Speaker 22 Barstool fan, big time AWL, in studio talking about the NFL, sources, all good stuff with him.

Speaker 24 We have one question with a quarterback with Matt Ryan.

Speaker 27 We're going to talk a little Monday night football, the commanders' big win over the Eagles.

Speaker 28 Stand up.

Speaker 29 College football

Speaker 33 Okay,

Speaker 34 let's go.

Speaker 34 Now in the street, there is violence.

Speaker 34 And I not like the solvent work to be done.

Speaker 34 No place place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 34 And then I can't blame all on the sun. Oh, no, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue.

Speaker 34 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 34 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Electhe.

Speaker 35 Part of my Take Avenue

Speaker 23 higher.

Speaker 1 Welcome to Part of My Take.

Speaker 2 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 2 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 37 Today is Wednesday, November 16th, and the Washington Commanders are back.

Speaker 2 We might be good.

Speaker 2 PFT. I think we might be good.
And I'll tell you who's not back. Carson Wentz.
Because this is Taylor Heinz's team right now. He's done.

Speaker 42 But PFT, I texted you in the middle of that game, and I was like, it's kind of crazy how many good skill positions the Washington Commanders have.

Speaker 29 And I agree with you.

Speaker 45 You might be good.

Speaker 2 I think we are good. And as we said, I think it was about a year ago on this show, we said you got to take the Taylor Heineke's with the Taylor Loneke's.
Yep.

Speaker 2 And he had a little bit of both last night. If you look at the stat sheet, you probably see that and you're like, oh, he had a very pedestrian game.
But no, he's a good quarterback.

Speaker 14 He made big-time throws, big-time plays.

Speaker 2 He's got great receivers.

Speaker 8 He also made the kneel-down, which was a

Speaker 6 heads-up play by him.

Speaker 2 And the way that he celebrates the kneel-down after he gets hit, I've never seen a quarterback celebrate roughing the passer as well as Taylor Haneki did.

Speaker 48 I actually think they should have picked up the flag after the celebration.

Speaker 49 It's like, no, you're too happy about this because you didn't even really get hit.

Speaker 47 You're way too happy about this.

Speaker 2 So he tried to do that. I think he was baiting them, and it ended up working.

Speaker 2 It was not the greatest ending to the game, but by the rule, he made the right play, and it was the right call.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was my big point.

Speaker 52 People were very upset.

Speaker 8 I understand.

Speaker 20 If you had the Eagles, there was a couple missed calls.

Speaker 17 The face mask and the fumble was bad, very bad.

Speaker 2 There's a Phantom PI also.

Speaker 29 There's a Phantom PI also.

Speaker 54 And the way the game ended sucked.

Speaker 16 But with that said, we all know that this is how the NFL is trending.

Speaker 8 We talk about it like every other week that they protect the quarterbacks to an insane level.

Speaker 58 So

Speaker 15 I don't like the rule, but I also understand that the ref threw the flag, and by the letter of the law, they protect the quarterbacks to such an extent now that you can't touch them.

Speaker 60 Like you basically can't touch the quarterback.

Speaker 2 him. It was Graham that hit him, right? Yeah, I think Graham after the play was like, Yeah, I know I fucked up.
It was stupid, but I fucked up and I shouldn't have done it.

Speaker 61 It was a lame way for the game to end.

Speaker 2 It's also, I sympathize with the defensive lineman or a linebacker that is in that position because it's almost impossible to stop. Yeah.
Like, it's hard to stop your momentum when you're doing that.

Speaker 2 The defensive line looked awesome. Our offensive line, actually, I think that's the reason why we were able to win.
Our offensive line played incredible.

Speaker 2 Our running game, just in terms of time of possession, in the first half, we had a 17-minute, 38-second time of possession edge.

Speaker 62 51 plays.

Speaker 2 So we kept Jalen Hurts on the sideline in the second quarter, which is where he does all his damage. And no team's been able to do that yet.

Speaker 64 I thought Scott Turner called it a beautiful game.

Speaker 14 So, and we'll talk about the Eagles in a sec, but the Commanders went into that game with a perfect game plan.

Speaker 1 Just not only offensively, but how to keep Jalen Hurts from gashing them with runs.

Speaker 67 They kept everything in front of them.

Speaker 14 They played a really good game.

Speaker 17 Yes, there were some lucky

Speaker 9 turnover luck.

Speaker 2 We got very lucky on the face mask and then on the

Speaker 2 Forrest got that fumble off of the Quez Watkins. Like, it was a sick play.
It was like a 50-yard gain.

Speaker 24 He should have just been like Tyler Lockett and just stay down to the ball.

Speaker 2 Just stay down. That's Tyler Lockett's a beast.

Speaker 2 I'm going to catch a ball, then I'm going to hit Y.

Speaker 44 I'm obviously biased because I did bid on the Eagles, Max.

Speaker 17 I want to hear from you.

Speaker 8 But

Speaker 1 this is an unbiased take of it, even though people will claim unbiased.

Speaker 71 I actually think that was like the perfect way for the Eagles to get their first loss because you don't want to lose, but

Speaker 3 I saw the quotes afterwards.

Speaker 1 AJ Brown was smiling.

Speaker 70 He's like, we can stop talking about this undefeated bullshit.

Speaker 25 They had a game that they like basically had everything go wrong for them and still almost had a chance to win it at the end if that if that penalty doesn't happen.

Speaker 3 And if you're an Eagles fan, you're probably freaking out a little bit. The last two games you've gotten gashed by the run.

Speaker 8 Jordan Davis is the difference. Like, Jordan Davis has been out.

Speaker 38 I saw the stat.

Speaker 4 It was something like

Speaker 17 with Jordan Davis in the lineup, the Eagles are giving up like two and a half yards per carry. And then without him, it's like five and a half yards.

Speaker 52 So he comes back, I think he can come back week 13 or 14.

Speaker 17 So like that, if Jordan Davis is out for the year, I'd be like, the Eagles are in big trouble because they can't, their defensive line has no bulk and they can't stop anyone.

Speaker 60 But if you're an Eagles fan, I actually think you walk away from that that being like, okay, refocus time.

Speaker 75 Like going undefeated would have been cool, but there's a lot of pressure that comes with that.

Speaker 17 Now you can just focus on cleaning up the things, the mistakes you made.

Speaker 36 And there is an element of that game that was a little bit fluky.

Speaker 17 I do think the commanders played better, but like the fumbles and the turnovers and the face mask and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 Joey Sly hit two 54-yard plus field goals.

Speaker 76 Bombs. Joey Sly.

Speaker 2 It was a nice little callback to when I think Rivera was his coach, or maybe it was right after Rivera left the Panthers, where they would send Joey Sly out at the end of every half to try like a 62-yard field goal.

Speaker 2 Yeah. It would absolutely kill his make percentage on the year.

Speaker 2 Best play of the night last night, Taylor Heineke's incomplete pass. Yeah.
The best incompletion I've ever seen. The most important incompletion of the game.

Speaker 2 Troy Aikman nutted himself when he saw that because if, now I will say, like, if Carson Wentz had tried to chase down a ball that got snapped over his head 25 yards in the backfield,

Speaker 2 excuse me, pick up and throw it out of bounds. Like, he would have spontaneously combusted.
He was just like lit on fire. He would have broken both of his ankles.
It would have been a disaster.

Speaker 2 But Heineke, man, he's got... He is the living embodiment of the edge.
He's just always on that edge. And I love it on that plane ride back.
They were putting the chains on him.

Speaker 2 Never seen something like that happen after a game. You can tell that the guys really love him.

Speaker 78 Like, that's a cool guy.

Speaker 2 Yes. You know that you're a cool guy that your teammates love if they put chains on you.
And that's a guy that you can never talk shit about.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Taylor Heineke is is fun.

Speaker 2 I hope he, I hope, like, I'm rooting now for Taylor Heineke to play consistent enough football that he can get a full starting job because he is fun for the league,

Speaker 80 fun to root for.

Speaker 2 Taylor Heineke is good for football.

Speaker 73 Yeah, he is. He's a fun

Speaker 45 quarterback.

Speaker 2 It's crazy because I'm finding myself agreeing with you.

Speaker 2 I'm almost like,

Speaker 2 let's give Heineke like another year.

Speaker 59 It's just a consistency.

Speaker 82 Kenny, Kenny, I like Ray's.

Speaker 37 We know his ceiling.

Speaker 1 It's pretty good.

Speaker 56 It's Kenny Rays' floor.

Speaker 8 Kenny not have the Taylor Heineke games where it's like, what the hell is going on?

Speaker 57 We could have won this game if you played like average football.

Speaker 29 If he can get to that, why not try?

Speaker 2 A lot of it has to do with the offensive line play because when Carson Wentz was back there, he was getting like one second to pass the ball.

Speaker 2 And that's not the quarterback that you want when things are breaking down.

Speaker 2 Besides that first strip sack of the game where our left tackle just straight up got blown off the ball.

Speaker 2 I think that was Sweat that got that one. That was a great play by him.
But besides that, our offensive line played really well, and we don't have a good offensive line. Yeah.

Speaker 2 We've been really bad this year. And so to see that come together was pretty awesome.
Brian Robinson, I don't know if you're aware of this. Brian Robinson got shot.

Speaker 60 He did get shot. He get shot.

Speaker 2 They love saying that Brian Robinson got shot. And the way that he runs is electric.
Like, he just, he runs directly into, he loves contact.

Speaker 88 He's a bowling ball.

Speaker 2 He just, he picks a defensive tackle and he runs at the defensive tackle and he gets like three and a half, four yards every time. But that's kind of his move.

Speaker 16 He's just trying to knock knock people over.

Speaker 16 Max, do you want to chime in?

Speaker 40 Because this is

Speaker 90 a team.

Speaker 2 I want to say something to Max real quick because Max, I know, is probably tough, and you lost the undefiegled season. I also lost the undefielded bet, which is probably good for my long-term.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Hank did too, for long-term employment.

Speaker 2 Because I think that if enough people had bet on it, the payouts would have just bankrupted Barstool Sports. So it's kind of a good thing that they lost.
But I know it's a tough time for you.

Speaker 2 So I got you

Speaker 2 your Christmas bonus. I got it for you early.
I bought you a pair of Jordan 4s, the metallic ones

Speaker 2 in green.

Speaker 2 Taylor actually hit me up last night. That's the kind that he's getting today.
So I'm getting you some Eagles-colored Jordans as your Christmas presents.

Speaker 9 Beautiful.

Speaker 2 I hope that takes the sting off it a little bit, Max. I'll match.

Speaker 92 Oh, wow.

Speaker 86 Yeah, I'll match.

Speaker 25 So when you figure out, when you find them, PFT, let's buy two pairs.

Speaker 45 I already found them.

Speaker 9 All right, sorry, two pairs.

Speaker 93 Two pairs. We'll match.

Speaker 78 Yeah, that really helps a lot. Thank you.
Thank you for that. Yeah.

Speaker 78 But I don't know.

Speaker 94 I was about to say basically exactly what you said, big cat.

Speaker 78 Like, Jordan Davis being out really makes a difference for the Rundee.

Speaker 87 And I don't know.

Speaker 95 You don't want to go undefeated anyway.

Speaker 78 Right. So, like, last night.

Speaker 9 Wait, no, no.

Speaker 29 No. You don't wait.

Speaker 61 You would like to wait. No.
I think

Speaker 10 I would prefer to go

Speaker 29 20-00.

Speaker 73 I would prefer to.

Speaker 73 20-0?

Speaker 16 I'd prefer to go 20-0.

Speaker 92 Well, I'm saying regular season.

Speaker 69 You I don't want to go into the playoffs on the feeding.

Speaker 29 Why?

Speaker 94 Because you're going to slip up.

Speaker 95 That's exactly what A.J.

Speaker 78 Brown said. The narrative of going 17-0 is done.

Speaker 97 It is a lot of pressure.

Speaker 2 Yeah, now it's get the one seed, which

Speaker 95 I was.

Speaker 98 Are you nervous? I'm a little bit more upset that

Speaker 78 the Vikings.

Speaker 60 Oh, yeah, definitely, PFT.

Speaker 42 This actually goes even more into the Vikings' lucky season narrative.

Speaker 56 Like, they are,

Speaker 1 they're getting all the breaks right now, but you still beat them head to head yeah and people are gonna i i i know that uh people want to say the eagles are frauds the steelers remember the 11-0 steelers who the commanders beat the commanders are just you know the slayers of dragons i always thought that team like there was something it just wasn't it didn't feel uh as real i think the eagles are still a very very good team like there's no fraudulence to it they haven't played a tough schedule but they've also beaten the fuck out of a lot of teams that steelers team was definitely the the worst 11-0 team team of all time.

Speaker 2 And this Eagles team's really good. I would not be worried if I were you.
I would just make a note that

Speaker 2 if this does end up impacting the home field advantage situation in the playoffs, that's going to be very bad for us.

Speaker 5 You have to retroactively apologize.

Speaker 2 Well, I've also, I asked Commissioner Goodell, I said, please, please review that face mask. I didn't want to accept that face mask.

Speaker 13 I said that's a bad call.

Speaker 2 I wanted him to take that off the board.

Speaker 2 He didn't get back to me in time, so I can only go with what the result of the game is. But I disavowed that call.
I say that fumble recovery should never have happened.

Speaker 78 I appreciate your disavow.

Speaker 90 That was very big of you.

Speaker 101 Yeah.

Speaker 78 Yeah, I probably would have had a different tune if we were recording last night, but after sleeping on it, it's like,

Speaker 78 feel a little bit better. It's all right.

Speaker 25 Just don't let one bad game become two.

Speaker 74 That's really all it is.

Speaker 1 Like, if you win on Sunday against the Colts, it's, I don't think there's anything that changes about how I feel about the EV.

Speaker 78 And I, like, Hurts didn't play like that badly his pick pick to A.J.

Speaker 94 Brown. A.J.
Brown didn't have a great game.

Speaker 97 Oh, he was banged up. Yeah.

Speaker 78 But that wasn't on Hurts. And he made a play to take the lead.

Speaker 29 And Quez Watkins, I don't know why he fell.

Speaker 91 That was a ball right on the dime.

Speaker 53 I know.

Speaker 78 And he dove for it. Like, that's a touchdown.

Speaker 31 If he just stayed up.

Speaker 45 Yeah, I gave it up.

Speaker 78 So, like, the fumble being one thing, but if he just catches that ball, that's a Jalen Hurts. That's like a...

Speaker 78 Like a highlight moment of Jalen Hurts' career of making a deep bomb to win the game.

Speaker 2 That was giving major Deshaun Jackson. Yeah.

Speaker 68 Yeah, entire play.

Speaker 78 He just dove for no reason.

Speaker 91 Hank, why are you laughing?

Speaker 51 People just said that's giving Deshaun Jackson dead seriously.

Speaker 2 I just said because I knew that Hank was going to just wince.

Speaker 70 Yeah, I mean, Hank, do you have anything you want to say to Max?

Speaker 51 No, I mean, I.

Speaker 78 It is bullshit that after the game, I'm more worried about Hank giving me shit than I am about PFT.

Speaker 51 I had the undefeagled bet, so I was upset.

Speaker 51 But, you know, as basically a Philly fan, I tweeted Joel Unbeat at 59 points last night. Who cares?

Speaker 101 And people were just so mean.

Speaker 100 I do love.

Speaker 106 It's crazy.

Speaker 64 Like, Philadelphia is, I know they've had a moment, so to speak, because, you know, the Phillies run in the union.

Speaker 9 All the losing.

Speaker 13 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the losing.

Speaker 70 The fact that the Eagles fans booed the team going into halftime is so fucking funny.

Speaker 36 Like

Speaker 54 any other fan base, I'd be like bad fans, but like it's so Philly that I was like, yeah, you know what?

Speaker 45 Love it.

Speaker 59 It shows that they're still alive.

Speaker 62 They're still, like, you know what I mean?

Speaker 17 If they had, if they hadn't booed, I would have been like, what's wrong with Philly?

Speaker 27 Have they lost the step?

Speaker 107 No, they booed their undefeated team for being down six at halftime in Monday night football.

Speaker 17 It's good.

Speaker 2 That's funny. It's a very good test.

Speaker 45 That's fucking funny.

Speaker 2 And, I mean, I wouldn't say that they necessarily deserve to be booed if they were any team besides the Philadelphia Eagles, but it just fits.

Speaker 2 Like, if you don't, if that's going to piss you off, then you shouldn't be playing in Philly. Yeah.

Speaker 60 Yeah, exactly right. So, a fun game.

Speaker 2 Hank, I got a question for you. Would you rather go undefeated?

Speaker 109 Yes. Okay.

Speaker 61 I would like to be able to.

Speaker 51 I think that opportunity to be the best football team of all time is enticing.

Speaker 78 How many times have you seen your team go undefeated in the regular season?

Speaker 2 I think it was once. Once.

Speaker 78 And how many times did that team ⁇ that was a bad way of wording - did they win the Super Bowl?

Speaker 51 They did not, but it's like, you know, it possibly the ball.

Speaker 16 I'm going to put my hand up right now if

Speaker 25 either of my teams,

Speaker 39 the Bears or the Badgers,

Speaker 5 if they ever wanted to go undefeated and not lose a single game in the entire season, I'd be cool with that.

Speaker 2 I would say that I would appreciate if the Commanders just didn't lose from now on.

Speaker 55 Yeah, like,

Speaker 57 yeah, I'd be cool with that.

Speaker 67 I would be cool with a full 20-0. That'd be pretty cool.

Speaker 78 I truly was hoping to go 16-0 and then lose the meaningless 17th game.

Speaker 2 That was probably a realistic scenario as well.

Speaker 78 That would have been best case scenario in my mind.

Speaker 2 I'm just just thinking to myself that the commanders win

Speaker 65 the Eagles playoffs.

Speaker 9 Yes.

Speaker 53 You take a bye with your backup and then have a bye.

Speaker 14 So basically, have

Speaker 46 two full weeks that you don't play any football.

Speaker 101 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 I'm just worried that the commanders beating the Eagles is going to make the Eagles lose homefield advantage.

Speaker 2 It's going to go to the Vikings, and then the Vikings are going to go to the Super Bowl because the Commanders beat the Eagles.

Speaker 87 I got to be honest.

Speaker 51 You guys have always had the Vikings hate.

Speaker 51 I am pretty adamantly rooting for the Vikings.

Speaker 86 That's cool.

Speaker 9 You have to get a tattoo.

Speaker 90 I know.

Speaker 78 Oh, Shocker, the team that's competing with the Eagles for the one seed.

Speaker 39 Interesting.

Speaker 111 That is a good point. Speaking of undefeated, Larry Zonka gave a shout-out to the Commanders.

Speaker 9 Oh, wow. Dolphins.
Wow.

