This Saturday night, Canelo vs.
Triple G. I'm in Las Vegas.
I'll be on the call by the Pay-Per-View. It's going to be a hell of a night.
Today is Friday, September 16th. And Amazon Prime, they have done it.
What a game. What a night.
a night Jeff Bezos our overlord he owns us all he gives us football and it was a great game Chargers Chiefs I PFT I know that we both been at the Chargers I was actually coming home or coming back to the hotel and I was scrolling Twitter and I saw Patrick Mahomes on with our good friend Ryan Fitzpatrick, and I was like, why are they interviewing him? And I was like, oh, yeah, the Chiefs won the game. I forgot that part.
Yeah, because it did feel like an incredible comeback for the Chargers after they gave the game away. And let's be real, the game was over when Justin Herbert threw that pick six, and then they marched down the field.
Justin Herbert confirmed has that dog in him now. After for a moment having absolutely zero dog inside of him when he pulled up on that third down scramble.
And he could have taken like two more steps, got in the first down. I was ready to motherfuck him.
I was ready to bury him. And then he drops back in the pocket, puts an absolute dime on his receiver's hands.
And then the Chargers, just an amazing come-from-behind victory

for the entire city of Los Angeles.

But you're right, after that was over,

it was so anticlimactic after that point.

It felt like a win for sure.

The memes about Justin Herbert and the dog,

we're getting out of hand with the dog memes.

Can I just say that?

Yeah.

I think the dog memes have reached their apex.

With Justin Herbert, it should have been like a dog inside of him gnawing on his shattered rib bones like a cartoon bulldog you know like visiting the butcher shop like you used to watch in the old like disney cartoons um because justin herbert's ribs are really really fucked up and as our colleague steven shea pointed out um not a great combination historically for uh team doctors pain killing shots and los angeles Chargers quarterbacks. But I think Justin Herbert, he's very, very, very good.
But I think he's also very, very, very injured right now. He's very, very injured.
I am at this moment, people know me as a rib doctor first and foremost before anything else. Not bad gambler, by the way.
I have now run the streak to 0-11 on picks I've given out on advisors. I've been smart enough to fade my past self with my current self, so it hasn't been that much of a disaster in real life.
But 0-11 is impressive. But I am ready to give up my role as rib doctor because tj hushman zada um i have to read you guys this tweet i don't know if you saw it he said for someone who has broken his ribs at least to 10 to 15 times justin herbert has cartilage issues or has a broken rib tj hushman's not a burying the lead there he's broken his ribs 15 times how is

he still alive 10 it's got to be 15 ribs yeah yeah 10 to 10 to 15 times 10 to 15 well it's not that unheard of i'm i've broken my ribs probably six or seven times no way yes swear to god When was the last time?

Probably 2012.

Rib injuries happen very frequently in contact sports. It's very common.
But 15 times is more than six. Yes, he was definitely like a possession receiver that would get hit in the midsection.
15 times is like, I will see your rib tweet and I will raise you a Skip Bayless tweet. I don't know if you saw this one.
Our darling Jake pointed this out as we were getting ready to record part of my take. Here's an actual skip Bayless tweet from 8 52 PM.
You ready? Chiefs trick y'all man. They don't play no defense.
Skip Bayless. Nice try.
Skip. I mean, that was that, that is is we should talk about the chiefs i that was a game that the chiefs i don't know if you want to do the cliche of like championship dna finding games to win that you're not at your best because they were not at their best patrick mahomes by my count through like four interceptions that were either bailed out by flags or guys just blatantly dropping them they didn't look like the better team tonight but because they are the chiefs they found a way to win and patrick holmes still made a couple plays where you're like yo that's he's the only guy in the world who can do that like he's the only guy who can do what he just did and that's why the chiefs even when they look on a night where they look like they're the uh inferior opponent because i think we'd all agree like the chargers felt like they were in control of that game up until the pick six and patrick mahomes though he just always keeps you in games always keeps you around it and the pick six i we know everett shout out to the to amazon kirk herb street now michael's like That's a great duo.
I know that that's just, I always want to compliment because we do sometimes complain about announcers. Kirk is the best and Al is obviously the GOAT.
But them figuring it out right away that Everett was asking out of the game and clearly was completely gassed, so much so that the interception gets. And the only thing he's worrying about is picking up his mouth guard.
That was, yeah, that, that changed the entire game. That was, that was like the, the, the games on the fringes where the Mahomes interceptions are all called back for penalties or dropped.
And then Herbert has one interception that goes for pick six. Yeah.
The, the Everett play, it was very recognizable to anybody that's ever played pickup sports in their life where like if you're playing basketball and you run down the court and you make like a block on defense and then you start half-assing your way back up the court and then you just kind of put your hands on your knees and stop and you're like I this isn't worth it like I'm too tired right now he ran the laziest stick route that I've ever seen in my life he got like halfway through and he's like I'm fucking tired like what do you want me to do yes I just ran like 30 yards and got tackled by a bunch of big dudes I need to be out of this football game right now I you know what I'm gonna blame Justin Herbert for that pick six and not ever because he should have thrown the ball to him he should have known that Everett was tired yeah and asking out of the game and he should have gone to somebody else and you know what here i'm gonna do this i'm gonna say like if if justin herbert's the guy that he's supposed to be and by the way the guy that he's supposed to be or just like what other people in the media are saying that he is but if he's that guy then he needs to be able to make the decision to go somewhere else with that ball and not to your receiver who's puking all over himself. I mean, I do think that's partly coaching, too, because Everett was clearly asking out of the game and they're running hurry up and he's totally gassed.
Like, it would be one thing if he wasn't asking out of the game and then he runs that lazy route and the pick six happens. You're like, dude, what are you doing? But it he had nothing left in the tank you got to get him you got to find a way to get him out of the game because then that's what happens and there was some I don't know maybe the media has has bullied Brandon Staley I know that the the line of thinking is his defense is now good enough that he doesn't have to take the risks that he once took and I buy buy that because the Chargers defense is very good.
And they have like playmakers, you know, Derwin James, JC Jackson, Bosa and Mack. Like they have guys everywhere that are making big plays.
And their defense, when you think about it, what, they held the Chiefs to 20 points on offense. Like if you go into a game with the Kansas City Chiefs at home and you're like our defense holds them to 20 offensive points like you sign up for that every single time so they played well but Brandon Staley there was uh fourth and two at KC 47 punt fourth and two at KC 48 punt fourth and two at the uh Chargers 33 that was a punt but that was a play that he would have he would have gone for that last year like he's definitely coaching differently and I guess we should commend him because we've always said that you shouldn't just go strictly by analytics and he's going by his team now he's like I have a defense that can that can play like if we pin a team deep I'll give my defense a chance instead of potentially giving the Chiefs the ball at midfield.

I still – I was upset when he wasn't going for it in the first half, though,

because there were plays where even normally aggressive head coaches

would have gone for it.

It's almost like Brandon Staley, like, flew too close to the sun last year.

And you know how in the Matrix you get red-pilled or you get blue-pilled

and the blue-pilled is, like, the one you say, fuck this, I'm just going to go back to ordinary life. Brandon Staley blue-pilled himself and he's going back to being just like a normal conservative coach punting on fourth and second, fourth and third.
I don't like that. I like Brandon Staley a little crazy.
I don't like it when he does the thing where he goes for it on fourth and two from like your own 18-yard line like he did one time last year. a little out of hand but I like I think he was right more than he was wrong last year and when you're in the opponent's half especially if it's against the Chiefs like go for it roll the dice a little bit and granted it should have worked I guess maybe this is like hindsight being 2020 because I it might have been the right call.
Their defense was good enough.

They made Patrick Mahomes very uncomfortable all night.

The reason why they lost was because of that pick six that happened right at the goal line.

But I still think be aggressive and go for it a little bit.

You have a very good offense.

And the more I think about it, the more this Chargers game tonight,

this was like old school Chargers.

Oh, it's big Chargers.

They dominated. The more things change change the more they stay the same with the chargers they were better on offense they were better on defense and then they just had a back-breaking pick six that's like he is filling the philip rivers uh slot on that team very nicely yes and and obviously keenan allen like you could tell the chargers weren't able to take deep shot like it felt like as the game progressed the chargers play calling and and what they were able to do was all within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage like they they hit that big touchdown of mike williams in the first half but after that i don't and obviously the the the throw that justin herbert after not being able to get one yard throws an absolute laser down the center of the field it's like holy fuck this guy like i don't know what's he can barely walk and he's throwing these these these darts um but we should say in brandon saley's defense there was no like he should have he shouldn't have gone for uh the touchdown there on fourth down I thought they were going to kick a field goal so he saved himself by doing that at the end when it's like I was convinced they were going to kick a field goal they need 10 points like you're fourth and five on the goal line you haven't your first your first three plays on on goal line didn't work like you're going to kick a field goal and then try to get the onside kick.
The other part, PFT, Andy Reed was also kind of concerned. Like there was a couple of times where I thought the chiefs knowing how maybe this is the Tyree kill.
Like this is where you miss Tyree kill because the chiefs offense through two weeks has not, it hasn't looked like they've like, Oh man, Tyree kill. It's so obvious he's not here but maybe that's where they're gonna miss him is those fourth downs when Tyree kill would just run a quick out route and no one in the world could guard it and they would always pick up the fourth and two the Chiefs had a couple times where I was like oh this is weird like usually they just trust my homes to get two yards you know when they're in the middle of the Yeah, I think it's fair to say that losing the most dynamic wide receiver in the NFL is going to have an effect on your offense.
He is a guy that bails them out. And the offense is still really, really good.
They're going to be in any game as long as they have Patrick Mahomes because he is capable of just reminding everybody at any given time that he is Patrick Mahomes. But not having Tyreek Hill takes away a huge, huge threat.
I think defenses are actually, like, the Chargers defense was playing aggressive. And I'm not talking about just the pass rush.
I'm talking about, like, jumping routes and stuff. You had J.C.
Jackson. You had Asante Samuel Jr.
And by the way, every time they say Asante Samuel Jr., I die a little bit inside because I still think Asante Samuel Sr. could be in the NFL.
That's still in the back of my head. He's not that far out of the NFL that when they say Asante Samuel Jr.
jumping another route, I'm like, oh, God, I'm so washed. When that happened, when he dropped that Patrick Holmes interception, Dave yelled out, he's like, that's all this guy does is drop interceptions.
I was like, it's his son. He's like, I meant that's all his family does.
Yeah. That was a hundred yard pick six too.
It was, it would have been. And that's what I'm saying.
Like their defense, they can play more aggressive and take chances because they know that they don't have the threat of Tyreek Hill running, you know, 90 yards in three seconds and taking the top off a defense like that. Also shout out to Derwin James for for just burying Travis Kelsey.
That was awesome. That was so cool.
That was football, man. That put such a smile on my face.
Right when that hit happened, we were in the gambling cave watching, and the only thing I could do to react was just make a Tim Allen grunt. I was just like, ooh.
And he thought the ball came out. Yeah, and it was like that was a man's play um it was a great game though it was both those teams are very good teams and barring how injured justin herbert is i like i didn't walk away from that game saying either of those teams has like these major flaws i just thought it was the chargers like the chargers are a very talented team they have every their offensive line's good their defense good justin herbert's a stud they're missing keenan allen but they also just find ways to charger and then the chiefs on the flip side are one of those teams that just finds ways to win and they have patrick malms who's the best quarterback in the nfl i think that's a fair way to put it the chargers yeah the chargers are going to be a team that are going to make me look like a fool all the time.
Because I will continue to bet on them. I will continue to tell people the Chargers are for real.
And they'll continue to lose me games. And it's going to happen repeatedly.
And I'll be okay with it. Because I'm an idiot.
And I'm fine with that. But they do pass my eye test.
Yeah. And I do think they are for real.
It's just, the Chiefs I there I mean it's it's Patrick Mahomes and and the plays that he's able to make and the drives he's able to keep alive and then you get one break and that's it like you can't there's no margin for error when you're playing the Chiefs and that was the difference in the game we should um mention that uh you know Amazon Prime everyone had to watch it on streaming jeff bezos i think he ended racism with that photo op at the beginning of the game uh where the most awkward handshake i've ever seen well he looked like he had never touched another human uh when he took that picture that that was going viral it was taken in the end racism end zone so i'd say yes let's not let's not say that jeff bezos into racism because that's a little it's a little disrespectful to the long history of racism in the united states i think together jeff bezos and roger goodell teamed up to end racism officially once and for all tonight it's it's rare usually when they show a owner's suite or a box you're like damn that would be fucking cool to hang out with like with those like Jerry Jones like that would be fucking cool to to clean his glasses for him and just sit and watch a Cowboys game there's 0.0 percent of me that would want to be sitting with Jeff Bezos and Roger Goodell during a football game I would say no if I was invited to that suite I really would unless I had a knife in which case I would say yes please send me directly behind them but i noticed in the pictures where it was like jeff bezos talking to goodell and i want to make fun of jeff and i did a little bit for being like a robot because he is kind of a robot if you've ever seen him laugh but dude that handshake like he he i actually think they're like jeff go take a picture with this guy and he's like how do i how do i touch someone with hands okay here I'm going to do this it was like this

he grabbed their wrist he was like he was like holding the guy's wrist as it was like limply in his hands it was just so such a bizarre human he is but when he was up in the booth sitting next to Roger Goodell, he was telling him jokes and stuff, which

I'm sure were real funny jokes,

real rib ticklers.

