. So I would say probably the most he's talking not in the mic.
Probably the most jacked Jewish like athlete like of all time. When I take my shirt off, I think that's the general consensus.
Mario Stoudemire. Adam Sandler.
Yeah. All right.
So here we go. He's going to show one nipple to Billy.
Just one. Give him one.
Oh. Uh-oh.
I've seen some conage, bro. Uh-oh.
Conage. Conage.
Conage. Conage, bro.
Oh. You guys see it too, right? No, he's flexing.
Oh, whoa, whoa. He's flexing.
I don't know what conage means. We can put that away.
Yeah. Put that away.
You okay, Billy? I'm fine, bro. What's it like to look at a man that's literally so much better than you in every aspect of life? He said, what's it like to look at a man that's literally so much better than you in every aspect of life? Is it frustrating? All right, so he saw some conage.
So what could that be, Billy? What kind of? Maybe some Dayball. Okay.
I literally don't know what that is. Yeah.
Winstraw. Maybe some Winnie.
Why do you know so much? Because we fucking sit around him all the time. So now I have so many questions.
Are you like a big proponent of taking steroids? I'd say that's fair. It's just interesting.
It's interesting enough that you've done it? No, just like performance enhancement. Wait, have you ever done steroids, bro? You've never done anything? I've never done steroids.
You've never done any illegal performance enhancing drugs? SARMs? No. Billy literally injected an illegal drug into my arm two weeks ago.
That's a peptide. That's different.
Okay. It's still illegal.
Now I'm very confused. He took a needle.
Your dad's shaking his head. Is he a doctor? He took a needle.
And I let him. Far from a doctor.
Just a schmuck. Looking at your dad.
He shouldn't be in the room. That doesn't look genetic.
It's a saying. Dad, can you do.
Wow, he just dissed your dad. Listen.
No, no, no, no.

Dad, take your shirt off immediately.

All right.

Take your shirt off immediately.

This is good.

Uh-oh.

And how old is your father?

Dad, my dad's literally tomorrow 60.

60 tomorrow.

Happy birthday.

60 years old.

Okay, yeah.

He's also jacked.

He's pretty jacked up, yeah.

Show him the abs.

Show him the abs.

Yeah, those same nipples. Any conage on Stephen Friedman.
I hope you feel ridiculously stupid. Talk to the mic, dad.
I just want to know, Billy, is there conage between your legs right now? I can see it. I can see it in the sweatpants.
So as you can see, generationally, Freedmans are just built different. Yeah, I mean, your dad is 60 years old.
He's a fucking specimen. How did you start learning that you were able to, what's the word that I'm looking for? Bloviate like this? When did you realize that you had the gift of being able to just insult somebody and just go back and forth with them? Was that between you and your dad? Honestly, no.
I think a lot of it had to do, and this is just me being totally upfront and honest, growing up in New York, basically everyone's an insult comic. Everyone is coming up with the best shit in the schoolyard, throwing the best shit at you, and you better come prepared and come correct, or you're going to get absolutely annihilated.
Like, absolutely, like, you're verbally bent over, done, dead in the water. So it just breeds a lot of funny Jewish people.
And I think that's why, you know, you'll find a lot of funny Jewish people from New York are, like, writers, directors, stuff like that. Yeah.
What do we think about Kyrie's six-step plan that he has to do now? I think Kyrie and Kanye are, they're interesting. I think their beliefs are interesting.
And by interesting, I mean fucked up. And if anybody condones it, I think you're a fucking loser.
And go fuck yourself. I like that.
You're anti-Nazi. You should.
He's not. But yes.
We're the world's first anti-Nazi. What if Tony got Kanye versus you in the ring? So I will gladly wrestle Kanye.
That would be awesome. In a heartbeat.
Because the way he was talking about Jews was he was talking about us as if we were like these like scaly little like trolls that like live under a bridge when we're normal,

functioning members of society.

You should kick his ass.

That would be fucking awesome.

That would be great.

That would be the best wrestling match of all time.