Speaker 2 Mercury Morris always pops his head out of whatever pile of cocaine that he's in at the time to just say, hey, all right, we're still tops.

Speaker 43 The craziest part about this game, too, is that

Speaker 17 all the talk has been about the AFC East being maybe getting all four teams in.

Speaker 112 The NFC East could absolutely get all four teams in.

Speaker 2 The Beasts are back.

Speaker 24 They probably won't just because of scheduling, because the Commanders have to play the Giants twice.

Speaker 67 There probably will be a moment where they beat each other up too much

Speaker 14 that

Speaker 4 whether it be the Seahawks, the Niners, the Packers, one of those teams slips in.

Speaker 25 But it would, like, I'm not ruling out the Commanders.

Speaker 22 At five and five, I think if the

Speaker 59 no, if the playoffs started right now, I think the Niners would be in the Niners

Speaker 2 would be in over them.

Speaker 83 But

Speaker 2 there's a lot of football left to be played.

Speaker 2 And I did go searching deep on the internet i went to the deep web looking for some playoff machines and playoff simulators why do we not start the playoff machines in like week eight

Speaker 2 because i want to see what that bracket looks like right now i want to see who's in the hunt i was looking all over the place high and low for it and i could not find an accurate like playoff simulator where i could select you know okay this is a win that's a loss this is a win that's a loss i think the way it stands now if i understand nate silver's numbers which um i probably don't but I think it's like a 33% chance that the Commanders make the playoffs this year.

Speaker 29 Wow.

Speaker 70 They have, I mean, they're at the Texans and versus the Falcons, and then at the Giants have the late buy.

Speaker 66 Yeah, watch out for the Commanders.

Speaker 24 Billy, what are you going to say?

Speaker 103 My only point was on the roughing the passer penalty. That kind of thing is the same way that they think it would be a bad thing for franchise quarterbacks to get hurt.

Speaker 103 The same magic we're seeing with Heineke is the result of a franchise quarterback getting hurt. So we think that it would always be negative, but well, Carson Wentz, I wouldn't call.

Speaker 2 No, he was. Carson was great.
It was very sad to see him get hurt.

Speaker 2 I hope he hurries back as soon as possible to play for a different team and has a long career with them. Hopefully a team that we get to play twice a year.

Speaker 2 But yeah, I'd say that's a net positive that Carson Wentz got a boo-boo on his back.

Speaker 16 And

Speaker 37 most teams with franchise quarterbacks don't have very good backups.

Speaker 4 Right, but that's like the commanders, it feels like they went in this season being like Carson Wentz, but we also need Taylor Heineke because it's Carson Wentz.

Speaker 2 And with the Commanders, there's always something going on with a team.

Speaker 2 It's alternating, being exciting, frustrating, sometimes just very sad. Like Ron Rivera's mom passed away earlier in the week, and then he was crying the post-game.

Speaker 2 There's always something around the team that's just

Speaker 9 a tragedy just lurking.

Speaker 2 Just tragedy just circling us.

Speaker 2 I don't know if this is what it's like for every other team in the NFL, but it just seems like there's always something going on. Yeah.

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 17 All right. So great Monday Night Football game.

Speaker 18 That was a lot of fun.

Speaker 20 Taylor Heineke is fun.

Speaker 27 The Commanders are back.

Speaker 26 Max not worried at all.

Speaker 29 At all.

Speaker 9 I agree with you.

Speaker 14 And there was Vikings fans who were like, how are the Eagles not called frauds?

Speaker 57 It's like, well, the Eagles did beat the shit out of the Vikings.

Speaker 53 So that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 94 I want to make sure you didn't say just beat.

Speaker 69 No, no. Just stop.

Speaker 33 No, I know.

Speaker 6 They had a head-to-head game.

Speaker 36 And like, you know, Vikings fans will make an argument that it was week two and they've changed.

Speaker 6 The Vikings, we admitted on Monday.

Speaker 72 The Vikings are a very good team.

Speaker 113 They are, they're a very good team.

Speaker 2 Did you see the uh, so we talked a little bit yesterday off the pod about uh the screenshot that was going around with the Vikings Bills in overtime, yeah, where uh, somebody pointed out that there were 12 men on the field for the bills, and then I looked at it, was one of the first things I looked at when I woke up.

Speaker 2 So, I had I had bed eyes, you know, just opened up my eyes, I zoomed in on it, and I was trying to figure out: wait, I only see that number three is just over a blade of grass, there's only 11 guys on the field.

Speaker 2 I I think it's been settled that there were in fact 12 people.

Speaker 9 There were 12 on the field.

Speaker 14 And it was a very funny moment because you texted us like, I don't know, it was maybe 8.30 in the morning, and I had been up for a while

Speaker 67 and I was like, PFT, I literally went through this exact same process with bed eyes, looking at it, and then woke up and like, you know, took a shower and then looked at it again and was like, oh, yeah, I see this.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so there were, in fact, 12 people. But it's crazy because that is, I think that was Buddy Ryan's Polish goal line defense.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Buddy Ryan came up with a strategy when he was on the Eagles, or it might have even been when he was on the Bears, where if you're in a situation where it's inside the five-yard line, just put like 12 guys back there and see if the refs

Speaker 2 if they call it big deal because you only give up like a yard and a half.

Speaker 2 And if they don't call it, you get to run a play with 12 defenders out there, which is what ended up happening with the Bills, and it worked out for him in the moment.

Speaker 15 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 52 Okay, let's talk some college football.

Speaker 8 Then we have some interviews.

Speaker 70 We have Peter Schrager coming up.

Speaker 58 College football, PFT was right.

Speaker 41 Washington takes down Oregon.

Speaker 13 I hate myself for

Speaker 14 I like, I looked at the, I basically went back into the lab and tried to figure out what happened with the Chernobyl explosion in my brain with the Pac-12.

Speaker 38 I realized that I just want the Pac-12 to be relevant because it's fun for college football.

Speaker 67 When in reality, I should have seen coming from a mile away the Pac-12 in November eating itself alive.

Speaker 21 And it wasn't just Washington beating Oregon and eliminating Oregon.

Speaker 55 It was Arizona beating UCLA late at night as like a 20-point underdog and eliminating UCLA.

Speaker 14 So now the Pac-12 is just down to USC.

Speaker 31 And USC has to run the table.

Speaker 2 That's your last hope.

Speaker 54 And that was the big stuff out west.

Speaker 14 And then the big, big story is that TCU, whether you want to say that they've gotten lucky or not, they're a really good football team.

Speaker 44 And they went into Texas and they smothered a Texas offense that people thought or had high hopes for.

Speaker 17 And TCU completely owns its own destiny.

Speaker 8 They win.

Speaker 16 I think they have to play Baylor. They've already clinched the pack or the Big 12 championship.

Speaker 2 They're going to play Baylor, and Baylor is coming off of getting absolutely destroyed by Kansas. So then after that, I think that would mean that TCU would play either Kansas State or maybe Texas.

Speaker 14 Yeah, although Texas,

Speaker 108 Texas might lose to Kansas this weekend.

Speaker 2 Texas, they might.

Speaker 71 There's no difference between what Sark has done so far at Texas and what Tom Herman had did. Actually, Tom Herman was better at this point.

Speaker 2 Tom Herman was about the same at this point.

Speaker 79 He beat more ranked teams.

Speaker 62 He went to

Speaker 62 a bull.

Speaker 1 I know it's just Arch Manning.

Speaker 2 Stark got Arch Manning and also he almost beat Alabama.

Speaker 68 He almost beat Alabama.

Speaker 99 But like Quinn Ewers, and maybe it's injury, he's been just bad

Speaker 108 for the last four or five games.

Speaker 8 And much like we talk about, you know, the games that we think have meaning that don't later on in the season, Texas killing Oklahoma felt significant in the moment.

Speaker 33 Oklahoma sucks.

Speaker 16 So it's like Quinn Ewers had this incredible game, and we all walked away being like, Quinn Ewers, oh my God.

Speaker 71 Well, it turns out that Oklahoma is just a fucking absolute dumpster fire of a team right now.

Speaker 2 I could see Texas winning this week and then actually, it would be the most Texas thing ever to win a Big 12 going, what would that be, 7, 4, 8, and 4? Yeah.

Speaker 2 And there's a bunch of obvious flaws on the team, and we're not sure if Sark's good, but they get that little one jewel in in their diamond that they can be like, okay, this is going in the right direction.

Speaker 2 This is going the right direction, right?

Speaker 3 But I just don't, it's funny because there was a lot made, like the close loss to Alabama, and Alabama's not Alabama, or you know, of the past,

Speaker 70 deluded us all to be like, Sark's got this thing going in the right direction, and then he loses to Texas Tech and has the big moment where game days there, national spotlight, and the offense lays an absolute egg against TCU, which TCU has not been like lighting the world on fire defensively.

Speaker 14 But TCU, like, at some point, a team gets to a point in the season where if you want to say luck, that's fine.

Speaker 5 And actually, this is very similar to the Vikings.

Speaker 70 They just know how to win football games.

Speaker 16 Like, they're just nails.

Speaker 69 They're down.

Speaker 26 They come back.

Speaker 17 They win close games.

Speaker 26 There has to be something to be said about a team that has that ability, grit, whatever you want to call it, to just be able to win, come up in big moments with big plays to win football games.

Speaker 26 Maybe they're not blowing people out, but it doesn't fucking matter when you're 10-0 in November.

Speaker 15 Yeah.

Speaker 33 It doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 I just think Texas, their ceiling is really, really high and their floor is really, really low. And that's kind of been the story for them for

Speaker 2 the last like five years, six years. And yeah, they just need some form of consistency because they don't have it right now.
But I still think any given set they can beat TCU. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And they, I mean, they weren't out of this game. It was 17-10.

Speaker 47 Yeah, no,

Speaker 4 it was a defensive slug fest, even though everyone thought it was going to be a shootout, myself included.

Speaker 59 Other things.

Speaker 17 So now as it stands, if like everything, let's just say everyone won the rest of their games, it would be Georgia, TCU, USC, and the winner of Ohio State, Michigan.

Speaker 98 That would be the college football playoff.

Speaker 41 I don't know.

Speaker 16 I would say that there's probably going to be some chaos involved in there.

Speaker 43 The one thing I don't want is the chaos to be TCU loses, USC loses, and then we get a college football playoff of just Michigan, Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee.

Speaker 85 I think that would kind of suck.

Speaker 2 Michigan, Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee would be.

Speaker 100 And there's also some UNC fans like, hey, what about us?

Speaker 8 Because we quietly have had one loss, but the ACC has been so bad.

Speaker 2 Well, if you got those four in, it would probably be Tennessee against Georgia.

Speaker 2 If they were not before, they would make it.

Speaker 31 They would mix it up.

Speaker 2 And then Ohio State against Michigan again.

Speaker 8 Well, no, what they would do is Georgia would be one.

Speaker 24 Georgia's basically won no matter what, right?

Speaker 24 Georgia would be one.

Speaker 8 The winner of Ohio State, Michigan would be two.

Speaker 43 Tennessee would be three.

Speaker 8 The loser of Ohio State, Michigan would be four.

Speaker 2 I think it all depends on what happens in the Ohio State-Michigan game.

Speaker 29 Yeah, it's going to be close.

Speaker 2 There's a chance that

Speaker 2 we could just see two rematches in the semifinals. Right.

Speaker 60 I think they will avoid it just because they want to avoid that type of matchup.

Speaker 53 That's not sports.

Speaker 6 It would be good for ratings.

Speaker 24 To see Michigan-Ohio State in a playoff game would be incredible for ratings.

Speaker 2 It would be, I guess, just the Tennessee-Georgia game. I would not look forward to that as a Tennessee fan.
Yeah.

Speaker 54 That would not be.

Speaker 2 It seems like what happened in that first matchup between them is not something that's easily fixable.

Speaker 54 Right.

Speaker 4 And it does feel like that was a 14-point game

Speaker 64 on the box score.

Speaker 102 But if you watch it with your eyes, it was like if Georgia wanted to play as hard as they wanted to play for four quarters, it would not be that.

Speaker 55 And LSU still, LSU can still

Speaker 36 run the table and have a very good case to be in the college football playoff.

Speaker 17 And that was the hardest, that was probably the hardest game they were going to have to play after Alabama going to Arkansas 11 a.m.

Speaker 110 kick.

Speaker 5 No KJ Jefferson, but they survive.

Speaker 14 So

Speaker 62 it's fun.

Speaker 25 There's going to be some fun wrinkles and chaos that happens down the stretch.

Speaker 40 And now we have 17, I think I want to say seven teams that realistically can still be in the playoff.

Speaker 43 Eight if you want to include UNC.

Speaker 115 It's fun.

Speaker 1 It's fun to have this many teams

Speaker 108 still alive in November.

Speaker 2 It's also the beginning of plane tracking season in college football. Oh, yeah, Lane Kiffen.
So Lane Kiffen, the Lane Kiffen alert is officially on.

Speaker 2 I don't think Lane Kiffen would leave a job after only a couple years. I think he's a little bit more loyal than that, so it's sad to see people speculating.
But they're saying he might go to Auburn.

Speaker 2 I've got a better idea. Why don't the Raiders fire Josh McDaniels? I like that.
And then they hire Lane Kiffen.

Speaker 2 It's coming home. Lane Kiffen goes to coach for the Raiders again.

Speaker 14 Yes, I like that.

Speaker 2 And for those of you who weren't around the first time Lane Kiffen got fired from the Raiders, it was an all-time moment when Al Davis brought out the overhead projector like your teacher used to bring in, and then just he just put together a PowerPoint presentation without using a computer, just saying what a piece of shit Lane Kiffen was, and that's why he was being fired.

Speaker 2 Meanwhile, his face was falling off.

Speaker 14 Yeah, it was Lane Kiffen has been involved in like two of the most hilarious firings in football history that being left on the tarmac with USC.

Speaker 6 But yeah, that would be great.

Speaker 64 Lane Kiffen, also, his post-game press conference after Alabama, that sounds like a guy who wants to go to Auburn because he essentially was like, we were right there.

Speaker 17 I wish we had a few more dudes.

Speaker 48 And guess who can get a few more dudes?

Speaker 26 Auburn.

Speaker 2 You think Auburn is that much better of a job than Ole Mess?

Speaker 90 Yes.

Speaker 17 Yes. I think it probably has more money.

Speaker 5 I think

Speaker 17 there's probably

Speaker 17 the recruiting talent is probably... I mean, Lane Kiffen's done an incredible job with the transfer portal and everything.

Speaker 110 But if you add the transfer portal and the recruiting to Auburn,

Speaker 69 now you're talking about a national championship.

Speaker 2 He's probably also timing the end of Sabin's career.

Speaker 60 Well, he wants to beat Saban. He just wants to beat him.

Speaker 2 He does, but he probably also knows that Saban's. Saban's probably going to be gone within five years, you would imagine, right?

Speaker 2 And now, if he's in state, clean up the pieces, and then he goes to Alabama.

Speaker 3 And then Auburn's also stuck in the worst spot you could possibly be if you're a college football team.

Speaker 25 Your interim head coach, who's a legend, Cadillac Williams, wins a game, has in two weeks playing against Alabama.

Speaker 8 If they win that game, there's going to be a lot of people people being like, he just has to have, he should just have the job.

Speaker 90 Yeah.

Speaker 14 And then you might get stuck midway through next year being like, wait, what did we do?

Speaker 113 We could have had Lane Kiffin.

Speaker 2 Also, it's really tough to not hire a guy named Cadillac. Yeah.
Like if he's, if he's shown that he can do the job,

Speaker 2 that's a difficult decision to make because

Speaker 2 you differentiate yourself in the market a little bit, in the marketplace, if your head coach's name is Cadillac.

Speaker 29 Absolutely.

Speaker 14 Also, Deion Sanders is trolling Nebraska.

Speaker 112 I don't know if you've seen this.

Speaker 64 He followed Nebraska on Instagram.

Speaker 37 I have no inside information.

Speaker 41 I just know that Deion Sanders does not like cold weather.

Speaker 2 I know a guy that is very close to Deion Sanders, actually. I've got some inside sources.

Speaker 2 I can confirm that Deion Sanders will not be the next head coach

Speaker 2 of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Although

Speaker 2 Deion's probably just using them to get an offer.

Speaker 2 Deion's a good businessman. Yeah.

Speaker 60 He might just stay and just keep building what he's building at Jackson.

Speaker 2 I want to talk to, so Dana is our inside guy at Jackson.

Speaker 2 I want to just get Dion to just jump on a bunch of planes and just travel to every city.

Speaker 2 Like I want him to fly to Auburn. I want him to fly to every single college town that has even a speculative opening and just have everybody going nuts trying to track his plane.

Speaker 17 Yep, I'm in for it.

Speaker 112 I would like to see UNC maybe run the table and see what that looks like just because Drake May is electric.

Speaker 64 But I do think that their loss to Notre Dame at home is going to probably deter people.

Speaker 14 They have been like the most quiet one-loss team in the country.

Speaker 55 Like,

Speaker 62 they're going to get to

Speaker 24 the college football, or sorry, the ACC championship, and everyone's going to be like, wait, UNC only has one loss?

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 35 Huh?

Speaker 2 And I mixed up my former Auburn coaches when I talked about UNC last week. Gene Chizak

Speaker 2 is their defensive coordinator. Defensive coordinator, yes.
Not Gus Malzon. Yeah.
But Gene Chizzak.

Speaker 43 Gus is at UCF,

Speaker 14 who's probably the best Power Five non-Power Five team now.

Speaker 2 That's a shock. That's a shock to me.

Speaker 56 They went to Tulane and beat Tulane, who has the coolest helmets and colorway in all of college football.

Speaker 2 I would say JMU is probably the best group of five before they got injured, but

Speaker 2 UCF's doing fine too, I guess. But it'd be funny to see UNC get into the playoff just because I think that Georgia might be able to hang 100 on them.

Speaker 49 Georgia would just sit on them.

Speaker 77 I think a hundred points.

Speaker 67 Yeah, fat man sitting on

Speaker 67 a small man in a very cool Carolina blue polo.

Speaker 53 That's good.

Speaker 14 That's exactly what it would look like.

Speaker 43 It would just be a total squashing.

Speaker 17 Okay, anything else from college football, Jake?

Speaker 60 You had something?

Speaker 111 Yeah, to your point earlier about LSU still being in the mix. Usually your second loss is the dagger, right? But this year is a little bit different.
We've never seen a two-loss team in the playoffs.

Speaker 111 Correct, that's even a conversation this year, which makes it unique.

Speaker 38 And it will be a big-time problem if they run the table and then they have to, like, Tennessee will have a very, very fair gripe because they went to Baton Rouge and absolutely murdered LSU.

Speaker 3 So they will have a very fair gripe

Speaker 2 if they get left out. I was talking to Big T about that the other day, and Big T will storm.