He was leaning in

and smelling him. I think that Jeff Bezos

has become a very

sexual person in his

old age, ever since he started having affairs and

shit and taking HGH. He was

leaning in very, very deeply

to Roger Goodell and whispering into Goodell's ear like I think there might there might be something there what do you think the jokes probably were like wait you let your you let your employees take piss breaks like shit like that like haha we'll never do that that's probably what they bonded over is their shared love of piss where like Goodell is like yeah I make them take piss breaks actually but then i just collect all of it and i test it and then i just every time they play every time they make a good play in a game i collect their urine like derwin james i'm gonna have that man's piss later on tonight and then uh and jeff's like i don't know i don't i don't think you should let him piss they probably got into a brother's like no we have to make it no it's the opposite the opposite. We make them piss.
They probably just bond over that. Yeah, like a big debate about piss.
I'm curious because, Billy, I wanted to get your feedback on this. Jeff Bezos, he looked very vascular tonight.
He had a lot of veins popping out of his arms. I saw his nipples were protruding.
Very disgusting. What kind of performance-enhancing drugs do we think that Jeff Bezos is on? He's definitely on the creme de la creme, HGH, TRT, and probably like some peptides as well to deal with injuries.
The vascularity is up there with TRT. He's basically on the best of the best stuff that money can buy.
He's on the stuff that will have no side effects he'll live forever and just be jacked forever he's on limitless yeah yeah it's the rich people drugs but i the other thing with amazon they're geniuses obviously jeff bezos owns like our our lives but the fact that you can't change the commercial like they they finally figured it Like we you're locked into Amazon. Like you can't do any, you can't change the commercial like they they finally figured it like we you're locked

into amazon like you can't do any you can't change the channel when you're watching amazon prime

thursday night football and they could just run i i bet one day he'll just fucking do like seven

hours of commercials and we'll just sit there like idiots being like when's the football coming back

on yeah we were talking about that tonight like what are we gonna do on a thursday night where

there's a big college football game on you can't switch back back and forth. It's not easy to do.
You have to take your remote out and then go back to the other input. Who has time for all that? And it's genius on their part.
If you notice that half the commercials they were running were for Amazon Prime itself. Of course.
It's like we're watching commercials for amazon while we're watching amazon yeah he owns us it's it's very clear that there's nothing that we'll be able to do if he want to he could buy the entire broadcast rights to the nfl he could buy him tomorrow he probably will it's going to be him versus apple versus tim apple they're going to get into a bidding war one of those two companies is going to own it And then all we'll do is watch football games and all the commercials will be for the streaming service that we're watching the football games on. We will just be stuck in front of a TV for the rest of our lives waiting for the football to come on.
And the only person in the world who can save us is Kyrie Irving. Please turn it on, Kyrie.
Kyrie's going to come. Kyrie's going to come smash the TVs and we're all going to wake up from our slumber and be like, oh my God, we've been watching football for 20 years straight.
If Kyrie was president, he would have like mandatory daily motivation grind set, Instagram reels hours where everybody would just sit down and watch people talk about how they, they hustle 25 hours a day now. Yes.
Where are you going to stay, Jake? There is one thing you could change the channel to, and PFT and I tested that out in the first drive of the third quarter because you can change from the main broadcast to the Dude Perfect broadcast on Amazon Prime, which we watched. We watched, and it was so funny.
We put it on the Dude Perfect broadcast, and the first thing Jake said was like, how much game prep do you think these guys put into tights and we're like dude Jake they're they're drawing pictures of Andy Reid using

ketchup and mustard I don't think that they did any research on how to pronounce Clyde Edwards

Hilaire's name and they're getting paid so much money probably it was all of this it kind of

rocked they had a dunk tank drive where I think Cody had to get put in the dunk tank if they

scored a touchdown that was kind of they brought into Marcus had a dunk tank drive where I think Cody had to get put in the dunk tank

if they scored a touchdown.

That was kind of cool.

They brought in DeMarcus Ware

and he lifted one of the guys

and took his seat.

Oh, it was so disrespectful.

DeMarcus Ware came on the set

and he accidentally called Kobe Cody

and then he corrected himself

and then picked him up,

completely emasculated him

and moved him out of the chair.

It was a real hoot.

Damn. Damn.
I'm sorry I missed it it was cool um it was anything else not that cool yeah the only other thing i had on the game was uh i this is a very minor thing but clyde edwards zelaire doing the run where he just had it fully wrapped up was fucking awesome a button yeah when he's just like and no one touched him yeah it's like it was it was just very cool that's like oh wait this is supposed to be a two-yard run and oh he's going for 40 what are you gonna do yeah and then he just slid down he didn't finish the run coach is going to have his ass in the film room two other things i've got uh shout out chase daniel chase daniel got into the game yes awesome handoff perfect handoff for chase daniel That's why he's on your team. That's why he's the perfect backup.
I think he's made $202,000 per pass completion over his career and like $4.5 million per touchdown that he's thrown in his career. Just outstanding.
Outstanding run he's been on. And it was a double revenge game for him because he played.
Remember, he played for the Chiefs, and he also played in that game Missouri versus Kansas when, this will shock people to hear, but Missouri was number four in the country, and Kansas was number two in the country, and they played at Arrowhead for the Big 12 championship game. So double revenge for him.
He did win that game, but it was nice to see him back out there. It brought back memories of it.
It was that 2007. The craziest season in college football history.
Of all time. Like the fact that the sentence, number four Missouri versus number two Kansas, is a real thing that happened, and it was, and Chase Daniel won the game.
Everything. You know what I'll do sometimes if I'm bored and it's the football offseason I'll go on YouTube And I'll just watch a compilation Of everything that happened In the 2007 college football season And just sit there for like 20 minutes Being like oh yeah I remember that That was awesome Oh yeah I remember that That was awesome too Holy what a year.
Sometimes you don't know that you're experiencing the season of a lifetime

until like 20 years later, and then you look back on it and you're like,

you know what, I wish that there was a way to know that we were in the good old days

as they were happening.

Yes, Chase Daniel in that game, 40 for 49, 361 yards, three TDs.

Incredible, incredible.

So somebody sent me some stats about Chase Daniel.

I don't have him in front of me right now, but if you look at sent me some stats about Chase Daniel. I don't

have him in front of me right now, but if you look at the type of career that Chase Daniels

had as a backup compared to the type of career that Fitzy had as a backup, they could not be

more opposite from each other. So Fitzy, as he said, everywhere he goes, the starting quarterback

gets injured and Fitzpatrick gets in. Chase Daniel is like the complete opposite where he's only been in a handful of games.
There's actually no better insurance policy to have than Chase Daniel because for whatever reason, the starting quarterbacks are always healthy as horses around him. I don't know what it is.
Is there anything about being a great backup that would make you healthier as a starter? I don't know because it doesn't make any sense mathematically. No no he's just a good locker room guy and everyone wants him around when he came in that was the other thing Dave was like oh I chase Daniel he's good you said he was good I was like yeah I said he was good when he was on the Bears playing the Lions Thanksgiving Day yeah that's chase Daniel chase Daniel can win you that game he can't win you a game at Arrowhead when you're down 10 against the Chiefs.
So I was happy that Justin Herbert was able to get back in. And let's hope he's not injured for very long because Justin Herbert is now.
There are a couple times where he makes throws. I'm like, what is he doing? Because he does a weird thing where he'll miss a guy like eight yards away terribly but then the next throw will

be a no arc just bullet into a guy's hands 40 yards down the field yeah they're like holy fuck

this guy it's it's insane watching him make some of these throws that throw he made after basically

almost dying on the field it looked like he was about to die because he he just gave up on uh

what was it third and one and he had no one around him and then throwing it 40 yard dart down the

Thank you. dying on the field it looked like he was about to die because he he just gave up on uh what was it third and one and he had no one around him and then throwing it 40 yard dart down the field it makes no sense he's he's out of this world there there are certain matchups that i think we should be entitled to see more than twice a year and when you take into account mahomes and herbert and then also the uniforms that go together when these two teams play each other i need to see this this game four times a year.
They need to schedule. I don't know how it would be possible to do like flex scheduling to just have sweet teams play each other more frequently.
But if Jeff Bezos truly wants to take over my brain, if he figures out how to do that, I will submit to him. It should be easy.
It's 17-game season now. There's an extra game.
Why not make one week the funnest week possible? Just the best possible matchups, the funnest games that we could conjure up in our brains. Maybe do a fan vote of what the game should be.
And I'm saying, like, both sides. Like, the Jets and the Jaguars should play in that extra game.
You know what I mean? mean like we should just come up with the best the steelers and ravens always play in that extra game like there's there's so many good matchups that you're right we should see more than twice a year let's make that 17th game that fun matchup week yep texans play against alabama done done i fucking love that alabama by 40 one of our best ideas yet i do have one gripe about the broadcast i don't know if you noticed this they change the down a little bit too fast like the ball hits the ground on incomplete pass and immediately goes from second third down i need at least a half a second buffer zone so i can look down at it and then i get to see it change so i know that it's already been changed yeah because if you if it happens so fast you get confused on what down it actually is because you look down you're like wait was that third down or second down and it i finally figured it out but i'm i'm actually kind of convinced i i tweeted as a joke but the use of timeouts at the end of the first half i just think that no one realized how many timeouts they had left because it was hard to figure out where the timeouts were on the scorebook. It took a minute for me to be like, wait, oh, that's where they are.
Brandon Staley. Yeah, they were just watching Amazon Prime and they're like, I don't think we have timeouts.
That's why we're not going to use any right now. I think that's a good theory.
I actually, I didn't notice Andy Reid on the broadcast that much tonight. Yeah, they're trying to box him out maybe jeff bezos hates fat people probably yeah yeah he definitely hates fat he's probably jeff bezos probably just showed up so that he could try to get andy reed to like eat cricket flour try this and this is way more healthy for you're gonna love this i'm pretty confident saying jeff bezos hates fat people he eats poor people he hates people who have like weak bladders.
He hates people that he's married to. Yeah.
There's a lot of people that Jeff Bezos finds disgusting. That's a fact.
I'm happy to be one of them. Yeah.
Should we kick it to ourselves? Let's do it. We've got some great show coming up.
Danny and Lucy DeVito and weekend preview, which we threw out some stats that you won't hear anywhere else. And we'll finish up with Fyre Fest.

Okay.

Weekend preview.

We will officially have a punishment next week.

We kind of, I don't know what happened. We just, it got lost.
We got lost. We punted on it this week.
Yeah, it got lost. Life got in the way.
Well, we were getting used to being back in rhythm. I'm still mourning.
Yeah. Yeah, Lizzie's in a box.
Yeah. Until they put her old bitch ass in the ground, I'm not coming up with.
I mean, we did. Is she not? What? Is she not buried yet? I don't think so.
I think, like, when a queen dies, they just kind of, like, let her pickle for a while. Just, like, open air.
And then after everybody pretends to cry for her, then they finally put her in the ground. But we did, in fairness to us, we did come up with a punishment for ourselves if we won a Super Bowl last weekend.
So we're going to get shot. So one punishment a week.
Yeah, everyone on this podcast will get shot, except for Jake, who's a P-word. Yeah.
Well, and also Hank, because he has a ton of Super Bowls. And let's be honest, his team stinks.
It's not undefeated. I absolutely said I would get shot.
Oh, you would? Oh, yeah, by a BB gun. Yeah.
Ball and arrow. Oh, yeah.
Let's be realistic. You're a fan of the Patriots.
They're not winning the Super Bowl. One of no teams like the Bears and the Commanders.
Now we got a chance. All right.
So next week we will have an official punishment. We spared everyone from just doing a repeat of last Friday's show where we brainstormed.
So let's do it, though. Week two.
Do we want the standings first? Yeah, let's get the standings. Good call, Jim.
I also think we should do something for the winner this year. Okay.
I don't think I'm getting any credit for winning last year. Okay, how about the winner? Good job, Hank.
Yeah. So you just won a retroactive congratulations.
I won like a trophy, yeah. Alright, winner gets a cat.
And it is retroactive to last year. Perfect.
And then that, and whoever wins it gets the cat. So you pass the cat on.
Yep. So that will be perfect.
So you get it for the next six months. You'll be really sad.
Just enough time to fall in love. Okay, Jake.
Yeah, standings. Bad week for us.
Very mediocre week. 0-6 on favorites, and we had six different favorites.
Okay, that's not mediocre. That's bad.
Overall. Yeah.
Hank and Billy, 2-2. Me and Big Cat, 1-3.
PFT and Max, 0-4. Okay, so again, I don't know if you're familiar with the term mediocre.
Yeah. But that's very bad.
That's bad. No one went over 500.
No, okay. That's terrible.
Disgusting. Yes, absolutely.
I think worse than any other week we've had last year. Maybe.
You can't get worse than that because there were picks that were against each other, so someone had to win. Right.
That's about as low as we can be as a combined podcast yeah so i'm sorry that was a terrible way to describe it i want to discuss it with myself that was a disgusting week of picks if it wasn't if it wasn't for rico bosco i would be bankrupt already this season because i bet all my picks from last week and he put me on the saints on the live line when they were losing because he was like oh yeah it's the falcons let's bet against the falcons and it's jamis and it's jamis so uh yeah it was bad it was a really bad week but you know what can't get any worse it's listen every year is the same way we're like september you think you know what you're talking about and you don't and then you gotta and you gotta build up the confidence to think you know what you're talking about and then then Bloody Sunday will always come, that one Sunday every single year where every underdog wins outright.

