And thank you for your service, Billy. It is Veterans Day.
Good job, Billy. Let's just all clap it up for Veterans Day.
Also like appreciate it. The sacrifices hundred fifth anniversary of world war one ending.
Mm hmm. So that's kind of cool.
Just a lot. The Marines.
I love was the war to end all wars. Yes.
We've never fought another one since. That was it.
That was it. It was mortal lock.
Yep. Ward and all wars.
uh yeah they can't lose game of the year war to end all wars um the i do love that marines go around and say happy birthday to each other on on the 10th veterans day i think the 10th i think the 10th is today oh it's today yeah yeah that's awesome simplify do or die that's fun i can't why i allowed to say that yeah as a Why not? As a pacifist? I mean, you know Billy. Yeah, it's true.
So, Billy, any words? Congrats. I'm not in the military.
Okay. All right.
Yeah. Well, not presently.
But you'd give it all up. You would.
You'd give it all up. You have the skills to be in the military.
You do play a lot of Call of Duty. Choose your own.
Actually, you know what? I might bet the house on Kyler Murray this weekend. Yeah.
Big weekend for him. Huge.
Choose your own adventure Thursday night football. We are headed to Philly for the Barstool Invitational.
So if you are in Philly on Friday, November 11th, come to the games. We have two games, Wells Fargo Center.
You can also watch it at Barstool.tv. We have Toledo versus UAB, which is going to be electric.
A lot of points. I'm excited to see Jelly Walker.
Jelly Walker. Because Jelly captured our hearts last year.
I'm so excited he's back at UAB. And I think Jelly knows that the spotlight is on him this weekend.
Oh, yeah. And Jelly with a spotlight on him will not.
He might not pass the ball. No.
I hope he scored 38 in his first game this year. He won't go for 50.
Yeah, he won't go for 50. No chance.
I don't think so. And then Mississippi State versus Akron in the second game.

So it's going to be great.

Jake will be on the call, our darling Jake.

I'll be there with Dave as well on the call.

So go watch us at Barstool.tv.

So that's why we're taping early.

Jake, are you excited?

Like, tell me how.

I bet you've been doing prep for this for the last two months.

Yeah, since Big Cock gave me the official nod,

I've been doing prep every day, I'd say. I'm hear you oh i i'm so excited to hear jake like jelly is an afterthought for me i'm pumped for jake jake what is the one name that you are uh the most worried about mispronouncing the toledo head coach is actually todd kowalchuk kowalchuk i think you I nailed that.
But it ends, it's spelled T-O-D-1-D-K-O-W-A-L-C-Z-Y-K.

I like that. But it's spelled T-O-D-1-D-K-O-W-A-L-C-Z-Y-K.
I like that. Todd Kowalczyk.
The Kowalczyks have like 11 kids. They live down the road, got great snacks at their house.
The Kowalczyks. Everyone's friends with one of the Kowalczyks.
Yeah, I think that's a solid basketball name, too. How are you going to deal with doing two games? Because it's like you get all worked up and excited for the end of the first one,

and then you have to kind of start back and mellow back down.

Yeah, I mean, once the first game hits,

I don't think of the words Mississippi State Akron until the first game.

Yeah, I haven't thought of those words at all.

In my prep.

Whisper those words into Jake's ears during the first game.

I've been thinking about, like, should I?

I'm going to do some prep, but Hank and I were talking, and basically my job is to just make sure that you and Dave coexist. And I will – yeah, no, I know.
I'm going to be – I'm just going to be glue guy. Jelly Dan.
Between the two of you, yeah. That's kind of my job is to, like, the translator between the two of you back and forth.
But it's going to be fun. It should be fun.
Also, I've been told we can openly talk about your bets and the lines. So if there's an over or a bat, we're allowed to say, oh my God, there's the over.
Hammer the over in the first game. Toledo plays up and down.
UAB, Jelly Walker, we talked about it. So choose your own adventure Thursday Night Football.
So we're taping early. Falcons, Panthers, we looked at the schedule and we're like, yeah, this is a game we could probably, you know, everyone get on their way because PFT, you're going to play rugby this weekend.
Jake's going down to Philly. Panthers tried really hard but lost.
Yeah, so Sam Darnold is in the mix again for the Panthers. So that's interesting.
They've got a three-headed monster at quarterback, a log jam at quarterback, if you will. And I think all three of those quarterbacks, if you took their best assets and combined them into one quarterback, I think they would be exactly equal to how good Marcus Mariota is.
Yes. Which is to say, slightly below average as a starting quarterback in the NFL.
I like Arthur Smith in this matchup. I think that Arthur's going to have him dialed in.
I think Corderell Patterson is going to get the Corderell Patterson game that we have been waiting for. And I think the Falcons are going to win 28-17.
Whoa. So kind of a blowout.
Mini blowout. Kind of a mini.
It's a mini blowout. Mini blowout.
Yeah. And I think that the Falcons will end this weekend in first place of the NFC South.
Okay. I'm going with just a weird score because it feels like a weird score game.
I'm going to say the Falcons win 25-22. Oh, I like that.
Yeah. That's a good score.
Something weird. Maybe even the Panthers miss a field goal, like a 54-yard field goal to tie the game to bring it to overtime.
Oh, and I'm hammering the over three and a half field goals tonight. So, Young Way C the coup game yes what are you gonna say over over coldest gambler on this show maybe you are so bad right now hank i have some good news for you though the over is hitting no no i have some other good news for you so let's do our week 10 preview there's not an underdog i don't like yeah yeah it's fucking insane yeah fucking insane.
I had to talk myself into one of the favorites this week,

and even still, I'm not that confident.

No.

I wish I could just pick underdogs.

I might just blindly bet every underdog.

I think I'm going to do a round robin for the early games.

Yeah.

Underdogs?

Every single one.

Yeah, I like it.

Can't lose, I don't think.

Cannot lose.

The underdogs are actually favorites in my mind this weekend.

Yeah.

Yeah. It's crazy.
I think this is. But wait, that would make the favorites the underdogs.
Yes. And this also, I've been doing this for long enough time to know that there is always one week where all the underdogs do win, but you never know when it's coming.
So you can't. No, no, no.
You can't predict it because it happens when you take all the favorites and everyone just gets wiped out at the same time. Billy.
You guys really think the Texans got a chance? Oh, I think they have a chance, yeah. Sure.
Why not? Okay. I mean, maybe not, but, well, against the spread, yes.
I don't think the Giants are a team that beats teams by more than, you know, a field goal. Okay.
Yeah, they play. I don't think that the Texans lose by more than 10 points ever.
Yeah. Yeah, they lost by 11 of the Eagles, but that was covering the spread.
I'm counting that as less than 10 points. Yeah, because it was covering the spread.
So I feel like the Texans are a chippy team. The Giants are probably going to win this game by like four points.
Yeah. All right, so let's get into it.
Let's talk about every game. Let's preview it uh we'll do our mount rushmore as well i fucked it up last week aaron well i shouldn't say i fucked it up aaron jones fucked it up by getting hurt we don't injury shame but yeah that did suck he's china doll yeah uh okay hank oh yeah we have the the records i feel like we're moving things in the right direction, right? Just you.
No, PFT was 3-1.

I'll tip it the cap to us.

The first week, we didn't have an 0-4 week.

Nice.

Okay.

Hang the banner.

Big Cat at 19-16-1.

Okay.

54%.

Me and PFT tied for second at 16-20.

Hank, two games behind us at 14-22.

Max, 13-22-1.

And Billy at 13-23. So, three people separated by one game at the bottom billy what was the what was the reaction that little tie yeah little tie put me well that counts as a half a point if it gets down to it yeah hank's at one and 11 in the last three weeks oh my god my god hey hank what's wrong with you someone also pointed out like hank has has a major malfunction in his brain right now because we passed right over it.

But he picks 17 every time for the lottery machine, never gets it.

And then after Monday Night Football, he's like, yeah, I alternate bet the Ravens minus 17 and got screwed.

It's like, what's up with 17, dude?

You got a 17 problem.

You addicted to 17?

Yeah, probably.

You're addicted to 17, yeah. Yeah, Maybe be more like Drake and get addicted to 14.
Cover that spread. Yeah, just buy the points.
Yeah. Okay.
Let's start with favorites. It's ugly.
It's very ugly. Hank.
I don't even... Can you opt out of favorites?

No, you cannot.

I'm going to go back to the well.

They killed me last week, broke my soul in half.

Los Angeles Rams minus one and a half.

Yeah.

So do we know the status of Matthew Stafford? He's in the concussion protocol right now.

So if Matthew Stafford does not play, we are getting something called John Walford.

Okay.

On Sunday. Oh, we got that, right? Was he on the scene? I don't mind a John Walford game.
I'm changing it. I'm going Dallas Cowboys minus five.
Oh, I want by week. I want to call you the Packers are horrible.
You should be called the P word for that. You're also the S word square.
I'm the C word. P.S.
Hank, this is a bad pick.

Okay. All right.
So is that your pick? The Cowboys minus five is my official pick. Okay.
First time in Aaron Rodgers' 121 career starts at Lambeau Field that he's more than a field goal underdog. And it's like, we have a lot of revenge games this week.
Oh, yeah. And Mike McCarthy revenge game.
The Packers have not been this bad since his last season there when he got fired midseason for, I almost said Regis Philbin, but it was Joe Philbin. I don't know if the Packers are going to win this game, but I feel like they're going to cover it because you can't get lower.
They are as low as possible in terms of a stock. And even that Lions game, they probably should have won that Lions game by a couple touchdowns if they just weren't the most atrocious team ever on goal line situations.
If you bet on the Packers last weekend, there's probably a 0% chance that you're betting on them again. You're scarred.
That's like I'm never going back to them. You just lost against the Lions, and Aaron Rodgers threw two red zone interceptions, which never happens.
So you are so pissed off about that bet, you're probably not going back. Matt LaFleur is 11-3 against the spread after a loss.
Which probably has taken a – he probably was 11-0 until this year. Because he's probably just putting up L's every single time.
Aaron Rodgers is 37-18 against the spread. Also, again, probably took a hit.
And then Aaron Rodgers, 4-1 against the spread as a home underdog. So I'm definitely going to take the Packers on this because I feel like this is Mike McCarthy revenge game, and Mike McCarthy is going to show up, and he's going to do the very definition of too much.
Yeah, if you try too hard and you're Mike McCarthy, it will be detrimental to everything you want to do. Mike McCarthy is a great head coach when he's trying medium.
Yeah. When he's doing just enough to get by.
When he's just in a constant state of miffed. He's kind of miffed at everything that's going on around him.
He's a little bit confused. Yeah, miffediffed perturbed yeah aloof when he's really dialed in if you give mike mccart i wonder what his stats are like off a bye week too because i feel like if you give him too much time to cook something up he really gets in his own head he starts breaking out all the tricks but not the good tricks like the watermelon he no he probably spent the entire bye week uh trying to understand the PFF grades grades and then based all his game plan on that well no he what he did because he is an analytics guy big time he probably went to every single page that is clickable on pro football focus until the pop-up came up that said like you have to pay 899 for the subscription uh subscription and then he just went to the next page so he he read the first article he read the first first paragraph of every article.
Yeah, first paragraph of every article on Pro Football Focus this week. So that's the game plan the Cowboys are going to bring.
That's the game plan, and I feel like Aaron Rodgers, this is a great situation for Aaron Rodgers. It really is like nobody believes in him.
No. I saw that our friend Aaron Nagler put out the theory last night that Aaron Rodgers sucks ever since we interviewed him.
Yeah. And he thinks that you poisoned him.
That would be a shame.

It would be a real shame. It would be a real shame.

I think maybe we just... Whoops.

I think we poisoned his brain with truth.

Yeah. And I text

with Aaron Nagler

whenever the Packers are doing poorly

and it's just...

We got a long way to go, but it's just

nice to know that Packers fans are legitimately

afraid of Justin Fields. Yeah.
Because they have never been afraid of a Bears quarterback. Embrace this feeling.
Embrace this feeling. So, yeah, I guess this was a very long way of saying that Hank is a fucking idiot.
Yeah. And now the Cowboys are probably going to win by 20 because we're also idiots.
It's the idiot off. Max, your favorite favorite.
Eagles minus 11. Whoa.
All right.

Shocker.

Disrespect.

That's the command.

Are you worried at all?

Are you still doing that?

Are we doing that?

It's a Phillies thing.

It's a Phillies thing.

It's football season. Said?

No?

No more said?

No, basketball season started.

Yeah.

Did you see Embiid?

Yeah.

Embiid said this.

He literally said it was football and baseball season.

And then the day after the Phillies loss, he's like, the Phillies are over. Now it's basketball season.
Oh, okay. So James Harden hasn't played yet.
Yeah. We're not.
Yeah. He hasn't played in basketball season yet.
He was doing preseason. He's in the gym right now.
Yeah. Working hard.
What's his injury again? Oblique? It doesn't matter. What is his injury? No, he's got a foot.
Is it his foot? Yeah, he's got like a mild foot sprain.

Yeah.

I think he's just got gout.

He's just got a little Charlie horse.

He'll be fine.

He'll be fine.

He's like, oh, Christmas, Thanksgiving coming up, Charlie horse time.

No, he's got a nasty case of being locked inside the gold club.

Okay.

You think that James Harden's going to come back for his first game still with glitter on his body?

