Speaker 1 Hey, pardon my take, listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.
Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Speaker 3 Man, I'll tell you what, when you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 3 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 3 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this, Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 3 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 6 On today's part of my take, we have Danny and Lucy DeVito in studio. Great interview with the two of them.
We also are going to do all of our picks.

Speaker 6 Learn a lot during the pick segment this week. We have Fantasy Lads.
we have firefest of the week, and of course, Thursday night football. What a game, Amazon Prime.
Welcome to the new age.

Speaker 7 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo. The whole is greater than the sum of its sauce.
Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce, only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 8 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 9 Okay,

Speaker 6 let's go.

Speaker 6 Now in the street, there is violence.

Speaker 6 And then a lot of soft work to be done.

Speaker 6 No place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 6 And then I can't blame all on the sun.

Speaker 6 Oh no, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue.

Speaker 6 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 6 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to

Speaker 9 Part of my take

Speaker 4 presented by Barstakes.

Speaker 6 Welcome to part of my take presented by Dazone Pay-Per-View this Saturday night. Canelo versus 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.

Speaker 6 Today is Friday, September 16th. And Amazon Prime.

Speaker 6 They have done it. What a game.
What a night. Jeff Bezos, our overlord.
He owns us all. He gives us football.
And it was a great game. Chargers, Chiefs.

Speaker 6 PFT, I know that we both bet 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.

Speaker 6 And I was like, why are they interviewing him? And I was like, oh, yeah, the Chiefs won the game. I forgot that part.

Speaker 8 Yeah, because it did feel like an incredible comeback for the Chargers after they gave the game away. And let's be real, like, the the game was over when Justin Herbert threw that pick six.

Speaker 8 And then they marched down the field.

Speaker 8 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, gotten the first down.

Speaker 2 I was ready to motherfuck him.

Speaker 8 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

Speaker 8 the entire city of Los Los Angeles. But you're right, like after that was over, it was so anticlimactic after that point.
It felt like a win for sure.

Speaker 8 The memes about Justin Herbert and the dog, we're getting out of hand with the dog memes. Can I just say that? Like,

Speaker 8 I think the dog memes have reached their apex.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 Um, because Justin Herbert's ribs are really, really fucked up.

Speaker 8 And as our colleague Stephen Shea pointed out, not a great combination historically for team doctors, painkilling shots, and Los Angeles Chargers quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 But I think Justin Herbert,

Speaker 8 he's very, very, very good.

Speaker 2 But I think he's also very, very, very injured right now.

Speaker 6 He's very, very injured. I am

Speaker 6 at this moment, you know, 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.

Speaker 6 I've been smart enough to fade my past self with my current self. So I haven't, it hasn't been that much of a disaster in real life, but 0-11 is impressive.

Speaker 6 But I am ready to give up my role as rib doctor because TJ Hushmanzada,

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 TJ Hushman's on it, burying the lead there. He's broken his ribs 15 times.
How is he still alive? 10 to 15 times.

Speaker 11 It's got to be 15 ribs.

Speaker 9 Yeah,

Speaker 6 10 to 15 times?

Speaker 12 10 to 15?

Speaker 13 Well, it's not that unheard of.

Speaker 8 I've broken my ribs probably six or seven times. No way.
Yeah, swear to God.

Speaker 12 When was the last time?

Speaker 8 Probably 2012?

Speaker 9 Like

Speaker 8 Rib injuries happen very frequently in contact sports.

Speaker 9 It's very common.

Speaker 6 But 15 times is more than six.

Speaker 14 Yes,

Speaker 8 he was definitely like a possession receiver that would get hit in the mid-section line.

Speaker 2 15 times is like,

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 Here's an actual skip Bayless tweet from 8:52 p.m.

Speaker 2 You ready?

Speaker 8 Chiefs trick y'all, man. They don't play no defense

Speaker 15 at Skip Bayless.

Speaker 6 Nice try, Skip. I mean, that was that is, we should talk about the Chiefs.
I, that was a game that the Chiefs.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 Patrick Mahomes, by my count, threw like four interceptions that were either bailed out by flags or guys just blatantly dropping them.

Speaker 6 They didn't look like the better team tonight, but because they are the Chiefs, they found a way to win.

Speaker 6 And Patrick Mahomes still made a couple plays where you're like, yep, 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.

Speaker 6 And that's why the Chiefs, even when they look on a night where they look like they're the 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.

Speaker 6 And Patrick Mahomes, though, he just always keeps you in games, always keeps you around it. And the pick six,

Speaker 6 we know Everett, shout out to Amazon, Kirk Herb Street, and Al Michaels. Like, that's a great duo.

Speaker 6 I know that, like, 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.

Speaker 6 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 thrown.

Speaker 6 And the only thing he's worrying about is picking up his mouth guard.

Speaker 6 That was, yeah, that changed the entire game.

Speaker 6 That was like

Speaker 6 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 a pick six.

Speaker 8 Yeah, 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 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

Speaker 8 he got like halfway through and he's like I'm fucking tired like what do you want me to do I just 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 Everett 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

Speaker 8 I'm going to do this.

Speaker 8 I'm going to say, like, if Justin Herbert's the guy that he's supposed to be, and by the way, the guy that he's supposed to be are just like what other people in the media are saying that he is.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 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?

Speaker 6 But it was so apparent that 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.

Speaker 6 And there was some, I don't know, maybe the media has bullied Brandon Staley. I know that the line of thinking is his defense is now good enough.

Speaker 6 that he doesn't have to take the risks that he once took. And I buy that because the Chargers defense is very good.
And they have like playmakers, you know, Derwin James, JC Jackson, Bosa, and Mac.

Speaker 6 Like they have guys everywhere that are making big plays. And their defense,

Speaker 6 when you think about it, what they held the Chiefs to 20 points on offense.

Speaker 6 Like you, if you, 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.

Speaker 6 So they played well. But Brandon Stanley, there was

Speaker 6 fourth and two at KC 47, punt, fourth and two at KC 48 punt. Fourth and two at the Chargers 33.
That was a punt, but that was a play that

Speaker 6 he would have gone for that last year.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 It's almost like Brandon Staley 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-pill is like the one you say, fuck this.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 I don't like that. I like Brandon Staley a little crazy.

Speaker 8 I don't like it it when he does the thing where he goes for it on fourth and two from like your own 18-yard line like you did one time last year.

Speaker 8 That's a little out of hand, but I like, I think he was right more than he was wrong last year.

Speaker 8 And when you're in the opponent's half, especially if it's against the Chiefs, go for it, roll the dice a little bit. And granted, it should have worked.

Speaker 8 I guess maybe this is like hindsight being 20-20 because I... It might have been the right call.
Their defense was good enough. They made Patrick Mahomes very uncomfortable all night.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 And the more I think about it, the more this Chargers game tonight, this was

Speaker 8 like old school Chargers.

Speaker 6 Oh, it's Chargers.

Speaker 9 It was

Speaker 9 the more things.

Speaker 6 Yeah. They were better.
The more things change, the more they stay the same with the Chargers.

Speaker 8 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 Phillip Rivers slot on that team very nicely.

Speaker 6 Yes, and obviously, Keenan Allen, like you could tell the Chargers weren't able to take deep shot.

Speaker 6 Like, it felt like as the game progressed, the Chargers' play calling and what they were able to do was all within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 6 Like, they hit that big touchdown of Mike Williams in the first half, but after that, I don't, and obviously,

Speaker 6 the throw that Justin Herbert, after not being able to get one yard, throws an absolute laser down the center of the field.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 Um, but we should say in Brandon Saley's defense, there was no, like, he should have, he shouldn't have gone for the touchdown there on fourth down. I thought they were going to kick a field goal.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 You haven't, your first, your first three plays on goal line didn't work. Like, you're going to kick a field goal and then try to get the on-site kick.

Speaker 6 The other part, PFT, Andy Reid was also kind of concerned.

Speaker 6 Like, there was a couple of times where I thought the Chiefs, knowing how maybe this is the Tyreek Hill, like, this is where you miss Tyreek Hill because the Chiefs offense through two weeks.

Speaker 6 has not, it hasn't looked like they've like, oh man, Tyreek Hill, it's so obvious he's not here, but maybe that's where they're going to 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 huh this is weird like usually they just trust mahomes to get two yards you know when they're in the middle of the field 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 they he's a guy that that bails him out and I mean 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 2 I'm talking about

Speaker 8 like jumping routes and stuff. You had JC 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.

Speaker 8 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 desante samuel jr jumping another route i'm like oh god i'm so washed the the um when that happened when he dropped that patrick mahomes 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 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 tyree Hill running 90 yards in three seconds and taking the top off of defense like that.

Speaker 8 Also, shout out to Derwin James for just burying Travis Kelsey.

Speaker 8 That was awesome. That was cool.
That was football, man.

Speaker 9 That puts such a smile on my face.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 9 I was just like, ooh,

Speaker 6 and he thought the ball came out? Yeah, and it was like, that was a man's play.

Speaker 6 It was a great game, though.

Speaker 6 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

Speaker 6 like the chargers are a very talented team they have every their offensive line is 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.

Speaker 6 And they have Patrick Mahomes, who's the best quarterback in the NFL.

Speaker 8 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, I will continue to bet on them.

Speaker 8 I will continue to tell people the Chargers are for real, and they'll continue to lose me games.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 But they do pass my eye test.

Speaker 6 Yeah, and I do think they are for real. It's just, again, the Chiefs,

Speaker 12 I mean, it's Patrick Mahomes and

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 And that was the difference in the game. We should

Speaker 6 mention that, you know, Amazon Prime, everyone had to watch it on streaming.

Speaker 6 Jeff Bezos, I think he ended racism with that photo op at the beginning of the game, where the most awkward handshake I've ever seen.

Speaker 6 He looked like he had never touched another human when he took that picture that was going viral.

Speaker 8 It was taken in the end racism end zone. So I'd say,

Speaker 8 let's not say that Jeff Bezos ended racism because that's

Speaker 8 a little disrespectful to the long history of racism in the United States. I think together, Jeff Bezos and Roger Goodell

Speaker 8 teamed up to end racism officially once and for all tonight.

Speaker 6 It's rare. Usually when they show an 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.

Speaker 6 Like, that would be fucking cool to, to clean his glasses for him and just sit and watch a Cowboys game.

Speaker 6 There's 0.0% of me that would want to be sitting with Jeff Bezos and Roger Goodell during a football week.

Speaker 8 I would say no

Speaker 8 if I was invited to that tweet. I really would.
Unless I had a knife, in which case I would say, yes, please sit me directly behind them.

Speaker 8 But I noticed in the pictures where it was like Jeff Bezos talking to Goodell. And I wanted to make fun of Jeff, and I did a little bit for being like a robot because he is kind of a robot.

Speaker 6 If you've ever seen him laugh, but dude, that handshake, like he, he, I actually think they were like, Jeff, go take a picture with this guy.

Speaker 6 And he's like, how do I, how do I touch someone with hands?

Speaker 6 Uh, okay, here, I'm gonna do this. It was like, this

Speaker 9 he grabbed their wrist.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 8 But when he was up in the booth sitting next to Roger Goodell, he was like telling him jokes and stuff, which I'm sure were real, real funny jokes, real rib ticklers.

Speaker 8 He was leaning in and like smelling them. I think that Jeff Bezos has become like a very

Speaker 8 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 Roderick Dell and like whispering into Goodell's ear.

Speaker 8 I think there might be something there.

Speaker 6 What do you think?

Speaker 6 The jokes probably were like, wait,

Speaker 6 you let your employees take piss breaks? Like shit like that. Like, ha ha, we'll never do that.

Speaker 8 That's probably what they bonded over: is their shared love of piss. Where like Godell is like, yeah, I make them take piss breaks, actually, but then I just collect all of it and I test it.

Speaker 8 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 going to have that man's piss later on tonight.

Speaker 9 And then

Speaker 6 Jeff's like, I don't know.

Speaker 6 I don't think you should let him piss.

Speaker 8 It probably got into a bargain.

Speaker 6 He's like, no, we have to make it. No, it's the opposite.
We make them piss.

Speaker 12 They probably just bond over that.

Speaker 8 Yeah, like a big debate about piss i'm i'm curious because uh billy i wanted to get your feedback on this um 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 uh performance enhancing drugs do we think that jeff bezos is on

Speaker 6 he's definitely on the creme de la creme hgh and trt

Speaker 20 and probably like some peptides as well to deal with injuries.

Speaker 6 The vascularity is up there with trt he's basically on the best of the best stuff that money can buy he 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

Speaker 6 they they finally figured it like we you're locked into amazon like you can't do anything, you can't change the channel when you're watching Amazon Prime Thursday night football.

