Why? Okay, let's go. Now in the street there is violence, and then there's lots of work to be done.

No place to hang out or wash in, and then I can't blame all on the sun.

Oh no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we'll take it higher.

Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we'll take it higher Oh, we're gonna rock Don't do it It's part of my take presented by Barstool Sports Welcome to part of my take presented by Game Time the exclusive ticketing app for Barstool Sports use code PMT for your first purchase today is Wednesday September 21st and I don't want to overre PFT, but the Bills and Eagles are playing in the Super Bowl. I like the Bills.
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. Because I was fooled.
Don't don't start with that. I was fooled.
I was fooled 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 last night.
I was just happy that we saw that Kirk Cousins because people, Kirk Cousins defenders were getting a little uppity after week one. And let's just say one of those interceptions was like he had three picks.
One was not his fault. That was Justin Jefferson.
Troy Aikman actually perfectly pointed it out. Like that's the biggest no-no right there a wide receiver ever did.
And then the last one was the end of the game where he just, you know, threw it up. So what about the second one? The second one was bad.
A hundred percent. The last one at the end.
I'm also going to put that last one on Kirk Cousins because he tried to throw that interception three times. Right.
And then it didn't work out the first two times he said fuck this i'm gonna i'm gonna give this ball to to slay because slay deserves the game ball and then he found him at the very end of it but it was it's so frustrating right when jay can you please remind us um on a weekly basis do not believe in kurt cousins don't believe his lies yeah because it was the perfect kurt Cousins game where we've said it a million times. When things are going well and the pass protection is there and Kirk Cousins has his time and things don't get off script, he can look great.
And then when the rush is there and he's check down after check down and panicking, he's Kirk Cousins. He's Kirk Cousins.
That's all you got to say that said Jalen Hurts is fucking awesome awesome Jalen Hurts is really good and I I love how every time he plays they show the video of him squatting like 700 pounds in college yep uh and then you have to go back and you remember the path that Jalen Hurts took to get to the NFL Jalen Hurts even though I 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,

I'm conditioned to hate Eagles.

I like Jalen Hurts.

Jalen Hurts is like the most likable dude in the NFL.

I mean, just the way he handled the whole Alabama thing

shows that he's a great dude and a great teammate.

There's a lot of guys that would have handled it very differently.

And remember, he came in that SEC championship game

and thing shows that he's a great dude and a great teammate like there's there's a lot of guys that would have handled it very differently and remember he came in that sec championship game and and and like rescued tua after tua had done the same for him in the national championship game i i also want to say i people know but i have a very substantial future on the eagle super bowl it's already paid off because i got to watch that monday night football game being like i'm smart. And the price went down enough now where I could be like, sharp bet.
Even if they don't even make the playoffs, I'm going to be like, sharp bet. That was great.
That's smart by me. Yeah.
It went from 22 to 1 to like 14 to 1. I'd like to go as far as to personally apologize to Tua.
Or not Tua, excuse me, to Jalen Hurts. That was a little Freudian slip.
Would you like to apologize to Tua as well? Tua, Jalen Hurts, Mac Jones. I don't have anything to apologize to Tua about.
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's good. That was awesome.
I watched that video. 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 in it.
It's like, oh, this guy's incredible. Yeah, college quarterbacks left-handed look sweet with the balls with the stripes on them.
NFL quarterbacks who are left-handed look like witches. Yeah, they just look goofy.
It looks 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 go, I'd like to apologize for our stadium almost killing him last year. And actually, that's probably when I knew that he's a good guy that I want to root for.
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.
And I love this Eagles team. They're fucking – they got guys everywhere.
Yeah. Dudes everywhere.

I watched the games last night right after, put in a bet, Barstow Sportsbook, plus 1850, Eagles, Bills, Super Bowl.

Oh.

Anything less is an abject failure.

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

As a guy –

No, they're both – they both look unbelievable.

They do.

I don't know how either of these teams don't make the Super Bowl.

Wow.

Yeah.

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

As a Philadelphia representative this year, that's fucked up.