Speaker 2 He'll find a capital that needs protesting, and he will do some damage if that ends up being a LSU team that gets in ahead of them.

Speaker 5 It's my favorite part of college football season because every fan base is just loaded with their facts and resume.

Speaker 43 So if you ask anyone, like if you ask a Tennessee fan, if you ask an LSU fan, if you ask a TCU fan, they will just have a list of facts that they've been going over in their head ready to go to just be like, you're so wrong.

Speaker 29 Yeah. Just give us 12.

Speaker 111 But then number 13 is the same thing.

Speaker 60 So, all right.

Speaker 13 So here's the only thing I'll say about 12.

Speaker 1 I am very much in favor of 12, but

Speaker 54 a lot of these games wouldn't have meant as much.

Speaker 21 You know what I mean?

Speaker 16 Like UCLA and Oregon would still be in it.

Speaker 18 Like that wouldn't have been as substantial of a loss by the Pac-12 team.

Speaker 62 So, there is an argument.

Speaker 47 I think Tom Fernelli makes that argument that you do lose a little bit because there would be all these teams that are safely in it.

Speaker 116 I still want to.

Speaker 2 But I think, regardless of if there's 12 teams or not, an Oregon-Washington game is going to mean a lot to both those fan bases.

Speaker 2 That's why I thought Washington had a chance. Whenever you have a rivalry game like that later on in the season, when the lesser team has still shown that they can be competent and can be feisty,

Speaker 2 the fact that it's a rivalry game gives it that extra boost sometimes to the underdogs. So, I feel like in a situation like that,

Speaker 2 if it's 12 teams in the playoffs, it shouldn't matter that much. Maybe to like a national audience.

Speaker 85 Yeah, no, I wouldn't mean anything.

Speaker 15 I'm definitely not making that argument.

Speaker 60 I'm just saying some people at Tom Fernelli have made that argument that you lose a little bit of the luster because all these teams, I would love to see a 12-team playoff this year just so that I could see 12-seed Alabama be like plus 150 to win the title.

Speaker 6 Yeah. That would be very funny.

Speaker 16 And, you know, like seeing 12 seed Alabama plus 150 to win the title, and then like

Speaker 46 six seed UNC being like plus 2,000.

Speaker 56 Yeah. Just because it would just be like, okay, we know what's going on.

Speaker 2 You kind of do have me rooting now for UNC to make the Final Four just so just so we can see what Georgia's.

Speaker 90 Smashing.

Speaker 46 Yeah, the absolute smashing.

Speaker 59 Okay, let's get to Hot C Cool Throw.

Speaker 1 And then we have Peter Schrager.

Speaker 9 Give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 117 Sebastian Maniscalco's new stand-up special, It Ain't Right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st.

Speaker 35 30 years ago, Jeff Bezos, complete nerd.

Speaker 118 Bezos now ripped to shreds on his super yacht, and the boxes keep coming.

Speaker 117 Sebastian Maniscalco, It Ain't Right, premieres November 21st, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers. Terms apply.

Speaker 51 Hank, Dan, my hot seat is Yassiel Puig.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, I haven't heard that name in a while.

Speaker 51 Yeah, well, I don't think you'll be hearing that name much ever again, honestly. He's definitely not going to play in the MLB ever again.
He got busted for lying to the FBI

Speaker 51 and being at the center of an underground gambling operation. And it's looking like he's going to be facing real jail time.

Speaker 69 Really?

Speaker 69 So

Speaker 37 the headline was very

Speaker 3 bad, and then the story, I read read it, and it was like he bet, he took out a lot of money, and then he bet 900 bets in three months, and I was like, lightweight dude.

Speaker 106 Yeah,

Speaker 106 here's the quote.

Speaker 51 By June 2019, Puig was down 282 grand

Speaker 51 after paying off 200 grand of his losses and regaining access to the controlled betting websites. He plays 899 additional bets on tennis, football, and basketball games.

Speaker 24 Okay, that's irresponsible.

Speaker 51 July 4th, 2019 to September 29th, 2019.

Speaker 42 And the tennis part is where it becomes irresponsible because that means he was basically like, I'm down.

Speaker 17 What games are on?

Speaker 70 It's like 7 in the morning.

Speaker 48 Oh, they're playing tennis in Australia.

Speaker 2 When you're betting on

Speaker 51 899 bets during the summer is tough.

Speaker 2 When you're betting on gamebase, especially if you're not betting baseball. That you have no intention of ever tuning into.

Speaker 2 Like a sport that you don't watch and a match that you will not be tuning into. That's when you've probably got yourself an old.
But he made a shitload of money, right?

Speaker 2 Didn't he make like $50 million?

Speaker 2 Yeah, probably. Yeah.
So

Speaker 2 I guess it's responsible, right? He didn't lose $50 million.

Speaker 103 What basketball would he be betting on in that time frame?

Speaker 90 FIBA, FIBA World Championship.

Speaker 13 Philippines.

Speaker 46 There's all types of leagues that are going on.

Speaker 2 Israeli?

Speaker 119 At all times.

Speaker 51 The Olympics?

Speaker 98 All times.

Speaker 16 You can always find a basketball.

Speaker 2 A women's basketball? WNBA?

Speaker 102 Yeah, true.

Speaker 53 Fast. Sexist? Yeah.

Speaker 84 Yeah, Yassiel Peak.

Speaker 51 Flash in the Pan.

Speaker 2 He was so good. He was so good.

Speaker 53 Really.

Speaker 51 Absolute cannon.

Speaker 78 Well, there was a clip of him, too, like in wherever.

Speaker 51 I think it might have been

Speaker 51 in China or like Taiwan where he is still.

Speaker 51 He was in right field and he had a put-out at third that was just on a laser. So he still has it, but not in the MLB.

Speaker 57 My cool throne is Pete Davidson.

Speaker 29 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 51 He's now dating.

Speaker 87 Von for Pete. All right.

Speaker 86 That's progressive.

Speaker 87 That's progressive. No, I like that.

Speaker 51 That's the first male bonk on the list.

Speaker 81 He's now dating Emily Razikowski.

Speaker 2 Pete Davidson has fucked every woman on the planet. He's probably going to get bored and come for you next.
And guess what? I bet you Pete David said he could he could talk like 50% of dudes into it.

Speaker 2 Dudes just got it. I don't know what it is, but like, I don't know.
Slay king.

Speaker 97 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Save some for the rest of us, Pete.

Speaker 29 Come on, bro.

Speaker 115 It's not fair.

Speaker 31 What are you going to say, Hank?

Speaker 51 I'm trying to think of how to describe it. I do think he definitely has whatever it is, he's got it, but I also think there's an element of

Speaker 51 sadness. Celebrity? No, definitely not sadness.

Speaker 34 Oh, I think there's actually an element of sadness.

Speaker 51 Once you date Ariana Grande, and then it's like, it's cool, and you date Kim Kardashian, then any girl will date you.

Speaker 2 Yes, it's a Seinfeld episode.

Speaker 74 Yeah, that's how he dates a model.

Speaker 2 That's how it works. Yeah.
So

Speaker 2 if you somehow communicate with the game, people are like, I could date Emily Rise Kelsey.

Speaker 51 It's like, no, you got to date someone famous first.

Speaker 36 Men, maybe.

Speaker 46 You got to get your resume up.

Speaker 2 Yeah. You just have to, once, if a woman sees you dating a beautiful woman, they're like, oh, beautiful women like him.
I'm beautiful. I guess I should like him too.

Speaker 96 Yeah, the word is out.

Speaker 31 Yeah.

Speaker 103 Could it be a PR thing?

Speaker 38 I mean, the sex?

Speaker 103 I don't know. Just like do this to make headlines.

Speaker 29 Maybe. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Yeah. From Emily's side,

Speaker 71 or from Pete's side.

Speaker 100 Pete, I think.

Speaker 51 Well, I'm sure from Emily's side, it's like Dave P. Davidson.
Pete Davidson's like, yeah.

Speaker 85 You can get a PR.

Speaker 56 I do think that Pete is like the Jim Harbaugh.

Speaker 112 Like, are are you addicted to sex? You have a sex problem. You're addicted to sex.

Speaker 18 But, hey, love is love, right?

Speaker 65 Yeah, PFT.

Speaker 28 I mean, PFT is bonking him.

Speaker 2 No, I'm just saying, I think Pete Davidson's he's probably going to fuck everybody. Yes.
If you can hear my voice right now, Pete Davidson eventually will move on to you.

Speaker 70 You're not safe. Lock your door.

Speaker 2 Just accept it.

Speaker 2 If you get into a conversation, male or female, with Pete Davidson at a bar, you're going to go home with him. That's just kind of how it works.

Speaker 51 That's a fact.

Speaker 29 Okay, you're cool thrown.

Speaker 51 Oh, I have another one. Yeah, good.
Boston Sports. Celtics' best record in NBA.
Bruins' best record in the NHL. Patriots in the playoffs as of today.

Speaker 39 They are? Yeah.

Speaker 17 I saw that clip on Twitter of Jason Tatum's technical.

Speaker 29 It was very funny.

Speaker 119 Worst. I mean, it was the worst technical.

Speaker 53 Tim Duncan somewhere

Speaker 9 being like, see?

Speaker 90 He's a big sport.

Speaker 98 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 48 He just did nothing.

Speaker 9 And they teat him up.

Speaker 77 I mean, that's NBA refs.

Speaker 71 I do find humor in it.

Speaker 8 Obviously, I don't want it to ever happen in the playoffs, and it has, but when they're just like, yeah, this is my court.

Speaker 49 Oh, you showed a little bit of emotion.

Speaker 18 T.

Speaker 31 It's got to feel awesome, too.

Speaker 90 He pre-teed him.

Speaker 51 I'm going to do something. He's going to say something to me.
But then

Speaker 109 he didn't.

Speaker 17 But he still teeted him up.

Speaker 107 Like, from a human,

Speaker 107 just a very basic human level, we should probably change

Speaker 4 how technicals or tossouts in baseball happen because it's got to be fun.

Speaker 16 Like, if you're a ref, just blowing the whistle and just going, tee, like, that's a fun thing to do.

Speaker 57 I think if you have to do, like, the jerk off so you look like an idiot.

Speaker 2 If you're power ranking the

Speaker 2 like coolest ways to throw somebody out of a game, number one has got to be baseball.

Speaker 109 You're an ump, right?

Speaker 2 Doing the, you're out of here. You're out of here.
That's the sickest. Number two would probably be NBA team up hard and then point and be like, get the fuck out of my face.

Speaker 2 The NFL, I think, has it right because they just have to like calmly get on a speaker and say, has been disqualified. And

Speaker 48 the player kind of just stands on the sideline for a little bit, being like, am I really out of here?

Speaker 2 Yeah, and then they get like one entry-level marketing person to escort a locker room.

Speaker 9 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 It's always like a young kid in a polo shirt that's like trying to wrangle the biggest, most angriest guy. And you're like, okay, hey, buddy, we got to go into the tunnel now.

Speaker 17 But just think about it, like a baseball ump calling a big strike three to end an inning has to be fun.

Speaker 33 That has to be fun.

Speaker 16 So we have to maybe take away the fun level of it.

Speaker 14 Because if you're like a baseball ump and you're just bored back there, you're like, I haven't been able to punch someone out for a while.

Speaker 75 I'm gonna do this.

Speaker 2 I think you have to have a it should be like a man-to-man conversation with a guy that you're throwing out off camera, yeah.

Speaker 2 So, you don't even get to celebrate, you just say, Okay, let's go into the dugout and have a conversation.

Speaker 1 Treat ejections like uh, they're streakers on the field, yeah.

Speaker 101 That's don't give them the air times, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 57 Okay, good job, Hank.

Speaker 2 Uh, PFT, my hot seat is crypto in general. Sam Bankman Freed from FTX

Speaker 2 is the latest Bernie Madoff right now, It's been in the news.

Speaker 2 He had, I think, about $40 billion,

Speaker 2 and now he has $0

Speaker 2 because his entire platform went bankrupt because his business rival, the dude at Binance, found out that he could buy all of the coins that FTX was making.

Speaker 2 Because basically, FTX had a big shell game going on with their whole thing. FTX, you've probably seen them.
They actually sponsored. They put their logo on MLB umpire uniforms.

Speaker 69 They sponsored our stuff sometimes.

Speaker 2 They They sponsored our stuff. They put theirs on,

Speaker 2 I don't think they were on part of my take, though.

Speaker 64 I don't think I'm part of my take.

Speaker 17 College football show.

Speaker 29 Okay.

Speaker 53 Dropped a bag. Yeah, they did.
They dropped a bag.

Speaker 2 Well, I can speak freely because I don't think I ever took their money.

Speaker 9 We can speak freely, too.

Speaker 61 Listen,

Speaker 17 we thought that they were a real company. They had fucking Tom Brady and Larry David doing that.

Speaker 2 Tom Brady,

Speaker 2 when Tom Brady changed his eyes to be activated in his avatar, that's how you knew it was real. Right.

Speaker 2 But yeah, I think the most brilliant move that they had was sponsoring Major League Baseball umpire uniforms.

Speaker 2 Because if you see an umpire sponsored by something, you naturally think to yourself, oh, this is a legitimate company.

Speaker 53 Couldn't be more legit.

Speaker 2 They follow the rules. Yeah.
They sponsor the ultimate rules, guys.

Speaker 103 So this was also my hot seat. And a crazier part of the story was that it turns out this Sam Bankman freed guy, the offices were in the Bahamas.

Speaker 103 And in the offices, they had orientations on how to properly use amphetamines to work harder and faster.

Speaker 103 It turns out allegedly the Sam Bankman guy was using patches that were supposed to be for people with Parkinson's and other types of like disorders that they needed like serious stuff.

Speaker 103 And turns out those drugs had side effects that didn't allow them to eat anything except soy lent protein drinks.

Speaker 103 So it was just a whole bunch of dudes in the Bahamas getting hyped up off of weird ass medicine.

Speaker 2 All these crypto guys and like futurists, I always feel feel like their big goal in life is to figure out how not to have any fun and become a computer.

Speaker 2 So they're like, oh, I love drinking this soylent shit because it eliminates the need for meals, which is inefficient.

Speaker 45 I fucking, I love eating meals.

Speaker 2 And they're, they're trying to take all these like amphetamines to stay up. They don't have to sleep as much.
I love going to sleep. I like eating meals.
I like falling asleep.

Speaker 2 And they're just trying to like optimize their bodies to just, they do want to become a piece of software at some point themselves.

Speaker 2 So yeah,

Speaker 2 it's been crazy to see all the post-mortems that are starting to come out because it looks like they were all fucking each other too.

Speaker 1 And there's like, it's an ongoing scam because there was this whole thing where they had technology get in the back end to basically delete a bunch of stuff.

Speaker 1 Sam Bankman Fried has been tweeting through the whole thing.

Speaker 17 And the other day he tweeted what happened, but he did like H-A-P all in separate tweets.

Speaker 43 And then people realized what he was doing was he was deleting old tweets and then posting new ones so that it stayed exactly the same, his amount of tweets.

Speaker 24 And now people are like pulling all his tweet archives so he can't get away with deleting them.

Speaker 14 It's like

Speaker 40 he's a scammer, but because it's in the Bahamas, he hasn't been arrested yet.

Speaker 24 So he's like trying to scam his way out of a scam.

Speaker 33 It's fascinating.

Speaker 2 He's also Dan Snyder's neighbor in the Bahamas. Oh, wow.
Which is interesting. It'd be a real shame if he got caught up in it, too.
It would.

Speaker 2 But yeah, it's been crazy to see because apparently the way that this all worked was

Speaker 2 they had FTX was very trusted.

Speaker 2 It was looked at as being like the future the safe investment that you can make and then Bankman Freed was trying to write all the legislation that was going to govern cryptocurrencies in the future because he knows that one day the government is going to have very specific rules around crypto so he figured why why don't I just write it that way I can write my rules in that's what that's what like Ticketmaster did back in the day they wrote all the laws so he wanted to write all of his own laws and then that pissed off the guy from Binance who was like, I'm Mr.

Speaker 2 Crypto. I'm open source.
No rules for anybody. Deregulate everything.

Speaker 2 So then the dude from Binance was like, I'm going to buy so much of this guy's fake money and then I'm going to sell it all at once, which is going to make his fake money crash, which is going to crash his other business.

Speaker 2 And he's going to lose $30 billion overnight. Crazy.
It kind of rocks.

Speaker 52 It rocks because,

Speaker 100 and I feel bad for people who have gotten hurt in this.

Speaker 52 I have never, my brain is too small to understand crypto.

Speaker 17 So, whenever a crypto scam comes about, I'm like, thank God for my idiocy.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, I, I mean, I did buy Doge as a joke, um, and then I have a couple board apes in my portfolio. Well, of course, we have to get the slurp juices too.

Speaker 2 And then, um, I also was heavily leveraging Cum Rocket for a period of time.

Speaker 1 I remember there was a moment I was walking down the street.

Speaker 14 It was probably about, maybe it was like July, June, whatever. Some guy stopped me and was like, big cat, what's up, man?

Speaker 24 He's like, dude, you got to get into Bored Apes.

Speaker 67 I just sold mine.

Speaker 46 I made like $300,000.

Speaker 4 I was like,

Speaker 31 this doesn't feel right.

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And then, but then you say, like, what is a Bored Ape? And it's like, well, that's a five-hour-long conversation. Right, right.

Speaker 51 So all I know is $100,000 in an NBA top shot.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 28 My alexa.

Speaker 51 I haven't even thought about going on that website in over a year.

Speaker 8 This is where our stupidity actually saves us because we just, as a podcast, are

Speaker 67 very shielded away from these.

Speaker 68 I only

Speaker 2 do actual things like Alex Caruso chase down block highlights.

Speaker 51 I also tried multiple times or would see stuff and kind of get brainwashed by NFT stuff. I was like, fuck, I got to get in on this.
And then the like six-step verification stopped me.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 51 You got to download this app and then download this add-on and then put your money here. And I was like, I just stopped.
It was like, fuck it.

Speaker 57 Dude, I got given.

Speaker 109 That was the best thing that's ever happened.

Speaker 56 I got given two.

Speaker 60 I think I own two NFTs.

Speaker 16 And they had,

Speaker 5 it was like, it's the encryption is so like deep level level security that we're going to give you a password that you'll never be able to find again that you have to write on a piece of paper and save.

Speaker 46 I lost that.

Speaker 60 Uh, so that's yeah, that's another one where it's like, I don't know.

Speaker 92 Yep, I don't know where it is.

Speaker 9 What do you say, Billy?

Speaker 2 We we sold NFTs once.

Speaker 60 You sold NFTs.

Speaker 101 I did. You sold NFTs.

Speaker 101 Yeah, I feel like you sold. What's this weird? I didn't steal the money.

