Speaker 20 On today's part of my take, we have our good friend Max Homa, recurring guest, double Fortnite champion on the show, getting ready for President's Cup.

Speaker 19 We also have one question with a quarterback, a quarterback that might have played on Monday Night Football.

Speaker 19 We're going to talk about Monday Night Football. We have hot seat, cool throne.

Speaker 24 We have FAQs.

Speaker 26 We got a great show for everyone, Little College Football.

Speaker 28 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch Sauce, only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 3 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 12 Why?

Speaker 21 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 21 Now in the street, there is violence.

Speaker 21 And then a lot of soft work to be done.

Speaker 21 No place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 21 And then I can't blame all of the sounds. Oh, no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue.

Speaker 21 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 21 Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue.

Speaker 3 And then bar stay

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take presented by Game Time, the exclusive ticketing app for Barstool Sports.

Speaker 31 Use code PMT for your first purchase.

Speaker 19 Today is Wednesday, September 21st, and I don't want to overreact, PFT, but the Bills and Eagles are playing in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 I like the Bills.

Speaker 3 I do kind of like the Eagles, but I don't know how much to put in the Eagles being the Eagles versus Kirk Cousins being Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 12 The Eagles are him. I was fooled.

Speaker 3 Don't start with that.

Speaker 12 I was fooled.

Speaker 3 I was fooled last night, and I've been fooled by Kirk Cousins for the last time, for the last time. That was the last time that he's going to fool me for the last time.

Speaker 18 I was just happy that we saw that Kirk Cousins because people, Kirk Cousins defenders were getting a little uppity after week one.

Speaker 37 And let's just say one of those interceptions was, like, he had three picks.

Speaker 20 One was not his fault.

Speaker 29 That was Justin Jefferson. Troy Aikman actually perfectly pointed out, like, that's the biggest no-no right there a wide receiver ever did.

Speaker 29 And then the last one was the end of the game where he just, you know, threw it up.

Speaker 43 So what about the second one?

Speaker 12 The second one. The second one was bad.

Speaker 44 100% his fault.

Speaker 21 The last one at the end of the game.

Speaker 3 I'm also going to put that last one on Kirk Cousins because he tried to throw that interception three times.

Speaker 45 Right.

Speaker 3 And then it didn't work out the first two times. He said, fuck this.

Speaker 3 I'm going to give this ball to Slay because Slay deserves the game ball. And then he found him at the very end of it.

Speaker 37 But

Speaker 3 it's so frustrating. Right when.
Jay, can you please remind us on a weekly basis, do not believe in Kirk Cousins. Don't believe his lies.

Speaker 43 Yeah, because it was the perfect Kirk Cousins game where

Speaker 38 we said it a million times.

Speaker 20 When things are going well and the past protection is there and Kirk Cousins, you know, has his time and things don't get off script, he can look great.

Speaker 20 And then when the rush is there and he's checked down after check down and like panicking, he's Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 50 Like that, he's Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 21 That's all you got to say.

Speaker 3 That said, Jalen Hurts is fucking awesome.

Speaker 12 Awesome.

Speaker 3 Jalen Hurts is really good. And I love how every time he plays, they show the video of him squatting like 700 pounds in college.

Speaker 3 And then you have to go back and you remember the path that Jalen Hurts took to get to the NFL.

Speaker 3 Jalen Hurts, even though I'm a Washington fan and I've had a rivalry in my own brain with Philadelphia, even though it's not reciprocated, which is the saddest rivalry of all when you have one of those going.

Speaker 3 I'm conditioned to hate Eagles. I like Jalen Hurts.
Jalen Hurts is like the most likable dude in the NFL.

Speaker 35 He's one of the, I mean, just the way he handled the whole Alabama thing shows that he's a great dude and a great teammate.

Speaker 53 Like,

Speaker 6 there's a lot of guys that would have handled it very differently.

Speaker 42 And remember, he came in that SEC championship game and

Speaker 42 like rescued Tua after Tua had done the same for him in the national championship game.

Speaker 21 I also want to say, people know, but I have a very substantial future on the Eagles Super Bowl.

Speaker 19 It's already paid off because I got to watch that Monday Night Football game being like, I'm so smart.

Speaker 55 And the price went down enough now where I could be like, sharp bet.

Speaker 5 Even if they don't even make the playoffs, I'm going to be like, sharp bet.

Speaker 19 That was great. That's smart.

Speaker 52 Smart by me.

Speaker 38 Yeah. It went from 22 to 1 to like 14 to 1.

Speaker 3 I'd like to go as far as to personally apologize to Tua for, or it's not Tua, excuse me, to Jalen Hurts.

Speaker 44 That was a little Freudian song.

Speaker 12 Would you like to apologize to Tua?

Speaker 57 Jalen Hurts, Mac Jones.

Speaker 3 I don't have anything to apologize to Tua about.

Speaker 3 I'm a wait and see guy. Actually, what changed my mind about Tua was watching the reverse video where he's a righty.
That made me realize, yeah, Tua.

Speaker 12 That was awesome.

Speaker 40 I watched that video.

Speaker 4 I don't know if you guys saw it, but there is a video out there that just reversed the whole thing, and Tua looks like a righty.

Speaker 23 And it's like, oh, this guy's incredible.

Speaker 3 Yeah, college quarterbacks, left-handed, look sweet with the balls with the stripes on them. NFL quarterbacks who are left-handed look like...

Speaker 21 Goofy.

Speaker 3 They look like witches.

Speaker 12 Yeah, they look

Speaker 3 like witchcraft. So now that I'm able to kind of separate that, I'm able to appreciate Tua.
But as far as Jalen Hurts goes, I'd like to apologize for our stadium almost killing him last year.

Speaker 3 And actually, that's probably when I knew that he's a good guy that I want to root for.

Speaker 3 Like, the stadium fell down on him, and then he's helping out all the fans that just fell down, making sure that they're okay, and then signing autographs for him. I'm like, God damn, this guy's nice.

Speaker 18 And I love this Eagles team.

Speaker 17 They're fucking, they got guys everywhere.

Speaker 11 Dudes everywhere. I watched the games last night right after, put in a bet, Barcelona Sportsport, plus 1850.
Eagles-Bills Super Bowl.

Speaker 12 Oh.

Speaker 11 Anything less is an abject.

Speaker 21 That is the most recency bias ever, and I love it, Hank.

Speaker 11 No, they're both, they're both, they look, both look unbelievable. I don't know how either of these teams don't make the Super Bowl.

Speaker 12 Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 20 This is mean what you're doing now to me and Philly.

Speaker 42 As a Philadelphia representative this year, that's fucked up what you do.

Speaker 57 I'm supporting.

Speaker 21 Yeah, I know what you're doing.

Speaker 12 Dreams and Nightmares.

Speaker 58 I know these are the two fan bases you've gone to war against the most.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I know exactly what you're doing.

Speaker 11 I will say this about the Bills fans.

Speaker 57 I, like,

Speaker 11 I kind of said the Bengals were a similar story, but I just, at this point in my career, I've already seen Super Bowls. I've had all my teams win championships.
I've been through it all.

Speaker 11 I, when we're doing this podcast, watching all these games, I root for the teams with the good fan bases. Like, Los Angeles winning last year sucks.
Tampa Bay winning hockey sucks.

Speaker 11 Like, I would rather, since we're watching these sports anyway, I would rather the teams with the die-hard fan bases that haven't won in a long time win the games.

Speaker 11 It's better for everything. What about the Bills winning?

Speaker 57 And I do love Buffalo.

Speaker 11 We love going there. Great people, great time.
They love to party. It would be an unbelievable run.

Speaker 59 Question for you.

Speaker 60 The baseball playoffs coming up, teams that haven't won in a long time, not even been in the playoffs a long time, will you be rooting for the Seattle Mariners?

Speaker 12 No, they're not going to make the playoffs. Yeah, they are.
Are they?

Speaker 12 Yes, they are. We'll see.
TBD.

Speaker 48 They have like the best record in the last two months.

Speaker 11 I mean, they'll get bounced in the wild card, probably.

Speaker 23 Maybe outside the Dodgers.

Speaker 37 Dodgers 2015.

Speaker 11 They probably won't even sell out their playoff games.

Speaker 12 What do you say, Billy?

Speaker 63 Super Bowls in Arizona?

Speaker 12 Super Bowls in Arizona.

Speaker 36 Could they handle that tailgate?

Speaker 12 The Bills versus Eagles? No. No.

Speaker 21 The worlds can't handle it.

Speaker 3 I think Amsterdam is probably the only place that's equipped to handle that.

Speaker 22 They need to go to international waters for the Bills-Eagles Super Bowl.

Speaker 63 Maybe the distance might prevent too much traveling.

Speaker 21 No, definitely not.

Speaker 25 No, are those two fan bases?

Speaker 62 There will be a study done.

Speaker 31 If the Bills make the Super Bowl, there'd be a study 20 years from now, all these kids in Buffalo not being able to afford college because their parents took out credit cards in their names to go to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 11 Or there will just be

Speaker 11 a major increase in people from Buffalo that just stay in Arizona. Yeah, yeah, they'll just never leave.

Speaker 3 They'll never have the money to get to the fact that they spent all their, they emptied their bank accounts to get to Arizona.

Speaker 3 There also might be a lot of people that just, um, there should be an amnesty for people quitting their jobs in Buffalo.

Speaker 3 It's like, yeah, you can quit your job for these two weeks if you want to go to the Super Bowl, enjoy it, and then come back. We'll pretend like it didn't happen.

Speaker 3 Schools will be closed down for two weeks in Buffalo if they make the Super Bowl.

Speaker 29 It was crazy watching those two games because they were basically a mirror image of themselves where Josh Allen was out of this world, Stephon Diggs out of this world, three touchdowns, like 140 yards or whatever it was, and you had Ryan Tannehill then throwing just, you know, terrible picks and looking like Ryan Tannehill.

Speaker 39 And then you flip over and it's Jalen Hurts having an insane first half and Kirk Cousins being Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 44 It was a complete whomping by the Eagles and the Bills.

Speaker 12 I don't...

Speaker 38 I walked away from both being like, I don't think the Vikings and Titans are that bad.

Speaker 41 I just think the Eagles and Bills are that good.

Speaker 12 Especially the Bills.

Speaker 61 The Bills are a total juggernaut.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the Bills are awesome. Ryan Tannehill is going back to being Ryan Tannehill.

Speaker 3 I'm sure that he'll have like a nice little six-game stretch this season where he makes me kind of re-evaluate whether or not he's still Ryan Tannehill. Yeah.

Speaker 3 But as of right now, he is, and their offense looks, they look a lot less dynamic without having A.J.

Speaker 55 Brown out there.

Speaker 43 And I like Burks, but yeah, it's very different.

Speaker 20 And watching A.J.

Speaker 24 Brown and this Eagles offense, the Eagles just have like dudes.

Speaker 44 It felt like no one covered anyone for the Vikings.

Speaker 35 Like the Vikings just, their game plan was like, let's let the Eagles just run free and hope it works.

Speaker 12 And it didn't work.

Speaker 66 Also, I want to,

Speaker 42 we have defended the city of Minnesota or the state of Minnesota, the city of Minneapolis, and their sports hell that they've been in.

Speaker 20 But I have something that I have to push back on.

Speaker 46 Minnesota, what the fuck are you doing not retiring Randy Moss's number?

Speaker 12 Oh, yeah, number 44.

Speaker 25 Smith, dropping that ball that was a clear touchdown that could have changed

Speaker 7 the scope of the game and how it was being played.

Speaker 34 That's on you.

Speaker 21 The fact that you have someone, a tight end, wearing 84 Randy Moss's number, I don't want to say it, Hank, but bad sports town.

Speaker 18 That's a bad sports town move to not retire one of the greatest wide receivers of all time.

Speaker 34 Probably if you've polled Vikings fans, Vikings fans' favorite player of all time, and you have fucking Irv Smith wearing it, dropping balls, wide open touchdowns, that's crazy.

Speaker 3 The following numbers have been retired by the Minnesota Vikings. Fran Targenton, number 10.
Mick Tinglehoff, number 53.

Speaker 45 No, don't be great.

Speaker 12 He's a great player.

Speaker 3 Tinglehoff. Jim Marshall, number 70.

Speaker 3 Corey Stringer. Okay, get it.

Speaker 27 Chris Carter, number 80.

Speaker 3 And then Alan Page, 88.

Speaker 19 Chris John Randall?

Speaker 3 No, John Randall retired.

Speaker 61 What are you doing, Viking?

Speaker 3 It's sad.

Speaker 3 Chris Carter, ahead of Randy Moss, I understand that Chris Carter was was

Speaker 3 Mr. Viking, but Randy Moss is the greatest wide receiver of all time.

Speaker 36 I still have Jerry Rice, but yeah.

Speaker 52 Whatever.

Speaker 19 We debate those forever, yeah.

Speaker 44 I go back and forth.

Speaker 29 I actually have said both.

Speaker 12 I think

Speaker 3 you have to say, like, Randy Moss is the most talented. Right.
Jerry Rice

Speaker 5 is the best.

Speaker 12 Yeah, you got those conversations.

Speaker 3 I hope that we agree with that.

Speaker 12 But yeah, how do you not have it retired?

Speaker 3 It is weird. It's very, very strange.

Speaker 9 And you have this, like, that is just karma.

Speaker 20 That guy, Irv Smith, was meant to drop that ball because you fucking have Randy Moss's number running down the sideline on a Monday night football.

Speaker 3 I actually just think that a guy named Irv, you never want to throw a pass to a guy named Irv. Yeah.
Bad vibes. Slow vibes from Irv.

Speaker 21 So I don't know where,

Speaker 53 again, it is like knee-jerk.