I'm going. Yeah.
I know what you're doing. Dreams and nightmares.
I feel like these are the two fan bases you've gone to war against the most. Yeah.
I know exactly what you're doing. I will say this about the Bills fans.
I kind of said the Bengals were a similar story, but 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. 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.
Like I would rather, since we're watching these sports anyway, I would rather the teams with the diehard fan bases that haven't won in a long time win the games. It's better for everything.
So the Bills winning, like, and I do love Buffalo. We love going there.
Great people, great time. They love to party.
It would be an unbelievable run. Question for you.
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? No. They're not going to make the playoffs.
Yeah, they are. Are they? Yes, they are.
We'll see. TBD.
They have the best record in the last two months. I mean, they'll get bounced in the wild card probably.
Maybe outside the Dodgers. The Dodgers just don't lose.
They probably won't even sell out their playoff games. What were you going to say, Billy? Super Bowls in Arizona? Super Bowls in Arizona.
Could they handle that tailgate? The Bills versus Eagles? No. No.
The world can't handle that. I think Amsterdam is probably the only place that's equipped to handle that.
They need to go to international waters for the Bills-Eagles Super Bowl. Maybe the distance might prevent too much traveling? No.
No. Definitely not.
For those two fan bases, there will be a study done a study done if the bills make the super bowl there'd be a study like 20 years from now like all these kids in buffalo not being able to afford college because like their parents took out credit cards in their names to go to the super bowl or there will just be like a a major increase in people from buffalo that just stay in arizona yeah yeah they'll just never leave they'll never have the money to get back. They emptied their bank accounts to get to Arizona.
There also might be a lot of people that just, there should be an amnesty for people quitting their jobs in Buffalo. 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. Schools will be closed down for two weeks in Buffalo if they make the Super Bowl it was crazy watching those two games because they were basically mirror image of of themselves where Josh Allen was out of this world Stefan Diggs out of this world three touchdowns like 140 yards whatever it was and you had Ryan Tannehill then throwing just you know terrible picks and looking like Ryan Tannehill and then you flip over and it's Jalen Hurts having an insane first half and Kirk Cousins being Kirk Cousins.
It was a complete whomping by the Eagles and the Bills. I walked away from both being like, I don't think the Vikings and Titans are that bad.
I just think the Eagles and Bills are that good, especially the Bills. The Bills are a total juggernaut.
Yeah, the Bills are awesome. Ryan Tannehill is going back to being Ryan Tannehill.
I'm sure that he'll have a nice little six-game stretch this season where he makes me kind of reevaluate whether or not he's still Ryan Tannehill. Yeah.
But as of right now, he is. And their offense looks a lot less dynamic without having A.J.
Brown out there. And I like Burks, but yeah, it's very different.
And watching A.J. Brown in this Eagles offense eagles just have like dudes they it felt like no one covered anyone for the vike like the vikings just their game plan was like let's let the eagles just run free and hope it works and it didn't work also i want to we we have defended the city of uh minnesota or the state of minnesota the city of minneapolis and their sports hell that they been in.
But I have something that I have to push back on. Minnesota, what the fuck are you doing not retiring Randy Moss's number? Oh, yeah, number 84.
Irv Smith dropping that ball that was a clear touchdown that could have changed the scope of the game and how it was being played. That's on you.
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 that's a bad sports town move to not retire one of the greatest wide receivers of all time probably if you 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.
The following numbers have been retired by the Minnesota Vikings. Fran Tarkenton, number 10.
Mick Tinglehoff, number 53. No, don't.
That's a great name. He's a great player.
Tinglehoff. Jim Marshall, number 70.
Who could forget Tinglehoff. Corey Stringer.
Okay, get it. Chris Carter, number 80.
And then Alan John Randall uh no John Randall retired what are you doing Vikings it's it's sad uh Chris Carter ahead of Randy Moss like I I understand that Chris Carter was that makes sense he was Mr. Viking but Randy Moss is the greatest wide receiver of all time I still have Jerry Jerry Rice, but yeah.
No. Whatever.
Yeah. The debate goes forever.
Yeah. I go back and forth.
I actually have said both. I think Randy.
But you have to say Randy Moss is the most talented. Right.
Jerry Rice is the best. Is the best.
Yeah. I actually completely agree with that.
But yeah. How do you not have it retired? It is weird.
It's very, very strange. And you have this guy.
Like, that is just karma. 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.
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. So I don't know where, again, it is like knee-j 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.
They've looked unstoppable. And this actually goes back to their playoff run because again, that Chiefs game, like that was their defense, not Josh Allen on the offense.
He played perfect football. So I don't know what you hope for weather, I guess.
The Bills look completely. And Gabe Davis wasn't even playing.
They've won their last 20 games by double digits. Their last 20 victories have been double-digit victories, which is just insane.
They didn't punt until the third quarter of their second game. And when they did punt, it hit the other guy in the face and they recovered it.
Yes, and the Bills are getting into that territory of it looks like Oklahoma playing Tulsa every weekend. You know what I mean? The mismatch just feels so large.
And I guess we'll see what happens when Tua, the hottest quarterback in the world, goes and plays the Bills this weekend. But I don't think you can overstate how good the Bills are.
There's no O in Allen's last name. So that, on paper, as far as the system goes, that's a system play towards the Buffalo Bills.
Whose line is it anyway? What's that line? Is it in Buffalo? In Buffalo, I think, right? Nope, it's at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. That line is...
Wait, last year, remember, the Bills went to Florida. Bad time.
Bills minus two and a half. No, I think it's more.
It's got to be Bills minus... Bills, four.
Five and a half. Five and a half.
That was close. Six.
Hungry Dog? That would be ended at six. I kind of like the Dolphins on that one.
That's a juicy hungry dog. Did you see Mike Vrabel after the game? He was walking through the concourse, and there was a fan that yelled at him.
It was before the game. It was before the game.
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 that sound bite from McDermott goes, he was joking around, but I think that even joking around, he can get under... Frabel doesn't like to hear that from anybody, that anybody thinks that they could take him.
But now I want to see the fight. Yeah, and I feel bad for Frabel because it does...
I mean, the Titans are clearly trading A.J. Brown and drafting Malik Willis.
Like, hey, we're going to slowly transition here. This might be something that's not sustainable because we keep going to the playoffs and Ryan Tannehill happens.
So it's going to be a tough year for the Titans. Like, I don't really – 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.
Like, that was an absolute beatdown. I did like getting to see malik willis at the end of the game though yeah and case kingdom that's i mean the bills are doing an entire quarter of backups that's that's so ridiculous in the nfl is derrick henry like found out well i think he's just getting him have they solved him i think he's getting solved i think two older, and there's no A.J.
Brown to stretch the field, and maybe three things. I mean, our boy Taylor Luan, I hope he's okay.
Might have been another ACL, which sucks. Yeah, the league has figured out Derek Henry.
Or that. And it's just that tackle him.
You know what? You've got to put eight guys in the box. Yeah.
That's how they figured it out. Yeah.
And, I mean, Josh Allen's the new no-one-can-tackle-him guy. 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.
Yeah, like side hurdles. While, like, kicking his leg over a guy's head and then landing on his other foot.
He's just figuring out different ways to extend plays at the end of it. He did do that thing where at the end of a fourth down play, he just tried to throw the ball.
Yeah. Just mash all the buttons.
He hit all the buttons at once, and then he fell down as he was throwing the ball, almost got intercepted. That was the low light of the Bills' night last night.
That was it. They didn't convert one fourth down and two yards.
Besides that, it was a perfect game. Another highlight of the game was Dan Orlovsky potentially farting in the announcer's box, farting and sneezing at the same time as they were going through the pregame warm-ups.
I want to see the tape because there is tape, right? 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.
If you saw Dan Orlovsky just blow, rip a juicy one into his microphone and pregame, please send that to us. 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.
Yeah. Cause your body's just looking to have something escape from it.
Dan's like, I need to get something out of a hole 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.
He's getting all horned up. Getting Randy.
Max, we should actually talk to Max Homa, so we'll call you back, girl. That was Max Homa's request.
You are an Eagles fan. How are you feeling? Knowing that Hank just tried to jinx us i don't give a fuck about hank um that that was a clear strategy by him and it doesn't won't affect me at all this has been the best day ever obviously you're welcome it's a week it's a week to week league and right now we're winning the super bowl i agree it's one of those things where i went to sleep at like 2 a.m and just watched every single highlight of of the game and was looking for every piece of analysis I was I like went on the podcast app this morning and was just watching listening to random Eagles podcast I love it from people I've never heard it's the best feeling waking up after a game yeah it really is I'll give I'll give Philadelphia another compliment because it was playing the Vikings 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 Birds! That was the NFC Championship game, yeah.
Is one of the funniest videos of all time. And it literally, like, that is every Eagles fan in my mind is that guy.
And it's so funny. It's also great in sports when you have the random one team owns another that they don't play that often.
And the Eagles just completely own the Vikings. Like, completely own them.
You know, like, it's one thing, obviously, like, the Packers own the Bears, but they play twice a year. It just feels like every time the Eagles and Vikings color combo matches, it's like, yeah, the Eagles are going to kill them.
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. So he's getting right up in that lady's face.
He becomes not human for a second. He just like...
He becomes pure Philadelphia. 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 yeah it's it's philadelphia 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 like are kind of jerks but they can they can be regular humans every now and then that was just pure like untouched philadelphia it was uncut philly it was itilly. What's the word for that? Filtinal? Filtinal.
There we go. Got it.
I'll workshop on that. One other thing, Vicetta.
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... I think it was one snap from Kirk Cousins.
I literally was like, primetime Kirk Cousins, I'm such a fucking idiot. It was over the second they had one play.
And it was also the Eagles' first drive where it was like, I think they got maybe a holding penalty and they went to first and 20. He's like, that's not a problem.
I can tell the second I watched Kirk Cousins in primetime too. Right, Hank, what you're saying, when you tune in and you him and his 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 k Kirk Cousins is going to do.
And it's so infuriating. And I've fallen into this trap.
Like, it happens. It happens probably twice a season now to me.
And I just need to go cold turkey away from Kirk Cousins. I think America needs to quit Kirk Cousins.
Yeah, and 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? Like, hey, dude, Justin Fields doesn't even like the fan base. So, yeah, I agree.
Like, we got problems. But at least I'm honest about my problems, whereas Kirk Cousins fans delude themselves into thinking he's something that he's not.
Yeah. Coach Sirianni, coach of the year.
Yeah. Tried to tell you.
I mean, he looks like the front runner right now. I'm Philly Dan this year.
I'm happy I made this bet because at least I have a team that can play competent football that I can turn on the TV and be like, go birds. And then Justin Fields does that.
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. And people got – like, I actually – I'm fine with that.
Like, I think the players probably – I'd prefer them to care very, very much and be upset when they lose. 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.
Of course, he's going to be like, yeah, I care about my teammates more than I care about the fans. That's the only thing is you shouldn't say it yeah well it was a leading question 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 and he's like we really want to win this game as players yeah i'm i'm happy he's he he wants to win the game very badly but he should justin field 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 yeah 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 i think it's just a young quarterback saying something that he'll learn that he shouldn't say out loud.
Yeah. Because I bet if you asked anybody else in the league, or most players in the league, do you care more about your teammates or do you care about the fans that you don't know? They'll be like, well, my teammates are my friends.
Right. And I go to war with them.
I go to war with them, and I hang out with them, and they're my life. But fans do pay the bills.
Fans do pay the bills. No league without the fans, remember.
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.
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 investing our heart, our egos, our sense of self-worth, everything.
everything 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 to tell it to point it out to remind us because then then we feel like right and it was also just a perfect story because i escaped sunday night football being like that wasn't the most embarrassing thing ever and then justin field's comments like you know hit the internet and everyone was making fun of bears fans so um you know who does care shout out we just got to give him a shout out our boy barstool lenny he tweeted he's like uh sorry to all my fantasy owners touchdowns coming soon that's fucking cool okay we gotta bet on them then yeah we gotta bet on touchdowns coming soon for net touchdown this week touchdownsdown's coming soon. Okay, we'll do a little college football, then we'll do Hot Seat, Cool Throne.

College football.

Georgia is so good.

They're an NFL team.

They're the Bills.

Their defense is an NFL defense.

