Speaker 2 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 1 Talk about his career, talk a little NFL preview with him. Great interview.
We also have Who's Back of the Week, the Mount Rushmore of Things That It Sucks to Be Late To.

Speaker 1 Correct? Is that how I did I phrase it correctly? I think so. Things you don't want to be late to.
Don't want to be late to.

Speaker 1 And that is also the debut of Team Hank by himself because he completely stabbed everyone else in the back and threw them all overboard.

Speaker 1 We have some real football to talk about, College Football Week Zero.

Speaker 4 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the hole 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 6 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 let's go.

Speaker 1 Now in the street, there is violence,

Speaker 1 and then a lot of work to be done.

Speaker 1 No place to hang out on washing,

Speaker 1 and then I can't blame all of the sounds. Oh, no, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue,

Speaker 1 and then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue. Part of my take

Speaker 1 Today is Monday, August 29th,

Speaker 1 and Nebraska is not back.

Speaker 6 Well, Nebraska is kind of very much back.

Speaker 1 Scott Frost

Speaker 6 has been doing. Scott Frost on the hot seat already.
If he wasn't going into the season, he is now. I saw an interesting stat.
This was on the CFB football

Speaker 1 Reddit account on Twitter.

Speaker 6 They said after yesterday's loss, Scott Frost is now 15 and 30 at Nebraska. Bo Polini was fired after going 67 and 27.

Speaker 6 If Frost wins his next 50 games in a row, he would still have a worse record at Nebraska than Bo did.

Speaker 1 Oof, that's tough.

Speaker 1 So real football is back because we got to watch real college football on Saturday. Scott Frost, god damn it, that guy just keeps doing it to himself where every year it's like

Speaker 1 Nebraska is good. They got a great, you know, new defense.

Speaker 8 They got a lot of transfer portals, new quarterback.

Speaker 1 What are they going to do this year to fuck themselves over? Oh, how about go up by 11 and then try an on-side kick when you have all the momentum?

Speaker 1 And the best part about it is, Did you know that Nebraska, this is actually the first year under Scott Frost that they have a special teams coordinator?

Speaker 6 No, I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they finally installed a special teams coordinator. Scott Frost also finally gave up play calling duty.
And part of when he gave up play calling duty, asked what he's going to be doing.

Speaker 1 He said, quote, I'll be able to go over and help with special teams as they're taking the field. So Scott Frost probably called in the onside kick.

Speaker 1 And on top of all that, he has an offensive coordinator for the first time. It's not Scott Frost.

Speaker 1 And he already took, it took one game for him to throw his offensive coordinator coordinator under the bus.

Speaker 1 He said, I think our offensive staff has to learn you've got to be a little more creative in this league. That's after one game.
So that's

Speaker 6 a lot like what Mike McCarthy used to do, which getting an offensive coordinator and then giving him play calling responsibility is actually great for a head coach, especially one that plans on losing a few games, because then you can always take back the play calling responsibilities and be like, I'm going to fix this one.

Speaker 6 It hasn't had enough Scott Frost input. So that's what the real issue is.
He shuffled the deck. So when you said that he just got a new special teams coordinator.

Speaker 1 No, he just got a special team.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So let's make sure we're first time.

Speaker 8 Very specific.

Speaker 6 They're innovative in Nebraska. They now have a person who's in charge of special teams.

Speaker 6 I think Scott Frost might not have called that on-side kick because it's like, you know how when people get air fryers and all of a sudden they just start air frying everything and that's the only way that they cook now?

Speaker 6 So that's like having a special teams coordinator. Now you have a guy who's in charge of that.
And so now he's going to like go overboard and have too much input. Yeah.

Speaker 6 So maybe Scott Frost needs to not only take play calling responsibilities back back from the offensive coordinator, but also from the special teams coordinator.

Speaker 1 By the way, air fryer, side note, everyone, when we did our leftovers draft, they're like chicken wings. You got to pop them in the air fryer.
You're just recooking them. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That doesn't count as a leftover anymore. Agreed.

Speaker 1 That's not in the spirit of the debate. People were like, air fryer, dude, air fryer.
It's like, well, that's, yeah, of course. If you recook them, if you refry them, yeah, they'll be good.

Speaker 6 Yeah, as a man that loves chicken wings, who would like to be buried under six feet of chicken wings when I die, I will be the first to tell you that chicken wings, not a good leader.

Speaker 1 Not a good leftover at all. Not a good leftover.
Yeah, Scott Frost did say,

Speaker 1 if I had it over, I wouldn't make the call. So he did.
That's good. He did kind of cop to the on-side kick.

Speaker 1 And I just like that we get these random college football games where every now and then when they play overseas, you get media that has nothing to do with college football.

Speaker 1 So an Irish media member asked him point blank if he would think about stepping down as coach.

Speaker 6 Fuck yes. And he said no.

Speaker 1 But it's great that the question was asked.

Speaker 6 They call it sacked over there. We'd be sacked sacked after this game?

Speaker 1 The guy, some Irish guy walked into the fucking news conference and was like, wait, you're the coach and you did all that. I don't even follow football, but you should step down.

Speaker 6 I wish he had asked him, like, do you regret not having your offensive line puke more during practice to prepare them for Ireland?

Speaker 6 And oh, they also had the free beer because the internet systems went down inside the stadium. So in Ireland, they were giving out free beer to people, which is incredible.

Speaker 6 I don't think they would ever do that in the United States. They would just, like, if you can't make money off it in the United States, they would just be like, well, nobody's drinking this.

Speaker 6 In Ireland, that's better than Christmas, Thanksgiving, whatever holidays they celebrate over there. St.
Patrick's Day.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we had a great cup snake. It was great to see football is back.
And so, yeah, Scott Frost back on the, I mean, like, that's the worst part.

Speaker 1 We talk at length about, you know, as a fan, you don't want to be a primetime game.

Speaker 1 If you're Scott Frost and you're a Nebraska fan, you don't want to be the first game of the entire season and have literally everyone who has just been like begging for football for nine months is going to watch that game and come away with it being like, damn, Scott Frost is a moron.

Speaker 6 It's also crazy that they would call that onside kick in the first game of the season because it's not like you have tape on their special teams and you're like, oh, this guy runs back no matter what and puts his head down on a kickoff.

Speaker 6 Scott Frost was just like, you know what? He was trying to make a play out there.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And it was also just the perfect dichotomy of Scott Frost, who should have all the talent and going up against Northwestern with Fitzgerald, who's just an awesome coach.

Speaker 1 And I did see that one Nebraska fan. I think it might have been parody, but I'm just going to assume.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to hope that it wasn't, was tweeting that, of course, the Irish refs helped out Fitzgerald. Oh, Fitzy.

Speaker 6 Never bet against a Fitzy in Ireland.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was like, that's why this game went this way. I love that.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah, but it was...