Speaker 6 And they could just run.

Speaker 6 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?

Speaker 8 Yeah, we were talking about that tonight. Like, what are we going to do on a Thursday night where there's a big college football game on? You can't switch back and forth.
It's not easy to do.

Speaker 2 You have to take your remote out and then go back to the other input.

Speaker 8 Who has time for all that?

Speaker 21 And

Speaker 8 it's genius on their part. If you you notice that half the commercials they were running were for Amazon Prime itself, of course.

Speaker 8 It's like we're watching commercials for Amazon while we're watching Amazon. Yeah, he owns us.

Speaker 8 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 them tomorrow.

Speaker 2 He probably will.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 And all the commercials will be for the the streaming service that we're watching the football games on.

Speaker 6 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 Irv.

Speaker 10 Please turn it on, Kyrie.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 6 Yes. Where you stay, Jake?

Speaker 24 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

Speaker 24 on Amazon Prime, which we watched.

Speaker 8 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?

Speaker 8 And we're like, dude, Jake, they're drawing drawing pictures of andy reed using ketchup and mustard i don't think that they did any research on how to pronounce client edwards ilair'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 in to marcus ware and he lifted one of the guys and took a seat oh it was so disrespectful to marcus 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 it was a real hoot damn damn i'm sorry i missed it it was cool um it was anything else not

Speaker 9 cool yeah the only other thing i had on the game was uh

Speaker 6 i i this is a very minor thing but client edwards zolaire doing the run where he just had it fully wrapped up was fucking awesome

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 What are you going to do?

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 2 Shout out Chase Daniel. Chase Daniel got into the game.

Speaker 22 Yes.

Speaker 9 Awesome handoff.

Speaker 8 Perfect handoff for Chase Daniel. That's why he's on your team.
That's why he's the perfect backup.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 6 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

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 So double revenge for him. He did win that game, but it was nice to see him back out there.

Speaker 6 It brought back memories of it was that 2007

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 9 Everything.

Speaker 8 You know what I'll do sometimes if I'm bored and it's the football offseason?

Speaker 8 I'll go on YouTube and I'll just watch like 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.

Speaker 8 That was awesome. Oh, yeah, I remember that.
That was awesome, too.

Speaker 2 Holy shit, what a year.

Speaker 8 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?

Speaker 8 I wish that there was a way to know that we were in the good old days as they were happening.

Speaker 6 Yes. Chase Daniel in that game, 40 for 49, 361 yards, three TDs.

Speaker 8 Incredible. Incredible.
So somebody sent me some stats about Chase Daniel. I don't have them in front of me right now.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 25 I don't know what it is.

Speaker 8 Like, is there anything about being a great backup that would make you healthier as a starter? Or I don't know because it doesn't make any sense mathematically.

Speaker 6 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, Chase Daniel, he's good. You said he was good.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 And let's hope he's not injured for very long because Justin Herbert is now, there are a couple of times where he makes throws. I'm like, what is he doing?

Speaker 6 Because he'll like, he does the 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.

Speaker 6 Yeah. You'll be like, holy fuck, this guy, it's it's insane watching him make some of these throws.

Speaker 6 That throw he made after basically almost dying on the field, it looked like he was about to die because he just gave up on,

Speaker 6 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 out of this world.

Speaker 8 There are certain matchups that I think we should be entitled to see more than twice a year.

Speaker 8 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 game four times a year.

Speaker 8 They need to schedule each game. I don't know how it would be possible to do like flex scheduling, to just have sweet teams play each other more frequently.

Speaker 8 But if Jeff Bezos truly wants to take over my brain, if he figures out how to do that, I will submit to him.

Speaker 6 It should be easy. It's 17-game season now.
There's an extra game.

Speaker 6 Why not make one week the funnest week possible? Yes. Just the best possible matchups, the funnest games that we could conjure up in our brains.
Maybe do a fan vote

Speaker 6 of what the game should be. And And I'm saying, like, both sides, like, the,

Speaker 6 like, the Jets and the Jaguars should play in that extra game. You know what I mean? Like, we should just come up with the best.
The Steelers and Ravens always play in that extra game.

Speaker 6 Like, 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.

Speaker 9 Yep.

Speaker 8 Texans play against Alabama.

Speaker 9 Done.

Speaker 2 Done. I fucking love that.

Speaker 6 Alabama by 40.

Speaker 9 One of her best ideas yet.

Speaker 8 I do have one gripe about the broadcast.

Speaker 9 I don't know if you noticed this.

Speaker 8 They changed the down a little bit too fast. Like the ball hits the ground on an incomplete pass and immediately goes from second to third down.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 6 Yeah, because if it happens so fast, you get confused on what down it actually is because you look down and you're like, wait, was that third down or second down?

Speaker 6 And I finally figured it out, but I'm actually kind of convinced.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 It took a minute for me to be like, wait, oh, that's where they are.

Speaker 9 Brandon Staley reading Brandon Staley.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 8 I think that's a good theory. I actually, I didn't notice Andy Reid on the broadcast that much tonight.

Speaker 6 Yeah, they're trying to box him out. Maybe Jeff Bezos hates fat people.
probably, yeah, yeah, he definitely hates fat people.

Speaker 8 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, Andy.
This is way more healthy for you. You're going to love this.

Speaker 6 I'm pretty confident saying Jeff Bezos hates fat people, he hates poor people, he hates people who have like weak bladders, he hates people that he's married to.

Speaker 6 Yeah, there's a lot of people that Jeff Bezos finds disgusting.

Speaker 9 That's a fact.

Speaker 8 I'm happy to be one of them.

Speaker 6 Yeah, should we kick kick it to ourselves?

Speaker 6 We've got some great show coming up. Danny and Lucy DeVito and a weekend preview, which we threw out some stats that you won't hear anywhere else.
And we'll finish up with Firefest.

Speaker 6 So let's kick it back to ourselves in studio. Make sure you buy that fight, disowned, pay-per-view Saturday night.

Speaker 1 Before we get to the weekend preview.

Speaker 8 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes Game Day Entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 9 Okay,

Speaker 1 Weekend preview.

Speaker 14 We are, we're, we're, we will officially have a punishment next week.

Speaker 1 We kind of, I don't know what happened. We just, it got lost.

Speaker 8 We got lost. We punted on it this week.

Speaker 9 Yeah. It got lost.

Speaker 8 Life got in the way.

Speaker 1 Well, we were, we were, we, you know, we were getting used to, we're getting used to being back in rhythm.

Speaker 8 I'm still mourning.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Lizzie's in a box.

Speaker 8 Yeah. Until they, until they put her old bitch ass in the ground, I'm not coming up with.
I mean,

Speaker 1 is she not buried yet?

Speaker 8 I don't think so. I think, like, when

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 But we did, in fairness to us, we did come up with a punishment for ourselves if we won a Super Bowl last weekend.

Speaker 10 So we're going to get shot every day.

Speaker 9 So one punishment a week.

Speaker 8 Yeah, everyone on this podcast will get shot except for Jake, who's a P-word.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, and also Hank, because he has a ton of Super Bowls. And let's be honest, his

Speaker 8 team stinks.

Speaker 28 It's not undefined.

Speaker 9 I absolutely thought I would get you.

Speaker 1 Oh, you would? Oh, yeah, by BB Gun. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Yeah, but I know.

Speaker 8 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 Let's be realistic.

Speaker 8 You're a fan of the Patriots. They're not winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 8 One of teams like the Bears and the Commanders.

Speaker 25 Now, we got a chance.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 15 Week two.

Speaker 5 Do we want the standings first?

Speaker 1 Yeah, let's get the standings.

Speaker 9 Good call, John. I also think

Speaker 11 we should do something for the winner this year.

Speaker 16 Okay.

Speaker 11 I don't think I'm getting any credit for winning last year.

Speaker 2 Okay, how about the winner?

Speaker 17 Good job, Hank.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so you just want a retroactive conventional.

Speaker 9 I want like a trophy, yeah.

Speaker 8 All right, winner gets a cat, and it is retroactive to last year.

Speaker 26 Perfect.

Speaker 1 And then that, and whoever wins it gets the cat.

Speaker 26 So you pass the cat on.

Speaker 1 So that would be perfect. So you get it for the next six months.
You'll be really sad. Just enough time to fall in love.

Speaker 1 Okay, Jake, yeah, Stannings. Bad week for us.

Speaker 2 Very mediocre week.

Speaker 24 Owen, six on favorites, and we had six different favorites.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's not mediocre.

Speaker 9 That's bad. Well, overall, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 24 Hank and Billy, two and two, me and Big Cat, one and three, PFT and Max, Owen.

Speaker 8 Okay, so again, like, I don't know if you're familiar with the term mediocre, yeah, but that's that's a very bad term.

Speaker 9 That's bad. I was putting it no one went over 500.
No, okay, that's

Speaker 9 terrible, uh, disgusting.

Speaker 23 Yes, yes, absolutely.

Speaker 1 You can't get worse.

Speaker 24 I think worse than any other week we've had last year.

Speaker 1 Maybe. You can't get worse than that because

Speaker 1 there were picks that were against each other, so someone had to win.

Speaker 9 Right.

Speaker 1 Like, that's about as low as we can be as a combined podcast.

Speaker 9 Yeah, pretty bad.

Speaker 24 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.

Speaker 8 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 it because he was like, oh, yeah, it's the Falcons.

Speaker 8 Let's bet against the Falcons. And it's Jameis.
And it's Jameis. So, yeah, it was bad.
It was a really bad week, but you know what? Can't get any worse.

Speaker 9 It's listen.

Speaker 1 Every year is the same way where like September, you think you know what you're talking about and you don't.

Speaker 1 And then you got to, and then you got to build up the confidence to think you know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 And then Bloody Sunday will always come, that one Sunday every single year where like every underdog wins outright, and then you don't know what you're talking about again.

Speaker 8 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 was outstaffed. I think I went like 11-1 doing.

Speaker 15 Fade yourself.

Speaker 2 I got to just switch my mindset on that.

Speaker 1 Fade yourself.

Speaker 1 Okay, so let's do it. Let's talk.
Let's do some picks and talk about each game. And we also owe everyone a Mount Rushmore bet, which we got to try to win eventually.

Speaker 1 I think PFT and I both failed to have our running backs.

Speaker 12 Dean just went 50 yards first.

Speaker 9 It was tough.

Speaker 1 It was tough because PFT sat down on Sunday and was like, yeah, we got to pick, like, we got to put more thought into it. Or whoever picked DeAndre Swift.
And I agreed with him.

Speaker 1 I was like, yeah, who picked DeAndre Swift? And then me and PFT's running backs didn't hit 50 yards.

Speaker 8 And then on the very first carry of the game, DeAndre Swift had a 51-yard run.

Speaker 9 Like, we don't know shit.

Speaker 1 We don't know anything. Here's the thing.

Speaker 8 If you're trying to find a podcast that knows what they're talking about, then you should immediately change the channel.

Speaker 9 Yes.

Speaker 8 That's not why you listen to us.

Speaker 8 If you actually listen to us to get legitimate gambling tips, then you're dumber than we are.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 9 Or to talk about God. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Quick Jesus Minute.

Speaker 9 Go.

Speaker 8 What are you thankful for this weekend?

Speaker 8 Not going to church because I get to watch NFL football.

Speaker 1 There we go.

Speaker 1 Okay, so let's get into the picks. Max, you okay?

Speaker 8 We got a the producers Max is a big Catholic, so

Speaker 9 you got camera issues. You got camera issues.

Speaker 26 You got camera issues.

Speaker 11 My camera is being wonky.

Speaker 9 Oh, okay. Don't worry about it.
Yeah,

Speaker 9 we weren't.

Speaker 26 Well, you stopped the show.

Speaker 9 Well, no, he just did it.

Speaker 1 He did this, so I was like...

Speaker 9 I'll give him a thumbs up because it was good, and then I saw him moving, and then it went out.

Speaker 8 We're going to lose our female audience on YouTube if we can't get the camera on hand.

Speaker 9 Yeah, we got to get this.

Speaker 1 By the way, for Monday.

Speaker 16 1% audience. Yeah,

Speaker 9 maybe less.

Speaker 1 Oh, I looked at it the other day. It was very funny.
I looked at my

Speaker 1 Instagram and it was 9%

Speaker 9 female. That's actually more.
I think that's more than that. I'm crushing it.
It's like 6.

Speaker 8 I think mine, last time I checked, it was like a year and a half ago. I think mine was lower than that.
I think mine was 8.

Speaker 1 I'm huge with the chicks. 9%.

Speaker 22 1%. Yes.

Speaker 9 Hell yeah, billionaires.

Speaker 9 Fuck, yes, bro. Dude, totally.
Yes.