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

It's ridiculous. They are so good.

That dude, Malachi Starks, I think he could play in the NFL right now as a freshman. They all could.
I mean, I'm already believing in Stetson Bennett being an NFL quarterback. That's how good they are.
Calling all the dogs. And we also had Herm Edwards get fired literally on the field.
So 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.
So I watched the video and then I was like, oh, shit. Yeah.
Thoughts and prayers to Herm Edwards. It looks like he got fired on the field.
He definitely did. If he didn't get fired on the field, then I don't know what conversation they had because he walked away.
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 yeah and i'm also relieved that i'm it's over with yeah 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 i think the school president's being a school president yeah so he walks up.
Yeah. So he walks up to him, and I think Herm Edwards is like, that was a tough game.
We just lost to Eastern Michigan. And it felt like the AD was like, yeah, real tough.
We're going to have to do something different. And he's like, huh? Yeah.
And so then they walked off. They're like, yeah, that means you're fired.
So the Herm Edwards tenure will be remembered for being, like, better than expected in year one. Yeah, it was fun for a year.
That's kind of like the thing that if you look back on you're like yeah it was okay for one year 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 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 post post-mortem article about what happened to Arizona State football. But from what I've seen so far, it's like Herm did not care that much about – he's too much of a people person.
So he didn't care about the recruiting rules. If there was a recruit around him, he was going to go talk to that person and then be Herm Edwards because that's what he does.
And he also, I mean, we said this when he got hired.

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

College football coaching is not easy.

You have to live it and breathe it all the time.

So whenever a guy goes from being semi-retired for an extended period of time,

like, okay, now you have to go and fly.

You have to go win a game, 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 that's not like fun that's a lot different than doing some hits on ESPN and playing golf all day so I I never thought it was gonna work um but we did have that first year where it felt like he was doing something it did work yeah for yeah for a very brief period of time so now that um that opening has entered into the Urban Meyer discussion as well. And if you know what the Sun Devil's hand symbol is, I feel like Urban's probably the front runner in that conversation.
But Nebraska Urban rumors are hot. 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 Saban, he's the best college coach alive right now,

I would say.

Counterpoint, though.

How satisfying would it be to watch him fail at Nebraska?

It would.

That would be pretty good.

But you know what he's going to do is he's going to do the press conference.

He'll be like, I always loved Nebraska.

Nebraska's football.

We're going to run the ball.

And he'll figure out a way to make them great because he's done it literally every stop that he's had um so yeah i'm very afraid of this i want i would prefer it be like matt rule in nebraska because i know that matt i know matt rule no matter what i can still make fun of him for spitting on himself so so if urban meyer goes to nebraska and he tries to and he does around, we're going to get the Urban Meyer redemption story within record time because when he got fired from the Jaguars, he was like – he was unhirable. Yeah.
And so then it's about six months later, eight months later, and all of a sudden he's the hottest name. It just goes to show you that if you're a big state school, you will throw whatever sense of morality you have out the window.
Let's win some football games. Urban Meyer at Nebraska, I'm confidently saying they will be in a college football playoff.
And I would say if you told me he's staying there for 10 years, I'd say they'd win a national championship. He's that good of a coach.
He's proven it. He made Utah really fucking good.
Florida, then going to Ohio State. All he that all he does is win 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 the tom osborne years and winning national titles, it would be so cool if Nebraska just hired Jeff Munkin 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. Because I don't know how you would defend it if you had, like, five-star dudes buying in to triple option.
You're obsessed with triple option. No, with triple option no the triple option triple option is fucking best dude you can't triple option is so they don't use it for a reason no what are you talking about army uses it army air force navy ferris state won the d2 championship using it yeah triple option but hank triple option is used because army navy and air force they want i think they changed the, but for a while they couldn't have offensive linemen over a certain weight, so they needed guys just cut blocking and beating them with scheme.
I'm saying if Alabama just started running the triple option with their athletes, they would kill everyone, and it would be so much fun to watch. There's a small difference between that and the single wing offense.
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.
I want to see. I think you could get elite athletes to buy into the single wing because it does have a little bit more spice to it, and it's not just power football all the time.
I want the Bears to run the triple option. We already have a triple option quarterback throwing 11 times a game.
That's perfect.

Like, we've done the hard part. Don't pass.
What's that look, Billy? Technically, you could run a triple option out of the single wing. Oh, yeah.
See? So it encompasses everything. It's like the triple option on steroids.
Yeah, but Nebraska. Which is Nebraska football, actually.
Nebraska's 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. Yeah.
Because, like, I mean, you just need, like, all they got to do is recruit, like, a really fast 5'9 quarterback, have them 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.
He missed out. Ever since you let him walk to what was it? North Platt? You missed out.

Chadron High School?

College football, we're getting

conference play starting up.

Wisconsin plays

Ohio State this weekend, so please just leave me

alone, everyone. That's going to suck

so bad. Shout out Syracuse.

Syracuse. 3-0.
3-0.

And Kansas. And Kansas and Duke.
Kansas and Duke play each other this weekend I believe what a match I do yeah they're undefeated that's great yeah they should they should have moved that to like the like late November and just had like a doubleheader Kansas champions class yeah Madison Square Garden Kansas Duke and football yeah that would have been fun I think JMU PFT is gonna is gonna win so Jay as well Sunbelt JMU is like the best offensive team in football. Yeah.
That would have been fun. I think JMU, PFT, is going to win.
So, 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.
We might be just behind Michigan, and that's it. I think it's an all-time letdown spot for Appalachian State.
I mean, after that kind of had their letdown spot, they almost lost to Troy. But then they got back up again.
Right. So now it's another letdown.
Winning on a Hail Mary is a high. But the game day after Texas A&M was the letdown spot.
But they continued on that. Yeah, no, I get it.
But I'm just saying that was... They're due for a letdown.
Okay. Another one.
Appalachian State... They didn't have a letdown.
They are the most exciting team in the country. The way that they play every single week.
It's crazy. They lost to UNC.
No, but they won. No, I know.
I know. But that was the scare of the letdown.
That was, they won on an insane way. But that is a coach, like, coach could be like, you guys lost that game.
Get back in there and work. Where if they killed Troy, I'd be like, yeah, real letdown spot.
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 they deserve it if JMU beats them by like 10 points in Boone I feel like JMU might be ranked in their first season who have they played though nobody though? Nobody. Absolutely nobody.
So that might be tough. But if they beat Appalachian State, who has, what, 77 votes to be in the poll? Right.
If they smoke them in Boone, it's not out of this world to think that they could be ranked. Is Appalachian State ranked? Appalachian State has 77 votes.
But they're not ranked. So they would be ranked number 28 in the country.
Yeah, I think they'd probably have to win a couple more. I'm just telling you that is how the voters work.
Maybe, maybe. You've got to win.
I mean, the fact that Appalachian last year beat Texas A&M at Texas A&M. The fact that we're even having the conversation about it, though, is still kind of surreal to me.
Well, you started the conversation. Yeah, that was smart.
That was smart by you. The fact that we're even talking about this is crazy.
We're discussing it. That's a genius thing.
Okay, should we do Hot Seat Cool Throne? Texas A&M. One more thing about them.
I think I've gone full circle on the Yale leaders. I think I kind of like them now.
Oh, man. Because they're so bad.
Yeah. They keep going reviral, and the videos keep leaking out there, despite Texas A&Mm's best efforts to delete them and they're so bad now that i think that they're good well they're and they're the fact they're taking it down though makes it like that's the lame part it is oh yeah that's the lamest part like if you just embrace that that's what you are a weird cult yeah i think that i would land more on your side but they're like actively trying to d DMCA everyone.
They're like, what are you doing? If you, if you have to repeatedly tell people that you're not a cult every week, chances are you're probably a cult. Yeah.
But it is, it's funny how Texas A&M and those videos in particular are, are serving the purpose of making Notre Dame actually look like youthful and edgy. Yeah.
Notre Dame is like, yeah, this is a cool program that I'd want to go to. Marcus Freeman's in trouble.
He might not be a good coach. I'm actually going to say that.
He's not. Quick question on the Midnight Yell guys.
Yeah. Are they reciting chants that they replace the names and mascots every week, or are they making those up new every week? Because some of them are really weird and outdated weird and outdated yeah it's a good question billy i don't really care to know the answer to it i don't want to know the answer it's like looking too much into scientology yeah i don't i don't want to get into it because i'm sure that once i find out that 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 every time i get closer to finding out exactly exactly what that's all about i think i'm getting closer to joining the cult right as texas 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 i don't want more information on texas a&m to like replace some you know sick stone cold uh wrestling match from like the late 90s i don't want to lose that for Texas A&M.
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.
No, they'll never stop. They'll never stop.
I think if this keeps going down, you remember the gathering of the Juggalos almost got ruined because journalists paid too much attention to every year i don't want this to to fall into that scene i want texas a&m to keep doing their weird cult-like behaviors so that i can continue to make fun of them from afar yeah i don't want them to change their traditions yes keep keep being weird keep being a cult um okay hot seat cool throne brought to you by Coors Light.