Speaker 6 It was a good way to start the season. I like having games in weird locations to start the season.
They should play a football game on an aircraft carrier.

Speaker 1 I knew you were going to say battleship. Yeah.

Speaker 6 I love that when they start college basketball on a fucking aircraft carrier. How sick would it be to have a football game on one?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it would. That's back the season, by the way.
Yeah. Season one in San Diego.
Yeah, nice. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, so other news. We missed on Thursday, we taped early, Aaron Donald assault again.

Speaker 1 It's actually great because it's grown to a point where

Speaker 1 Schefter, I think he did say assault again.

Speaker 1 He did actually fact check and was like, under actual laws, this is assault. And now he has his ESPN colleagues being like, this is just football practice.

Speaker 1 Like not realizing that Schefter's now in on the jokes. Yeah, yeah, Schefter.
He knew how ridiculous the first one was, so he doubled down with this one.

Speaker 1 And I saw someone on NFL Live being like, people who like, this is what happens when you have, you know, football practice in training camp and two teams going against each other.

Speaker 1 Fights happen, which I totally agree with. But like, let's give Shep.
Schefter is joking now. Yes, he's joking.

Speaker 6 Well, it's funny. He's joking because he knows the assault punchline is a thing.
Right. But I actually think if you gave him truth serum, he would be like, yeah, it is a serious.

Speaker 1 No, well, it is technically assault. He's technically

Speaker 1 the law. Yeah, he's not wrong.

Speaker 6 Unless it's Aaron Donald should be allowed to do it. Aaron Donald can do whatever he wants.

Speaker 1 Aaron Donald, yeah, that guy is so scary

Speaker 1 for

Speaker 1 mostly on the field, but then he'll just be like, you know, training with knives and swinging two helmets at people. Yeah.
You'd be like, oh, okay, so he's just going to be scary.

Speaker 1 I mean, I guess it's still on the field, but it's kind of off the field because they weren't playing and he was just swinging helmets at people.

Speaker 6 My favorite part of that entire situation was how McVay walked up to him and was like very calmly putting his hand out like Chris Pratt in Jurassic, being like, whoa, whoa, big fellow.

Speaker 1 Easy, easy, Aaron.

Speaker 6 And Aaron's just like huffing like the Hulk with two helmets in his hand.

Speaker 1 He was one step. Sean McVay was one step away from taking out like a tranquilizer dart.
Yeah. Like, Aaron Donald's going to kill us all.
Put him down.

Speaker 1 But it is crazy because people are like, Miles Garrett got suspended six games. Like, yeah, this was practice.
Fights happen in training camp.

Speaker 1 I wasn't shocked to see, yeah, maybe you probably don't want Aaron Donald with two helmets in his hands, but Aaron, if you like, Aaron Donald gets in, tries to fight the entire Cincinnati Bengals team in joint practice, and be like, duh.

Speaker 6 Well, also, when Miles Garrett did it, it was against Mason Rudolph. Yeah.
And so everyone was like, yeah, he's got a punchable face. I can understand that.
Right.

Speaker 6 And Aaron Donald, in this situation, was taking on the Bengals, who he just beat in the Super Bowl. So you kind of have like, you know, there's a difference there.

Speaker 6 I don't want to victim shame Big Cap, but I'm very clearly victim shaming Mason Rudolph.

Speaker 1 I'm 100% on Aaron Donald's side. And that he probably is like, this sucks that I have to keep going through practice and training camp.
I want to play real games. Give me a helmet.

Speaker 1 I'm going to swing it at someone.

Speaker 6 I'm very much on his side just like I'm on the side of the robots that will eventually take over this planet. Like, I want to be on the right side of history, and next time I find myself in a room.

Speaker 6 with Aaron Donald, I want him to know that I do not hold this against him. I'm on your side no matter what.
Please don't hurt me, Mr. Donald.

Speaker 6 And it's interesting because now I think in a game where it was Miles Garrett that did that, one, it was in a primetime game, which made it way more visible.

Speaker 1 Thursday night.

Speaker 6 Thursday night, yeah. At the end, everybody was watching the game still.

Speaker 6 So that is, that falls under the jurisdiction of Roger Goodell's fake cop policy in the NFL. In practice,

Speaker 1 I don't think that's a league call, is it? No, no, it's not.

Speaker 8 I think it's a Rams.

Speaker 6 It's a Rams call.

Speaker 1 No, it's a total Rams call. So the Rams.
Yes, they're not going to.

Speaker 6 So the Rams get to decide whether or not the best player in the NFL should be allowed to play in games for them.

Speaker 1 I think the Rams will probably have someone go up to Aaron Donald and be like, hey, we were thinking maybe just finding you like $10,000 just for show. And he'll be like, no.

Speaker 1 And then be like, okay, yeah, we agree. Yeah.
Like, sounds good.

Speaker 6 Or just like, say that you're sending him to anger management.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 Talk about your feelings for 30 minutes.

Speaker 1 You don't want to send Aaron Donald to anger management. No, he would want all the anger.

Speaker 6 He would beat up the therapist.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and all, like, you just want him to be angry all the time because that's why he's the best player in the NFL.

Speaker 6 They should send him to reverse anger management and have somebody just like low-key insulting him him and poking him with a cattle iron. He's getting him more and more angry.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. All right, other things.
Preseason is officially done. Thank God.
We're done with it.

Speaker 1 Every preseason is the exact same way where week one happens in preseason. We're all excited.
This is cool. And then we're just like, fuck it.
Let's get to real football.

Speaker 1 Like week three of preseason is a total fuck it. Let's just get to football.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 This isn't even the dress rehearsal. That's the one thing that I miss about having

Speaker 6 four preseason games is week three we'd always say, oh, this is the dress rehearsal. Right.
The starters are going to play a half. They just threw that out the window entirely.

Speaker 6 I wish somebody would do a correlation of if there is any possible relevance to how your team performs in the preseason compared to the regular season. Well, it's just, we have enough data on there.

Speaker 6 I would assume that some nerd has taken a look at it and come up with a formula saying, like, statistically, if you don't win a game, you're X amount less likely to make the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Right. And it's also all done just like narratives that you just take.
Like, people will last year, remember Aaron Rodgers with the whole holdout and everything, and they got killed by the Saints.

Speaker 1 Everyone's like, oh, yeah, look at what he did, and then they won MVP. So it's just whatever narrative you want to go with.

Speaker 7 Last year, the Rams went 0-3. Oh, there we go.

Speaker 1 So Commander, Super Bowl, Terry McLaurin. We called it.
Bears went 3-0. So did the Jets.
That was big, Billy. Huge, huge.

Speaker 10 Strevler won all three games.

Speaker 1 Streveler, yeah. Teams back.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Joe Flacco looks great.