And then you don't know what you're talking about again.

Yeah.

I just got to put myself in the mentality I had at the end of last season when I was picking wrong on purpose.

And I think I went like 11-1 doing that. Fade yourself.

I got to just switch my mindset on that.

Fade yourself.

Okay. So let's do it.
Let's talk talk let's do some picks and talk about each game and we also owe everyone a mount rush more bet um which we got to try to win eventually um i think pft and i both failed to have our running backs down just with 50 yards it was tough it was tough because pft sat down on sunday and was like yeah we got to pick like uh we got to put more thought into it. Whoever picked DeAndre Swift, and I agreed with him.
I was like, yeah, who picked DeAndre Swift? And then me and PFT's running backs didn't hit 50 yards. And then on the very first carry of the game, DeAndre Swift had a 51-yard run.
We don't know shit. We don't know anything.
Here's the thing. If you're trying to find a podcast that knows what they're talking about, then you should immediately change the channel.
Yes. That's not why you listen to us.
If you actually listen to us to get legitimate gambling tips, then you're dumber than we are. Yes.
Or to talk about God. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Quick, quick Jesus minute. Go.
What are you thankful for this weekend? Not going to church because I get to watch NFL football. There we go.
Okay. So let's, let's get into Max, you okay? We got the producers.
Max is a big Catholic, so camera issues. You got camera issues.
My camera is being wonky. Oh, okay.
Don't worry about it. We weren't.
You stopped the show. He did a this, so I was like...
I give him a thumbs up because it was good. And then it was working.
And then it went out. We're going to lose our female audience on YouTube if we can't get the camera on.
Yeah, we got to get this. By the way, for Monday's show.
The 1% audience. Yeah.
Maybe less. Oh, I looked at it the other day.
It was very funny. I looked at my Instagram.
And it was 9% female. That's actually more.
I think that's more than mine.'s more than i'm crushing it it's like six i think mine last time i checked was like a year and a half ago i think mine was lower than that i think mine was eight i'm huge with the chicks nine percent one percent yes hell yeah fuck yes dude totally yes you're you're like a fucking secret clubhouse um all right yeah monday Yeah. By the way, Monday's podcast, we're going to try.
We're going to attempt to record Monday's show for the second half of Bears Packers. So all the masochists out there, I'm sure you'll have fun with that.
What if you just won, though? What if you won and it was recording live and you're just like freaking out so happy? You're crying tears joy it would be it it would rogers would be dead so i was looking at the line and you do have i i like the position you're in yeah because 10 points is so many points so many points that is a fuckload of points at the very least you'll be able to say hopefully because i do think the bears will cover if you cover then you can're inside the number. Yeah, good teams win, great teams cover.
But 10 points is a lot of points except for Aaron Rodgers versus the Bears. Then it's not enough points.
Because he beats us by a billion. He hates his wide receivers.
Yeah, he does. He hates them.
He does. All right, let's start.
Hank, favorite, favorite. And then we'll talk about the games.
Hank just spilled his coffee. It's a disaster.
It's early. It is the earliest we've ever recorded.
Yeah, because I do have to go to Vegas, so I apologize. We had to record early.
Thank you, Josh. It's NFL's fault, though, because they put these games on Prime.
My plan was to fly during the game and just watch the game while I'm in the air and then land and then we do the show. And then I realized I can't watch the game in the air because it's fucking NFL Prime.
Yeah, I have a great idea for a new airline, actually. It's just, you know, you put like barely any budget whatsoever into safety and mechanics and you just load up on the best Wi-Fi possible.
Yep. And you get like better Wi-Fi than any of the Google Fiber neighborhoods have.
You get probably the most powerful Wi-Fi on planet Earth, and then you just put them in a shitty plane, and people will pay $2,000 a seat. It makes no sense that planes don't have good Wi-Fi.
It's like we have not. Wi-Fi was introduced.
You're closer to the satellite. Right.
Good point. And Wi-Fi was introduced, what, 10 years ago maybe on planes-ish? Maybe.
gotten better. Maybe longer than that.
We have not gotten better whatsoever. I'm just saying, like, Boeing, if you're out there, just, you know, forget the software updates and all that.
They don't work anyways. Right.
Just go out, get a contract with Fios. Be heroes.
Be legends. Just load up with, like, the...
I want Wi-Fi that the router should be so heavy that the plane is actually in danger of crashing at all times. It should hardwire from the satellite.
Yes. It should just have a big fucking rope that goes down, that goes up to the satellite.
Speaking of makes no sense, this Denver Broncos minus 10 makes no sense to me, and therefore I'm going to take it. I can't remember the exact stat, but I remember it.
Like reading about it. Against the Texans.
Against the Texans. Yeah, against the Texans.
The Broncos in September at home are covering machines. Yeah, they tied.
They're covering machines because of the altitude and the heat, which we obviously know because we climb Mount Everest. Like, that combo is a killer.

I don't hate the pick.

Now, I mean, Houston deals with heat as well.

I do, but I'm still taking it.

I hate it also.

But not altitude.

Yeah, so Hank just kind of did the thing that I think a lot of people

out there are doing, which is they assume that the Texans won in week one

because they didn't lose.

Right.

And everybody was like, the Texans are definitely going to lose in week one.

Not the case. So now I think everybody's overvaluing the Texans.
And I don't know. I hate it too, Hank.
But I understand your thought process that you hate it so much that you love it. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
Hank's on the board. Yeah, this game.
I do think the Broncos, this is just, I mean, they can't be as bad as they would. They did.
Obviously, the goal line should happen. They did dominate the Seahawks, kind of.
Yes. No, that was the thing.
Geno Smith, we talked about on Wednesday's show, the Seahawks did not really move the ball in the second half, and the Broncos just kept on fumbling and making errors that were inexcusable. And it's a weird game with Russ going back to Seattle and all the emotion that was involved in it.
I don't think you can base anything about the Broncos on what happened week one because of that and the goal line fumbles. Yep.
I don't know though. Again, recurring guests of the show appreciate him coming on but like that's got to be he's got to be rattled.
Russ? I don't think no. Hackett.
Oh yeah. Well I appreciate what Hackett said.
He was like you can't you can say he's not rattled that's bad. He went in front of the media and he goes...
That was bad. He goes, yeah, I fucked it up.
Upon looking back on it, I probably should not have kicked that field goal. Yeah.
And I like that. He's being honest about it.
What do you want him to do? Keep lying about it? I just... He definitely has a little like, uh-oh.
Yeah. Yeah.
There has to be a little of that. Like, if I can't...
You start overthinking. Right.
Because you're like, all right, you right, I can't fuck it up. But then there's so many things you have to think about not fucking up that.
I think he'll be okay long term, but he's not. It's the worst way to start a career.
There's no way he's in his 100% confident mindset right now. Right, right.
Yeah. Max, your favorite.
Giants minus two against the Panthers. We had a line movement in that game uh they started off as the panthers start off as favorites in the partial sports book and now it's three-point line change i don't know it's weird game but i like the giants minus two i'm also i'm definitely buying what brian dable's selling even though it's been one game yeah i also am friends with a lot of giants And as an Eagles fan, I'm a little worried about them.
And it's probably me just being dumb. But I think the Giants might be kind of good.
You should not be worried about the Giants. Just remind yourself.
Yeah, it's Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones is a quarterback.
And he did look serviceable in a couple drives. He was very good.
The handoffs to Saquon Barkley were perfect by Daniel Jones. He put the ball exactly where it needed to be on those handoffs.
The one thing I'm worried about the Panthers, I think the Panthers might just stink, but will Baker have a better game because all the pressure is now off? That was a lot of pressure for him week one, similar to Russ. And the Browns defense is really good.
Yeah. PFT.
My favorite, I'm taking the Raiders. Minus five and a half.
It's a lot of points. The pinky ball.
Against the Cardinals. I'm taking the Raiders in this one because this weekend we've got Modern Warfare 2's beta coming out.
So it's the first weekend where people can play the next Call of Duty dropping and get a test for how the new game is going to be. And it's a limited release.
Shout out to MRAGS who gave me that intel. It it's a limited release so kyler is going to have to spend a lot of time on the sticks this weekend because they're going to take it away after the weekend's over yeah so i'm thinking that kyler is going to play with whatever version of a video game hangover that he plays with yep and then obviously you know uh las vegas i think they're a pretty good team offensively at least and uh yeah i just i i really like the Raiders in this one.
We're going to go with the Sabre metrics when it comes to video game. I'm rooting for you because this is going to be whichever team loses this game will be my pinky team, and I'm more scared of the Raiders than I am of the Cardinals.
I think the Cardinals are not good. So you're rooting against me then? No, I no i'm rooting for the raiders oh you want the raiders to be good enough to make the pinky bet interesting no no no no no if the raiders win they're not the pinky team oh that's right that's right my mistake i'm rooting for you the loser of this game is the pinky i have no worry about the cardinals yes i have if if the raiders lose this game i will be a little nervous because the raiders feel like a team that could somehow get hot, like, weirdly.
I agree with that. And also, Devontae Adams, his whole family is going to be in attendance for the first time.
So he's going to probably catch a touchdown. Yeah, definitely.
And, well, Derek Carr is going to target him, like, 25 times. Yep.
Okay, my favorite. Sorry, PFT.
I'm taking the Lions. First time they've been favorites in I I think, 24 games or something.

It's been a long, long time.

I feel like the Lions versus Carson Wentz means weird shit's going to happen,

and the Lions are going to find a way to win.

So are you taking them because, and I understand the sentiment if this is the case,

they haven't been favorites in so long that it's like,

I've got to take advantage.

I might not ever get this opportunity again. Let's take the Lions as favorites.
Well, it's also they shouldn't been favorites in so long that it's like, I've got to take advantage. I might not ever get this opportunity again.

Let's take the Lions as favorites.

Well, it's also they shouldn't be favorites, so that makes no sense,

so I have to bet on them.

It's a reverse logic.

So the Lions are two-point favorites, right?

One and a half.

One and a half.

So I did have the Commanders as my underdog in this,

so we're going head-to-head on it because I think the Lion is five points off.

I think it's Commanders by three.

Every team. Again, this is my model that I've had the boys in the back crunching some numbers on the Detroit Lions.
And I think that they should be three-point underdogs to every team in the NFL, regardless of team. Yes.
Yeah, it really is just like they shouldn't be favorites. So now I have to take that.
Yeah. Oh, I get that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay, Billy. My favorite is the Colts by four over the Jaguars.
Ooh. I don't love it.
I think it's just going to be – I feel like the Jaguars are going to be so defeated after their first loss and they're going to fall back into we're a shitty team, there's no hope, and the Colts are coming off a tie and they're going to be like, hey. Jaguars were in that game, though.
They should have won that game. Yeah, I don't think that's a game that they're, like, defeated from.
Carson Wentz put them in that game. No, but, like, all the buildup from the offseason, it's going to be a total letdown.
They're like, oh, shit, we still suck. Is there high expectations for the Jaguars? No, but their players were probably thinking it was going to be a different kind of season.
Starting off the loss is definitely a hit to the program. Guys are going to be thinking, hey, am I getting traded? I like calling an NFL team the program.
Listen, Billy, me saying I don't love it is good because I'm the worst gambler alive. I like Travis Etienne.
I think he's the real deal. But, Billy, your guy, Sam Ellinger, you've fucked up that name so many times now I don't know how to say it.
Sam Ellinger, he was inactive last week. That's bad for the vibes.
Real bad for the vibes.