I do, on a serious note,

I always found it very interesting

how little society talked about anti-Semitism

as far as all of the other crazy bullshit

that people have to go through,

whether it be people of color

or people of every different shade, religion, whatever. I feel like anti-semitism has always been rampant but it's just not spoken about like in the news so in a way thank you kanye because you've brought into light to the fact that there are so many people out there that just violently hate jews yeah no that's actually yeah you're you're right because it has become a conversation that probably should have happened a long time ago.
Yeah. And seeing who's agreeing with him.
Oh, God, yeah. You can see the likes, all the blue check marks.
Thank you for agreeing with that, because now I know who feels that. Yeah, right.
100%. Okay, so you get your big match on Saturday night, full gear.
Full gear. Brandon Walker.
Ugh. Yeah.
Why are you even bringing him up? up I just wanted you to insult him real quick I think he'd be one of those good announcers That just sits there and sucks Tony Khan's dick about everything Yeah Listen I'm gonna call time out And I'm just gonna speak facts And you guys tell me if you think I'm wrong Okay I always thought that that guy definitely fucked his sister growing up And then And then No no hear me out from this guy's from fucking what was it

missouri or mississippi either way disgusting and i walk in here and i see a girl that literally looks exactly like him and i'm thinking to myself there is no fucking way there's no way so he walks up to me you know he tries to talk to me i blow him off and then i just walk up to the girl I go, hey, who are you?

And she's like, oh, I'm Brandon Walker's sister.

And the fact that the incest level is so intense that he had to finagle and figure out a way to be able to fuck her at work yeah it's fucked up shit dude oh my god he's a sweet sweet lady oh my god we like caitlin Brandon not so much terrifying but I'm glad I mean Caitlin like

if

if

if

if

if

if

if

if

if

if

if

if

if

if

if It's fucked up shit, dude. Oh, my God.
Caitlin's a sweet lady. Oh, my God.
We like Caitlin. She's the best.

Brandon, not so much.

Yeah.

Terrifying.

But I'm glad.

I mean, Caitlin, like, if, listen, if anything's going on that's not supposed to be going on,

there are people you can talk to.

That's true.

Okay?

You can talk to Big Cat.

Don't talk to Billy.

You can talk to Big Cat.

You can talk to all the boys around here.

I'll handle it.

They'll handle it.

How do you get in the business of being a wrestling referee?

Because I feel like that would be a sweet job to have.

Thank you. You can talk to Big Cat.
You can talk to all the boys around here. I'll handle it.
They'll handle it. How do you get in the business of being a wrestling referee? Because I feel like that would be a sweet job to have.
I've never been asked that. Yeah, you just look the other way.
Look at this part of my take. Good question.
So to answer that, it's the same thing as how you become a pro wrestler. You have to go to a wrestling school.
And there's different trades you can learn at a wrestling school. You can learn how to be a manager, a commentator, a professional wrestler, or a referee if you're going to do it no matter what you have to take bumps and you have to be trained properly the same way that a pro wrestler is just so you understand what we put our bodies through and you respect the business right and that way you can tell like maybe if somebody actually is hurt absolutely something that they've absolutely yeah you want to be able to almost have sympathy pains if you're a referee just so you can know and acknowledge what's being done in the ring and what these men and women are going through yeah i feel like that would be a really fun job just always get distracted at the last second i hate them because they're always they're always trying to screw with my shit yeah like am i cheating every now and then like i don't know describe your definition of cheating I, I think like, I'll take a liberty or two, but they're just always up in my grill and I'm like sick of it.
I'm a good guy. You're a good guy.
You know, and I just feel like sometimes I don't get the benefit of the doubt. You're a good guy.
You're just better than other people. I can't help that.
It's not your fault you're better than them. We can't help that either.
Goddamn. Yeah.
We have to acknowledge 100% right. Yeah.
100% right. Like the Ravens.
Yeah. Like the Ravens.
MJF. I got one last question for you.
It's a rowback question. R-H-O-B-A-C-K dot com.
Use code take for 20% off your first purchase. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, everything at rowback.
It is the best. MJF approved.
Are you going to be mad? No, no, no. It's absolutely true.
It's MJFf approved yeah uh i don't know what it is your favorite wrestler growing up or favorite storyline because i'm always interested you know like i said i grew up loving wrestling yep um what was the the person or storyline that was like oh i want to do this i would say my favorite wrestler of all times Roddy Piper okay my favorite wrestling growing up was probably and i've admitted it was punk okay and that's tough to admit which and then my other favorite growing up was definitely triple h yep um as far as like rivalries and stuff that like always like like grabbed me basically by by the throat. Like I loved evolution.
I don't know if you remember evolution. No, I'm an attitude error guy.
It was all good. You were too young for that.
Yeah. So I was born in 1996.
It ruled, but I've seen all of the attitude error because I'm a student of the game. It fucking ruled.
It did rule. Yeah, it absolutely did rule.
And I think what's really cool about my company is we're bringing that attitude back to professional wrestling. I want that.