Speaker 6 The highlight of the preseason, this is a highlight that I hadn't even seen until we started down. We had to make you aware of it.
We sat down to tape part of my take.

Speaker 6 Poe, the Ravens mascot, getting carted off the field after injuring his leg in a,

Speaker 6 was it a halftime?

Speaker 1 Yeah. It was like a halftime four players against mascots.

Speaker 6 Yeah, and he,

Speaker 1 credit to Poe, which I... I expected him to do this, but still needs credit to not take off the mascot head when he gets on the cart.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because you could, like a lesser mascot will take it off and be like, there's a human under here. No, no, no.
You keep that on. I hope he keeps it on for surgery if he needs surgery on his knee.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you keep it on forever. That's what you do when you sign up to be a mascot.

Speaker 6 So I'm not a doctor. I have examined the film in Slow-Mo.
I think he's faking it. I think these mascots, they do this.
You saw Blooper. Like, he knew that the cameras were on the screen.

Speaker 1 He said Blooper is just insulting kids.

Speaker 6 He's being a bully out there.

Speaker 1 He's fat fucking. I think he's ashamed of himself.

Speaker 6 He's fat, but he's also like.

Speaker 1 He's fat fuck, too.

Speaker 6 He moves quickly for a big man. But Poe, I think Poe's faking it.
I watched the tape over and over again. I saw the left knee.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened with the left knee. Watch the video.

Speaker 6 Slow it down if you can. There's no buckling of the left knee.
In fact, I don't think birds have ACLs or PCLs or anything like that. Billy will fact-check me on that, I'm sure, quite accurately.

Speaker 6 But I do not see anything in this video that says that there's an actual injury. I think he's milking it for the views.
I think he's an attention whore. I think he's a me-first kind of guy.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But he's a good mascot.

Speaker 6 But he did keep the helmet on.

Speaker 1 He did. Or

Speaker 1 mascot.

Speaker 6 And the lady was starting to pet his beak as he was going into the tunnel.

Speaker 1 I loved it. It was great.

Speaker 1 Anytime a mascot gets hurt, or like we've mentioned it before, Jackson Deville or the Nuggets mascot who, like, I think passed out while being lowered, just you just got to keep the head on and just let everyone think that it's just an actual mascot, not a real human being under there.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 1 We don't want to have the illusion be broken that we have to actually feel bad for a real human being tearing his ACL. We want to just think Poe did.

Speaker 6 Dude, if you get seriously injured in a mascot outfit, it's still funny. Yes.
It's actually

Speaker 1 hilarious. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Aaron Rodgers should be in jail. He went on Joe Rogan.

Speaker 1 I'm going to have to go through this interview with a fine-tooth comb, but he admitted to playing games on Percocets, which is just a tradition, I think, for Green Bay Packer quarterbacks.

Speaker 6 Well, it was very obvious when he slips into the southern accent. Right.
Those are the games that he's on Percocets.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 What else did he, I mean, he obviously said that he was trying to

Speaker 1 fake everyone out with the immunized we knew that immunized comments so he said so I'm gonna I'm gonna have a lawyer go through the transcript and just get an entire list of all the things that are felonies that he admitted to what's shocking though if you had gone back in time like a year maybe let's just say like eight months after the immunization thing happened and you were to say Aaron Rodgers goes on part of my take before he goes on Joe Rogan you would have gotten like plus 2,000 odds yeah big time he also he said that uh there was the NFL brought around Stooges to talk about the vaccine, and he said to Joe Rogan, I mopped the floor with him.

Speaker 1 And I just thought that's exactly how Billy thinks every interaction happens in his life where he's like, yeah, I mopped the floor with those guys in this argument.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I think if Billy took ayahuasca, he would actually be very similar to Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
They would have

Speaker 1 a lot of ways.

Speaker 6 Almost the same amount of Super Bowls.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He only has you beat by one, but you still have time.
You have age on your side.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to think what else happened. Anything else?

Speaker 6 The Brian Robinson thing just happened a couple hours ago, so he got shot in a carjacking attempt. So apparently he's going to be okay.
But anytime you get shot multiple times, it's not a good thing.

Speaker 1 I'd say no.

Speaker 6 I hope Colin Coward doesn't go on the radio tomorrow and talk about how he deserved it.

Speaker 1 That and people talking about their fantasy teams online, as always. We're in that season right now, right before the season starts, and any type of injury or tragic thing happens like this one.

Speaker 1 And just like clockwork, some fucking moron's going to get online and be like, oh, oh, sick, I handcuffed that.

Speaker 6 It kind of sucks too, because like when I saw the news about him getting shot,

Speaker 6 obviously my first reaction was like, I hope he's okay. This is a tragedy that happens to him.
But then I started thinking like when other players get injured, my mind...

Speaker 6 usually goes to things about football. But when it's something, it takes something this serious to realize that there are human beings out there.
Yeah. But yeah, I hope he's doing okay.

Speaker 6 We are an anti-carjacking podcast after all. And anti-gunshots.

Speaker 1 Yes. Gunshots are bad.

Speaker 1 Usually. Yeah, I'd say they're very bad.
What are you going to say, Billy? You sprouted up. I'll say for two who's back.
Okay, all right, nice. You got a couple who's back.
Oh, Rory. Rory's back.

Speaker 1 Awesome, awesome golf final round. Scottie Scheffler just completely choked it away.
I think he was up five strokes.

Speaker 6 Huge choke job, Jay.

Speaker 1 Huge choke job. But Rory.

Speaker 1 Sportsmanship. What? Oh, yeah, he went up to Scottie Scheffler's.
I just apologize to his parents.

Speaker 6 Yeah,

Speaker 6 that's kind of a son cuck in subtle emasculation.

Speaker 1 Like going up to someone's dad. You did do that, Jake.
Yeah, you do do that. He went up to Scotty Scheffler's dad and was like, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 From your son. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Was it 18 and 6 and a half?

Speaker 1 Yeah. And Max got three.

Speaker 1 And charged for a six.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying that

Speaker 1 we're like matchmakers, but a little birdie told me that Max and our Pervert of the Year and Blake of the Year went out to dinner and had a great time, a budding friendship.

Speaker 1 They were spotted on the course. Yeah, no, I know.
They went out to dinner after it.

Speaker 1 And they had a great time.

Speaker 6 Max told me that Blake's advice to him was just straight up: the pervert of the year is a great stepping stone to maybe one day become a Blake. That's true.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to think what has.

Speaker 9 Not all Blakes are perverts.

Speaker 6 No, not all perverts are Blakes, but all Blakes are perverts.

Speaker 1 It's like when you look at the eventual,

Speaker 1 like when a team wins a World Series and they go back and they're like, well, they had an incredible farm system like five years ago.

Speaker 1 If Max ever wins Blake of the Year, it would be like, well, yeah, he won Pervert of the Year back in 2022. He's hot.
He was building something. Exactly.