Hank, hot seat, cool throne. Sorry, just looking at the Water Dogs championship merch.
Oh, hell yes. One second.
My hot seat is Yankees fans. Oh.
Why? Aaron Judge is going for the record. Yep.
Which record? And if he breaks it on Friday, it will be on Apple TV. Oh, no.
I love that. Oh, no.
I love that for them so much. Way to stay relevant, baseball.
Damn. The other fun little wrinkle with that is that foul ball guy has made it his mission to try and catch Aaron Judge's 60-second home run and Pujols' 700.
He'd have to retire. Well, Pujols isn't going to hit 700, but he'd have to retire.
I think he is. No.
he's not. They keep throwing fucking meatballs, softball practice.

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

And he already is.

Think about the odds of that happening.

Even just one of two.

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.

There's no chance.

There's zero chance.

And 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 the home run king. He's the home run king at that point.
I would say, like, if you just said that as any human being, there's 0% chance. Foul ball guy, there's always a chance.
That guy does miracles. My other hot seat is Avatar.
Oh. This has been pissing me off 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.

The first time I saw the commercial, I was like, oh, shit, Avatar 2.

Let's go.

New one, yeah.

They're just putting Avatar back in theaters.

Yeah. Like 10 years after it came out.
Yeah. that's to refresh everyone's memory for the new one because nobody remembers any characters or any of the plot from the original avatar but but it's just like the studio it made so much money the first time the studios were just like fuck it yeah run it back watch it.
I don't think so. I hope not.
No, they will. Why don't studios do this more often with just like every classic movie? Yeah.
But it's not. It's been 10 years.
I'd see Goodfellas in a fucking movie theater. A million percent.
No, you wouldn't. Yes, I would.
Are you kidding me? Matt Damon described how new movies aren't as good because of streaming services. So let's just replay the classic.
Yeah, bring them back. let's just pretend it's back in, what, 1996? Was that when Shawshank Redemption came out? Titanic, maybe.
As Forrest Gump. Date night movies that were sick run them back so the new generation could get laid.
That's good. I like it.
Good call. Kids don't fuck anymore, Billy.
Not in the movie theaters. Pee Wee Herman ruined that.
What's your cool throne? Yeah, whatever. I guess I'm alone on that.
You're being a downer. You're being grumpy.
No, I like Avatar. I got hyped.
I'm like, let's go Avatar 2. Sounds like you don't.
And then I was like, wait a second. This is just Avatar 1.
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.
I know people who watch it all night. I don't know why you're upset about that.
If you really liked Avatar, you'd either, one, want to go see it again in theaters, or two, let other people see it in theaters. I don't understand what's making you angry.
Put out the second Avatar. Okay, it's not I.
Okay, I get that. You're antsy.
This is a little appetizer. But I've eaten the appetizer like a hundred times.
So you're not going to get mozzarella sticks when you go to the fucking Applebee's? We're judging Hank's taste in appetizers. I don't really trust him on appetizers.
That's a good one, Billy. I don't know the characters.
Stumped. That's why you need to go rewatch it.
There's blue guy. There's blue woman.
And then there's the Colonel, the general. Okay.
Your cool. My cool throne's Adnan.
Yeah. He's out.
He's free. Free.
We did it. Hey, congrats to all podcast listeners out there.
This is, we're sharing this. Everybody that's ever listened to a podcast had a big part in justice today.
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?

Yeah, that guy's out.

Yeah, Kirk did get a person arrested.

Arrested, yeah.

Like a serial killer.

Yes.

He put a serial killer behind the bars.

And now Sarah Koenig just shows up and is like, hey, remember my voice? I got Adnan free. And also, I still want to fuck him.
Great music, too. She definitely fell in love with him.
She definitely fell in love with him. 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. They're saying there was prosecutorial misconduct.
You nailed it. what got bill cosby off yeah um not saying that they're equivalent but there was a guy that had threatened to kill that lady uh jay is that her name yeah no jay was the guy uh it's been a while since it actually kind of sucks that we don't know the name of the person that was killed and and we spend all our time talking about potential murderers of her.

That's kind of sad.

But, hey, it was hey.

I think hey, hey, it was hey.

So we don't know.

There was a guy that threatened to murder her.

Sounds like that might be your suspect.

And that might be the guy.

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.
Maybe we'll get another season. Yeah.
Serial. Yeah.
Okay. Good job, Hank.
Great job. Cool throne.
Thanks. Except for the avatar shit.
My hot seat is chess. There's a, 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.
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 Carlsen. Magnus Carlsen is the GOAT.
He is the best chess player of all time. My personal GOAT.
He's your personal GOAT? You're not a Gary Kasparov guy? Nope. Okay, Magnus Carlsen, 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. He's been the best player for like 10 years.
He's gotten so good at chess that he's decided not to defend his title. Instead, he's going for the all-time ranking.
He's going for points. He's just 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.
So that's Magnus Carlsen. 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. And his name is Hans Niemann.
And what happened was Hans Niemann, he's very low-rated compared to Magnus. He's not on the GOAT level just yet.

Yeah, he's trash.

He's up and coming, but he's the new generation.

He's a new boy on the block.

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.

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

He beats the shit out of Magnus Carlsen. Oh, no.
Just absolutely destroys him. And then after the match is over, Magnus Carlsen tweets out that he's retiring from that tournament.
And then he puts a little video attached to it of Jose Mourinho saying, 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.
Do you know how the accusations of how he's cheated? Yeah, 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, there are chess detectives out there. You know how on message boards and shit for runners, you try to catch cheaters and all that stuff they start digging into his past find out he's been banned from chess.com multiple times in the past can't have 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 nieman they

give him like a wand and they frisk him and like the guy's clean he doesn't have anything on him

that could signal what to use so what a lot of these players have done in the past to cheat

And They search Hans Niemann. They give him, like, a wand, and they frisk him.
And, like, the guy's clean. He doesn't have anything on him that could signal what to use.
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 chess board and tells them where to move their piece. And it makes them play, like, a perfect game.
Right. You just follow the chess engine.
So they don't find anything on him.

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.

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.

It's like the Avengers.