Professional wrestling's really been, and I think you'll agree with this, it's kind of been a little too squeaky clean and a little too PG.

And I feel like that's kind of why people took a step back.

And I think the reason why professional wrestling is becoming a part of the cultural zeitgeist again is because what AEW is doing is we're making it fun again.

Yeah.

You know?

And by we, I just mean me.

Yeah. I'm literally doing this.
I'm carrying it on my back. Have you thought about? And by we, I just mean me.
Yeah.

I'm literally doing this.

I'm carrying it on my back.

Have you thought about starting your own wrestling company?

That is a great question.

So by January 1st, 2024,

that's also another potential thing.

Oh, yeah.

Wow.

It sounds like you've got

a lot of options.

The possibilities are endless.

Could we get in the

January 1st, 2024?

A little barstool action?

Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, I don't know

if you guys can afford me,

but yeah, why not?

No, we can afford you.

You think so?

Yeah, yeah. For sure.
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
We can afford you. Stock's up to that.
You make a million dollars a year. Yeah.
Well, that one I'll openly do this. That one I'll openly do this.
When you say seven figures, you want people to think like, oh, he makes $8 million a year. You make a million dollars a year.
This is the only one I'll react to and do this. No, a million and a half.
That's good. Again, now I'm done reacting, but not yet.
Yeah, because I got it. It ain't one.
You didn't get it. A million and a half.
I got it. You did not yet it ain't one you didn't get it half i got it whatever whatever else you sleep at night big um all right well mjf this has been awesome everyone he's in a movie coming up soon yep tune in yep uh full gear saturday night follow his hot fiance yeah so hot so hot yeah so you're cool with our fans following her dude go for it, comment about Don't even comment about her art, just make it fun for me Comment about everything but her art And then obviously you can see me Pretty much every single Wednesday night For Dynamite on TBS At 8pm And then you can also catch me every now and then On Rampage Fridays On TNT at 10.

He's all coned up apparently. Yeah, he's coned up.
He's been shaking his head this entire interview. I like your dad.
He seems like a good dad. He's okay.
Yeah? Schmuck.

He shouldn't be getting paid as much as he's getting paid.

Okay.

All right.

That's fair.

All right.

Thanks so much, man.

We're going to get back to MJF in a second.

He's going to do that promo that we ripped.

You might have seen it on AEW.

Set the world on fire.

We've got it right here.

Before we get back, we're starting to see some pretenders and contenders emerging this NFL season. Hank, who's a pretender? Vikings.
Whoa, Hank, you just said you liked them. That's messed up.
Hank, who's a contender? The Jets. Commanders.
Okay, I agree, Hank. Yeah.
Commanders. Well, there's one player that's never a pretender and always a contender.

Check it out right now, Chevy.com, or go to your local Chevy dealership. And now here's more MJF.
I got a big question for you. You haven't been seen on AEW television since the firm's brutal attack.
So with your big match heading into full gear for the world heavyweight title, how are you feeling? How am I feeling? You know, after the firm attacked me in a very cowardice fashion, doctors informed me that if I wanted to be 110% come full gear, I definitely shouldn't be traveling on the road. And to be frank, the only thing I'm worried about is that match at full gear against Jon Moxley.
See, this is the most important match in my entire career. But what I don't think wrestling fans understand is this is also possibly the most important match in the history of our sport.
Allow me to explain why. This could be the potential crowning of the next face of the next generation of professional wrestling.
You see, every once in a while, every once in a blue moon, really, we see people that lead the charge of a generation bring professional wrestling to new heights guys like bruno sammartino dusty roads rick flair guys like hulk hogan stone cold the rock john cena all of these men were generational talents and that is exactly who mjf is so here's what's gonna happen all i have to do to etch my name into history is to have a long fruitful world title reign the only person that's getting in my way is John Moxley now I'm not gonna sit here big cat I'm not gonna sit here and I'm not gonna pretend that John Moxley is an easy competitor to beat see I don't like you John I think you're a low-life scumbag piece of shit. I think you're from the slums of Cincinnati, and I think you have absolutely no class, but I do respect you.
Because, John, you weren't born to be a world champion. Matter of fact, you were born with two left feet and not one single athletic bone in your body.
However, I respect you because you had to work your ass off to become the man that you are today. Blood, sweat, tears, sacrifices.