Speaker 1 You're like a fucking secret clubhouse.

Speaker 1 All right. Yeah, Monday.
By the way, Monday's podcast. We're going to try, we're going to attempt to record

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 8 What if you just won, though?

Speaker 8 What if you won and it was recording live and you're just like freaking out so happy, you're crying tears of joy.

Speaker 1 It would be,

Speaker 1 it would,

Speaker 8 Rodgers would be dead. So I was looking at the line and you do have,

Speaker 1 I like the position you're in.

Speaker 14 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Because 10 points is so many points.

Speaker 1 So many points.

Speaker 8 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 just be like, well, good inside the number.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 25 Because he beats us by a billion.

Speaker 8 He hates his wide receivers.

Speaker 9 Yeah, he does. He hates them.

Speaker 1 He does. All right, let's start.
Hank, favorite, favorite. And then we'll talk about the games.
Hank just spilled his coffee.

Speaker 9 It's a disaster.

Speaker 11 It's early.

Speaker 2 It is the earliest we've ever recorded.

Speaker 1 I do have to go to Vegas, so I apologize. We had to record early.

Speaker 1 It's the 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.

Speaker 1 And then I realized I can't watch the game in the air because it's fucking NFL Prime.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 And you get like better Wi-Fi than any of the Google Fiber neighborhoods have.

Speaker 8 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 second.

Speaker 1 It makes no sense that planes don't have good Wi-Fi. It's like we have not, we, we, Wi-Fi was closer to the satellite.
Right. And Wi-Fi was introduced 10, what, 10 years ago maybe on planes?

Speaker 9 Ish? Maybe

Speaker 1 it's longer than that. We have not gotten better whatsoever.

Speaker 8 I'm just saying, like, Boeing, if you're out there, just, you know, forget the software updates and all that, but they don't work anyways. Right.
Just go out, get a contract with Fios. P.
Heros.

Speaker 8 And let's just load up with like the.

Speaker 8 I want Wi-Fi to.

Speaker 8 The router should be so heavy that the plane is actually in danger of crashing at all times.

Speaker 11 It should hardwire from the satellite. Yes.

Speaker 9 They should just have a big fucking rope that goes down, that goes up to the satellite.

Speaker 11 Speaking of makes no sense, this Denver Broncos minus 10 makes no sense to me, and therefore I'm going to take it.

Speaker 1 I can't remember the exact stat, but

Speaker 1 I remember it reading about it.

Speaker 23 The Broncos

Speaker 16 against the Texans. Yeah, against the Texans.

Speaker 15 The Broncos

Speaker 25 in September at home

Speaker 5 are covering machines.

Speaker 11 Yeah, they tied.

Speaker 1 They are 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.

Speaker 10 Now, I mean, Houston

Speaker 9 heat as well.

Speaker 16 But I'm still taking it.

Speaker 13 I hate it also.

Speaker 1 And not altitude.

Speaker 8 Yeah, so Hank just kind of did the thing that I think a lot of people out there are doing, which is they assumed that the Texans won in week one because they didn't lose. Right.

Speaker 8 And everybody was like, the Texans are definitely going to lose in week one.

Speaker 2 Not the case.

Speaker 8 So now I think everybody's overvaluing the Texans.

Speaker 19 And I don't know.

Speaker 8 I hate it too, Hank. But I understand your thought process that you hate it so much that you love it.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
Hanks on the board. Yeah, this game, I do think the Broncos,

Speaker 1 this is just, I mean, they can't be as bad as that.

Speaker 28 They did, obviously, the goal line should happen.

Speaker 11 They did dominate the Seahawks, kind of.

Speaker 1 Yes, no, that was the thing. Geno Smith, we talked about it on Wednesday's show.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 8 And it's a weird game with Russ going back to Seattle and all the emotion that was involved in it.

Speaker 8 I don't think you can base anything about the Broncos on what happened week one because of that and the goal line fumbles.

Speaker 11 Yep. I don't know, though.
Again, recurring guests of the show appreciate him coming on, but

Speaker 11 like that's got to be, he's got to be rattled.

Speaker 16 Russ? I don't think.

Speaker 9 No, Hackett. Oh, Hackett.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 Well, I appreciate what Hackett said.

Speaker 9 He was like, you can't.

Speaker 11 You can say he's not rattled, but.

Speaker 9 He went in front of the media and he goes,

Speaker 8 he goes, yeah, I fucked it up.

Speaker 8 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?

Speaker 2 Keep lying about it?

Speaker 1 I just, he definitely has a little like, uh-oh.

Speaker 9 Yeah. Yeah.
There has to be a little of that.

Speaker 16 Like, it's like

Speaker 11 you start overthinking because you're like, all right, you know, I can't fuck it up. But then there's so many things you have to think about not fucking up that.

Speaker 1 I think he'll be okay long term, but

Speaker 9 he's not the worst way to say that.

Speaker 13 There's no way he's in his

Speaker 1 100% confident mindset right now.

Speaker 9 Right.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Max, your favorite?

Speaker 29 Giants minus two against the Panthers.

Speaker 29 Weird line movement in that game.

Speaker 30 They started off as the Panthers started off as favorites in the Barcelona Sportsbook, and now it's three-point line change.

Speaker 29 I don't know. It's a weird game, but I like the Giants minus two.

Speaker 1 I'm also, I'm definitely buying what Brian Dable's selling, even though it's been one game.

Speaker 29 Yeah, I also am friends with a lot of Giants fans, and

Speaker 29 as an Eagles fan, I'm a little worried about them, and it's probably me just being dumb, but the Giants might be coming.

Speaker 8 Daniel Jones, you should not be worried about this. Just remind yourself, it's, yeah,

Speaker 8 Daniel Jones is quarterback. And he did look,

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 The one thing I'm worried about: the Panthers, I think the Panthers might just stink, but

Speaker 1 will Baker have a better game because all the pressure is now off? Like, that was a lot of pressure for him, week one, similar to Russ.

Speaker 11 And the Browns' defense is really good.

Speaker 9 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 PFT.

Speaker 8 My favorite, I'm taking the Raiders. Ooh.
Minus five and a half. It's a lot of points against Pinkie Ball against the Cardinals.
I'm taking the Raiders in this one because

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 And it's a limited release. Shout out to Imrax, who gave me that intel.
It's a limited release.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 So I'm thinking that Kyler is going to play with whatever version of a video game hangover that he plays with.

Speaker 8 And then obviously, you know,

Speaker 2 Las Vegas, I think they're a pretty good team, offensively at least.

Speaker 8 And yeah, I just, I really like the Raiders in this one. And we're going to go with the metrics on the saber metrics when it comes to video game.

Speaker 1 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.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I think the Cardinals are not good.

Speaker 8 And I think they're... So you're rooting against me then?

Speaker 1 No, I'm rooting for the Raiders.

Speaker 8 Oh, you want the Raiders to be good enough to make the Pinky Bet interesting?

Speaker 9 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 If the Raiders win, they're not the Pinky team.

Speaker 9 Oh, that's right.

Speaker 23 That's right. That's true.

Speaker 9 My mistake. So I'm rooting for you.

Speaker 8 The loser of this game is the Pinky Team.

Speaker 22 I have no worry about the Cardinals.

Speaker 1 If the Raiders lose this game, I will be a little nervous because the Raiders feel like a team that could somehow get hot weirdly.

Speaker 9 I agree with that.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 16 Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 And 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 think it was like 24 games or something.

Speaker 1 It's been a long, long time.

Speaker 1 I just feel like we're going to ⁇ 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.

Speaker 8 So are you taking them because, and I understand the sentiment if this is the case,

Speaker 8 they haven't been favorites in so long that it's like, I got to take advantage.

Speaker 2 I might not ever get this opportunity again.

Speaker 9 They shouldn't be.

Speaker 2 They should be the Lions as favorites.

Speaker 1 Well, it's also they shouldn't be favorites, so that makes no sense, so I have to bet on them.

Speaker 9 Yeah, so it's a reverse logic.

Speaker 8 So the Lions are two-point favorites, right?

Speaker 1 One and a half. One and a half.

Speaker 8 So I did have the Commanders as my underdog.

Speaker 25 Okay.

Speaker 8 And 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.

Speaker 9 Ooh. Every team.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it really is just like they shouldn't be favorites, so now I have to take them.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Oh, I get that. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay, Billy.

Speaker 25 My favorite is the Colts by four over the Jaguars.

Speaker 9 Ooh.

Speaker 16 I don't love it.

Speaker 21 I think it's just going to be...

Speaker 21 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.

Speaker 11 Jaguars were in that game, though.

Speaker 1 They should have won that game.

Speaker 11 Yeah, I don't think that's a game that they're like defeated from.

Speaker 8 Carson Wentz put them them in that game.

Speaker 21 No, but all the buildup from the offseason, it's going to be a total letdown. They're like, oh, shit, we still suck.

Speaker 11 High expectations for the Jaguars.

Speaker 21 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.

Speaker 21 Guys are going to be thinking, hey, am I getting traded?

Speaker 8 I'm not going to be strong in the NFL team, the program.

Speaker 1 Listen, Billy, me saying I don't love it is good because I'm the worst gambler alive.

Speaker 8 I like Travis Atien. I think he's the real deal.
But, Billy, your guy, Sam Ellinger, I've seen, you fucked up that name so many times.

Speaker 9 Now I don't know. Ellinger.

Speaker 8 Sam Ellinger, he was inactive last week.

Speaker 1 That's bad for the vibes.

Speaker 15 Really bad for the vibes.

Speaker 9 He could get active.

Speaker 9 He could get active. He could get active.

Speaker 2 They cut Rodrigo.

Speaker 8 I think that's bad for the vibes.

Speaker 1 Did you see the picture of him?

Speaker 8 It was so sad. It's very sad.
He's out on a practice field attempting field goals on his own, which we're kind of losing, whatever.

Speaker 1 The day he got cut, though,

Speaker 15 that felt sad.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 9 I felt bad for him.

Speaker 8 On the other hand, like ball is life.

Speaker 4 That's true.

Speaker 1 Someone will maybe pick him up, but probably not.

Speaker 15 Okay, that's your pick, Colts.

Speaker 1 Jake, finish us off with your favorite.

Speaker 24 My favorite is the biggest favorite on the board. It's the Rams minus 10 and a half against the Falcons.
The Rams can't be as bad as they were in national spotlight, opening night.

Speaker 9 Maybe they are?

Speaker 8 Maybe. 10 and a half is a lot of points.

Speaker 24 10 and a half is a lot of points, but like the Falcons cross-country road trip.

Speaker 9 Okay, yeah. They're not that bad.

Speaker 9 Now you're talking

Speaker 9 smart stuff

Speaker 25 in time zones. I'm like, let's go.

Speaker 24 Yeah, that's a lot of miles.

Speaker 9 Oh, my God.

Speaker 8 You probably don't even have Wi-Fi on that flight.

Speaker 2 Exactly.

Speaker 24 So they're going to get bored and antsy on it.

Speaker 9 Yeah, okay. That'll shut up.
I like it.

Speaker 8 Let's just base all our bets on having to deal with shitty Wi-Fi. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Their mind is wandering. Yeah, no,

Speaker 2 probably can't connect to their playbook on the plane.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 24 They're out on them until they win six in a row, right?

Speaker 8 Like, 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 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 right so that's fair they might not be as bad as as that l stands for yeah 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 Will Compton.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 8 He's getting very, very desperate.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 8 Very desperate. It's sad.

Speaker 1 He just needs one game to be active for his 10th year.

Speaker 8 We had to pitch Arthur Smith on hiring Will Compton to be a fullback. Yeah.

Speaker 2 That's how bad things are getting right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, just to try to get in a fight with Aaron Donald.

Speaker 8 That's, 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.

Speaker 1 Yep. He's willing to do it for the team.

Speaker 1 Hank, your dog.

Speaker 11 I am going against PFT.

Speaker 16 I am taking the Cardinals. I will be putting them in the money line parlay.

Speaker 11 I think they're going to win this game. I think the Call of Duty thing

Speaker 11 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.

Speaker 8 You think he's going to quit? He's just going to cold turkey. I think actually him quitting Call of Duty cold turkey would be worse.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's jonesing for it.

Speaker 8 He's just going to be thinking about it.

Speaker 11 I also also think

Speaker 11 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.

Speaker 11 It's not something that you want to sit and play for hours and hours and hours.

Speaker 1 But you got to sample. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 11 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.

Speaker 8 No, according to Imrax, 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.

Speaker 8 So it's the first time that he's, he's not going to be able to play it after this weekend.

Speaker 9 So he has to be able to do that.

Speaker 25 People play Warzone now.