Speaker 103 I just saw an opportunity.

Speaker 45 Went to it.

Speaker 2 Vaughn Miller tried to buy an NFT from you. Vaughn Miller is.
Well, this is probably going to make Tom Brady play for another couple seasons. Vaughn Miller has a shitload of money in NFTs.

Speaker 17 And I do feel, again, I do feel bad for anyone who got scammed by this dude because he fucking sucks.

Speaker 26 And there's like nothing you can do about it.

Speaker 81 Yeah.

Speaker 51 Well, I also don't get, like, they don't talk about the people enough. Like, they don't, they're just like, oh, this is crazy.
But how, like, there's a lot of people that lost a lot of money.

Speaker 29 Yes, I know.

Speaker 85 And a lot of people who lost jobs, like, all of that stuff.

Speaker 2 A lot of hedge funds, too, that were, like, deeply invested in this.

Speaker 17 It's very similar to 2008 crash, where it's like, all these people lost their house, their money, their jobs, and then, like, one guy went to jail.

Speaker 2 Yeah, well, this guy is still not in jail.

Speaker 85 No, I know, I know.

Speaker 101 It's just

Speaker 101 always down yet.

Speaker 1 It's always shitty for regular people.

Speaker 64 Okay, your cool throne.

Speaker 2 My cool throne is moms. Moms out there.

Speaker 9 What? Yeah?

Speaker 98 Never mind.

Speaker 2 Are you talking about the Josh Allen thing, Billy? Yeah. Yeah.
We all saw it. Yeah, moms are on the cool throne because there's a petition with over 1,500 signatures out there of just moms.

Speaker 2 telling Josh Allen that it'll be okay because sometimes you just need a mom to tell you that everything's going to be okay. And I saw that and I was like, damn, that's so true.
It's so true.

Speaker 2 It is so true. Like, there should be an app for Tinder, but it's just moms just to come and give you a call.

Speaker 2 Maybe just walk into the living room, hand you a nice cup of cocoa and say, everything's going to be okay.

Speaker 25 Everything's going to be fine.

Speaker 25 You're in a little bit of a funk right now because he is.

Speaker 40 Josh Allen is in a funk.

Speaker 1 He's not playing great, and everything's going to be okay.

Speaker 13 Yeah, everything's going to be okay.

Speaker 2 So I thought that was a nice thing to do. Buffalo always has the most hilarious different online petitions or fundraisers.
Like, remember when Andy Dalton got them into the playoffs? Yeah.

Speaker 2 And they raised a bunch of money in Andy Dalton's name for the children's hospital. Buffalo is very good at the internet.
Yes, they are.

Speaker 84 They always get together for this stuff.

Speaker 54 Okay, my hot seat is big coffee.

Speaker 14 I'm coming for that ass.

Speaker 43 So you probably see it.

Speaker 37 If you're watching on YouTube, please subscribe and like the YouTube.

Speaker 45 Stella Blue Coffee.

Speaker 48 So I created a coffee company.

Speaker 44 Stella Blue Coffee.

Speaker 48 You know, my dog Stella.

Speaker 17 Most people know.

Speaker 8 And I really, really, really like this coffee.

Speaker 92 If you are a coffee drinker, go to stellabluecoffee.com.

Speaker 44 You can join the coffee club as well.

Speaker 24 Hank and Max went with me.

Speaker 5 They've seen the process.

Speaker 14 I tasted a lot of coffee.

Speaker 24 We're keeping it simple.

Speaker 1 There's three roasts on one blend, so it's nothing, not trying to do anything fancy, just like, you know, running the power sweep.

Speaker 44 But anyone who likes coffee, I really do think this is very good coffee.

Speaker 121 And there's going to be a portion of the proceeds going to Paws Chicago, the uh shelter that i adopted stella from so and also tune in this is already out the making the brand um hank made me talk about stella getting old so i almost cried that's kind of a dicky move hank but yeah i do think it's very good coffee i really like the coffee um if you want to buy it awesome if you don't that's also cool guess what if you don't want to buy it my content's still free so that's the nice part i had two cups for breakfast today hell yes it's it's the best coffee i've ever had in my life actually you you um you already wrote a review on the websites.

Speaker 2 I did.

Speaker 28 Oh, yeah. That's right.

Speaker 45 I don't know if you saw your review.

Speaker 2 Somebody just texted or tweeted the review to me. Yeah, what does it say? I think it just says,

Speaker 2 hang on, I'm going to pull it up right now. Let me read my review for the first time.

Speaker 5 I'll read, if you go to Estelle Blue Coffee, you can see there's been a few reviews.

Speaker 14 Crazy how fast people were reviewing it.

Speaker 4 Five stars.

Speaker 20 PFT's review, I'm scrolling.

Speaker 8 PFT said, tastes like liquid courage.

Speaker 54 I have no idea who Big Cat even is.

Speaker 38 Never met him.

Speaker 48 But man, was this coffee good?

Speaker 8 Saying it's the best I've ever tasted would be an understatement.

Speaker 67 There also is a one from Henry L.

Speaker 8 in New York saying, this coffee gives me confidence. I drank this coffee, and for the first time in my life, I thought I could someday guess the lottery ball machine correctly.

Speaker 44 Everyone knows I obviously won't, but with Stella Blue Coffee in my system, maybe, parentheses, I won't.

Speaker 9 Wow,

Speaker 31 that was really nice, Hank.

Speaker 29 Or Henry L. I don't know who he is.

Speaker 51 I live in New Jersey, so I don't know.

Speaker 101 Oh, okay, so it was

Speaker 31 someone else. It's delicious, though.

Speaker 2 I enjoyed it. I had two cups for breakfast.
I plan on starting my day with a nice deuce.

Speaker 9 That's what I call it. What

Speaker 51 I'm going to make a bet with everything I win from the water.

Speaker 87 It's coming.

Speaker 51 23 more shows.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 I'm going to bring cash in next show.

Speaker 45 I think my odds are better

Speaker 9 than once. Actually, I'm not even talking.
Okay. But I was thinking about it.

Speaker 2 Wait, you think that your odds are better at winning once than they are winning twice? I think you might be right. I'm not a math guy.
Yeah, no, I agree. But I think that checks.
I'd agree.

Speaker 51 We would need a fucking super nerd to figure this out. The odds of going 0 for whatever I've gone, there's a better chance that I go 1 for whatever I've gone than 0 for 0 for that number.

Speaker 97 Yeah, no, that's already fat.

Speaker 2 Hank, that's like if I started playing Major League Baseball and I was batting like 0-0-0.

Speaker 2 I'm like, wow, if you look at the statistics, like the odds are way better that I would have a greater batting average than 0-0-0 if you look at every other Major League Baseball.

Speaker 51 I might just put it on the Vikings won the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 You're a real piece of shit. You guys are a piece of shit.

Speaker 122 Sometimes you're real piece of shit.

Speaker 109 You guys are a piece of shit.

Speaker 38 Thank you for leaving that five-star.

Speaker 74 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 43 I do appreciate that.

Speaker 44 But yeah, Stella Blue Coffee, go check it out.

Speaker 38 I think I said in the making the brand,

Speaker 4 it's a coffee company that hopefully someday my kids can have because I smut blogged so they don't have to smut blog.

Speaker 53 It's like the olive oil business with the mafia.

Speaker 38 I was in the internet mines looking for guests at ass.

Speaker 16 Are you concerned? So they don't someday have to do that.

Speaker 2 Are you concerned that when you pass the brand down to them and they inherit it oh this is coming out after that they'll have to pay the inheritance tax on the still a blue gun

Speaker 5 yes and they won't be able to afford that i won't give a fuck because i'll be dead yep yeah that's that's the nice part um and then my cool throne is uh love because i don't know if this is actually an official relationship there's been a lot of rumors but it does feel like larsa pippen and marcus jordan michael jordan's son might be dating which is awesome jeans that's love yeah uh

Speaker 69 Scotty, I'm sure, is happy.

Speaker 2 Good job. Good job, Jordan family.
Yeah.

Speaker 97 Like,

Speaker 2 being a dog runs in that family.

Speaker 13 I just imagine MJ being like, Did you hear all that shit about Scotty saying that LeBron's better than me?

Speaker 68 Go hit up, Larsa. Yeah.

Speaker 112 Let's start this relationship.

Speaker 9 That's tough.

Speaker 35 That's tough.

Speaker 65 Billy.

Speaker 103 Sorry. My hot seat is Trent Williams.
So, Trent Williams, a tackle on the 49ers, apparently might be tipping pass or run plays by his stances. Shout out, Twitter user JNA underscore LSS.

Speaker 103 Some of the difficulties in

Speaker 103 the running game with Debo Samuels specifically might be because of Trent Williams tipping off plays with his stances.

Speaker 103 So shout out that Twitter user. He went through the all 22 and found this tell

Speaker 103 pitching tell. Interesting.
And my cool throne is the solo pod.

Speaker 103 After some technical difficulties, shout out all producers, Barcelona Sports specifically.

Speaker 103 It's hard to produce a podcast. I've been trying to do it all weekend.
It's pretty difficult dealing with large file sizes.

Speaker 112 It's Tuesday.

Speaker 75 Right.

Speaker 103 It's coming out Wednesday.

Speaker 2 He started to upload it on Friday, though. The internet was slow.

Speaker 103 So it's been, you know, apparently a 12-gigabyte file needs to be compressed in order to get uploaded anywhere. Something I just didn't know.

Speaker 103 And shout out Avery, shout out everyone in the control room helping me out with that.

Speaker 103 That's coming out Wednesday.

Speaker 17 Do you grind it all weekend trying to get it up?

Speaker 2 It was really like a 48-hour long podcast.

Speaker 75 No, I got

Speaker 103 the podcast done, but getting the file off.

Speaker 105 Well, that's not done.

Speaker 17 When we tape this, it's not done until it's up.

Speaker 75 Right.

Speaker 48 Otherwise, we're just making.

Speaker 103 I know, but now

Speaker 48 we're just talking into nothing.

Speaker 2 And it's a three-hour long podcast? Alone.

Speaker 101 Well, it's two hours and 20 minutes once it was edited down. Yeah.
Yep.

Speaker 103 Because, come on, no one's dead air.

Speaker 75 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 75 And yeah.

Speaker 29 And also, how the hell is it?

Speaker 9 Well, it wouldn't, it wouldn't.

Speaker 48 You've already only produced dead air because you haven't even put it up.

Speaker 103 Right.

Speaker 2 But it's scheduled. It's scheduled.
Okay, it's officially scheduled. It's going to compete with this podcast.
Is it compressed?

Speaker 103 Yes, it's compressed, ready to go.

Speaker 75 Okay.

Speaker 103 Also, how did you have the exact hot throne?

Speaker 98 Hot seat cool thrones.

Speaker 50 That was crazy. I don't know.

Speaker 2 That's scary.

Speaker 46 He does have access to the internet.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I mean, the FTX story is

Speaker 2 probably the biggest story in the news.

Speaker 70 Yeah, and I got sent the Josh Allen thing a bunch.

Speaker 15 Yeah.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 2 All right. Shut up, moms.

Speaker 111 My hot seat is the city of Oakland. So there's been rumors about them losing the A's to Vegas.

Speaker 93 Oh, no.

Speaker 111 And the A's are playing two spring training games in Vegas this year. So essentially, the rumors are escalating a little bit.

Speaker 2 This is like your wife going on vacation, staying at her personal trainer's house. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's insulting to Oakland that they have to deal with this right now.

Speaker 97 Yeah.

Speaker 96 Or your wife learning karate and getting...

Speaker 66 put into a chokehold and then posting about how cool it was that she learned a chokehold.

Speaker 2 Oh, no, jiu-jitsu. Jiu-Jitsu.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and then going to, it's like, it's like if, um, what if you lost like a bunch of money in crypto and then your wife went on vacation to Costa Rica with a karate instructor?

Speaker 2 That's kind of like what the Oakland A's are dealing with right now.

Speaker 9 It's tough. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Did you guys see Jimmy G last night at the Warriors game?

Speaker 6 He had like, it was, I don't know if it was a bit or anything.

Speaker 43 It probably wasn't because he's Jimmy G.

Speaker 26 It was Jimmy G, Kittle, a couple other Niners.

Speaker 56 The entire Warriors cheerleader staff.

Speaker 24 came up and just only said hello to Jimmy G.

Speaker 84 Like all of them one by one like in a row just came up and was like, hey Jimmy, hey Jimmy, hey, Jimmy.

Speaker 66 And then our guy, Kittle, which we got to get deleted from the internet, but the ref did the whole like, here, take the ball, and then took it back.

Speaker 28 Yeah. Three times.
Well, he kept on trying to grab it.

Speaker 2 They probably knew that Kittle was, he's off limits.

Speaker 102 Yeah, no, but the ref was playing with him.

Speaker 9 I didn't like it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's a little disrespectful. Yeah.

Speaker 111 My guy, Anthony Lamp from Vermont, by the way, he's in the mix on the Warriors.

Speaker 93 Really? Rotation now.

Speaker 109 He's five of six from three.

Speaker 111 Oh, 17 points off the bench. Bang.
Undrafted.

Speaker 98 Love it. On a season?

Speaker 9 No, last night. Wow.

Speaker 111 17 points.

Speaker 98 That's pretty That's nice.

Speaker 60 It's almost good as Dela Vedova.

Speaker 57 He hit three.

Speaker 2 He hit a big three the other day.

Speaker 75 All five of them.

Speaker 57 Oh, three. Yeah.

Speaker 31 Was that on the show?

Speaker 65 I don't know.

Speaker 101 Was that on the show?

Speaker 65 It was so funny.

Speaker 2 You guys didn't know that Deli was in the NBA.

Speaker 16 I didn't realize Deli was on the king.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and obviously, like,

Speaker 2 I stay on Deli's case.

Speaker 2 And I was like, yeah, he's in the NBA.

Speaker 67 He hit a three the other day.

Speaker 69 And I was just like, wait.

Speaker 55 He hit a three?

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 113 He still got it.

Speaker 36 It was a huge night.

Speaker 81 He hit a three.

Speaker 111 And then, speaking of the NBA, this also happened Sunday night. We should have mentioned it, but Joel MB is my cool throne.

Speaker 35 Oh.

Speaker 2 He had a heck of a night.

Speaker 101 Watch out, Jakey Jake. Watch out, Jakey Jake.

Speaker 94 It should have been mentioned.

Speaker 101 It should have been mentioned.

Speaker 92 I mentioned it.

Speaker 111 No, we said after the show, we should have mentioned it on the show.

Speaker 65 We never mentioned it.

Speaker 94 I said after the show, it should have been mentioned.

Speaker 91 Yeah. So be careful.

Speaker 111 The first player with 50, 10, 5, and 5 since blocks became an official stat in 1973-74.

Speaker 31 That's a pretty good night. Yeah.

Speaker 2 That's a pretty solid night. And also,

Speaker 2 listen, Deli had five points points November 2nd, okay? It wasn't just the three. He had another field goal and an assist

Speaker 2 and a steal.

Speaker 2 That's almost as impressive as Joel Embiid's night. He hit a three.

Speaker 26 Guy hit a three.

Speaker 14 Okay, good job, Cheek.

Speaker 41 Let's get to our interview.

Speaker 56 Peter Schrager in studio, talking football.

Speaker 54 You can see him every single morning on the NFL network.

Speaker 15 Good morning, football.

Speaker 40 He's also on the sidelines. He has a podcast.
He does everything.

Speaker 5 It is Peter Schrager.

Speaker 1 Thank you for joining us in the studio.

Speaker 62 You actually, I feel like you're the most,

Speaker 17 in terms of like football podcasts, you're on the most football podcast guests.

Speaker 100 Is that fair? Like, I feel like I hear you on Simmons, Coward.

Speaker 59 You go Dan Patrick's show.

Speaker 62 So we're just, we're the last to it.

Speaker 32 Yeah, I was actually, I mean, I'm a huge fan of both you guys. I love what you guys have built.
And I've long said, like, our show, Good Morning Football, was kind of built and no one knew it.

Speaker 32 And then we now have this thing, and it's like, we're authentic, we are who we are. And I think you guys have that also.
So I'm honored to be asked. But yeah, I do Coward every week.

Speaker 32 I do Bill Simmons every Friday.

Speaker 32 But this is a thrill, dude.

Speaker 9 So, okay.

Speaker 2 Who's the best? You can't say us.

Speaker 31 Yeah.

Speaker 32 You guys have the most listeners, right? I think

Speaker 101 we're number one.

Speaker 113 No, we didn't ask that.

Speaker 2 What's your favorite show to go on? I like Simmons because you hate Colin Coward.

Speaker 68 I hate

Speaker 32 yeah no colin puts me in the corner no colin super guy yeah

Speaker 8 the thing about the supermarket that makes you remind me of you know justin fields but by the way straeger i should say i'm gonna back him up because we do have guests on every now and then who will be like oh i love you guys i love what you built Schrager's in the small, small minority of people who

Speaker 29 is being 100% authentic when he says that because he'll text me out of nowhere sometimes being like, Frank, like watching Frank the tank on the stream and it'd be like what Frank did was so funny and I'm like dude like you're you're like an NFL insider like why are you watching us sit and watch fucking playoff baseball it was like a Sunday or a Saturday night and Frank was having a complete meltdown over the Yankee game but there was also a dolphins game where

Speaker 32 Mike McDaniel was like fucking up fourth down situations and I'm like forget like blogosphere this is a superstar this man right now that I'm watching this is incredible and you're in the back row just checking your phone I'm like how are you?

Speaker 32 It's incredible watching you guys and the different worlds you guys navigate. But yes, I've always been, and I also think you appreciate it.

Speaker 32 And I feel the same way with Good Morning Football when people come by and I'm like, I'm not thirsty to come on. I've never asked, hey, can I come on?

Speaker 32 And you know, those are the best guests, the ones who just like are fans and know it and are just not looking for the clout of being on it.

Speaker 45 Yes.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah. The one thing I'm always impressed with you guys on Good Morning Football is just the fact that you wake up in the morning and are able to speak.

Speaker 2 Like, I need a good probably two and a half hour buffer zone from the time I get out of bed to when I'm able to effectively communicate with anybody. So were you guys like always morning people?

Speaker 32 No, and I get up at 4.30 every morning and that's terrible. Season, it's hard because I'll watch the games, the night games, too.
So, you know, it's short hour. Like Dan will do like the

Speaker 32 coffee tweet. And I'm like,

Speaker 32 I'm three hours in.

Speaker 32 That's not that funny. Like, I get up and I think my afternoon.

Speaker 32 But the one bright thing is like, or the bright side of it is we are done at 10 a.m. And it's like, all right, you've got a day ahead of you, and I've got to do my usual work and whatever it is.

Speaker 32 But the mornings are weird. The weirdest thing is, though, like the other, there's like a small community that's up at that hour.