You had to defy all the odds doing 15-hour drives

to wrestle in front of 15 people for $15.

And you did it over and over and over again,

honing your craft until eventually

you did the damn near impossible Jon Moxley.

You became the best professional wrestler

on God's green earth.

But know this.

Come November 19th, you're about to lose that handle because I was born to not just be a professional wrestler, but to be the professional wrestler. I'm the guy who can come on the number one sports podcast in the world, pardon my take.
I'm the guy who can do movies, TV shows, commercials, talk shows, and I can wave the flag of the AEW brand in hell. I can wave the flag of professional wrestling and bring pro wrestling back to where it belongs as something that everyone is talking about.
Every single wrestling fan, promoter, analyst, and pundit is fully aware that that throne is for the taking and I'm the one who's going to take it,

and I'm so sick of waiting my turn.

Ever since I entered AEW,

I've had to get the spotlight stolen from me in my big moments.

My first ever singles pay-per-view match,

the spotlight was on a neck tattoo.

My first ever world title shot,

which was against you, Jon Moxley,

when you cheated,

the spotlight was on Matt Hardy taking a fall like Humpty Dumpty. The first ever world title shot, which was against you, Jon Moxley, when you cheated, the spotlight was on

Matt Hardy taking a fall like Humpty Dumpty.

The first ever blood and guts match.

I am standing atop of the cage

with a crimson mask. I prevailed.
That should have

been my crowning moment. Instead, the spotlight

was on Chris Jericho. Speaking of Chris Jericho,

he stole the spotlight from me from a full

calendar year, and then, on

my big return, the spotlight was

on a press conference. Well, know this, Jon.
november 19th at full gear in the tri-state area newark new jersey in the prudential center i am not waiting for the spotlight anymore i am grabbing it and you are going to have to take it out of my cold dead hands john your boy william regal bet on the wrong horse i don't need a dynamite diamond ring knock your lights out cuz come full gear the devil gets his due MJF was brought to you by curve do you struggle to stay on top of your cash flow well something that can really help is curve curve is a unique credit card that consolidates multiple cards into one it makes it so much easier to track your spending, but it also gives you the power to go back in time and switch payments from one card to another.

Okay, let's wrap up with some firefests of the week the week heading into a great football weekend i'm very sad that bedlam is so under the radar now did you know bedlam was happening this weekend i'm ashamed to admit that i did not know that i actually don't think that's shameful it's it's got to be the least exciting bedlam of all time i'm ashamed and and this is a great weekend as as long-time followers of the show know, that is the darkest night sky that you will ever see in your life is during Bedlam. Just look up in the sky.
It's pitch black. It's neon black.
Send me all the pictures of the black sky in this game. And it's going to hopefully be an over.
Hank, your Firefest of the Week. Yeah, so you guys obviously know this.
Maybe some listeners might not, but my two biggest passions in life really are cryptocurrency. Vacations.
Cryptocurrency and Taylor Swift. And complaining.
I thought it was going to be vacation. As someone who...
And not telling us about the underdog bets you make, but giving us only losers and the hungry. And also rooting against your best friend's teams.
Anything else? You've got a lot of interest. You're a worldly man.
No, my passions. But yeah, Taylor Swift fans.
I don't really have a fire fest, but I feel bad for the FTX. Anyone that lost money in FTX, but the reports that came out of just how the company was run were just so funny to me and so almost inspiring in a way where it's like these guys became billionaires by just going off vibes saying fuck it and just being like yeah we're like I don't know how they made it as far as they did they looked really nerdy yeah it sounded like a sick party yeah if we're being honest they just took the money they made from the company and bought houses yeah Hank was explaining the article that he read or at least the series of tweets that he read today yeah correct the series.
Yeah, the series of tweets, the thread. Important thread.
He did sit down and witness the thread. And he was explaining to me how, like, there was no accounting department.
There were no departments. They just got money and then just gave it to the people that were there, like, at that office.
And nobody kept track of any of it. It was literally running a company off vibes.
Yeah. And they would send slacks.
Like, if I wanted to submit an expense report, I would send it to you, Big Cat.