Speaker 18 I think the Eagle, or sorry, the Bills' knee-jerk reaction is totally warranted that they are the best team in the NFL right now.

Speaker 40 They've looked unstoppable.

Speaker 42 And this actually goes back to their playoff run because, because, again, that Chiefs game, like, that was their defense, not Josh Allen on the offense.

Speaker 12 He played perfect football. So I don't know how you, like, how do you, what you hope for weather, I guess.

Speaker 47 Like, the Bills look completely, and Gabe Davis wasn't even playing.

Speaker 3 They've won their last 20 or their last 20 games by double digits. Their last 20 victories

Speaker 3 have been double-digit victories, which is just insane.

Speaker 3 They didn't punt until the third quarter of their second game. And when they did punt, it hit the other guy guy in the face and they recovered it.
Yes.

Speaker 47 And

Speaker 6 the Bills are getting into that territory of it looks like

Speaker 60 a powerful, it looks like Oklahoma playing Tulsa every weekend.

Speaker 38 You know what I mean? Like,

Speaker 48 the mismatch just feels so large.

Speaker 12 And I guess we'll see what happens when Tua, the hottest quarterback in the world, goes and plays the Bills this weekend.

Speaker 26 But I don't think you can overstate how good the Bills are.

Speaker 3 There's no O in Allen's last names.

Speaker 3 That on paper, as far as the system goes, that's a system play towards the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 21 Whose line is it anyway?

Speaker 19 What's that line?

Speaker 16 Is it in Buffalo?

Speaker 27 In Buffalo, I think, right?

Speaker 58 Nope, it's at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Speaker 57 That line is.

Speaker 3 Wait, last year, you remember the Bills went to Florida, bad times.

Speaker 11 Bills minus two and a half.

Speaker 12 No, I think it's four.

Speaker 17 It's got to be Bills minus Bills.

Speaker 12 Five and a half. Five and a half.

Speaker 17 That was close.

Speaker 29 Six. Yeah,

Speaker 21 that'll be ended six.

Speaker 3 I kind of like the Dolphins.

Speaker 12 That's a juicy, hungry dog.

Speaker 3 Did you see Mike Vrabel after the game?

Speaker 3 He was walking through the concourse, and there was a fan that yelled at him. It was before the game.
Oh, it was before the game.

Speaker 3 There was a fan that yelled at him, hey, Sean McDermott could take you. And Vrabel was like, no, he couldn't.
So as far as

Speaker 3 that sound bite from McDermott goes, he was joking around, but I think that even joking around, he can get under Vrabel doesn't like to hear that from anybody. Yeah.

Speaker 3 That anybody thinks that they could take him. But now I want to see the fight.

Speaker 24 Yeah, and I feel bad for Vrabel because it does, I mean, the Titans are clearly like trading A.J.

Speaker 19 Brown and drafting Malik Willis.

Speaker 20 Like, hey, we're going to, we're going to slowly transition here.

Speaker 29 This might be something that's not sustainable because we keep going to the playoffs and Ryan Tannehill happens.

Speaker 1 So it's going to be a tough year for the Titans.

Speaker 4 Like, I don't really, I don't, it doesn't feel, that was a game that the Titans a couple years ago go in and win as like 10-point underdogs because they always would rise to those occasions, and they were never in that game.

Speaker 12 Like, that was an absolute beatdown.

Speaker 3 I did like getting to see Malik Willis at at the end of the game, though.

Speaker 24 Yeah, and Case Keenum.

Speaker 61 The Bills are doing an entire quarter of backups.

Speaker 25 That's so ridiculous in the NFL.

Speaker 63 Is Derrick Henry found out?

Speaker 12 Well, I think he's just getting to play him. Hold him.

Speaker 12 Getting solved him?

Speaker 44 I think two things.

Speaker 38 He's getting older, and there's no A.J.

Speaker 30 Brown to stretch the field.

Speaker 19 And maybe three things, they're off. I mean, our boy Taylor Luan, I hope he's okay, might have been another ACL, which sucks.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the league has figured out Derrick Henry.

Speaker 12 Or that.

Speaker 3 And it's just that, tackle him. You know what? You got to put eight guys in the box.
Yeah. That's how they figured it out.
Yeah.

Speaker 49 And

Speaker 20 I mean, Josh Allen's the new no-one-can-tackle him guy.

Speaker 68 It's like

Speaker 3 he figures out new ways to jump over people every week. So he did some of the hurdles last year.
This week he was doing like one-footed pirouettes. He had like side hurdles.

Speaker 3 While like kicking his leg over a guy's head and then landing on his other, on his other foot, he's just figuring out different ways to extend plays at the end of it.

Speaker 3 He did do that thing where at the end of a fourth down play, he just tried to throw the ball.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Just max all the buttons.

Speaker 3 He hit all the buttons at once, and then he fell down as he was throwing the ball, almost got intercepted.

Speaker 3 That was the low light of the Bills' night last night.

Speaker 12 That was it.

Speaker 3 They didn't convert one fourth down and like two yards. And besides that, it was a perfect game.

Speaker 3 Another highlight of the game was Dan Orlovsky potentially farting in the announcer's box, farting and sneezing at the same time.

Speaker 3 As they were going through the pregame warm-ups.

Speaker 3 I want to see the tape because there is tape, right? Yeah. Like, they do have a camera that's on the announcers.
So somebody had to have been watching that feed at some point last night.

Speaker 3 If you saw Dan Orlofsky just blow, rip a juicy one into his microphone in pregame, please send that to us.

Speaker 42 And Dan, I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, but the fart-sneeze combo, that doesn't happen to a guy who jerks off regularly.

Speaker 18 Yeah. Because your body's just looking to have something escape from it.

Speaker 42 Dan. And it's like, I need to get something out of a hole.

Speaker 3 Sneeze-fart. Dan, maybe next time you're in the booth for a Titans game, you ask them to blur out the first three letters of that team's name.

Speaker 12 He's getting all horned up on Randy.

Speaker 43 Max, we should...

Speaker 20 Actually, we talked to Max Homa, so we'll call you back, girl.

Speaker 29 That was Max Homa's request.

Speaker 44 You are an Eagles fan.

Speaker 19 How are you feeling?

Speaker 48 Knowing that Hank just tried to jinx us.

Speaker 45 I don't give a fuck about Hank.

Speaker 10 That was a clear strategy by him, and it won't affect me at all. This has been the best day ever.

Speaker 45 Obviously,

Speaker 10 it's a week-to-week league, and right now we're winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 12 I watched

Speaker 10 one of those things where I went to sleep at like 2 a.m. and just watched every single highlight of the game and was looking for every piece of analysis.

Speaker 10 I went on the podcast app this morning and was just watching, listening to Random Eagles podcasts.

Speaker 45 I love it.

Speaker 10 From people I've never heard. It's the best feeling waking up after a game like this.

Speaker 12 Yes, it really is.

Speaker 11 I'll give Philadelphia another compliment because it was playing the Vikings.

Speaker 11 I think it's great when a city can have one single video that encapsulates an entire fan base and the kid screaming at the lady after the Vikings game, Go Bar.

Speaker 36 That was the NFC championship game, yeah.

Speaker 11 Is one of the funniest videos of all time. And it literally, like, that is every Eagles fan in my mind is that guy.

Speaker 12 And it's so funny.

Speaker 48 It's also great in sports when you have the random one team owns another that they don't play that often.

Speaker 19 And the Eagles just completely own the Vikings.

Speaker 12 Like, completely own them.

Speaker 48 You know, like, it's one thing, obviously, like, the Packers own the Bears, but they play twice a year.

Speaker 38 It just feels like every time the Eagles and Vikings color combo matches, it's like, yeah, the Eagles are going to kill them.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the video that you're talking about, the look on that kid's face, he's just a kid that knows with 100% certainty that there will be zero consequences to anything that he's saying.

Speaker 3 So he's getting right up in that lady's face.

Speaker 3 He becomes not human for a second. He just like changes.
He becomes pure Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's like when you see people in church speaking in tongues, the power of the Lord talking through them. That's what this guy is doing, but it's just for the vibe of Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's Philadelphia.

Speaker 6 If Philadelphia was a drug, and then you get like the stepped-on version, where it's like little baby powder mixed in, where Philly fans are kind of jerks, but they can be regular humans every now and then.

Speaker 65 That was just pure, like, untouched Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 It was uncut Philly. It was, yeah.

Speaker 3 What's the word for that?

Speaker 27 Philtanol?

Speaker 12 Philtanol. Filtanol.
Yeah, there we go. Got it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I'll workshop on that.

Speaker 11 One other thing, Vicat,

Speaker 11 I mean, you guys can relate to this too, but I mistakenly bet on the Vikings' money line, and I turned the game on one.

Speaker 11 I don't even think, I think it was one snap from Kirk Cousins. I literally was like, primetime, Kirk Cousins, I'm such a fucking idiot.
Like, it wasn't, it was over the second they had one play.

Speaker 20 And it was also the Eagles' first drive, where it was like, I think they got maybe a holding penalty, and they went to like first and 20s.

Speaker 12 Like, that's not a problem.

Speaker 3 I can tell the second I watch Kirk Cousins in primetime, too. I, right, Hank, what you're saying, when you tune in and you're so mad at myself.

Speaker 3 And his shoulder pads go up higher than they normally do so it looks like his head is sunk into his body a little bit more and he's standing back in the pocket he panics he goes off his first read and then he throws a ball that's maybe like one yard in front of the line of scrimmage that guy gets like three yards and that's what it's going to be for the rest of the night and that's what kirk cousins is going to do and he's and it's so infuriating and i've i've fallen into this trap like it happens it it happens probably twice a season now to me and i just need to i need to go cold turkey away from kirk cousins i think america needs to quit kirk Cousins.

Speaker 20 Yeah, and he's, I think it's 2-10 in primetime, the two wins being against the Bears, which I know Vikings fans, they love to be like, how about Justin Fields?

Speaker 19 Like, hey, dude, Justin Fields doesn't even like the fan base.

Speaker 54 So, yeah, I agree. Like, we got problems.

Speaker 12 But

Speaker 59 at least I'm honest about my problems, whereas Kirk Cousins fans delude themselves into thinking he's something that he's not.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Coach Siriani, coach of the year.

Speaker 52 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Tried to tell you.

Speaker 3 I mean, he looks like

Speaker 12 I'm Philly Dan this year.

Speaker 17 fucking, I'm happy I made this bet because at least I have a team that can play competent football that I can like turn on the TV and be like, go birds.

Speaker 37 And then Justin Fields does that.

Speaker 42 By the way, that press conference, obviously, people were upset because Justin Fields, I think he was like, we care more in this locker room than the fans.

Speaker 21 And people got, like, I actually, I'm fine with that.

Speaker 19 Like, I think the players probably, I'd prefer them to care. very, very much and be upset when they lose.

Speaker 3 He goes to work every day with guys that are working hard, that are like tackling each other, putting in blood, sweat, and tears, and shit.

Speaker 3 Of course, he's going to be like, Yeah, I care about my teammates more than I care about the fans. That's fine.
The only thing is, you shouldn't say it.

Speaker 7 Yeah, no, it was a leading question.

Speaker 48 The question was, does losing to this team, does it sting more because of this rivalry and how much Bears fans want to win this game?

Speaker 53 And he's like, We really want to win this game as players.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 29 I'm happy he wants to win the game very badly, but he should, Justin Fields should, like, on the bye week, maybe watch a game with some Bears fans and be like, Look, this is like, or maybe we can just, like, play an old game for him and be like, see how painful this is for us.

Speaker 65 Yeah.

Speaker 26 Like, you walk a mile in our shoes and just try to figure out, like, you go through the physical pain, but we go through the mental torture of having to root for this franchise.

Speaker 3 I think it's just a young quarterback saying something that he'll learn that he shouldn't say out loud. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Because I bet if you asked anybody else in the league, any, or most players in the league, like, do you care more about your teammates or do you care about the fans that you don't know?

Speaker 3 They'll be like, well, my teammates are my friends. Right.

Speaker 12 Like, I like them. I go to war with them.

Speaker 3 I go to war with them and I hang out with them and they're my life.

Speaker 21 But fans do pay the bills.

Speaker 3 Fans do pay the bills.

Speaker 19 No league without the fans.

Speaker 12 I remember.

Speaker 3 I think most players would, in a moment of honesty, say, yes, I care more about my teammates, but you just shouldn't say it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 It's unspoken. Fans, we know, at the end of the day, we're idiots for spending so much time worrying about you as athletes and like investing our heart, our egos, our sense of self-worth, everything.

Speaker 3 Everything we put into games. It's objectively stupid for us to do this.
Correct. We know that.
We just don't need you to tell it to point it out. To remind us, because then we feel like idiots.

Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 20 And it was also just a perfect story because I escaped Sunday Night Football being like, that wasn't the most embarrassing thing ever.

Speaker 19 And then Justin Fields' comments like, you know, hit the internet and everyone was making fun of Bears fans.

Speaker 43 So

Speaker 36 you know who does care?

Speaker 29 Shout out. We just got to give him a shout out.

Speaker 20 Our boy Barstool Lenny.

Speaker 42 He tweeted.

Speaker 19 He's like, sorry to all my fantasy owners.

Speaker 20 Touchdown's coming soon.

Speaker 12 That's fucking cool.

Speaker 3 Okay, we got to bet on them then. Yeah, we got a bet on

Speaker 3 the winter for net touchdown this week.

Speaker 29 Touchdowns coming soon.

Speaker 19 Okay, let's do, we'll do a little college football, then we'll do hot seat, cool throne.

Speaker 3 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 3 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 3 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 19 College football.

Speaker 37 Georgia is so good.

Speaker 3 They're an NFL team. Georgia.