Speaker 1 I just love this.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 11 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.

Speaker 11 It would be crazy for him to then play Call of Duty for 15 hours and be in a bad place for the game.

Speaker 9 What else is he going to do? He's a big guy.

Speaker 8 I don't think he does anything else.

Speaker 9 Yeah. I don't know.

Speaker 23 Okay, Max.

Speaker 29 I like the Saints plus two and a half at home against the Bucs.

Speaker 28 Divisional dog.

Speaker 29 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.

Speaker 9 Oh, I've watched it.

Speaker 9 The Bears are playing the Packers on Sunday night.

Speaker 30 The worst Sunday night of all time that I watched in the past week.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Do you remember that Commander's Eagles game where Peter C.

Speaker 9 put Nate Sudfeld in?

Speaker 15 That was a pretty bad thing.

Speaker 9 That was pretty bad.

Speaker 30 Everything is within the past week of all time.

Speaker 9 Yeah, no, we are.

Speaker 17 I'm punishing the Bucs after making us watch that.

Speaker 9 That's fair.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 9 Yeah, so I hate the Bucs. Yeah, I hate the box.
Yeah,

Speaker 8 in true fashion, our best gambler of all time is a goldfish. Yeah, right.

Speaker 14 Has the most recent T-bias of all time of any animal.

Speaker 9 Exactly.

Speaker 1 All right, I like that pick.

Speaker 9 PFT.

Speaker 8 Okay, so yeah, my favorite or my underdog is the commanders at the Lions.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay, head-to-head.

Speaker 13 So we're head-to-head both ways now so far.

Speaker 1 I am going to take,

Speaker 1 I'm going to go with Saints as well.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 The Cowboys could not have been more inept. And Jameis is a Hall of Fame.
It is two Hall of Fame quarterbacks going up against each other.

Speaker 29 It also opened at three and is down to two and a half, but all the public, like the public money is

Speaker 9 on the bucks. Look at that.
Sharp, sharp.

Speaker 25 Maxie, sharp boy. All right.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 She's so mad at Tom Brady for coming back.

Speaker 10 She's so mad.

Speaker 8 He was supposed to just be babysitting this year while she could go out and do her climate change stuff and all her activism that she's really into.

Speaker 8 And then two weeks in a training camp, or two weeks in the offseason, Tom's like, you know what? Can you just watch the kids for another year?

Speaker 23 And I am.

Speaker 1 I know it sounds crazy, but I do think she should not be mad at Tom Brady. She should be mad at Adam Schefter.

Speaker 1 Because I think if Tom Brady was allowed to announce his own retirement, he might have stayed retired. Yeah.
Yeah. Schefter screwed everything.

Speaker 1 Okay, Billy, your underdog.

Speaker 21 I like Steelers by two.

Speaker 21 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.

Speaker 18 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 18 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 with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 18 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.

Speaker 18 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 now it's like, ooh, this could be a panic button for you.

Speaker 11 No, the panic button. I mean, there is no panic button.

Speaker 9 Oh, okay. We're chilling.
Okay, you're chilling.

Speaker 21 The Steelers are a money dog. They're a money line dog.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 21 Like, if you weren't a Patriots fan, you would love this pick.

Speaker 9 You probably would. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Devil's right. Definitely.

Speaker 16 I do.

Speaker 28 I'm not going to take it, it, but he's right.

Speaker 8 You should take it. If the Patriots lose this, you got to talk about blowing something up.

Speaker 9 Maybe you don't blow it all up. Blowing the football up.

Speaker 8 Something needs to be blown up.

Speaker 19 Yes.

Speaker 9 Agreed.

Speaker 9 All right.

Speaker 1 Jake, finish this off with your underdog.

Speaker 24 Yeah, I'm going out west. I'm taking the Seahawks plus eight and a half against the 49ers.

Speaker 24 49ers.

Speaker 2 Tino believer.

Speaker 24 Looked like trash against your Bears. I know it was raining, but Kittle's still not practicing.
Their running back.

Speaker 9 Elijah Mitchell's always hurt. Yeah.
So he was.

Speaker 24 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.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 if you follow trends week two. So there's a couple that are like that

Speaker 1 that you can find out there.

Speaker 16 Okay, Hank, your favorite over?

Speaker 11 My favorite over is the Patriots Steelers.

Speaker 28 Really?

Speaker 11 Mac Jones, Mitch Trubisky, two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, two top 10 quarterbacks

Speaker 11 only getting 40 points. It's disrespectful to both of them.

Speaker 2 I think they are both number 10, right?

Speaker 16 They are both number 10.

Speaker 14 They're two top 10 quarterbacks.

Speaker 9 They're the top five.

Speaker 8 Number-wise in the NFL. That's very true.

Speaker 2 10 out of 10.

Speaker 11 But yeah, I mean, it's going to be an absolute slug fest.

Speaker 1 With points. With points.

Speaker 9 Yeah, slug fest is not what I.

Speaker 1 You say a game's going to be a slug fest. I'm not thinking of it.

Speaker 8 You say barn burners.

Speaker 14 You want shootouts.

Speaker 8 Yeah, you're going to like the scoreboard up.

Speaker 22 What's the number on that again? 40.

Speaker 11 Should be 60.

Speaker 1 Alternate. Take it all the way up to 60.

Speaker 9 I probably will take an alternate.

Speaker 1 All right. Your favorite over Max.

Speaker 29 I like the Dolphins-Ravens over 44.5.

Speaker 9 Ooh.

Speaker 29 I think this has a chance to be a fun game.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 29 The Ravens basically had a buy week one.

Speaker 9 Jet sting.

Speaker 9 That's true. That was a virtual buy.

Speaker 8 You got a lot of people writing Joe Flacco off. He ain't right back yet.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 1 This is another one I have circled. Like, if the Dolphins go into Baltimore and win, I'm going to have to start taking them for real, for real.

Speaker 8 Yeah, no, I actually agree with Max's analysis. This is going to be a fun game.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 17 And I just Tyreek Kelly equals points.

Speaker 16 So that's

Speaker 29 he's now on the Dolphins.

Speaker 8 So if I'm coaching the Ravens this weekend,

Speaker 8 I get Patrick Ricard involved as early as possible. I just have him run the fuck over somebody.
I have him like,

Speaker 8 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. Yep.
And we see at that point if the Dolphins are a candy-ass soft team.

Speaker 2 I like it.

Speaker 9 He's literally the Kool-Aid man. He is.

Speaker 21 I did the math with his 40 time and his weight and size.

Speaker 2 He could run through a brick wall.

Speaker 9 Wow. He is literally the Kool-Aid.

Speaker 8 What are the Kool-Aid man's dimensions?

Speaker 21 Different than Patrick Ricard, but he can still generate enough force to go through a brick wall.

Speaker 8 I love it. He might be my favorite player in the NFL.
Also, I think he's an AWL, so shout out.

Speaker 9 Shout out Patrick.

Speaker 8 The Kool-Aid man, six feet tall, 6,000 pounds.

Speaker 9 Oh, wow.

Speaker 25 Which is beautiful. Oh, that's like water weight.

Speaker 9 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 He could go on a diet.

Speaker 24 Oh, and he's 6,000 pounds when dry, 11,000 pounds with Kool-Aid.

Speaker 8 Wow. Wait, so he's 6,000 pounds dry?

Speaker 9 That's some 6,000-pound glass.

Speaker 8 Yeah, they need to redesign that glass.

Speaker 9 He was bulletproof.

Speaker 21 Actually, he would shatter if you tried to go through it.

Speaker 1 Well, it might be bulletproof with that much weight.

Speaker 15 Is it bulletproof?

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 8 Yeah, you could make a sick bong out of the Kool-Aid.

Speaker 24 His glass is 3.6 inches thick.

Speaker 16 Wow.

Speaker 9 That's really bullet-proof.

Speaker 28 Holy fuck.

Speaker 9 I love the weapon dimensions of the Kool-Aid, man.

Speaker 9 Over.

Speaker 8 Over. I have Jets Brown's 40.

Speaker 8 So over 40 points.

Speaker 2 Two bad offensive teams. 40 is a low number, though.

Speaker 8 That's my entire analysis.

Speaker 1 It's going to be a slugfest.

Speaker 9 a shootout.

Speaker 14 This one's going to be a shootout.

Speaker 2 It's going to be 41 points.

Speaker 8 I mean, if Flacco throws like 60 times. Yeah, so I mean, Flacco is not going to throw that many.
And as

Speaker 9 I don't know,

Speaker 8 there's no way that he can possibly throw that many times. He's going to die if he throws it.
Do you think how sore he was?

Speaker 9 Oh, my God.

Speaker 28 So sore.

Speaker 8 Yeah, so over 40 points, I feel like that's an easy dub.

Speaker 1 Okay, I'm going to take the Panthers Giants over 43.5.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 9 That's fine.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that I'm being brutally honest with the listeners.

Speaker 2 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 score?

Speaker 1 43 and a half.

Speaker 8 43 and a half. Looking at this game, you wouldn't be shocked if you saw the final scoreboard and it was 27-20.
Yeah. Right?

Speaker 1 27-24, maybe.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that doesn't feel like, whoa, that's crazy, big cat.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 24-21. Yeah.
That got it.

Speaker 15 It can happen.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it definitely can happen.

Speaker 16 Billy.

Speaker 21 I like Buck Saints 44. It's at the Dome, and I think it's going to be a shootout.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there actually is some stats behind because, you know, 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.

Speaker 1 It's a little weird, but.

Speaker 8 I can see him. Is that the playoff game, though, included?

Speaker 1 The playoff game included, but the other,

Speaker 1 what has he been?

Speaker 14 Two, three regular season games.

Speaker 1 Okay. He's been there for three.

Speaker 12 Has he been in the Bucs for three?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 9 This will be his third.

Speaker 10 This is his third season.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 21 But remember, Dome.

Speaker 9 Dome.

Speaker 1 Dome. Dome over.
No worries. Yeah, Dome over.
Dome over.

Speaker 2 Dover.

Speaker 1 Dover, the Dover.

Speaker 32 Jake.

Speaker 24 I'm going to go with Commanders Lions over 48.5.

Speaker 9 I like that.

Speaker 17 It's a big number.

Speaker 24 They're not exactly the sexiest teams, but you look at week one.

Speaker 24 I mean, when you look at Commanders' Lions, it's not like the Bills.

Speaker 9 I get

Speaker 9 the Rams. Jared Goff.

Speaker 1 I think it's a sexy.

Speaker 31 I think it's...

Speaker 1 I like that pick because this

Speaker 1 is the chaos game. Yeah, I think this is going to be the chaos.

Speaker 8 chaos 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 the commanders want

Speaker 8 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 lions put up 35 it's a lot of points let's do it okay let's do it 48 and a half seven Seven touchdowns.

Speaker 8 I'd be happy with the seven touchdowns. Sign me up.
Yeah. That's football, baby.
That's easy.

Speaker 9 That's easy. That's light work.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's finish up with the under, and then we'll do fantasy fuck boys. Also, we need our Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 1 So pick a player, everyone.

Speaker 11 I know who mine is. Okay.

Speaker 9 If you want me to say, all right, go ahead, say it. Saquon.
Okay, that was who I was going to say.

Speaker 9 I said, take McCaffrey.

Speaker 8 I looked at it and I was like, everyone's going to take Saquon. Yeah.
Yeah, fuck. That was a great pick.

Speaker 11 Yeah, I took him last week. He led the league.

Speaker 11 I have rights.

Speaker 8 Lead leaguer. You have Prima Nocta on Saquon?

Speaker 10 Yes.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 16 You're under.

Speaker 11 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 48.5.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 8 40 to 7 Lions.

Speaker 1 Yep. Max, yours.

Speaker 29 Raiders, Cardinals under.

Speaker 9 Oh,

Speaker 9 41.5. That's not fun.

Speaker 9 That's boring. But what if he seems stanked?

Speaker 31 Max is trying to act sharp.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you are trying to be sharp.

Speaker 9 You're trying to be too smart for this show. Stats and nine movements.
Oh, no.

Speaker 1 That is.

Speaker 17 We've been talking the whole thing of what if these teams stink.

Speaker 9 Yeah, but if they stink, that's an under.

Speaker 1 But I'm also thinking about where.

Speaker 11 Devontae Adams' family is going to be there.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like, that's just a note. Don't think, just shoot.

Speaker 8 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 Clocks.

Speaker 29 I should have figured that in.

Speaker 9 Factored that in.

Speaker 8 The fact that the shade of green on the green factor is identical.

Speaker 1 Big mistake.

Speaker 16 Okay,

Speaker 16 PFT, you're under.

Speaker 8 My under, I'm doing Saints Bucks.

Speaker 14 Okay.