Yes, definitely. Glitter and just a lot of perfume.
Like, whoa, where have you been, dude? Maybe even he catches the ball and there's like Vaseline on his hands. Jesus Christ.
Max, I was looking at this game. Are you a little worried about the fact that just in principle, taking division rivals with a lot of points is a good strategy.
My theory is they're basically coming off a little mini-buy right now. I love that people call it the mini-buy.
It's almost a double mini-buy. Yeah, because it's Thursday to Monday.
Thursday to Monday night. So, I mean, they're going to be well-rested.
Nick Sirianni needs to be well-rested. His eyes, there's a problem.
He had huge bags under his eyes. He looked like he hadn't slept in weeks.
I think he was just watching too many Phillies home runs. Good.
Good. I want all my teams.
Well, one of them, the Phillies, they got eliminated. Whatever.
And also the Union, they lost. Remember that? Yeah, same day, actually.
Hank was really happy. Never been done.
Latest goal in MLS history. But yeah, no.
History. History.
The Texans game, people were starting to doubt. They're starting to do the whole, oh, they don't play anyone good.
They were tight with the Texans for a while. I think this is a stomp on their face.
Yeah, I honestly do think that the Commanders franchise has been on the receiving end of a lot of these types of statement games over the history. I remember the Mike Vick Monday night game.
Anytime I see these two teams play on Monday night, it just gives me flashbacks to when Mike Vick broke every single record in football history. Chip Kelly changed the NFL.
That one game, he changed the NFL. Remember, everyone's like, the game will never be the same.
I remember Deshaun Jackson getting about three steps on Leron Landry, catching a 50-yard pass, and then turning around and sprinting to the end zone backwards while laughing at Leron Landry trying to catch him. And the most Deshaun Jackson move of all time.
Jeremy Macklin went off, I'm pretty sure. It was bad.
It was one of those games that makes you reexamine your entire life. So I have flashbacks going into this game.
I don't think that Max is in a bad place, though, taking the Eagles and the points on this one. I think if you look at the levels of disarray that a franchise can possibly be in, I would say with the federal investigation and the D.C.
investigation and the Virginia investigation and Jeff Bezos buying the team, I'd say that this is about as disarray as the team can be. How about the statement they put out last night? Yeah.
Yeah. Well, that's as bad as it was.
It was pretty bad where Dan Snyder essentially said maybe instead of focusing on all the financial fraud that we've done over the last 30 years, how about you pay more attention to our running back that got shot two months ago? I kind of like it. Dan Snyder's got big time, like last week of school vibes going now, where he's like, you know what? Fuck it.
I'm just going to say some shit. Yeah.
And then like, everyone knew I was a scumbag behind the scenes. Let me just do it out in front of everyone.
He's got senioritis. He's got Snyderitis.
He's coming for you this week. It's going to be bad bad and the I think the team can put out like they can tune out a lot of the stuff that's going on because Rivera is pretty good at that sort of thing which is just saying like okay uh we're in we're inside of a hurricane right now let's just stay in the basement for a while and all we got is each other but now it's like your owner is being like don't investigate me for for felonies because this guy got shot.
Remember that? Remember when he got shot everywhere? And so I think at this point, the walls are closing in on just about everybody. So I expect, I would not be shocked to see a blowout.
I might go to this game, though. Oh, okay.
I mean, I haven't been to a Commanders game in a while. It'd be nice to see him play in a decent field.
Yeah, the craziest part about the Eagles is people are are going to complain about their schedule and it doesn't get any harder they just don't they have the 27th ranked uh strength of schedule left play you play play who you play stomp on the bad teams play who you play you you do have to be though a little worried and i am too but like the eagles let's just say they go uh-2. And everyone's like they never played anyone.
And then they lose in the first round. It's like the whole season just became a joke.
That happens every year. I know.
There's always the team that, like, has a great record. And it's like, oh, they haven't played anyone.
But they're stomping on it. I know.
I agree. I like the Eagles a lot.
But, you know, it's hard to fight against. It's narrative.
It's all media narrative. Yeah, it's all this fake stuff that we're putting out.
It's all bullshit. Okay, PFT, your favorite favorite.
My favorite favorite, I'm also taking the Rams. I'm taking John Wolford, baby.
Let's ride. No, wait.
Hank has the Cowboys. Oh, yeah.
So just me. So, yeah, we've successfully bullied Hank off of the John Wolford game.
Yeah. Although it might be Stafford.
Who knows? And it might be Stafford, and it doesn't really matter either way because McVay owns Cliff Kingsbury. That's what this bet really is.
Yeah. He owns the Cardinals in general.
He's 11-1 straight up and 10-1-1 against the Cardinals against the spread. I think Buda Baker's out.
I think we have the Hard Knocks coming up soon. I'm so bummed out that it's the Cardinals, though.
But I kind of want to watch how bad it looks from the inside.

I think it's going to be boring bad because they have final cut, I'm pretty sure, over everything.

Even the commercials that they put out for it, it's like DeAndre Hopkins standing on a stepstool and doing calf raises on it.

Yeah.

They're just boring.

I think they're just boring bad.

This is a bet, though, on McVay over Kingsbury.

Although the Kyler Murray stat about it being Veterans Day weekend yeah that does make me that does that does hurt you a little um okay i'm going back to the well you're going with the bucks i'm going with the bucks minus two and a half i thought about i considered the bucks okay so here's like multiple times on sunday you're taking the seahawks yeah i did i did and then i started it more, and I think the Seahawks are good, but I do think Antoine Winfield I think is back for the Bucs. The Bucs, it's never a bet on Tom Brady.
You're relapsing. It's a bet on their defense.
I still think their defense is very good. I think their defense gave the Seahawks a lot of problems.
This is the one thing that makes me nervous. Do you know that Tom Brady against the spread versus Geno Smith in his career is 0-4? No, I didn't know that.
The only quarterback he's worse against is Eli Manning, 0-5. That's wild.
It's wild. So it's 2013.
The Patriots beat the Jets 13-10. Geno beat the Patriots 30-27.
And then in 2014, the Jets lost by two and lost by one to the Patriots. So every game that he's played against Tom Brady, Geno Smith has been within three points.
So Geno Smith is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now against the Blitz, and that's the only way that the Bucs can get to Geno Smith. That's how they're getting to the quarterback.
The thing I kind of say is in your favor is that time zones work with you this weekend. This is the biggest time zone game of the year.
So the Seahawks are going to be playing at 6.30 in the morning, Seattle time. Correct.
Which is just, it's wild. And the Bucs, it's not that much better for the Bucs, but at least it's not 6.30 in the morning.
And if you look at the stats when they're playing over in England, West Coast teams stink in England because of that very thing. This is like England times two.
I also think it's going to be a home crowd for Tom Brady because he is like, I think Giselle's family, Giselle's family. And also just Tom Brady is the one star that I would say most of the world knows about, right? It was crazy.

Did you guys see that there was 3 million ticket requests for this game?

No.

3 million ticket requests.

The stadium, I think, holds like 80,000 people.

So everyone in Munich wanted to go to the game.

Do you think Arians was coming back?

They must have.

They must be like, you're going to hammer this.

I'm going to have to be on a pitch down here.

Do you think I can make it the entire weekend without making a World War II joke about this?

No, no.

You've got to just go off.

That's going to be your Sunday tweet.

This is your tweet of the year game.

What if I just didn't do any?

You can't help yourself.

I didn't say anything about the Blitz earlier.

I could have.

Yeah, that's true.

Well, no, you did.

You said Geno Smith versus the Blitz.

No, but I didn't make a joke.

I was giving an actual stat. Just let me have one.
No, yeah, go for it. I'm have.
Yeah, that's true. Well, no, you did.
You said Geno Smith versus Blitz. No, but I didn't make a joke out of it.
I was giving an actual stat. Just let me have one.
No, yeah, go for it. I'm saying, yeah.
Okay. You got to go for it.
Giselle, Bruce. Yeah.
Yeah. All of it.
Everything. This is also a flat earth game for Geno Smith because he's also one of the original flat earther athletes.
People forget that. And so he's going to see with empirical evidence that the earth is not flat by flying all the way over to Germany.
Yep. So he might just have his mind blown the entire time.
All right. So my other non-football related reasons for taking the box.
This is Tom Brady would be the first NFL player to play in four different countries. So he's played twice in England, once in Mexico, U.S., and this would be germany wouldn't it be like when when you envision close your eyes when tom brady does retire in five years there's going to be like that stat only player in the nfl to win in four different countries yeah mr international yeah right there's some bullshit thing where it's like well he was the only player to ever play in four different countries but whatever and then this is actually the first time in tom brady's career he's playing uh before 1 p.m eastern so he's never played the the times that he played in england were remember like back in the day they used to play him regular one o'clock so he's never played at 9 30 in the morning eastern time so he's going to also be like the king of time zones but that's great for old people yeah people get up early.
If you ever go to a golf course, if you find yourself at a golf course at like 6.15 a.m., there are guys like making the turn that are coming back home, like old retired dudes. Yeah.
So this is the opposite of when he has a late night game. Yes.
He forgets how many timeouts there are. Brady might be dialed in for this one.
Yeah. So there's a lot of non-football relatedrelated reasons for my handicapping in this game, and also I'm addicted to the Bucs possibly having a very good defense.
Another non-football-related reason for this game being kind of maybe in favor of Tom Brady a little bit is that I just get the vibe from divorced people in general that going on a vacation is good for you. Yeah.
Like getting out of your normal area, seeing new things for the first time, traveling. Stella got her groove back.
This is Tom Brady. This is the equivalent of Vivica A.
Fox going to the Caribbean. Is Tom Brady going to Germany? He's 1-0 after announcing his divorce.
There you go. That's a fact.
He is 1-0. And, you know, our good friend, colleague, Deion Sanders has said he's two times been divorced, and he's like, after, it's pretty awesome.
So maybe he's just feeling great again. New lease on life.
A divorce party weekend in Germany? Yeah. Isn't it? Oh, no, it's not October anymore.
No, but this is Oktoberfest. Yeah, that's right.
That's right, for Jake's. Yeah, I hope he takes it.
All right, so I have Bucks minus two and a half.

Billy, your favorite favorite.

Giants by four and a half against the Texans.

That's why you brought up the Giants.

This one's really obvious to me.

I was wondering.

I was like, why are you bringing up the Giants?

It's just like Houston, bad, Giants, good.

Okay.

Yeah.

No, that checks out.

Very right.

Right?

You are absolutely right with that analysis.

I'm trying to be a lot simpler with the picks. Yeah.
Giants buy. Texans mini buy.
Giants home. Texans away.
Giants home. Giants good.
Giants good home. Texans bad.
Texans bad. Texans road away.
Yeah. Boom.
Okay. Do you know the under in Giants games, home games, are 15-1 in the last 16? That's crazy.
15-1 in the last 16. That's why I don't love the Giants, just because I feel like it's going to be a very low-scoring, gross game.
It's starting to get into the season where the Giants play those really cold but very sunny home games in the Meadowlands. Yep, yep, and it's like a 16 to 13 type of game.

Yeah, like really, really bright sun, 30 degrees, windy, sucks.

Everybody there is pissed off.

Big day for Saquon, though.

Giants score.

The other thing I feel like the Giants do is they score on the opening drive,

and then their next points don't come until a field goal

with two minutes left in the third quarter. A lot of rushing yards.
A lot of rushing yards. Oh, a little tease from Mount Rushmore.
Okay. Jake.
I'm going home here. I'm going Dolphins minus 3.5 against the Browns.
Dolphins may have said it before. They're undefeated with Tua.
Browns, they're the biggest roller coaster this season, I feel like. They are.
It is a Jacoby Brissett revenge game. It is.
Big one. It's also the Browns' defense sucks ass, but they're 14th against the pass.
So they're not that bad against the pass. And I don't know.
I get the feeling like this is going to be – Stefanski's going to figure it out and just we're going to run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, try to limit how many points. Whose Chubb is better? Yeah.
Oh. No, I know.
Yeah, whose Chubb is better? You know that this is docking. Bradley got his first career tackle against Nick when he was a rookie in Denver.
They're cousins, obviously. And I went back and I looked.
I think everyone knows this, but the story about Chubb Town is like all time.

The town that their family created in Georgia during the Civil War as an independent.

It was African Americans during the Civil War, and they were left alone because they were completely independent of everyone else.

And probably because they would just kick the shit out of you. They were Chubbs, and if you showed up, they'd tackle you.
Yeah, and also I was reading the story again, and it was Bradley, I guess when he was in high school, everyone, his coach was like, hey, do you see this kid who's just killing everyone in this four towns over, Nick? And Bradley went home and was like, do we know this person? He has the same last name. He's like, yeah, that's your cousin.
That's crazy. Yeah.
And they're both awesome, awesome football players. Is Chubbtown still a thing? I think so.
I think Chubbtown might still exist in Georgia. Chubbtown's probably the toughest place on earth.

Okay, Hank, let's go some underdogs.

All of them.

There are so many that look good.

There is a lot.

Hungry Dog Parlay, this is the week.

It's going to hit.

Are you guaranteeing this?

I'm guaranteeing I'm going to try my best. Okay, that's admirable one of them will hit this week okay guaranteed personal guarantee at least one of them will hit yeah what what happens if none of them hit cut off a pinky the next week i i will i'll i'll just make it money i'll be so distraught from not being so bad that i will do points.
You'll double guarantee next week. Okay, all right, good.
I'll go away from the money line and just go to points because we've got to get a win for the people. But we're going three for three.
Starting with the Detroit Lions, Jared Goff just came on this show. PMT bump.
Justin Fields is good. I'm just worried about his running.
He might get hurt. Takes big hits I think this game Every single game with the Lions They're in the game My only concern I think this game is going to come down to the end My only concern is a field goal where it's tied But I could see this Either team winning As the clock expires with a field goal I just hope it's not a tie game field goal I hope it it's like, you know, Lions down two.
Somehow they're in the lead. They don't win, but the Bears hit a field goal.
It's the worst case scenario. I could definitely see the Bears kicking a field goal at the last second.
Or the Lions. Or the Lions.
Beating the Lions in heartbreaking fashion. And the Lions really wishing that they had won this game because they just try to win every game.
Yeah. And Bears being like, fuck, we, I can't believe we won this game.

That sucks.

Yeah.

No, it's a coin flip game.

It is going to be cold.

Are you a little nervous about that?

No.

Jared and the weather indoor cat.

Okay.

Cali boy.

Okay.

He's a Detroit guy.

That's true.

He is Detroit.

What else is in the hungry dog?

Keep going.

All right.

Okay.

We'll keep going.

And you can tell us if there's something in the hungry dog match,

your favorite underdog.

This one's a little risky, but I'll take Vikings plus three and a half. I'm thinking that Josh probably won't play.
Case Keenum revenge game. Yeah.
Yeah, sure. I'll be honest.
I went through the thing. I have seven.
I have seven. Seven.
Seven? I need to narrow it down. Seven? So I'm open to suggestions.
All right. Yeah, this game, I hope Josh Allen plays.
It feels like he's – I don't – It feels like he isn't? I'll just give a preview because this is going to be my over. Okay.
It's my lock, and I'm so confident in this game because the way I have it broken down is mathematical. It's a mathematical almost certainty this hits.
I put it at 80% that the over hits, and here's why. It's like 50-50 that Josh Allen plays.
If Josh Allen plays in this game, over 44 is a guaranteed winner. What if he plays hurt, though? I have not factored that into my equation.
Wait, wait, wait. You're not even letting me finish my equation.
Sorry, sorry, sorry. So 50-50 he plays.
Yep. The over hits.
44 points, Josh Allen probably hits it himself. If he doesn't play Case Keenum Revenge Game, I still give that 30% chance of hitting over 44 points.
That means 80% chance. That you get it the over hits this it's you'd be a certified moron not to bet the over on this i'd agree i am worried about josh allen playing and being hurt i had i did not factor that in into my mathematical equation also just a heads up we are friends with josh allen um i had some people reach out to me being like what's the deal with josh allen one thing i will never do is text one of our friends being like how injured are you yeah like that's that's a faux pas yeah i don't think it would be cool for me to text josh be like hey you think you're starting how's the elbow dude that's probably crossing a certain line where he's like okay you're just using me for money right now yeah i had a bunch of people be like can you, can you get the inside scoop on Josh Allen? I'm like, no, I cannot.
And if we did do that, we would only use that information ourselves. Correct.
And we would not put that out. Correct.
All right, so the over side, because we'll get to that. What is your favorite underdog? My favorite underdog is I'm going to take Green Bay at home against the Cowboys.
And I could have gone with Chargers Niners. I could have gone.
Well, I am personally already betting on the Colts at the Raiders.