He could get active.

He could get active.

He could get active.

They cut Rodrigo.

I think that's bad for the vibes, too. Did you see the picture of him?

It was so sad.

It's very sad.

He's out on a practice field attempting field goals on his own,

which would kind of lose or whatever.

The day he got cut, though, that felt sad.

Yeah.

That felt bad for him.

On the other hand, ball is life.

That's true.

Someone will maybe pick him up, but probably not. Okay.
Yeah. That's your pick, Colts.
Jake, finish us off with your favorite. My favorite is the biggest favorite on the board.
It's the Rams minus 10.5 against the Falcons. The Rams can't be as bad as they were.
A national spotlight opening night. Maybe they are? Maybe.
10.5 is a lot of points, Jake. 10.5 lot of points.
But the Falcons cross-country road trip. Okay, yeah.
They're not that good. Now you're talking smart stuff.
When you got in time zones, I'm like, let's go. Yeah, that's a lot of miles.
Oh, my God. We probably don't even have Wi-Fi on that flight.
Exactly. So they're going to get bored and antsy on it.
Yeah, okay. That'll factor into it.
That's true. Let's just base all our bets on having to deal with shitty Wi-Fi.
Yeah, their mind is wandering. Yeah, no, okay.
Now I'm talking to them. Probably can't connect to their playbook on the plane.
I do think this is, and we obviously overreact always in September, but there's a couple games where it's like this will, I will make a judgment for a very long time based on, like if the Rams don't win this game. You're out on them until like they win row right if they struggle with the falcons i think they have very very serious right that's why it's like back against the wall yeah you're right smoke them they should kill them yeah i don't know if they will right let's just think that um like the falcons they yeah they lost but they also were good enough to build a 16 point lead true in the fourth quarter good point.
So they might not be as bad as, as that L stands for the record book. Yeah.
It's a risk. Moral victory.
Yeah. So this is us just like trying to talk our way into both sides of the equation.
Also, Arthur Smith, please hire Will Compton. Yes.
He's getting very, very desperate. Yes.
Very desperate. It's sad.
He just needs one game to be active for his 10th year. We had to pitch Arthur Smith on hiring Will Compton to be a fullback.
That's how bad things are getting right now. Just to try to get in a fight with Aaron Donald.
Which would be the best strategy ever is to have Will Compton go out there, fight against Aaron Donald, get Aaron Donald thrown out of the game, and Will Compton sent to the hospital. Yep.
He's willing to do it for the team. Hank, your dog.
I am going against PFT. I am taking the Cardinals.
I will be putting them in the Moneyline Parlay. I think they're going to win this game.
I think the Call of Duty thing has been obviously very publicized in the past year. And I think it's one of those things that now that it has been publicized, it's not going to be a factor.
You think he's going to quit? He's just going cold turkey? I think actually him quitting Call of Duty cold turkey would be worse. Yeah, he's jonesing for it.
He's just going to be thinking about it. I also think with the open beta, it's not really like, it's not Warzone 2.
It's not the full game experience. It's more just like a little sample.
It's not something that you want to sit and play for hours and hours and hours. But you've got to sample.
Yeah. Right, but you can sample it for an hour or two and then be like, all right, I'll come back to this when it actually comes out in a few months.
No, according to MRAGS, he said it's not exactly Warzone, but it's Call of Duty multiplayer, like Team Deathmatch, for the new Call of Duty that drops on October 28th. So it's the first time that he's not going to be able to play it after this weekend.
So he has to get his minutes in. People play Warzone now.
I just love this. Our gambling picks are flights, Wi-Fi, teams that shouldn't be favored, that are favored, and Call of Duty.
This is the good stuff, folks. And my point is that everyone is up his ass about Call of Duty, Call of Duty, Call of Duty.
Everything he does is a Call of Duty meme, so I think he obviously knows that. It would be crazy for him to then play Call of Duty for 15 hours and be in a bad place for the game.
What else is he going to do? I don't think he does anything else. I don't know.
Okay, Max. I like the Saints plus two and a half at home against the Bucs uh divisional dog um the Saints I don't know I like the Saints the Bucs didn't look great on Sunday and it's kind of like that was the worst Sunday night football game of all time that we just watched oh I've watched way I mean I mean the I mean, the Bears are playing the Packers on Sunday night.
The worst Sunday night of all time that I watched in the past week. Good point.
Do you remember that Commander's Eagles game where Peterson put Nate Sudfeld in? That was a pretty bad one, too. That was pretty bad.
Everything is within the past week of all time. Yeah, no, we are.
I'm punishing the Bucs after making us watch that. If there's one thing this podcast is elite at,

it's recency bias.

Whatever just happened, we are like,

that is the most important thing that happened.

Yeah, so I hate the Bucs.

I hate the Bucs.

In true fashion, our best gambler of all time is a goldfish.

Yeah, right.

He has the most recency bias of all time of any animal.

Exactly. All right, I like that pick.
PFT. Okay, so, yeah, my favorite, or my underdog is the Commanders at the Lions.
Okay. Okay, head-to-head.
So we're head-to-head both ways now so far. I am going to take...
I'm going to go with Saints as well.

I wish we had gotten three, but I think they're going to win this game.

Dennis Allen knows how to play against Tom Brady.

The Cowboys could not have been more inept.

And Jameis is

two Hall of Fame quarterbacks going up against each other.

It also opened at three and is

down to two and a half, but all the public

money is on the Bucs. Look at that.
Sharp. Sharp.
Maxi Sharp boy. All right.
Giselle gave a very interesting interview earlier this week. She said, I've been a good supportive wife.
Now it's my time, pretty much. She's so mad at Tom Brady for coming back.
She's so mad. He was supposed to just be babysitting this year she could go out and do like her climate change stuff and all her activism that she's really into yeah and then two weeks in training camp like or two weeks in the off season tom's like uh you know what can you just watch the kids for another year and i am i know it sounds crazy but i do think she should not be mad at tom brady she should be mad at adam schefter because i think if tom brady was allowed to announce his own retirement he might have stayed retired yeah yeah Schefter screwed everything uh okay Billy you're your underdog I like Steelers by two uh they're plus two I think the Patriots there's blood in the water and it's a big game for the Steelers they're getting up for the Steelers all protein bars generally taste the same but not one bars one made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.
Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's Protein Bar is made with Reese's Peanut Butter, and only one Hershey's Cookies and Cream Protein Bars is made with Hershey's Cookie Bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar. One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick me up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.
One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.
Okay. that is your underdog.
Hank, how are you feeling

about this game? Because this is another game where it's like, I think the Patriots are going

to win, but if they don't, now it's like, ooh, this could be a panic button for you.

No, the panic button. I mean, there is no panic button.
Oh, okay. We're chilling.
Okay,

you're chilling. The Steelers are a money dog.
They're a money line dog. Yeah.
I like,

If you want to No, the panic button. I mean, there is no panic button.
Oh, okay. We're chilling.
Okay, you're chilling. The Steelers are a money dog.

They're a money line dog.

Yeah.

Like, if you weren't a Patriots fan, you would love this pick.

You probably would.

Yeah.

He's right.

Devin's right.

Devin's right.

I'm not going to take it, but he's right.

You should take it.

If the Patriots lose this, you got to talk about blowing something up.

Maybe don't blow it all up.

Blowing a football up.

Something needs to be blown up. Yes.
Agreed. All right, Jake, finish us off with your underdog.
Yeah, I'm going out west. I'm taking the Seahawks plus eight and a half against the 49ers.
49ers. Gino believer.
Looked like trash against your Bears. I know it was raining, but Kittle's still not practicing.
They're running back. Elijah Mitchell's always hurt.
Yeah. So he was.
But I don't know how much confidence Trey Lance has right now. They're supposed to beat the Bears easily, and I think that's a lot of points for a divisional game.
So the only reason I don't love that one is the same thing I was talking about, the Patriots, the teams that made the playoffs last year who are 0-1 playing a 1-0 team. It's a pretty good trend if you follow trends week two.

So there's a couple that are like that that you can find out there.

Okay, Hank, your favorite over.

My favorite over is the Patriots-Steelers.

Really?

Mack Jones, Mitch Trubisky, two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL,

two top ten quarterbacks.

Psycho pick. Only getting 40 points.

It's disrespectful to both of them.

I think they are both number 10, right?

They are both number 10.

They're two top 10 quarterbacks.

Maybe top five.

Number-wise in the NFL.

That's very true.

10 out of 10.

But yeah, I mean, it's going to be an absolute slugfest.

With points.

With points.

Yeah, slugfest is not what I...

You say a game's going to be a slugfest.

I'm not thinking points.

You say barn burner.

You want shootout. Yeah, you're going to like the scoreboard up.
What's the number on that again? 40. Should be 60.
Ball alternate. Take it all the way up to 60, baby.
I probably will take an alternate. All right, your favorite over, Max.
I like the Dolphins-Ravens over 44 and a half. Ooh.
I think this has a chance to be a fun game. Yeah.
The Ravens basically had a bye week one. Jets stink.
That's true. That was a virtual bye.
A lot of people writing Joe Flacco off. He ain't right back.
Yeah. This is another one I have circled.
If the Dolphins go into Baltimore and win, I'm going to have to start taking them for real, for real. Yeah, I actually agree with Max's analysis.
This is going to be a fun game. Yeah.
I think we don't really know what we're going to get week to week with the Dolphins' offense yet because we've only seen one game, and we know that week to week the Ravens can score points on anybody. And I just – Tyree Kelly equals points.
So that's – he's now on the Dolphins. So If I'm coaching the Ravens this weekend, I get Patrick Ricard involved as early as possible.
I just have him run the fuck over somebody. I have him like, I drop a play.
Set the tone. And the entire tone of the play is just, you go flatten somebody and then step on their face.
And we see at that point if the Dolphins are a candy-ass soft team. Mm-hmm.
I like it. He's literally the Kool-Aid man.
He is, yeah. I did the math with his 40 time and his weight and size.
He could run through a brick wall. Wow.
He is literally the Kool-Aid. Yeah.
What are the Kool-Aid man's dimensions? Different than Patrick Ricard. Okay.
But he could still generate enough force to go through a brick wall. Yeah.
Love it. He might be my favorite player in the NFL.
Also, I think he's in AWL, so shout out. Shout out Patrick.
The Kool-Aid man, six feet tall, 6,000 pounds. Oh, wow.
Oh, that's like water weight. Yeah, that's true.
He could go on a diet. Oh, it's 6,000 pounds went dry, 11,000 pounds went full of Kool-Aid.
Wow. Wait, so he's 6,000 pounds dry? That's some thick glass000-pound glass.
Yeah, they need to redesign that glass. That's bulletproof? Actually, he would shatter if you tried to go through it.
Well, he might be bulletproof with that much weight. Is it bulletproof? Okay.
Yeah, you could make a sick bong out of the Kool-Aid. His glass is 3.6 inches thick.
Wow, that's really thick. Holy fuck.
I love when we have dimensions of the Kool-Aid, man. Over.
Over. I have Jets-Browns, 40.
So over 40 points. Two bad offensive teams.
40 is a low number, though. That's my entire analysis.
It's going to be a slugfest. It's going to be a shootout.
This one's going to be a shootout. It's going to be 41 points.
I mean, Flacco throws like 60 times. Yeah, so I mean, Flacco is not going to throw that many.
And as... I don't know.
There's no way that he can possibly throw that many times. He's going to die if he throws that many times.
Think about how sore he was. Oh, my God.
So sore. Yeah.
So, over 40 points. I feel like that's an easy, easy dub.
Okay. I'm going to take the Panthers-Giants over 43 and a half.
I don't really have any reasoning other than I don't think either team is good. But, yeah, there is no reasoning behind this pick.
That's fine. Yeah.
I'm being brutally honest with the listeners. I just saw it and was like, yeah, that seems right.
But couldn't you expect, like, looking at – what's the total on this one? 43.5. 43.5.
Looking at this game, you wouldn't be shocked if you saw the final scoreboard and it was 27-20. Yeah.
Right? 27-24 maybe. Yeah.
That doesn't feel like, whoa, that's crazy, Big Cat. Yeah, 24-21.
Yeah. That got it.
It can happen. Yeah, it definitely can happen.
Billy. I like Bucs Saints 44.
It's at the Dome, and I think it's going to be a shootout. Yeah, there actually is some stats behind, because the Saints played Tom Brady very well,

but Tom Brady has decent offensive performances in New Orleans,

not in Tampa Bay when he's playing the Saints,

which is a little weird.