Speaker 8 So 44, I think Saints 40 bucks 0.

Speaker 23 Nice. Nice.

Speaker 1 Saints, 40 bucks, 0.

Speaker 8 And I stand by my take that Sean Payton is like a shadow coach of this team because he didn't expect to not be coaching this year. Yep.

Speaker 8 I think you saw the Taysom Hill touchdown run that had Sean Payton's fingerprints all over it. Yep.

Speaker 9 Yep.

Speaker 1 Okay, I'm going to take the Bears Packers under 41.5 because

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 8 Can I give you keys to victory for the Bears?

Speaker 15 Sure.

Speaker 8 Just run the ball and don't let Aaron Rodgers have the ball.

Speaker 9 I like that. Or

Speaker 1 his wide receivers are so bad, maybe you should let him have the ball.

Speaker 8 That's interesting.

Speaker 8 He said that he has to get on the same frequency as his wide receivers.

Speaker 8 Means they have to do draws a trip. I mean, Aaron Rodgers is a bad quarterback for not inviting any teammates on that trip.
Yes.

Speaker 1 I am dreading this game.

Speaker 1 There's like 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.

Speaker 1 So might as well make it an extra torture chamber.

Speaker 24 Take the under uh billy detroit washington 48 and a half okay under so we got two unders on that and then jake finish us off i'm gonna take colts jags under 45 and a half i'm gonna say the jags are in a gami game every week yeah seem like gammy vibes yeah gammi vibes like miss extra 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 gammy but i don't hate that i don't hate that i i feel like the uh the afc South is the most gammiable division.

Speaker 5 Yep, it's not a gamma.

Speaker 25 It's got gammi written all over it.

Speaker 24 I'll go

Speaker 16 25-11.

Speaker 9 Okay, gammi.

Speaker 1 The only game we didn't talk about was Bengals Cowboys, Cooper Rush.

Speaker 10 That's right, yeah. So we're doing Cooper Rush, huh?

Speaker 13 Would you stick with Cooper Rush? I think so.

Speaker 1 I think they're just doing the Cooper Rush thing.

Speaker 8 I saw a lot of Cooper Rush in the preseason because I was waiting to watch Ben DiNucci get in the games.

Speaker 9 Cooper Rush, not good.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Not good. Sorry, Cooper.
I'm sure that you...

Speaker 8 You have AWL vibes on you. Yeah.
I'm sure you're a good guy.

Speaker 14 He had that one good game against the Vikings.

Speaker 8 Not good. Not good.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think this is another game where the Bengals have to blow them out for me to be like, yep, Bengals are back.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 Once Cooper Rush gets in the game, he magnifies all the boneheaded bird brain mistakes that Mike McCarthy will make.

Speaker 1 Yes. All right, so we have Saquon, PFT, what's your pick?

Speaker 8 I'm going to take Chubb. Okay.
I'm going Nick Chubb on this one.

Speaker 2 Even though he did say he likes the nickname Chunt this week for him and Kareem Hunt.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 25 Okay.

Speaker 15 Is DeAndre Swift hurt?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 I was going to go DeAndre Swift, but now I'm thinking, did I hear something that he might be hurt?

Speaker 24 Wednesday's practice.

Speaker 9 Fuck.

Speaker 15 All right, let's just go with Jonathan Taylor.

Speaker 2 Derrick Henry. Jonathan Taylor.

Speaker 1 No, yeah, I think you can't do Monday night. They're playing Monday Monday night.

Speaker 1 So pick something that's happening on Sunday.

Speaker 1 Maybe just go.

Speaker 8 He said that it's nothing to worry about, DeAndre Swift, his ankle injury.

Speaker 5 Go McCaffrey. Just go McCaffrey.

Speaker 9 Go McAffrey. Because then we have it all in one game.
He's not hurt. Oh, he might.
Probably. Oh, yeah.
He's always hurt.

Speaker 15 Statistically, yes.

Speaker 24 We were thinking of Lenny, but he was limited in practice.

Speaker 1 Yes. Everyone's hurt.

Speaker 9 Fuck.

Speaker 4 They really tricked us with this.

Speaker 9 Not Russia.

Speaker 9 It's hard for them. It's way harder.
Cam Akers. Yeah, fuck that.

Speaker 24 Ooh, James Robinson was good.

Speaker 9 Okay, with Undergame.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Don't want to ruin it. Go with McCaffrey.

Speaker 1 We'll have Saquon and McCaffrey.

Speaker 8 Are we sure?

Speaker 9 I want them. I want you guys to go back.
You don't want to make two picks.

Speaker 9 You guys got to make a pick.

Speaker 16 You're right. You're right.
You're right. You're right.

Speaker 9 You guys should have done this.

Speaker 1 Can I throw out another name?

Speaker 14 Javante Williams, maybe?

Speaker 9 He splits too much.

Speaker 23 Okay, fuck.

Speaker 9 I make a pick.

Speaker 1 Just make a pick.

Speaker 9 I'd like to Williams. Lenny.

Speaker 8 Lenny. Leonard Fournette.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 8 Okay. Pick has been made.

Speaker 1 So, Saquon, Leonard Fournette, Jonathan Taylor, Barstool Lenny, and what was yours, PFT?

Speaker 15 I had Chubb. Chubb.

Speaker 1 They all have to hit 50 yards rushing, and they will be in the Barcelona Sportsbook exclusives. So, Mount Rushmore bet.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Okay, good preview. I think everyone learned a lot during that.

Speaker 1 Should we do Fantasy Fuck Boys and we'll get to the DeVitos? DeVitos?

Speaker 11 Yeah, I'm not going to lie. I thought we were doing Fantasy Lad Boys,

Speaker 11 but I'll just read it.

Speaker 9 I can switch on a fly.

Speaker 11 No, that's. I mean, I can.
It's just.

Speaker 9 Oi. Oi.
Oi. Oi.
Cheer up. I want to stand with you on a mountain.

Speaker 9 I want to save with you in the sea.

Speaker 9 I want to stay like this forever

Speaker 33 I saw a very touching tribute indeed to Roger Fetterer earlier this morning.

Speaker 8 What I will remember the most about Roger Fetereau, how effortless he made it all look.

Speaker 9 The movement of his body.

Speaker 8 The flow of his strokes.

Speaker 9 I love a good stroke, buddy.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 It's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Billy needs to run tempo on his brain.

Speaker 22 I was better in the hurry-up.

Speaker 1 He needs to run a two-minute offense at all times.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 15 All right.

Speaker 8 So after a quarterback gets hit a few times, they feel more comfortable. They settle in.

Speaker 1 First of all, thank you for coming and sitting on our gross couch.

Speaker 9 Thank you for having us.

Speaker 9 You know,

Speaker 37 the couch definitely has, you know, a personality of its own.

Speaker 9 Yeah, you guys love.

Speaker 4 It kind of grows on you. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Is it named?

Speaker 37 Do you have a name for it? Blake.

Speaker 9 Blake. Blake the couch.
Blake the couch. Hey, Blake.

Speaker 1 See that? It's held up by paint cans.

Speaker 9 Yeah, and yeah.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 9 Yeah. That's where you're.
You feel like you're going to sink into the sleeping.

Speaker 37 No, but now I feel bad for Blake. And we like Blake.

Speaker 9 He's been through as well.

Speaker 4 And I bet he's good sleeping, too.

Speaker 9 You bet you can fall asleep on the sleep. Oh, yeah.
I've fallen asleep on Blake many, many times.

Speaker 8 Jake has cuddled on Blake before.

Speaker 8 That couch has seen some shit.

Speaker 9 Death Couch cried.

Speaker 37 Cried tears of sorrow into the pillows of Blake.

Speaker 9 Yes.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Obviously, Danny, you play the dad. Lucy, you're his daughter, and you're Little Demon.

Speaker 9 Is that that's kind of like fucked up for you, right? Like, you're basically like, you're Satan's daughter.

Speaker 37 Yeah. No, I mean, it's about a 13-year-old girl who has

Speaker 37 been moved from town to town. She has lived her her whole life with her mom, single mom, Aubrey Plaza.
And

Speaker 37 she starts her first day of school and

Speaker 37 has some, you know, crazy event happen to her. And 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.

Speaker 9 God,

Speaker 37 he's Satan. And so now he knows of her whereabouts and

Speaker 37 Chrissy meets Satan and, you know, we,

Speaker 37 you know, the story unfolds.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 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 show really starts.

Speaker 9 Right.

Speaker 4 The first show is like when she has a period and she also finds these powers that she has as a young teenager.

Speaker 9 That's real.

Speaker 8 That's a normal thing for women.

Speaker 9 That's a normal thing for women.

Speaker 8 So when did she find out that she's

Speaker 9 stronger than anything?

Speaker 4 You know, it's like they can take, rip you apart.

Speaker 4 And so this signals, well, also,

Speaker 4 they wind up in Delaware, which is where they went, where it happens.

Speaker 9 That would be a perfect place for me. Perfect place.
Yeah, it is hell.

Speaker 9 It is hell.

Speaker 4 And Chrissy, she opens up, besides having her, you know, all these powers that she acquires, she opens up a big, big hole in the sky up above Delaware, which signals, you know, there's nowhere to hide from Satan.

Speaker 4 See, and I come.

Speaker 37 That's when I she also realizes she can murder people.

Speaker 9 Oh, yeah, okay. I like that.

Speaker 8 Is it weird? Because Aubrey Plaza, I don't know how old she's, but I think she's probably, is she younger than you?

Speaker 37 Yeah, no, we're like the same age. Same age?

Speaker 8 Yeah. So, like, how does that work out when you're playing somebody's daughter who's

Speaker 37 your peer? Well, it's an animated show. Right.

Speaker 37 So

Speaker 37 we sort of just get into the the characters and we have a very, I don't know, we have a very

Speaker 37 the relationship works. Yeah, yeah.
I feel very comforted by her and you know, she takes care of me.

Speaker 26 Do you have Lucy?

Speaker 1 Do you have like flashbacks when you're doing dialogue of like fights that you got in?

Speaker 37 to with your father when you were a kid and stuff like is there moments like oh yeah i can draw on these emotions because i lived them yeah i was constantly like dad you're the fucking devil and i you know i hate what you made me

Speaker 8 When you're doing voice acting, how much of it is you in a booth doing it?

Speaker 8 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?

Speaker 37 Yeah, well, we

Speaker 37 you mostly do it one on, like just on your own, but 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

Speaker 37 we could actually have scenes together because we got a lot of great stuff from like the spontaneity of you know in some improv it's mostly scripted but like there is some improving some things happen you get to never know talk over each other and you know

Speaker 9 on the top of you

Speaker 1 yeah work on the relationship that way that way yeah so danny what when uh lucy decided to be an actress Were you like, oh no, why are you getting into family business?

Speaker 9 I'm only, oh, oh, contraire.

Speaker 4 Okay. Oh, man.
See, see, from the, 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,

Speaker 4 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 it. Everybody's carrying on.

Speaker 4 It's an 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.

Speaker 4 You really got to be the Antichrist.

Speaker 9 And my mom,

Speaker 4 my mom, you know, is also an actress, maria pearlman so it'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 i the first thing i ever saw her do is she played a in a in a garden play or something she played an aunt right crawley an aunt yeah and then in high school yeah like the bug yeah yeah and like in high school i saw her do a neil libuch play which was really like really strong very good disturbing but good but you know i like the dark side, you know.

Speaker 4 So, all that good, good stuff. And I realized that she was going to do it.
And, you know, the best thing to do with your kids is to go along with that stuff, those impulses. Right.

Speaker 4 You don't want to fight that.

Speaker 1 Because, yeah, I mean, I was going to say, if either of my children become podcasters, I'll kill them.

Speaker 9 So that's not how.

Speaker 4 That's not true.

Speaker 9 I think you're saying that now.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 9 This beautiful desk, I Let's say we've got a syringe.

Speaker 9 See, I think

Speaker 1 I view podcasting as like the coal mine. Like I went to podcasting so you didn't have to, so you could have a better life than me.

Speaker 37 How old are your kids?

Speaker 9 Three and one. So yeah.

Speaker 37 Well, we got some time to figure out. Yeah, we got some time to see what they what they like.

Speaker 8 There won't be podcasting in the future. It'll be whatever the next interview is.

Speaker 9 Whatever the hell it is this is.

Speaker 8 But somebody's always going to want to listen to somebody else talking to kill the time.

Speaker 10 Exactly.

Speaker 8 So when you were growing up,

Speaker 8 would you watch his movies?