Yep.

But I don't want that to be a double loser.

I'm putting my money on Saturday,

but I don't want to put this ongoing season-long gambling thing

we have on Saturday.

Okay, so I was thinking about that one.

I was thinking about that one.

I think I'm going to go instead.

I am going to. Five points, by the way.
Nice. I'm going to go instead.
I'm going to five points.

Nice.

I'm going to take.

No, no, this is gross.

No, you know what?

I'm not going to take that.

I was going to take the Steelers.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

And now that I'm thinking about it, I'm going to pick it alive.

Revenge game.

Yeah.

Oh, man.

Now it's funny because we started this being like, I love all the underdogs. Now i'm actually looking at it and i actually hate all the underdogs how did that happen how the fuck did that happen i'll go with the packers with pft i like the packers good bet i do i do think that that's just it's just a too many points game yeah it's too many points you can't aaron rogers what is it plus five yes this would be funny because many points this is this is one of the only opportunities we'll ever see to have Aaron Rodgers piss Big Cat off.
Double. Double.
Yeah. Well, no.
Yeah, by losing. Like, Aaron Rodgers.
No, but then I'd be happy. Aaron Rodgers could lose this game, and then Big Cat loses a lot of money on Aaron Rodgers losing the game.
No, I'd be happy if they lost. I would just love for them to lose by four.
Yeah. That would be the perfect.
So I could have a double win uh i actually can't have a double loss because if they lose by like seven i'm still happy the packers lost it's true yeah so i'm going for the double win uh billy i'm on the opposite side of the bucks seahawks two and a half okay i just you know the seahawks are doing well buccaneers have been been shaky lately. I haven't really factored in the Germany factor.
Yeah. But we haven't seen Germany wearing symbols of Raptors while concerned with blitzes since the last time there was a firing of a Reich in 1933.
That's great. That's a great one.
You read that right off the page. It took me a long time to write.
It took me a long time to write. I tried.
The Seahawks also got rid of one of their chancellors a few years ago. Oh.
Cam? Cam. He was an SS agent.
Yes. Strong safety.
Mm-hmm. There's a lot of meat on the bone.
A lot of meat on the bone. The scary thing is I'm already scraping it, too.
I feel like I'm going to shoot my load a little bit early here. By the way.
Which is kind of what their army did when they split it up into two different fronts. By the way, the Russell Wilson versus Pete Carroll back and forth is awesome now.
I wish they could schedule another game. I want them to play again because, I don't know if you guys saw it, but Pete Carroll said that Geno Smith is playing out of his mind and the communication between Geno Smith and the offensive coordinator Shane Waldron has been great.
And unlike the former Seahawks quarterbacks, he's willing to wear a play card on his wristband. And then Russell Wilson said, we won a lot of games without one on the wrist for me.
So they're just having a little... That's messy.
It's great. That's one of my favorite debates or favorite pieces of antagonism going back and forth between a player and a coach is he wears the wristband or he refuses to wear the wristband because he thinks that it makes him look dumb.
Is that why some players don't like to do it? I don't know. I would wear the wristband.
You just have the answers to the test right there on your hand. You're an idiot if you don't wear the wrist yeah it's it's similar to uh when coaches don't wear the headset remember when brady hoke used to not wear the headset and michigan was just getting killed every week it's like you couldn't look dumber if you like you're just watching this game you don't even you don't even know what they're talking about i know another leader in germany that made everybody wear a band on their arm here we go uh okay uh i am going with the Chargers plus 7 at the 49ers on Sunday Night Football.
Short trip. Too many points.
Short trip. Yeah.
Okay. It's actually pretty far away.
But for the NFL. And for all the Chargers fans, it would basically be a home game for them probably.
Short trip.

A lot of points.

And this is kind of disrespectful for a 5-3 team.

That's a lot of points.

Okay.

A lot of injuries.

Better record.

Yeah, a lot of injuries.

It is a ton of points.

And I also think that this is like people are completely out on the Chargers right now.

Yeah.

Everyone hates the Chargers.

And they still have a lot of talent.

And Niners off a bye is probably why the points are a little bit higher. Okay, short trip.
I like it. Hey, listen, I've been on the Bucs because Tom Brady, I could envision Tom Brady being the first guy to win in four different countries.
So, short trip plays. Short trip plays.
Alright, what are the other underdogs you're thinking about, Hank? The Steelers I like a lot. The Cardinals, although, I don't know.
I mean, the Colts, I feel like I had to put the Colts in. The Jeff Saturday clip is unbelievable.
Jeff Saturday doing an opening press conference and saying the word bro and man was incredible, and he was just his – hold on, I think I have the exact quote. And the – it's going to be Broncos and.
And then I'd need to figure out the third. Yeah.
So Jeff Saturday said, actually, you know, let's keep going. Cause I think I'm going to take that as my under.
All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.
Only one Reese's peanut butter lovers protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's Cookies and Cream Protein Bars is made with Hershey's Cookie Bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar. One Bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.
One also has delicious flavors like birthday cake maple glazed donut and blueberry cobbler find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com um jake has removed himself from the room i think he had to go to the bathroom we've been taping for 40 minutes lamar jakeshin 40 minutes he's got to be worried about this, right? He's just got a lot of nervous energy. I think so.
He's got... Yeah, his stomach is just in knots this week.
He's just nervous. DK Marshcalf.
Yeah. Nice.
That was nice. Can't just become a full poncho.
I guess that wouldn't even be a pun. That was just putting...
Yeah. I was just putting...
I was just smacking his name in the middle of that i just wonder if if jake is uh is he gonna do some sort of gym dance giveaway after it's over like the tie i will because i bought a basketball tie so i should okay like a tie with basketball yeah yeah you should give it away yeah whoever the the guy is that impressed you the most yeah i'm gonna do that good call i'm looking at by the way um they're doing some previews of this commanders press conference that's about to happen with DC Attorney General I think my picture is on one of the boards that's next to them because it said that commanders fans demanded accountability and there's a guy that looks like me from the chin down pointing at the sell the team shirt that I have. Jake's back.
I didn't. They didn't compensate me for this.
Hmm. You're like an ambassador, so they probably have.
Yeah, they actually probably did. It's probably in my car.
I signed away my life. Yeah.
Well, no, but it's the attorney general that's doing this, not the command. Can I see a picture? Yeah.
Jake, how you doing? Really had to pee. We've only been taping for 40 minutes.
Yeah, I've been drinking a lot of water this week. Are you getting pre-hydrated? I can tell.
I can tell. It's a lot.
It's a lot. Okay.
Overs? Yeah, this is just purely spite, revenge. I'm in that state of my game league season.
I've lost every European game this year. With the overs and unders, I went under, went over, went over, went under.

I'm taking the Oktoberfest.

Oh, nice.

It's fun to say.

Just for strictly that reason.

You could bet the other overs.

But I need to win in Europe.

You need to win in Europe.

You need to prove that you can win in Europe.

Correct.

People are starting to ask questions like, can he win in Europe? Did he puke on the blackjack table? These are the questions. Yes and no are the answers.
You can win in Europe, but you haven't done it before. Yeah, okay.
Max. Bears, Lions.
Yes. I like that one too.
Let's go. Shootout.
Bears should become an overteam. It it'd be so much so much that is cool that is a shift that at least you can you can always look forward to the games if they're gonna be over yeah 48 and a half is it i'm taking it as well i love it i love it all right uh you have yours i got vikings bills the october fest is 44 and a half 44 and a half you're gonna lose that no iucs play like every single Bucs game is 16 to 14.
I wonder how does that total compare to PFT tweets from this game? Well, over 44.5. I was going to say things tend to end in Germany in 45.
So I kind of like it. Okay.
I'm going to be in my bunker for this one. Both overs.
Billy. I'm going with Lions-Bears 48 and a half.
Okay, so that was the same as being Max. Yeah.
Okay, we're all riding on that together. Jake.
Oktoberfest. Okay.
So we've got three on Detroit-Chicago, two on Seattle-Tampa Bay, and PFT. PFT's 80% chance.
80% long. As long as Josh Allen doesn't play injured.
I don't know. I got to crunch some numbers on that one.
I don't know how that affects what happens if he just goes in and hands the ball off. Okay, unders, and then we'll do Mount Rushmore and Fantasy Fuck Boys.
I'm going with the risky Bills Vikings against PFT, kind of taking the opposite side. You don't have a 20% chance of winning.
Yeah, you do. Why would you do that to yourself? Bill's defense is really good against Kirk Cousins, and Josh, even if he is playing and he's hurt, they're probably going to be running the ball a lot.
I don't think they're going to be, let's just throw the ball 60 times if he has a fucked up arm, and I could see the Bill's defense shutting Kirk Cousins down. It does feel like a Von Miller butt-fucking Kirk Cousins type of game.
That would literally just be very tough. And if you have a fucked up arm, you have to manage that in a way that they might not play their normal style offense.
Under pressure. So the concern I would have is that and you've already seen it start to happen, is the Vikings Mickey Mouse schedule and how all of their wins have been either against backup quarterbacks or just all sorts of weird stuff.
This would be the perfect addition to that if they did beat the Bills. And Case Keenum.
And it's either Case Keenum or if it's Josh Allen with a messed up elbow. Easy excuse for you guys.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Add that to the list of like this is the only reason why you won. But they just continue to win right in our faces.
So I wouldn't be shocked. I just did the mental math.
I've now adjusted my total. If Josh Allen plays, it's a 60% chance the over hits.
65% chance the over hits. Wait, so now it's an 85% chance it hits? Because you have a 20% chance if Case Keenum plays.
And then that's 55% chance that Case Keenum wins if he plays. Got it.
So it's balanced out 60. This game now has 60% chance of the over.
I like that strategy. That's still way more than 40.
Yeah. Max.
Chargers, Niners, 45 and a half. I want it so bad, but I just keep getting burned with, I think I've decided, I think I've picked the wrong primetime over under every single game this year.
Like I've been like, oh, nice primetime unders. Then I'll bet it.
And then like the chiefs bucks game happened. And then I'll be like, oh, primetime overs.
And I just don't have anybody on offense anymore. So it's like...
Keenan Allen out. Joshua Palmer? You're not a big Joshua Palmer guy? No.
Austin Eckler? Austin Eckler. I've got this bet that I'm thinking about getting out there, the double dick.
I feel like Austin Eckler is going to double dick this shit out of the four. He might even triple dick him.
You got to get one in the barn, though. He might triple dick them.
Okay, you're under PFT. My under is Chiefs-Jaguars.
Yeah. I like it.
We're still thinking about the Chiefs as being an over team. 50 and a half.
I don't know if the Jaguars have ever been involved in a 50-plus game. The Chiefs terms of over-under.
The Steeler game. Oh, yeah, yeah.
I was going to say the Steeler playoff game. The Chiefs are not, in fact, an overs team.
I think they're, what, two and five? And they also aren't a cover big spreads team. Yeah.
Every time they're favored by more than, like, a touchdown, I feel like they never cover. So I just feel like Etienne and his duck foot are going to run the ball, run the ball, run the ball.
And I think that, you know, Tyreek Hill leaving and leaving and going to the dolphins has turned a lot of these 65 yard touchdowns into like 35 yard gains to me cool hard yes which then in turns eat you know it eats up way more of the clock yes and i just think we need to as a nation like shake ourselves of the of the vibe that the chiefs are an over team. Yes, yes, I'd agree.

This is also a weird uniform matchup game.

I'm just seeing the Chiefs in their reds and then the Jaguars just,

I don't know.

This game will probably be on.

We'll have this on.

We have to figure out.

I think Texans-Giants maybe doesn't go on.

Giants fans will be upset.

Yeah, we'll have to figure out what game gets booted. Okay, my under is going to be Colts versus Raiders.
Also my under. Against your guy.
Three offensive coordinators in three games. That's not good for offense.
So it's under 42 and a half. And there's a couple reasons why.
One, the Colts are, from everything Jeff Saturday said, I think they're just going to try to kick field goals and run the ball because he said it's hard. I was an offensive lineman, bro.
It was hard for us to score. So we're going to take the points.
Jeff Saturday, in his opening press conference, said the word bro and man multiple times. He said, it's me, dude.
I ain't going to change. I told him if I'm not authentic, bro, we got nowhere to go.
But this is. It's who I am.
He also said, here's the deal. Everybody talks about my inexperience.
I'm completely comfortable in who I am as a man. I know I can lead men.
I know the game of football, and I'm passionate about it. Bro, I spent 14 years in a locker room.
I went to the playoffs 12 times. I got five dudes in the Hall of Fame that played with me.
You don't think I've seen greatness? You don't think I've seen how people prepare, how they can coach, how they can manage, how they work? I mean, I won a Super Bowl. Bend it, too.
Here's the deal, man. None of us are promised a good job.
I may be terrible at this. After eight games, I'll say, God bless you, I'm no good.
I may be really good at it. I've got no idea, but I dang sure ain't going to back down.
I mean, it didn't make me more confident. Oh, it did for me.
I was just like, you know what? He was honest. He just said bro and man a lot, and he was like, I might suck.
I might be good. I might win.
I might lose. Whatever.
Yeah, no, it definitely made me more confident because he was out there. He was saying, bro, man, Jeff Saturday is for the boys.
Dude. Dude.
He's like Dan Campbell mixed with Billy Mays. Yeah.
And a touch of Billy football. And a little bit of Billy football.
But mostly if you look at Campbell. Not the accountability part.
And Billy Mays. You squish them together.
You get Jeff Saturday. And you have to ride with Jeff for a little bit.
Oh, yeah. Let's see what he's got here.
The dude has found himself in a situation that he could have never possibly imagined himself being in. And now it's just a matter of seeing if somebody who's supremely unqualified for a head coaching job can just will and effort their way into making it work.
And that's what you want in an interim coach anyways. It's just like make people play hard.
Yeah, that's exactly right. So, yeah, I'm taking the under in this game.
I think he's going to just try to kick field goals and run the ball. Josh McDaniel's revenge game too.
Josh McDaniel's revenge game. His brief time as the head coach that was just floated out there.
And then the Colts, by the way weird stat from the colts they're 0 and 9 versus her first half spread oh yeah that's pretty crazy yeah they suck but now we can't but now we don't know because they might be different with jeff saturday this might be a situation too where we see uh fake field goals fake punts onside kick from jeff saturday because he's gonna he's to be eager to try all this weird shit out in the game. Bro.
Bro. Okay, you're under Jake.
I'm with you guys. Okay.
Under 42 and a half. Also, for Boomers, how was your Jeff Saturday? Oh, nice.
I like that. Okay.
Saturday on Sunday shirts. Saturday on Sunday.
Go buy them now. All right.
Other games we missed.

The Broncos are playing the Titans.