Speaker 29 Yeah. It's like before the world is awake.

Speaker 32 People you see in the street, like people you see, people you see on Twitter who tweet at that hour. NFL coaches, they're all sick.
Like they're up.

Speaker 32 So a lot of the stuff I get at 7 a.m., I'm the first person talking on the show.

Speaker 32 I've got this great platform with the NFL, but like I've spoken to a lot of the NFL coaches already because they're up at 4 a.m. also.
They're wired that way.

Speaker 90 Okay, so

Speaker 48 who's your most trusted source?

Speaker 92 Okay, go on, please.

Speaker 29 Yeah, good question.

Speaker 9 No, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 32 All right, so like, who are the guys that don't screw me, come like draft or if I say, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 99 Well, we know McVay, you like hang out at his house.

Speaker 63 You're like best friend.

Speaker 122 Do you sleep at his house?

Speaker 93 I've not slept at his house. Have you showered at his house?

Speaker 9 Yes, I've once bathed at his house.

Speaker 2 Okay, there we go. Does he wear a shirt around the house?

Speaker 32 Yes. Fantastic shirtless opportunities, though, throughout the day.
You don't know when it's going to happen, but he does.

Speaker 2 He's always pop it off.

Speaker 101 You can always reduce it.

Speaker 63 We're big McVay fans.

Speaker 114 We also like, we kind of have him.

Speaker 41 We have his number right now because he owes us,

Speaker 41 he welched on a bet, and we saw him in Indianapolis a few years ago, and he's like, you guys got to take it easy on my facial hair, making fun of my facial hair.

Speaker 13 Like, that was the dumbest thing you could tell us.

Speaker 2 It's the perfect line. He's got a perfect.

Speaker 2 I swear to God, he lines it up with a razor every Sunday. It's gorgeous.
It's always perfect.

Speaker 38 But we do like McVay a lot, and he's a phenomenal, phenomenal head coach.

Speaker 40 What is the vibe, though?

Speaker 53 Like, let's just start with this because we're going to talk about all the league, but, like, the Rams,

Speaker 83 they're cooked.

Speaker 32 Are they cooked? They're not cooked.

Speaker 99 No, you could say it.

Speaker 85 They're cooked.

Speaker 32 The cup injury scares me. And we're recording this on, you know, early in the week, but I think he might be out a month.
And then you're like, all right.

Speaker 32 So at this point, you got no talent at the skill position players that is as evident as it was last year. Odell's not coming.

Speaker 32 Stafford, we're not sure. So cooked, but the problem is.
The Lions have their pick. Yeah.
So it's like, here's the season. Ah, you wash it away, but we get a top.

Speaker 32 No, like that goes to Detroit. Yeah, so I don't think it's turning around for them.
I was with him at the bye week McVay. I went over his place because I'm in LA every week.

Speaker 32 I do the Fox pregame show on Sundays and I was there and we went out on Saturday night and he was like at this like crossroads of the season and his whole thing was like I can't I can't go out like this like we're gonna figure this out and if it's not this year like we'll figure it out next like so all the talk of him like doing TV and all that shit like he's in like he this isn't how he's gonna be going down right because it would be you know if he has a bad year this year and injuries happen, it's hard to repeat, but you don't want to have two of them stack up

Speaker 5 next year as well.

Speaker 83 Is it hard, though?

Speaker 37 You know, we get the luxury.

Speaker 44 Do you ever look at us being like, I wish I could criticize?

Speaker 2 I do, though.

Speaker 93 Like, I'm pretty critical.

Speaker 9 You are?

Speaker 118 Not them.

Speaker 99 Well, you didn't even say they're cooked. They're cooked.

Speaker 32 They look nice and sizzling.

Speaker 126 No, they're cooked.

Speaker 9 They're dead.

Speaker 93 Done. Done.

Speaker 32 It's tough to come back from Colt McCoy.

Speaker 109 Flip that for me.

Speaker 13 Let's send that to Sean McVay.

Speaker 2 So who is a guy that you have been critical of?

Speaker 86 Who's like your

Speaker 2 we take a lot of shots at Kirk Cousins on the show? He's kind of become, he's our bitch this year. Yeah.

Speaker 82 But we also

Speaker 63 take very hard shots at Josh Allen. We said that

Speaker 14 he shouldn't throw interceptions.

Speaker 31 Yeah, he shouldn't do that.

Speaker 109 He's very critical.

Speaker 50 He needs to stop doing that.

Speaker 2 And also, he tries too hard on defense after he throws an interception.

Speaker 32 That's the take because I know he hits people too hard.

Speaker 32 There's a couple coaches who I've had

Speaker 32 critical things to say, and they've stopped me in my tracks. Ron Rivera is the first one for me.
Okay.

Speaker 32 First year of a show. We're coming out hot.
I've got this TV show, this cool opportunity. I'm so important, and I've got sizzling takes and all these things in my head.

Speaker 32 And I don't know if you guys remember, it's on a Sunday night,

Speaker 32 Ron Rivera benched Cam Newton because Cam didn't wear a tie on the play.

Speaker 126 Yeah.

Speaker 90 And it was like...

Speaker 2 There's a lot of tie discourse though.

Speaker 32 So I came out and I'm like, this guy won you an MVP. This guy is the man.
Like, Ron Rivera, like, get off your high horse, whatever. And Derek Anderson, on the first pass, throws a pick six.

Speaker 32 Seattle blows him out. The next morning, I come in.
I'm like, you know, okay, here's my big moment.

Speaker 35 I'm going to go viral.

Speaker 32 Come out, and I take Ron Rivera to task. I don't know Ron Rivera from anyone.
I'm like, all right, I'm going to take him down.

Speaker 32 I get a text from Brandon Bean, who's now with the Bills as GM, but was in Carolina. He's like, oh, boy.
He's like, I just saw what you said. And Ron's in the room with me.

Speaker 32 You might want to call Ron and just like, I'm going to call Ron.

Speaker 126 I don't know.

Speaker 9 You never talked to him. Don't know him.
Why? Because Ron Rivera.

Speaker 118 I don't know him.

Speaker 9 I'm coming in. Like, I knew him.

Speaker 32 Maybe like I did like a press conference at the Super Bowl with him, whatever um

Speaker 32 the next week I was doing sidelines and I look at my schedule my Fox assignment you can't make it up Atlanta at Carolina so I've got to sit in a room like this with Ron Rivera and I'm shitting a brick like the entire week like how do because a

Speaker 32 I'm sure there was a reason why and B I went way overboard with it I'm talking about losing his job all this stuff right

Speaker 32 so I get in there and uh Bean like stops me and he's with Stephen Drummond, who's their PR guy, and they're like, you know, Ron is, Ron is looking to talk to you. And I'm like, gosh, shit.

Speaker 32 So I come in and Ron like reads me the riot act out of the gate. It's like, who the F do you think you are? You're nobody.

Speaker 32 You think you're hot. I've never seen you.
I don't know you. And then he looks at those guys and he starts laughing.

Speaker 92 He's like, I'm just fucking with you.

Speaker 32 And he says, but I'm just fucking with you. But

Speaker 2 also, that's true.

Speaker 31 Yeah, everything is true.

Speaker 9 Also, everything I said is absolutely true.

Speaker 32 But he's like, let this be a lesson. And he's like, here's my number.
And you're going to learn this as you get into this role. Like, I hope you're not doing this for one.
season.

Speaker 32 Like, you're going to learn this. If you've got something that's really critical and you want to be the skip bayless and you want to have that take, here's my number.

Speaker 32 If you really have a problem, like, let's talk before. You can explain it inside.
I can explain it. And if you still have that take, great, as long as it's authentic.
But, you know, that was his.

Speaker 122 I like that.

Speaker 82 Because that is that.

Speaker 37 It's also like the, we try never to get like too personal with the things.

Speaker 41 Like, we'll never be like, oh, we were at like an awards ceremony and you and your wife didn't say hi to me, like that kind of shit.

Speaker 32 So yeah, that take by Kyle, which was on the WrestleBlots, it threw us all for a loop. That came out of nowhere.

Speaker 40 And we like Kyle, but that was, we came out of nowhere.

Speaker 88 I don't know.

Speaker 9 I remember watching it being like, wait, what? Yeah, it came out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 I haven't heard the word poser since like 1997.

Speaker 9 I found out the word poser.

Speaker 31 And it stung.

Speaker 2 It was like, I got a flashback to like fifth grade and somebody was like, yo, bro, why are you wearing airwalks? You don't skateboard.

Speaker 126 You're a poser, poser.

Speaker 35 That's it.

Speaker 32 I remember wearing those airwalks and getting called a poser.

Speaker 35 Yeah, you're smoking clothes. Smoking real cigars.

Speaker 88 Yeah, so I'm sure.

Speaker 32 You're in Stoosie, bro.

Speaker 125 You don't even know.

Speaker 120 I feel like that cut deep, though.

Speaker 2 Like, if Russell Wilson, if Russell Wilson saw that, he was probably like, I don't know if he can get hurt by things, if robots can feel feelings, but he was probably like, fuck.

Speaker 92 Am I a poser?

Speaker 101 Call me anything you want.

Speaker 88 Don't call me a poser.

Speaker 32 I always have Kyle's back and I always say like Joe Thomas went off on Saturday, Jeff Saturday on Friday. And I'm sitting there in the.
Wait, what?

Speaker 57 That's so confusing.

Speaker 32 Joe Thomas went off on Jeff Saturday getting the coaching job on Friday.

Speaker 32 They went out on our show and it happened on a Sunday and we're on a Monday.

Speaker 32 And it happened on our show. And I was sitting there and like, what do you do when the other guy goes?

Speaker 32 I support anyone on our show, but that's your word. So if Kyle wants to call him a poser, that's cool.
I got Kyle's back. That's my guy.

Speaker 82 Do you think Kyle, like, at the end, because

Speaker 3 we are friends with Kyle, we like him, and he's very good at his job, but that was one of those ones where do you think he looked back and was like, oh, that was kind of weird to me?

Speaker 88 No, really?

Speaker 9 I don't know.

Speaker 17 Because I have those all the time where I'll have like a take, and then I'll look back and be like, oh,

Speaker 9 what was I saying? That was weird.

Speaker 118 What was I saying?

Speaker 32 Or, you know, I'll tell a social media person, like, no, don't put that one on.

Speaker 9 Yeah, right, yeah, don't put that one. Let's not, yeah, that's not the first one.

Speaker 32 Let's let that one just be for the people who are watching live.

Speaker 32 No, I don't think Kyle had any regrets.

Speaker 29 Power to him.

Speaker 32 Yeah, no, he sleeps at night.

Speaker 35 That's great.

Speaker 46 That's the best thing you could have in this business is like being like, yeah, well, I'm fine.

Speaker 9 Yeah. It doesn't bother me.

Speaker 32 The other coach, Vrabel, I was very critical of the Titans last year. I'm like, this is a bad number one seed.
Like, they don't, you know, they don't, they're not going to win in the playoffs.

Speaker 32 And I picked the Bengals to beat them in the playoffs. And I was like very cocky about it.
Like, I just don't think this team is like going to, there's too many injuries, whatever it was.

Speaker 32 And then at the NFL honors, Vraibel saw me put his arm around me. And like, I've met him before.
It was kind of like, oh, you know, hey, saw what you say.

Speaker 32 Like, remember, like, you know, anyone Coach of the Year that night, but I was like, all right.

Speaker 2 He's the master of like shaking your hand, but like a little harder, man.

Speaker 88 He's hurting you.

Speaker 2 Hurting you intentionally while he's doing it.

Speaker 110 He slapped me on the back once and I almost threw up my lungs.

Speaker 32 Yes. Like, and it was, well, then I saw him with the combine, and he was great, but like for that moment at the NFL Honors, I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 When you're doing sidelines, you ever just make things up when you come back from halftime? It's like, yeah, you know,

Speaker 2 I just talked to Doug Peterson.

Speaker 2 Coach said they're really looking to be more physical in the second half.

Speaker 9 Back to you guys.

Speaker 32 Because that's the opposite of what it was. I used to do sidelines for years and they give you very little in those things.

Speaker 32 And if you watch these sideline reporters, a lot of times, and credit to all of them, but it's like they want to establish the run and they want to stop the pass.

Speaker 82 And it's like back to you guys.

Speaker 32 So I was always so self-aware of that. I'm not going to be that guy.
So I would ask a question and it would be like in the locker room, like just now, like, come on, you could tell me.

Speaker 9 Right. You lit into him, right? We'll cut this part.
Yeah. Like, you lit into him.

Speaker 32 And like, a lot of times the coach would be, like, it's like, yeah, you name it, like, Lovey Smith or Todd Bowles being like, what?

Speaker 23 What are you doing right now?

Speaker 32 And then I'd come out and be like, I just spoke to Lovey Smith, and there was a very real conversation at halftime.

Speaker 32 But like, I was always trying to get something different than like, what's the message in the second half?

Speaker 32 Very, very seldom. Like, Sean Payton would always give you great shit.
Pete Carroll always gave you good stuff, like, coming in and out.

Speaker 32 But very rarely are you getting some like firebrand thing. Like, I have to rush onto air to tell you what the coach told me walking off.

Speaker 9 Yeah, yeah, you'll never believe it.

Speaker 2 Kyle Shannon said that they have to pin their ears back on defense and get after the quarterback if they want to win.

Speaker 9 Yep, the quarterback. No more penalties.

Speaker 93 Do you,

Speaker 67 since you're so plugged in and this probably sucks one of the negatives of your job, do you ever have to catch yourself

Speaker 78 when people are like, oh, you're just name-dropping?

Speaker 2 But it's like, no, that's I'm actually giving context to the story.

Speaker 32 That's 99% of the tweets I get on Bill Simmons' podcast.

Speaker 9 Does that you name drop?

Speaker 32 Yeah, and it's like, I don't care about it.

Speaker 69 You just name drop Bill Simmons.

Speaker 101 There you go.

Speaker 35 Sick, dude.

Speaker 9 It's a drug.

Speaker 56 No, but it does, like, because you, your job as a robot.

Speaker 32 I always try to preface it with, like, I don't say anonymous source tells me. I'll tell you straight up.

Speaker 32 And I've got a good enough relationship with those guys that I feel like I can say it and I can say it's from them. And they're not going to be outraged.

Speaker 32 And it's not going to put them in a bad spot because I'm not necessarily putting them in a corner. But yes,

Speaker 32 if I'm talking about, you know, Ken Dorsey, I've become friendly with, right? And if I'm like. psychopath.

Speaker 97 Yeah.

Speaker 53 No one will ever stop thinking about that moment.

Speaker 32 And I'm like, I spoke to Ken Dorsey last night. I was like, ooh, and I spoke to Ken.

Speaker 32 I'm like, well, actually, he's the offensive coordinator of the Bills in a very big game where they gave up a 17-point lead.

Speaker 32 Like, maybe that's important to some person at home as opposed to my thoughts, you know, from the couch.

Speaker 41 We struggle with that, too, because we've been lucky enough to be doing this long enough and have, you know, enough success where we have become friends with some of these guys.

Speaker 1 And it's very hard because I always feel like a douchebag.

Speaker 22 But then it's also like,

Speaker 83 should we tell the story or not?

Speaker 32 I know. And it's, no one cares if it's, I spoke, you sound worse saying I spoke to someone involved in the organization at a very high-ranking level.

Speaker 53 Yeah, that is worse.

Speaker 31 That's way worse. And people do that.

Speaker 45 Yeah.

Speaker 77 Yeah, so you're doing, okay, I like that. That's a good answer.

Speaker 116 I try. There you go.

Speaker 22 Now we just clap back at the haters.

Speaker 2 You never do anonymous source?

Speaker 78 I like that.

Speaker 32 Yeah, I like this one. League source.

Speaker 31 League source.

Speaker 2 What about circles? What's a league circle? Because that's another one. They're like, I spoke to somebody in league circles.

Speaker 101 League circles.

Speaker 2 Do you have to be like employed by a team to be in a circle?

Speaker 32 Yeah, no, you got to be in the circle. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I feel like Jeff Fisher is still in league circles. He's in the league circle, sure.
He's like in in a building.

Speaker 32 Jim Tom Sula is very much in the league circle. Oh, Jim.

Speaker 9 I like to be in the middle of the season.

Speaker 2 I think Jim Tom Sula is like in an RV somewhere, like just fishes for his meals every day.

Speaker 28 Yeah.

Speaker 2 He's off the grid as much as he can.

Speaker 13 I'd also imagine Jim Tom Sula.

Speaker 32 Is he working for someone right now?

Speaker 32 He was with Dallas last with McCarthy, but not anymore, I don't think.

Speaker 63 I would imagine, too, like Jim Tom Sula,

Speaker 8 he's probably a very nice guy.

Speaker 108 We never had him on the show.

Speaker 45 Oh, Jim Tom Sula is the greatest.

Speaker 32 Yeah, the greatest. I'm not even like doing that.

Speaker 90 We would love to have him on the show.

Speaker 32 Great PMT guys.

Speaker 3 But I would also imagine that

Speaker 41 he would tip off someone and it would just always be wrong.

Speaker 46 He'd be like, I'm hearing this.

Speaker 3 And they're like, in the back room, they're like, let's just tell Jim this and just get this out there.

Speaker 32 It wasn't a big source of mine. I don't think I got a lot of sparkling info from Jim over the years.

Speaker 2 We get a couple games we play with everyone. You know, because you listen to the show.

Speaker 2 This one is called, What Would You Do If a front off executive from the Browns told you that Condoleezza Rice was interviewing to be the head coach of the team? This is what you guys do.

Speaker 122 This is a good question.

Speaker 32 I don't question that someone did tell Adam Schefter that.

Speaker 32 I'm just saying, I don't think anyone, I don't think of anyone. He's not going out there if it didn't come from somebody.

Speaker 32 Sure enough, I think Condoleezza is very much involved with the Denver Broncos right now. Oh, I do believe that maybe there is some justice somewhere in Adam's mind that, you know what?

Speaker 32 You guys were all laughing at me. She got an even bigger role now somewhere else.

Speaker 2 Maybe Schefter was just early. Maybe one day she will be the head coach.
The other game that we play with everybody is say something mean about Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Speaker 32 Your boss. My boss.
He signs my checks.

Speaker 118 Yeah, boss.

Speaker 2 No, actually, the real real question I want to ask you about him is like, it is something that people always ask you because you're employed by the league, right?

Speaker 2 So at some times, it kind of goes back to the coach conversation. You have to know when you can be critical and what you can say and what you can't say.
How do you balance that?

Speaker 32 It's a good question. I think, you know, when it comes to like some of like the...

Speaker 32 the bigger issues, whether it would be the Watson case or some of the stuff going on with the Washington, you know, your team.

Speaker 32 The commanders, like our show, no one ever tells us, like, you can't say this, you can't say that.