Speaker 1 Clearly, he had a program that he was establishing.

Speaker 6 He's adding to his resume. Dude, he shot a 62 on Friday.
Yeah. Like it's honestly.
He still didn't finish top 10, right? It's a little confusing.

Speaker 1 No, he did. Oh, he did? Top 5?

Speaker 1 Did he finish top 5?

Speaker 6 Yeah, because Schuffler choked. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 5 Well, and he was talking about it too, but there was controversy, not controversy, but it's the only championship where the leader starts with more strokes.

Speaker 1 Right. Right.
So

Speaker 5 Scotty, I mean, he did choke. He had a two-stroke advantage and still lost.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he choked big time. Yeah,

Speaker 6 it was a big... There's no sugarcoating that.

Speaker 6 If you're the supposed number one player in the world, you should be able to put that away.

Speaker 6 Credit to us, though, because we're the first people, I think, on the planet that told you that Rory McElroy was playing the best golf of his career before the season even started.

Speaker 1 And Jay Moynihan probably is so pumped that his, you know, because Rory's been the most vocal PGA tour guy. Hmm.
Hmm. Hmm.
Hmm. PGA rigged? Interesting.
PGA might be rigged, is what I'm thinking. Hmm.

Speaker 1 Also, I saw our friend Barstill Banks had a blog he reposted. But why does the PGA tour not do the big check? If they did the big check, they would kill the live.
Yeah, they did.

Speaker 1 And they just made a giant, giant check to give to Rory. Like, that is a perfect case where you show up, Rory wins, you get, I'm talking like

Speaker 8 half half a basketball court check.

Speaker 1 That would be good. And just like, here you go.
Here's $18 million. Because the bigger the check, people are going to be like, holy fuck, look at that check.

Speaker 1 Like, I want Rory when they do those simulations, like, look how small the Earth is compared to the galaxy. I want to look like that when Rory's standing next to his check.

Speaker 6 It would also be sick if they just had an actual Brinks truck that drove all the money out onto the green.

Speaker 1 It's just WWE. Yeah, you like drive it onto the green.

Speaker 1 Money in the bank, have a ladder at the 18th hole.

Speaker 6 Have Tiger have a few pops get behind the wheel of the Brinkstruck and he speeds it out onto the grid.

Speaker 1 It doesn't hit the brake. Not at all yet.
At all.

Speaker 6 You have to catch it. You have to jump on the back of it as it's going past you.
And then his ex-wife is chasing him with a seven-iron.

Speaker 1 That's I think we just fixed golf. Yeah,

Speaker 1 we fixed golf once and for all.

Speaker 1 But yeah,

Speaker 1 that was some great drama down the street. Anytime a guy chokes in golf, like on a Sunday afternoon, it's instantly got to turn it on.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 I mean, Schuffler's kind of earning her a little bit of a reputation as a choke artist now.

Speaker 1 A little bit. a little bit.
And Rory, well, Rory was the choker, and now he passes it off. Yeah.
So good for Rory. All right, let's do Who's Back? And then we'll get to Jason McCordy.

Speaker 1 Then we'll get to Hank hijack jacking Mount Rushmore season and making his own team.

Speaker 6 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 6 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress impress your guests.

Speaker 6 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo style chicken paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 6 Seriously guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 All right, who's back of the week, Hank?

Speaker 5 My who's back was Max. I also, so that was my who's back of the week.
The 62 on Friday, bogey free golf.

Speaker 5 Obviously, he didn't win, but that's pretty close.

Speaker 1 I've come close.

Speaker 5 Big time players making big time plays. It's big.

Speaker 1 It's huge.

Speaker 5 And then my who's back, reality TV, PMT YouTube, just YouTube in general.

Speaker 5 We're 2,000 people away from 400,000 on YouTube. We put out the Mount Rushmore Everest video.
I don't think we talked about that on here. And we have a whole disc golf series coming out.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I actually, so I usually don't go back and watch the videos that we've made because I'll see like the highlights and stuff and the clips that we we get made.

Speaker 6 But I was very curious to see what the Mount Rushmore equivalent, how that turned out. So, I watched most of it.

Speaker 6 It's just as intense as I remember. I can't believe we didn't die off.

Speaker 1 I would say that if you're scared of heights, if you're someone who gets queasy easily, don't watch that video. Just let it play so that we get the actual views.
But what an accomplishment.

Speaker 1 Another round of applause for us. Great job.

Speaker 6 Also, the scene where Billy started talking about how dogs can't run long distances

Speaker 6 and immediately gets countered.

Speaker 1 Which is

Speaker 1 Coming across as,

Speaker 1 I think I said it in the video, he's the jock Dwight Schroot the entire time is just great for everyone else to see.

Speaker 6 You guys would have got lost out there.

Speaker 1 Billy. Oh, yeah.
He definitely would have. I also didn't read the trails.

Speaker 6 I love how you still don't acknowledge the fact that the Iditarod is a race that only dogs can accomplish.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 10 Just read the book, Born to Run. It's about running.

Speaker 1 You read the whole book? I read the whole book. The whole book.

Speaker 8 It was a really good book.

Speaker 6 And does it say that the Eidarod does not exist?

Speaker 10 Humans can outrun horses in long distances. It's a thing.

Speaker 1 Trust me. Okay.

Speaker 5 What about that Diablo movie where the horses race across the desert?

Speaker 1 There's a

Speaker 10 horse marathons.

Speaker 1 Okay. Wait, there are horse marathons?

Speaker 8 But they finish slower than humans? Yep.

Speaker 6 That's tough to believe. Dude,

Speaker 1 imagine what a...

Speaker 5 26.2 miles off the horse.

Speaker 1 Not the fastest humans. Like the average human.
No, not an average human.

Speaker 6 You're not talking about the average horses then. Right.

Speaker 10 Humans were able to run farther distance over time, and that's why they became the apex predators.

Speaker 6 But dogs can run the iditterods, and humans can't.

Speaker 1 Yeah, thumbs helped. I'm not going to be able to explain that.

Speaker 6 Also, our brains had something to do with it, probably. Weapons, the wheel,

Speaker 1 fire. It's a thing.

Speaker 6 We invented fire. There's a bunch of stuff we did.

Speaker 5 But then on the Barcelon Sports main channel, Surviving Barcelona Season 2 is coming out all week this week. It's good reality TV fun for the whole family.

Speaker 1 We have a horse in the race with Rudy. Pardon my cheese steak.
Check it out. We had him wear the shirt, paid him, and he's been eating cheese.
He ate cheese steak all week, so hopefully he wins.

Speaker 1 Okay, PFT.