That game is going to suck.

Broncos money line.

Yeah.

Okay.

Titans quarter.

I mean, the Titans should have won that game last week.

They just, you know, the quarterback.

Titans are bad in these types of games.

Games that people expect them to win.

Yeah.

Yeah. The Titans, by the way, also are the first team since 2005 Steelers to win five of their first eight games while averaging fewer than 22 pass attempts a game.
Throwback. A throwback team.
Yeah, I like it. Let's see.
What other games do we have? Saints-Steelers. Saints-Steelers.
So I've given you the Panthers stat. The teams that have played the Panthers have not won after playing the Panthers.
There's a reverse on the Ravens. The teams that played the Ravens, the next week they're 7-0-1 against the spread.
So the Saints played the Ravens last week. So if you want to follow that dumb stat, go for it.
Because they're just thankful to not have a quarterback like Lamar Jackson at their time. Correct.
So I like the Saints here because we all forget, you know, Kirk Cousins, we do talk about him in primetime a lot. Andy Dalton kind of gets a pass on that.
Because Andy Dalton is 6-16 in those reverse vampire games where he just disappears after the sun goes down. And also TJ Watt is returning for this game.
Yes. TJ Watt's coming back.
That's what makes me nervous about the Andy Dalton thing. I do like Andy Dalton.
I am betting on the Saints, but TJ coming back with and without TJ Watt. With Watt, they're 52-24-2.
Without Watt, what are they, 0-7 now? Yeah. No, no, they beat the Bucs.
That's right, yeah. They beat's right yeah they beat the box so they're like one and seven yep their sacks per game go from 3.5 down to 1.6 sacks per game and right now i didn't realize this tj watt is seven and a half sacks away from the all-time stealer record wow a team that has had some pretty good defenses didn't he have did he have like five sacks in the first game? No, he had one.
Oh, I thought he had more because oh, that's just Jerry getting my ear. He's like TJ Watts going to have the most sacks by the end of the year.
I think he had a bunch of hits. Yeah.
I think he only had one in that first game. So that yeah that game will be I don't know I just always Mike Tomlin is a dog he just just, he's a dog.
He's truly a dog.

He had one sack in that game against the Bengals.

It was an impressive sack.

It was a very impressive sack.

Important sack.

Okay, should we do some fancy fuckboys and we'll get to John Anik?

Oh, Mount Rushmore.

Let's do that real quick.

Saquon.

Saquon.

I will do pass.

Someone else figure out what they want.

Austin Eckler.

Okay, Austin Eckler. And a bonus triple dicking on top of it.
He's going to score three touchdowns. Triple-dicking, Austin Eckler.
I was going to pick Kenneth Walker, but... What about Justin Fields? He's not playing...
Oh, I'll take... Good point, Andy.
Yeah, let's do Justin Fields. Good call.
Justin Fields. The crazy thing is I don't even think the odds are going to be that good on Justin Fields.
No, they probably won't. I think last week he was like 54 or something.
So, yeah, they probably won't. What do you got? Oh, the team Jilly left.
Chubb off. The Chubb off? So you're taking Nick Chubb? Not Bradley, yes.
Okay. That would be crazy.
That would be crazy. Yeah, plus 50,000.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I mean, Hank bet Derek Watt to score a touchdown. So.
That was close. So close.
15 games off. Yeah.
All right. Fancy fuck boys.
And we'll get to John Anik. What's up, motherfucker? What's up? What up, bitch? What up? Noli, ravioli, fastoli.
A, C, R, F. My stardom is Nick Cannon.
Nick Cannon.

Another kid?

Wilding out.

He's having another kid.

No fucking way.

My stardom, his sperm is fucking put him on the front lines.

He's converting every time.

His hit rate's unbelievable.

Yeah.

Tiny little fullbacks with tails.

My sit-em, Bitcoin.

Oh, me too.

All my coins are falling apart. Cryptos and shambles.
FTX is just a fucking Ponzi scheme. Oh, me too.
All my coins are falling apart.

Cryptos and shambles.

FTX is just a fucking Ponzi scheme.

Oh, my ape's gone.

This is why we only do cash.

And my sleeper is NBA City jerseys.

Oh, shit.

A bunch of them released.

The Hornets just says CLT.

That's a bonk waiting to happen.

Yeah.

Too many jerseys. Too many, too many.
Find that guy at the top of the arc. You know what I'm saying? That's it.

I'm the guy that you don't know that I've got nipple rings, but I got nipple rings. Hell yes.
I'm starting chicken wings this weekend. You know, chicken wings.
I haven't really eaten chicken wings yet this fall. You know, I've had some chicken wings, but I haven't really gone out for wings.
Hell yes. Which is going to get some.
It's the difference between going out for wings and just eating chicken wings. Plan your whole day around.
I'm eating some chicken wings on Saturday. Yeah.
That's what I'm going to do. I'm sitting the hangover, the brutal hangover that I'm going to come back with on Sunday.
Grow up. Grow up.
Or throw up like I keep drinking. I'm not throwing up anywhere.
I'm not going to throw up. No Sambuca.
I'm not going to throw up. I'm going to be smoking cigs inside.
I'm going to be drinking some Jell-O shots. Not going to be throwing up this weekend.
Yeah. And then my sleeper this weekend is a very important sleeper because I'm going to, again, say that Austin Eckman's going triple dick the shit out of him.
Three dicks. Airtight.
The Niners are going to be airtight. Triple dick.
Let's go. Alright, what's up, guys? What up, fuckheads? Hey.
My name's Giancarlo Ravioli. Hey.

Lorne Boebert.

Boebert.

Yeah.

Basically saying, hey, if you need a shoulder to cry on, hit the DMs, I'll dick you down.

Lenny Dykstra, the consummate gentleman.

Yeah, oh yeah, you got to. Nice flavor.
Redman beat Redway. Hell yeah.
Make it nice and wet for him. Nice on your period.
Yeah, you need some cranberry juice? Yeah, sit him. Elon Musk.
This dude's just fucking everything up. It's fucking chaos in the streets.
Everyone got a check mark no idea what's going on it is a he's basically just the richest troll of all time salute i respect it yeah salute and then my sleeper is larry david you said uh uh ftx in bitcoin no my sleeper is larry dav David because he did an FTX ad. He got that

bag, Super Bowl ad, a couple

years ago, and he was like, I'm not investing.

And he's like, I'm never wrong about these things. That was supposed to be the joke.
And it ended up being that he was never wrong. Slow zoom in.
funny guy

I know a guy who told me. What do you mean funny? Funny how? Funny guys.
Like a clown? Yeah, funny like a clown. Yeah, what you gonna do? Funny guy.
Alright, do it. Alright, alright.
It's Capo Cuomo. It's Capo Cuomo.
My stardom is bum fights. We got more bum fights coming up coming up.
We got Andrew Tate, probably going to fight Jake Paul soon. Love bumfights.
Used to do bumfights behind the place back in the day in the parking lot. It was a great time.
Used to throw cash in on this Bitcoin. Great time.
My sit-em, verified Twitter. Sucks.
Too many people verified. Can just pay for it.
It's pay to play. How we like it, but it's Twitter.
And my sleeper is arson. Arson sneaks up on you.
Usually your fires are done by people you and your brothers know. Arson, sit them, mass of fires.
A lot of firefighters are actually arsonists. It's not arson.
It's just, you know, the- 70%. The restaurant that I invested in heavily had a tragic accident.
It's not like squares and rectangles. Not every firefighter is an arsonist.
But there's a lot of arsonists that are firefighters. Love it.
Just saying. All right.
Fantasy fuckboys. Taking it to John Anik.
Good job, everyone. I'd also like to put my hand up and say that it looks like it might actually be Nate in the picture.
Oh. Of him pointing his shoulder to it.
And I know that just you guys look exactly like it's just it's just like the tits part of it and then nate just tweet out i don't get credit for anything so i wanted to make sure that nate got credit you got dog because it's his shirt congratulations nate uh all right let's go let's talk to john annick our good friends from ufc some meatball molly in studio. Hey, it's Rhea from Tricks in the Office.

It's officially mini-skort season, and Abercrombie has the ones to go out in.

Their Scarlet Mini is a classic.

It's one of those skirts that fits the outfit vibe for any plans.

And I'm excited to style their new Sienna skort.

It's a little more flirty, and it's perfect for a date night.

Make plans to go out in Abercrombie.