It's kind of like the Avengers. By the way, if you do that, I think that's fair game.
If you put anal beads in your ass to vibrate during a chess game, 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 Matt, he is our goat, but Magnus is, is throwing all these weird claims out and he's not backing them. He's offering zero explanation.
Yeah, that's not good. I think, okay, so this is where I got a little bit too far into the weeds because I think that Magnus, he's got anal beads.
Oh, and that he's recognizing that the guy that he's playing against is stealing his trick, which is also using anal beads. Whoever smelt it, dealt it.
And he's confused. Wait, but is Magnus accusing him of anal beads? No, he's just throwing out random cryptic messages, not outright accusing him.
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 you know who else has the internet magnus carlson 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 they don't like 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.
And then they finally have another matchup yesterday, and Magnus quits after one move. He retires, and he disconnects might not be.
This goat thing might not be working out for us. He might be baby back bitch.
Yeah, he might be bad. I think Hans Niemann might be our new goat.
Okay, I'm in. You swayed me.
Squat and cough and make him play. Yeah.
Play nude. Play nude, yeah.
Or just make them take a shit before they start. Yeah.
During. They have to play on toilets.
Yes. I like that.
Yeah. And you have to drop a log before every move.
Yes. Yes.
They have to take a laxative and play chess on toilets. 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.
A lot of shit. And then my cool throne was going to be what Hank did.
Serial. So my hot seat was long enough.
So we'll keep it moving. All right.
My hot seat. I have two.
Cool throne avatar. My hot seat is Bryson DeChambeau getting assaulted by a rope.
If you missed this clip, I don't know how you missed it. But he walked into a rope that was very visible, very visible, then took a knee and was like, I can't see my eye.
You thought that he would have like he got shot by a sniper the way he was a laser beam. It was one of those laser beam.
It was insane how he reacted. It was so perfect.
It feels like it's been a while since we've had. Oh, this guy sucks moment with Bryson so it was good to have that 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 he he's he head butts a rope and then he falls to the ground and then proceeds to immediately blame everyone around him for the rope existing yes he's like fuck guys what the fuck.
What the fuck? What the fuck was that? Shit. He just yelled it.
Yeah. Not to, 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.
Yeah. And to not have to cross over the ropes.
Perfectly normal. Yeah.
But it was just, you got to watch it. It was so and then my other hot seat is uh tom brady's social team because russell wilson has just completely ripped off his uh post game videos like identical 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 te Texans was even better.
Yeah. It was just like run plays because he had no good passes.
Everything was exactly identical. Identical.
Going from 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 wilson was like yep i'm in he's he he you know he had a banger for week one if they had won that game so he was probably pissed he had to do the texans then uh my cool throne is that is the twins the minnesota twins um i don't know if you guys saw this but the twins finally have their url so uh durland and darvin miller twins have been squatting on the twins.com url for uh since 1995 very funny guys they're they have a picture together where it's like they're kind of like embracing a little bit and they've been interviewed and they're like yeah everyone always knew us as the twins so we got.com.
And they're like, when you think of twins, you think of us. So I'm happy for Minnesota.
They finally have twins.com. Yeah, so I just typed it.
Did they get a bag? It redirects them. It was not disclosed, but I think they said they had been offered $750,000 before.
So look at these guys. They're twins.
That's crazy. Yeah.
And they're like, yeah, I think the exact quote, they're the cockiest twins ever.

And they made a lot of money from this.

Yeah.

My brother, Darvin.

So I'm Durland, my brother, Darvin, and we are the twins.

His name's Durland?

Durland and Darvin.

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. The twins.
The twins. They said they also have a friend who, at the same time in 1995, their friend Jeff got the URL jeff.com.
That's pretty sweet. Shout out to jeff.com.
Jeff.com, that was a hot one. Yeah,, Jeff.com.
What's the new real estate land grab on the internet right now?

.eths.

.eths?

I've seen a lot of those, yeah, a lot of like usernames.

Yeah.

Is twins.eth, is that taken?

Durland probably squatted on that.

Yeah, Durland.

So shout out to the twins for getting the twins.

Billy.

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 yeah although i'm gonna say right now because i looked at this article he uh he definitely eats meat yeah because he was tyson foods bought beyond meat so he used to work for tyson's food he was uh uh the president of global mcdonald's so this guy's a meat eater so that's that's the problem is you don't have a vegan running beyond meat or he could just be eating too much beyond meat recently true and he was craving some more meat i think the whole thing for beyond meat though is uh it's 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 he also um uh the article that i read about it was uh he was one of his chairs when he was at mcdonald's was executive safety council so that's good the guy who got so mad at a parking garage that he bit another man's nose off. I'm just going to say at an Arkansas football game, you should be allowed to bite another man's face off.
Yeah. I think that plays for Arkansas specifically.
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. Don't bump my car.
I think also the car that it it was it was the most lopsided fight ever because he he jumped out and was like i'm gonna kill you uh 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 so that like he was minus 10 000 to win that fight yeah was the other guy was was the other guy a fan of Missouri State? I don't know, but he went from 0 to 100 very quickly because he bumped him. Then he smashed, Ramsey, the guy, Beyond Meat guy, smashed his window, started, took him out of the car, started punching him and bit his nose off of a bump in a parking garage.
I'm okay with an Arkansas fan biting an opposing fan, not if it's not if it's missouri state yeah you can't do that with missouri state it's got to be an sec opponent i agree and your cool throne my cool throne is all of us biden said the pandemic's over all right oh nice yeah we did it guys we did it joe yeah fucking did it love it very cool nice good job so what does that mean? Thank you, Joe. It's over.
All right. All right.
He said. It's been over for us for, what, a month into the pandemic? It was over for us.
That was a real bummer over the last couple years. Yeah.
I mean, it's over. Yeah.
He did it. He solved it.
Officially. Officially.
Jake. My hot seat.
Bedlam. Yeah.
Fuck that. I know.
Once Oklahoma leaves for the SEC The series is over It's disgusting They'll come back Yeah They should Five years What's to stop them From just Just playing Bedlam Because they don't Like if you're Oklahoma You're gonna play An SEC schedule And you also have to Play Oklahoma State They're gonna want to Schedule nobodies In September I think it will Come back though It will come back Like 2030 Yeah They'll be like This was stupid Let's play again They're going to want to schedule nobody's in September. I think it will come back, though.
It will come back. Like 2030.
Yeah. They'll be like, this was stupid.
Let's play again. They're going to make us want it.
Sometimes colleges just make you beg for stuff. Yeah.
And then they're like, okay, we'll do the cool thing everyone wants. It is sad, but we do get Texas A&M back, which was a great rivalry before it went away.
Yeah, absolutely. And my cool thrones, retirements.
Apparently today is a big day to retire if you're a big name in the NHL. We had Chara, PK Subban, and Keith Yandel all retired today.
And I'm not a huge hockey guy, but I know those guys. I think Keith Yandel did it on Spitting Chicklets.
Yes, he did. Exclusive.
Yeah. Shout out to the boys.
Legend. Yeah.
Sok. Yeah.
Tough day for hockey fans, but harass those guys on retirement. Yeah, Char, Caps legend.
Great careers. Never forget.

And now, here is Max Homa. Okay, we now welcome on our very good friend, recurring guest, and back-to-back Fortnite champion.
It is Max Homa, fresh off his victory. It's literally like 12 hours after he won.
I guess let's start there, because we're going to talk President's Cup as well which you're playing in this week uh that was I all I really have to say is holy shit I can't believe how that all transpired um for people who didn't watch Max uh hold out with a what were you like 20 feet away yeah 20 30 feet and then Danny Willett missed two five-foot putts for you,

three putts for you to win.

And I have to ask, because we were watching it live,

I noticed after you won, you didn't really celebrate

because it was like you didn't really win.

Danny Willett just lost.

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

I have to kind of act a little sad here um great question uh big cat uh good question yeah I don't know I didn't I didn't want to uh I didn't want to like celebrate uh obviously I was trying to 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.
I have heard that Mercury's in retrograde, and that's why some crazy stuff's been going on. So I just kind of have to tip my cap to Mercury, I think.
Shout out to planets. And you did win.
That hole out was fucking awesome. That was insane.
Thank you. What was the conversation like with your caddy before you hit that shot? Did you know, like, okay, I have to go for this.
I have to actually try to make this shot if I want any chance of winning. Yeah, I felt dead.
I mean, I assumed Danny was going to make that putt. But before I hit it, Joe just said, make him make it.
So at least make him earn it a little bit. If I missed that, I guess he could just kind of tap it up and have two putts to win.
It was just one of those Hail Mary crazy. I don't think I've ever had anything like that happen, especially on the last hole, just something so unbelievable.
But yeah, Joe just just said just make him make the putt and give it a chance. And, yeah, just smoked the pin and just went straight down.
It was insane. After – so you shake hands with Danny Willett.
Did you see him, like, in the locker room after anything? You were like, man, those greens, tough today. Like, kind of like putting your head down, like, damn, that was – Sorry.
Yeah, like, sorry, dude. Do you apologize? That's brutal.
I just realized you guys would be the worst people to lose, too. You would say everything bad.
Yes. Yes.
Actually, that's right. I did not say that.
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.

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

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

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

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

Jake would be so accidentally, like, rude.

Yeah.