Speaker 27 They're the Bills. Their defense is an NFL defense.

Speaker 3 It's just three years away from being an NFL defense.

Speaker 12 It's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 It's so good. That That dude, Malachi Starks,

Speaker 3 I think he could play in the NFL right now as a freshman.

Speaker 12 They all could.

Speaker 12 I mean,

Speaker 6 I'm already believing in Stetson Bennett being an NFL quarterback.

Speaker 19 That's how good they are.

Speaker 12 Cover all the dogs.

Speaker 20 And we also had Herm Edwards get fired literally on the field.

Speaker 21 So

Speaker 3 I tweeted that out. I've had a bunch of people reply both ways to me.
Some people are saying I'm spreading fake news. I just saw somebody tweet out that he got fired on the field.

Speaker 3 So I watched the video and then I was like, oh, shit, yeah. Thoughts and prayers prayers to Herm Edwards.
It looks like he got fired on the field. He definitely did.

Speaker 3 If he didn't get fired on the field, then I don't know what conversation they had because he walked away.

Speaker 3 I've never seen a man walk away with a more I just got fired face, and I've never seen another guy walk away with a more, I'm really sorry that I just had to fire that guy.

Speaker 38 Yeah, and I'm also relieved that it's over with.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 19 Because it was, it was, they probably went and had a long talk after, but it was essentially Herm Edwards walking up to the AD, and I don't know who else was there.

Speaker 3 I think it's the school president.

Speaker 37 It's me, the school president, yeah.

Speaker 62 So he walks up to him, and I think Herm Edwards is like, that was a tough game.

Speaker 29 We just lost to Eastern Michigan.

Speaker 41 And it felt like the AD was like, yeah, real tough.

Speaker 29 We're going to have to do something different.

Speaker 12 Going a different direction. Yeah.

Speaker 19 And so then they walked off.

Speaker 3 They're like, yeah, that means you're fired. So

Speaker 3 the Herm Edwards tenure will be remembered for being like.

Speaker 3 Better than expected in year one.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I think that's

Speaker 3 that's kind of like the thing that if you look back on, you're like, yeah, it was okay for one year.

Speaker 3 And then everything that I've read about Arizona State is just, the program is like falling apart behind the scenes. Yeah.
And those are always weird.

Speaker 3 Like, you never really find out exactly why it was so bad until six months down the line, eight months down the line when they do the full like

Speaker 3 post-mortem article about what happened to Arizona State football. But from what I've seen so far, it's like Herm

Speaker 3 did not care that much about, he's too much of a people person. So he didn't care about the recruiting rules.

Speaker 3 If there was like a recruit around him, he was going to go talk to that person and then, you know, be Herm Edwards because that's what he does.

Speaker 9 And he also, I mean, we said this when he got hired.

Speaker 37 He was a coach who's been in media for a very long time.

Speaker 29 College football coaching is not, it's not easy.

Speaker 47 You have to like live it and breathe it all the time.

Speaker 38 So whenever a guy goes from being semi-retired for an extended period of time, like, okay, now you have to go and fly.

Speaker 47 You have to go win a game.

Speaker 29 And then the minute you win a game, you have to get on the phone and talk to an 18-year-old or 17-year-old.

Speaker 55 That's not like fun.

Speaker 6 That's a lot different than doing some hits on ESPN and playing golf all day.

Speaker 34 So I never thought it was going to work.

Speaker 25 But we did have that first year where it felt like he was doing something.

Speaker 61 It did work.

Speaker 12 Yeah, for

Speaker 3 a very brief period of time. So now

Speaker 3 that opening has entered into the Urban Meyer discussion as well.

Speaker 3 And if you know what the Sun Devil's hand symbol is, I feel like Urban's probably the front runner in that conversation.

Speaker 18 But urban, Nebraska urban rumors are hot.

Speaker 29 I'm deathly afraid of that happening because Urban Meyer will make Nebraska really, really good and maybe win a national championship because outside of Sabin, he's the best college coach alive right now.

Speaker 3 Counterpoint, though, how satisfying would it be to watch him fail at Nebraska?

Speaker 12 It would.

Speaker 61 That would be pretty good.

Speaker 33 But you know what he's going to do is he's going to get, he'll do the press conference and be like, I always loved Nebraska.

Speaker 30 Nebraska's football.

Speaker 12 Like, we're going to run the ball.

Speaker 42 And he'll just, he'll figure out a way to make them great because he's done it literally every stop that he's had.

Speaker 39 So, yeah, I'm very afraid of this.

Speaker 19 I would prefer it be like Matt Rule in Nebraska because

Speaker 39 I know Matt Rule no matter what, I can still make fun of him for spitting on himself.

Speaker 3 So if Urban Meyer goes to Nebraska and he tries to, and he does turn around, we're going to get to Urban Meyer Redemption story within record time because when he got fired from the Jaguars, he was like, he was unhireable.

Speaker 3 Yeah. And so then it's about six months later.
eight months later, and all of a sudden he's the hottest name.

Speaker 3 It just goes to show you that if you're a big state school, you will throw whatever sense of morality you have at the window.

Speaker 3 Let's win some football games.

Speaker 9 Urban Meyer at Nebraska, I'm confidently saying they will be in a college football playoff.

Speaker 2 And I would say if he stays there, if you told me he's staying there for 10 years, I'd say they'd win a national championship.

Speaker 34 He's that good of a coach.

Speaker 35 Like, he's proven it. He made Utah really fucking good.

Speaker 68 Florida, you know, then going to Ohio State.

Speaker 6 Like, all he does is win.

Speaker 20 I do, the one thing that would be really cool if Nebraska did, and Andy Staples, our friend, pointed this out, and they really, they're the only school that can do it because Nebraska had everyone in Nebraska, the Nebraska fan base, they are, you know, steeped in history, and it's like the Tom Osborne years and winning national titles.

Speaker 19 It would be so cool if Nebraska just hired Jeff Monken from Army and ran the triple option with like elite athletes because no one I would love to just see the triple option with elite athletes and how much it would fuck everyone up.

Speaker 20 Because I don't know how you would defend it if you had like five-star dudes buying in to triple option.

Speaker 11 You're obsessed with triple option.

Speaker 12 No, the triple option is.

Speaker 61 Triple option is fucking best, dude.

Speaker 3 You can't. Triple option is so.

Speaker 12 They don't use it for a reason.

Speaker 61 No, what are you talking about? Army uses it.

Speaker 35 Army, Air Force, Navy.

Speaker 63 Ferris State won the D2 championship using it.

Speaker 40 Triple option, but Hank, triple option is used because Army, Navy, and Air Force, they want, I think they changed the rule, but for a while, they couldn't have offensive linemen over a certain weight.

Speaker 37 So they needed guys just cut blocking and beating them with scheme.

Speaker 5 I'm saying if you had, like if Alabama just started running the triple option with their athletes, they would kill everyone.

Speaker 44 And it would be so much fun to watch.

Speaker 3 There's a small difference between that and the single wing offense, right?

Speaker 3 The single wing offense is similar to the triple option, except they can snap the ball to any guy at any given time, which is like an evolution. That's what I want to see.

Speaker 3 I want to see, I think you could get... elite athletes to buy into the single wing because it does have like a little bit more spice to it and it's not just power football all the time.

Speaker 5 I want the Bears to run the triple option. We already have a triple option quarterback throwing 11 times a game.

Speaker 60 That's perfect.

Speaker 12 Like, we've done the hard part.

Speaker 3 Don't pass. What's that look, Billy?

Speaker 63 Technically, you could run a triple option out of the single wing.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah. See, so it encompasses everything.
It's like

Speaker 3 the triple option on steroids.

Speaker 61 Yeah, but Nebraska is.

Speaker 3 Which is Nebraska football.

Speaker 42 Nebraska is the one school where if you told their fan base we're running the triple option, they'd be like, thank God we're back.

Speaker 21 Yeah, it'd be good.

Speaker 3 I mean, you just need like a, all they got to do is recruit like a really fast 5'9 quarterback, have him throw it 10 times a game and then just run the ball down everyone's throat i still think they're cursed for not recruiting danny woodhead yeah that was a big mistake yeah he was just down the street he was he was right there you missed out ever since you you let him walk to what was it uh north platte where you missed out yeah you missed out chadron high school um but uh college football we're getting conference play starting up um

Speaker 19 I'm very, Wisconsin plays Ohio State this weekend, so please just leave me alone, everyone. That's going to suck so bad.

Speaker 52 Shout out syracuse syracuse 3-0 3-0 and kansas and

Speaker 12 duke kansas duke play each other this weekend i believe what a mess they do they're both undefeated that's great yeah they should they should have moved that to like the like late november and just had like a double-headed

Speaker 3 champions classic yeah madison square garden kansas duke in football yeah that would have been fun i think jmu pft is gonna is going to win so jay the sun belt jmu is like the best offensive team in the country somehow now we've only played two games but I think we're just behind.

Speaker 3 We might be just behind Michigan and that's it.

Speaker 11 I think it's an all-time letdown spot for Appalachian State.

Speaker 12 I mean after they kind of had their letdown spot, they almost lost Detroit.

Speaker 3 But then they got back up again. Right.

Speaker 3 So now it's another letdown.

Speaker 11 That was the winning on a Hail Mary is a high.

Speaker 55 But the game day after Texas A ⁇ M was the letdown spot.

Speaker 37 But

Speaker 57 they continued on that.

Speaker 33 Yeah, no, I get it, but I'm just saying, like, that was.

Speaker 3 They're due for a letdown.

Speaker 12 Okay.

Speaker 12 Appalachian State. They didn't have a letdown.

Speaker 21 They are the most exciting.

Speaker 3 It's exciting team in the country.

Speaker 12 The way that they play every single week. It's crazy.

Speaker 68 They lost to UNC.

Speaker 38 No, but they won.

Speaker 12 No, I know. I know.

Speaker 7 But that was the scare of the letdown.

Speaker 62 Like, that was, they won on an insane way.

Speaker 26 Which, I think that will, but that is a coach, like, coach could be like, you guys lost that game.

Speaker 18 Get back in there and work.

Speaker 26 Where if they'd killed Troy, I'd be like, yeah, real letdown spot.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but it was, it's coming off having game day there and everything. I do think that it might be a letdown spot.
So Appalachian State actually got 77 votes to be in the top 25.

Speaker 45 They deserve it.

Speaker 3 If JMU beats them by like 10 points in Boone, I feel like JMU might be ranked in their first season.

Speaker 3 Who have they played, though? Nobody. Absolutely nobody.

Speaker 3 But if they beat Appalachian State, who has, what, 77 votes to be in the poll?

Speaker 24 Right.

Speaker 3 If they smoke them in Boone, it's not out of this world to think that they could be ranked.

Speaker 37 Is Appalachian State ranked?

Speaker 3 Appalachian State has 77 votes.

Speaker 3 So they would be ranked number 28 in the country.

Speaker 52 I think

Speaker 54 they'd probably have to win a couple more.

Speaker 55 I'm just telling you, that is how the voters work.

Speaker 12 Maybe.

Speaker 47 Maybe you got to win.

Speaker 5 I mean, the fact that Appalachia State beat Texas AM

Speaker 3 that we're even having the conversation about it, though, is still kind of surreal.

Speaker 17 Well, you started the conversation. Yeah.

Speaker 12 That's smart. That was smart right here.
But we're discussing this. The fact that we're even talking about this.

Speaker 3 It's crazy.

Speaker 12 We're discussing it.

Speaker 24 That's a genius thing.

Speaker 19 Okay, should we do hot seat, cool throne?

Speaker 3 Texas A ⁇ M, one more thing about them. Yeah.
I think I've gone full circle on the Yell Eaters. I think I kind of like them now.

Speaker 19 Oh, man.

Speaker 3 Because they're so bad. Yeah.
They keep going reviral, and the videos keep going out. They keep leaking out there despite Texas A ⁇ M's best efforts to delete them.

Speaker 3 And they're so bad now that I think that they're good.

Speaker 39 And

Speaker 48 the fact they're taking it down, though, makes it like...

Speaker 51 That's the lame part.

Speaker 12 It is.

Speaker 61 Yeah, that's the lamest part.

Speaker 52 Like, if you just embrace that that's what you are, a weird cult, I think that I would land more on your side, but they're like actively trying to DMCA everyone.

Speaker 12 So, like, what are you doing?

Speaker 3 If you have to repeatedly tell people that you're not a cult every week, chances are you're probably a cult. Yeah.

Speaker 3 But it is, it's funny how Texas AM and those videos in particular are serving the purpose of making Notre Dame actually look like youthful and edgy. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Notre Dame is like, yeah, this is a cool program that I'd want to go to. Marcus Freeman's in trouble.

Speaker 12 Yeah, a little bit.

Speaker 54 He might not be a good coach.

Speaker 42 I'm actually going to say that he's not.

Speaker 63 Quick question on the Midnight Yale guys. Are they reciting chance that they replace the names and mascots every week, or are they making those up new every week?

Speaker 63 Because some of them are really weird and outdated.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's a good question, Billy. I don't really care to know the answer to it.

Speaker 19 I don't want to know the answer.

Speaker 20 It's like looking too much into Scientology. Yeah, I don't want to get into it.

Speaker 3 Because I'm sure that once I find out that old red that works down at the general store that tries to sell people laughing stocks every week, that's one of their jokes that they always use.

Speaker 3 Every time I get closer to finding out exactly what that's all about, I think I'm getting closer to joining the cult than it is, Texas A ⁇ M.

Speaker 39 And it's one of those things that if I, you know, I'm a big believer that if you take in new information, you lose old information.

Speaker 19 I don't want more information on Texas A ⁇ M to like replace some, you know, sick, stone-cold

Speaker 19 wrestling match from like the late 90s.