Shop their newest arrivals in-store and store and online now here's John Anik okay we now welcome on our very good friend long time recurring guest has a recurring guest t-shirt that he just told us about it is John Anik you probably tell from that laugh it's John Anik the voice can probably tell from that laugh. It's John Anik, the voice of UFC.
UFC 281 tomorrow, Madison Square Garden. Our girl Meatball Molly fighting in it.
Yes. We're calling it.
I mean, let's start there because Meatball Molly, like, just pump us up. Because I'm going to be there.
I think I'm sitting ringside, which I'm a little nervous because if she doesn't win, that's going to suck. So she's going to win, right? Well, you've seen that betting line, I'd imagine.
Well, you always know the gambling line. That's why I love you.
That's why I love you. Erin Blanchfield, her opponent was born in 1999.
That probably makes you feel pretty old. Is like minus 380 right now.
Oh, no. Molly's up against it, at least as far as the grappling is concerned.
But she was actually with the Barstool family, Dave Portnoy and others when she got the call. What do you do in November 12th, Madison Square Garden? And I will tell you guys, like there was a time Molly McCann was three and three in the UFC.
She's now six and three. She's won three in a row.
Like she has found herself, whether it's a mental thing or an emotional thing. I don't know.
You know, she's far better equipped to win this fight now against Aaron Blanchfield, who's like all the rage than she was a few years ago. But it's great to be here with you boys in studio.
I was on episode three of Pardon My Take. Episode three.
I think that might have been the first episode where we stopped with the air horns and all the crazy sound effects. So you could make the argument like that's the original episode as it stands right now.
There you go. I'll take it.
But this is my first time in studio with you boys. And obviously we get excited when PMT starts talking UFC.
Yeah, and by the way, congratulations. You just re-signed with UFC, correct? Thank you, buddy.
Got my agent, Gideon Cohen, in the barstool building with me today. And yeah, it's been 11 years, which is pretty wild.
I remember in 2011, I was in Bristol, Connecticut at ESPN, and it took me a while to get out of Boston to get to Bristol and then sort of had a UFC opportunity that was unique in so far as I was going to get 20 play-by-play opportunities right it was hard for me to get football games at ESPN I'd get like one a season you're not going to get any better but I just felt like this was the right wagon to sort of hitch myself and it would feel so awkward to me if I was at home and I heard like your voice on a football game yeah like like-12 football game on a Saturday. I'd be like, that doesn't work for me.
Does your agent get mad when you get introduced as being the voice of the UFC? Because on one hand, it means you're important to the UFC. But on the other, does that limit the competition that's out there bidding for you? Well, I'm actually a full-time UFC employee, but there was an opportunity in 2015 to call like a national football game on FS1.
It was Arizona at Washington back when Chris Peterson was coaching the Huskies. Now I'll tell you guys, like I'm an NFL guy, right? But at the time I got that call from my age and I couldn't name 10 college football players, right? I literally locked myself in my bedroom and you know, just tried to lean into my strengths.
And I, it was just so amazing being in a college football atmosphere like that. So I would like to scratch that itch again at some point, if not, you know, the NFL, but first things first, we got to, yeah, I mean, I would say it's pretty cool to be like synonymous with a sport that is just like exploded in popularity because you just think about it, you close your eyes and you're like, John Anik incredible moments.
That's got to be very cool because that happens. You can think about Al Michaels calling big football moments or Brent Musburger doing college football.
UFC, you are UFC. Well, thank you, buddy.
And vice versa. Well, it means a lot to hear you say that, of course, and I've just kind of, as trite as it sounds, tried to just keep my head down.
I got hired, I was the number two guy. Now, I never would have left ESPN if I didn't think I could ascend and work with Joe Rogan and be that number one guy on pay-per-view.
But, you know, Dana White can be a hard guy to root for. And, like, I have a clause in my contract.
Sorry, Gideon, but, like, they can fire me without cause at any time, essentially, right? And I got to earn that seat Saturday night. You know, I know that sounds like, come on, dude, they're going to keep you.
You just signed you you just signed a new deal but you have to you have no choice right i feel like the call that you had in the leon edwards fight probably went a long way that was like your signature call would you say yeah you saw the future in that moment yeah everyone else doubted you do you want to walk us through that moment and and and what you saw that everybody else missed well i think i had some good fortune but you guys are very. But no, essentially, Leon Edwards had lost the first 23 minutes of the fight.
And it was a listless performance, and he was lacking urgency. He didn't seem desperate enough.
And he had been waiting for this championship opportunity for a long time. So the narrative at times during the broadcast became, oh, I don't know if he's trying to go the distance and get to this moral victory.
You know, our coach, Dean Thomas, who works as an analyst on our broadcast, said, I don't't know if he's chasing a moral victory and that narrative got brought up again late in the fight and i was just tired of hearing it i think at that point in time so i said yeah but that's not the cloth from which he is cut and then literally three seconds later he lands the head kick and the most special moment for me was a few weeks thereafter when i ran into leon and the man's never hugged me tighter and was like he's not cut from that you know? So at the forefront of my mind all the time is that like, this is the soundtrack of, of their professional lives and their family is watching this. You better not fucking butcher their names.
Right. It's like, so I take it pretty seriously at times.
Maybe I take it too seriously, but, uh, yeah, it's cool to be sort of the voice of a sport for lack of a better way to put it. And obviously our sport is global, so it's unique as that's concerned you know most of my instagram followers probably are not in the u.s you know come from brazil john annick yeah but when you grow up yeah but when you grow up in boston right as a mainstream sports fan you know i don't know that that that nfl poll is ever going to go away now i may never realize that opportunity i haven't caught a football game now as i sit here with you guys in seven years and i'm'm probably not going to be there first call, but I'd be lying.
If I said, you know, 10 years from now, there wouldn't be some regret if I don't grace an NFL booth at some point. You should have, I should start texting you what my picks are because I had a Usman to finish a money line parlay.
So that's really when you should have known that, uh, Leon Edwards still had a chance because watching that, I mean you, it was an incredible call. But in the moment, I remember you being like, Leon Edwards is not done, watch out.
And I was like, shut up, John. Shut the fuck up.
Let's just end this fight right now. Yeah.
Well, I'm contractually prevented from betting on mixed martial arts, which you guys will probably not be surprised to hear that. Now, when I first got hired, I couldn't bet on the UFC.
Now, the document says you can't bet on the UFC. You can't bet on mixed martial arts.
You can't even bet on boxing. Really? I might have to violate that part of the contract.
Yeah. Your agent is not happy with that.
To have you locked in on all the props, and you do know what the odds are. You always know the odds.
I love that. To you not even be able to bet on it but still know that, that's a level of professionalism I would not be able to aspire to.
Well, thank you, buddy. I don't know how I would do if I was allowed to bet on MMA, right? And obviously we have inside information.
Certainly I sat down with Molly McCann today in our fighter meeting, and I have insight that maybe isn't necessarily out there. Yeah, you want to share some of that? We'll cut this part out.
We'll cut this. But, yeah, I just don't know that I would realize a lot of success betting that sport, even if I was removed from it.
But your knowledge of gambling, because you are a gambling guy, and, like, being able to say the lines, know exactly when, because that is the future of broadcasting. It always drove me nuts when it's like, hey, if guys, if we're watching a Monday Night Football game, it's a blowout like talk about it because guess why i'm still watching like and so your your ability to to weave that in is very important i we're sucking your dick a little too much right now but um there are a lot of people like you know the internet is a mean place yeah most people have haters you have none well how is that how is that possible what are you doing there was a time when my no there was a time when my public approval rating was actually pretty low i mean i was getting death threats in lemore california after my first show i mean there have been growing pains to be sure and still got to earn it right i mean there's certainly an avalanche of hate uh at times when you get off the air depending on how the fight card plays out and if a segment of the fan base feels like we've been one-sided i mean you're never going to please everybody but the gambling thing obviously has been a passion for me i remember placing my first ten dollar three-leg baseball parlay in 1997 at gettysburg college sportsbook.ag whatever it was yeah yeah this is the greatest thing oh yeah that was the site you had to send i used to go to western union and say it's like the bahamas right and like a money transfer for that but you it's like, I love gambling and I love cannabis and thankfully everybody's coming around on those two things.
So there was a time where I felt like I had to hide in the corner. Well, I got a way to make people not like you.
Um, you signed your new deal. How much is it for? I don't even know.
No, it's a question, right? You just say how much money you make and people would be like, fuck this guy it's uh it's crazy to think that at the end of this deal i'll be 48 and 15 years in and um you know hopefully uh he doesn't terminate me with cause okay that is crazy so maybe we can make some other people hate you um do you still hate stockton california i got my 209 tattoo they hate me i don't hate them wait why did you hit the 209 isn't that also their their way of saying that they love you in stockton is like actually sending you death no yeah yeah love that is love so when nate diaz fought conor mcgregor the first time on my podcast the anakin florian podcast i wasn't calling the pay-per-views at that time and uh this was not the first tattoo bet i made like i'm a radio guy we do tattoo bets all the time we have one with kirk cousins right now exactly yeah this one i just happened to get the ink. I think the first tattoo bet I made.
Like, I'm a radio guy. We do tattoo bets all the time.
We have one with Kirk Cousins right now. Exactly.
This one, I just happened to get the ink. I think the first tattoo bet I did was if Ronda Rousey loses to Bechco, hey, I'll get the Brazilian flag tattooed on my body.
But there's always a tie into the tattoo. Like, I've called 27 shows in Brazil.
That nation means a lot to me, right? So the Diaz brothers, Nick Diaz was always my favorite fighter. So obviously, there was a part of me that wanted the 209 tattoo i was trying to bring attention to the podcast so i basically went on the air however waywardly and said uh you know what if nate diaz comes off vacation in cabo and beats conor mcgregor with no training camp i'm gonna get a 209 tattoo now the issue became that it surfaced on nate's radar during fight week and so he then said you know john an you know, if he doesn't get a motherfucking 209 tattoo, I'm going to whip his little ass.
And, you know, finally my daughters are now at an age where they needed the proper explanation. And actually three weeks ago I sat them down and played them the video of Nate Diaz motherfucking.
Oh, that's awesome. They were like, good choice, Dad.
I'm glad you got that tattoo. Yes, yes.
We now understand the trade you made. That makes sense.
A weird part about your journey with UFC has to be that Joe Rogan, who you call almost all the fights with, has become the most popular talked-about guy in the world. When you go online on a Tuesday and you see him trending, are you like, oh, what's going on now? It's just crazy.
It it's nuts and i feel like every american male age 18 to 45 and just like every goddamn word the guy says so my brother-in-law knows more about my broadcast partner than i do you know and i feel like we did a show in jacksonville florida and like governor ron de santis like wanted to meet joe rogan so all of a sudden he like dips out during the broadcast you know in between fights he is larger than life and he's the real article. Super genuine guy.
He embraced me to such an extent. Like imagine you're in a broadcast booth, a two man booth for like 20 years.
And it's like, hey, by the way, we're letting your play by play guy go. You get this new guy and we're also bringing in a fighter.
Yeah. So his whole world sort of changed.
And I don't know that he gets enough credit for sort of embracing that. You know't get any credit nationally as far as the Emmys go for whatever the fuck reason.
How does Joe Rogan not have a sports Emmy at this point in time? I don't know. It's weird.
Yeah, they give everybody a sports Emmy. I feel like you see everybody out there that has ever had a show on ESPN.
They've at least been nominated for it. But Joe Rogan, probably the most likable person in terms of commentating their sport that there is.
Never won one that's kind of bizarre to me. I also feel like Joe Rogan has a pretty good head on his shoulders when it comes to, like, he knows that since he's gotten so popular, there are a lot of people that are trying to, like, use him left and right, left and right.
And he's kind of stayed true to, like, who he is throughout all this. And honestly, it just seems like a good hang, too.
Yeah, no doubt about it. And what's interesting for me, a lot of people see me as a conduit to get to Joe.
That's why we had you on. Of course, of course.
Do you want to call him? Yeah. Is he in the green room right now? Right, you're going to ask me if the most famous person on my cell phone.
But he changes his cell phone number like every six months. So on my phone, you see Rogan 2018, 2019.
That's funny. Because it just gets out of control.
That's great. But it was interesting.
We're doing a pay-per-view in buffalo right in the whole buffalo bills offensive line this like 2017 is waiting to meet joe richie incognito exactly incognito was front and center so for me it's like i'm a patriots fan but like i can't wait to meet the buffalo bills tyrod taylor was there you know yeah and joe just respectfully oh that part about jo, I actually am like a little jealous. He does not give a shit about any other sport.
Like you could say, you know, any football player is like, I don't care. I only care about UFC.
Sometimes I like daydream about like, what if I just only watch one sport? Yeah. Because we talk about all the sports and there's definitely times where we sound like idiots and we sound like like idiots all the time, but where we'll say something like, hey, name four Seattle Mariners, and we're like, oh, shit.
Yeah, but he grew up in Massachusetts. You would think growing up in Massachusetts you can't help but be a little bit of a sports fan, but he is not that.
He doesn't care at all, right? But I got to say, man, kickboxing, boxing, anything combat, he just has such an appetite for. And I don't know if you guys feel this way, but certainly for me, and I say this with all respect to all my broadcast partners, 16 different combinations for me in 11 years, but it just feels bigger when Joe's there.
And when we go to Abu Dhabi and he's not there, I wish he was there. Is he not allowed in Abu Dhabi? No.
A few years ago, he just basically paired it back to North America. So he did commit on the air, if you recall.

If Leon Edwards, Kamar Usman 2 happens in England,

we got him to commit on air to come join us for that one.

But generally speaking, he doesn't leave North America for the UFC,

at least right now.

Yeah, I mean, I always love the reaction shots that we get from you guys.

Anytime there's a big knockout.

And they seem totally spur of the moment.

But are you cognizant of the fact that there's a camera right in your face?

And you guys, they're always the best memes right after a fight.

Is there one face that you feel like the three of you have pulled off together at the same time that is like head and shoulders above the rest? You know, obviously the one that comes to mind, Drakkar Close and Benil Daryush were in a fight and essentially one guy's about to knock the other guy out and then it flips on a dime and just jaws drop. We look pretty fucking homely in some of those shots.
They're great, though. You guys are like reaching out.
They're real, though. You're like holding each other back.
Joe, try. Like, you know, if you're about to rear end somebody in you, that's what it is.
It's a totally organic reaction. He can't do that to me like two months ago in the car.
He reached out and held me back. It was kid reflexes.
Yeah, look out for my partner. But it is, you know, a lot is made of that.
of that but right it's a tiny fucking camera right above rogan's monitor that's like the last thing i'm thinking about so when some people come at us and say oh you're playing to the cameras it's like yeah dick fuck yeah like no no not at all and not for nothing as soon as i cap the highlight i'm dealing with trap like dude that's the last thing from my mind of that, I can assure you. It's just always a beautiful guys being dudes moment, though, when you guys are just freaking out after a big knockout.
I love that. No, it's a fun job, man.
There's no doubt about it. And obviously, the inconvenient truth of my job is that oftentimes we have 14 or 15 fights over eight hours, and I have to leave room in my register as the fights gets bigger and making sure that I have the energy but dude there's nothing like it like no there's nothing like fight night yeah and so let's talk about the fight on Saturday night MSG what are you most excited for outside of Meatball Molly because she's gonna yeah she better get that elbow that elbow she throws those elbows in like just talking to her I don't know if she's done that to you yeah but she's like I've like joked with her and she'll be like watch the elbow throw it right in my side like fuck she is she is just such a sweetheart you guys know and what a great rep for barstool sports and uh i don't feel like a couple years ago she could have been champion or been like a top five contender and now without a shadow of a doubt i do so i give her more of chance than the betting odds would suggest.
But I get anxious like as we start talking about this main event, right? Because I don't know how much your audience knows the backdrop to this fight. But Israel Adesanya is our undisputed middleweight champion, has never lost at 185 pounds.
But as a kickboxer, he lost twice to this man and once was knocked out rather violently in Sao Paulo, Brazil. So that has laid a foundation for this fight.

And Alex Pereira, despite the fact that he's only 3-0 in the UFC, is getting this opportunity.

And there's just so much tension on this main event that I have no choice but to lead there.

Yeah, I love Israel Adesanya.

And partially it seems to, you know, I'm a casual.

I'm a casual UFC guy.

I watch some of the larger main events and some of the bigger pay-per-views but i remember um i was high as shit in a hotel room one time and uh the adesanya anderson silver fight came on and in that fight in the span of about like 15 minutes he must have changed his stance and style i don't like 20 times and i thought i was watching a video game i was so high that i thought that he was in a video game at some point like is does he actually believe that he's a video game character when he's doing these things his nickname is the last style bender and he feels like a lot of his success is predicated upon his ability to shift and make adjustments I just am dying to see how he approaches this fight right because he could make it a pretty pedestrian boring fight I think if he wants he wants to, perhaps not, right? But like he can leg kick and jab and realize success at distance, right? But his last fight against Jared Kananier, and you may recall Chris Pratt and some other guys sort of came out publicly and just felt like it was really boring. He was emotionally affected by that.
You know, he was disappointed by that reaction. Now that is not to suggest he's going to go in their balls to the wall and try to put on a show um but if he approaches this with a more aggressive tenor this could be one of the greatest fights of all time because the dude he's fighting is a marauding fucking killer and i know that it obviously like it definitely affects you right when the card isn't great like a very i'm not comparing myself to you but when we do the rough and rowdy cards and it there's not like knockouts or big fights it's like well that kind of sucked i feel bad but that's the fight game so there are times when you walk away and you're like shit like i really wish that was a better card because or more action because the people that's what people want to see carla esparza is our ufc strawweight champion she's defending the title against jong wei li here on saturday night she won the belt from rosenama unas back in May, I believe it was, in one of the worst UFC championship fights in the history of the promotion.
And I was sort of interested to sit down with Carla this week because we provide the soundtrack to that. There's plenty of criticism in there.
I mean, that fight was absolutely dreadful. And when Carla Esparza took to the stage at the press conference here in New York City on Wednesday, I I feel like people are still booing like the booze continued from that fight.
So, yeah, we get it. And sometimes the truck will say in our ears like, Jesus, you guys got to finish out there like fuck, you know? So, yeah, we feel that I think because we have 14 fights over eight hours and the whole thing is just such a mind warp that you can always extract something positive.
But, yeah, we've had some stinkers. Yeah, yeah.
And now, are you – the weird thing with UFC, I am like PFT. I buy the big pay-per-views.
I love buying the big pay-per-views probably like once a month or, you know, whatever. You guys have shows, it feels like, every week.
I've actually started to love the grappling. Is there a style that you like to call more? Because this is going to sound fucked up.
People probably clip this, but I just love watching a dude get choked out. Yeah.
Yeah, even after I said this is going to sound fucked up, it sounded even more fucked up. But something about the grappling where you're like, oh, shit, does he have his neck? Like, is this going to be it? Is there a style, though, that you prefer? If you had to pick your perfect fight, what would it look like? No, that's it.
And candidly, when there's a lot of those grappling transitions on the ground with these scrambles and everything else, like I've taken six jiu-jitsu classes in my life, fucking hated it, you know, pajamas, dude in my legs, clothes guard, not into it, right? But when the fight hits the canvas, like Dana wants me to shut my mouth essentially and let the analyst shine. So I get to lay back and sort of watch a lot of that play out.
But yeah, there's no more exciting way for a fight to end for me than by submission. It's crazy because you're basically watching a guy and you're like, he's desperately trying to get out of this because his life is on the line.
And something about it is so fascinating. Whereas when I first started watching UFC, I hated the wrestling.
I hated that. Now I just love it.
Yeah, the offensive submission game is a little bit of bit of a lost start but yeah seeing guys gurgling as they're getting choked out or somebody snap an arm or a leg yeah but with the elbow snaps that's always the one that I think the elbow snapping backwards is the most universal like cringe yeah up movement that you can make and it's just the danger of it when you're like oh no his like his chin is like he's got under is a problem. Yeah.
There's something about it. But there was a time when I was like a boxing journalist, right? And MMA was this avalanche that was coming.
And I was defensive of boxing. So there was definitely a time where I was publicly critical of mixed martial arts and the wrestling and found it off putting.
And now I'm absolutely aligned with you, Big Cat. It's all about the grappling for me.
I just I find the transitions, the scrambles to be absolutely fascinating. I think my favorite knockouts are always the liver shots.
Like a body shot knockout. And you don't expect it coming because the guy absorbs the hit, sometimes takes a half step backwards, then the pain really registers, and it just paralyzes you, and you just collapse to the ground.
It's very rare that you get a solid liver shot knockout. But I think I like the liver liver have you guys ever been hit in that area flush liver no no not like alcohol yeah like i woke up in the morning and be like oh god i feel like i just took a body shot but no so the worst one i ever took if you can believe it my daughter tatum when she was five we were wrestling and she just pointed her toes right into my fucking liver and dude i was down for down for the count.
You know, if they get you in the right spot, I don't care if you're five years old or 25, you point the toes in the right way. Dude, I thought I was dying.
I thought I was going to be spitting up blood. It's like where the nerve endings are, something about where that connects to your spine or something.
I don't know what it just seems like magic to me. It's like in Kill Bill where they poke you in the chest and then you walk away and then you collapse.

That's what happens.