People would punch him, but he's just the nicest guy ever.

Yes. 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, I like the nickname, the nickname works.
Yeah. It is, it is confusing.
because even when we were scheduling you this past week I kept on saying Max and then he would perk up you're right shut up Batgirl not talking about you a lot of people don't know this but Max Homa actually is a part of my take he edits this. So anytime that we have a change that we make to the show,

all of the good ones,

all the good.

Anytime we say something drastically offensive,

we accidentally text Max Homa and ask him to take it out when we mean to

text.

Oh yeah.

Okay.

Now I see where you're going.

Yeah.

We have a,

we have a secret text Jane of me,

uh,

PFT and memes of all of the things.

PFT does not want her.

It's, it's great. And I, I'm going gonna give you a compliment max you ready for this you have become the darling of media you are it feels like you're doing a million interviews but you have shouted us out and i appreciate that because you could totally be like fuck these podcasters i don't know them anymore i'm doing scott van pelt show now um actually no they you're not that big time you did like the noon sports center but either way you gave us sat in his chair but never been on his show yeah and you give us you you know you're like hey these guys support me so um we appreciate that and i mean how much money are we getting from this fortnight what'd you get what are you cashing on the fortnight um i think i got uh like 50 bucks i'll give you guys like 25 bucks that works for me 50 i like that yeah that's pretty good do you get it do you get a back-to-back bonus on that they should you're like mr fortnight i i need to i need to lobby for that one yeah i should i i should get a5.
I know, Big Cat, you give those out every once in a while. So maybe I'll have another plug.
And, yeah, I feel like they should get a bonus. That's one of those Mike Greenberg dumb rules, I think, that should go into effect.
Yeah, we weren't worried about you, by the way, in this tournament because it was the perfect Max Homa tournament. You couldn't even watch it on TV, and it was during football.
So we kept on being like, no, Max has got this because no one's paying attention. That's when he shot.
Yeah, I think the round got – I'm like sliding 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 uh seem to play my best so how does that work on on that final day didn't they move the start time up i feel like that would really screw me up you know how if they 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 how does that work like with your preparation were you were you rushed uh no they did inform us the day prior uh that airline thing seems like it should be illegal because i had that before and then an hour and a half before the original flight time they're like hey it's actually on time yeah it's bullshit okay well i'm at my house uh but yeah no it was uh it was just a little less sleep so the turnaround was faster but sometimes that's better sitting around all morning and uh thinking about the bad things that could happen uh is tough so it was nice actually to just wake up and go straight to the course the next day yeah um 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? When he hit that, did you think it was over? No, it was sick though. That ball curved like 50 yards in the air.
But yeah, he went up one. And I mean, it was a bit of a shocker but obviously he's a great player he's a true major golf tournament champion won the Masters where everyone's watching and that was just a sick golf shot I will never forget watching that ball curve I was like holy hell 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. So that was a tough blow.
So when something like that happens, you obviously, you're watching it and you realize what an incredible shot it is, but you're also competing against this guy for first place in a pretty significant amount of money. 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 staying in your lane and focus on on what you have to do um yeah i mean i i think i said good shot but uh actually that should be the next thing we started i should have walked over and like high-fived him walk back really rattled him yeah like real hard like hurt his hand but yeah that's always the uh it's the toughest thing man is being like kind of in your lane but also I guess somewhat appreciative of what the other like great golf is going on all the other great golf 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 we're making everything and uh on about the 10th hole I think just made back back-to-back like 40 foot putts and I feel like I was just shaking my head and I'm I want 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 but in the back of your mind I mean you do it would be nice if people messed up here and.
And when Danny hit that shot from the tree, it was that was that was something else. Yeah.
Are you are you flying too high right now? Do you need us to humble you? Are you how are you feeling? Like, yeah. OK, hit me.
Yeah. Bring me back.
Obviously, the whole out shot, your fourth shot was incredible. Your third shot sucked, dude.
You went from the sand to the rock. Like, that was bad.
Yeah. I've been watching too many of Hank's golf videos on his Instagram.
All right. So the President's Cup, we obviously, we're dimple heads.
We love the game of golf. Parvats.
We know exactly what the President's Cup is all about. But explain it to who might not know uh what even this tournament is uh so it is uh 12 of the best americans verse 12 of pretty much everyone but europe europe is the rider cup so it's called the international team and it is four days it's a match play uh it's teams for the first three days and then an individual uh straight up heads heads up match on sunday and it's uh there's 30 total points up for grabs so it's uh whoever has the most points wins um and you get one for a win half for a tie zero obviously for a loss and it is a opportunity to represent your country um 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.
So essentially it's just America versus Vijay Singh. Nice.
You are a dimple head. I am a dimple head.
So is this pre-Rider Cup? Are you now going to be on Rider Cup next year? You've got to qualify for all that the same, but I would very much like to play well this week and at least kind of sneak my foot in that door as well. Okay.
All right. So you heard it here first.
Max Homa, open to accepting an invitation to the Ryder Cup if offered. Yeah.
You're not closing that door. 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. That's good to hear.
Who, who, who called, like, if you get invited to the Ryder Cup, does someone actually call you and be like, hey, you're invited? Yeah. They say, they send you a letter.
You're invited. And you just check yes or no.
Just like old school prom dates. Yeah, I was going to say it would be a real shame if someone pranked you and called you.
What do you mean? Like the Michael Scott thing where he then hires you or the other way around? Yeah, 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.
I'll take any invitation. So I'll ride that high for the 30 seconds before I realize that's a break.
So I welcome that as well. What do you get if you win the President's Cup? Pride.
Oh, this is what I was going to say. I'm glad I remember this.
I'm going to do Billy. I apologize for stolen valor.
i'm sorry wearing i'm i'm representing my country and i understand that you have done that in a much in a much higher way different type of uniform just want you to know i'm i'm just representing you and all the sacrifices you've made for this country thank you billy it would be it would be cool if the president's cup played for like the winning team gets the presidency the winning team gets like the swing boat yeah the winning team just gets to be like they get to then decide out of the 12 like who's the president or that would winning winning team gets canada 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 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.
Politics Twitter is all time the worst. That'd be great.
Max, just curious, what's your policy on rope safety? Have you encountered any dangerous ropes recently on the golf course? I've noticed you've got to keep your eyes closed when you walk near those things. They come out of nowhere, man.
Those electric ones are especially bad. People don't understand how difficult this sport is on your body.
I know you guys grinded football all day yesterday, but golf's nothing soft about to be uh you got to be ready uh that was a blindside blitz by the rope and uh nobody called it out running back ran away and it absolutely that was a dangerous situation he was targeting i i will stand up for bryce a little bit that sometimes when 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. You have to be on your toes.
Well, he's a brick shithouse, so maybe he just thought he could just run right through it, which is, I respect that move. He also probably had his eyes down looking for fire ants because he's had issues with that.
So it was like, oh, you got to look for the ropes too. Max, let's make a headline for the show because you do listen to the show.
How much has the Live Tour offered you? $1 billion. Really? Holy shit.
Allegedly. Allegedly.
And are you entertaining the offer? I said I'm $2 billion or nothing. Okay.
Okay. All right, so we have a price.
So Max Homa, that's the headline. Max Homa, $2 billion.
We'll join the Live Tour. Sure.
I mean, that's – listen, can we work our way in that? If they offer you $2 billion, could you hire us to work for you? Oh, yeah. At that point, who cares at that point? We could do whatever we want.
We would be your exclusive media team. Yeah.
And 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.
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.
$2 billion to you and let's say $250 million to us. 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. Yeah.
It 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 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 for that 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 the 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 just get on out there.
She doesn't need any help. She would love to do do this on her own okay but like you have a window you have a window of like two weeks you gotta play and you gotta win because otherwise i think your child your entire child's life is illegitimate if you don't win right after man that's a lot of pressure no pressure there's really no point i would have to say no pressure yeah there's no point in having a child if you don't use a dog.
When you go 0-11 in bets, oh, sorry, PFT. No, go ahead.
You were going to make fun of me. That's okay.
0-11, yep. When you go 0-11 in bets, does that put a damper on your kids' lives? Oh, yeah, big time.
I mean, they're surrounded by a loser. That's loser energy in my house.
And they pick up. Kids are like dogs.
When dogs smell fear, they go crazy. Kids smell losers.
And they're like, oh, this is bad. Do dogs smell fear? Yeah, absolutely.
They smell earthquakes. They smell fear.
They smell periods. They're very intense animals.
Yeah, they know everything. Talking about sharks.
Yeah, sharks too sharks too yeah they smell blood yeah and bears but but but my kids know when i lose because i'm a loser and and so yeah they're your child will know if you are losing right after uh he is born and it will be bad for his future yeah well it's a this is my gonna be my line when i'm a dad it's 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.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
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? Because it's kind of a wasted birth. If your kid is just like, okay, yeah, your dad now big deal.
But if you're not using that to actually win some like six hundred thousand dollar purse then the kid's life it's like okay it's just another baby my wife has said the exact same thing it is a waste of a birth if i do not if i do not win yes and you also i mean listen i'm not you know 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 you and your wife and your child standing at the 18th green and everyone's like, oh, my God, look, this is so cute. That's just you have a leg up now, so you better use it.
I've heard that that is a big part of momentum. Also, I've heard a lot of guys see 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 the perspective I will gain and the dad strength.
I think those are the things I've been missing in the majors. Yes.
Yes. Because you could basically say if you hit a bad shot, you're like, what do I care? I I'm a dad and then you'll hit a good shot because you don't care and people can't talk trash to me because I'm a I'll be a father then and you can't talk trash to father that's a fact LeBron James taught me that that's that's it's gotten so deep with the uh whenever I'm like father or two that I don't think people even realize that I'm making fun of LeBron who literally had that as a take, like, don't talk to me like that.
I'm a father of three. It's like most people in the world are dads.
Yeah. The majority of people in the world are dads, so that means we just can't talk shit to anyone ever.
About anyone, yeah. It's a good defense.
Yeah. Max, talk to me about what it's like if you're playing on a team.