Speaker 8 Would he make you watch his movies or are there certain ones that you're like i don't i don't want to watch rainmaker again dad no i mean i loved i loved most all of his movies most most

Speaker 37 no no no i mean i i feel like i grew up you know with like matilda and yeah rainmaker is great what he's done so many great movies we me and my sister um

Speaker 37 begged him to show us pulp fiction because he produced pulp fiction but we were like way too young to watch it yeah and um but you know we we we we manipulated him enough

Speaker 37 we got him show it to us you know and no but he never forced us to watch anything he's he's only like sit down no it was mostly like watch this Humphrey Bogart yeah yeah I try to introduce right away you know in the early days

Speaker 4 black and white movies because you know

Speaker 4 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 you know movies of my, that I grew up with with Bogey and Peter Laurie and like all these great,

Speaker 4 you know, Billy Wilder movies and stuff, but I also tried to introduce them reading subtitles. That was like, that was big, man.

Speaker 4 When they got to the point where, where I could sit them down and look at, you know, a French movie or an Italian movie or something where you had to read the subtitles.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 37 I don't know. I don't remember the exact time I watched it, but I mean, I fucking love that movie.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I mean, it's one of the best movies ever.

Speaker 37 Yeah, yeah. And I actually recently re-watched it not too long ago, and I just, it just holds up so it's an amazing movie.

Speaker 9 Absolutely.

Speaker 2 Yeah. When you were making pulp fiction,

Speaker 8 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?

Speaker 8 Or was it one of those things where you were holding your breath because there's so much crazy stuff happening?

Speaker 4 You know, that second part. What it was was in the very beginning, I read a script by Quentin called Reservoir Dogs.
Yeah. It hadn't been made yet, but it was already being made.

Speaker 4 So I read this script and filmed, 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.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 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,

Speaker 4 it said, Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino, final draft.

Speaker 9 Wow.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 So I was really lucky to, well, first of all, I had the instinct instinct to want to be in business with him, but I was really lucky that he was so good.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I would also think that a script like that, it can be,

Speaker 8 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. Absolutely.

Speaker 8 In terms of like the visual storytelling of it as well. Exactly.
But the fact that you had already tied yourself in, you're like, I'm already in, so I believe in this guy.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 They look at it and they say, Oh, shit, like 155 pages. It's a lot.
I said, Listen, this is the way you got to talk because this is the way the guy talks.

Speaker 4 So, when you read the script, you got to read it like this. This fucking thing, maybe 155 pages, but it ain't going to be 155 fucking minutes.

Speaker 9 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 4 So, it was, it was a, 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.

Speaker 4 So, I got to visit. I got to meet everybody.
I got to hang out a little bit with them. And

Speaker 4 so I didn't get the day-to-day stuff like being on set when

Speaker 4 everybody was doing their, when Sam Jackson and they were all doing their shit. But I do remember one story that I can tell you that

Speaker 4 I brought the script to a studio that I had to deal with

Speaker 4 who paid for the

Speaker 4 script, right? For him. I had to deal with the studio.
And I brought it to them. They wouldn't do it.
It was TriStar. They wouldn't do it.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 9 This is a comedy. You know what I mean? All right.

Speaker 4 So I went, then I brought it to Weinstein, right? So Weinstein had already was working on Reservoir Dogs. He immediately said, yes, okay.

Speaker 4 Only catch was he wanted Daniel Day-Lewis to play the part of, and he wanted Daniel Dewis.

Speaker 9 Yeah, wow.

Speaker 4 Harvey wanted Daniel because Daniel de luis is a great actor he won 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 quenton i'm going to make the movie you want to make right and quenton wants john travolta harvey want he went he almost lit the room up he went on fire he was going crazy i said no man this is the way it's got to be you you got travolta or you don't have a movie and we stuck to our guns guns, and John got what he wanted.

Speaker 4 And I mean, Quentin got what he wanted. And we got John Travolta in the part.

Speaker 25 Yeah, Travolta hadn't really, he wasn't an A-lister at the time.

Speaker 9 No, at the time. He was his comeback.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it was his comeback. He's great.
God, you know, he was great in the movie, and he's a great guy, and he's a good, good, good actor.

Speaker 8 I can't imagine that movie with Daniel Day-Lewis. No, no, no.

Speaker 9 It would have been a different movie.

Speaker 4 It's totally different.

Speaker 37 Also, how would we have done that method-wise?

Speaker 9 You know what I mean? Yeah, that's true. He would have had to really do some fucked-up shit.

Speaker 9 He would be in jail, right? Yeah, he would. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Is it weird?

Speaker 1 Now, 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.

Speaker 9 Absolutely. Rum ham.
Yeah, have you had a moment where you're like, oh, well, this is what I'm after. This is what I am now.
Yeah, I become.

Speaker 4 Well, it's like kind of cool, though. You know what I mean? Like with the whole thing where you go, people transfer.
Like when Louie, when I did taxi,

Speaker 4 you know, the next day, it was like anywhere you went, it was Louie. Hey, Louie.
Hey, Louie, Louie. And they play the song when I come in and the whole thing, Louie, Louie.

Speaker 4 You know, that whole thing. And then now with

Speaker 4 It's Always Sunny, Frank has become like, you know, it's a strong, and the ham is.

Speaker 9 It's a classic. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 People have tattoos in the ham.

Speaker 9 Yeah. Yes, I really agree.

Speaker 1 Is that weird for you, Lucy?

Speaker 37 Like, your dad, you know, obviously all growing up, he's an actor, and then he gets this part that becomes like we're the same age, and like it's our age demo 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 it that people you know know my dad in that way you know i think it's really funny and and awesome and you know i think it's i i don't know i think it's cool it's a totally like different second act of your entire career.

Speaker 1 And it's, I mean, always sunny is, I think, if you pull everyone in this office, it's a top five show for everyone.

Speaker 9 Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 4 We've done enough of them.

Speaker 16 We're going to do more, though.

Speaker 4 We're going back. Yeah.
We're going to go in. You know, the guys are great to work with.

Speaker 4 You know, and they do a they actually have a podcast, by the way. Oh, yeah.
That they've been doing. I haven't been on it yet.

Speaker 4 But the whole idea is that we're going to go back, I think, in January for season,

Speaker 4 could it be 16s?

Speaker 23 Yeah, something like that, man.

Speaker 4 But we have a good time doing it, and you just say, like, look,

Speaker 4 and I do almost anything.

Speaker 4 Basically, you know, it's written that we talk about it and everything. Like, do I going to come out of a couch naked, or am I going to, am I going to jump flat, fall out a window, lose my mind?

Speaker 9 Am I going to be slime?

Speaker 4 And what's going to happen?

Speaker 23 And I'm, I'm game.

Speaker 4 You know, I did Whitey Tidies naked in that, or

Speaker 4 half naked in a couple of shows where I was laying on the ground. Oh, yeah, was that

Speaker 9 slime night worms i was watching was that the game you like

Speaker 9 i know oh oh well you mean um uh yeah with charlie yeah just crawl you just crawl around on your stomach in the middle of the night yeah we do that yeah

Speaker 4 i mean i shit in the bed once

Speaker 9 you know

Speaker 8 they're a little nuts those guys i think that the great part about that show is that um You can keep getting away with a lot of stuff.

Speaker 8 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, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 And they're bad. And they're all assholes.

Speaker 10 They're all assholes.

Speaker 8 So you can say things on that show that you wouldn't be able to say if you were not operating under that premise.

Speaker 8 So I guess my question would be: Has there ever been a moment where they tried to write something that was so out there that you're like,

Speaker 8 I don't think we can make this funny?

Speaker 4 Well, no, they did one thing.

Speaker 4 We try everything. You know, we try all kinds of stuff.
But they did one thing.

Speaker 23 I remember it was early morning.

Speaker 4 I was going to go to work. I was about to go to a read-through of of the first

Speaker 4 script for that season. I can't remember which season.
And somebody handed me a script at the house and said, look, the guys have changed their mind.

Speaker 4 They're going to do this script instead of the one you were going to read. And I said, oh, God, okay.

Speaker 4 They said, but they want you to read it right away.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 9 Okay, wait a while.

Speaker 4 So, and I read, and then they go back to the bar and they're doing some more antics and everything.

Speaker 4 They wrote an entire script where I get banged like six times by white supremacists, by cops, by everybody, until the very last moment.

Speaker 4 Frank is like, you know, a description of me laying on a cot.

Speaker 4 I'm depleted. You know, I've been banged by everybody.
And

Speaker 4 the cop says, somebody

Speaker 17 made your bail.

Speaker 4 And I go, oh, thank God, I get up, you know, and it says he's walking. He can't walk.

Speaker 4 And finally, the cop, 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.

Speaker 9 And he throws me down on the ground. And all the cops come.

Speaker 4 And in the very last moment of the script, the cop leans into me and says,

Speaker 4 April fool, motherfucker.

Speaker 9 And I knew immediately that it was April 1st. And those sons of bitches

Speaker 9 wrote a whole script just to bust my boy.

Speaker 9 That's amazing.

Speaker 9 I called them up.

Speaker 4 They were all sitting around with the speakerphone, laughing their asses off.

Speaker 4 I was like an inch away from calling my lawyer.

Speaker 8 At the same time, like, it's a fucked up script, but I could actually see that word.

Speaker 9 Yeah, it's a hilarious show. I mean, I'm sure it was a good script.

Speaker 34 Yeah, I visualized the whole thing. I was like, that's funny.

Speaker 9 We got to the end.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I want to, I'm casting approval at at guys.

Speaker 1 So, Lucy, knowing that your dad has done all these different things, have you thought about your career and what's the different thing you want to do or what's the next big thing you want to do?

Speaker 37 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 37 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.

Speaker 37 Oh, nice. So, yeah, we've, and we're producing together.

Speaker 37 We produced Little Demon, and we're working on a few other projects,

Speaker 37 you know, movies.

Speaker 37 And I'm, I'm kind of like excited about the idea of like, before, I 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.

Speaker 37 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

Speaker 37 put,

Speaker 37 you know, give my friends who I think are, you know, talented or talented other artists and writers, actors, you know, voices. That, you know, I, you know, if I have that opportunity to

Speaker 37 tell a story and give someone an opportunity, that's great.

Speaker 1 You know, I'd have to imagine there was a point where it was like, hey, I'm a really good actor. I'm not just Danny DeVito.

Speaker 1 Like, was there a point in your career where it's like, oh, okay, now I feel comfortable.

Speaker 1 Like, I don't have to not run from it, but like, I don't have to look over my shoulder being like, why, you know, this person just thinks I'm dangerous daughter.

Speaker 37 I am, I moved to New York

Speaker 37 in my early 20s

Speaker 37 and did theater and lived here for

Speaker 37 about 12 years because I needed the actual physical distance and just like to,

Speaker 37 you know, I needed to get my

Speaker 37 C legs basically.

Speaker 37 And also, like, um 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 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

Speaker 37 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Yeah, it's really good. We have a lot of fun.

Speaker 4 We just went to

Speaker 4 Dorset, Vermont, which is way up there, a little theater up there.

Speaker 4 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 Teresa Riebach and that we're hoping to do together some as soon as we get it.

Speaker 4 You know, you need to work it, you know, so 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.

Speaker 9 Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, it'd be really good.

Speaker 8 Is it more competitive

Speaker 8 trying to be a theater actor than it is trying to act on television or in movies?

Speaker 9 Yeah, I think it's,

Speaker 4 well, I don't know. It's a competitive.

Speaker 4 it's just, it's just a different

Speaker 4 thing. You know, actors go through, like when I was breaking out doing it, I was off Broadway, off, off-Broadway, children's theater,

Speaker 4 what do you call it, Summer Stock,

Speaker 4 worked in, you know, traveling around doing little plays, 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

Speaker 4 three or four years later of just everybody thinking that I was martini, I got taxi.

Speaker 4 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 there.
And then you have to be ready.

Speaker 4 So like Lucy was saying, if you get your chops, you know, doing theater and doing little things.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I felt like

Speaker 37 theater for me when I was younger, it's just more immediate too. Like you can get up and do something with your friends.

Speaker 37 And I used to do things like where we would go and do short plays at bars in Brooklyn. You know what I mean?

Speaker 37 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

Speaker 37 that immediacy of it where you're like, I just want to get up and do something.

Speaker 37 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.

Speaker 37 And also when I was starting off, like the internet wasn't what it is now. So it, and I'm still like not internet savvy.

Speaker 37 So like for me, it's like I'm I'm more comfortable being with like the what's in the space? What can we use here? Not like how do I project it out into the in like onto YouTube or anything.

Speaker 9 Right.

Speaker 8 So um getting feedback immediately must be a a 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.

Speaker 8 If you're doing television or a movie, you have to wait. And then you know, you think that what you just made was good, but then you have to wait for the audience.