Is that the playoff game, though, included?

The playoff game included, but the other, what has he been,

three regular season games.

He's been there for three.

Has he been in the Bucs for three? No, this will be his third. This is his third season.
Yeah. Yeah.
But remember, Dome. Dome.
Dome. Dome over.
Yeah, Dome over. Dome over.
Dover. Dover.
The Dover. Jake.
I'm going to go with Commanders, Lions over 48 and a half. I like that.
It's a big number. They're not exactly the sexiest teams, but you look at week one.
Whoa. I mean you look at Commanders-Lions, it's not like the Bills, the Chiefs, the Rams.
Jared Goff. I think it's a sexy – I like that pick because this – In week one, yes.
It's the chaos game. I think this is going to be the chaos game.
And, Jake, I get it. The Commanders will never be a sexy team, no matter how good they are.
As of right now. Yeah, as of right now.
But I'll tell you what, they do have sexy wide receivers.

Absolutely.

But the commanders,

I would actually say the commanders wide receivers.

Here's a bold take that I actually believe in.

I think about the commanders.

I can't tell if it's just me being a Homer.

I think they have a top three receiving core in the NFL.

I think it's like, it's that fucking good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You look at week one,

commanders,

28 lines,

put up 35.

It's a lot of points.

Do it.

Okay.

Let's do it.

Eight and a half.

Seven touchdowns.

I'd be happy with the seven touchdowns.

Sign me up.

Yeah.

That's a lot of points. Let's do it.
Okay. Let's do it.
48 and a half. Seven touchdowns.
I'd be happy with the seven touchdowns. Sign me up.
Yeah. That's football, baby.
That's easy. That's easy.
That's light work. Okay.
Let's finish up with the under, and then we'll do fancy fuck boys. Also, we need our Mount Rushmore.
So pick a player, everyone. Hank.
I know who mine is. Okay.
You want me to say it? All right. Go ahead.
Say it. Saquon.
Fuck, that was who I was going to take.

Take McCaffrey.

I looked at it, and I was like, everyone's going to take Saquon.

Yeah.

That was a great pick.

Yeah, I took him last week, too. He led the league, right?

I have rights.

Lead leaguer?

You have Prima Nocta on Saquon?

Yes.

Okay.

You're under.

My under, I'm going against Jake, Commander's Lions.

The Lions are a sexy team. Jared Goff, sexy man.
I think he's going to put up 40, but that's not going to be enough. Under 48 and a half.
Okay. 40 to 7 Lions.
Yep. Max, yours? Raiders Cardinals under.
Oh. 51 and a half.
That's not fun. That's not fun.
That's bold. What if these teams stink? Max is trying to act sharp.
Yeah, you are trying to be sharp. You're trying to be too smart for this show.
He's got stats and line movements. Oh, no.
That is – We've been talking the whole thing of what if these teams stink? Yeah, but that's – And if they stink, that's an under. But I'm also thinking about where – Devontae Adams' family is going to be there.
Yeah. And Sunday at 4 o'clock, you're going to be looking at the next slate of games.
You're going to be like, oh, yeah, let's go over. Yeah.
That's just a note. Don't think, just shoot.
Also, the field that they have in Las Vegas is so similar to the field they have in Arizona. It looks the exact same to me.
It's basically a home game for the Arizona Cardinals. I should have figured that in.
Yeah. Factored that in.
The fact that shade of green on the grass is identical. Big mistake.
Okay, PFT're under my under i'm doing saints bucks okay so 44 i think uh saints 40 bucks zero nice nice for saints 40 bucks zero and i stand by my take that sean payton is is like a shadow coach of this team because he didn't expect to not be coaching this year yep i think you saw the Tem hill touchdown run that had sean payton's fingerprints all over yep yep um okay i'm gonna take uh the bears packers under 41 and a half because i'm just doing this because i think the only way only 42 now 42 great love it even more the only chance the bears have is if it's very very low scoring so i'm just rooting for a low scoring game and it's going to be a painful game anyway for me so why not also make it extra painful and have the under can i give you keys to victory for the bears sure just run the ball and don't let aaron rogers have the ball i like that or i have is his wide receivers are so bad maybe you should let him have the ball that's interesting he said that he said that he has to get on the same frequency as his wide receivers.

It means they have to do drugs.

I mean, Aaron Rodgers is a bad quarterback for not inviting any teammates on that trip.

Yes.

I am dreading this game.

There's a small part of me like, what if?

Maybe the Bears can do it.

But the reality is starting to set in that this is going to be a torture chamber.

So might as well make it an extra torture chamber. Take the under.
Billy. Detroit, Washington, 48 and a half.
Okay. Under.
So we got two unders on that. And then Jake, finish us off.
I'm going to take Colts, Jags, under 45 and a half. I'm going to say the Jags are in a GAMI game every week.
Yeah. It doesn't seem like.
GAMI vibes. Yeah.
GAMI vibes. Like missed extra points.
Yeah. But points yeah but safeties i don't know yeah i think this is like a 26 11 game i don't even know if that's gami but i don't hate that i don't hate that i i feel like the uh the afc south is the most gamiable division it's not a gami it's got gami written all over it i'll go 25 25 11 okay okay only game we didn't talk about was Bengals-Cowboys, Cooper Rush.
That's right, yeah. So we're doing Cooper Rush, huh? Would you go stick with Cooper Rush? I think so.
I think they're just doing the Cooper Rush thing. I saw a lot of Cooper Rush in the preseason because I was waiting to watch Ben DiNucci get in the games.
Cooper Rush, not good. Yeah.
Not good. Sorry, Cooper.
I'm sure that you have AWL vibes on you. I'm sure you're a good guy.
He had that one good game against the Vikings. Not good.
Not good. Yeah.
Not good. Sorry, Cooper.
I'm sure that you have AWL vibes on you. Yeah.
I'm sure you're a good guy. He had that one good game against the Vikings.
Not good. Not good.
Yeah, I think this is another game where the Bengals have to blow them out for me to be like, yep, Bengals are back. Also, if you're Mike McCarthy, it takes everything in your body not to screw up a perfect game plan with your starting quarterback.
Yes. With a good quarterback like Dak.
Yes. Once Cooper Rush gets gets in the game he magnifies all the boneheaded bird brain mistakes that Mike McCarthy will make yes um all right so we have Saquon PFT what's your pick uh I'm gonna take Chubb okay I'm going Nick Chubb on this one uh even though he did say like he likes the nickname Chunt this week for him and Kareem Hunt okay Okay.
I still think we're going to get a healthy dose,

more than just a half chub. We're going to get almost a full chub this weekend.

Okay.

Is DeAndre Swift hurt?

I don't know.

I was going to go DeAndre Swift,

but now I'm thinking,

did I hear something that he might be hurt?

He missed Wednesday's practice.

All right, let's just go with Jonathan Taylor.

Jonathan Taylor.

No, I think you can't do Monday night. They're playing Monday night.
So pick something that's happening on Sunday. Maybe just go.
He said that it's nothing to worry about. DeAndre Swift, his ankle injury.
Go McCaffrey. Just go McCaffrey.
Go McCaffrey. Because then we have it all in one game.
Did he get hurt? Oh, he might have. Yeah, he's always hurt.
Statistically, yes. We were thinking of Lenny, but he was limited in practice yesterday.
Everyone's hurt. Fuck.
They really tricked us with this. Mount Rushmore.
It's a hard one. It's way harder.
Cam Akers. Yeah, fuck that.
Ooh, James Robinson was good. That's my under game.
Yeah. Yeah.
Go with McCaffrey. We'll have Saquon and McCaffrey.
Are we sure? I want them. Okay, you guys go.
You don't want to make two picks. You guys got to make a pick.
You guys got to make a pick. You're right.
You're right. You're right.
You guys should have done this. Can I throw out another name? Javante Williams, maybe? He splits too much.
Okay, fuck. Jake, make a pick.
Just make a pick. Lenny.
Lenny. Lenny.
Lenny. Leonard Fournette.
Okay. Okay.
Pick has been made.

So Saquon, Leonard Fournette, Jonathan Taylor.

Barstool Lenny.

And what was yours PFT?

I had Chubb.

Chubb.

They all have to hit 50 yards rushing,

and they will be in the Barstool Sportsbook exclusives.

So Mount Rushmore bet.

We're 0-1, but with the odds that we're working with,

we just got to hit like four or five times this year, and we'll be plus money. Okay, good preview.
I think everyone learned a lot during that. Should we do Fantasy Fuckboys, and we'll get to the DeVitos? Yeah, I'm not going to lie.
I thought we were doing Fantasy Lad Boys, but I'll just read it. I can switch on a fly.
No, I mean, it mean, I can, it's just, that's fine. Oi.
Oi. Oi.
Cheerio. I want to stand with you on a mountain.

I've got an issue with the sun, but it's the newspaper. My sleeper is Saquon Barkley.
It's revenge season for Saquon. Barkley.
Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hello, it's Primrose Cumberbatch.
And my starter, starter is cider. Go to a nice pub, walk down the street with your fellas and go get some nice cider.

Well, I'm a posh boy. You guys are the rabble.
Yeah. Rabble rousers.
I'm the posh boy. I go to the cider.

He did a great job there.

That's the crazy thing.

Like Billy, when he talks in a

Russian accent, when he talks in

Australian or English accent, he

stops thinking so much.

So he's actually smarter when he

talks.

Yes.

It's the most bizarre thing I've

ever seen.

Yeah.

Billy needs to run tempo on his

brain.

I was better in the hurry up. He needs to run a two-minute offense at all times.
All right. It's like after a quarterback gets hit a few times, they feel more comfortable, they settle in.
Yeah. That's actually facts.
Yeah. That's Billy.
Okay, let's get to our great interview with Danny DeVito and Lucy DeVito in studio. PFT, you got a quick word for me.
Hey, it's Rhea from Chicks in the Office. It's officially mini skort season, and Abercrombie has the ones to go out in.
Their Scarlet Mini is a classic. It's one of those skirts that fits the outfit vibe for any plans.
And I'm excited to style their new Sienna skort. It's a little more flirty, and it's perfect for a date night.
Make plans to go out in abercrombie shop their newest arrivals in store and online okay we now welcome on two very special guests it is danny and lucy devito they have a show called little demon on fxx on thursday night you can watch it the next day on hulu as well. First of all, thank you for coming and sitting on our gross couch.

So cool to be here.

Thank you for having us.

Yeah.

You know, the couch definitely has, you know, a personality of its own.

Yeah, you guys.

It's so loved. It kind of grows on you.

Yeah.

Is it named?

Do you have a name for it?

Blake.

Blake.

Blake the couch.

Blake the couch.

Hey, Blake.

You see that?

It's held up by paint cans.

Yeah, it's good. Yeah.
This is probably the first time I've been truly embarrassed To have two guests That you know Come in and they're like Wait we're sitting there Alright Yeah That's where you're sitting You're gonna sink in No but now I feel bad for Blake Yeah we like Blake He's been through a lot And I bet he's good sleeping too Yeah I bet you can fall asleep Oh yeah I've fallen asleep on Many, many times. Jake has cuddled on Blake before.
That couch has seen some shit. If this couch could talk.
Tried tears of sorrow into the pillows of Blake. Yes.
So thank you guys for coming in. We appreciate it.
We're big fans. Little Demon, I'll start off with the question that I was thinking right off the bat.
Obviously, Danny, you play the dad. Lucy, you're his daughter, and you're a little demon.
That's kind of fucked up for you, right? He's basically like, you're Satan's daughter. Yeah.
No, I mean, it's about a 13-year-old girl who has been moved from town to town. She has lived her whole life with her mom a single mom aubrey plaza and um she uh starts her first day of school and um has some you know crazy uh event happened to her and um she finds out that she's the antichrist and that her dad who she thought was dead was actually not he's just not alive he's satan and so now he knows of her whereabouts and um chrissy meets satan and you know we uh you know the story unfolds i've been looking for her for a long time i know i had a kid you know what i'm saying aubrey plaza plays uh her mother she's been hiding the kid from me why so you know i'm looking all over the place and they're going from town to town to town this is all before the the show really starts right the first show is like when she has her period and uh she also finds these powers that she has as a young teenager that's real that's what that's a normal

thing for women that's a normal thing so when did she find out that she's stronger than anything yeah you know it's like they can take rip you apart and and so this signals well also over they wind up in delaware which is where they went where it happens that would be a perfect place It's the perfect place to do it.

It is hell.

It is hell.