Speaker 6 I got a couple of them. My first who's back of the week is Tom Brady.
Yeah. Tom Brady's back.
Sorry, Bill, you can go ahead. All I just want to say is I think Tom Brady

Speaker 1 looks great. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Thank you, Hank. Thank you for bringing that up.
He looks young.

Speaker 1 I think he looks just crazy young.

Speaker 6 I think he looks like abnormally young right now.

Speaker 1 He looks so young he could be maybe on Real Housewives of Pick a City.

Speaker 6 It's kind of wild that he took the last couple weeks off with a mystery absence and then he came back and his face just looks real young.

Speaker 1 No, dude, don't worry. He had a deviated septum, so he got that fixed because of breathing.

Speaker 6 Oh, okay. He's probably also been drinking a lot of water.
I know that that helps you look 15 years younger at times. So young.

Speaker 1 Real young. Incredibly young.

Speaker 6 Spry.

Speaker 10 The quote was when asked what's going on, he said, I'm 45. A lot of shit going on.

Speaker 1 I actually, I'm going to defend him on that. Like, the older you get, there's just shit going on.

Speaker 1 I think that's that's just like until you retire, you just have shit going on where it's like, yeah, I got to go deal with some. Like,

Speaker 1 if I had like four days off where I could just break from everything, I could get a lot. Like, there's a lot of shit I could do that I've been like neglecting.

Speaker 5 And I'm sure, like, you know, Giselle is probably like, come on, we got shit going on. You don't have to go to training camp.
You're fucking Tom Brady. He's like, yeah.

Speaker 5 You're kind of right. I can probably not.

Speaker 1 Giselle was like, yeah, like, Tom, we need you at home. And also, your eyebrows need to be redone.

Speaker 6 And also, like, your face moves too much and shows too much emotion when you think and talk. So, maybe we could do something about that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 6 So, that he's going to have a great poker face, though. No one's going to know if that's true.
Yeah, if he's going for it, if he's faking the hard count or what? Yeah.

Speaker 5 Sounds jealous, but that's all right.

Speaker 1 He looks really young. Honestly, yes.

Speaker 6 Hank, you got me. I am jealous of Tom Brady.
He's the best football player of all time. He's married to a supermodel, and he's got like $700 million in the bank.
I will tell you that.

Speaker 1 And he's found a way to not age. Yeah, somehow.
Incredible.

Speaker 6 It's all incredible. Ponce Tilly.
But I do agree.

Speaker 1 I do agree that he...

Speaker 1 A lot of shit going on. Like, I felt that when he said that.

Speaker 10 I'm going to be honest. I think he looks gaunt.
Like the definition of the word gaunt.

Speaker 1 Okay. Okay.
That's the only way I can. We'll put that in the log.

Speaker 6 Yep. Gaunt.
He's gaunted.

Speaker 11 Yeah. G-A-U-N-T.
Yep.

Speaker 1 We know. Got it.
Yep. Got it.
He's gone.

Speaker 6 What else? My other who's back in the week is French soccer because they're already imploding before the World Cup, which gives Italy a nice little window.

Speaker 6 They're their main competition over in Europe.

Speaker 6 And every year, every four years during the World Cup, France just, like, they get into this mode where they hate each other right when the World Cup training starts.

Speaker 6 And you have players that are, like, sleeping with each other's girlfriends trying to stab each other.

Speaker 5 Didn't they just win?

Speaker 1 France? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was four years ago.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 But...

Speaker 6 Paul Pagba, one of their stars, is now accusing his, I think, his two brothers and a giant gang of extorting him and holding him hostage and trying to get get like 15 million dollars out of him for providing protection for him for the last like seven years.

Speaker 6 Um, so it's a fucked up situation. They said that he says that one of his brothers hired a witch doctor to put a curse on him, which this is this does not bode well for

Speaker 6 El Tri. I think that's what they call themselves, right? I don't know.
The red, white, and blue. I don't know, whatever they are, they're going to lose.

Speaker 1 That's my prediction. I assume you do know and you're saying it's June.

Speaker 6 I think it's El Try. I know that they're the,

Speaker 1 yeah, they're the roosters. They are the rooster.

Speaker 1 i'm gonna have a hard time getting into the world cup this year oh i'm in i'm in already but um i'm officially putting france is a no-bet for me this world cup that's i i agree with you on that it's absolutely true um all right i have a couple who's back uh love is back Connor McGregor posted Instagram story today of his wife giving him head on his boat.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's sick.

Speaker 6 Like Pam and Tommy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was really nice. So no actual nudity, but I mean, it was very clear what was going on, and it was the top of her head and the views of the boat.
I don't, yeah, I don't know why he did that.

Speaker 1 I think he just was like, I haven't trended it in a while.

Speaker 6 Wait, was the boat moving? Was the motor?

Speaker 1 It was, it was docked, and he was just like getting the views, and then a little bit of her head, and like there was a moment where you could see his legs were spread out. So, yeah.
I love his back.

Speaker 1 I love that, yeah.

Speaker 6 Like, it's a consenting couple.

Speaker 1 They're deeply in love.

Speaker 6 We need to normalize that sort of thing. Yeah, it was, it was cool.

Speaker 5 Maybe he was just doing an accidental close friends that he he posted on the

Speaker 1 story. Yeah, yeah.
I really do think he's like, hey, honey, like, I haven't... No one's been talking about me recently.
Can we just...

Speaker 1 You just give me some head and I'll just get the top of your head real quick.

Speaker 6 Or even, I think it would actually be worse if she wasn't giving him head and he was like, can you just act like you're giving me head so I can put this video out here?

Speaker 1 Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 Also in boat news, James Harden throwing a cake off the boat was fucking hilarious.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you guys saw that, but he got a birthday cake and he just tossed it right off the boat. So I think the Sixers might be back.

Speaker 6 That's sick. Did he hit the water?

Speaker 6 Ben Simmons would have missed.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Ben Simmons would have missed.

Speaker 6 Lil Baby also gave him a quarter million dollars.

Speaker 1 I did see that, which that it reminds me of that scene from Donny Brasco when they just give each other money for Christmas. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then he asks them back for, like, he's like, hey, can I get some money back?

Speaker 1 It's got to be really cool when you have rich friends. You're like, I'm just going to give you a quarter million.
And then hopefully when my birthday comes around, you give me a half a million.

Speaker 6 So if you get, if you're James Harden wealthy and you get $250,000,

Speaker 6 do you like take it seriously? Do you spend a job club? No, you're a stash, or do you spend it that night?

Speaker 1 No, it's basically Lil Baby being like, let's go out. Yeah,

Speaker 6 he's like, I want to spend $250,000 tonight. Can I just give it to you?

Speaker 1 I'm going to give you credit for a birthday pass. And then you get to give it.

Speaker 6 And then I'm also the hero that gave you $250,000. Correct.
Did I tell you about the smart?

Speaker 6 Have I said this on the show when I saw Lil Baby?