And you would just, if it was approved, you would like the text.

I mean, that's kind of how old Barstool ran.

Remember when you just walked in with an expense report on the back of a napkin?

And you just handed it to Dave and you were like, money, please.

Have you guys...

That's actually what happened.

I know.

It was like two grand.

I was so nervous about it.

He's like, are you fucking joking? Have you guys heard about the conspiracy regarding Tom Brady? Yes. No.
No. Tom Brady and FTX.
So when Tom Brady took his leave of absence, a lot of people were speculating because he did go to the Bahamas. Fanfic.
A lot of people- I'm saying a lot of people are speculating, you piece of shit. I'm not saying it myself.
He went to the Bahamas during that time period where the company was starting to go under perhaps sorting out his financial arrangement with ftx maybe getting out of the company before it all went tits up so that he could get his cash out now he was on that island with whatever this guy took the video and the guy was like weird now it is it is which one there's the video where tom's video with the guy. Yeah.
That was when he was there. Oh, so he was actually with him that week.
Yeah, they think, but basically that was when the guy was tweaking out on the map. I don't know, Billy.
This sounds like fan fiction. There's a video and everything.
I don't know. But they're saying that he got divorced with Giselle.
Yeah, Tom Brady never puts out fake videos. They're saying that he got divorced.
Follow the fucking guy on Instagram.

Wait, so you're saying that this was... When he blew up the sun?

Yeah.

This was like a viral ad of him and the CEO of FTX in the background being like,

yo, dude, don't get me on camera.

That was all...

It was CGI.

So, no, but the divorce...

Fact or fact.

The divorce might be...

Shadowline.

The divorce might be a way to save Giselle and all of her financials from an impending lawsuit.

I'm pretty sure she's getting sued, too. Did she sponsor sponsor it though? I'm pretty sure she did ads with them.
Oh, she's in the commercial too? Yeah. Oh shit.
Material change. Material change to Billy.
That was a material change. But it's just interesting that they weren't down there.
Yeah, she was. I didn't know.
I only saw Tom Brady one. The best tweet that I saw about the whole thing was Larry David got sued, and it's just so Larry David, because his ad for FTX was him playing Larry David being like, I'm not into it, and I'm never wrong about these things, being like, oh, he's going to be wrong.
Everyone's going to get rich, and Larry David, his bad luck. Yeah.
Turns out he was right in the ad, but then he's still getting sued, which is very Larry David. He was still in the ad very late many layers to it yes yeah it's a fun time yeah and then taylor swift i'm not i mean swifty my sister is a huge swifty she's been going through going through hell uh trying to get tickets you're you're kind of a fake swifty pft because i don't think you shut the fuck up did you try and get tickets like hey what happened what happened before we sat down no i'm just Why are you coming at me like this? I think real Swifties I think a true Well you did your fanfic

No What happened before we sat down here? Why are you coming at me like this? I think real Swifties. Well, you did your fanfic.
You know he doesn't like that. You can tell I'm a real Swiftie because I'm being an absolute bitch about this right now.
I think a true... Whoa.
I mean, fact or fiction. Fact or fact.
I think a true Swiftie was on the front lines, sat in queues for what seemed like 100 hours,

all got waitlisted,

and then today the tickets were supposed to go on sale to the public,

and Ticketmaster just said,

something's not right.

That's where you got to use GameTime.

Tickets are on sale, yeah.

Classic Ticketmaster.

Fuck Ticketmaster.

If Taylor Swift had been logging on a GameTime promo code...

PMT.

PMT.

Everybody out there would have gotten 20 bucks off,

so it would only be like $33,880 to go see your show.

The Swifties might take down Ticketmaster.