And Chrissy, she opens up, besides having all these powers that she acquires, she opens up a big, big hole in the sky up above Delaware, which signals there's nowhere to hide from Satan. See, and I come.
She also realizes she can murder people. Oh, okay.
I like that. Is it weird? Because Aubrey Plaza, I don't know how old she is, but I think she's probably, is she younger than you? Yeah, no, we're like the same age.
Same age? Yeah. So how does that work out when you're playing somebody's daughter who's your peer? Well, it's an animated show.
Right. So we sort of just get into the characters, and have a very i don't know we have a very it the relationship works yeah i feel very comforted by her and uh you know she takes care of me do you have lucy do you have like flashbacks when you're doing dialogue of of like fights that you got into with your father when you were a kid and stuff like is there moments It's like, oh, I can draw on these emotions because I lived them? Yeah, I was constantly like, dad, you're the fucking devil.
You know, I hate what you made me. Yes.
When you're doing voice acting, how much of it is you in a booth doing it? And how much is it a team environment where you're playing off the lines that other people are delivering as opposed to just hearing them in headphones yeah well we um you mostly do it one on like just on your own but um we sort of set it up so we did it all during the pandemic so we had people on zoom and we sort of organized the right time so that we could um we could actually have scenes together because we got a lot of great stuff from the spontaneity of some improv. It's mostly scripted, but there is some improv in it.
Some things happen. You get to talk over each other.
Somebody's going to say something on the top of you. Work on the relationship that way.
So, Danny, when Lucy decided to be an actress, were you like, oh, no, why are you getting into the family business? On the au contraire. Okay.
No, man. See, from the whole idea, well, the whole idea is from the very beginning when she was like in grade school, I always saw her, you know, performing, doing stuff.
She always liked it. She was into it.
Well, we're saturated with it. Movies all the time.
Television's always on. Everybody's doing.
Everybody's carrying on. The Italian Jewish family, you know, and everybody's grabbing for this and doing that and trying to take focus and, you know, living with me for crying out loud.
You really got to be the Antichrist. And my mom, you know, is also an actress, Maria Perlman,'s just like kind of like we were a very performative family and i saw her in high school do some really cool things not only when she was in grade school when she played the first thing i ever saw her do is she played in a in a garden play or something she played an aunt right crawley an ant yeah and then in high school yeah like the bug yeah and like in high school i saw her do a neil labute play which was really like really strong very good disturbing but good but you know i like the dark side you know so all that good good stuff and i realized that she was gonna do it and you know the best thing to do with your kids is to go along with that stuff those impulsesses.
Right. You don't want to fight that.
Because, yeah, I mean, I was going to say, if either of my children become podcasters, I'll kill them. So that's not happening.
But that's not true. I think you're saying that now.
But if your son or your daughter wanted to do what you're doing, you know, have some fun like this with that beautiful desk and you two guys like hanging out. This beautiful desk.
Let's see, we've got a syringe. We have a medical syringe.
See, I think I view podcasting as like the coal mine. I went to podcasting so you didn't have to, so you could have a better life than me.
How old are your kids? Three and one. Okay.
Well, we've got some time to see what they like. There won't be podcasting in the future.
It'll be whatever the next iteration. Whatever the hell it is.
Somebody's always going to want to listen to somebody else talking to kill the time. Exactly.
So when you were growing up, would you watch his movies? Would he make you watch his movies? Or are there certain ones that you're like, I don't want to watch Rainmaker again, Dad. I loved all of his movies.
Which ones didn't you love? No, no, no. I mean, I feel like I grew up with Matilda and Rainmaker.
He's done so many great movies. Me and my sister begged him to show us Pulp Fiction because he produced Pulp Fiction.
But we were way too young young to watch it. Yeah.
But, you know, we manipulated him enough. We got to show it to us, you know.
No, but he never forced us to watch anything. Only like sit down and watch it.
No, it was mostly like watch this Humphrey Bogart. Yeah.
Yeah. I try to introduce right away, you know, in the early days, black and and white movies because you know they're they're only seeing like all the stuff that's available at that time when they were kids but i wanted them to see not only uh you know movies of my that i grew up with with bogey and peter lorre and like all these great uh you know billy wilder movies and stuff but i also tried to introduce uh them reading subtitles subtitles.
That was big, man. When they got to the point where I could sit them down and look at a French movie or an Italian movie or something where you had to read the subtitles.
So what age did he make you watch, or were you allowed to watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? Because I remember my dad made me watch that when I was like 10. And I mean, it was one of my favorite movies ever.

But was that an early one

or was that one that was like,

hey, let's wait for this one

because everyone's crazy in it?

I don't know.

I don't remember the exact time I watched it,

but I mean, I fucking love that movie.

Yeah, I mean, it's one of the best movies ever.

Yeah, yeah.

And I actually recently re-watched it not too long ago and it just holds up. So it's an amazing movie.
Absolutely. Yeah.
When you were making Pulp Fiction, I don't know how involved in the day-to-day process of that film you were. Did you know that it was going to be great, or was it one of those things where you were holding your breath because there's so much crazy stuff happening? You know, that second part.
What it was was in the very beginning i read a script by quentin called uh reservoir dogs yeah i it hadn't been made yet but it was already being made so i read this script and felt i said this is the shit man i want to be involved with this guy so i said let me i'd like to meet quentin and because i thought the script was great this Reservoir Dogs that wasn't available so I said to him I had a little meeting with him I said look look he was telling me all of his likes and things that he was going to do and I said look I don't care what it is whatever your next movie is I'd love to be involved because I had this energy that He, you know, you know, Quentin. So, you know, that's the way he is.
So I made a deal with him sight unseen to do his next picture. And I waited a year for him while he was promoting Reservoir Dogs, going all over the world, you know, and finally one day this script was delivered 155 pages.
I remember when I got it, it said,

Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino, Final Draft.

And I said, holy shit, I can't wait.

And I sat down and read that baby, and I just was blown away by it.

So I was really lucky to, well, first of all,

I had the instinct to want to be in business with him,

but I was really lucky that he was so good.

Yeah, I would also think that a script like that it can be it could be a little overwhelming sometimes because there's so much going on and you know that it could be good but there's a lot that needs to happen to tie it all together in terms of like the visual storytelling of it as well but the fact that you had already tied yourself in you're like i'm already in so i believe in this guy but also the thing about it is

that i know quentin so i know that 155 pages you give that to a studio and you give that to somebody

and they time the script that's what they do they look at it and they say well shit like 155 pages

i said listen this is the way you got to talk because it's the way the guy talks so when you

read the script you gotta read it like this thing maybe 155 pages, but it ain't going to be 155 fucking minutes. So it was a labor of love for him and everybody who was involved.
And I didn't get the day-to-day. I was doing all kinds of shit with Jersey films and doing a lot of stuff.
So I got to visit. I got to meet everybody.
I got to hang out a little bit with them. And, and so I didn't get the day to day stuff like being on set when, you know, everybody was doing there when Sam Jackson and they were all doing their shit.
But I do remember one story that I can tell you that I brought the script to a studio that I had to deal with that who paid for the the the script right for him I had to deal with the studio and I brought it to them they wouldn't do it it was tri-star they wouldn't do it huh they said it's too violent I said what the fuck you're talking about you've got Stallone hanging off a mountain shooting people with a newsie right now this is a a comedy. You know what I mean? Right.
All right? So I went, then I brought it to Weinstein, right? So Weinstein had already was working on Reservoir Dogs. He immediately said, yes, okay? Only catch was he wanted Daniel Day-Lewis to play the part of it.
He did? I didn't know that. Wow.
Harvey wanted Daniel. Because Daniel Day-Lew an academy award I think for my left foot whatever it was called at the time this is back then in the day and I said wait a minute this is this is not going to work man because I already said to Quentin I'm going to make the movie you want to make right and Quentin wants John Travolta Harvey won he went he almost fucking lit the room.
He was going crazy. I said, no, man, this is the way it's got to be.
You got Travolta or you don't have a movie? And we stuck to our guns and John got what he wanted. And I mean, Quentin got what he wanted.
And we got John Travolta in the part. Yeah, Travolta hadn't really, he wasn't an A-lister at the time.
No, at the time. It was his comeback.
Yeah, it was his comeback.

He's great.

God, you know, he's great in the movie, and he's a great guy, and he's a good actor.

I can't imagine that movie with Daniel Day-Lewis.

No, it's a bit of a different movie.

It's totally, totally.

Also, how would we have done that method-wise, you know what I mean?

Yeah, that's true.

He would have had to really do some fucked up shit.

He would be in jail right now.

Yeah, he would.

Yeah. Is it weird, you know, talking about Pulp Fiction, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Twins, all these movies that are classics, and now people probably just yell rum ham at you when you're walking down the street.
Absolutely. Rum ham.
Yeah, if you had a moment where you're like, oh, this is what I'm at. This is what I am now.
Yeah. I've become.
Well, it's like kind of cool, though you know what i mean like with the whole the whole thing where you go people transfer like when louis when i did taxi uh you know the next day it was like every anywhere you went it was louis hey louis hey louis louis and they'd play the song when i come in and the whole thing louis louis you know that whole thing and then now with uh with uh it's always sunny uh frank has become like you know it's a strong and the ham it's a classic oh yeah people have tattoos in the ham yeah so yes really is that weird for you lucy like your your dad you know obviously all growing up he's an actor and then he gets this part that becomes like we're we're the same age and like it's our age demo just loves this show and now loves your dad in a totally different way no i mean it's it's it's awesome i think it's really cool you know that he's able to like i don't know i have friends who've seen sunny is one of those shows that like i've seen i see it i've seen and but i don't know the episodes back and forwards like some people do and i you know i love people know my dad in that way. I think it's really funny and awesome.
I don't know. I think it's cool.
It's a totally different second act of your entire career. Always Sunny is, I think if you pull everyone in this office, it's a top five show for everyone.
We've done enough of them. We're going to more though we're going back yeah we're gonna go in uh you know the guys are great to work with the you know and they they do a they actually have a podcast by the way oh yeah they've been doing i haven't been on it yet but the whole idea is that we're gonna go back i think in january for season could it be 16s yeah something like that man but we have a good time doing it and you just say like look and I do almost anything basically you know it's written that we talk about it and everything like am I going to come out of a couch naked or am I going to am I going to jump flat fall out a window my mind? Am I going to be slimed?

And what's going to happen?

And I'm game.

You know, I did whitey tighties naked in that,

well, half naked in a couple shows where I was laying on the ground.

Oh, yeah, was that?

I was slimed.

Nightworms?

I was washing, yeah.

Was that the game you would play?

Something like that.

Oh, well, you mean, yeah, with Charlie.

Yeah, you just crawl around on your stomach in the middle of the night.

Yeah, we do that. I mean, I shit in the bed once.
You poop the bed. You know, it's like, they're a little nuts, those guys.
I think the great part about that show is that you can keep getting away with a lot of stuff. All the characters can do basically whatever they want because the unspoken joke that the audience is in on is that all these characters are detestable.
Yeah. They're assholes.
And they're all assholes. They're all assholes so you you can say things on that show that you wouldn't be able to say if you were not operating under that premise so i guess my question would be like is has there ever been a moment where they tried to write something that was so out there that you're like i don't i don't think we can make this funny well no they did one thing we we try everything you know we try all kinds of stuff but they did one thing i was uh i remember it was early morning i was going to go to work i was about to go to a read-through of the first uh script for that season i can't remember which season and somebody handed me a script at the house and said look the the guys that changed mind.
They're going to do this script instead of the one you were going to read.

And I said, oh, God, okay.

They said, but they want you to read it right away.

And they're all in the office, and they want to hear what you have to say because they're going to change up,

and this is going to be the first show of the season.

I said, cool.

So I start reading it, and it's a show, normal show. They're in the bar.
They're doing some prank. They're doing something.
They're trying to get over on somebody. And they need a hooker.
So they send me out to get a hooker. So I go in a car.
I go to get a hooker. I get arrested immediately.
Page four, I get arrested, right? I'm thrown in jail. I'm in a shower getting banged by some guy.
Okay, wait so and i read and then they go back to the bar and they're doing some more antics and everything they wrote an entire script where i get banged like six times by white supremacists by cops by everybody until the very last moment the cop i'm down frank is like you know description of description of me laying on a cot. I'm depleted.
I've been banged by everybody. And the cop says, somebody made your bail.
And I go, oh, thank God I get up. And it says he's walking.
He can't walk. And finally, the cop, this big guy, says, he's got a billy club in his hand.
He says, well, Frank, you're not going to leave before you say goodbye. And he throws me down on the ground.
And all the cops come. And in the very last moment of the script, the cop leans into me and says april fool motherfucker and i knew immediately that it was april 1st and those sons of bitches wrote a whole script just to bust my ball i called them up they were all sitting around with the speakerphone laughing their asses off.