Speaker 1 Sheeran?

Speaker 6 No, in Atlanta. I did do that, though.
He couldn't pee next to me.

Speaker 6 But in Atlanta for the Super Bowl, we were driving down the street that had all these different strip clubs on either side, bars on either side, and a fucking helicopter lands in the parking lot of the strip club.

Speaker 6 I'm talking like a helicopter is landing in a parking lot from the sky, and then all these people get out, and it's like a camera, a lighting crew, and a microphone guy, and then another guy holding a blinking sign that says, Lil Baby.

Speaker 1 Love it.

Speaker 6 And then Lil Baby gets out of the helicopter, and he just walks into the strip club.

Speaker 1 It's a great way to enter. It was pretty cool.
Badass. And then my other last who's back is foulball guy.
He's back. He's got the internet all upset.

Speaker 1 For what?

Speaker 1 He posted a video. The ushers at Coors Field told him that he couldn't get out of his seat, and he had like a little back and forth.

Speaker 1 And then, obviously, everyone, being losers that they are online, said that foul ball guy is the worst. And they defended the ushers.
Foul ball guy is not the worst.

Speaker 1 He's actually the greatest foulball guy catcher of all time. And then I did like someone was like, dude, you probably didn't play baseball.
And he's like, I actually batted 724 in my senior year.

Speaker 8 So dunk.

Speaker 1 Also, like,

Speaker 5 does that apply to everyone? No one can get out of their shoes.

Speaker 1 That was his point. He was like, you're clearly making this rule for just me, and it was just him because they can't keep him down.

Speaker 1 How about maybe get better foul ball or home run catchers to compete with him?

Speaker 6 Why are we calling him foul ball guys?

Speaker 1 He's a home run guy. Yeah.

Speaker 6 I haven't seen him catch a foul. He forgot his roots a little bit.

Speaker 1 No, he did actually just catch an Isrio

Speaker 1 commemorative ball tonight. In foul territory.
Yeah, in foul territory. Okay.
Fucking badass. Wait, was it? But he catches balls everywhere.

Speaker 6 Was it close to the foul pool?

Speaker 1 No, it looked like it was kind of. Well, he does.
He goes different places. He got pregame routine.
He gets everything.

Speaker 6 I would like to see him either get back to his roots a little bit and catch a foul ball every once in a while.

Speaker 1 I think he's just ball guy.

Speaker 6 Yeah, he's just ball guy or home run guy, which is fine. He's the greatest home run guy to ever do it.

Speaker 1 It's the greatest at everything.

Speaker 6 Yeah, so

Speaker 6 I did see him trending on that, and people were mad. Some people were saying that he was running over people to get the ball.

Speaker 1 That's always a myth, and he does not run over people. You just have to be faster.
Yep. That's just simple.
Okay?

Speaker 1 If you get run over, that's your own like terrible athleticism. Maybe lose some weight and get out of his way.

Speaker 6 I also like the tweet that he put out where it was just like pictures of him like hanging out with kids. He's the pie piper.
He's signing foul balls.

Speaker 1 No, yeah, he's the pie piper of baseballs. Yep.
Just get in line. You'll get a ball.

Speaker 1 All right, Billy, you're who's back.

Speaker 10 So in the spirit of Jake's Fire Fest, no, we didn't cover all my who's backs, but a lot of them. So I was looking for new who's backs as we covered all my who's backs and was on Twitter.

Speaker 6 Guess what's back?

Speaker 10 Game of Thrones spoilers because it's just live on Twitter. So you got to stay off Twitter when Game of Thrones is there.

Speaker 1 Okay. That's what I'm saying.
I really don't.

Speaker 1 So I didn't watch... The original Game of Thrones, I watched all the seasons up until the last season, like before, you know, like I was late to it.

Speaker 1 And I get the spoiler thing, but like, it's Game of Thrones. Like, everyone's going to die.
Your favorite character is going to die. Spoiler.

Speaker 6 And since this is a prequel, we already know what happens after this anyways.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you know what I mean? Like it sucks, it sucks to get spoiled, but it's also one of those shows that like you know everyone's going to die because that's what they do.

Speaker 1 They just kill, they make you love someone, then they kill them.

Speaker 6 Yeah, the person that you love the most will die.

Speaker 1 Will die.

Speaker 6 The person that you hate the most will have sex with their sibling. And then die.

Speaker 1 And then die maybe wildly.

Speaker 6 When you start to love them. Yes.

Speaker 1 Because you're like, oh, that's the new king.

Speaker 6 Yeah, when they realize the error of their wicked ways from before.

Speaker 1 You're like, actually, I kind of like this guy down dead.

Speaker 6 And then once you find yourself going, like, I don't know, 30 minutes without somebody dying, then everybody's going to die.

Speaker 1 Great show.

Speaker 1 Pie Dragon. Pie a dragon.
Great show, though.

Speaker 5 But yeah, everyone's going to die.

Speaker 5 Also, back with that is George Martin is doing like press interviews and he's talking about how he wants to do all this different stuff within the Game of Thrones world and everyone just gets mad because it's like, finish.

Speaker 5 Finish the book.

Speaker 1 Yeah, finish the book.

Speaker 6 Also, what's his name? George R.R. Martin? Yeah.
He's like a massive Jets fan, too.

Speaker 1 George R.R.

Speaker 6 Martin, come on part of my take to discuss everything you have going on, and mostly the Jets.

Speaker 1 Yes, agreed.

Speaker 10 And my other who's back is MILFs. Young Gravy was at the VMA's carpet and kissed Asin's Raised Mom, which is great because we have these MILF shirts on sale in the Barstool store.

Speaker 10 And they say, Man, I love football. That's great.
As the MILF guy at Barstool, it's a great shirt.

Speaker 10 We have a Zach Wilson edition as well. Check it out in the Barstool store.
Love it.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 1 How's your boy Mincy doing? Not good.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Jake.

Speaker 7 My who's back is Hawaii.

Speaker 1 Living World Series champions

Speaker 7 for the fourth time.

Speaker 6 Talking about football. Did you see how bad they got beat?

Speaker 1 Yeah, in football.

Speaker 1 Hey, they're playing in SEC. That was a really tough.

Speaker 1 I was at a bachelor party, so I went to sleep early on Saturday because I got back home. Oh, breaking moves.

Speaker 5 Sitting down, PFT?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 5 The Cowboys are releasing Ben DiNucci.

Speaker 6 That's fine. They're giving more time to catch on somewhere else.
Gucci DiNucci, JMU legend.

Speaker 5 Backup QB job between Cooper Rush and Will Greer.

Speaker 1 Oh, Will Greer.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Will Greer's gonna be a good job. Will Greer.

Speaker 6 Yeah, Ben DiNucci's gonna be fine, man. Like, you saw that interception that he had when he got to start that game, the sidearm off-platform throw.
It was sick. It was an amazing throw.