Speaker 32 The funny thing is, a lot of times what we do get pushback on, or we'll get, you know, stuff, like, I can go

Speaker 32 have a take on something like

Speaker 32 whatever it is that I'm like, oh, crap, they're going to call, or someone's going to say something, or, you know, maybe Roger's watching and he's going to have a problem with what we say because put the league in a bad spot.

Speaker 32 The one thing that they're sensitive at, and I, it's fascinating to me, and it's more like you should talk to this person if you really have a problem with that, is officiating.

Speaker 32 So, like, I came out, I was outraged by the DJ Moore call when he whipped off his helmet because the rule says it's not a penalty if you remove your helmet.

Speaker 32 It's only a penalty if you remove your helmet in the end zone. And he removed it out of the end zone.
So the next day, it's like the easiest thing.

Speaker 32 Me and Kyle always call it like sports talk, radio, like fodder.

Speaker 92 Like, we're upset about the call, you know, like here we are.

Speaker 32 And sure enough, you know, you'll get a text being like, if you got a problem, like, hey, look, Walt Coleman, Perry Fuel, like these guys work at the league, contact them before the show and they can explain it to you from our side and all that stuff.

Speaker 32 So I think the integrity of the game and that stuff is where the league like really, really watches, you what we're saying.

Speaker 32 Because the second we start bitching about every call and we start having our takes on it, we look like we're representative of the league and there's dysfunction and we're not all on the same page.

Speaker 33 So

Speaker 41 when you told me beforehand when we were talking, you said NFL is rigged, what would that mean?

Speaker 97 That's it.

Speaker 97 That was it. But that right there, it's more about the way that...

Speaker 118 No, yeah, no.

Speaker 45 Yeah, that was mean of me.

Speaker 32 Well, I mean, like, Giddell came on the show in Germany. We just got back from Germany, and he was like, drinking a beer.
Like, I know people don't want to hear that, but like, I don't know.

Speaker 32 Every interaction I've had with him

Speaker 32 or Matt Best friend, he's normal.

Speaker 29 I believe that.

Speaker 63 I believe that.

Speaker 17 So, knowing that you know all these coaches, do you do like the hushed, serious tone when they get fired?

Speaker 114 And being like, these guys have, you know, families and stuff.

Speaker 122 You do.

Speaker 32 Immemorial. Yeah, no, seriously, I do.

Speaker 97 I love that.

Speaker 32 One of the guys I was really heartbroken for was Matt Nagy, who was obviously coaching because he's the greatest dude in the world. And every Bears fan wanted to see Matt fired.

Speaker 32 And like, I know what his family is.

Speaker 99 Do you see what Justin Fields is doing now?

Speaker 85 Doing great.

Speaker 32 Look.

Speaker 32 I get it.

Speaker 33 He could have kept on.

Speaker 32 We're not questioning his credibility or whether he should have been fired. It broke my heart to see him get fired because it's like

Speaker 6 he's going to be okay, though.

Speaker 93 He made a lot of money in the Chiefs.

Speaker 32 And the best part about NFL coaches is you always have to just go get another job.

Speaker 74 Someone else will hire him.

Speaker 2 He's going to get another chance eventually, too, to be a head coach. I bet you he will.

Speaker 32 Probably. Most of these guys get another chat.

Speaker 2 If the Chiefs win another Super Bowl and Matt Nagy is a big part of that effort, then yes,

Speaker 2 someone will be like, okay, what did you learn from your first time, your first go-round? What mistakes are we correcting? And he'll get another job.

Speaker 32 Yeah, and he might. And I think about the human, though, like he had kids in high school.

Speaker 82 That part sucks.

Speaker 122 You know the story, like, that's booed in their heads.

Speaker 31 He's completely on.

Speaker 32 I'll get another one. Joe Judge last year, and every Giants fan wanted Joe Judge out, and I've become friendly with Joe, and I don't, he's a good dude.
Like, he's whatever you want to say.

Speaker 32 He gets fired. Everyone's so happy doing flips.

Speaker 32 And I do this thing where I'll call the coach or I'll text him and be like, hey, if there's anything I can do, I can't do shit, but I'm like, if there's anything I can do, put in a good word with another team.

Speaker 32 You know, they don't need my help, but it's a gesture. Like,

Speaker 32 he calls me right away and he goes, here's what you can do. And I love this about Joe Judge.
And Giants fans might be ready to run through a wall for this, but they're like, here's what you can do.

Speaker 32 Next time you or your co-hosts want to shuttle over Daniel Jones or say that Daniel Jones is terrible or this or that, know that Daniel Jones is tough as shit, comes prepared.

Speaker 32 And I would run through a brick wall for that guy.

Speaker 32 And I'm like, that's the one thing you want. You don't want to take a shot at Gettelman.
You don't want to take shot at the Marriage. You're like, no, whatever.

Speaker 32 He's like, just that quarterback was tough and was put in a tough spot and I just want everyone to know that's cool that is cool you know says a lot about a guy to be like yeah you're right because he could just bitch about everything else and a lot of these guys when they get fired it's like to your point they've got money they have like it's it's an ego

Speaker 2 yeah that's what it is yeah no that makes sense as you're introducing yourself to these coaches when like some guy gets hired and he's first head coaching gig how do you go about getting his phone number yeah do you like give him your phone and you're like hey just put your number there no And I'll just say that.

Speaker 93 You have a lot of pickup line you use.

Speaker 32 Here's what I'll do. This is like, because I was not single during like the online dating craze.
And like, I'm not great with, hey, going up to a girl in a bar or any of that stuff.

Speaker 32 So this is a very odd situation when you're, I want to give my number to a strange man and let him. So what I'll do is I'll often find a mutual connection.

Speaker 32 A guy that's worked with him, a guy that said, hey, I'd like to reach out to blank. Can you put me on a little group chain with him?

Speaker 32 And if that guy's like, no, I don't feel comfortable, then okay, I'll try.

Speaker 32 But I'm never going to be the one who's like hi on this can I still have your number like it's not that that's just weird yeah yeah yeah so um about the coaches who's the coach that's gonna get fired next

Speaker 32 and why is it Cliff Kingsbury I don't think Cliff's getting fired is that because you're friends with him yeah fuck okay no I actually don't think he is getting fired I think he signed the extension and we're gonna see how the season goes yeah no one ever fires anyone during an extension as Jimbo Fisher just like trends every Saturday I'm curious to see what happens over the next few weeks with the Cardinals because I think that team played with a lot of fire.

Speaker 2 Do you think he's done anything as a head coach besides the joy that they played with? Everybody was saying tons of joy.

Speaker 2 You could put Colt McCoy like that guy just screamed exuberance to me when I was watching him play.

Speaker 86 They're 3-1 under Colt McCoy.

Speaker 9 He's like Gordon Bombay.

Speaker 2 Are they better without Kyler Murray?

Speaker 31 I'm not saying it.

Speaker 93 I think you implied it.

Speaker 32 I'm just saying that team maybe needed a spark and maybe Kyler comes back and it's like, all right, that was it. That's what we got to do.

Speaker 9 The joy.

Speaker 32 The thing with Cliff, right? You want to say like...

Speaker 9 Yeah, like he's actually really unique.

Speaker 32 Let me tell you something. He hasn't done shit as a head coach.
He knows that. He made a playoffs, whatever, and he knows that he lost there.

Speaker 113 But he's unique. Anywhere.

Speaker 9 College as well. Get it.

Speaker 32 This is like low-hanging fruit shitting on Clingsbury.

Speaker 32 No, we like it.

Speaker 65 We just rock it.

Speaker 23 We just come with our machetes.

Speaker 45 We just hit the low-hanging fruit.

Speaker 59 Why have to climb up the tree when you can just get it?

Speaker 32 He's not one of these guys that is like and you guys always have said football guy over the years. He's not necessarily that guy.

Speaker 32 He's kind of self-aware and he's kind of in on the joke and he's kind of like into TV and movies.

Speaker 32 Like he would be be on one of these shows having a talk without being head coach and then oh by the way he's got this crazy mind where he can draw up plays now whether you guys are like i haven't seen it yet and all that that's fine he treats these guys in a way that i think is different than a lot of the coaches i respect and by that i mean you know the cell phone breaks thing made a lot of news when he first got there right but you know larry fitzgeral was a veteran there if larry wanted to you know have a saturday and not necessarily, you know, have to come on and be at the team meeting at this hour.

Speaker 32 Well, he's been there for 20 years. Like Larry Fitzgerald can do that.
If Rodney Hudson, their veteran center, is like, Coach, I need a day off. Like, Cliff's not one of these, like, yeah.

Speaker 32 So, I think it's a different look at coaching. I kind of almost appreciate it and would like some more coaches to lean into that stuff.

Speaker 93 Like a normal guy.

Speaker 31 Like a normal person.

Speaker 2 So, is Larry Fitzgerald retired? Yeah.

Speaker 9 Did I miss that? I don't know. I don't.

Speaker 116 Is he like kind of in the middle?

Speaker 118 Has he not announced it yet?

Speaker 2 No, I don't think so, but like he's got to be retired.

Speaker 32 You guys asked me what my favorite podcast was. I think Jim Gray, Larry Fitzgerald, and Tom Brady is my most

Speaker 32 entertaining.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 41 How much do you regret doing this interview so far?

Speaker 93 How many people do you think you have to text afterwards being like, not at all? Heads up.

Speaker 22 I went on pardon my take and they really put the screws to me

Speaker 93 why Cliff Kingsbury is remarkably average.

Speaker 9 No, I actually,

Speaker 2 I like this segment because sometimes we do need a reality check. That's true.

Speaker 2 We have a couple friends around the league, a couple people that we like that are head coaches that we obviously will go to bat for, but there's a lot of guys that we shit on sometimes and we joke about, but you probably know them better than me.

Speaker 2 So I kind of like that check on us. Yeah.
Like, okay, so Mike McCarthy, tell me why I'm an asshole for always making fun of Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 32 Yeah, the one thing is to make fun of, like, did he really wear the Lombardi jacket to the game and then like be up 14 in the fourth quarter?

Speaker 32 Like, you know, it's one thing to go in there and beat him. Like, like, that kind of stuff.

Speaker 32 Like, on our show, I'll go more to football, I'll even just, and I won't say, like, he's an idiot for doing it. I'll just pose it.
Be like, did you need the jacket?

Speaker 9 Right.

Speaker 32 Was it not enough to just go in there and like, you know, have this on? You need to wear the jacket. But, you know, Mike's had a lot of struggles in late game scenarios.

Speaker 32 And obviously, to me, the storyline is now all of a sudden Rogers and him, just it's constant love fest. And it's like that is weird.

Speaker 122 It's a little revision

Speaker 9 on our end, maybe.

Speaker 32 I don't remember it that way at the end.

Speaker 32 But is Mike McCarthy going to necessarily prove us all wrong?

Speaker 7 We'll see.

Speaker 2 So Sean Payton greater than 50% chance of being the Cowboys coach next year.

Speaker 32 I don't know about, I work with Sean every Sunday now. By the way, you want to talk about a story like full circle.
I didn't know Sean. He knew a lot of people in the media.
I wasn't one of them.

Speaker 32 Like Glazer was always his guy. I think Diana was tight with him for years.

Speaker 32 And I was not like ever, but I just didn't have a relationship with him. And I, you know, I was like, all right, let's see.
I've been working with him at Fox. This guy is cool as shit.

Speaker 32 And I'm like, oh, I get it now. Like, I get why players love playing for him.
He's smart. And I think openly, like, this Fox thing has been fun for him.

Speaker 32 But I think if the right opportunity came around, I think he'd obviously consider it because he's still got that coaching bug. I watch it every Sunday.

Speaker 70 We're 10 weeks in. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Who do you think? I don't like that.

Speaker 2 I just shivered when you said that.

Speaker 9 That sucks.

Speaker 9 We're 10 weeks in.

Speaker 32 When did you suddenly take the jacket off?

Speaker 2 It gets hot in here, man. The bright lights come on.
The takes start flying. People start sweating.

Speaker 37 At this point in the season, who is definitively

Speaker 57 good?

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 60 Besides the Chiefs and the Eagles?

Speaker 99 People will say the Eagles aren't, but

Speaker 32 I know this is going to. I think the Vikings.

Speaker 32 Hear me out. I think the Vikings winning in Buffalo that way, and I know you can say they got the game given to them, but that's not Vikings football.

Speaker 32 They have lost that game a million times over the last few years.

Speaker 60 So have the Bills.

Speaker 32 So have the Bills.

Speaker 2 I think that was more of a Vikings loss that the Bills had

Speaker 9 to the Vikings.

Speaker 86 They They had their energy.

Speaker 2 They had it, but I mean, credit to the Vikings because they did outplay them in certain parts.

Speaker 32 They did outplay them at the end, and they made the plays they had to, and Jefferson was really special. So I'm going to say, the Vikings are in that conversation.

Speaker 9 I caught that.

Speaker 2 I think the Dolphins are really good.

Speaker 32 Yes.

Speaker 57 Do you have a vote for MVP?

Speaker 32 I do not. Shit.

Speaker 9 Do you know anyone who does? I know a lot of people who have them, yeah.

Speaker 7 Tua's kind of people, people are buzzing about two MVP.

Speaker 33 I'm just saying.

Speaker 118 That's interesting. They have not lost a game.

Speaker 6 They have nothing to do with it, but like.

Speaker 32 They have not lost a game that he has started and finished.

Speaker 9 Exactly.

Speaker 47 So who are these voters and

Speaker 32 when i get their addresses to send them a christmas card here's the deal there's 50 voters it's voted before the end of the regular season or at the end of the research like playoffs don't matter and i think they're all hungry for something new and a great new storyline so i think two of them remember when matt ryan won it one year was like oh that's something you know they rally around it we're we made the point on uh yet on monday's show that Like we are now just completely numb to Patrick Mahomes' greatness.

Speaker 8 He just gets, I think the stat was he has 50% of his regular season starts.

Speaker 41 He has over 300 yards.

Speaker 71 And so he'll just get 300 yards, four touchdowns, and be like, oh, yeah, average day for him.

Speaker 54 So you could just give him the MVP every year.

Speaker 32 The NFL network did

Speaker 32 top 100, I think, a few years ago, and he was voted like fourth. Which is crazy.
But it was, I think, just like fatigue.

Speaker 113 Right.

Speaker 27 It's like it's the Carl Malone MVP, you know, during MJ.

Speaker 32 Yeah, we're going to give it to these other guys because he can't win it every year. Right.

Speaker 32 Mahomes could conceivably win it every single single year. Yeah.
And I don't think anyone would blink an eye. But people like new stories.

Speaker 32 Tua, it's been a good story, but you could argue like Tyreek Hill's been as much of an important part to that as Tua.

Speaker 59 You could argue that, but he threw it to eight different stories.

Speaker 32 What do you guys make of

Speaker 32 you could argue, or you can make the case as someone starting a segment in any show?

Speaker 2 It's great because it's along the same lines of doing the many people are talking about this.

Speaker 86 Yeah, right.

Speaker 92 The conversation.

Speaker 2 Like, should we have the conversation about it? I like that one, too.

Speaker 29 And you could argue the Vikings are good.

Speaker 2 The brilliant thing about the, is it time to start the conversation conversation is you're starting the

Speaker 9 right while you're doing it, right?

Speaker 32 Um, we have a strict rule on our show: like, no, you could argue or you could make the point because that's just it's it's not anything.

Speaker 93 It's yeah, yeah, no, you're not making the point or you're not, yeah, yeah, right, but you could, yeah.

Speaker 32 And a lot of times, like, the ex-players would come on and do that, and I'll just like be like, I'll make a face, and they'll be like, what?

Speaker 118 Oh my god, that doesn't, I don't like that.

Speaker 2 You could actually make the argument that the 49ers are maybe poised to make the deepest playoff run out of all those teams that we've talked about, given the way that they're built. Your comment.

Speaker 117 True.

Speaker 2 Jimmy G wins football games.

Speaker 45 He does.

Speaker 32 They're good on both lines. They're going to get healthier.

Speaker 32 We haven't even seen what this offense could look like once Debo and McCaffrey are really going.

Speaker 113 So we'll see.

Speaker 32 Jimmy always throws that one, though, that'll kill you in a big spot.

Speaker 2 And Kyle, too, his brain in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 32 I love Kyle Shanahan.

Speaker 32 No,

Speaker 32 the numbers don't lie.

Speaker 29 There's something wrong.

Speaker 32 Fourth quarter, he's had a 10-point lead against the Rams in a big

Speaker 32 playoff game, did it. And, of course, 28-3 game, all that shit.
It does add up. At some point, he's got to break that.

Speaker 2 Do you think the people that were on that Falcons team ever get together and just hang out and commiserate? Because they all go, they kind of spread out all across the country.

Speaker 2 They're all doing their own things, but they're all followed around by the 28-3, by the ghost. You think they just don't talk to each other at all?

Speaker 2 Or do you think they've got still a group chat that they're all involved in?

Speaker 32 I think there's a real bond there. I think that is a traumatic experience as far as sports goes.
Grady Jarrett had that great sack of Brady that was thrown as roughing the passer this year.

Speaker 32 And someone on our show was just like, Grady Jarrett was on the 28-3. I'm like, he knows.
He knows. Grady Jarrett knows he was in the 28th to 3 game and that Brady beat him again.

Speaker 32 It follows him everywhere, whether it be Ryan, Kyle Shanahan, Dan Quinn, it follows them all. I'm sure there is a bond there.

Speaker 72 So Vikings, Eagles, Chiefs, Dolphins, give us a team that you, whether you have a source or not, that you're like, they're...

Speaker 32 I'm not done with the Bengals.

Speaker 96 Okay.

Speaker 125 Like, they're out of the playoffs right now.

Speaker 93 I'm not either.

Speaker 1 I just, Chase is out.

Speaker 32 His hip is actually good news that he didn't get surgery. He's not on the IR.

Speaker 32 I just, they scored five touchdowns with their running back who was like dormant all season the last time we saw them on the bye. They're coming out of it.

Speaker 32 Like, I just think Burroughs' the real deal, and I think that team, they've had their losses. They looked really crummy against, you know, some teams early on in the season.

Speaker 32 But I think they're going to come together. And I trust that quarterback and that wide receiver.
I really do think that they're going to be a team no one wants to play.

Speaker 57 Okay.

Speaker 2 I think we did kind of forget about the Bengals.

Speaker 32 They're not in the playoffs right now. If the playoffs were to be today, it's four AFC East teams making it and the other division winners.

Speaker 9 That's kind of cool.

Speaker 45 Yeah, it is cool. It's neat.

Speaker 2 What about the Jets? Are the Jets real?

Speaker 32 No.

Speaker 9 Oh, memes.