Thank you. everybody out there would have gotten 20 bucks off so it would only be like $33,880 to go see your show the Swifties might take down Ticketmaster Zach Bryan was the first guy on this like a year ago he hated Ticketmaster all my homies hate Ticketmaster so we all hate Ticketmaster Ticketmaster is banned from part of my take right now how about that you sussied because you fucked up although I do think that Taylor will write a banger song about this experience.
Oh yeah. About how the CEO of Ticketmaster did her wrong.
Absolutely. Okay.
And I will download it. PFT, your Fyre Fest of the Week.
So we alluded to it. My Fyre Fest is I'm going to be going to Qatar, which is a lovely place filled with great people and a fantastically run government.
And there are some pictures that are coming out via the fake news media, probably CGI'd of some of the fan villages that they have in Qatar. That looks like they're straight out of the actual Fyre Fest.
Some of the accommodations, some of the things where they're showing the stadiums in disrepair, things aren't ready. That's all fake.
The Qatari government is doing a fantastic job rolling out the red carpet, ready for the world stage over in Qatar. it so i'm excited to go and uh not at all worried about uh who's going to inherit my things when i get britney grinder but myself and donnie will have a great trip over there and we can't wait to report for you and uh yeah i feel free to who should who should take over my my spot on the show if i for some reason i don't come back not saying saying the Qatari government would have anything to do with it.
Well, Frank the Tank.

So now, Qatari government, huge AWLs,

don't do it. Yeah.

We just fucking played hardball.

Yeah. So the ball

is in your corner. Another podcast host.

Yep.

Didn't you promise troops?

I did promise troops, but troops is also

very high, so I was just hoping he wouldn't remember that if I said it.

Okay, well, you're going to be okay.

Oh, also, boomers would fucking slap.

If Frank did it?

Oh, my God.

Oh, the Green Bay lacquers.

The Green Bay lacquers, yeah.

Yeah, I do have a betting strategy, though,

because I know the games start this weekend.

We got Ecuador, and Ecuador's my South American team. Love Ecuador, the tricolors.
My strategy in the opening round of the World Cup in the group stage, I'm just going to bet every game to be a tie across the board. I'm rooting for ties nonstop.
You usually get good plus signs next to them, and you'll always see great teams accidentally tying a shitty team. When does it start officially? It starts on Sunday.
I will be betting all the overs and losing and getting mad at soccer. Okay, just come along and they bet the ties.
I'm telling you, it also makes it real simple to remember what you bet if you just look at the scores and just ties everywhere. I'm not giving any gambling advice, but I saw a tweet from a reporter that said that Ecuadorian players

were getting paid off by the Qatari government

to let the...

Qatari government would never bill yourself a smirch.

It's fake news.

It's fucked up.

And they said it'd end 1-0

after the end of the second half.

Well, that's not going to happen because there's too much ethics in Qatar for that. This isn't gambling advice.
Qatar is a wonderful country filled with a well-run, established government, and they have nothing but the utmost respect for fair play and the spirit of the FIFA World Cup. As the world comes together on the grandest stage of them all, Qatar.
According to my sources and Ecuadorian sources and Qatar.

Will you stop this, Billy?

You're going to get my fucking head cut off.

No, they'll come get me.

That's not how it works.

Okay, my fire fest is I updated my iPhone.

Don't do that.

Sucks.

Everything is on the bottom now.

Why the fuck did they do that?

I don't know.

Have you done it?

No. Don't do it.
And then my other fire fest is I had to live, uh,

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't the fuck did they do that? I don't know. Have you done it? No.
Don't do it. And then my other fire fest is I had to live a day in Henry Lockwood's shoes, and I don't recommend that to anyone.
I went to the Toledo game on Tuesday night. I did the math.
I purchased 5% of all tickets in the 50-50 raffle. Max was there with me.

He saw it.

Can't confirm.

I literally, they ran out of, they ran out of, like the machine broke.

They ran out of receipts.

They were like, I think you have more coming, but we can't get any more out.

So I was like, fuck it.

That was probably the winning ticket.

But Hank just replied, which was all fair play, says, have you ever won?

And it hurt me really bad.

And it realized, you know what?

I'm not going to do this anymore.

I'm not going to be mean to Hank.

It was mean of me. So I saw what it looked like from the other side, and it sucks because I'm never going to win the 50-50 raffle.

I had 500 numbers.

The pot was like 10 grand.

You had 2,000 numbers.

2,000 numbers.

You had 2,000 numbers.