All right, so Hank's not here right now, but we've been grilling him all year. So I want your take because you obviously do love the NFL.
Mac Jones the guy? No, absolutely not. Oh, wow.
Does Hank think Mac Jones is the guy? Hank is struggling right now. So Hank actually has come to grips with the fact that the Patriots are kind of middle of the road right now.
And he you can tell that you can see the hurt in his eyes because he's just like when when the Patriots beat the Jets, he was like, yeah, OK, like that was cool. But, you know, they're not you know, they've got problems.
So like you, you think Mac Jones is definitively not the guy. Oh, I mean, I would put a tattoo bet on it right now that he's not going to realize anything resembling long-term nfl success now that is not to say that he won't get better right but everybody in local everybody locally in boston understands that he has a c-minus arm at best like he's a good leader of men like i like him as a leader but that only goes so far i think he is a very limited quarterback bailey zappy's even more limited than mac jones but.
But Kenny Pickett passes the fucking eye test. If you watch Mac Jones every week, like 20 NFL starts, like fucking no.
Wow. I mean, it's interesting because I think you're the first person that I've heard say, I can't stand Mac Jones.
Well, definitively not the guy, but also Bailey Zappi is worse because a lot of times people are like, I don't like Mac Jones, but Bailey's got some moxie to him, but you're totally out on them. Out of that whole draft class, let's say the draft class was like, would you rather have Zach Wilson than Mac Jones right now? You know, that's sort of a week-to-week proposition, right? Like, if you ask me Zach Wilson versus Mac Jones, depending on the week, that answer could absolutely change.
But certainly at the end of last season, right, everybody would have taken Mac Jones over Zach Wilson, and that is absolutely not the case right now. What about other guys in that class? Like, I don't know.
Trey Lance. Yeah, Trey Lance, Sam Ellinger, Justin Fields.
Well, like Sam Ellinger's an interesting cat, right? So Sam Ellinger and Mac Jones went to the same quarterback coach this past offseason. And, you know, he made some changes with Mac Jones' delivery and everything else.
But it's like some of these guys, man. Who's that guy? Tom House.
Oh, the famous Tom House. The Whisperer.
He was Peyton's guy. No, was he Brady's guy? Yeah, Brady went to see him.
A lot of people have been to Tom. But, you know, Mac seemed very encouraged that, you know, his release point was essentially changed from 2 p.m.
Eastern to noon. Well, where are the results? I might actually be taking myself out of the NFL mix if I continue to chastise Mac Jones wait so who well who would you pick out of those guys like i just listen i would take davis mills joseph fields uh oh i like fields a little bit but obviously that's there's a little bit of recency bias there but i just don't understand for the life of me if you go back and look at the lamar jackson draft why bill bill belichick and all these guys passed on him right like yeah i don't profess to be some sort of expert but like i don't need michael vick to tell me that this dude is going to be better than michael vick and was there no room for improvement for lamar once he got to the league like how did so many teams fucking miss on that well now you're seeing the the aftermath of it which is teams going back rewriting history and sean payton being like yeah i was going take him next.
When Sean Payton had the opportunity to take him. He traded up like 18 picks to take Marcus Davenport.
Yeah, exactly. Who sucks.
So now what Sean Payton's doing is actually very smart right now. He's positioning himself as being a free agent NFL head coach at the same time that Lamar Jackson would be a free agent quarterback.
He's like, get us together, package deal. Let me have another crack at him.
Yeah, it's mind-blowing to me that so many people whiffed on that. But I think Belichick, and again, this is pure speculation, but I do think it's daunting to think about bringing in a guy like Lamar Jackson and effectively changing your entire offense to sort of fit his skill set and his needs.
I think for Bill and certain staffs and offenses, perhaps a little bit long in the tooth, that is such a daunting proposition. But, dude, Lamar Jackson, did he not pass the eye test for you guys at Louisville? Yeah.
So I'll say this. He was one of the best college quarterbacks I've ever seen.
The only thing I thought about Lamar Jackson, I think he still every now and then struggles with it, is his short passes sometimes just aren't that accurate. But everything else has been phenomenal.
And yet it as a passer yeah he has but i i do remember at louisville like there you know a guy would be out in the flat and he'd miss him like what's going on here he's gotten way better i mean he's a superstar he's if you like if he actually hits free agency i would love to see like every team should be knocking down the door outside of like you know the bills and the chiefs to try to get lamar jackson Jackson because he's that good. So who do you have winning the Super Bowl this year? So my big future tickets are on Buffalo at plus 650 and plus 675.
That's not bad. I always bet against the Boston teams.
I lost six grand when the Yankees got eliminated. I would pay that every day of the week.
My twin brother and I have probably bet over $300,000 lifetime against the Boston teams. We pay for championships.
That's funny. And it fucking works.
Yeah, that does work. That's actually brilliant.
So you have the Bills, $675,000. Anything else? I did have the Raiders to win the AFC at 23-1.
Oh, nice. So we could probably rip up that ticket right now.
Can you hedge an opportunity for that one right now? What is the payout on that? Probably like $2. Oh my gosh.
But no, I still. They've been the most frustrating team to watch.
But every year I place a big future on the NFL. And all I try to determine is which team is most likely to end up in the final four.
And the only one of these I've ever hit actually was the Chiefs like three years ago. But which team, I don't care about the price necessarily.
Yeah. Which team is most likely to be in the Final Four? For the ride.
And so this year, you know, it was the Buffalo Bills. Last year was the Buffalo Bills too.
No, you didn't get to the Final Four. I don't want to big dick you, but I have the Eagles 22-1.
Do you really? Yeah. I love it.
Yeah. And I just added the Ravens 13-1 to my portfolio.
That's a great price still on them. My trading portfolio, yeah.
Unfortunately, at this point of the nfl and college football season if the eagles win the super bowl i think i would still be negative on the year but that's fine that's all right yeah hey the ride hey if molly mccann wins this weekend and i think i have to bet against her though so she can win yes you should be paying for molly mccann lose parlay yeah and when patty pimblett fights jared gordon you absolutely need to bet on jared to pay for Patty Pimlet win. Patty's the best.
He is a real, like, he's going to be a superstar, right? Like, if he keeps winning? I think he's already, you can argue, he already is a superstar in a lot of respects. I think the question for me is, is he going to adopt the championship lifestyle 24-7, 365, that will allow him? Oh, no.
No, just hear me out. No, no, no.
You can't eat after? I love the fact that he owns that food is his favorite thing, you know, because other than like cannabis and gambling for me, it's probably food, but you can't, it's not sustainable, you know? And a lot of people look at him as maybe a future like featherweight champion, but at lightweight, I mean, have you guys seen Islam, right? Our current lightweight champion. So I do believe for Patty, as much as I love that he loves food and being himself that eventually to realize top 10 type success in what is our toughest deepest division he's gonna have to make some lifestyle changes it's the old uh ricky hat remember when everyone tried to bill ricky hat and is gonna beat some like mayweather and then you'd see him in in the off months and he would just be so fat playing playing darts at a at a pub in He's like, I don't think this guy's going to beat Mayweather.
So, okay. All right.
So no feasting after the win. But, you know, he's a prize fighter, and obviously he's going to make a lot of money.
And there are varying degrees of championship aspiration with these athletes. Now, Paddy obviously won a couple regional titles, and there's no doubt he has ufc championship aspirations but eventually you do have to go all in on yourself and live that lifestyle to see just how good you can be maybe i'll just take one for the team and just be like patty whatever you want to eat i'll eat for you just sit next to him i'll get to 300 pounds so you can stay at 150 but think how good he is right now.
Just imagine for a second if you were to take 2023 and just live that lifestyle. And when I say live that lifestyle, I mean potentially be ready to take a short notice fight that could be a hugely high-profile fight.
He can't do that right now. That would be funny if he took one when he was fat, though.
If he was like, yeah, I'm in. If the paycheck's ready, he just shows up and he's just fat in a way doesn't that add like a different component to your cardio if you get super fat and then having to work that off it's almost like you get into desperation mode where you're like okay i really got to go balls to the wall get all this fat off my body yeah you can't be like diet starts monday like it actually has to start yeah it has to like i feel like that that gives you a weird i don't know if it's mental edge but your body is experiencing adversity where if you're in good shape all the time.
Your body never experiences that. No, I feel like that gives you a weird, I don't know if it's mental edge, but your body is experiencing adversity, where if you're in good shape all the time, your body never experiences that.
No, I think you're onto something. Yeah.
I really do. Quick question for you.
When are we going to get to see MMA in the Olympics? You know, it's a really complicated thing, right? Because obviously cuts are a big part of our sport, so you have to think about different rule sets, right, and allowing guys to compete several times in a short amount of time right so if there's an elbow cut maybe a guy wins the fight but then you're looking at replacements so there are a lot of different variables you know would the ufc be willing as a company that does 42 or 44 events a year would they be willing to take like a six or eight week hiatus once every four years to allow for that to happen? I'm going to say no. And also you have to think about...
I'm going to speak for Dana right now? No. But obviously could you imagine what it would be like for Henry Cejudo what his Olympic gold medal means to him relative to his UFC championship belts? What it would be like for these men and women to be able to fight for Olympic gold? Imagine the fans in the stands for a the stands for like a championship fight it's like you got a brazilian guy you got a guy from the united states fighting like that would be an incredible atmosphere i think it's more likely that dana's just going to start giving out olympic gold medals for any champion and just be like he just makes no olympics yeah here's here's your olympic gold medal all i can tell you about this company is that they are very forward thinking And I was privy to some things today that I saw as we look ahead to 2023 and 2024 that are going to effectively blow people's minds.
We'll cut this part. So go ahead.
Tell us. There's something really cool that's going to happen potentially as early as 2023.
That's just going to add a whole different component to machetes. I don't know if it's that would be sick.
gets one machete oh you're getting the detroit urban survival guy that dude do you think how good do you think he would be at mma dude can you imagine what it was like for me calling a fight and all of a sudden i get word that he's going to be in the corner of joaquin buckley and i get my corner audio sheet and dale's on it dale's the man uh he's strange guy. I had the opportunity to interview him.
But it would be very funny to send somebody into the ring. Maybe just one of the undercards.
One guy gets a knife, but they're going up against Dale. Or like five guys trying to attack him at once.
He just has to skirt around the outside of the ring. Or maybe it's like a break glass in case of emergency.
Like if the card really sucks, let's just have a knife fight. Yeah, why not? Let's just throw one in there.
Yeah. Hey.
Oh, you're getting his bullet to finally fight. Well, so that's what I was going to say.
You took the words out of my mouth. So Dana White obviously has resisted like freak show type things.
Like we don't have a super heavyweight division. Oh, I miss it too.
Well, Shaquille O'Neal probably would have fought infc at this point in time if we had athletes who competed north of 266 pounds but let's do dana wants a meritocracy like he is a sports fan like he doesn't want like freak show fights if he can help it but i'd be lying if i said i didn't want to call it you should have you should just have like a throwback night to like, you know, UFC one.

Yeah.

It's just, you know, 300 pound dudes fighting Ken Shamrock.

That's actually a great idea that I haven't heard like a throwback type night.

He had no rules.

And it's just, you know, we could we actually do it because it used to be tournament style.

Yeah.

And just have everyone just duke it out.

A couple of the guys in the game.

I think we just created rough and rowdy, though.

Yeah, kind of.

In a way.

I didn't want to cut rough and rowdy down. I was going to say, man, we should do that.
And maybe West Virginia? Yeah, that sounds cool. Is there one rule change that you'd like to see happen in the UFC? Well, you know, I don't like soccer kicks, which essentially means I can be laying on the ground and you can kick me in the head.
I'm not for that. I'm also not for that.
But I am for knees to the head of a grounded. Okay.
Now what's the difference? Well, so obviously like if you're on the ground and I'm standing up, I can't really knee you in the head and get my knee going like 25 miles per hour, the way I could get my leg going. But if I'm on the ground as well, right.
Or you're on a knee or you're posting with a hand right now, you're a downed opponent, can't knee them in the head so you might not even be on the ground he did that scumbag and i would also like to you know if an opponent's on the ground you could just shove a knee into his you know so i would like to see knees to the head of a grounded opponent i would like to see them get rid of the 12 to 6 elbow rule like i don't think that like that's open to interpretation john jones his lone loss is because of a 12 to 6 elbow so I'd like to see elbows and knees be a little bit more liberal yeah I like what big cats getting at here with the Greg Hardy stuff because we talk about Greg Hardy when he fights because nothing brings America together like watching Greg Hardy get his ass kicked like really violently everybody hates that guy you should just have him fight someone much bigger than him with weapons. And just have Greg Hardy.
One weekend a year, Greg Hardy, you can set your clocks in America, sit down, gather around, and watch this guy almost die. Fight a lion.
Yes. Dude, we would get killed for saying positive things on the air about Greg Hardy.
Because ultimately, I'm trying to promote, right? I'm a promoter as much as I'm a journalist.

And you can really only judge people upon what they give you.

Like Floyd Mayweather treated me like gold.

It's not my problem that everybody else can't stand him, right?

So Greg Hardy really did like treat our staff well.

And yet even people that he treated well couldn't necessarily find it within themselves to root

for him, you know?

And then the whole inhaler thing happened, you know?

We still don't have clarity, by the way, on the whole inhalerer thing but this dude puffed an inhaler mid-round you know of course he did of course he did wow the the one rule that i love when you guys have to like decipher is is just anyone who grabs the cage do you does that does that annoy you because it does feel like it it's actually nice because i i'm a big believer like when everyone's like robot umps or you know there should be a sky judge like no no let's let refs figure it out because what else would we complain about like we need something as sports fans after a fight to be like that was fucked up yeah does that bother you though when it's like the ref is maybe not calling it one fight then calling it the next that's actually a good point in terms of controversy maybe being good for sport in terms of some of the refereeing and judging i hadn't necessarily thought about it like that but no i feel like one blatant fence grab can essentially be the difference in a fighter winning and losing and it's crazy so you know we had a situation recently randy brown fighting francisco trinaldo and i got particularly animated i wish i hadn't used the word testicles on the air but essentially it was such a blatant fence grab and i felt like it changed the round and i remember that fight i said you know maybe as a referee you pull out your testicles and take a point right and really try to affect change and level the playing field right because trinaldo did not get a takedown in that round and then he got one in the third round you know so it is what it is but yeah i get very upset with that foul in particular yeah i just i i have always just been of the mindset that if you if you like made computer umps and everything for all sports it would like eliminate 50 of the conversations i have yeah i mean i wouldn't have anything to talk about with other people no i think there's a lot to that you know when i think about like yeah i mean we need to be like oh no that was pi for the rest of the week and then you get screwed you disagree with the person too. It's like, no, I don't, I think there's a lot to that.
When I think about, yeah. You need to be like, oh, no, that was PI for the rest of the week.
And then you get screwed. You disagree with the person, too.
It's like, no, I don't think it was PI. Yeah, you do the screenshots on Twitter where everyone's psychoanalyzing every moment.
That's pretty much what our human interaction has been boiled down to. Speaking of testicles, my favorite thing that you guys do sometimes is when you try to analyze whether or not it was a nut shot.
When the guy's like taking his time and how much time do you get if you actually get hit in the nuts to recover? Five minutes. Is that eye too as well? So look at these fucking guys.
What a great question. So actually within the last six weeks that was changed.
Oh. Normally for an eye, referee's discretion, now you get a full five.
Oh. Look at you.
Look at you just all fucking over it. What hurts more, getting hit in the nuts or the eye? I would say eyebrow.
You think so? Dude, the eye is. You got two of them.
Well, you can't see for the rest of the time. Yeah.
No, I mean, one of my broadcast partners, Michael Bisping, as you guys probably know. I mean, he can take his left eyeball out.
Yes. It's fake.
How often does he do that? He did it on camera several times. Has he ever done it at dinner? Yes.
Someone gets a martini and he drops it into there He has not dropped it in the drink But yeah we were at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse Wherever we were and he took his eye out for the waiter Oh my god That's kind of badass though But yeah I mean obviously you guys have You've been on the wrong end of a groin strike before But probably not like a really bad like cornea scratching eye poke yeah

when you're when you're watching the replay of the groin shots and it's like super slow-mo do you guys get in disagreements like no i think that that hit the testicle you can see like right yeah i can envision a testicle being yeah this guy doesn't have a big dick so it probably didn't hurt him dude what's amazing to me is to the fellow fighters that sit to my right to be like You're like, eh, you know, look clean to me.