Speaker 12 I don't want to lose that.

Speaker 3 With Texas A ⁇ M.

Speaker 3 What I'm also worried about, though, is I don't like how this is becoming such a recurring joke at their expense because I think that there's a chance that they're going to stop doing it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And then

Speaker 3 I think if this keeps going down there, you remember

Speaker 3 the gathering of the juggalos almost got ruined because journalists paid too much attention to them every year. I don't want this to fall into that same.

Speaker 3 I want Texas AM to keep doing their weird cult-like behaviors so that I can continue to make fun of them from afar. I don't want them to change their traditions.
Yes.

Speaker 29 Keep being weird, keep being a cult.

Speaker 19 Um, okay, hot seat, cool throne.

Speaker 72 Aldi is now on Uber Eats. So, whether your fridge is empty and you're too tired to shop, or you just ran out of essential ingredients, don't worry, we got you.

Speaker 72 Get 40% off your first Aldi order on Uber Eats with code new Aldi25. Orders $30 or more, save up to $25, and it's 1231.
See out for details.

Speaker 19 Hank, hot seat, cool throne.

Speaker 3 Sorry, I was just looking at the Water Dogs Championship merch.

Speaker 57 Oh, hell yes.

Speaker 11 One second. My hot seat is Yankees fans.
Oh.

Speaker 11 Why? Aaron Judge

Speaker 11 is going for the record.

Speaker 12 Yep.

Speaker 11 And if he breaks it on Friday, it will be on Apple TV.

Speaker 12 Oh, no. I love that.

Speaker 3 Oh. I love that for them so much.
Way to stay relevant in baseball. Damn.

Speaker 11 The other fun little wrinkle with that is that foul ball guy has made it his mission to try and catch Aaron Judge's 62nd home run and Pooh Holes' 700.

Speaker 40 He'd have to retire.

Speaker 12 Well, Pooh's isn't going to hit 700, but he'd have to retire. I think he is.
No,

Speaker 20 they keep throwing fucking meatballs, softball practice.

Speaker 41 That would be, he would be the goat of all goats if he did that.

Speaker 52 And he already is.

Speaker 12 Think about the odds of that happening.

Speaker 21 He would be one of two.

Speaker 3 It's impossible. If he gets one of two, it's still the most, like, calling your shot on that is the most impressive stunt of all time.
Fuck.

Speaker 21 There's no chance.

Speaker 3 There's zero chance. And if he does get it, if he does get it, we need to.
The foul ball guy, the name is just, it's such a misleading. He's the home run king.
He's a home run king at that point.

Speaker 7 I would say,

Speaker 9 like, if you just said that as any human being, there's 0% chance.

Speaker 20 Foulball guy, there's always a chance.

Speaker 30 That guy does miracles.

Speaker 11 My other hot seed is Avatar.

Speaker 24 Oh. This has been pissing me off

Speaker 11 as football has been on national TV broadcasts. Probably millions of dollars to run these commercials.
I liked Avatar. I was a huge fan of the first one.
I've seen it a bunch of times.

Speaker 11 The first time I saw the commercial, I was like, oh shit, Avatar 2. Let's go.

Speaker 11 They're just putting Avatar back in theaters. Yeah.

Speaker 11 Like 10 years after it came out.

Speaker 63 That's to refresh everyone's memory for the new one.

Speaker 3 Because nobody remembers any characters or any of the plot from the original Avatar.

Speaker 21 But it's just like.

Speaker 12 The studio

Speaker 11 made so much money the first time, the studios were just like, fuck it.

Speaker 12 Run it back.

Speaker 40 And guess what? We'll watch it.

Speaker 57 I don't think so. I hope not.
Why don't

Speaker 3 studios do this more often with just like every classic movie?

Speaker 21 Yeah. But it's not, it's been 10 years.

Speaker 42 I'd see good fellas in a fucking movie theater.

Speaker 12 A million people wouldn't. Yes, I would.

Speaker 63 Matt Damon described how new movies aren't as good because of streaming services. So let's just replay the classic.

Speaker 3 Yeah, bring them back. And let's just pretend it's back in, what, 1996? Was that when Shawshank Redemption came out? Same year,

Speaker 3 as Forrest Gump.

Speaker 3 Date night movies that were sick, run them back so the new generation can get laid.

Speaker 12 That's good.

Speaker 40 Good call.

Speaker 3 Kids don't fuck anymore, Billy.

Speaker 6 Not in the movie theaters.

Speaker 39 Peewee Herman ruined that.

Speaker 26 What's your cool throne?

Speaker 11 Yeah, whatever. I guess.

Speaker 12 Yeah, no,

Speaker 19 you're being a downer.

Speaker 3 You're being grumpy. Yeah.

Speaker 11 No, I like Avatar. I got hyped.
I'm like, let's go.

Speaker 57 That's like you don't have to.

Speaker 3 And then I was like, wait a second.

Speaker 11 So this is just Avatar one.

Speaker 11 I've seen Avatar as many times as I could want to see it. I have no desire to go see it in theaters again.

Speaker 12 I have like six times on the big screen.

Speaker 3 I don't know why you're upset about that. If you really liked the avatar, you'd either, one, want to go see it again in theaters, or two, let other people see it in theaters.

Speaker 3 I don't understand what's making you angry.

Speaker 11 Put out the second avatar.

Speaker 3 Okay, it's not I.

Speaker 12 Okay, I get that. You're antsy.
This is a appetizer.

Speaker 11 But I've eaten the appetizer like a hundred times.

Speaker 21 So you're not going to get mozzarella sticks when you go to the fucking

Speaker 12 Applebee's?

Speaker 3 Yeah, judging Hank's

Speaker 12 taste in appetizers, I don't really trust him on Apple.

Speaker 57 That's a good one.

Speaker 11 I don't know the characters.

Speaker 12 Wait, wait.

Speaker 21 Stumped.

Speaker 3 That's why you need to go re-watching.

Speaker 35 There's Blue Guy, there's Blue Woman, and then there's the Colonel.

Speaker 12 The General.

Speaker 12 Okay, your Cool Throne.

Speaker 11 My Cool Throne's at an N.

Speaker 12 Yeah. Yeah, Cool Throne.
He's out. He's free.
Free. We did it.

Speaker 3 Hey, congrats to all podcast listeners out there.

Speaker 3 We're sharing this. Everybody that's ever listened to a podcast had a big part in Justice today.

Speaker 23 I do feel a little bad for our friend Kirk because he just solved a murder, too, and then Serial just hopped in and was like, oh, remember the most insanely popular murder podcast ever?

Speaker 21 Yeah, that guy's out.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Kirk did get a person convicted or not convicted, arrested

Speaker 3 like a serial killer. Yes.
He put a serial killer behind him.

Speaker 19 And now Sarah Koenig just shows up and is like, hey, remember my voice?

Speaker 30 I got Adnan free and also I still want to fuck him.

Speaker 12 Great. She definitely fell in love with him.
She definitely fell in love with him.

Speaker 3 There was some romantic tension there for sure. So he might go back on trial because they're just letting him out of jail.
They're not saying that he's innocent or not guilty yet. Right.

Speaker 3 They're saying there was prosecutorial misconduct. You nailed it.
Which is what got Bill Cosby off.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Not saying that they're equivalent, but there was a guy that had threatened to kill that lady, Jay. Is that her name? Yeah.
No, Jay was the guy.

Speaker 37 It's been a while since we listened.

Speaker 3 It actually kind of sucks that we don't know the name of the person that was killed and we spend all our time talking about like potential murderers of her.

Speaker 3 That's That's kind of sad, but hey, it was hey.

Speaker 68 I think hey, hey, Minley.

Speaker 3 It was Hey.

Speaker 54 So, um,

Speaker 3 we don't know. There was a guy that threatened to murder her.

Speaker 12 And sounds like that might be the murder. And that might be the guy.

Speaker 3 And the defense was never told about this potential suspect. And then there was another guy that was also suspected that they weren't told about.
So he might go back on trial.

Speaker 3 Maybe we'll get another season.

Speaker 12 Yeah. Serial.
Yeah.

Speaker 19 Okay. Good job, Hank.

Speaker 12 Good job. Hot seat, cool throne.
Thanks.

Speaker 3 Except for the avatar shit.

Speaker 3 My hot seat is chess.

Speaker 3 There's a giant scandal rocking the world of chess right now. In fact, it might be the biggest scandal to ever hit chess in the history of the game, which is like 500 years.
This is crazy.

Speaker 3 Just bear with me on this because I stayed up last night. I watched several YouTube videos about it.
Okay, you're an expert? I'm an expert on it right now. So, Magnus Carlson.

Speaker 3 Magnus Carlson is the goat. He is the best chess player.

Speaker 12 He's my personal goat.

Speaker 3 He's your personal goat. You're not a Garry Kasparov guy?

Speaker 19 Nope.

Speaker 3 Okay, Magnus Carlson, I actually tend to agree with you on this. I think he is the GOAT.
He's the highest rated. He's been the champion for several years right now.

Speaker 3 He's been the best player for like 10 years. He's gotten so good at chess that he has decided not to defend his title.
Instead, he's going for the all-time ranking, like he's going for points.

Speaker 3 He's just like saying, you know what, the championship matches don't matter. I've won so many of them.
I'm just going to try to get my rating as high as possible for the rest of my career.

Speaker 3 So that's Magnus Carlson. He's from Norway.
There's an up-and-comer from the United States. He's like a streamer.
He's like a Twitch chess guy. Okay.
And his name is Hans Neiman.

Speaker 3 And what happened was Hans Neiman, he's very low-rated compared to Magnus. He's not on the GOAT level.
Yeah. He's trash.
He's up and coming, but he's the new generation. He's the new boy in the block.

Speaker 3 So they compete in this chess tournament in St. Louis.
I don't know why St. Louis has a chess tournament or why anyone goes there.
It makes zero sense.

Speaker 3 But this guy, Hans Neiman, gets matched up in the second round against Magnus Carlson, the GOAT.

Speaker 3 He beats the shit out of Magnus Carlson. Oh, no.
Just absolutely destroys him. And then after the match is over, Magnus Carlson tweets out that he's retiring from that tournament.

Speaker 3 And then he puts a little video attached to it of Jose Mourinho saying,

Speaker 3 I can't say what I want to say because I'll get in trouble if I say it. Heavily implying that this guy cheated somehow.

Speaker 11 Do you know how the accusations of how

Speaker 11 it is?

Speaker 3 So we're going to get there. The plot's going to continue to unravel here.
So after that accusation is leveled against Hans Neiman,

Speaker 3 there are chess detectives out there. You know how, like, on message boards and shit for runners, you try to catch cheaters and all that stuff?

Speaker 3 They start digging into his past, find out he's been banned from chess.com multiple times in the past

Speaker 3 for cheating online. But this was a face-to-face matchup.
And so they're like, he must have cheated somehow face-to-face. They search Hans Neiman.
They give him like a wand and they frisk him.

Speaker 3 And they're like, the guy's clean. He doesn't have anything on him that could signal what to use.

Speaker 3 So, what a lot of these players have done in the past to cheat is they'll set up electronics to like what's called a chess engine, which evaluates every single possible move that could take place on the chessboard and tells them where to move their piece.

Speaker 3 And it makes them play like a perfect game before the chess engine. So they don't find anything on him.

Speaker 3 Then the chess detectives dig in further, and a rumor comes out there that Hans Neiman, the American kid, has been using anal beads in his butthole that vibrate to tell him where to move his pieces.

Speaker 3 And then Elon Musk actually weighed in on it too and said, yeah, I think that this kid might be using anal beads to cheat.

Speaker 11 So it's like the Avengers.

Speaker 70 It's kind of like the Avengers.

Speaker 3 By the way, if you do that, I think that's fair game. So

Speaker 20 you put anal beads in your ass to vibrate during a chess game.

Speaker 3 That should be allowed. So last night, when I dove into it, I thought I was Team Magnus in all this.
Well, he's our goat. But he is our goat.

Speaker 3 But Magnus is throwing all these weird claims out, and he's not backing them. He's offering zero explanation.

Speaker 12 Oh, yeah, that's not good.

Speaker 3 I think, okay, so this is where I got a little bit too far into the weeds, because I think that Magnus,

Speaker 3 he's got anal beads.

Speaker 12 Oh.

Speaker 3 And that he's recognizing that the guy that he's playing against is stealing his trick, which is also using anal beads.

Speaker 33 Whoever smelt a delta.

Speaker 3 And he's confused.

Speaker 11 Wait, but is Magnus accusing him of anal beads or or just

Speaker 38 he's just throwing out random

Speaker 29 cryptic messages, not outright accusing me?

Speaker 3 He's being real coy behind the scenes. But Hank, the person that did make the accusation of the anal beads was an anonymous internet commenter at first.
Hmm. Isn't that interesting? Disgusting.

Speaker 3 You know who else has the internet? Magnus Carlson.

Speaker 3 He uses the internet. I think Magnus Carlson is the guy with the anal beads that's accusing our, maybe our baby goat, our American goat.
Yep.

Speaker 3 They don't like Yanks taking over their sport. It's a European, Scandinavian sport.
You see a new bad boy coming in. He's a Twitch guy.
It's kind of like new blood, a lot of accusations.

Speaker 3 And then they finally have another matchup yesterday, and Magnus quits after one move. He retires, and he disconnects his entire computer.

Speaker 42 I might not be, this goat thing might not be working out for me.

Speaker 3 He might be baby back bitch.

Speaker 31 Yeah, he might be bad.

Speaker 52 And

Speaker 3 I think Hans Nieman might be our new GOAT.

Speaker 12 Okay, I'm in.

Speaker 63 I think we can. You sway me.
Squat and cough and make him play. Yeah.