I asked the lovely. Put the camera on yourself max okay all right we're gonna have to fix that by the way it's a wild angle um i i asked the people who were giving out i was like is this the biggest purchase you've had today and you're they were like this is the purchase any of us have ever seen in this entire and it was great too because it was uh because it was the 50-50 raffle.
There was, like, obviously a stoolie who was part of running it, and they basically, like a whale at a casino, like, pulled me out of the crowd. They're like, Big Cat, check it out! And I just fucking gave all my money up.
He was also losing his bets at the time and was in, like, very sad cat mode, and it'm going to lose. I'll walk over to the 50-50 and I will give them more money for me to lose.
I was at a point where if I win this 50-50 I think I'd be even for the night. It just didn't happen.
Hank, I'm going to stop being me. I feel you, Billy, you're fire fest.
I went like one for seven from three in our rec league basketball game. You were hucking.
Yeah, it was terrible. That's why I keep shooting.
Watching Billy play basketball is exactly how you would think Billy plays basketball. He throws elbows, shoulders, very physical, and then he goes up for these shots, and the ball goes direct line very hard at the rim.
It's exactly what you would imagine. You were a defensive force.
Yeah, we had to play hard and we also lost which sucked. We were missing a lot of players.
Maybe one for seven from three wasn't. Well, someone had to shoot.
A lot of our shooters were out. That's true.
I like that. Alright, don't beat yourself up.
I'll give you the same speech I just gave Hank. Just keep shooting.
I will. Keep guessing lottery ball numbers.
Sometimes I'm hot. Sometimes you're not.
All right, Jake. Finish us off.
Yeah. So I had a family wedding over the weekend.
We had to get there early for pictures. And I may have delayed the process because I was in my eye for a little bit.
You were late? The whole wedding? You were hungover? Oh. Oh, you were coming off a bender? Yeah? You had to poop? Oh, Jake.
He was coming off a bender. That time of month.
Better a Saturday than Friday during the broadcast. Yeah, I guess.
But, Jake, the whole wedding waited for you while you diarrhea-ed? It was in and out. Oh, man.
The wedding party or everybody? Of the pictures? My family. So you could get back to the bathroom? No, it was all clean.
What was the bathroom situation like there? They have those baskets. Those baskets are like the mints.
Yeah, those are nice. And like the tums.
Wet wipes. Oh, did you hit the tums? Yeah.
Nice. That's a great basket.
It's just like a great utility basket in a wedding. I love the wedding basket in the bathroom.
It's fantastic. It usually has like a little bit of cologne in there.
Bruce herself up. You feel nice.
That sucks. How's your butt now? 17.
I haven't said numbers yet. I haven't said numbers yet.
I think it's all fair after the last segment when Jake speaks. No, no, no ready? Numbers.
Numbers. Wait, I'm going to stand up for Hank on this one because when you said, all right, let's finish us off.
I say numbers. Yeah, but I think Hank should be allowed to pick seven.
That's fine. He can take it.
He can take it because 17 is definitely going to hit this time. I didn't call false start.
I said numbers. I said I didn't say numbers yet.
Hank is definitely not wasting his pick when he takes 17 on this one. Ready? Numbers.
69. Hank, have you ever gotten this? Fuck you.
I'm going to go 16. I'll go.
Oh, you got 18? I'll take 18. Yeah, go ahead.
What do you got, Max? 20. I'm going to go with.
What's the number that people have been telling you to guess that you've seen in your Twitter? I saw 53. 49? All right, I'll go 49.
If I was guessing other people's numbers, I would. 49.
You've never gotten this? Nope. That's crazy, dude.
People are starting to wonder if 17's even in there. That would be the funniest twist of all time.
I see. Fuck.
It's not going to come up. Oh, it's going under.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
No, no, no. 64.
I saw the... Oh, that was so good.
64. Upside down.
If I had gone 49, you would have had to. KMS.
Max, don't play the music too early on this one. This is a really good animal fact.
Okay, this was for the lightning snow. Yeah, Max, definitely don't do that.
No, this was for the lightning snow. Love you guys.
Buffalo are the only animals that go towards snow storms because they know the last storm is going away from snow. That does kind of rocks.
That's fucking pretty awesome. I would like their first time if they go towards the storm and it's going through the storm.
There should be an ACDC talking about that.

So good for the snow.

No one is hearing this. We'll be right back.
This sounds like it's fun. Oh, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, I'm going to be Thank you.