The guy's like writhing in pain, you know.

You know. what's amazing to me is to the fellow fighters that sit to my right to be like, yeah, you know, yeah, look good.
Look clean to me. The guy's like writhing in pain, you know, um, you know, his dick's gonna be purple in the morning.
He didn't get clipped, you know, I love it. All right.

Okay, can you give us one pick for... I know you can't really give us picks.
Give us a fight that we have to really be like, not the main event, not Molly. How about an underdog that he thinks should not be that much of an underdog? Yeah, and you can't say Molly.
Right, so I will, just say that the Molly McCann price, to me, seems out of whack. Aaron Blanchfield's a great grappler, but minus 400, given what Molly has done of late, that surprises me.
You know, Dominic Reyes, who fought Jon Jones very closely for the UFC light heavyweight title, is minus 215. Ryan Spann is a monster, and he's plus 180, so I felt like that fight was maybe a little bit tighter.
And then Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier, arguably the people's main event, the fight that most people are looking forward to the most. I left South Florida where I live.
Michael Chandler was plus 145. He's now plus 180.
I see that fight as being much closer than that betting line indicates. So I do see value on Michael Chandler, certainly north of plus 180.

Not necessarily saying he's going to win

because I got to call the fight,

but I try to write down

what I think the lines are going to be beforehand.

And I was way off on that.

We do that too.

Whose line is it anyway?

It's a little game to play on the podcast.

All right.

So UFC 281.

PFT is not coming, huh?

Madison Square Garden.

He's playing a rugby game this weekend.

So if I get through Saturday night

with my Achilles tendons intact, I'm counting that as a win. It's a win.
Yeah. Jake, did you have any questions for John? Is it, you know, Big J to Big J? Hey, John, Jake Marsh, part of my take podcast.
So UFC 281, obviously there's a lot of buzz around it. How do you not let the emotions get to you knowing that this might be bigger than some of the other UFC pay-per-views you call? Or do treat it all the same way this feels fucking enormous Jake if I'm being honest like I was getting anxious filling out my fighter cards which like never happened certainly when I'm like packing for a Conor McGregor pay-per-view it feels bigger New York is just bigger like there's a New York effect I said in my media scrum earlier today like there's a Ronda rousey effect when she fought a conor mcgregor effect there's definitely a new york effect it just feels bigger and i think you can argue i know we've had some championship triple headers here but in terms of fan interest and fan appeal like this is probably our most anticipated new york city pay-per-view since conor fought here in 2016 so um i'm excited i mean for me like a lot of the anxiety is in the preparation right like i remember a time where i had 10 fights 20 fighters like think about 20 fighters versus 28 right yeah and just prepping eight other fighters so it's uh it's the devil i know but uh you know the next two days gonna be a lot who would you say is uh your favorite fighter's favorite fighter so i always used to give that distinction to justin gaethje because his style is just bulletproof i've always said that you have always said that and i sort of said that about him on the air and so it kind of was a calling card i think for him a little bit you know um but michael chandler has you know so he's an acquired taste for some people you know he's a really really good dude but i just think he's kind of taking the sport by storm his war with gaethje of course in new york city.
So Chandler's a guy on that list as well. We got a lot of guys.
I mean, Nico Price, you know. Big fan of Nico Price.
Definitely Nico Price, yeah. Love him.
Fucking wild, man. Five kids, though.
Too many children. Yeah, that's a lot of kids.
What's the right amount of kids? Well, Forrest Griffin, former UFC light heavyweight champion, told me that I was like overpopulating the planet when we ran it back for a third kid. And the only reason we had a third kid was because the dog fucking attacked all the children.
And if the dog had worked out, I wouldn't have a son. You know, I think two or three is good.
I think four or five sounds pretty obnoxious. Yeah.
Yeah. Four or five, you become like a kid guy.
Yeah. I mean, I could get behind zero kids too, but that's a different conversation.
No kids lifestyle. It's not bad.
I can do anything. You don't mean that.
You mean that you don't mean that well i just think that generally speaking like a lot of people don't understand the life that they give up when they enter that life people get offended when i talk about taking care of my kids as babysitting or child care they're like it's not babysitting they're your kids it's like no no no it's baby it's fucking babysitting i'm on the clock i can go out on a school night like that right Right. And I don't care.
Well, you can come home from work, sit on the couch, pull out your cell phone. Put out an R-rated movie.
Oh, I can do that too, but my kids are sitting there watching me. I get good night's sleep like every night.
It's pretty cool. Yeah, I don't sleep.
That's fine. Sleep is overrated.
Okay, well, John, thank you. We appreciate it.

my phone you know checking checking everything checking checking my emails checking my tweets tiktoks instagram snap chats the whole the whole works and i knew it was like 20 25 minute drive and i kind of caught caught myself was like wow we've been driving for a while we got to be close i look up and we're going over the brooklyn bridge and i then realized that the address i put in for the office is has the same address oh yeah all the way deep in like park park slope brooklyn which is deep in brooklyn yep so and i'd already been in the car for 30 minutes and and we were over the bridge and there was like traffic so by the time we i was like fuck this i called max was like i'm just gonna you know send me the email me the thing i'll give you notes virtually because i'm not gonna be at the office for another hour at this point and so i just got uh there's like a uh path station at the world trade center which was near the brooklyn bridge so we we turn around we and i have to pee so fucking bad at this point i was like jake i had like i was gonna piss my pants and it's one of those things where it's all i could think about this is is the guy who's in charge of the entire company. Get out at the World Trade Center.
Get out at the World Trade Center, and I know there's a big shopping center there. It's open during the day.
I know there's public bathrooms in there. I'm sprinting.
I'm sprinting inside. I had to pee so bad.
All the stores are closed. The bathroom was closed, and there was a little sign in front of me where it's closed for the night.
I jumped over the sign. The door was locked.
A worker comes over. I was like, please, can you open it? I got to pee.
He's like, I would help you. It's automatically locked.
He's like, run upstairs. There's a bathroom up there.
They'll let you go up there. He was helping me out.
He saw my eyes. I was like, dude, please.
I just have to fucking, it's an emergency. I'm going to piss my pants.
Why did you piss outside? Run upstairs. Well, i wasn't trying to be like a normal person like it's kind of a busy area whatever so i run upstairs i pissed outside today i run upstairs from my house and and one woman like stopped me was like we're closed i was like can i please use the bathroom i'm like pleading with her she's like no we're closed i was like i got so i was so frustrated like why like do you know who i am not even that i was like i was just like please like be a nice person like i'm dying here.
She's like, nope. I like that.
Be a nice person. We should put that on shirts.
Then I had to run outside and I was pissed basically in the street because at that point I had no choice. Wow.
I'm so sorry that happened to you at the World Trade Center. That was my fire press.
Wait, so you committed a crime? Yeah, the Uber situation, taking like a $60 Uber for no reason. Yeah, that's a historical landmark.
You pissed on the World Trade Center? Yeah. Not on the World Trade Center.
That's what it sounds like. Financial district, Wall Street.
I pissed on Wall Street. Basically, Hank and MLB on Fox are doing the same amount of respect.
Hank pissed on Wall Street. It's never forgiven for 2008.
No, but a very small mistake had very large consequential actions. There were no large consequential actions.
Extremely inconsequential. Putting in the wrong address and end up in the wrong place.
I didn't hit the wrong button. But I made it home.
Alright, PFT, your... Good job.
So, my FireFest is kind of a continuation from last week's FireFest. I have to go play in a rugby game this weekend, which I'm not prepared, body nor mind, to do.
But I'm just going to do it, and hopefully everything's going to be fine. I haven't been working out as much as I would like to, and I'm not prepared for this.
But I've kind of decided to flip the switch, and instead of being the old guy that gets back into shape is the old guy that embraces being out of shape and smokes a cigarette right before the game, that sort of thing. That guy.
I might just get real fat over the next three days and be like, fuck it. My body's fucked up anyways.
Might as well just embrace it and get into it. That's part of my Fyre Fest.
My other Fyre Fest is I got into a Lyft over the weekend, and I was driving around Chicago, checking out different neighborhoods, had a fantastic time. And then I've got a perfect Lyft rating, by the way, not to brag.
Just a fact, 5.0, five stars. Nice.
And I get driven around for about like 30 minutes going towards what I thought was a destination. And the person stops.
He turns around. He looks at me.
He goes, are you Richard? And I was like, oh, no. I was like, no, I'm not Richard.
And he said i asked you if you were richard when you got in the car i didn't i thought that you thought he was asking if you were rich yeah yeah i was like yeah that's why i use lyft because i got the priority pickup time no and he and he just looks at me goes get out oh get out now and this poor guy has been driving me like a long distance in the car. Jesus.
And I'm like, I'm sorry. What do you say at that point? He's just like, I'm sorry.
Yeah. I didn't have any money to give him for it.
But I don't know what happened to the other person that had been requesting this lift. But then I just got out and felt just like an idiot.
That's brutal. Just like a bad person.
And then I checked my star rating. Still five stars because I had accumulated so many five-star ratings.

That one star, it's just a blip on the map.

Yeah, whatever.

But to that Lyft driver, if you're listening, I'm sorry.

He's not Richard.

I'm sorry.

I'm probably going to be blackballed in Chicago.

Yeah, on the Lyft drivers.

Fuck.

That's actually what happened to me, too.

Yeah, that's what happened.

I didn't put the wrong address in it.

The guy picked up the wrong human. Yeah.
Gotcha. That guy was going to the same address.
We got Breaking Moose. Breaking Moose.
The Brooklyn Nets have released Kyrie Irving's sources tell ESPN. This is from Adrian Wojnarowski, Blue Check Park.
Actual. At JT23556.
Okay. So, breaking moves.
Yeah, Blue Check, sir. What happened to eBay? Everyone's just got to be on their toes now.
Like, you got to just be on your toes. Because I saw this when I just, my computer in front of me.
And I was like, whoa. And then I looked closer.
Let's see how many followers JT. He's got 221 followers.
My strategy is, just turn on notifications from Schefter and from Woj. And LeBron.
Actually, no. It's funny.
I've kind of back-channeled my way into following Woj because I just follow Schefter's retweets of Woj. Yeah.
So the real important stuff that gets filtered through the NFL news, that's how I get it. Also, LeBron had a great quote earlier today.
I don't know if you saw his tweet that he put out. It really made you think.
Our good friend LeBron James, he is the chief LeBron James correspondent on Part of My Take. He tweeted out a couple hours ago, thought bubble emoji.
I told you guys that I don't believe in sharing hurtful information. And I'll continue to be that way but kairi apologized and he should be

able to play i just like how he led that off yeah i i told you guys already i don't believe in sharing hurtful information he let you guys know i i also don't believe in sharing hurtful information yeah thank you lebron appreciate that hank you just said uh what happened to udoku i don't know that was weird they like announced a new head coach and i thought i was i thought i was dreaming for a second.

John Vaughn is now

the head coach of the Nets

and Ndoku is not. That was weird.
They announced a new head coach. I thought I was dreaming for a second.

John Vaughn is now the head coach of the Nets,

and Ndoku is not with the Celtics anymore,

but also not with the Nets.

What did he do?

I think I missed something.

What did he do?

Because everything I read from the Nets thing

was the Nets wanted to hire him,

and they were like...

They did, I thought.

No, I know.

They just acquired him?