Speaker 37 It's also like a community, you know, because because you like hang out with the people

Speaker 37 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.

Speaker 9 Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 8 But now with the internet, it's like there's almost too much immediate feedback.

Speaker 9 Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, instantly.

Speaker 1 So you people won't even watch and they'll be like, this sucks.

Speaker 9 Yeah, totally.

Speaker 8 You like to change up everything that you're doing because like five people tell you right when it comes out that it sucks.

Speaker 9 Right.

Speaker 4 With taxi, 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.

Speaker 4 It was really great. And then on Friday night, we would

Speaker 4 shoot the show in front of an audience. So there were 300 people there.
So

Speaker 4 you got that feedback, immediate feedback from the audience, and you also got it on film. Yeah.
And that was really great.

Speaker 4 And we had a great director who, Jimmy Burroughs, who was, he had this technique where if you were going to blow a joke like you know you flub a line and you're about to get to the punchline he would

Speaker 4 go like this he would stop everything you know what i mean so we would just stop in front of 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 tape we're we're filming it we used to shoot on film it wasn't even tape it was these big big cameras in 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.

Speaker 4 So we'd break it up. Sometimes we'd 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 or whatever it was.

Speaker 4 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 punchline and you were getting close to it and you fucked, you know, fucked up a word.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Jimmy would go,

Speaker 4 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's that was like a tribute to this guy.

Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah, that's good.

Speaker 8 That's really smart, yeah.

Speaker 1 So, we were uh talking to you guys before. We are a sports podcast, I only have one sports question.
Go for it.

Speaker 1 Because you guys are in the you know, theater world, actor world, you know, doing different movies, TV shows. Do you guys watch any sports?

Speaker 9 Yeah, uh, okay, I well, I

Speaker 37 usually watch basketball when it gets to like playoffs.

Speaker 9 Hell yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you like LeBron?

Speaker 37 Sure. I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 37 I honestly, I mean, because he's on the Lakers now, right?

Speaker 37 Yeah. So I guess I'm an L.A.
girl, so I kind of, he's, I have to like him, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 37 Yeah, totally.

Speaker 31 You're an alien.

Speaker 9 Can you unpack that a little bit?

Speaker 10 Like, what do you do?

Speaker 8 Just set up a hypothetical situation. It's October 17th.
It's a Sunday. It's 52 degrees outside.
Sunny.

Speaker 1 You have all day.

Speaker 9 What do you do?

Speaker 9 It's been so many years since you guys have had a sunny day. What do you do?

Speaker 9 Like, what you do is you can't do it. I mean, you could do so many things.

Speaker 37 You could go to a museum.

Speaker 9 You could

Speaker 22 sell us on not watching football.

Speaker 1 Museum's not a great selling thing.

Speaker 37 You could go to the beach. Okay.

Speaker 15 October. October is seven.

Speaker 9 But we're in L.A. Okay.

Speaker 37 You know, you go out to the beach, you get some Malibu seafood, you sit out by the thing.

Speaker 1 Do you see when you go get the Malibu seafood, is there like a game on? You're like, oh, I wonder what that is.

Speaker 37 I don't know.

Speaker 9 This is.

Speaker 37 I don't know.

Speaker 37 That's not part. I don't.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 9 Yeah, so like on a normal,

Speaker 9 what do you call that? Just a pork, yeah, oh, yeah,

Speaker 8 on a Sunday, do you ever run into just like groups of men that are dressed similar and they're drunk and angry?

Speaker 9 Yeah, but I avoid that's our tribe, that's what I'm our tribe.

Speaker 9 Okay, so you avoid our tribe, we avoid your tribe.

Speaker 8 We're like that, uh, the Sentinelese Island that often goes through

Speaker 9 of India.

Speaker 4 You're gonna canoe out in that red shirt,

Speaker 9 bring us football.

Speaker 9 Have some wampum, baby.

Speaker 37 I don't dislike sports. I just don't know them that way.

Speaker 4 We used to always go, once in a while, we'd go to

Speaker 37 basketball game, baseball game.

Speaker 37 I don't know NFL, honestly. But actually, my brother-in-law, he's from Georgia.

Speaker 9 Oh. So he likes

Speaker 9 dogs. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Go dogs. Yeah, go dogs.
Yeah, they just won the national championship. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's pretty good.

Speaker 23 Yeah, and

Speaker 4 like into like, I actually, a friend of mine and I have been touring with this. We're going to do a show, actually,

Speaker 4 a show that we're trying to put together. And it's called Game 7.

Speaker 9 Ooh.

Speaker 1 Now you have our interest.

Speaker 9 Aha.

Speaker 33 Best two words in sports.

Speaker 9 They perked up these two words. Yeah, they did.
It's like the whole thing. We've been sleeping before.

Speaker 9 Outside of the room. It was boring up until now.

Speaker 9 On the side of the room was like wilting a little bit. Yeah, we were like, oh,

Speaker 9 I got to listen to

Speaker 9 acting bullshit.

Speaker 2 It could be a black and white fringe zone

Speaker 13 with subtitles.

Speaker 13 But you call it Game 7.

Speaker 23 I'm like, I'm in.

Speaker 9 I'll read all those titles.

Speaker 4 So it's about that moment, you know, that thing, a game seven moment that

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 I watch all the, you know, 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 sports fan.
You know, I like the World Series.

Speaker 4 I like the, you know, all that stuff.

Speaker 25 But

Speaker 4 my game seven was this. Okay.
It was the

Speaker 4 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.

Speaker 4 It was like, there was so much anticipation for this. I mean, this was big, man, because this was like, and we worked worked on it.
We rehearsed. We had 10 days of rehearsal.
We were all going.

Speaker 4 We were all, you know, getting tuned, which is what it is.

Speaker 4 And Jim Brooks, who is one of the producers, sent me a little, creepy little plant, right? And on it, it had a card.

Speaker 4 And it said, Dear Danny, as Louis De Palma would say, if you don't do good tonight, you'll be eating shit tomorrow.

Speaker 9 That's game seven. That's game seven.

Speaker 31 That's game seven.

Speaker 9 You know what I mean?

Speaker 8 Yeah, I'm just going back through my life.

Speaker 9 Several

Speaker 9 game seven. Yes, yeah.

Speaker 8 That's a great way to think about it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Everyone has a lot of stuff. So

Speaker 4 we're planning a show right now that we're going to do.

Speaker 15 That's awesome.

Speaker 5 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 5 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 5 My personal favorite, the blazing buffalo chicken, hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 5 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 5 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Danny, do you know that? I assume you do know this, but there was a change.org for you to be the next Wolverine.

Speaker 13 Oh, yeah, I heard that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it has 61,000 signatures. Holy shit.

Speaker 1 The entire campaign was Hugh Jackman, obviously, retired from being Wolverine. There's only one man to fill that role.

Speaker 9 It is Danny DeVito. Should I?

Speaker 1 Well, the reasoning is actually, there's two reasons.

Speaker 1 They only had two, but they said Danny DeVito's height is a lot closer to the comic book's portrayal of Wolverine.

Speaker 9 Right?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 4 Oh, I'm not afraid to get dirty.

Speaker 9 Yeah, so you're Wolverine. I am pumped, baby.

Speaker 23 No, I'm like.

Speaker 37 You're talking to the next Wolverine.

Speaker 9 This is the next Wolverine.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's the only thing that you haven't accomplished, right?

Speaker 9 I'm going to do it. I'll do it.
Is it Marvel? Is Wolverine Marvel? Yeah, one of those. Marvel.
Go for it, man. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Get those fans, you know, get me the jobs.

Speaker 1 I pulled it up since 2019, it was created, but if you pull it up, people are still signing it as of three hours ago.

Speaker 15 Yeah, let's just

Speaker 9 do it.

Speaker 15 So it's a six figures.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it said that they needed to get 75,000 signatures. I think Hollywood just has to do it then.

Speaker 9 They're going to do it. 75,000.
That's all they got to do, right? Go for it. That's how you got your first roll.

Speaker 37 That's exactly how I got it.

Speaker 9 75,000 signatures. Yep.
Boom.

Speaker 1 It's that easy. But thank you guys.
This has been really, really fun.

Speaker 1 Lucy and Danny DeVito, we appreciate it. Go watch Little Demon on FXX on Thursday nights and on Hulu the next day.

Speaker 15 Appreciate it, guys.

Speaker 37 Thank you so much.

Speaker 12 Thanks, guys.

Speaker 9 Give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 38 Sebastian Maniscalco's new stand-up special, It Ain't Right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st.

Speaker 9 30 years ago, Jeff Bezos, complete nerd. Bezos now ripped to shreds on his super yacht, and the boxes keep coming.

Speaker 38 Sebastian Maniscalco, It Ain't Right. Premieres November 21st, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers.

Speaker 4 Terms apply.

Speaker 2 Hank, your Fire Fest.

Speaker 2 Wednesday's show.

Speaker 11 And I don't, you know, it is what it is.

Speaker 11 It's more just like

Speaker 11 I.

Speaker 11 You guys use Twitter more than I do. You guys take it a little more seriously than I do.
I just like to spit off hot takes, but then sometimes I get trapped

Speaker 11 and 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 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 they're going on my instagram dms they're going on every every single way they can reach out to be like you're a fucking idiot andrew luck was great even though he was four and four in the playoffs and then they're like oh it's offensive line his offensive line they had a great offensive line and he quit.

Speaker 11 Yeah, okay. And so my fire fest is just that

Speaker 11 I've gotten too emotionally invested in these really dumb

Speaker 11 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.
I think we but Andrew Luck bust Seahawks bad Forstown.

Speaker 11 Okay, back to game over and to beat.

Speaker 8 I think the Andrew Luck take the Andrew Luck take is like it's reasonable to say that he didn't deliver on what people thought he was going to be.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 9 Yeah, yeah, that was a madness.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 But yeah, I admire the strong takes, Hank. Yeah.

Speaker 11 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 and

Speaker 9 built a statue of the biggest

Speaker 9 process.

Speaker 8 Tear down the Washington Monument and just put a statue of his giant.

Speaker 11 The people that are making excuses for him disgust me.

Speaker 1 I would make all the excuses for him under the hypothetical you just threw out them.

Speaker 8 Yeah, that'd be amazing. Win four playoff games.
Hank, the last time the Commanders won a playoff game was 2005, and we scored one offensive touchdown.

Speaker 1 So Bears won one in 2010, then lost to the Packers in the NFC Championship game.

Speaker 25 So, yeah.

Speaker 9 It's been a while.

Speaker 11 Yeah, I mean, I guess. I'm

Speaker 9 talking to the fucking four.

Speaker 1 You're barking up the wrong tree, buddy.

Speaker 8 Mark Brunel had 52 yards passing in a playoff victory.

Speaker 8 That's the highlight of my career as a Commanders fan.

Speaker 13 I would understand that.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 8 I'd let him spit it into my mouth.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's just fancy. Also, on the Twitter thing, like, that's, I don't like when people are like, oh, you're triggered if you reply.
You should reply every now and then.

Speaker 8 It's fun to reply.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 25 There is no point in Twitter.

Speaker 1 There is no point. Exactly.
But like replying should not be frowned upon.

Speaker 9 No.

Speaker 1 I think the people, the 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.

Speaker 9 Except for skin payless.

Speaker 11 It's not even in the mud.

Speaker 16 I just like, I take it.

Speaker 11 I usually don't take it seriously at all. And then yesterday I'm like replying, getting honest replies, and then everyone's being like, you're a fucking idiot.
This is wrong.

Speaker 11 It's like, no, you're wrong. And then it's like, wait, no, this is never getting settled.

Speaker 9 But I was right.

Speaker 8 There's no winner of this debate.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 11 Besides me, but besides you.

Speaker 16 Yeah, you did win.

Speaker 1 Okay, PFT.

Speaker 8 My Fire Fest of the Week is that I let Billy Football inject chemicals into my body. Yeah.
Like, not as a joke.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 35 Correct.

Speaker 1 So your body's not like, your body can't be like, oh, this is just a prank.

Speaker 9 What does it inject?

Speaker 8 Research chemicals.

Speaker 14 So what does that mean, though?

Speaker 1 they're researching them still i hate

Speaker 8 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 it's whatever it is billy was so incompetent when it came to the uh 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.

Speaker 8 It's going to be on PM TV, which I think comes out tonight.

Speaker 8 But, no, Thursday night. Thursday.

Speaker 2 We'll see this on Friday.

Speaker 29 It will be out by the time this release is.

Speaker 8 But Billy filled up these syringes, and he just started that sentence alone.

Speaker 8 He started to laugh, and

Speaker 14 he got a case of the giggles.

Speaker 8 You never want your doctor to have a case of the giggles as he's about to inject you.