Speaker 6 Just a better play by the defender. He was also halfway standing out of bounds.

Speaker 1 But Hawaii, yeah, that was. So I went to sleep early because I got back and I was like, I got to sleep.

Speaker 1 And I had Hawaii plus like eight, and that was a tough score to wake up to. 63-10.
They were up 7-0, too. Yeah, but they won the Little League World Series.
Yeah, I don't care about that.

Speaker 7 They outscored a porn 60-5 in six games.

Speaker 6 So they're representing the United States. Yes.

Speaker 1 In the Little League World Series. Okay.

Speaker 1 They won the whole thing. Oh, beat Curson.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's over. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Fuck you, World.
USA, baby.

Speaker 1 I love it.

Speaker 7 They won Mercy Rule. Walk off Mercy.
Oh,

Speaker 6 that's so embarrassing.

Speaker 1 So they're bad for Little League World Series.

Speaker 7 60 to 5 in six games.

Speaker 1 That's crazy.

Speaker 6 Yeah, now, you know what?

Speaker 1 I love that team.

Speaker 6 Go USA.

Speaker 1 I wish they could play play football. Like, I wish the Hawaii Little League team feels like they could have covered a spread against Vanderbilt.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's like there's a debate again.

Speaker 1 Just by the dominance that you've told me, like, I bet you they have some kids that are probably big kids. Island boys.
Yeah. They could fuck someone up.
Is that your only who's back?

Speaker 7 My only one that hasn't been taken.

Speaker 1 Oh, what else got taken? You had Conor McGregor getting ahead? No.

Speaker 1 I had Zach Hampbell.

Speaker 7 I had Rory McElroy, and I had mascots.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. A lot happened this weekend.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 By the way, I'm just laughing internally imagining the conversations that Billy's having with Ben Mence, like teaching him how to keep his job. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Like teaching him how to like really, now you got to buckle down, Ben. You got to be like, post the Monday morning time to go to work tweet at like 11.30.

Speaker 1 Only go to the Friday widespread panic show. Don't go to the Saturday one.
College football's on. That kind of stuff.
Some big time coaching.

Speaker 10 Buy the MILF shirts if you like Ben.

Speaker 1 Okay, there we go. There we go.
All right. let's get to our interview with Jason McCordy in studio.

Speaker 12 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 12 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 12 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 1 Okay, here he is, Jason McCordy in studio.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on very special guest, Super Bowl champion, also

Speaker 1 new host of NFL Network's Emmy Award-winning Good Morning Football, which airs Monday through Friday at 7 a.m. on the NFL Network.
It is Jason McCordy. Thank you for joining us.
What's up, man?

Speaker 9 Appreciate you guys for having me. Every time they say like Emmy Award-winning show, I'm like, well, I wasn't a part of the Emmy, so it's just like,

Speaker 9 but I'll take it.

Speaker 6 It's like you also get to retroactively claim all the Patriots Super Bowl rings because you were part of their runs.

Speaker 1 So it's like, yeah, you're involved in that.

Speaker 9 No doubt about it. When you just said Super Bowl champion, people don't know whether I'm my brother and I won three of them or I just got a chance to win one.
So I'm not going to correct him.

Speaker 1 Well, you guys share all your socials. So shouldn't you?

Speaker 1 Don't you have four?

Speaker 9 Until now, now I have my own Twitter at

Speaker 9 Jason McCordy. Thank you for the free pubs.
There we go.

Speaker 1 There we go.

Speaker 6 So did you let him take over the old account or did he have to start a new one himself too?

Speaker 9 Nah, we're keeping it right now just McCordy twins, but like we're still up in the air.

Speaker 9 Like there might be a space where we still need the McCordy twins one, but I think he got tired of me that first week on Good Morning Football.

Speaker 9 I'm talking about stuff all over the NFL and he's getting mentioned and I may have to go in there and talk about how bad he plays in one of these games. He may not want it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest with you. I always thought it was a psycho move that you guys shared all social.
Like, what, I mean, that's, what if he tweets something you don't agree with?

Speaker 9 He knows not to do that. Okay.

Speaker 6 But that's actually a perfect, you got a scapegoat right there.

Speaker 8 No doubt about it.

Speaker 6 Like, if you tweet something bad, you can be like, oh, that was my brother.

Speaker 8 No doubt about it.

Speaker 9 We're both married, so we didn't really have to go down that path. But if we weren't, like, you could be sliding into DMs and all type of stuff and just blaming on your brother.

Speaker 8 That's actually perfect.

Speaker 6 I've been fascinated with twins in a weird way for a while.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 pause.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 6 when you guys went to college, you went to school together. You guys had always, you know, you grew up together, played football together, been very, very close as brothers.

Speaker 6 And then you graduate from college, you go to the NFL, and all of a sudden you guys are in different cities for the first time. What's that like as an identical twin?

Speaker 6 Like having to form your own identity outside of being a twin for like the first time in your life as an adult?

Speaker 9 Yeah, for us, we talked all the time. I think, especially, it's unique because we're in the same profession.
So our conversations are always about either family, football, and those things.

Speaker 9 And I think at that point, the toughest decision was in college, we shared sneakers. You couldn't afford to each buy the new pair of Jordans coming out.
So we had to decide.

Speaker 9 I mean, obviously, I was the one going into the league. So he kept all the shoes.
I had to rebuy stuff.

Speaker 9 but i think the identity part like for those close to us they always people have that have been around us they can tell like all right this is more of a devin thing to say more of a jason thing we're very similar but completely different in certain things so i think that part was just normal to us going making friends the whole nine um but we had to get used to all right you don't have your brother there to lean on to ask this question or in conversation he doesn't know what the hell i'm talking about when i'm talking about stuff with the titans but it was awesome i think i gave him a head start for that next year I mean, I went at the bottom of the sixth round.

Speaker 9 This guy goes at the bottom of the first.

Speaker 6 Yeah, you gave him, you absolutely helped him out. Did he give you a little taste?

Speaker 1 He left the beek on the table.

Speaker 9 Didn't give me no money. He goes to the Pro Bowls rookie year, makes me pay for my own flight and hotel.
So I'm still waiting for like a 500K check.

Speaker 1 He's the cheap one. Yeah, I have a little more messed up twin question.

Speaker 1 This could be the last twin question, but I do have a theory that identical twins, they all have at least tried to kiss each other on the lips just because like, why wouldn't you?

Speaker 1 That's your, like, he's hot. Like, if you, if you think you're attractive, then your twin has to be attractive, right?

Speaker 9 I got to assume that's probably more of like a white guy twin thing.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right, nice. Nice.
You pull the race card on me. That's fine.
That's fine. I'll own it.

Speaker 9 I can say

Speaker 9 we've never went down that path.