How is golf a team sport if you're competing with a bunch of other guys that you normally compete against every week?

And now it's like, okay, now you have to do a national pride thing.

Is there any team bonding experience you guys go through,

or how do you start to like each other?

I assume we all sing the Star Spangled Banner every morning um so i'm looking forward to that uh i think we eat immense amounts of bacon uh because that seems like a big thing americans love we just do a lot of things americans love overeating um and yeah i i i gotta i'm a'm just going to follow everyone's lead, but those are my assumptions at least, uh,

at the beginning of this week.

Yeah.

Who's your favorite president?

Hmm.

Ooh, good question.

Besides Trump.

Cause I know you were about to say him, but everyone knows that besides him.

Good question.

I like that dude that writes his books that always talks shit to me.

That guy's a pretty cool dude.

Um, 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.
Okay. Who's your favorite teammate on this team? I'm looking at the team right now.
There's some good dudes on this team. Yeah, they're all.
This is Team Unity. They're all my favorite.
Okay, but who's your favorite? Probably, I've known JT the longest, probably JT. Okay, who was making fun of my 0-11.
So you're not a big Patrick Cantley guy. Okay, so watch out for that.
If he goes up with Patrick, they're probably not going to have great team chemistry. I always like it when they have the captains of the team, like in the Ryder Cup, and the captains are riding around on the golf carts with their walkie-talkies communicating to me.
What are they doing? How much like in-game coaching or captaining can you do in those types of tournaments? 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 excited to see that up close. Yeah.
I mean, it is very funny because golf is just not a team sport. But it is funny when we get these tournaments.
I mean, Quail Hollow, one of my favorite courses. Exactly.
One of mine, too. I'm glad we share our love for Quail Hollow.
Yeah. Actually, if I had to do like Mount Rushmore courses, I think Quail Hollow's on there.
Is that set up to be like, is that a homosexual course or is it a homophobic course? I actually have one here, so I would say homosexual, two thumbs up. We knew that.
We knew you had won there. Your home track.
Yeah. What was that tournament? What tournament did you win? The Wells Fargo in 2019.
Oh, the fifth major. Yes, exactly.
Thank you. I'm glad you're getting it.
You are a dimple head. Like you said, you're really getting that.
I remember that tournament.

Yeah, me too.

You won.

Yeah, exactly.

It's incredible.

What's one tournament?

If you could pick one tournament to win,

what's the one that you have your eyes set on?

If it can only be like the Masters, the Open?

First off, sorry, I have like two minutes. So, yeah, if I had to win one tournament, I would be the the masters the open uh first off sorry if you have this vibe like two minutes yeah but then um so yeah if i had to win one tournament uh i would be the president's cut wow great answer that is a great answer six major yeah this major yeah all right uh this count as a major win if we win this even though i have 11 teammates yeah yeah sure i mean it counts yeah right it counts as a win for us for the usa absolutely yes yes especially for billy yes especially for billy all right so last question because max has to go he just won the fortnight he's uh the man about town uh roback question r-h-o-b-a-c-k use code take for 20 off your first purchase roback.com promo code take for 20 off your your first purchase qzips hoodies polos everything um max i actually don't even have a last question other than like go get them 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 uh about the support and are we being positive negative how we feeling going this week? I think, well, there's no cut this week.
I think, as usual, Thursday, Friday, positive. You can do whatever you want Saturday, Sunday.
Except I did win a golf tournament last week without Billy posting an absolutely vulgar, disgusting animal video. So, I think I've gotten over that hump.
So, if you could just keep those to yourselves that'd be great but anything else goes what about okay i i understand that but what if billy posts like a really metal bald eagle video of a bald eagle for the usa actually that there that would be great if you guys could make billy do that that would be awesome okay all right billy that's your assignment but not hit it eating something and it was a lot of blood yeah minimal blood minimal blood minimal blood and max has got this all right so max um good luck at the president's cup thank you i mean literally our country's on the line so no pressure again um also really like do think about this whole having a kid and then playing a tournament right after. Cause we'd like to win some money off you.
So, um, 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.
We need that. I will.
I will pass along that message. Yeah.
You know how that goes. Listen, I, I placed bets in the, in the delivery room of uh my first child being born so like you have no excuse you got to keep working yes that's uh my my son would want that kind of grit out of out of his dad so i'll give it my best shot okay perfect thank you max all right thank you max we appreciate it thank you for winning us money yesterday also yes yes I'll send you that $25, $12.50 each as soon as possible.
Yeah. And maybe do like call back the Live Tour because $2 billion would be – Sounds nice.
We'll do it. We'll each take $50 million and just follow you around everywhere, and that will be our life.
And we'll all be happy, and we'll be like best friends. It'll be so funny.
It'll be ha, ha, ha. That's cool.
All right. I'm all in.

And now for something completely different. Okay, time for one question with the quarterback.
It's our new segment on Wednesdays. We have Josh Allen.
One question with the quarterback. Josh, how sweet was that game last night? It's pretty sweet.

It's pretty sweet.

Boys got after it, made some plays.

Bill's Mafia was incredible per usual.

It was a good time.

Awesome.

All right, Josh, my one question.

Are you him?

I think there's too many hims right now. Yeah.

It's like church.

There's a lot of them going around. I think, everybody's great, nobody's great.
So there's got to be a new word, you know? Well, we're out of questions. I don't know.
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 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 yeah usually him is you know the one guy that's that's that's him yeah that is him but you're you're you're us yeah though yeah the bills are us the bills are us yeah. Yeah.
I can agree with that. My one question for you guys.
Oh, okay. Yeah, this is good.
All right. Yeah, yeah.
One question. You only get one, though.
One for each? No, one for the show. What was your guys' betting record in the NFL this weekend? Oh, good question.
I was 6-5 after an 0-11 start, but we'll focus on the 6-5. 0-11 is pretty tough.
That's hard to do. That's hard to do.
It's actually impressive. I'd rather be 0-11 than 6-5 because 0-11 at least is a story.
I was 2-9 going into last night, and I bet on the Titans. So, fuck you.
Yeah. I guess so.
That's why I like Caleb better, I guess. Yeah.
We like Caleb more than us, too. So, same-sies.
Okay. That was one question with Josh Allen.
Thank you, Josh. We appreciate it.
we had jared last week i can't guarantee that you won't be called again when we run out of people to call that's fine i'm always here you know that all right okay thank you josh thanks josh have a good one bye best friends see ya see ya oh nice i love that's friends one question with josh allen is brought you by Manscaped.