Speaker 32 Here's what I'll say. Their defense is awesome.
Their coaching staff has them playing. Their young talent is great.
But I just would love to see Zach. win a game on his arm or making a play.

Speaker 32 And until then, I'm not going to pick them over one of these other teams on a road playoff game, which is what they'd have to have to do right now.

Speaker 3 It's the Jets, I've thought a lot about them because we work with a lot of Jets fans and it's talked about a lot.

Speaker 8 It does feel

Speaker 6 2018 Bears vibes, where it's like your defense is really good, elite even, and it's like you just know in the back of your head, like, can the quarterback do what he needs to do?

Speaker 32 And that team had a home playoff game.

Speaker 125 Right.

Speaker 32 Like, the Jets probably right now, if they'd have to beat the Dolphins again, and the Bills have to lose a couple more, like, right now, they're in striking distance, but I don't know.

Speaker 32 First of all, they can't beat the the patriots they play the next time they play obviously but it's 13 straight games um and i really like everything about that 13 straight 13 straight not heard that one yet no that's wild since 2016 i believe 2015 was the last time they beat him and uh i think the bears have more wins against the patriots in what the last

Speaker 114 month yeah month last month yeah um

Speaker 32 i the jets thing because like as you guys know you're in new york every other person stops you oh the jets and it's like i sound like i'm being negative i'm not i love their young team It's being honest.

Speaker 32 I just, I'm honestly saying I just would love to see that the young quarterback make like a couple big plays in a big game before I crown them as like a contender.

Speaker 18 Okay, so along those lines, which fan base hates you the most?

Speaker 9 Yeah, good question.

Speaker 69 Thank you.

Speaker 32 A lot of fan bases do not.

Speaker 62 But like, which one is like, you, you just, no matter what, you'll just never.

Speaker 8 Like, we have a thing with the Vikings.

Speaker 46 It's more of Kirk Cousins thing.

Speaker 79 But, like, we, you know, you find yourself, you have a take, people remember it.

Speaker 14 They, you know, and I understand it because when someone says something bad about the Bears, I'm just like, fuck this guy.

Speaker 17 So I get it on the opposite side.

Speaker 63 When we say stuff on this show, like fan base is getting mad at me, I'm like, that's fair play.

Speaker 36 Like you're, you, you know your team better than I do.

Speaker 9 I'll give you one. Okay.

Speaker 32 Seahawks fans for years did not like me, and it was because of a 2012 FoxSports.com video

Speaker 113 that I did with Adam Schein at the draft.

Speaker 32 And I said,

Speaker 32 gosh, you're taking Russell Wilson, this undersized quarterback, when you just signed Matt Flynn.

Speaker 32 This draft grade is a D, you know, I'm literally in my 20s, like, you know, wearing a suit that I got at men's warehouse, and I'm like, ill-fitted suit, and I'm trying to be a serious sportscaster guy.

Speaker 32 And I'm like, how could you take Russell Wilson when you just got Matt Flynn and you have this thing? And, and, gosh, like, I wore that for a decade.

Speaker 2 You're vindicated, though, because Russell Wilson is.

Speaker 32 Isn't it funny? And it comes full circle, and now they hate Russell Wilson. And I'm like, I actually think Russ is pretty good.

Speaker 32 You know, like, I'm like, so Seahawks fans and then Chargers fans, fans, not that they feel like it's

Speaker 2 fans.

Speaker 35 Oh, four of them are.

Speaker 32 But that shit is what drives them insane.

Speaker 13 But then you can, you'll only hear from four.

Speaker 32 But they are strong in their

Speaker 126 twice.

Speaker 32 Their quantity is not huge, but they are very vocal. And, you know, I've been very big on Mahomes and the Chiefs.
And it's like, he's a Chiefs fan. I'm not a Chiefs fan.
I appreciate what it is.

Speaker 35 Mahomes is just really fucking good.

Speaker 32 The Chargers have blown a lot of opportunities over the years to shut me up.

Speaker 44 The Chargers also, it's not Chargers fans' fault.

Speaker 14 I think the media has like sucked the Chargers' dick so hard.

Speaker 54 And they haven't been to the playoffs.

Speaker 37 So it's like for me.

Speaker 2 Can you say that on NFL?

Speaker 88 I can't say that.

Speaker 100 It just, to me, it's one of those things where I have Chargers' fatigue, but it's no fault to the actual team.

Speaker 32 I think it's August Chargers fatigue. Right.

Speaker 32 This year, NFL network took a poll of all the people who are on air or on digital and they're like we're gonna do super bowl predictions and I took the chiefs over the packers fine it might not work out probably won't work out

Speaker 32 five of like the 20 people chose the chargers to win the whole thing that's wild that's not of the whole thing and I came on the show

Speaker 32 one playoff game I came on the show the next day and I'm like I gotta call this out like I don't mean to call out all our colleagues on the west coast who work for NFL network but that is ridiculous they haven't won a play they won one playoff game in a decade they haven't been to the playoffs so I just want to see it before it is and here we are They're right where they usually are.

Speaker 32 They're 5-4. They're in striking distance.
They've had a lot of close games. They've had some weird losses.
And that's been the Chargers over the years. And their fans do not like hearing that.

Speaker 31 Didn't the Chargers?

Speaker 2 They beat the Ravens in the playoffs, right? That's when

Speaker 2 Anthony Lynn. He was like, this is how I'm going to stop Lamar Jackson.
And he played like 11 defensive backs on the field.

Speaker 2 That was a brilliant game plan.

Speaker 32 It was. And I think Lamar in that game in the fourth quarter rallied him all the way back.
Michael Crabtree had a huge day, but

Speaker 32 that was a good Chargers playoff win. And they lost to the Patriots the next week.
But that's the only win they've had in eight years, I think.

Speaker 2 So I couldn't help but notice that you did not mention the Baltimore Ravens.

Speaker 32 Ooh, that's a good point. The Ravens are legit, too.
I should have mentioned the Ravens.

Speaker 32 Talked about the Bengals, but I thought the Ravens were a given. Yeah, the Ravens are no joke.

Speaker 41 Oh, no, they aren't a given. They are going to be upset that you didn't say that.

Speaker 58 I've had a thing with Ravens fans.

Speaker 2 I mean, if you're going to have four teams from the AFC East, I'm just doing the math here. The Bengals and the Ravens.

Speaker 9 Somebody can't make it, right?

Speaker 2 Somebody's going to be left out.

Speaker 32 Ravens are legit.

Speaker 32 I think one of those AFC East teams will drop out of the playoff picture, whether it be the Patriots, the jets okay or the dolphins i think no not the dolphins bills are fine i again haven't seen i don't know how much that's that's the other thing is like when the bills lose it's now it's credit to the bills for being where they are they'll be fine it feels big every time they lose massive and it's like i still think they're a very very good team one of the best teams in the nfl yeah i agree i mean they've he's so good and then he throws these you know interceptions and you guys are close with him and i know kyle on my show is buddies with him now i have no relationship with josh allen other than i respect his game like he makes these decisions late and he throws these balls and it's like like, oh, that seems like an anomaly, but he leads the league in interceptions, right?

Speaker 32 Right. But we just brush over it because he's so damn fun to watch.

Speaker 105 Right.

Speaker 41 It's, it's, uh, the way I describe it is like, and it might sound as a cop-out, and people will say we're biased, which we are, but it's like you take the good with the bad.

Speaker 14 Like, Josh Allen, what he does.

Speaker 32 Dude, when he's carrying Eric Kendrick seven yards and he's got a shoulder, but you're like, oh, I'd rather that guy than anyone else needs to do.

Speaker 44 You'd love for him not to throw the interceptions, but the good far right outweighs the bad.

Speaker 14 Yeah.

Speaker 53 So you got to just have to live with it.

Speaker 9 Totally.

Speaker 74 And he's a gunslinger.

Speaker 2 I just had an idea for how we can end this season for, you know, to make Jets fans happy because I do think that they are going to, if they make the playoffs, I don't think that's realistic to think that you're going to do anything there.

Speaker 2 They should just have a bowl game between the Jets and the Giants at the end of the season. Snoopy bowl.
Because both of those teams...

Speaker 31 At Met Life.

Speaker 9 Snoopy Bowl.

Speaker 2 I like that a lot. Just let them play each other.
That way, one of the two teams gets to end with their last game being a win, and they get to feel really good about their season.

Speaker 2 Because the Giants are... I think they kind of fall in that same bucket where they're a good team.
Seven and two.

Speaker 97 They're seven. Seven and two.

Speaker 2 They outperformed every expectation. They have every right to be super pumped for the future.
But also at the same time, you can admit, like, we're probably not going to do anything this year.

Speaker 32 I wouldn't think so.

Speaker 32 And the only thing that gives me the Giants more hope than the Jets is that the NFC is so wide open that I look at like, you know, the Eagles and the Vikings have these great records.

Speaker 32 Other than that, all the teams we thought were going to be great, the Bucs, the Rams, the Packers, the Cowboys, they've lost head-scratching games.

Speaker 32 Like the Giants could sneak in and have one of these miracle runs. AFC, I'm like, you know, it's tough.
It's a gauntlet to think you're going to beat Kansas City, Buffalo, Baltimore, all those teams.

Speaker 2 Yeah. And we're not talking about the Titans either.

Speaker 68 I know.

Speaker 9 They hate that. Let's keep forgetting about it.
Remember the Titans. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 Fraybull's going to hear this, and he's going to

Speaker 2 grab you on the back of the neck with a Vulcan death grip and make it.

Speaker 32 So hard to do.

Speaker 9 Always remember the Titans.

Speaker 60 Have you guys redrafted the 2021 quarterback draft yet?

Speaker 32 We haven't. Is that a thing teams that people are doing?

Speaker 9 Oh, I've seen it a lot on the media. So you want to do it real quick?

Speaker 75 Let's go. Let's do it.

Speaker 92 Okay. All right.

Speaker 32 One.

Speaker 118 We're going to go round Robin.

Speaker 23 No, no, no. You just go.

Speaker 85 You just go. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 99 I really only care about one. I think Fields is one.

Speaker 82 Oh, okay. All right.
We're good.

Speaker 101 Are we drafting running backs or quarterbacks?

Speaker 86 Oh, God.

Speaker 32 I think Fields is one, but solely because

Speaker 22 you have the sunglasses on for your avatar.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's the thing with the whole discussion of that, it's just a very lazy way to start the conversation about Justin Fields because he's going to get better as a passer.

Speaker 113 I think so. You've seen that.

Speaker 2 He's not god-awful. He's just not a great passer.

Speaker 13 There's just not a lot of weapons.

Speaker 32 And also, if he's able to run like this, then yes, that's that's a very good thing that he can it's a very good thing that none of the other guys can do anything close to what he does with running the ball and they're finally building the offense around him obviously and like i think you've said it a few times losing 31 to 30 on a cairo santos misector point like in a way you wink it's like it's not the worst thing you know like we got to see justin fields do it we don't need to stack wins right now yeah i would like to i i i'm now at the point i wouldn't mind sprinkling a win in a couple just one or two that's why that patriots win felt so good you got that one right if they lose like if they finish the season three and 14 i'm gonna be like yeah that kind of hurts.

Speaker 32 But there was a time earlier in the season where you're like, I don't, you know, Luke Getze, is he?

Speaker 9 And now it's like, okay, they've done something.

Speaker 32 They've drawn this up that works. He's one.
I think Trevor Lawrence has the biggest future. Yesterday, I thought he played well enough against Kansas City.

Speaker 32 And it just like, you see flashes, and then you see the same kind of stuff that just happens when you're on a bad football team. Yeah.

Speaker 9 You just like lose. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Do we trust in Doug? Is Doug going to turn that around? I think so.

Speaker 9 Yeah. I think I trust in Doug.
I trust Doug. I think.

Speaker 125 I like Doug.

Speaker 93 I like Doug.

Speaker 32 Has he been on the show?

Speaker 93 No, but I like Doug.

Speaker 31 Good dude.

Speaker 9 Yeah, it's just Doug.

Speaker 97 All right, so then

Speaker 9 Jackson.

Speaker 32 You got Lance, and you got Wilson.

Speaker 45 Trey Lance doesn't even count right now.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 19 I don't know. Mac's been bad this year.

Speaker 14 So Zach Wilson.

Speaker 32 No, he'sn't shown us anything.

Speaker 96 Davis Mills?

Speaker 32 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 9 I would go Mac.

Speaker 32 Zach Davis Mills.

Speaker 9 Ooh, okay.

Speaker 1 And this is taking Trey Lance totally out of it because we just don't know.

Speaker 74 Yeah. He just hasn't played enough football.

Speaker 32 He hasn't played enough. And I think Zach Wilson has a great opportunity to shut a lot of people up over the next few weeks.

Speaker 32 They're in the driver's seat right now. Yeah.

Speaker 2 They are. This is a good opportunity.
I would say Panay Sewell, number one. I think you got to protect the quarterback.

Speaker 32 Panay Sewell or Jamar Chase. Remember that debate?

Speaker 2 Yeah, those memes. Those are great.
Those are like that.

Speaker 9 It's never ending.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think maybe both teams ended up with guys that they like. You can both win a little bit on that.

Speaker 32 The Diggs and Jefferson trade.

Speaker 97 Also,

Speaker 32 there was a poll by the athletic, and I'm not sure if it was with the agents or anything.

Speaker 32 It was like they were ranking all the general managers, and Howie Rossman from the Eagles was like 14th or something.

Speaker 32 And I just laugh like with those draft decisions, like he will never escape that Jalen Rager over Justin.

Speaker 32 No matter how many Super Bowls, no matter how many playoff things, like that's the kind of shit that just sticks in people's face when you miss that by like one.

Speaker 84 Because you know what it is? It's

Speaker 63 fans, and I do this all the time, I'll just go back and look at drafts and just be like, look at that.

Speaker 9 Pro FootballReference.com. Look at all those guys that did you do that with Trubisky?

Speaker 32 Like, would you just No, I never did.

Speaker 9 But like, no, no, no, I never.

Speaker 74 At some point, I've never once thought of it.

Speaker 29 But at some point, I wouldn't be like Mahomes, Peter. No, never.

Speaker 32 Never. The Niners get a pass on that.
They took Solomon Thomas.

Speaker 9 Thank you. They're like, we got Brian Hoyer.
We're going to go.

Speaker 100 Solomon Thomas is the biggest bust from that track.

Speaker 32 We got Brian Hoyer. We're solid.
Thank you.

Speaker 14 I tried to start

Speaker 114 an alternate narrative that Leonard Fournette was the biggest bust and he won a Super Bowl and was phenomenal and also became a friend of ours and a blogger on Barstill Sports.

Speaker 114 I stopped that.

Speaker 46 But yeah, I've done all the tricks.

Speaker 2 If you look at who you could have drafted, you also have to take into account that they would have then, like in my case, they would have had to be a Washington Redskin football team and commander.

Speaker 39 Yeah, Patrick Holmes in a Bears uniform makes no sense.

Speaker 2 Yes, like it doesn't always work like that. It's mostly like things regress to how your organization is run.

Speaker 32 Everyone always does the Knicks passed on Steph Curry. Steph Curry went to the most amazing place,

Speaker 97 or they didn't trade up, whatever it was.

Speaker 32 It was like either pick after or pick before. If Steph Curry's on the Knicks, I'm sure he's a very good player.
He's not Steph Curry, though.

Speaker 54 Yeah, no, he, yeah, his ankles would have disintegrated.

Speaker 39 I've always said Patrick Mahomes would get hit by a bus in Chicago.

Speaker 108 Like, those Patrick Mahomes, that type of quarterback being on the Bears just doesn't compute ever.

Speaker 63 Okay, this has been awesome. I have one last question.

Speaker 12 This college football season, we are feeling the cheesiest with Cheez-It, the ultimate irresistible football-watching snack.

Speaker 129 Cheez-It brings 100% real cheese and deliciousness to every game.

Speaker 12 Fuel your game day cravings with cheesy, crunchy, salty deliciousness.

Speaker 32 And fuel your cheese it fandom at cheeseit.com use code stool25 for 20 off your order are you allowed to gamble not you aren't and i don't even do nca tournament pools bro like i can't i sign away my life no i'm serious i don't want to either i actually enjoy fancy football No, so you don't do anything?

Speaker 32 No, I do a fancy football, but no money.

Speaker 113 What's that like?

Speaker 32 It's actually really purifying and like liberating in a lot of ways. I watch you guys all the time.
I know, and like to not have any stakes in it is such a great way to just watch football.

Speaker 2 No, No, but it makes you care so much about everything.

Speaker 32 But like, I don't have to, you got, there's a lot going on. Like, I, I couldn't handle watching, like, the, waiting for the final.
I know you, I watch you guys. I trust me.
I listen to you.

Speaker 32 When that over hits in the last play, it looks like the greatest like thing in the world. And it's like so exciting.
I don't have that in me where I'm like, I need that.

Speaker 38 So is that like, but is there an NFL like you guys can't gamble?

Speaker 126 Yeah, no, they don't want us gambling.

Speaker 15 That's so crazy to me that, like, why wouldn't you want to, why wouldn't they want NFL?

No connection to McVay.

Speaker 37 Okay, it's time.

Speaker 22 One question with the quarterback.

Speaker 63 And we have a very special guest, recurring guest, quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, Matt Ryan.

Speaker 54 He is...

Speaker 16 Calling us from, he's got pickup line. What number are you?

Speaker 14 Oh, no, I can't ask that question.

Speaker 8 Shit.

Speaker 37 He's waiting for his kids.

Speaker 16 He just put up number three, so that's a nice number in the pickup line at school.

Speaker 1 So thank you for joining us, Matt.

Speaker 22 We all get one question.

Speaker 63 You get one question.

Speaker 80 I'll start.

Speaker 100 Sunday, big win against the Raiders, 39-yard run from you.

Speaker 21 Was there a point during the run where you're like, where is everyone?

Speaker 131 Yeah, probably about five yards into it. I was like,

Speaker 131 this isn't normal. You know, like, I've been doing it for a long time, and it's probably been 20 years since I had a run that long since I was in high school.
So it was pretty cool. We needed it.

Speaker 131 It was a huge play in that game, and I was gassed the next play, though. I was dying.

Speaker 88 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 That's great. That was a fantastic play to watch.
My question is: after the game's over, you've got Jeff Saturday, brand new head coach in this league, a lot of naysayers, a lot of doubters.

Speaker 2 In the locker room, what was his message to the team?

Speaker 131 He was short, man. He was just like, I appreciate the work this week.

Speaker 131 Most importantly, he was like, see you Wednesday, gave us the victory Monday, which is really all the players want to hear at that point.

Speaker 131 You know, so yeah, he knows. He knows.
He's a former player. So he got in the good graces there, kind of giving us Monday, Tuesday off.
And

Speaker 131 it was fun, man. It was a wild week.
I got to tell you.