I was like an inch away from calling my lawyer.

At the same time, like, it's a fucked up script,

but I could actually see that work.

I mean, I'm sure it was a good script.

I visualized the whole thing.

I was like, that's funny.

He got to the end.

Yeah, I want casting approval of the guys.

Yeah.

So, Lucy, knowing that, like, your dad has done all these different things

Thank you. After they end.
Yeah, I want casting approval at a guy. Yes, yes.
So, Lucy, knowing that, like, your dad has done all these different things, have you thought about your career and, like, what's the different thing you want to do or what's the next big thing you want to do? Yeah, I mean, I've sort of been really excited by, I mean, I've been acting and wanting to do more, you know, TV film stuff, but I've also been getting more involved in producing. And so, yeah, we've, and we're producing together, we produced Little Demon, and we're working on a few other projects, you know, movies, and I'm, I'm kind of like excited about the idea of like, before think like earlier on I was very focused on just like wanting to get myself out there and be, you know, I don't know, taken seriously as an actor.
And then now I'm I'm I still want that. But also I want to be able to generate my own stuff.

Right.

And also put, you know, give my friends who i think are you know talented or talented other uh artists and writers actors you know voices that you know i you know if i have that opportunity to to uh tell a story and give someone an opportunity that's great you know i'd have to imagine there was a point where it was like hey i'm i'm a really good actor i'm not just danny devito like was there a point in your career where it's like oh okay now i feel comfortable like i don't have to not run from it but like i don't have to look over my shoulder being like why are they you know this person just thinks i'm danny devito's daughter i am i moved to new york um like in my early 20s and did theater and lived here for about 12 years because I needed the actual physical distance. I needed to get my sea legs, basically.
And also, Hollywood is like a totally different beast you know like i i grew up in it and i i i'm there now i live in la but um i appreciate uh theater and you know kind of old school acting and i felt like i still needed to have my you know education and experience and i i mean i still like i feel like i always still need that yeah but um you know i did feel like i needed to remove myself and do my own thing and um it was great and you know i've i love new york i love the theater i love i would love to come back and do more stuff and it's got to be awesome now that you guys are at a point where you're working together all the time, and it's got to be very fulfilling as a dad, I'm sure. Yeah, it's cool.
Yeah. Yeah, it's really good.
We have a lot of fun together. We just went to Dorset, Vermont, which is way up there, a little theater up there.
We were up there for four days, and we did a workshop of a play that we're a three-hander that was written by Teresa Reebok and that we're we're hoping to do together some as soon as we get it you know you need to work it you know yeah we did some we've done it twice a workshop just sitting around a table reading the script and so it'd be great to continue working together yeah that's awesome yeah be really good is it more um trying to be a theater actor than it is trying to act on television or in movies yeah i think i think it's uh well i don't know it's a competitive uh it's just it's just a different uh thing you know actors go through like when i was breaking out doing it i was off broadway off off broadway Children's Theater theater uh what do you call it uh summer stock uh worked in you know traveling around doing little plays this whatever you could get and then you get a break like cuckoo's nest was a real big break to go to california and then then three or four years later of just everybody thinking that i was martini i i got taxi so it's like if you're in the right place at the right time and those things kick off then you you know you get very lucky i was really fortunate to be be there and then you have to be ready so like lucy was saying if you you get your chops you know doing theater and doing little things yeah i felt like like um theater uh for me when was younger, it's just more immediate too. Like you can get up and do something with your friends.
And I used to do things like where we would go and do short plays at bars in Brooklyn. You know what I mean? Like we would do that kind of like stuff or just put on a night of one acts here and there, you know? And so like there's something about um that immediacy of it where you're like I just want to get up and do something yeah you know and whereas with tv and film it does take it takes a crew it takes a long time to edit and all that kind of stuff and also when I was starting off like um the internet wasn't what it is now so it and I'm still like not internet savvy so like for me it's like i'm i'm more comfortable being with like what's in the space what can we use here not like how do i project it out into the in like onto youtube right thing right so um getting feedback immediately must be a difference too like if you're if you're in a play you can understand if the audience is feeling it you kind of like get the vibe.
If you're doing television or a movie, you have to wait and then you think that what you just made was good but then you have to wait for the audience. It's also like a community, you know, because you like hang out with the people who were in the show and who were seeing the show afterwards.
So it's like, I mean, I think that I really like that about it. You can have the conversations immediately afterwards.
Yeah, that's great. But now with the internet, it's like there mean I think that I really like that about it you can have the conversations immediately afterwards yeah that's great but now with the internet it's like there's almost too much immediate feedback yeah yeah yeah instantly people won't even watch and they'll be like this sucks you like change up everything that you're doing because like five people tell you right when it comes out that it sucks we did taxi in front of an audience so that was really the best of both.
You know, we did, they shot the show with four cameras. We blocked it.
We did it, rehearsed all week. It was really great.
And then on Friday night, we would shoot the show in front of an audience. So there were 300 people there.
So you got the, you got that feedback, immediate feedback from the audience and you also got it on film. Yeah.
And that was really great. And we had a great director, Jimmy Burroughs, who had this technique where if you were going to blow a joke, like you flub a line and you're about to get to the punchline, he would go like this.
He would stop everything. You know what I mean? So we would just stop it the audience oh yeah wow oh yeah and then back up we well it was like the audience was hip to the fact that it was you know we're taped we're we're filming it we used to shoot on film it wasn't even tape it was these big big cameras and in the in the 70s and 80s and they were hip to the fact that they were watching something that was going to be on television so we break it up sometimes we do a scene over sometimes we'd go back and do whole things over like an act it was like 20 something minutes to show whatever it was but the idea is that we would go back and do so if you were in the middle of a run and you had a punch line and you were getting close to it and you fuck you a word.
Jimmy would go, and then we would go back to the beginning of the run so that we would keep the joke for the audience. And it worked really well.
And that was like a tribute to this guy. Yeah.
Yeah. That's great.
That's really smart. Yeah.
So we were talking to you guys before. We are a sports podcast.
I only have one sports question have one sports question go for you guys are in the you know theater world actor world you know doing different movies tv shows do you guys watch any sports yeah uh okay i well i i usually watch basketball when it gets to like playoffs hell yeah yeah do you like lebron sure i mean i don't know like i honestly i mean because he's on the lakers now yeah yeah so i guess i'm an la girl so i kind of he's i have to like yeah you know what i mean but it's it's always fascinating to us because our life is sports so we like talking to people who don't, you know, they're not watching, you know, the NFL starts tonight and we've just been excited all day. Like that kind of thing where it's like on a Sunday, you guys, Sunday, you just live your life.
Yeah, totally. You're an alien to us.
Can you unpack that a little bit? Like what do you do? Just setting up a hypothetical situation. It's October 17th.
It's a Sunday. It's 52 degrees outside.
Sunny. You have all day.
What do you do? It's been so many years since you guys have had a Sunday. What do you do? It's just like what you do.
I mean, you could do so many things. You could go to a museum.
You could. You could.
No. No.
I like museums. Sell us on not watching football.
Museum's not a great selling point. Oh, go to the beach.
Okay. October.
October. Oh, but we're in LA.
Okay. You know, you go out to the beach.
You get some Malibu seafood. You sit out by the thing.
Do you look, do you see when you go get the Malibu seafood, is there like a game you're like oh i wonder what that is i don't know this is i don't know i i that's not part i i don't yeah like when we talk to people like you it's like we're going to like uh south america and finding a tribe that like doesn't you know interact with our world you know yeah so like on a normal sunday what do you call that yeah it's a fork yeah On a Sunday, do you ever run into just like groups of men that are dressed similar and they're drunk and angry? Yeah, but I avoid Midtown. That's our tribe.
I avoid Midtown. Okay, so you avoid our tribe.
We avoid your... We're like that Sentinelese Island that's off the coast of India right there.
You're going to canoe out in that red shirt. You're going to bring some wampum babies.
I don't dislike sports. I just don't know them that way.
We used to always go, once in a while, we'd go to a game. Basketball game, baseball game.
I don't know NFL, honestly. But actually, my brother-in-law, he's from Georgia.
Oh, that's a culture shock. He likes the dogs.
Yeah. Go dogs.
Go dogs. Yeah, they just won the national championship.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's pretty good.
Yeah, and I'm like into like, I actually, a friend of mine and I have been toying with this. We're going to do a show actually, a show that we're trying to put together and it's called Game 7 now you have our interest best two words in sports they perked up they were sleeping before everything has been boring up until now that side of the room was like wilting a little bit he's not going to listen, oh.
He's not going to listen to all this acting bullshit. It could be a black and white French song with subtitles.
Game seven. But you call it game seven.
I'm like, I'm in. I'll read all those titles.
So it's about that moment, you know, that thing. A game seven moment that just before, you know, how do you prepare for it? There's so many of them.
And I remember mine. I had a Game 7.
I'm not a sports guy. I do watch it.
I watch all the various sports once in a while when there's a playoff, like Lucy was talking about. And that's when I'm a sports fan.
I like the World Series. I like all that stuff.
But my Game 7 was this. Everybody has them.
We have a lot of them. We just think of them only as sports things.
But my game seven was the day that we were going to do the pilot for Taxi. It was like there was so much anticipation for this.
I mean, this was big, man. Because this was like, and we worked on it.

We rehearsed.

We had 10 days of rehearsal. We were all going.
We were all, you know, getting tuned, which is what it is. And Jim Brooks, who is one of the producers, sent me a little creepy little plant, right? And on it, it had a card.
and said, Dear Danny,

as Louis De Palma would say,

if you don't do good tonight you'll be eating shit tomorrow that's game seven you know what i mean we've yeah i'm just going back through my life i've had several yeah you've had a lot of games. Yeah.
That's a great way to think about it. Yeah.
Everyone has Game 7s. So we're planning a show right now that we're going to do.

Um, Danny, do you know that I assume you do know this, but there was a change.org for you to be the next Wolverine. Oh yeah.
I heard. Yes.
It has, it has a 61,000 signatures. Holy shit.
Um, they, the, the, uh, entire campaign was Hugh Jackman, obviously retired from being Wolverine. Right.
There's only one man to fill that role. It is Danny DeVito.
Should I? Well, the reasoning is actually there's two reasons. Yes.
They only had two, but they said Danny DeVito's height is a lot closer to the comic book's portrayal of Wolverine. Right.
There you go. So Wolverine in the comic book is 5'3".
Great. And secondly, we all saw Danny's portrayal of the trash man so we know he's fully capable of fighting and he's not afraid to get things dirty.
Oh, I'm not freaking dirty. Yeah, so you're Wolverine.
I am pumped, baby. No, I'm like...
You're talking to the next Wolverine. Holy shit.
This is the next Wolverine. I mean, that's the only thing that you haven't accomplished, right? No, I'm going to do it.
I'll do it. Is it Marvel? Is Wolverine Marvel? Yeah, one of those.
Let's go for it, man. Get those fans to get me the job.
I pulled it up. It's 2019.
It was created, but if you pull it up, people are still signing it as of three hours ago. Oh, wow.
Let's do it. It said that they needed to get 75,000 signatures.
I think Hollywood just has to do it. They're going to do it.
75,000. That's all they got to do, right? That's how you got your first role.
That's exactly how I got it. 75,000 signatures i think hollywood just has to do it they're gonna do it 75,000 that's all they gotta do right that's how you got your first role that's exactly how i got it 75,000 signatures yep boom it's that easy but uh thank you guys this has been really really fun yep lucy and danny devito uh we appreciate it go watch little demon on fxx on thursday nights and on hulu the next day appreciate it guys thank guys.
Thank you so much. Thanks, guys.
Okay, let's wrap up again. This show has been taken over by DAZN.
I'm in Vegas right now, DAZN.com. By the fight, you'll hear us on the broadcast, Canelo Triple G.
It's going to be a great night. Hank, your Fyre Fest.
Wednesday's show, and I don't, you know, know it is what it is it's more just like I you guys use Twitter more than I do you guys take it a little more seriously than I do I just like to like spit off hot takes but then sometimes I get trapped I get in these fucking arguments with people and I get pissed off even though I know like Twitter is not real life and it's the dumbest shit ever. But it's healthy every now and then to just spout off.
I was spouting. So the Seahawks take, which was correct, and the Andrew Luck take, which was correct.
I've had people fucking bitching and complaining. DMs and then they're reaching out like they're going on my Instagram DMs.
They're going on every single way they can reach out to be like, you're a fucking idiot. Andrew Luck was great even though he was 4-4 in the playoffs.
And then they're like, oh, it's offensive line. It's offensive line.
They had a great offensive line, and he quit. Yeah, okay.
And so my fire fest is just that I've gotten too emotionally invested in these really dumb arguments that no one can be right or wrong, and everyone's got an opinion one way or the other, so it really doesn't matter. But Andrew Luck bust, Seahawks, bad sports town.
Fact, game over, end debate. I think the Andrew Luck take is reasonable to say that he didn't deliver on what people thought he was going to be.
But at the same time, with the Seattle take, I think what people got really mad about is when you said, like, you deserve to lose the Sonics. Yeah, that was a bad joke.
Because the Sonics, like, just straight up, they left. They fucked over the city of Seattle.
And that's a wound that is still, like, very, very fresh. But, yeah, I admire the strong takes, Hank.
Yeah. If Andrew Luck got drafted to the Commanders and the Bears and went 4-4 in the playoffs, never even went to a Super Bowl.
I'd love him forever. I'd love him forever.
I'd love him forever. Yeah.
Build a statue, tear down the Washington Monument, and just put a statue of his giant head. I just, the people that are, like, making excuses for him disgust me.
I would make all the excuses for him under the hypothetical you just threw out there. Yeah, that'd be amazing.
Win four playoff games. Hank, the last time the the commanders won a playoff game was 2005 and we scored one offensive touchdown so bears won one in 2010 then lost to the packers in the nfc championship game so yeah it's been a while yeah i mean i guess i'm talking talking to the fucking you're marking up the wrong tree buddy mark brunel had 52 yards passing in a playoff victory.