Speaker 12 Yeah. Did they play nude?

Speaker 38 Did they play it nude?

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Or fully nude. Or just like make them take a shit before they start.
Yeah.

Speaker 12 During the cross-order.

Speaker 21 They have to play on toilets. Yes, I like that.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 19 And you have to five minutes.

Speaker 3 You have to drop a log before every move.

Speaker 45 Yes. Yes.

Speaker 29 They have to take a laxative and play chess on toilets.

Speaker 3 So I'm way too into the chess drama right now, and I'm sure I'll be following it as it envelops. But, man, 64 square board.
A lot of shit goes down on there.

Speaker 12 A lot of shit.

Speaker 3 And then my cool throw was going to be what Hank did, cereal. So my hot seat was long enough, so keep it moving.

Speaker 21 All right, my hot seat, I have two.

Speaker 68 Cool throw an avatar.

Speaker 20 My hot seat is Bryson DeChambeau getting assaulted by a rope.

Speaker 43 If you missed this clip, I don't know how you missed it, but he walked into a rope that was very visible.

Speaker 3 Very visible.

Speaker 42 Then took a knee and was like, I can't see my eye.

Speaker 37 You thought that he would have, like, he got shot by a sniper the way he was doing it.

Speaker 11 It was a laser laser beam.

Speaker 12 It was one of those laser beam ropes.

Speaker 48 It was insane how he reacted.

Speaker 6 It was so perfect.

Speaker 29 It feels like it's been a while since we've had, oh, this guy sucks moment with Bryson.

Speaker 38 So it was good to have that.

Speaker 3 It was so funny watching. I've been watching this video for the last two days, and there's multiple angles of it.
There were a lot of cameras rolling at the time. Bryson,

Speaker 3 he head-butts a rope, and then he falls to the ground and then proceeds to immediately blame everyone. around him for the rope existence.
He's like, fuck, guys.

Speaker 3 What the fuck was that?

Speaker 12 He just yelled it.

Speaker 3 Not to victim shame here because it did look like it was a very violent act, but one way to avoid this would be to hit your ball inside the ropes and to not have to cross over the ropes for the normal shot.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 37 But it was just, you got to watch it. It was so great.

Speaker 19 And then my other hot seat is Tom Brady's social team because Russell Wilson has just completely ripped off his post-game videos, like identical.

Speaker 3 And it's the next step in Russell Wilson just being like, oh this popular player does this I'm gonna do it too and it was it I mean it's so russ it's so russ and for doing it for a 16-9 win against the Texans was even better yeah it was just like run plays because he had no good passes everything was it was exactly identical identical going from the the intro the different cuts the type of filters the music and then at the end when they put the score up and then the official team logo yeah if you put it side to side i think it matches up perfectly and tom brady has been doing it for like five years and Russell Willis was like, yep, I'm in.

Speaker 19 You know, he had a banger for week one if they had won that game.

Speaker 20 So he was probably pissed that he had to do the Texans.

Speaker 42 Then my cool throne is the Twins, the Minnesota Twins.

Speaker 35 I don't know if you guys saw this, but the Twins finally have their URL.

Speaker 33 So Derland and Darvin Miller, twins, have been squatting on the twins.com URL for since 1995.

Speaker 65 Very funny guys.

Speaker 19 They have a picture together where it's like they're kind of like embracing a little bit.

Speaker 20 And they've been interviewed and they're like, yeah, everyone always knew us as the twins.

Speaker 29 So we got twins.com.

Speaker 17 And they're like, when you think of twins, you think of us.

Speaker 42 So I'm happy for Minnesota.

Speaker 19 They finally have twins.com.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so I just typed it in. You get a bag? It redirects.

Speaker 20 It was not disclosed, but I think they said they have been offered $750,000 before.

Speaker 4 So look at these guys.

Speaker 52 They're twins.

Speaker 30 That's crazy. Yeah.
And

Speaker 51 they're like, yeah, I think the exact quote,

Speaker 2 they're the cockiest twins ever, and they made a lot of money from this.

Speaker 19 Yeah, my brother Darvin.

Speaker 35 So I'm Derland, my brother Darvin, and we are the twins.

Speaker 27 His name's Derland?

Speaker 44 Derland and Darvin.

Speaker 20 And he said in this article a couple years ago, everybody has known us as the twins for as long as we've been around, and it's an easy way to identify or find us.

Speaker 65 The twins.

Speaker 3 The twins.

Speaker 19 They said they also have a friend who, at the same time, in like 1995, their friend Jeff got the URL jeff.com.

Speaker 21 That's pretty shout out to Jeff.com.

Speaker 3 Jeff.com was that was that was a hot one.

Speaker 12 Yeah, Jeff.com.

Speaker 3 What's the new, what's the new real estate land grab on the internet right now?

Speaker 3 Eaths.

Speaker 12 Eaths?

Speaker 3 I've seen a lot of those, yeah, a lot of like usernames. Yeah.
Is twins.eth. Is that taken? Derlin probably squatted on that.
Yeah.

Speaker 29 Yeah. Derlin.

Speaker 42 So, so shout out to the twins for getting the twins.

Speaker 12 Billy.

Speaker 63 My hot seat is Beyond Meat, the COO of Beyond Meat after the Arkansas, Missouri game, bit a guy's nose in a parking lot. And that's just a classic example of a guy craving real animal protein.

Speaker 57 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Although, I'm going to say right now, because I looked at this article,

Speaker 20 he definitely eats meat.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 33 Because he was...

Speaker 2 Tyson Foods bought Beyond Meat. So he used to work for Tyson's Food.
He was

Speaker 17 the president of Global McDonald's.

Speaker 37 So this guy's a meat eater.

Speaker 20 So that's the problem is you don't have a vegan running Beyond Meat.

Speaker 63 Or he could just be eating too much beyond meat recently. True.
And he was craving some more meat.

Speaker 3 I think the whole thing for Beyond Meat, though, is

Speaker 3 it's kind of like a gateway drug into not eating meat anymore. It's like you can try this.
So you can still eat meat and beyond meat at the same time.

Speaker 68 He also,

Speaker 44 the article that I read about it was

Speaker 29 he was one of his chairs when he was at McDonald's was executive safety counsel.

Speaker 23 So that's good.

Speaker 19 The guy who got so mad at a parking garage that he bit another man's nose off.

Speaker 3 I'm just just going to say at an Arkansas football game, you should be allowed to bite another man's face off. Yeah.
I think that like that plays for Arkansas specifically.

Speaker 19 It's also a great move to be like, I don't want to hurt you, but I want to leave a message that I am tougher than you.

Speaker 12 Yeah. Don't bump my car.

Speaker 9 I think also the, I think the car that bumped it, it was, it was the most lopsided fight ever because he jumped out and was like, I'm going to kill you,

Speaker 24 and then bit his nose off. And I want to say it was, yeah, so he was driving a Bronco and the car that bumped him was a Subaru.

Speaker 29 So that, like, he was minus 10,000 to win that fight.

Speaker 3 Yeah, was the other guy, was the other guy a fan of Missouri State?

Speaker 19 I don't know, but Ram, he went from zero to 100, like, very quickly. Pretty big.
He bumped him.

Speaker 20 Then he smat, the Ramsey, the guy, Beyond Meat guy, smashed his window, started, took him out of the car, started punching him, and bit his nose

Speaker 19 off of a bump in a parking garage.

Speaker 3 I'm okay with an Arkansas fan biting an opposing fan, but

Speaker 3 not if it's Missouri State. You can't do that with Missouri State.

Speaker 3 It's got to be an SEC opponent. I agree.

Speaker 27 And your cool throne?

Speaker 63 My cool throne is all of us. Biden said the pandemic's over.

Speaker 22 All right. Oh, nice.

Speaker 70 We did it, guys. We did it, Joe.

Speaker 12 We fucking did it. Love it.
Very cool.

Speaker 40 Nice. Good job.
So, what does that mean?

Speaker 37 Thank you, Joe.

Speaker 3 It's over. All right.
He said.

Speaker 12 It was over.

Speaker 44 It's been over for us for, what,

Speaker 19 a month into the pandemic?

Speaker 9 It was over for us.

Speaker 3 That was a real bummer over the last couple of years. I'm Yeah, it's over.

Speaker 12 It's over.

Speaker 24 Yeah, he did it. He saw that.

Speaker 12 Officially.

Speaker 19 Officially.

Speaker 22 Jake.

Speaker 58 My hot seat?

Speaker 12 Bedlam. Yeah, fuck that.

Speaker 3 Once Oklahoma leaves for the SEC, the series is over. It's disgusting.
They'll come back.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 3 They should.

Speaker 3 What's to stop them from just playing Bedlam?

Speaker 29 Because they don't, like, if you're Oklahoma, you're going to play an SEC schedule and you also have to play Oklahoma State.

Speaker 19 They're going to want to schedule nobodies in

Speaker 61 September. I think it will come back, though.

Speaker 54 It will come back. Like 2030.

Speaker 12 Yeah,

Speaker 61 they'll be like, this was stupid.

Speaker 3 Let's play it. They're going to make us want it.

Speaker 3 Sometimes colleges just make you beg for stuff. Yeah.
And then they're like, okay, we'll do the cool thing everyone wants.

Speaker 73 It is sad, but we do get Texas A ⁇ M back, which was a great rivalry before it went away.

Speaker 58 Yeah, absolutely. And my cool throne is retirements.
Apparently, today is a big day to retire if you're a big name in the NHL. We had Chara, PK Suban, and Keith Yandle all retired today.

Speaker 58 And I'm not a huge hockey guy, but I know those guys.

Speaker 17 I think Keith Yandle did it on Spit and Chicka. Yeah.

Speaker 12 Exclusive.

Speaker 11 Yeah, shout out the boys, legend, yeah, so yeah, tough day for hockey fans, but that is

Speaker 68 those guys on retirement.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Chara, Cap's legend, great career, never forget.

Speaker 19 Um, okay, good hot seat, cool thrones, everyone.

Speaker 12 Uh, let's get to our good friend Max Homa, give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 74 Sebastian Manoscalco's new stand-up special, it ain't right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st.

Speaker 12 30 years ago, Jeff Bezos, complete nerd. Bezos now ripped to shreds on his super yacht and the boxes keep

Speaker 12 coming

Speaker 74 Sebastian Maniscalco, it ain't right. Premieres November 21st, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers.
Terms apply.

Speaker 3 And now, here is Max Homa.

Speaker 44 Okay, we now welcome on our very good friend, recurring guest.

Speaker 44 and back-to-back Fortnite champion.

Speaker 17 It is Max Homa, fresh off his victory.

Speaker 21 It's literally like 12 hours after he won.

Speaker 46 I guess let's start there because we're going to talk President's Cup as well, which you're playing in this week.

Speaker 56 That was, all I really have to say is, holy shit, I can't believe how that all transpired.

Speaker 12 For people who didn't watch, Max hold out with a, what were you, like, 20 feet away?

Speaker 75 Yeah, 20, 30 feet.

Speaker 19 And then Danny Willett missed two five-foot putts for you, three putts for you to win.

Speaker 34 And I have to ask, because I know what we were watching it live,

Speaker 1 I noticed after you won, you didn't really celebrate because it was like you didn't really win.

Speaker 35 Danny Willett just lost.

Speaker 6 Did you have that in the back of your head where you're like,

Speaker 17 I have to kind of act a little sad here?

Speaker 75 Great question, big cat.

Speaker 12 Good question. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 75 I didn't want to

Speaker 75 like celebrate. Obviously, I was

Speaker 75 trying to do like the classy thing um it's hard to celebrate when uh you know when something crazy like that happens but um i mean i still i still feel and believe like i won i won the golf tournament

Speaker 75 um i have heard that uh mercury's in retrograde and that's why some crazy stuff's been going on

Speaker 12 uh so i just kind of have to tip my cap to to mercury i think shout out to planets you did and you did win that's that that hole out was awesome that was insane

Speaker 3 yes thank you what was the conversation like with your caddy before you hit that shot?

Speaker 55 Did you know, like, okay,

Speaker 3 I have to go for this. I have to actually try to make this shot if I want any chance of winning.

Speaker 75 Yeah, it was, I felt dead. I mean, I assumed Danny was going to make that putt, but before I hit it, Joe, Joe just said, make him make it.
So at least make him earn it a little bit.

Speaker 75 If I, you know, miss that, I guess, you know, he could just kind of tap it up and have two putts to win. So it was,

Speaker 75 it was just one of those Hail Mary,

Speaker 75 crazy.

Speaker 75 I don't think I've ever had anything like that happen, especially on the last hole. Just something like

Speaker 75 so unbelievable.

Speaker 75 But yeah, Joe just said, just make him make the putt and give it a chance. And yeah, I just smoked the pin and just went straight down.

Speaker 50 It was insane.

Speaker 69 After, so, so you, you, you shake hands with Danny Willow.

Speaker 31 Did you see him like in the locker room after anything?

Speaker 20 You're like, man, those greens, tough today.

Speaker 12 Like, kind of like

Speaker 56 putting your head down, like, damn, that was whew.

Speaker 50 Sorry. So, yeah, like, sorry, dude.

Speaker 12 That's brutal.

Speaker 75 I just realized, I just realized you guys would be the worst people to lose to.

Speaker 75 You would say everything bad.

Speaker 12 Yes.

Speaker 70 Yes. Actually, that's right.

Speaker 3 Jake would honestly do that. Jake would be like, you know, those greens are really challenging out there.
A lot of people miss some bad putts.

Speaker 3 Like, being very polite, but then he would take it the wrong way.

Speaker 6 He would be like, hey, you want to get in the picture with the trophy?

Speaker 23 Because, like, you kind of won this too.

Speaker 49 Like, I'm not going to give you any money, but, like, you were that close.