Speaker 131 It was a wild week. And for it to end that way, it was really cool.

Speaker 6 Yeah, it was a wild week.

Speaker 24 All right, Billy, you got a question?

Speaker 103 Hi, Matt. Billy here with Part of My Take.
Just wondering, what's it like playing in front of Sam Ellinger?

Speaker 32 And does that fuel you to do better?

Speaker 13 Billy's a big Sam Ellinger guy.

Speaker 131 Yeah. No, listen, I love Sam.

Speaker 131 He's a good kid, no doubt about it. And

Speaker 131 I told him like two weeks ago, the only way this situation is going to be awkward is if we make it awkward. So, you know, it's, it's, uh, both of us want to play.

Speaker 131 Only one of us is going to get to play. And, uh, you know, so it was a strange deal for sure.
Uh, but, you know, when I found out I was going back in, you know, I didn't worry too much about it.

Speaker 131 I love Sam, but I didn't worry too much about it.

Speaker 13 Yeah.

Speaker 14 I mean, it sounds like you're, yeah, I mean, it sounds like of all the quarterbacks I'd have to think of like having that situation go down, you'd probably be at the top of the list of guys that like would make it cool and like not, you know, awkward.

Speaker 131 Well, I I appreciate that. I tried not to make it awkward.
Don't get me wrong, I was pissed, but yeah, yeah, the competitor.

Speaker 2 I mean, I would just say iron sharpens iron.

Speaker 9 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 65 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta do it.

Speaker 131 All right, so it's my question for you guys now.

Speaker 1 We have one more.

Speaker 40 Jake has a question. Okay.

Speaker 13 Jake, go ahead.

Speaker 2 Whatever you want, Jake.

Speaker 69 Go ahead, Jake.

Speaker 2 You don't have to ask the one I just said. I see the look on your face.

Speaker 109 You're like, I don't want to ask.

Speaker 9 Go ahead, Jake. You got this.

Speaker 111 Hey, Matt, Jake Marsh, part of my take podcast. Congratulations on the win this week.
But what's the longest you have gone without having to hear about 28 to 3?

Speaker 9 Oh,

Speaker 88 yeah.

Speaker 131 I'll give like the in-season answer. It's once a week because it's every stadium I go into.
Some unoriginal clown comes up and goes with the 28-3 line. So it's every week, every week in season.

Speaker 131 But during the offseason, it just depends if I'm back in New England or not. If I'm up in New England where I went to school where my wife's from, then we'll hear plenty about it.

Speaker 131 But, you know, they're I like guys that like, or fans that, you know, have creative, like, good digs at you.

Speaker 131 But when it's unoriginal stuff, like 28 to 3, you're like, yeah, well, and now you have to reset the counter because Jake just brought it up.

Speaker 14 So today, correct.

Speaker 88 This week. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 54 We have Max. You have a question.

Speaker 14 We have one last question from Max, who's also a Philly guy. Yeah.

Speaker 54 Philly to Philly.

Speaker 21 Go ahead, Max. Big Interact fan.

Speaker 78 Did Jim Ursay cry this week?

Speaker 86 Oh, good question. Good question.

Speaker 131 I didn't see him cry after the game. No, I didn't see him cry.

Speaker 131 He's filled with emotion, though. I'll just say it that way.
He's a man filled with lots of emotions.

Speaker 131 But I didn't see him cry.

Speaker 88 No, I didn't see it.

Speaker 9 I love him.

Speaker 2 Tell him I say that I love him. That's not a question.
Just tell him PFT says that he loves you.

Speaker 5 And we joked on the podcast that that might have been a top five day for Jim Ursa because it was a weird week and a lot of people were coming after him.

Speaker 67 And to have that all culminate in a win had to have felt pretty damn good for him.

Speaker 131 Yeah, he was feeling pretty good last night. He was feeling pretty good last night in the locker room afterwards.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 16 So now's your time for one question.

Speaker 23 All right.

Speaker 131 I'm going to go with, I know you guys are big on the picks.

Speaker 131 How did we do?

Speaker 131 How did you boys do this weekend?

Speaker 2 And who did we win on? So question.

Speaker 109 You.

Speaker 93 We won on you.

Speaker 2 The second Jeff Saturday was announced as head coach. I was like, you know what? I like it, and I think that he's probably going to bring Maddie Ice back because

Speaker 2 you've played in more NFL games, probably easier for a new coach to come into a situation with a veteran. So

Speaker 2 we dropped the house on you this week.

Speaker 23 It was my mortal lock.

Speaker 9 It was my mortal lock.

Speaker 18 I don't know if you know that, but my mortal lock is very important.

Speaker 108 Mortal Lock was the Colts, and

Speaker 17 we watched every play, and it was a great week.

Speaker 8 It was actually a very good Sunday, which they are rare.

Speaker 37 Like, you know, I've given this speech before to players.

Speaker 38 Like, you guys think you have it tough because you actually have to play the games.

Speaker 110 You don't because we have to watch and bet on them.

Speaker 6 And it's a lot tougher for us to have to, because you play one game.

Speaker 3 We bet every game.

Speaker 131 Tough, man.

Speaker 126 The NFL is brutal, too.

Speaker 23 I mean, it really is.

Speaker 88 Yeah, for us.

Speaker 2 And then I got to go out there again tonight. Yeah.

Speaker 85 Yeah, you have tonight. You're going to play back to back.

Speaker 2 You have victory Monday and Tuesday. Yeah.
You're not at work till Wednesday. I got to strap them up tonight.
Yeah.

Speaker 24 We're back to the battle. You got to strap it up tonight.

Speaker 88 Get ready for Thursday night.

Speaker 131 Yeah. You guys go on Thursday nights.
Thursday night's been a disaster this year.

Speaker 2 We still watch.

Speaker 2 I'm addicted to football. I'm a football addict.

Speaker 29 Yeah. And you're game.

Speaker 2 You can put a football game on Wednesday morning at 6:30, and I'm going to just call in sick to work and be like, nope, got to stay home.

Speaker 100 Yeah, and I hope you understand that your Thursday night game in Denver, it was so bad it got good.

Speaker 13 Like, it got funny.

Speaker 54 I I don't know if you guys ever feel that in the huddle and like, but we were watching it.

Speaker 3 We're like, this game sucks.

Speaker 69 And by the end, when we got to overtime, we're like, this game kind of rules.

Speaker 131 Yeah, it felt that way during the game. I was like, I can't believe this.
You know, we're playing the worst offense

Speaker 131 I've been a part of, you know? And then you look up at the end of the game and you're like, holy shit, we won.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 131 We won. We had a chance to, it was crazy.
So it was, they've been wild games on Thursday nights.

Speaker 2 I think we had you guys that night, too.

Speaker 45 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Actually, we had you guys against against the Chiefs as well. Yes, when the roof was open.

Speaker 2 I'm not going to ask a question about the roof being open, but I just know that when the roof is open, that adds a little extra pep in your step. It's like, okay, God gets to watch us on Sunday.

Speaker 2 That's pretty cool.

Speaker 109 Yeah.

Speaker 131 That's exactly what I'm thinking when they open it up.

Speaker 93 All right.

Speaker 37 Well, Matt, thank you so much for taking a few minutes with us. We appreciate it.

Speaker 40 Best of luck the rest of the season.

Speaker 8 And yeah, that was one question with the quarterback.

Speaker 37 Very easy, right?

Speaker 131 Awesome, you guys are the best. Thanks for having me on.

Speaker 15 All right, thanks, Matt.

Speaker 77 Thank you, Matt.

Speaker 13 Appreciate it.

Speaker 78 she said that we are not thinking about our female listeners.

Speaker 22 Sup. Did you see that bar, by the way?

Speaker 14 Oh, yeah, I showed you.

Speaker 4 There's a Bonks bar in Philly.

Speaker 2 Not familiar with it. It's called Bonks.

Speaker 2 We'll never go to that bar.

Speaker 51 Someone asked me on Twitter what my favorite version of the coffee was.

Speaker 65 I said the light roast, and they said bonk.

Speaker 113 I was like, what?

Speaker 2 Yeah, the bonks are just, they're out of control.

Speaker 2 They really are. It's gotten to the point, like,

Speaker 2 if there's like any...

Speaker 2 If I reference a woman, people are like, bonk.

Speaker 2 Just because I sent the group chat last night a picture of Miley Cyrus with her left hand up while she was riding a giant inflatable penis doesn't mean that

Speaker 51 that was also different than the one you tweeted at Kevin Durant which means you have a library of Miley Cyrus pictures no what happened was I searched Miley Cyrus left hand up and then

Speaker 2 and then I saw I saw that one picture and then I saw the one with her riding the giant inflatable penis and I was like that's a little bit too much that's too hot for the internet that I'll keep that one to the group chat personal chat all right sup's up just bought big cat's new coffee and I'm feeling jacked Anyway, recently three guys from my past have tried to come back into my life, but I'm pretty sure each of them just wants to fuck.

Speaker 9 Uh,

Speaker 51 I've only hooked up with one of them.

Speaker 51 My birthday is this weekend, and I'm debating how to best handle this with the amount of alcohol I'll be consuming and the potentially bad decisions I'll be making.

Speaker 51 Please send your best advice on how to handle these boys. Also, I'm a Vikings fan who completely agrees with your opinions on Kirk Cousins, but won't apologize for anyone.

Speaker 51 You just got to invite them all and see who hangs around the longest.

Speaker 2 Yes, I like that.

Speaker 2 It's kind of like in the reunion episodes of Love is Blind, when they just get everybody in a bar together and get them drunk. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And then they all just start fighting and one person will eventually go home with a person.

Speaker 8 Yeah, just invite them all at different

Speaker 17 times.

Speaker 48 So like invite one that you like the most maybe at seven and then be tell the other one meet us at this bar at 7.30 and then 8 o'clock and have them all just show up and have to like figure out on the fly.

Speaker 2 Or just be like, hey, can you guys all come over at 9 to this bar called Airtight?

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 65 Put them in a group of texts.

Speaker 35 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, put them on a, that's a good move.

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 41 It's getting, it's It's getting cold out.

Speaker 17 I'd like to make sure I'm airtight for the winner.

Speaker 51 Hi, guys. I recently decided to get back on the dating apps and opted to put in my bio about being a Bears fan as a conversation starter.

Speaker 51 The problem is, when guys send me a message about football, they always do the, as an X fan.

Speaker 51 Two of the last messages I received over the weekend are, as a Colts fan, I still think the way Fields is playing right now is sick. And I thought the no PI call at the end of the Bears Dolphins game.

Speaker 37 That's the horniest man alive.

Speaker 29 Well, it's on a dating app.

Speaker 51 And then, and I thought the no PI call at the end of the Bears Dolphins game was bad, and that's coming from a Bengals fan.

Speaker 9 Oh,

Speaker 51 should I even be responding and giving these guys a shot? Appreciate the help.

Speaker 29 No.

Speaker 5 No,

Speaker 37 you should wait till one of them does something funny.

Speaker 29 That's funny with it.

Speaker 9 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 13 Wait till someone does something funny with it.

Speaker 2 Are you also, you have to be thinking about your future here a little bit where you're anticipating what, like, your future children will be growing up in a house-divided situation.

Speaker 2 You want to make sure that they have at least one great franchise. That's true.

Speaker 51 I don't know that people aren't dating apps thinking that many steps in advance.

Speaker 93 But if they should be.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 66 Like, make sure that you have some type of like well-run organization.

Speaker 51 Yeah. If you're thinking that far in advance, you're never going to find anyone.
Put it that way.

Speaker 19 Oh, wow.

Speaker 77 Deep from Hank. All right.

Speaker 19 It's true.

Speaker 51 Hey, Hey, guys, my boyfriend is a big fan of your show.

Speaker 28 What about you? Yeah.

Speaker 2 All right, next.

Speaker 2 I am too. Oh,

Speaker 50 okay.

Speaker 50 Psych.

Speaker 92 Nice reading. I am too for being honest.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's on Hank.

Speaker 33 That's totally honest.

Speaker 77 Wait, wait, wait. And she said, if we're being honest?

Speaker 9 Now I'm back off for lying. Yeah.

Speaker 106 But I had a serious question.

Speaker 51 Is it normal for you guys to hump everything? My guy will walk up to any random wall or chair or even me and start dry humping aggressively, lol.

Speaker 2 You're dating a golden retriever it does make me laugh but i gotta wonder if it's normal dude behavior no i would say no i don't think i've ever humped anything i the only time i'm trying to

Speaker 41 i the only time you would do a hump outside of sex is like if you're if like someone's on camera and you walk up behind them and do a little

Speaker 45 that's just good guy humor yeah where it's like eh look at them it's almost like an air hump yeah right

Speaker 54 but actual physical objects of humping them no i think that, I think you got a, I think he's got a problem.

Speaker 97 Yeah. A big problem.

Speaker 55 Do you think that he knows that he does this?

Speaker 44 So when he listens to this part of the show, he's like, oh, fuck.

Speaker 17 I just got out at it as a humper.

Speaker 50 He probably does, yeah.

Speaker 28 I mean, there can't be that many

Speaker 2 alcoholics.

Speaker 1 I think you need to squeeze all the humps out of him.

Speaker 14 You just have to have more sex.

Speaker 13 He's walking around with extra humps in his sex.

Speaker 2 Like that guy should get bonked.

Speaker 69 Yeah.

Speaker 2 That guy is extremely horny. But if he's like looking at a couch and thinking to himself, like...

Speaker 42 Yeah, but you're getting mad at the horny police and now you are the horny police well yeah but i think i'm doing a much better job i got the gun regulating it i'm like the ftx guy i'm writing the regulations yeah but he needs to it sounds like you need to get the humps out of him because you can't hump forever so get him out and then he'll walk around he won't have to hump things

Speaker 51 all right two more two more good ones hi pmt my host my husband only wants to go down on me when he's high or drunk which is the occasional weekend for him just some courage courage there i asked asked him why, and he says that it's just a coincidence and really no reason.

Speaker 51 I'm concerned because I decay if this is a problem with me or a problem with him, or even if this is how most guys are. What should I do to get him to go downtown while he's sober?

Speaker 2 Maybe just give him some cash afterwards. Sounds like he needs some encouragement.

Speaker 2 He needs to just be like nudged over the fence, which is why he's drinking the beer or why he's getting high beforehand. He just needs to know that it's okay to do.

Speaker 51 He just don't wear pants to bet.

Speaker 81 Yeah, he's got, ooh, I like that.

Speaker 5 Yeah, he's basically like working up the courage to go deep sea diving.

Speaker 90 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 17 Billy? Stella Blue.

Speaker 103 All the reviews talked about courage.

Speaker 42 make it something so that it makes the scent smell good.

Speaker 84 This coffee is so good, it will eat your pussy.

Speaker 76 What was the Michael J.

Speaker 2 Fox thing there, Hank?

Speaker 24 Was he a big pussy eater?

Speaker 31 No, you're no, you're thinking of Michael J.

Speaker 14 Fox is not.

Speaker 2 I'm thinking of, uh, I'm not going to say the joke I thought of, but yeah, don't for the record.

Speaker 83 I had tough for

Speaker 92 you, it'd be like a vibrator.

Speaker 9 That's what I was going to say. Yes,

Speaker 116 Gordon Gecko.

Speaker 97 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 65 Uh-huh. No.
Yeah, you are.

Speaker 57 Yeah, you are.

Speaker 80 Michael,

Speaker 2 what's his name? Catherine Zeta Jones is.

Speaker 23 Who got cancer from eating pussy?

Speaker 126 Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas.

Speaker 65 Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas.

Speaker 53 Michael Douglas.

Speaker 51 Got cancer from eating pussy. Ate too much pussy.
That's what I was talking about.

Speaker 99 Which is objectively like if

Speaker 59 all cancer sucks.

Speaker 60 Everyone knows someone who's had cancer.

Speaker 5 It's the worst.

Speaker 36 But getting like pussy eating cancer kind of rocks.

Speaker 101 I think Michael Douglas and Michael J.

Speaker 51 Fox is that far off.

Speaker 55 Pretty far off. Very different.

Speaker 2 Their names are both Michael. Yeah.

Speaker 109 Actors.

Speaker 101 Who's that guy with Parkinson's? Michael Jordan?

Speaker 51 Hello, PMT. My boyfriend is weirdly scared.

Speaker 83 I mean, that's basically what you just just said. No, dude,

Speaker 51 they're both actors in the same era with the name Michael.

Speaker 2 Michael J. Fox is a very, he's a very well-known guy.
Yeah.

Speaker 113 So is Michael Douglas.

Speaker 109 Yeah, he got cancer from eating pussy. Exactly.

Speaker 87 Fuck, I just lost the last one.

Speaker 75 One second.

Speaker 36 Hello, PMT.

Speaker 98 Jake, do you, as a broadcaster, seeing Michael Douglas'

Speaker 48 trials and tribulations, are you like, I won't eat pussy for my voice?

Speaker 2 No, I just use cough drop.

Speaker 111 I put a cough drop in my water the other day.

Speaker 61 Nice.

Speaker 9 Wow.

Speaker 110 Safest man alive.

Speaker 86 Yeah.

Speaker 51 It's basically lean.

Speaker 120 Jake's on the lean.

Speaker 101 He's on the purple.

Speaker 23 Hello.

Speaker 120 Chopped and screwed.

Speaker 61 Jake is.

Speaker 36 Hello, PMT.

Speaker 51 My boyfriend is weirdly scared of the dark and refuses to leave the room to pee in the middle of the night.

Speaker 57 Also a dog.

Speaker 106 He has chosen to keep a gallon jug in his room that he pisses in.

Speaker 51 How can I stop him from doing this? Cora in Indiana.

Speaker 9 All right.

Speaker 93 Nightlight.

Speaker 2 Now, the piss jug is something that most guys, I think, leave behind in college.

Speaker 2 The piss jug was an integral part of my college experience. Yes.
Because

Speaker 2 I didn't have a sink or anything in my room to pee in.

Speaker 2 But most guys, when they move in with a woman, they just get rid of the bedpan lifestyle.

Speaker 2 So I think Nightlight is probably the move at this point, but I think you need to have a conversation with him of, hey,

Speaker 2 why do you think it's okay to just have a giant jug of piss in the room with me at any given time?

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 111 Just use your phone flashlight to guide you to the bathroom.

Speaker 15 I think you need to get him a nightlight or a binky.

Speaker 42 Because he's.

Speaker 5 If he actually is scared of the dark, I think that's the.

Speaker 38 It's like the pissing is not the problem.

Speaker 24 It's like you can't be.

Speaker 98 You can't actually be afraid of the dark.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 37 I mean, the dark is scary.

Speaker 1 There are times when it's like, you know, when you walk into your house and like no lights are on?

Speaker 42 And you're like, what if someone's

Speaker 2 always in it?

Speaker 53 Behind like the shower curtain.