They looked into it more, and they're like, no. Did i know and then they just acquired they looked into it more and they're like no like did he fuck a cat did he fuck a cat i don't know i think he has to tweet that he didn't fuck a cat i don't know what he fucked or what he came on or near um but i'm pretty sure that it was uh some but a subordinate it was either a subordinate or it was a uh very close individual to somebody that very, very high up in the Boston Celtics.
It's crazy. And, you know, the story makes no sense.
You know how these owners go. Like, if you meet another guy from the front office and you're like, hey, I hear you're thinking about hiring Emei.
Yeah, he fucked my wife. Just put it in his contract.
It's pro code. You can't hire that guy.
No, Joe Sy Jackson did it. Joe Sy needs to put in the contract.
Hey, Emei, you're language you cannot fuck my wife just go email will hire you but you have to commit you're not coming this entire year yeah no coming no and then you put like like a tracking bracelet on his dick yeah you make sure you know where that dick is at all times it's crazy the whole story makes no sense all right my Fire Fest affects all of us. I hate that I have to say this.
We're deep in the football season, and it's not going to last forever. No, it is.
And college football, when I looked, I had a moment on Saturday night when I was like, oh, I wonder what the big games are next week. And I scrolled, and I was like, wait, it says there's only three more weeks of the regular season? And then I was like, wait, that can't be right.
And unfortunately, I double-checked my sources. There are three more regular season Saturdays left this fall, and that's like the first leaf turning.
When when, when college football, when you get down the last couple of weeks, you get to rivalry Saturday and you're like, wait, okay, but at least we still have a ton of NFL left. And then you look up and you're like, wait, it's week 15.
What the fuck? I just want, I want, I have held off on saying it, but I just want to say it now because it's the first time it has affected me and hit me. And I'm sad.
And that is my fire fest. It is not true.
But we need to also. It's a lie.
This is also the time where I try to take a good approach to it where it's like capture these moments. Do this for me this Saturday.
When you're sitting on your couch watching a million games, take a snapshot. Take a snapshot in your memory and just remember that moment because once Saturdays go, I just – it sucks.
Only three more weeks. It's not true.
You got three more months. You got three more weeks, then you got championship Saturday.
I love bowl season, but there's something about regular season college football. I just – I don't want it to go away.
It is too short. It's way too short.
It is too short. It's always weird to me that college football doesn't go through December.
You always think it goes, and that's how they get you because bowl season starts around the 20th or something like that. There should be college football that's played throughout the month of December.
And it always happens the exact same way. We get to early November, and if you ask me right now, I don't even know what the date is.
Oh, it's the 11th. Yes, thank you, Billy, for your service.
If you ask me when Thanksgiving was, I'd be like a month away. And it's two weeks.
It's two weeks from now. It's two weeks.
It's two weeks. You know what I'm saying? Listen, we're in the age of name, image, and likeness right now.
Let's get them paid more. Let's get them paid more and have them play games all throughout December.
I agree i mean bowl season is great but it's it hit me for the first time i'm being honest about my my my emotions because i wasn't going to jump the gun but it finally did hit me when i looked it was after the lsu bama game and i was like damn that was an unbelievable game who does lsu have next week like wait what they only have three more games? Fuck. Okay, that's my fire fest.
Billy. Billy? Billy.
Did you do anything bad this week, Billy? Yeah, a little bit of mishap. A mishap.
You guys, lean a little bit farther back in your seats. Don't tell me how to sit.
You guys are getting on edge. Just relax.
This is how I sit when we're podcasting. I was.
Billy's on edge right now. Why don't you explain what happened for the people who don't know? I'm about to explain, but you guys are about to jump on.
I know. Okay.
I'm the neutral arbiter because I wasn't in the room. Can I say my fire fest? Yeah.
I wasn't in the room. I wasn't in the room, so I will judge it.
I also wasn't in the office, and I've been purposely not asking questions. Correct.
Same with me. All right.
So PFT will stay out of this for a second. Hank and I will listen to it.
This is the first time we're getting the full account from you. But what if Billy lies during this recap? I will note when I think he's lying.
No chance. I will note.
I'm a good middleman here. Max is around.
Are we ready? Yeah, we're ready. I will know when I think he's lying.
Okay. PFT and I, we're finishing a best of three breath-holding contest.
Okay. Who won? PFT won two to one.
So he can hold his breath longer than you. Two out of three the last times.
He can hold. So you won a contest.
This is how it all started. He can hold his breath.
Wait, can you guys let me see? No, I'm just asking a question. He can hold.
Fact of fiction. Fact of fiction, PFT can hold his breath longer than you.
Out of the water in those seats. No, that's not what I asked.
Can we just get to the point? Fact of fiction. That has nothing to do with the fire.
This is exactly how the fucking thing started yesterday. Okay.
Like word for word. Can you relax? You shut the fuck up and start telling the truth.
I'm telling the truth. What have I lied about? I'm asking you a question, Billy.
I know nothing about this. Fact or fiction, PFT can hold his breath longer than you.
At that moment, yes. So fact.
At that moment, yes. He has stronger lungs, like a stronger mental state than you at that moment yes so fact he is at that moment yes he has stronger lungs like a stronger mental state than you sure at that time above water non stew finders pool so moving on we were finishing up the podcast i had gotten up and pft was just like admit i'm better than you and i was like no no yeah because there's literally that conversation you just had.
That's Billy Kidd's precise. Billy is fragile masculinity personified.
I'm walking out the door, and I was going to admit he was better at me at that breath-holding contest. Oh, you were going to.
He beat me. I was.
That was what I was doing. Yeah.
I go over to turn on Hank's mic to say that.

Our producer, Avery, shout out to Avery. He is a big player in the story later.
Thank Avery so much. He's a hero.
Go to turn on Hank's mic. Hank's mic is turned on by a switch.
There's a switch on Hank's control board, which at that moment is separate from his main frame. I hit a switch, and that switch had a catastrophic impact on how the video cameras record the podcast.
Billy is a gold medalist in terms of using the passive voice where he's like, I hit the switch, then proceeded to go off on its own. That switch didn't do what I asked.
That switch got me into a lot of trouble. I hit the wrong switch.
I. All right.
I wasn't trying anything malicious. I was going to say, you beat me.
The switch then turned off the mainframe, which turned off the cameras, which then, due to some device that's next to Max, the KI Pro, disrupted the processing of the video cameras and the video so the file that had the video angles which film big cat pft respectively or big t at that current time me right now that file of video got corrupted at the time we didn't know what happening. I didn't know that the switch I had hit.

So there was a lot of trying to figure out what had happened.

I take full responsibility.

I take full responsibility.

For what?

For cavalierly hitting a switch that was not the right switch.

You hit a switch, and that switch was disloyal to you.

Yeah.

Do you think that was the root of the problem, though, the switch?

Or was it the fact that you can't take an L?

Were your emotions high or even keeled? I feel like if we're going to ever move forward,

that seems like something you've got to do with a little introspection.

Like, hey, if I lose a bench contest,

if I lose a breath-holding contest,

if you have the softest hands in the office,

I don't know. introspection like hey if i lose a uh uh bench contest if i lose a breath holding contest if i lose a look i have you have the softest hands in the office i forgot that i did beat billy and bench too yeah like a sauce contest it's okay it's okay it's no one thinks of you as less of a man so no you know what throughout my life that skill has helped me a lot i'm holding your breath no i'm very competitive i'm I'll admit it.
I'm very competitive. And because of that...
A sore loser is another way to look at it. No, I mean, the more you hate...
A sore loser? The more you hate losing, the more you're fueled to try to win. But you don't win.
Well, recently. But, like, I was...
You know, I'm a fierce competitor. I put that out It is It is very callous And rubs people the wrong way At certain occasions But That's just how I am You know Adapting to You know An office environment With that same mentality Now It pushes people the wrong way So Billy So yeah I hit the wrong switch Yeah Then I got pissed off Cause As you know Because you couldn't admit That's a competitor competitor because then lost at recording the podcast yeah then no i just i didn't understand mad because you could not believe that you fucked up so catastrophically right yeah you deleted the entire episode so pretty much you can't and also maybe the funniest part listening back to that episode in the first minute billy says this is going to be one that you're going to absolutely make sure to watch on YouTube.
And you should, because there's

a lot of visuals. Is there 1% of you that was like,

if I don't have the visual of the breath holding

contest, that's good for me?

No, no, no. Interesting.

I don't think Billy was doing that.

He's just asking questions, Billy. You just asked questions.

He's just asking questions,

Billy. I know he's just asking questions.

If there wasn't

so much puke on the

board

on the control board

maybe I would have figured out which one it was

I wasn't trying to

switch it actually completely separate from the control board

as Billy eventually realized

and was starting to come to terms mentally

with the fact that he in fact did press

a button that corrupted the entire

video footage and he realized that that button

was on him he delivered what I

Thank you. and was starting to come to terms mentally with the fact that he, in fact, did press a button that corrupted the entire video footage, and he realized that that button was on him, he delivered what I believe to be the Billy excuse quote of the millennium.
He said, yeah, I pressed the button, but the consequential action of what happened for pressing the button is not equivalent to what I did. So Billy was blaming the electronics in that moment, and just an all-time, gonna try to get out of this but to Billy's credit he has taken some responsibility for we did take total response we were able to find the video footage which is being processed and being uploaded right now shout out so why Andrew do you take responsibility for losing in the breath-holding competition that's really what cuz they like it did not like, nothing's going to change if we don't, if we don't really hammer in on that moment and what happened.
Some Sundays you lose. Yes.
Cause that feels like that has, that we've seen that play out before. So I beat you pretty easily both those times.
So the only reason why I let Billy win the second time was because Billy was going to actually, he was going to die rather than lose. Should we do one more? We could do one more.
Yeah, let's do one more. Also, as Billy's punishment, I wanted to give him a natural punishment that fit the crime.
Billy will be this afternoon recording a three and a half hour solo podcast by himself. Is that for Guantanamo okay i'll i'll make it three hours we don't waterboarding's out i'll make it three hours billy's doing a podcast by himself he's not allowed to interview anybody he's not allowed to have any guests it's three hours worth of billy's thoughts oh god that he will be recording himself put that on the internet that's creed's notes it's coming out on saturday and it's going to be powerful shocking stuff and it was funny because i got a text from billy being like i'd like to record this at home today because i'd like to use obs for it um that's a software and then that a little switch clicked on my brain i was like huh what why does billy want to home using no because that's the only and then he's like i know and then billy's like also, can I live stream? Yeah, because he wants questions.
And I was like, wait, Billy wants to play video games on this and call his Twitch stream. Yeah, and have questions.
He wants to play Call of Duty and then turn that into a podcast. This is like when you ground your child and they're like, that's fine.
I'll stay in my room my room I got Nintendo in there I'm brainstorming to try to create

a creative piece

why don't you just read a book

I'm reading Moby Dick

my favorite passages

just talk about that

it's called entertaining clients

it's great to crack a beer to

you're not drinking

but you can if you're listening to it

so let's do a breath holding competition

that is a good name

entertaining clients

last thing

I mean, it's just last thing. I've already beat him two out of three times.
It's crazy that there's one button that Hank could press right now. So this is where I wanted to come in because I was traveling yesterday.
I was on a plane, and I was seeing these updates because it was getting live tweeted. Like, Billy just deleted the footage.
And at first, I I was like this is a work because in my head I I thought that the way that the system works is essentially Billy proof in that I was running through all the scenarios in my head where it's like what could have possibly happened where Billy deleted the video footage like it just didn't it didn't mathematically didn't make sense I couldn't I couldn't run in my head. And then once I found out how it happened, it's like a nuclear bomb where it's like, now that it's happened, I'm now worried.
You've done the impossible. You've managed to do the impossible.
I kind of want Billy to press the button right now and see what happens. I know if Hank presses the button right now, all of the, just from this recording, the Firefest recording, is going to be, not gone, but it's going to be severely damaged.
Let's not do that. That button right there.
It's the nuclear bomb. Do you want to point to it? No, don't even point at it.
Have you ever pushed that button, Hank? It's not to be pointed at it. Don't make the button angry.
What happens when you hit the button? The power's on or off.

All right.

So you guys do.

Jake does his fire fresh.

You guys hold your breath.

Ready?

Okay.

All right.

Wait, wait, wait.

I already beat him two out of three times.

That's true.

What are you, Dan Heron over here?

There's also no chance, Billy.

You're editing and putting the podcast out yourself.

That's part of the podcast.

Yeah.

Honestly, it's just OBS.

I know how to use it, then put it into Premiere. I'm not going to cut any of it because I need a lot of it.
And we're going to set out clips and upload it. Okay.
Jake, you're Firefest. Yeah.
I have my cousin's wedding in Florida this weekend. It looks like I'm flying right into a hurricane.
Oh, no. Oh.
Yeah. Not great.
We'll see if I get out. It's going to be – it's already past past Florida How close to you with this cousin? Like is it worth Pretty close Is it worth dying? Very close Is it worth dying? Yeah Really? Worth risking I did see some of the radar updates of this hurricane Yeah I'm just gonna say bonk to some of our female listeners Oh wow It looked like a.
It looked like a big dick and balls.

Like the projected path of this hurricane.

It was crazy.

Yeah, so hopefully it's not an issue.

But we'll see.

Haley, you just lost.

You didn't hold your breath at all.

Oh, PFT was holding his breath.

I held it for a little bit. He's speaking.

No, he was before he was.

I thought we were going to do a countdown.

Yeah, so a countdown.

Okay.

Do I have to beat him again?

Yeah, just beat him again.

Are you scared? Oh! I'm not scared. All right.
Ready? See, Billy's actually going to pass out rather than lose on this one. Three, two, one.
All right, Billy's holding his nose. PFT looks relaxed.
Billy's also got his eyes shut. Billy opened up.
It's very hard for him to lose at anything because he thinks that if he loses holding his breath that he's not a man anymore or something. I actually respect the fact that he deleted the footage.
Yeah, because he didn't want anyone to see it. I thought about doing that.
It's petty. Yeah, it's petty as fuck, but he was smart enough to be like, oh, I thought I was hitting the mic.
I'm just going to delete all this footage so no one can ever see the fact that PFT is more of a man than me. I also was thinking about it because I, two times, I'm like two for probably 600.
I've lost two interviews.

Oh, alright. Numbers.
I'll do 69. Could we get 44

three times in a row?

Yeah, that's a good question.

18. 69.

20. 17?

1. 17.
I already said it.

Oh, you already said it.

He's not breathing, Billy.

He's not breathing. I'm watching him.

He's not breathing.

35?

35.

20.

Billy, what's your number?

20.

Billy, what's your number?

Five.

Five.

No, six.

No.

Nine?

Nine?

Six?

Six?

69.

No, I already picked 69.

Oh.

So, you can't.

Unless you want to talk.

I mean, I picked 69.

So, what's your number?

One.

They're still going.

Oh, Billy almost just burped.

I think Billy just breathed.

I'm pretty sure he just breathed.

Broth.

Broth.

He just brothed.

I'm pretty sure he just brothed. This is not dead air.
They're just breathing. Oh, he's...
Let me feel underneath his nose. It's not dead air.
Well, it might be dead air. Billy dies.
Billy won that one. All right.
See, Billy was about to die. Yeah, he was.
So we're two and two now. All right.
Tiger's thumbs can lick off skin. Hank, have you ever gotten this? Nope.
What? I'm getting it right the fuck now, though. You are? Two, 12 again dude it's fucking every week wow that was the one with whitney so that's back to back because we did two last episodes 44 and 12 oh hank this has been literally never been an easier time to get this 44 44 12 12 wow Hank, there's never been an easier time to get this.
44-44-12-12. Wow.
Hank, there's never been an easier time to get this. PFT, did you accept your defeat? Well, it's tied.
You should probably do a rub brush. Yeah, we'll do a third match.
Right now, I'm technically still in the lead. No, it's 2-2.
No. We'll do another one.
Do you accept the tie? We'll do another one. Do you accept the tie? Yeah, sure.
I accept the tie. I don't particularly care if I'm better at holding my breath.
Well, you're sure. Well, he beat you 2-1.
As a matter of fact, I did beat you. Actually, that was a new three-game series.
He's up 1-0. So he is in the lead.
Oh, congrats, Billy. No, no, no.
No, PFT's in the lead. You have one series up on him.
Oh, yeah. I'm 1-0 in series.
Yeah, yeah. You're 1-0 in the second series.
Right, which that series isn't over. So PFT still is better than holding his breath than you.
That's just a fact. Cool.
Look, Billy, this is good. If you don't delete the footage here, that's growth.
I kind of want Billy to press the button. That's growth.
Let's not pretend like I was trying to delete the footage. I was trying to talk into the mic.
Hypothetically. You rage deleted.
So you're saying, you tried to rage quit the entire show. Thank you for that compliment.
I know how to use your switchboard and know a way that you didn't that would have malfunctioned the tape. I mean, it's pressing one button.
So I guess if that's your knowledge, yeah, you're very, very smart. Press the button.
Something that you didn't know. Press the button.
Three, two, one.