Speaker 75 Jake would be so accidentally like uh rude like yeah people punch him but he's just the nicest guy ever yes um speaking of that i do have something to say i'm glad i got to come back on here thank you guys for having me um stop calling that uh max max it's bad girl i've already talked to you about this big cat it throws me off i listen to your podcast three times a week every week and when it said max comes up i always think what have i done and uh i like the nickname the nickname works yeah it is it is confusing because even when we were like scheduling you this past week, I kept on saying Max and then he would perk up.

Speaker 21 And I just, you're right.

Speaker 52 I should just be like, shut up, Pat Girl.

Speaker 64 Not talking about you. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 12 A lot of people don't know this.

Speaker 3 But Max Homa actually is a part of part of my take. He edits this podcast.
So anytime that we have a change that we make to the show,

Speaker 45 all of the good ones.

Speaker 3 All the good change. Anytime we say something drastically offensive, we accidentally text.
Max Homa and ask him to take it out when we mean to text back.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 75 Okay. Now I see where you're going.
Yeah, we have a we have a secret text Jane of me PFT and memes of all of the things PFT does not want her.

Speaker 46 It's great.

Speaker 8 And I'm going to give you a compliment, Max.

Speaker 69 You ready for this?

Speaker 6 You have become the darling of media.

Speaker 38 It feels like you're doing a million interviews, but you have shouted us out.

Speaker 34 And I appreciate that because you could totally be like, fuck these podcasters.

Speaker 19 I don't know them anymore.

Speaker 73 I'm doing Scott Van Pelt's show now.

Speaker 20 Actually, no, you're not that big time.

Speaker 64 You did like the noon Sports Center.

Speaker 12 But either way, you gave us.

Speaker 75 I just sat in his chair, but never been on his show.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and you give us, you know, you're like, hey, these guys support me.

Speaker 50 So we appreciate that.

Speaker 69 And,

Speaker 44 I mean, how much money are we getting from this Fortnite?

Speaker 21 What'd you get?

Speaker 31 What are you cashing on the Fortnite?

Speaker 75 I think I got

Speaker 75 like 50 bucks. I'll give you guys like...
25 bucks.

Speaker 3 That works for me. 50%.
I like that.

Speaker 75 Yeah, that's pretty good. That's pretty good.

Speaker 3 Do you get a back-to-back bonus on that? They should.

Speaker 12 You're like Mr. 40.

Speaker 75 I need to lobby for that one. Yeah, I should.
I should get a free PS5.

Speaker 75 I know, Big Cat, you give those out every once in a while.

Speaker 75 So maybe I'll have another plug. And yeah, I feel like they should, yeah, I should get a bonus.
Absolutely. That's one of those Mike Greenberg dumb rules I think that should go into effect.

Speaker 42 Yeah, we weren't worried about you, by the way, in this tournament because it was the perfect Max Homa tournament.

Speaker 40 You couldn't even watch it on TV.

Speaker 45 And it was during football.

Speaker 34 So we kept on being like, no, Max has got this because no one's paying attention.

Speaker 12 That's when he shot.

Speaker 12 Yeah. Yeah, I think the rounds got me.

Speaker 75 I'm like sliding in the

Speaker 75 kind of behind in the shadows. I'm in the shadows.
I'm creeping around. No one has any idea golf's being played.
And that's when I seem to play my best.

Speaker 3 So how does that work on that final day? Didn't they move the start time up? I feel like that would really screw me up.

Speaker 3 You know how if they delay flights at the airport, they can always actually undelay them and make you miss your flight because you thought your flight was, they moved it up on you like last minute.

Speaker 3 How does that work like with your preparation?

Speaker 3 Were you rushed?

Speaker 75 No, they did inform us the day prior. That airline thing seems like it should be illegal because I had that hour and then

Speaker 75 an hour and a half before the original flight time. They're like, hey, it's actually on time.

Speaker 12 Yeah, it's both.

Speaker 75 I'm like, okay, well, I'm at my house.

Speaker 75 But yeah, no, it was just a little less sleep. So the turnaround was faster, but sometimes that's better.
Sitting around all morning and

Speaker 75 thinking about

Speaker 75 the bad things that could happen is tough. So it was nice actually to just wake up and go straight to the course the next day.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Serious question about Danny Willett because I think he hit maybe the best golf shot that nobody will ever remember when he was behind that tree.
What was it on like 17 or 16?

Speaker 3 When he hit that, did you think it was over?

Speaker 75 No, it was sick, though.

Speaker 75 The ball curve like 50 yards in the air.

Speaker 75 But yeah,

Speaker 75 he went up one. And I mean, it was a bit of a shocker, but obviously he's a great player.
He's a

Speaker 75 true major golf tournament champion, won the Masters where everyone's watching. And

Speaker 75 that was just a sick golf shot. I will never forget watching that ball curve.
I was like, holy hell.

Speaker 75 I thought maybe there's a chance he was going to hit the tree and it was going to shoot out of bounds. And the next thing I know, he had 12 feet for Birdie and he made it right in the middle.

Speaker 75 So that was a tough blow.

Speaker 3 So when something like that happens, you obviously are watching it and you realize what an incredible shot it is, but you're also competing against this guy for first place and a pretty significant amount of money.

Speaker 3 How much time do you spend? Like, do you go over to him and be like, hey, that was an amazing shot? Or are you just kind of stay in your lane and focus on what you have to do?

Speaker 75 Yeah, I mean, I think I said good shot, but

Speaker 75 actually, that should be the next thing we started doing. I should have walked over and like high-fived him, walked back, really rattled him.

Speaker 12 Yeah, like real hard, like, hurt his hand.

Speaker 75 But yeah, that's always the uh, it's the toughest thing, man, is being like kind of in your lane, but also,

Speaker 75 I guess, somewhat appreciative of what the other, like, great golf is going on, all the other great golf.

Speaker 75 Like, in the beginning of the day, I couldn't make very many putts, and uh, both Danny and Justin, who was in our group as well, were making everything.

Speaker 75 And uh, on about the 10th hole, uh, I think Justin made back-to-back like 40-foot putts. And I feel like I was just shaking my head.
And

Speaker 75 I've always wanted to have somebody else play their best and me play my best and my best be better. Like, that's been my like dream scenario.

Speaker 75 But in the back of your mind, I mean, you do, it would be nice if people messed up here and there. And when Danny hit that shot from the tree, it was.

Speaker 75 That was, that was something else. Yeah.

Speaker 25 Are you, are you flying too high right now? Do you need us to humble you?

Speaker 34 Are you, how are you feeling?

Speaker 22 Like,

Speaker 56 hit me. Yeah.

Speaker 71 Obviously, the whole out shot, your fourth shot was incredible. Your third shot sucked, dude.

Speaker 12 You went from the sand to the rough.

Speaker 50 Like, that was bad.

Speaker 75 Yeah. I've been watching too many of Hank's golf videos on his Instagram.

Speaker 21 All right. So.

Speaker 75 My jeeps, though.

Speaker 61 Jeez are great.

Speaker 7 The President's Cup.

Speaker 49 We obviously are dimpleheads.

Speaker 31 We love the game of golf. Parverts.

Speaker 67 We know exactly what

Speaker 20 the President's Cup is all about, but explain it to people who might not know what even this tournament is.

Speaker 75 So it is 12 of the best Americans versus 12 of pretty much everyone but Europe. Europe is the Ryder Cup.
So it's called the international team. And it is four days.
It's a match play.

Speaker 75 It's teams for the first three days and then an individual straight up heads up match. on Sunday.
And

Speaker 75 there's 30 total points up for grabs. So it's whoever has the most points wins.
And you get one for a win, half for a tie, zero obviously for a loss.

Speaker 75 And it is an opportunity to represent your country.

Speaker 75 And it's, I've never done it before, but it's been awesome to watch on TV and something I've wanted to do forever.

Speaker 4 So essentially, it's just America versus VJ Sin.

Speaker 75 Nice. You are a dimple head.

Speaker 45 I am a dimple head.

Speaker 32 So is this, is this like, is this pre-Ryder Cup? Are you now?

Speaker 21 Are you now going to be on Ryder Cup next year?

Speaker 75 You've got to qualify for all that the same, but

Speaker 75 I would very much like to

Speaker 75 play well this week and at least kind of sneak my foot in that door as well.

Speaker 21 Okay. All right.

Speaker 32 So you heard it here first.

Speaker 44 Max Homa open to accepting an invitation to the Ryder Cup if offered.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 21 You're not closing that door.

Speaker 75 Exactly. That door is definitely, I'm going to leave it open until somebody shuts it on me, but I'm definitely open for an invitation.
I'm down.

Speaker 47 Who, who, um, who called, like, if you get invited to the Ryder Cup, does someone actually call you and be like, hey, you're invited?

Speaker 75 Yeah, they say uh

Speaker 75 uh they send you a letter uh you're invited and you just check yes or no just like uh old school prom dates yeah i was gonna say it would be a real shame if someone like pranked you and called you

Speaker 75 like the michael scott thing where he find you then hires you or the other way around yeah if someone if someone pranked you and called you right around the ryder cup and was like hey max you're on the team that would be a shame i wouldn't want that to happen you i'll take any invitation so i'll i'll i'll ride that high for the 30 seconds before I realize that's a break.

Speaker 12 So I welcome that as well.

Speaker 3 What do you get if you win the President's Cup?

Speaker 75 Pride.

Speaker 75 Oh, this is what I was going to say. I'm glad I remember this.
I'm going to do it, Billy, I apologize for stolen valor.

Speaker 12 Oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 75 I'm representing my country, and I understand that you have done that in a much, in a much higher way.

Speaker 57 Different type of uniform.

Speaker 12 Just want you to know,

Speaker 75 I'm just representing you and all the sacrifices you've made for this country.

Speaker 3 Thank you, Billy.

Speaker 41 It would be cool if the President's Cup played for like the winning team gets the presidency.

Speaker 75 The winning team gets like the swing boat?

Speaker 42 No, yeah, the winning team just gets to be like, they get to then decide out of the 12, like who's the president.

Speaker 3 Winning team gets Canada.

Speaker 20 Yeah, I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to, you know, I'm not trying to tell the President's Cup how to do their job, but that would get people watching if it's like, hey, your next president comes from the president's cup god that would be the worst twitter day of my entire life

Speaker 75 politics twitter is all time the worst it'd be great uh max just curious have you ever um what's your what's your policy on rope safety have you encountered any dangerous ropes recently on the golf course i've noticed you gotta keep you gotta you gotta keep your eyes closed when you walk near those things because they come out of nowhere man uh those electric ones are especially bad uh people don't understand how difficult this sport is on your body.

Speaker 75 You know, I know you guys grinded football all day yesterday, but

Speaker 75 golf's

Speaker 75 nothing soft about it.

Speaker 75 You got to be ready.

Speaker 75 That was a blind side blitz by the rope, and

Speaker 75 nobody called it out. Running back ran away, and it absolutely, that was a dangerous situation.

Speaker 3 He was targeting.

Speaker 3 I will stand up for Bryson a little bit that sometimes when there's a rope that you have to traverse and you find yourself in no man's land on am I stepping over this rope or going under this rope, especially as other people are doing it, it gets tricky out there.

Speaker 3 You have to be on your toes.

Speaker 75 Well, he's a brick shithouse, so maybe he just thought he could just run right through it, which is, I respect that move.

Speaker 20 He also probably had his eyes down looking for fire ants because he's, you know, had issues with that.

Speaker 41 So it was like, oh, you got to look for the ropes too.

Speaker 33 Max, let's make a headline for the show because you do listen to the show.

Speaker 32 How much has the Live Tour offered you?

Speaker 75 $1 billion.

Speaker 12 Really? Holy shit.

Speaker 66 Allegedly. And did you,

Speaker 47 are you entertaining the offer?

Speaker 75 I said I'm $2 billion or nothing.

Speaker 46 Okay, okay.

Speaker 44 All right, so we have a price.

Speaker 19 So Max Homa, that's the headline.

Speaker 62 Max Homa, $2 billion.

Speaker 4 We'll join the LiveTour.

Speaker 75 Sure.

Speaker 70 I mean, that's...

Speaker 69 Listen, can we work our way in that?

Speaker 32 If they offer you $2 billion, could you hire us to work for you?

Speaker 75 Oh, yeah. At that point.

Speaker 75 At that point on, it's a who cares at that point?

Speaker 12 We could do whatever we want.

Speaker 3 We would be your exclusive media team.

Speaker 47 Yeah. And

Speaker 3 we would only do Max Homa coverage. And it would be a great match, I think, if I know the Saudi Royal family are AWLs.

Speaker 3 So if you've been waiting to contact Max, please reach out to us directly and we'll handle the contract negotiation. But I think we can make that work.

Speaker 3 $2 billion to you and let's say $250 million to us.

Speaker 75 That sounds like a fair price. But Big Cat, I think you said you would never watch me play golf ever again if I joined.
So

Speaker 6 seems like you have a price for that well i could follow you and just keep my eyes closed the whole time okay yeah that actually works yeah just like i would literally be like behind your caddy and i just would never i'd wear a blindfold that would you don't think people would tune in to watching me like run into ropes and trees

Speaker 75 yeah right it would be kind of fun to watch um max another important question we got to ask you so you are about to have a child uh your wife is with child when's a due date again november 2nd have you discussed with her that you need to play in the tournament right after because guys always play well after they have kids have you had that discussion yet yeah she said um she said just

Speaker 75 get on out there you know she doesn't need any help uh she she would love to do this on her own

Speaker 38 okay but like you have a window you have a window of like two weeks you got to play and you got to win because otherwise i think your child your entire child's life is illegitimate if you don't win right after.