That's the highlight of my career as a Commanders fan.

Do you understand that?

Even knowing that Andrew Luck retired early,

I'd suck your dick to have Andrew Luck as my quarterback retroactively,

even knowing he's retired, to have had that for a few years.

I'd let him spit it into my mouth.

I mean, that's just fine.

Also, on the Twitter thing, I don't like when people are like, oh, you're triggered if you reply you should reply every now and then it's fun to reply it's fun to set people straight getting pointless arguments that's what's the point of twitter if you're not going to do that there is no point of twitter there is no point exactly but like replying is not should not be frowned upon no i think the people they're like big time media people who never reply they're way worse because they're basically like i'm not going to get in the mud ever except for skip bayless it's not even the mud i just like i i take it i usually don't take it seriously at all and then yesterday i'm like replying giving honest replies and then everyone's being like you're a fucking idiot this is wrong it's like no you're wrong and it's like wait no this is never getting settled yeah but i was right there's no winner of this debate no Besides me. Besides you.
Yeah, you did win. Okay, PFT.
My Firefest of the week is that I let Billy Football inject chemicals into my body. Yeah.
Like, not as a joke. I guess it was as a joke, but the second it goes into your body, it's impossible to get, ironically, given medicine into your bloodstream.
Correct. So your body's not like, your body can't be like, oh, this is just a prank.
What does it inject? Research chemicals. What does that mean, though? They're researching them still.
Explaining it out loud makes me feel like the world's biggest moron, because I actually did let Billy inject me with unproven medicine to try to fix my arm. It's peptide.
Whatever it is, Billy was so incompetent when it came to the preparation and injection of these chemicals. I had probably 50 times when it was a giant red blinking sign saying, Stop.
Stop. Turn around.
Do not let Billy do this. And I kept powering through it.
It's going to be on PMTV, which I think comes out tonight. But no, Thursday.
Thursday night. It will be out by the time this releases.
But Billy filled up these syringes, and he just started to laugh, and he got a case of the giggles. You never want your doctor to have a case of the giggles as he's about to inject you.
And then he starts doing the thing. You know how you see in ER and shows shows on TV where they flick the vial.
Yeah, yeah. To get the bubbles to go to the top to get rid of the air bubbles.
Billy's holding the syringe upside down and flicking the vials. Oh, my God.
And I have to stop him and tell him like what to do. And then I put my arm out and Billy took an actual hypodermic needle, put it into my skin.

Insulin needle.

Insulin needle.

And injected chemicals that are God knows what. You're a psycho.
And then afterwards, I sat there for like 15 minutes, just seriously reevaluating all the choices that I've made to lead myself to that place in life. Yep.
And also just kind of thinking through worst case scenarios of things that could happen to me because I let Billy football and check me with medicine that he basically invented have you noticed any side effects um I was in your head I was pretty strong at the I did go to the work to the gym to work out yesterday um just to test it out and I think I I think they might have worked., yeah, I was going to say, Loki, I think it worked. I saved you from surgery.
The biggest question is when's the next injection? It's never going to happen. What? It's never going to happen.
I mean, you have to stay on the cycle. No, it's never going to happen.
No, it's just, I mean, it's still a tune-up. Okay.
I just tune-up. But what if he needs another tune-up? You got to put oil in your car.
Billy was more nervous before than I was. After it happened, I'm a million times more regretful of it than Billy.
Are you scared that this stuff hasn't been researched? Yes. That's one of many reasons why I'm scared.
I'm also scared of myself. Yeah, your own decision-making.
Yes. That made me very scared of scared of myself.
Like, just two days ago, I thought it was a good idea to let, of all people. Should I tell? Billy Football.
What? Should. So you know how it came with.
What? Or should I let him? What? You know how it came with two vials? Yeah. Well, because it's a research chemical, they give you two vials and one's placebo.

Okay.

You got them with the placebo?

You got saline.

Oh.

Okay.

So I still let Billy...

First of all, you're lying.

Now he needs to get the real one, though.

Yeah, first of all, Billy's lying about this.

And second of all, I still let Billy...

Hank seems to be in the know.

I'm not.

Why do they send you two vials?

Because research. Research.
One's the placebo. He actually put the real one in me, and I'm super strong.
How do you know which one's the placebo, though? Because it came with directions. Did you see the charge on your card? You asked me to cash up some Mexican pharmaceutical provider.
Again, this entire thing has been a laundry list of terrible decisions that I've made. But now you have to get the real one.
Billy basically took the good stuff for himself and then gave you water. I don't even know if this is true or not, and frankly, I don't care.
I'm not afraid of what's in my body. I'm afraid of the fact that I let Billy do this, and I thought it was a good idea to have Billy put medicine on my body.
I don't care what was in my body. It was, whatever it was, was a series of maybe the worst decisions I've ever made in my life.
Yeah. So I'd like to announce that I'm quitting cold turkey, letting Billy inject me with various liquids.
I mean, that's a hard fire for us to beat. My fire for us was just my game of the year debacle, and I still haven't really recovered sleep-wise because I slept about four hours on Saturday night, and I went 0-7 on Sunday.
But you know what? It's early. It's early in the season.
Only way to go but up, right? Now, would you have made it your game of the year if Lizzie hadn't died? No, I just added her on. I would not have made it my game of the year if I had known both the BYU's top receivers were out.
That was a mistake. But I'm no coward.
Yep. I don't fucking back down.
Puka was out. Yeah.
Tom Petty. We're not backing down.
Never. And Romney.
That was his thing? Romney is... No, Romney's grandson is on the team.
He was one of the wide receivers out. No shit.
Yeah, he's actually really good. Romney was out? Yeah.
Romney's an awesome son. I can't remember what his first name is.
It's like probably Scout or something. Yeah, I actually think it would be, that's probably the name of like seven of Sam Ponder's kids.
Oh, yeah. Whoa.
Gunner. This is wild.
Gunner Romney. Oh, it's not Baylor? No, it's Gunner Romney.
He's got a kid named Baylor Romney. Gunner Romney is the wide receiver who's actually pretty good.
Baylor is done with football. We should have guessed Gunnar.
But that would have been wild. Gunnar is definitely.
If Baylor was playing against Baylor. Like Tripper would have been another one.
I wonder if he's – I don't know if he's his son or his – it must be his grandson. It must be grandson.
Yeah, grandson. How awesome would it be if there was an incredible wide receiver in the NFL named Romney and also the most dominant center in the NBA was Barron Trump? Yeah.
Yeah. Barron and Bronny.
That'd be so funny. The greatest setup ever.
Okay. Billy? My first Fyre Fest is that it turns out High Point is in North Carolina, not Virginia.
Everyone got super mad. I didn't correct you on that because I was just letting you cook.

They're right next to each other.

That's not something people get mad about.

That's not true.

It's in Greensboro, I think.

High Point did beat UVA at La Crosse a couple years ago,

and it was a really big deal.

Where were you?

Oh, you're going on Sunday, right?

Next Sunday.

No, this Sunday.

You're going this Sunday.

Oh, yes.

Actually, I have a shirt for you that should be arriving hopefully tomorrow, so you've got to look out for it. It's a purple shirt that just says owners, and it's just a picture of me, PFT, and Hank.
So I want you to wear that to accept the trophy. So Billy's going to go to the Water Dogs game.
He'll be back for Sunday night, and he'll be able to give us a live report of how it went. Yes.
Can you bring the trophy back? I'm going to take it. I'm going to be like, hey, no, no, no.
This comes with me. Yeah, listen, we paid for this.
So make sure you get that shirt because it's probably coming to the office. I mean, that's the most iconic moment in sports when the commissioner hands the trophy to the owner before the players get to touch it.
Billy, they hand you that trophy, then you just go full heel on it. You're like, who put this all together? Look at it right here.
Jake might also be coming. Great.
Not sure, but it should be a great time. So let's go water dogs.
Don't disappoint us. Or do, we don't care.
And then I burnt myself making salmon. Oh, that's tough.
Where? It was like a pan. Where did you burn yourself? In the kitchen? Is that what you're saying? Your foot? The whole thing of salmon fell on my foot.
It was a Michael Scott injury? You're going to say your hand. Your foot.
There's no way that a salmon was hot enough. No, you're saying the actual...
So I put on my gloves. I was taking the pan out of the oven, and then I put it on the freaking stovetop, and then it fell, and one of the pieces of salmon fell on my foot.
Oh, the salmon actually burned. Yeah, the salmon.
So it is a Michael Scott. You got burned by a fish.
Yeah. That's tough.
And you have to eat salmon because you can't eat red meat. I've been cutting back.
Wow. Yeah, that is rough, Billy.
That's brutal. I'm sorry.
Salmon's good.. Should have been wearing your...
Tuna's the beef of the sea. Salmon's the...
Chicken of the sea. Tuna's the chicken of the sea.
Tuna's the beef of the sea. I like that.
It's literally on the can. It's red.
It's red. It's on the can.
It's on the can. The beef of the sea.
I like that. It's the beef of the sea.
Or the Jessica Simpson one. Yeah.
The chicken of the sea. Is it chicken or is it fish? That's shrimp.
Yeah. Right? Bubba Gump? Bubba Gump is shrimp, yeah.
The tuna cans literally say chicken to the sea. Were you cooking barefoot? Yeah, I was cooking barefoot because I worked out.
Barefoot and pregnant. That's the Billy football way.
In the kitchen. Dance on a Saturday night.
All right, Jake, finish this off. Yeah, so I love Roback.
Me and Billy are rocking my Roback, and I lost one of my favorite Roback shirts. Oh, no.
Where could we ever find more? It's a blue shirt, but I'm really devastated. What's on it? I wear it like three or four days a week.
I wear Roback three or four days a week. The same shirt? It's just one, but blue.
Okay. If you're watching YouTube.
We'll get you another one. Just because we like you so much, I'm going to get you another Roback shirt.
We're going to make sure that gets you. Luckily, I can use 20% off.
Yes. You will be reimbursing me.
Go take for it, but I will get you another one. But yeah, it's devastating.
That is devastating. That's absolutely devastating.
Okay, let's do numbers. Hank, have you gotten this before? What? The number.
Correct. I don't know.
Live local NFL and CBS game every Sunday, as well as additional exclusive NFL content. Thank you to Paramount Plus sponsoring the Lottery Ball Machine.
Billy? The craziest stat is that the probability of not guessing the number is equivalent to guessing the ball 20 times. That's just not fucking true whatsoever.
Hank, do you want to take 12 for Seattle? No. I'm going to take 12.
Okay. Let's go 12s.
13. 26.
We are going for history here. We have never gotten as a group three in a row.
Oh, wow. We've gotten two twice.
A lot of pressure. 69.
All right, I'll go with... I was just making up fucking stats.
I'll go with 70. It's like getting it 20 times.
79. There's no way that's true.
I'll go with 79 for when the Sonics won the NBA title. Love it.
I'll go with 20. 20.
For the fine people of the Pacific Northwest. Hank, what's your number? 13.
Is 69 in this one? Yes. With the new balls, are we sure? Why? Because it just hasn't come up like once in the 15 times you've done it.
What do we got? What do we got? What do we got? Oh, my God. 32.
I saw the two, and I thought it was going to be a 12. That would have been an all-time.
32. Would you pick, Hank? 13? Oh, that's not 32.
Nope. Not even close to 32.
All right. We'll see everyone on Monday.
Love you guys. 12 would have been so good.