Okay, let's wrap up the show.

We got FAQs.

Henry?

Yeah.

Let's do it.

Thank you. at manscaped.com.
Okay, let's wrap up the show. We got FAQs.
Henry? Yeah. Let's do it.
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 pinky bet with the entirety of Minnesota sports teams? Oh, my God.
Minus the links who are actually good. What city slash state would he feel the safest with over these next few years? It would be Minnesota, but I think the Timberwolves could be like, they could get a little uppity.
No? I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it for I'm not going to, I'm very secure in the fact that I have the pinky bet.
It's going to be a yearly thing. 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 gate.
Like, the Raiders are not winning the Super Bowl. They're not.
I would say, now are we including college basketball in this or only professional sports? Well, Minnesota college basketball is not winning. Idaho would be pretty safe.
As a state? Yeah, but they don't have any professional teams. Yeah, you got to go with professional teams.
Good point, Billy. Yeah, I think Minnesota would be the pick.
I think they'd have to be the pick. Michigan? I don't know.
My guy Scott Harris just got named team president for the Tigers. He's going to put that team back on the right track.
And the Lions, Jared Goff. Arizona might be up there, too.
Arizona's up there. Sneakily, Texas is up there.
Yeah. I mean, Illinois is definitely on there.
Texas is actually in bad shape right now as a state. Yeah.
Yeah, there's just too many teams that would be playing. That would be rolling the dice.
That would be Russian roulette with like four bullets in the chamber. But still, as a program, Texas, the state, is in bad sports shape.
Yeah. Actually, the answer might be Illinois.
There's no team close right now. Seattle? The state of Washington.
No, the Mariners, dude. Mariners were my preseason World Series champion.
They'll make the playoffs. Do you think they can win it all? Why not? They've been playing their asses off.
That's a good question, though. I'll think about it more.
Will the whole PMT crew move to when Big Cat goes to Chicago? Also hope Stella's doing well. Oh, thank you.
Yes. And we're going to have a sick office.
Anything else? I'm going to move. Yeah.
Hank's going to move. I might move before Big Cat moves.
Yeah. Squatter's right.
No, I might be missing. You know what I should do? I've been trying to think like, okay, Chicago.
I'm not a Chicago guy. Never been a Chicago guy.
What can I do to make myself a Chicago guy? I might grow a mustache out. Gain like 100 pounds? Well, yeah, I'll probably do that accidentally.
Yeah. But I might just grow a mustache out.
I feel like that's one thing you have to have when you move into the city limits. We've been working on looking for offices.
Think Fantasy Factory. Like basketball courts.
PFD is going to have a fucking music studio that he can record music anytime he wants. Golf simulator.
Just some real fucking cool shit. What are you going to say, Billy? Is there going to be a gym? Yes, there will be a gym.
Free weights. Yes.
Squat racks. Yes.
NFL training facility. Yes.
Yes. But yes.
Yes. Think like high school.
It's going to be bro sweet. High school gym.
Bro sweet. Yes.
Are there any interviews you have done aside from Dan Bilzerian that you haven't aired yet? Why not? I think we can tell one of them now. There was one.
There's been two that I can think of. I can think of like college basketball.
No that we did. We hear Rodriguez That one he just didn't speak English And we thought he did And then yeah Big Papi So Big Papi came in And it was in person I like Big Papi I do too I think there was some shit going that day.
I think he might have been going through a divorce during that time. He literally sat down.
We asked him a question. He took out his phone and he started scrolling on his phone while we were asking him questions.
So me and PFT just looked at each other and we're like, OK. And I think maybe seven minutes in, I was like, all right, last question.
I don't think I think it was the next question.. Yeah.
I was just like, last question. Thanks so much, big poppy.
See you later. He's like, cool.
I remember, um, after he was going through his phone and like texting and, and doing all this, like very clearly not paying attention. I was, I asked him, so you and Jared do a great podcast.
You have people on there all the time doing interviews. Have you ever had somebody on that just like is completely checked out and not listening to what you guys are asking them? he was like no they've all been cool as he's like going through his phone completely checked out and i wanted i kind of wanted to to put that clip out there but you know he was doing a podcast with us at the time yeah he's i i still like him i do too i think he was having a bad day 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 and we almost had like me pete and hank all looked at each other we're like we're not airing this so let's just end this right now hey was there any others pudge rodriguez uh there's one other one i can think of that i don't you don't want to say no why whoops i can'tst.
I can't think of it. Bleep it.
Say it and bleep it. Oh, yeah.
That was just us being idiots. We should have them on.
We should actually have them back. Yeah, we just.
Yeah. Okay.
That would be funny bleep. People are not going to know what that is.
What happened? We just, we forgot. And then it just became like a time thing so that was stupid of us and they also 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 and so we should have them back that was stupid of us that was all on us that was a total opposite of a big poppy thing uh 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 i mean yeah this is actually good because i had someone tweet me the other day they're like do you i think it was a new adwo they were like do you record after all the games like yeah yeah so we a lot we watched the first games uh beginning to end we used to we used to do it a little differently we did did we we did yeah what we used to do way back in the day we used to try and record something like after four o'clock oh yeah seven i think season one that's what we did yeah season one of part of my take uh but we start we start writing the boomers typically around halftime of the late games like the four o'clock games and then uh sometimes nick helps out with those yep nick's been a huge help ghost writing with us we basically sit there in the gambling cave while the games are on just shooting ideas back and forth um i type and then we just yeah we just like say all right this game and then we just all throw out ideas max was about jake and billy help hank helps 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 we're like you know what we have we say a lot of bad things when we're just spitballing it's a free it's a it's a free uh it's a safe space it's a safe space where we have some of the jokes are uh uncouth yes there.
There was one in particular last Sunday where I think the entire room just went. Yeah.
And I'll say, we were working on some Kobe helicopter material that we decided not to put in. Yeah.
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. Yeah.

You always have to be able to land it well.

Yeah.

One comment to someone who watches it happen, the flow state that they get in is fascinating.

Yeah.

Flow state.

I like that.

Well, they come up with ideas and you can tell it gets progressively like.

Yeah, right.

Start flowing faster.

Yeah.

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. And it is like the most collaborative thing we do in terms of like everyone just pitching in.
Jake's been very helpful. Yeah.
Very helpful, especially like this year. He's come prepared.
Yeah. I would imagine it no other way.
Yeah, so ideally we finish the Boomers by about 7 o'clock. Then we will kind of like half-watch Sunday Night Football while we're getting everything else ready.
And then on a good day, we'll start recording around halftime of Sunday Night Football. Sometimes we don't record until after Sunday Night Football, so we're usually done around 1.30.
And then Max and Memes and Evan are here till fucking 4 or 5. It's a long, long day.
I leave my house at like 11.30 in the morning. I don't get home till 2.
But it's also one of those things like we get to watch football for a living. So can't complain.
Yeah, it's awesome. But it is a lot of fun.
And then every morning I'll wake up. Because 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. And then you wake up in the morning at like 8 and you see 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.
Yeah, it's 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 and like agitated it's because we're tired and agitated but it is it is the best job in the world that it go in with that okay great well you have any other input on sundays they're long days they're Yeah. I mean, obviously, this is the first year I've not been the person editing the podcast.
And the difference between going to sleep at 3 o'clock and the difference between going to sleep at 7 o'clock is life-changing. Yeah.
It would fuck up my whole week. I've gotten to a point where I think I'm just like a five-hour, six-hour sleep guy.
A-Rod said that to me back in the day. I never understood.
I don't know. I sleep six hours a day, and I remember looking at him being like, what? I'm tired always, but I've been, I mean, the last week and a half, I've been on six hours of sleep, and I haven't been like, I feel like I need to crash.
So maybe I've just reprogrammed my brain.

I've been feeling better this year, too.

Yeah.

But I think it's early.

It's very early.

It's super early.

But shifting the long macro dosing to recording on Wednesday as opposed to Monday, 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 complaints.

Okay.