Speaker 75 Man,

Speaker 75 that's a lot of pressure.

Speaker 45 No pressure.

Speaker 12 There's really no point in having to say no pressure.

Speaker 12 There's no point in having a child if you don't use it.

Speaker 75 0-11 and bets. Oh, sorry, PFT.

Speaker 19 Yeah, no, go ahead. Say

Speaker 21 you were going to make fun of me. That's okay.

Speaker 19 0-11, yep.

Speaker 75 When you go 0-11 and bets, does that put a damper on your kids' lives?

Speaker 37 Oh, yeah, big time.

Speaker 18 I mean, they're surrounded by a loser.

Speaker 40 That's loser energy in my house, and they pick up.

Speaker 43 Kids are like dogs when dogs smell fear, they like go crazy.

Speaker 12 Kids smell losers, and they're like, oh, this is bad. This guy.

Speaker 75 Do dogs smell fear? Yeah,

Speaker 12 absolutely.

Speaker 3 They smell earthquakes. They smell fear.

Speaker 59 They smell periods.

Speaker 3 They're very intense animals.

Speaker 49 Yeah, they know everything.

Speaker 12 Talking about sharks.

Speaker 48 Yeah, sharks, too.

Speaker 3 Yeah, they smell blood. Yeah.

Speaker 61 And bears.

Speaker 24 But my kids know when I lose because I'm a loser. And so, yeah,

Speaker 21 your child will know if you are losing right after

Speaker 45 he is born, and it will be bad for his future.

Speaker 75 Yeah,

Speaker 75 this is going to be my line when I'm a dad. It's a do as I say, not as I do type thing.
So I'm going to tell him to be a winner, even if I'm a loser.

Speaker 12 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 I think what Big Cat's getting at is that if you have a child, you might as well use it to help you win a golf tournament. Right.

Speaker 3 Because it's kind of a wasted birth if your kid is just like, okay, yeah, you're dad now, big deal.

Speaker 3 But if you're not using that to actually win some like $600,000 purse then the kid's life it's like okay it's just another baby my my wife has said the exact same thing it is a waste of a birth if i do not

Speaker 24 win yes and you also i mean listen i i'm not you know i i want to forecast the future you're playing great but i like having a child will give you a better chance of winning a major because we need the shot of like you and your wife and your child like standing at the 18th green and everyone's like oh my god look this is so cute like that's just you have a leg up now So you better use it.

Speaker 75 I've heard that that is a big part of

Speaker 75 momentum. And also, I've heard a lot of guys say you get dad strength for a little bit.
So maybe at Augusta, I'll just be bombing it out of nowhere. So I am looking forward to

Speaker 75 the perspective I will gain.

Speaker 75 and the dad strength. I think that those are the things I've been missing in the majors.

Speaker 33 Yes, yes, because you could basically say if you hit a bad shot, you're like, what do I care?

Speaker 41 I'm a dad.

Speaker 12 And then you'll hit a good shot. Yeah.

Speaker 41 Because you don't care. Exactly.

Speaker 75 And people can't talk trash to me because I'll be a father then. And you can't talk trash to fathers.

Speaker 12 That's a fast.

Speaker 65 LeBron James taught me that.

Speaker 64 That's that's it's it's gotten so deep with the uh whenever I'm like father of two that I don't think people even realize that I'm making fun of LeBron who literally had that like as a take like don't talk to me like that I'm a father of three it's like most most people in the world are dads yeah

Speaker 6 the majority of people in the worlds are dads so that means we just can't talk shit about anyone.

Speaker 12 About anyone. Yeah.
It's a good defense. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Max, talk to me about what it's like if you're playing on a team. Like, how can you be, how is golf a team sport if you're competing with like

Speaker 3 a bunch of other guys that you normally compete against every week? And now it's like, okay, now you have to do like a national pride thing. Is there any team bonding experience you guys go through?

Speaker 3 Or how do you start to like each other?

Speaker 75 I assume we all sing the Star Spangled Banner every morning.

Speaker 75 So I'm looking forward to that.

Speaker 75 I think we eat immense amounts of bacon because that seems like a big thing Americans love. We just do a lot of things Americans love, overeating.

Speaker 75 And yeah,

Speaker 75 I got a, I'm a rookie. I'm just going to follow everyone's lead, but those are my assumptions, at least at the beginning of this week.

Speaker 3 Yeah, who's your favorite president?

Speaker 12 Oh, good question. Besides Trump.

Speaker 3 Because I know you were about to say him, but everyone knows that. Besides him.

Speaker 75 Good question. I like that dude that writes his books that always talks shit to me.
That guy's a pretty cool dude.

Speaker 75 My favorite president. I'm going to have to go with Ronald Reagan because I've been to his.
No, George Bush met him. Not a humble brag, but met him.
He's awesome.

Speaker 46 Okay.

Speaker 20 Who's your favorite teammate on this team?

Speaker 19 I'm looking at the team right now.

Speaker 56 There's some good dudes on this team.

Speaker 75 Yeah, they're all. This is Team Unity.
They're all my favorite.

Speaker 26 Okay, but who's your favorite?

Speaker 75 Probably. I've known JT the longest, probably JT.

Speaker 57 Okay.

Speaker 19 Who was making fun of my own 11.

Speaker 20 So you're not a big Patrick Cantley guy.

Speaker 43 Okay, so watch out for that.

Speaker 64 If he goes up with Patrick, they're probably not going to have great team chemistry.

Speaker 3 I always like it when they have the captains of the team, like in the Ryder Cup, and the captains are like riding around on the golf carts with their walkie-talkies, communicating to me.

Speaker 3 What are they doing?

Speaker 3 How much like in-game coaching or captaining can you do in those types of tournaments?

Speaker 75 I'm glad you asked that. I actually am very much looking forward to figuring out what that is that they do.
So I'm I'm excited to see that up close.

Speaker 29 Yeah, I mean, it is very funny because golf is just not a team sport, but it is funny when we get these tournaments.

Speaker 44 I mean, Quail Hollow, one of my favorite courses.

Speaker 75 Exactly, one of mine too.

Speaker 75 I'm glad we share our love for Quail Hollow.

Speaker 41 Yeah, I actually, if I had to do like Mount Rush Remote courses, I think Quail Hollow's on that.

Speaker 3 Is that set up to be like,

Speaker 3 is that a... homosexual course or is it a homophobic course?

Speaker 75 I actually have one here, so I would say homosexual, two thumbs up. We knew that.

Speaker 12 We knew you had won there. Your home track.
Yeah.

Speaker 12 What was that tournament?

Speaker 8 What tournament did you win?

Speaker 75 The Wells Fargo in 2019.

Speaker 25 Oh, the fifth major.

Speaker 12 Yes, exactly.

Speaker 12 I'm glad you're getting that.

Speaker 75 You are a diplehead.

Speaker 12 Like you said, you're really getting that.

Speaker 3 I remember that tournament.

Speaker 51 Yeah, me too.

Speaker 21 You won.

Speaker 12 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 12 It's incredible.

Speaker 3 What's one tournament? If you could pick one tournament to win,

Speaker 3 what's the one that you have your eyes set on? If it can only be like the Masters, the Open.

Speaker 75 First off, sorry if you're this by like two minutes.

Speaker 75 So, yeah, if I had to win one tournament, I would be the president, Scott.

Speaker 12 That's a great answer.

Speaker 3 That is a great answer. The sixth major.

Speaker 12 Yeah. The sixth major.
Yeah. All right.

Speaker 75 Does it count as a major win if we win this, even though I have 11 teammates?

Speaker 62 Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 3 I mean, it counts as

Speaker 3 it counts as a win for us, for the USA.

Speaker 21 Absolutely. Yes, yes.

Speaker 12 Especially for Billy.

Speaker 32 Yes, especially for Billy.

Speaker 71 All right, so last question, because Max has to go.

Speaker 41 He just won the Fortnite.

Speaker 62 He's the man about town.

Speaker 57 New Beyond Raw Lid V2.

Speaker 12 GNC's number one pre-workout. Now with harder-hitting energy, an intense mind-body connection,

Speaker 45 and enhanced endurance support.

Speaker 12 This isn't just a pre-workout, it's precision engineering for your body.

Speaker 12 Supercharge your workout with new Beyond Raw Lid V2.

Speaker 29 Available now at GNC and GNC.com.

Speaker 73 Max, I actually don't even have a last question other than like, go get them.

Speaker 41 Do you want to use, do you have anything on your mind you want to get off, you know, like anything that you wanted to tell the people about the support?

Speaker 20 And are we being positive, negative?

Speaker 62 How are we feeling going this week?

Speaker 75 I think...

Speaker 75 Well, there's no cut this week. I think as usual, Thursday, Friday, positive.
You can do whatever you want Saturday, Sunday.

Speaker 75 Except I did win a golf tournament last week without Billy posting an absolutely vulgar,

Speaker 75 disgusting animal video. So I feel like I've gotten over that hump.
So if you could just keep those to yourselves, that'd be great. But anything else goes.

Speaker 3 What about, okay, I understand that, but what if Billy posts like a really metal bald eagle video of a bald eagle for the U.S.?

Speaker 12 Actually,

Speaker 75 that would be great. If you guys could make Billy do that, that would be awesome.

Speaker 12 Okay.

Speaker 3 All right, Billy, that's your assignment.

Speaker 75 Not hit it eating something with a lot of blood.

Speaker 49 Yeah. Minimal blood.
Minimal blood.

Speaker 12 Minimal blood.

Speaker 56 And Max has got this.

Speaker 8 All right, so Max, good luck at the President's guy.

Speaker 21 Thank you.

Speaker 29 I mean, literally our country's on the line, so no pressure.

Speaker 43 Again,

Speaker 56 also really, like, do think about this whole having a kid and then playing a tournament right after because we'd like to win some money off you.

Speaker 4 So

Speaker 4 make sure that you get that squared away with the wife before the child does arrive because we need you like child born on a Tuesday, you're playing on Thursday.

Speaker 20 We need that.

Speaker 75 I will pass along that message. Yeah.
You know how that goes.

Speaker 19 Listen, I place bets in the in the delivery room of my first child being born.

Speaker 26 So like you have no excuse.

Speaker 32 You got to keep working. No excuses.

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 75 My son would want that kind of grit out of out of his dad. So I'll give it my best shot.

Speaker 12 Okay. Perfect.

Speaker 21 Thank you, Max. All right.

Speaker 50 Thank you, Max. We appreciate it.

Speaker 3 Thank you for for winning us money yesterday also. Yes, yes.

Speaker 75 I'll send you that 25 bucks, $12.50 each as soon as possible.

Speaker 41 Yeah, and maybe do like call back the live tour because $2 billion would be nice.

Speaker 66 We'll do it.

Speaker 20 We'll each take $50 million and just follow you around everywhere.

Speaker 19 And that will be our life.

Speaker 53 And we'll all be happy and we'll be like best friends.

Speaker 42 It'll be so funny.

Speaker 31 And it'll be ha ha ha.

Speaker 56 That's cool.

Speaker 75 All right. I'm all in.

Speaker 34 Okay, perfect. All right.

Speaker 71 Thank you, Max. Max Homa, champion.

Speaker 45 You guys are the best. Back to back, Fortnite.

Speaker 76 Man, I'll tell you what. When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 76 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 76 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 76 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 3 And now for something completely different.

Speaker 8 Okay,

Speaker 19 time for one question with the quarterback.

Speaker 20 It's our new segment on Wednesdays.

Speaker 50 We have Josh Allen.

Speaker 32 One question with the quarterback.

Speaker 2 Josh, how sweet was that game last night?

Speaker 75 It's pretty sweet.

Speaker 12 It's pretty sweet.

Speaker 45 Boys got after it.

Speaker 77 Made some plays.

Speaker 77 Bill's mafia was incredible per usual. It was a good time.

Speaker 16 Awesome.

Speaker 3 All right, Josh, my one question.

Speaker 57 Are you him?

Speaker 77 I think there's too many hymns right now.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 70 It's like church.

Speaker 77 There's a lot of them going around. I think, you know, if everybody's great, nobody's great.

Speaker 77 So

Speaker 77 there's got to be a new word, you know?

Speaker 12 Well,

Speaker 48 we're out of questions.

Speaker 12 Yeah, so I don't know.

Speaker 12 I don't know what.

Speaker 3 First of all, I didn't know what hymn was. I was hoping that you would explain that to me in my answer, but I like too too many hymns yeah

Speaker 77 too many hymns that's that's kind of the consensus around the league right now there's a lot of a lot of guys that are him you know yeah usually him is you know the the one guy that's that's that's him yeah that is him but you're you're you're us yeah though the bills are us

Speaker 12 the bills are us yes yeah i can i can agree with that um my one question for you guys oh okay yeah that's good all right yeah yeah one question you only get one though

Speaker 19 One for each? No, no, one for the show.

Speaker 77 What was your

Speaker 77 guys' betting record in the NFL this weekend?

Speaker 21 Oh,

Speaker 3 good question.

Speaker 71 I was six and five after an 0-11 start.

Speaker 59 But we'll focus on the 6-5.

Speaker 73 0-11 is pretty tough.

Speaker 3 I was...

Speaker 70 That's hard to do.

Speaker 25 That's hard to do. It's actually impressive.

Speaker 59 I'd rather be 0-11 than 6-5 because 0-11 at least is a story.

Speaker 3 I was 2-9 going into last night, and I bet on the Titans. So fuck you.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 77 I guess so.

Speaker 77 That's why I like Caleb better, I guess. Yeah.

Speaker 20 Yeah, I mean, we like Caleb more than us, too.

Speaker 12 So

Speaker 19 Samesies.

Speaker 19 Okay.

Speaker 71 That was one question with Josh Allen. Thank you, Josh.
We appreciate it.