Speaker 8 And then he starts doing the thing, you know how you see in like ER and shows on TV where they flick the vial to get the bubbles to go to the top to get rid of the air bubbles.

Speaker 8 Billy's holding the syringe upside down and flicking the vials.

Speaker 9 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 8 And I have to stop him and tell him what to do. And then I put my arm out and Billy took an actual hypodermic needle, put it into my skin.

Speaker 21 Insulin needle, insulin needle.

Speaker 8 And injected chemicals that are God knows what. A year psycho.

Speaker 9 And

Speaker 8 then afterwards, I sat there for like 15 minutes. just seriously reevaluating all the choices that I've made to leave myself to that place in life.
Yep. And also just kind of

Speaker 8 thinking through worst-case scenarios of things that could happen to me because I let Billy Football inject me with medicine that he basically invented.

Speaker 11 Have you noticed any side effects?

Speaker 8 That's in your head. I was pretty strong at the gym.
I did go

Speaker 8 to the gym to work out yesterday just to test it out.

Speaker 23 And

Speaker 2 I think they might have worked.

Speaker 15 So, yeah, I was going to say.

Speaker 1 The the biggest question is when's the next injection?

Speaker 9 It's never going to happen. What? It's never going to happen.

Speaker 1 I mean, you have to stay on the cycle. No, it's never going to happen.

Speaker 21 No, it's just, I mean, it's a little tune-up.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 15 But what if he needs another tune-up?

Speaker 9 You got to put oil in your car.

Speaker 8 Billy was more nervous before than I was. After it happened, I'm a million times more regretful of it than Billy was.

Speaker 2 Are you scared that this stuff has been researched?

Speaker 9 Yes, yes. Oh, that's a good reason.
Yes.

Speaker 8 That's one of many reasons why I'm scared. I'm also scared of myself.

Speaker 1 Yeah, your own decision-making.

Speaker 8 Yes, that made me very scared of myself.

Speaker 8 Like, just two days ago, I thought it was a good idea to let, of all people,

Speaker 8 Billy football. What?

Speaker 9 Shit.

Speaker 21 So, you know how it came with.

Speaker 10 What?

Speaker 21 You know how it came with two vials?

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Well, because it's a research chemical, they give you two vials and one's placebo.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 16 You got him with the placebo?

Speaker 1 You got saline.

Speaker 9 Oh. Okay.

Speaker 8 So I still let Billy.

Speaker 1 First of all, you're like, now he needs to get the real one.

Speaker 8 First of all, Billy's lying about this. And

Speaker 8 second of all, I still let Billy.

Speaker 1 Pink seems to be in the know. I'm not.

Speaker 8 Why do they send you two vials?

Speaker 15 Because research.

Speaker 8 Research.

Speaker 2 One's the placebo.

Speaker 1 He actually put the real one in me, and I'm super strong.

Speaker 8 How do you know which one's the placebo, though?

Speaker 21 Because it came with directions.

Speaker 21 Did you see the charge on your card?

Speaker 8 You asked me to cash app some like Mexican pharmaceutical provider.

Speaker 8 Again, this entire thing has been a laundry list of terrible decisions that I've made.

Speaker 1 But now you have to get the real one.

Speaker 11 Billy basically took the good stuff for himself and then gave you water.

Speaker 8 I don't even know if this is true or not, and frankly, I don't care because what terrifying, I'm not afraid of what's in my body.

Speaker 8 I'm afraid of the fact that I let Billy do this, and I thought it was a good idea to have Billy get messaged.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 8 So I'd like to not

Speaker 2 quitting cold turkey,

Speaker 8 letting Billy inject me with various liquids.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's a hard fire for us to beat.

Speaker 1 My fire fest 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.

Speaker 1 But you know what? It's early. It's early in the season.

Speaker 22 Only way to go, but up.

Speaker 8 Now, would you have made it your game of the year if Lizzie hadn't died?

Speaker 1 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.
Yeah. That was a mistake.
But I'm no coward.

Speaker 9 Yep. I don't fucking back down.

Speaker 15 Puka was out.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Tom Petty.

Speaker 23 We're not backing down.

Speaker 9 Never.

Speaker 9 And Romney.

Speaker 35 That was his thing?

Speaker 1 Romney is... No.
Romney's grandson is on the team. He was one of the wide receivers out.
No shit.

Speaker 33 Yeah, he's actually really good.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Romney's an awesome guy.

Speaker 10 I can't remember what his first name is.

Speaker 16 It's like probably Scout or something.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I I actually think it would be... That's probably the name of like seven of Sam Pondra's kids.

Speaker 10 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 9 Whoa.

Speaker 9 Gunner. This is wild.

Speaker 17 Gunner Romney.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's not Baylor? No, it's Gunnar Romney.

Speaker 8 He's got a kid name. Oh, he's done with football.

Speaker 9 Yeah. Baylor Romney.

Speaker 15 Gunner Romney is a wide receiver who's actually pretty good.

Speaker 24 Baylor is done with football.

Speaker 17 We should have guessed Gayler.

Speaker 9 But that would have been a good idea.

Speaker 31 Gunner is a class.

Speaker 24 Baylor was playing against Baylor.

Speaker 8 Like, Tripper would have been another one.

Speaker 1 I wonder if he's.

Speaker 1 I don't know if he's his son or his grandmother. It must be his grandson.

Speaker 2 It must be grandson.

Speaker 8 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 Baron Trump.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Baron and Bromney.
That would be the greatest setup ever.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Billy?

Speaker 21 My first firefest is that it turns out High Point is in North Carolina, not Virginia. Everyone got like super mad.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I didn't correct you on that because I was just letting you cook. And

Speaker 9 they're right next to each other.

Speaker 10 It's not true. It's in Greensboro.

Speaker 21 High Point did beat UVA lacrosse like a couple years ago, and it was a really big deal. Where were you?

Speaker 9 Oh, you're going on Sunday, right?

Speaker 21 Next Sunday.

Speaker 8 No, this Sunday. You're going this Sunday, the Water Dogs.

Speaker 10 Oh, yes.

Speaker 1 Actually, I have a shirt for you that should be arriving hopefully tomorrow, so you got to look out for it.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 to accept the trophy. Yeah, Jason.
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.

Speaker 2 Can you bring the trophy back?

Speaker 2 I'm going to take it. I'm going to be like, hey, no, no, no.

Speaker 14 This comes with me.

Speaker 8 Yeah, listen, we paid for this.

Speaker 9 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So make sure you get that shirt because it's probably coming to the office.

Speaker 8 I mean, that's the most iconic moment in sports when the commissioner hands the trophy to the owner. Yeah.
Before the players get to touch it,

Speaker 2 Billy, they hand you that trophy, and then you just go full heel on it.

Speaker 15 You're like, who put this all together?

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Look at it right here.

Speaker 21 Jake might also be coming. Great.
Not sure, but it should be a great time. Yeah.

Speaker 15 So let's go, water dogs.

Speaker 21 Don't disappoint us.

Speaker 1 Or do, we don't care.

Speaker 21 And then I burnt myself making salmon.

Speaker 8 Oh, that's tough.

Speaker 9 Where?

Speaker 21 It was like a pan.

Speaker 9 Where did you burn your salmon? In the kitchen? Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 33 Your foot?

Speaker 21 The whole thing of salmon fell on my foot.

Speaker 1 It was a Michael Scott injury.

Speaker 1 You're going to say your hand. Your foot.

Speaker 9 There's no way the top of your hand was hot enough.

Speaker 28 No,

Speaker 1 you're saying the actual.

Speaker 9 So

Speaker 21 I put on my gloves. I was taking the pan out of the oven, and then I put it on the freaking stove top, and then it fell, and one of the pieces of salmon fell on my foot.

Speaker 1 Oh, the salmon actually burned it.

Speaker 16 Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 So it is a Michael Scott.

Speaker 22 You got burned by a fish.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 8 That's tough. That's a tough.

Speaker 1 And you have to eat salmon because you can't eat red beef.

Speaker 16 I'm cutting back.

Speaker 9 Wow.

Speaker 8 Yeah. That is rough, Billy.

Speaker 10 Sorry. Salmon's good.

Speaker 21 Tuna is the beef of the sea. Salmon's the chicken of the sea.

Speaker 31 Tuna.

Speaker 1 Tuna's the chicken of the sea. Tuna is the beef of of the sea.

Speaker 9 I like that. Literally on the can.

Speaker 9 It's red. It's red.
It's on the cans.

Speaker 2 I like that.

Speaker 9 Beef of the sea.

Speaker 11 Simpson one?

Speaker 8 Yeah, the chicken of the sea. Is it chicken or is it fat shrimp?

Speaker 9 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 21 Right, bubblegump?

Speaker 1 Bubblegump is shrimp. Yeah.

Speaker 15 So tuna cans literally say chicken of the sea.

Speaker 9 Were you cooking barefoot?

Speaker 21 Yeah, I was cooking barefoot because I was

Speaker 9 barefoot and pregnant. That's the Billy football way in the kitchen.

Speaker 1 Dance on a Saturday night. All right, Jake, finish this off.

Speaker 24 Yeah, so I love Roeback. Me and Billy Rock, my Roback, are Roback, and I lost one of my favorite Roback shirts.

Speaker 16 Oh, no.

Speaker 1 Where could we ever find more?

Speaker 24 It's a blue shirt, but I'm really devastated. What's on it? I wear it like three or four days a week.

Speaker 26 I wear Roback three or four days a week. The same is shirt.

Speaker 9 This one, but blue. Okay.
I'm watching YouTube.

Speaker 8 Tell you what. I'll get you another one.

Speaker 8 Yeah, just because we like you so much,

Speaker 8 I'm going to get you another Roback.

Speaker 15 We're going to make sure that gets you.

Speaker 24 Luckily, I can use 20% off of this.

Speaker 9 Yes.

Speaker 10 Yeah, no, I'm not going to be able to do that.

Speaker 10 You will be reimbursing me.

Speaker 25 Co-take for it, but I will get you another one.

Speaker 26 Yeah, it's devastating. That is devastating.
That's absolutely devastating.

Speaker 9 Okay,

Speaker 1 let's do numbers. Hank, have you gotten this before?

Speaker 1 What? The number.

Speaker 4 Correct.

Speaker 4 I don't know.

See ya for details.

Speaker 21 The craziest stat is that the

Speaker 21 probability of not guessing the number is equivalent to guessing the ball 20 times.

Speaker 9 That's just not fucking true. That's why whatsoever.

Speaker 8 Hank, do you want to take 12 for Seattle?

Speaker 19 No.

Speaker 9 All right, I'm going to take 12.

Speaker 8 Okay. Let's go 12s.

Speaker 17 13. 26.

Speaker 24 We are going for his three here. We have never gotten as a group three in a row.
Oh, wow.

Speaker 9 We've gotten two twice.

Speaker 8 A lot of times 69.

Speaker 1 All right, I'll go with.

Speaker 11 I'm just making up fucking stats.

Speaker 1 I'll go with 99. I'll go with 70.

Speaker 1 I'll go with 79 for when the Sonics won the NBA title.

Speaker 8 Love it.

Speaker 23 Let's go to Seattle. This one's 20.

Speaker 8 20. For the fine people of the Pacific Northwest.

Speaker 12 Hank, what's your number?

Speaker 1 13.

Speaker 21 13. Is 69 in this one?

Speaker 33 Yes. With the new balls, are we sure?

Speaker 1 Why? Because it just hasn't come up like

Speaker 1 once in the

Speaker 9 15 times you've done it.

Speaker 8 What do we got? What do we got? What do we got?

Speaker 9 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Oh, 32.

Speaker 15 I saw the two, and I I thought it was going to be a 12.

Speaker 1 That would have been all time. 32.
Who'd you pick, Hank?

Speaker 8 13. Oh, that's not 32.

Speaker 1 Nope. Not even close to 32.
All right. We'll see everyone on Monday.

Speaker 8 Love you guys.

Speaker 8 12 would have been so good.

Speaker 9 Animal fact?

Speaker 2 Armadillos are the only animal that also has leprosy besides humans.

Speaker 2 I'm coming for your love of you. Shine

Speaker 2 I'm coming for your love of you.

Speaker 2 Take me down,

Speaker 2 away.

Speaker 2 The days are my days that I shine away.

Speaker 2 I'm coming for your lover, J,

Speaker 2 Needless to say,

Speaker 2 I hope to send it about beats on a little way.

Speaker 2 Seven and life is okay. Stay after me.

Speaker 2 I like to play it to be changed, starving, starving, starving, starving.

Speaker 2 I like the bad thing to say, starving.

Speaker 2 Disappointment.

Speaker 2 I'll be coming for you anyway.

Speaker 2 Be shy and