Speaker 48 We had Jared last week.

Speaker 40 I can't guarantee that you won't be called again when we run out of people to call.

Speaker 3 That's fine. I'm always here.
You know that.

Speaker 57 All right.

Speaker 27 Thank you, Josh. Thanks, Josh.
Have a good one.

Speaker 77 Bye, best friend. See ya.

Speaker 20 See ya. Oh, nice.
I love that. Best friends.

Speaker 12 That?

Speaker 78 That's the sound of extremely processed dog food, which is the norm at most pet food companies. But at the Farmer's Dog, we do things differently.
We gently cook our food without ultra-processing.

Speaker 78 It's developed by our team of board-certified nutritionists, made to human-grade safety standards, and portioned for your your dog then delivered right to your door how does that sound to you get 50 off your first box available only at the farmers dog.com okay let's wrap up the show we got faqs henry

Speaker 37 yeah

Speaker 66 let's do it

Speaker 12 uh

Speaker 11 i'm just reading this for the first time is big cat willing to do with these are faqs is big cat willing to do a three to four year long pinkie bet with the entirety of minnesota sports teams oh my gosh minus the Lynx who are actually good.

Speaker 11 What city/slash state would he feel the safest with over these next few years?

Speaker 68 It would be Minnesota, but I think the Timberwolves could be, like, they could get a little uppity.

Speaker 12 No?

Speaker 12 I wouldn't do it.

Speaker 6 I wouldn't do it for, I'm not going to.

Speaker 25 I'm very secure in the fact that I have the pinky bet.

Speaker 42 It's going to be a yearly thing.

Speaker 20 I will probably die without a tip of my pinky, but I also think I can make it probably about 20 years picking the correct team that sucks out of the game.

Speaker 40 Like, the Raiders are not winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 They're not. I would say, now are we including

Speaker 3 college basketball in this or only professional sports? Well, Minnesota college basketball is not winning.

Speaker 63 Idaho would be pretty safe.

Speaker 30 As a state?

Speaker 3 Yeah, but they don't have any professional teams.

Speaker 17 Yeah, you got to go professional teams.

Speaker 12 Good point, Billy.

Speaker 55 Yeah, I think Minnesota

Speaker 47 would be the pick.

Speaker 24 I think they'd have to be the pick.

Speaker 3 Michigan?

Speaker 29 I don't know. My guy, Scott Harris, just got named team president for the Tigers.

Speaker 43 He's going to put that team back on the right track.

Speaker 49 And the Lions, Jared Goff.

Speaker 38 Arizona might be up there, too.

Speaker 3 Arizona's up there.

Speaker 3 Sneakily,

Speaker 3 Texas is up there.

Speaker 19 Yeah, I mean, Illinois is definitely on there.

Speaker 3 Like,

Speaker 3 Texas is actually in bad shape right now. Yeah.
Yeah. As a state.
Yeah.

Speaker 19 Yeah, there's just too many teams that would be playing, that would be rolling the dice.

Speaker 3 That'd be Russian roulette with like four bullets in the chain, but still, as a program, texas the state is in bad sports shape yeah actually the answer might be illinois i there's no team close right now seattle

Speaker 2 uh the state of washington no the mariners dude mariners were my preseason world series champion they'll make the playoffs you think they can win it all

Speaker 29 why not they've been playing their asses off that's a good question though i'll think about it more

Speaker 68 Will the whole PMT group

Speaker 11 will the whole PMT crew move to when Big Hat goes to Chicago? Also hope Stella's doing well.

Speaker 27 Oh, thank you.

Speaker 12 Yes.

Speaker 9 And we're going to have a sick office.

Speaker 19 Anything else?

Speaker 12 I'm going to move. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I'm actually, I might move before Big Cat moves.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 12 Squatter's right. No,

Speaker 12 I might be missing.

Speaker 3 You know what I should do?

Speaker 3 I've been trying to think, like, okay, Chicago,

Speaker 3 I'm not a Chicago guy. I've never been to Chicago.
What can I do to make myself a Chicago guy?

Speaker 3 I might grow a mustache out. You're getting like 100 pounds?

Speaker 3 Well, yeah, I'll probably do that like accidentally. Yeah.
But I might just grow a mustache out. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I feel like that's one thing you have to have when you move into the city limits.

Speaker 38 We've been working on looking for offices.

Speaker 6 Think Fantasy Factory.

Speaker 30 Like basketball courts.

Speaker 24 PFT is going to have a fucking music studio that he can record music anytime he wants.

Speaker 38 Golf simulator.

Speaker 30 Just some real fucking cool shit.

Speaker 37 What are you going to say, Billy?

Speaker 24 Is there going to be a gym?

Speaker 12 Yes. There will be a gym.

Speaker 63 Free weights. Yes.

Speaker 12 Squat racks. Yes.

Speaker 22 Yes.

Speaker 63 NFL training facilities.

Speaker 12 Yes. But

Speaker 21 think like high school.

Speaker 12 It's going to be bro sweet. It's going to be a shitty high school gym.

Speaker 43 It's going to be bro sweet.

Speaker 65 Yes.

Speaker 11 Are there any interviews you have done aside from Dan Bilzerian that you haven't aired yet? Why not? Uh-oh.

Speaker 57 I think we can tell one of them now.

Speaker 3 There was one.

Speaker 59 There's been two that I can think of.

Speaker 11 I can think of like.

Speaker 3 College basketball.

Speaker 21 No.

Speaker 27 Did we hear him? No.

Speaker 12 No, we didn't.

Speaker 23 Yeah, that one was tough.

Speaker 11 College basketball, Pudge Rodriguez.

Speaker 64 That one, he just didn't speak English, English, and we thought he did.

Speaker 38 And then, yeah, Big Poppy.

Speaker 35 So Big Poppy came in, and we were, it was in person.

Speaker 61 I like Big Poppy.

Speaker 12 I do, too.

Speaker 55 He was, I think there was some shit going on that day.

Speaker 18 I think he might have been going through a divorce during that time.

Speaker 42 He literally sat down.

Speaker 20 We asked him a question.

Speaker 29 He took out his phone and he started scrolling on his phone while we were asking him questions.

Speaker 22 So me and PFT just looked at each other and were like, okay.

Speaker 29 And I think maybe seven minutes in, I was like, all right, last question.

Speaker 11 I don't even think, I think it was the next question.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I was just like, last question.

Speaker 9 Thanks so much, Big Poppy.

Speaker 23 See you later.

Speaker 12 It was like, cool.

Speaker 3 I remember after he was going through his phone and like texting and doing all this, like very clearly not paying attention.

Speaker 3 I asked him, so you and Jared do a great podcast. You have people on there all the time doing interviews.

Speaker 3 Have you ever had somebody on that just like is completely checked out and not listening to what you guys are asking them? And he was like, no, they've all been cool.

Speaker 3 As he's like going through his phone, completely checked out.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 I kind of wanted to put that clip out there, but you know, he was doing a podcast with us at the time. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I still like him. I do too.
I think he was having a bad day.

Speaker 37 I think he was having a bad day, and we recognized almost immediately that this was the dumbest thing to do to try to stretch out an interview.

Speaker 6 And we almost had, like, me, Piety, and Hank all looked at each other.

Speaker 30 We're like, we're not airing this, so let's just end this right now.

Speaker 3 Was there any others?

Speaker 11 Pudge Rodriguez.

Speaker 11 There's one other one I can think of that I don't.

Speaker 12 You don't want to say? Nah.

Speaker 57 Why?

Speaker 3 Hoomst.

Speaker 19 I can't think of it.

Speaker 24 Bleep it. Say it and bleep it.

Speaker 12 Oh,

Speaker 12 yeah.

Speaker 53 That was just us being idiots.

Speaker 3 We should have them on. We should actually have them back on.
Yeah, we just.

Speaker 12 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 19 That would be funny bleep.

Speaker 44 People are not going to know what that is.

Speaker 12 What?

Speaker 61 We just...

Speaker 29 We forgot, and then it just became like a time thing.

Speaker 17 So that was stupid of us.

Speaker 3 And they also,

Speaker 3 I think by the time that we were going to put it out, they had done other interviews and they had said a lot of the same stuff that they said on our show.

Speaker 3 And so we should have them back.

Speaker 12 That was stupid of us. That was all on us.

Speaker 54 That was a total opposite of a big poppy thing.

Speaker 11 Appreciate the grind all of y'all do. What's a typical Sunday night look like during NFL season for everyone? When do you think of all the fastest two minutes?

Speaker 56 I mean, yeah.

Speaker 71 This is actually good because I had someone tweet me the other day.

Speaker 24 They're like, do you, I think it was a new AWO.

Speaker 19 They were like, do you record after all the games? Like, yeah.

Speaker 12 Yeah. So we

Speaker 3 watched the first games beginning to end.

Speaker 11 We used to do it a little differently.

Speaker 12 We did. Did we? We did, yeah.

Speaker 12 What do we used to do?

Speaker 11 Way back in the day. We used to try and record some like after 4 o'clock.

Speaker 12 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 I think season one, that's what we did. Yeah.
Season one of part of my take.

Speaker 3 But we start writing the boomers typically around halftime of the late games, like the four o'clock games. And then sometimes Nick helps out with those.

Speaker 5 Yep, Nick's been a huge help ghostwriting with us.

Speaker 19 We basically sit there in the gambling cave while the games are on, just shooting ideas back and forth.

Speaker 37 I type, and then we just, yeah, we just like say, All right, this game, and then we just all throw out ideas.

Speaker 3 Max was about to

Speaker 65 help, Hank helps.

Speaker 3 Max was about to come over and record us while we were doing the boomers last week, and then me and Big Cat looked at each other.

Speaker 3 We were like, you know what, we have we say a lot of bad things when we're just spitballing. It's a free, it's it's a free uh

Speaker 1 it's a safe space, it's a safe space where we have some some of the jokes are

Speaker 19 uncouth.

Speaker 3 Yes,

Speaker 3 there was one in particular last Sunday where I think the entire room just went.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 21 And I'll say,

Speaker 5 we were working on some Kobe helicopter material that we decided not to put in.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 19 So, yeah, we know where the line is, but we also have to push past the line to then come back to the appropriate stuff.

Speaker 3 You guys have to be able to land it well. Yeah.

Speaker 63 One comment as someone who watched it happen, the flow state that they get in is fascinating. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Flow state. I like that.

Speaker 63 Well, they come up with ideas, and you can tell it gets progressively like

Speaker 3 starts flowing faster.

Speaker 44 Yeah, it's like it's usually like one person says one thing, then one person tweaks it a little, then another person tweaks it a little more, and then you get the full sentence, and then we put it all together.

Speaker 19 And

Speaker 42 it is like the most collaborative thing we do in terms of like everyone just pitching in.

Speaker 3 Jake's been very helpful. Yeah, very helpful, especially like this year.
He's

Speaker 3 come prepared.

Speaker 52 Yeah.

Speaker 3 And then so I would imagine it no other way.

Speaker 20 Yeah, so ideally, we finish the boomers by about like seven o'clock.

Speaker 17 Then we will kind of like half-watch Sunday night football while we're getting everything else ready.

Speaker 19 And then on a good day, we'll start recording around halftime of Sunday night football. Sometimes we don't record till after Sunday night football, so we're usually done around 1.30.

Speaker 19 And then Max and Memes and Evan are here till fucking 4 or 5.

Speaker 65 It's a long, it's a long, long day.

Speaker 19 Like I leave my house house at like 11:30 in the morning. I don't get home until 2, but it's also one of those things, like, we get to watch football for a living, so can't complain.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's awesome.

Speaker 61 It's

Speaker 3 a lot of fun. And then every morning I'll wake up because

Speaker 3 you go to bed, you lay down. It's like 2 o'clock in the morning.
You don't really fall asleep until like 3 sometimes because you're coming down off the show.

Speaker 3 And then you wake up in the morning at like 8 and you see...

Speaker 3 The most recent text is like from Max or Memes at like 7 a.m., 6.30 a.m. sending clips over.
It's like, oh shit, they didn't go to bed at all tonight.

Speaker 21 Yeah, it's

Speaker 29 one of those things that somewhere around the middle of the season, I'm sure people see like there'll be one or two shows where we'll just be like tired and like agitated.

Speaker 23 It's because we're tired and agitated, but it is, it is the best job in the world.

Speaker 12 That it? Oh, and with that. Okay, great.

Speaker 21 Well, you have any other input on Sundays?

Speaker 65 They're long days.

Speaker 12 They're wars.

Speaker 11 Yeah, I mean, obviously,

Speaker 11 this is the first year I've not been the person editing the podcast. And the difference between going to sleep at three o'clock and the difference between going to sleep at like seven o'clock is

Speaker 11 profound. Life-changing.
Yeah.

Speaker 12 Yeah. I'm also, I've

Speaker 11 fucked my whole week.

Speaker 19 I've gotten to a point where I think I'm just like a

Speaker 3 five-hour, six-hour sleep guy.

Speaker 11 A-Rod said that to me back in the day, I never understood. I don't know.
I used to sleep six hours a day, and I remember looking at him being like, what?

Speaker 12 I'm tired always, but I've been, I mean, the last like week and a half, I've been on six hours of sleep, and I've, I haven't been like, I feel like I need to to like crash so maybe I've just reprogrammed my brain I've been feeling better this year too yeah this year's but I think it's early it is very early super early but but shifting the long macro dosing to recording on Wednesday yeah as opposed to Monday that that probably has a lot to do with it yeah yeah it is early and I always have to get up early now so yeah but we love it there's no no complaints um okay numbers Hank have you ever won this oh oh

Speaker 3 we're back to the orange balls though yeah these are regulation hank was was like, fuck, the blue balls didn't work for me.