Speaker 1 All right. So, so the move to this, this thing is just a mess.
Our studio is a mess, but we keep, this keeps falling off, so I lose my headphones over and over.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 your career and you, you know, six-rounder, have a long career. Most six-rounders don't make it.
Like that's just a fact, you know. So you're now transitioning to the media.

Speaker 1 Has it been hard to be like, I got to start criticizing all these guys? I got to like, you know how hard it is to stay in the league. You know how difficult of a league it is.

Speaker 1 Have you found yourself like, how am I going to criticize? How am I going to nitpick knowing how difficult this whole profession is?

Speaker 9 I wouldn't say hard, but you definitely think it through how you want to say. And I think the main thing for me is having the supporting facts.

Speaker 9 Like if a guy goes out there, I'm friends with Jacoby Brissette, good friends. If Jacoby goes out there on a Sunday and throws three interceptions, like I have to say something about it.

Speaker 9 There's no way I can say Jacoby played a great game. It's just the receivers all ran the wrong route.
So I think it's understanding how you do it.

Speaker 9 I'm not going to say, oh, yeah, this guy sucks, but hey, he had a rough day out there today. You can see on this throw and that throw, hey, this guy's clearly open.

Speaker 9 He's a little greedy, and this is what happens when when you're greedy. So I think it's the way you go about it and how you do it.

Speaker 9 And you're not particularly calling somebody out, but you are calling out the performance and how they play it.

Speaker 1 Now, have you found yourself doing hot takes yet? Because I feel like that happens with every media guy who is a former pro.

Speaker 1 They're like, I'm not going to just do hot takes because I know the nuances of the game. And then you get that first hot takeoff and it's addicting.

Speaker 1 Like it's like what you just described, we would just be like, Jacoby Brissette's a bum. Yeah, right.
And it's addicting.

Speaker 9 I haven't, and I'm, I'm, I'm trying to be self-aware about it so that I don't do that. That's the one thing I don't want to do.

Speaker 9 I'm like, hey, like, 13 years in the league, like, I've had a great career, now transition into the media. Like, hey, just let it happen organically.

Speaker 9 If you're meant to be skyrocketed, one of the best, that's awesome. You may just be a mediocre guy.
Don't just go out there and try to say stuff to see what sticks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, I can't wait to see you.

Speaker 6 On the other hand, you could just go out there and say, like, I think the game has passed Bill Belichick by.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 And it's time for him to hang him him up. Like, they don't make the playoffs this year.
You admit, like, Bill Belichick's on the hot seat, right?

Speaker 9 Well, if I say that, then they better go out there and suck. I can't say that.
And then they go back to the AFC championship game.

Speaker 6 I'm always suspicious about you, former Patriots players, because I think you'll get out there and you'll say, like, the game has passed Belichick by, knowing that Bill's going to read that and he's going to be really good this year, and then he's going to thank you for giving him some bulletin board material.

Speaker 6 And this is how the Patriot way just recycles over and over and over again until it's like 2050 and he's won 23 Super Super Bowl.

Speaker 9 Nah, so if I go out there and I say some outlandish stuff about the Patriots, I'm going to go up to a game or something, go to see my brother play.

Speaker 9 I'm going to run into Bill and he's going to be like, I mean, I mean, Jay Mac, I mean, would you just shut the hell up? Like, you're not in the building anymore.

Speaker 1 You don't know what's going on here.

Speaker 9 Just shut up. Nobody wants, like, that's going to be the response.
He's not going to say, like, hey, thanks, thanks for that motivation. I needed that kick in the butt.

Speaker 1 He doesn't want to hear that. Well, you just said something, and we'll give you a little media training right now because

Speaker 1 we've been in the biz for a long time. You're like, if I say something, it better be right.
It doesn't have to be right.

Speaker 1 No one ever cares.

Speaker 9 Most of you guys are wrong.

Speaker 1 No one ever cares. No one ever's like, hey, remember that time Jason McCordy's? No, no, no.
They don't care.

Speaker 1 No one ever keeps track of the wrong things.

Speaker 1 So you can just say shit and no one will fucking care.

Speaker 13 It's almost better if you're wrong a lot.

Speaker 1 Like, to tell you the truth, more popular. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Skip Bayless. He's made a career on saying that.

Speaker 1 LeBron James sucks. Yeah.

Speaker 6 And Tim Tebow is awesome.

Speaker 1 And he's the most popular dude in sports media, right?

Speaker 6 And nobody will ever say, like, they'll tell him that he's wrong, but it doesn't matter because they keep talking about it.

Speaker 9 They're still watching.

Speaker 6 They're still watching, exactly.

Speaker 1 So we're wrong.

Speaker 6 We like to be wrong like six times a week, like very loud. Also, another thing that we do on the show, we just like admit our biases.

Speaker 6 Like how you said, like, Jacoby, it'll be tough to call Jacoby out. Like, we will tell you right now that Blake Bortles is a Super Bowl champion caliber quarterback at any team in the league.

Speaker 6 Because we love Blake. And so we admit our biases up front.

Speaker 1 Which is important. That is.
Because you'll see guys in media, like

Speaker 1 they'll be biased, and then they'll be like, but I'm not being biased. It's like, dude, yeah, you are.

Speaker 8 Like, it's okay.

Speaker 1 Everyone has friends. Everyone has people that they're close with.
So just say that outright and then they can't do anything.

Speaker 9 No doubt about it. I mean, I look at my career, like, I always want to be able to walk in the building in New England.
I want to be able to go visit the Titans.

Speaker 9 And I want to be able to go visit the Dolphins because who doesn't want to go to Miami?

Speaker 9 And when I talk bad about them, it's going to be in a certain way, but I'm not going to bash him. I played in Cleveland for a a year.
I was going to say, so you just, you're not.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 I don't plan it. Well, I had a question about that.
I mean, it's one of the most remarkable things to go from an 0-16 team to winning a Super Bowl the next year.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 what the fuck was that like? That has to be... That has to be the crazy.

Speaker 1 Like, did you, after you win the Super Bowl, you're like, holy shit, I literally played an entire season without winning a game, and now I'm holding the Lombardi trophy.

Speaker 9 We laughed about it in New England. We play Houston, the first game that I'm there that first first season and we win the game.
Normal game, first game of the season.

Speaker 9 Deshaun Watson, I think, was coming back off an ACL injury. They didn't perform well.
We kind of beat up on them.

Speaker 9 I played five plays in that game and I'm running in the locker room, screaming, like cheering in the locker room loud. And everybody, I think, enjoyed that because here it is.
I'm a guy.

Speaker 9 I hadn't won a game since the 2016 season when I was still a Tennessee Titan.

Speaker 9 If you don't count the four preseason games we won in Cleveland. But other than that, I was fired up just to win a game.
So I think for me, that season was definitely surreal.

Speaker 9 Even throughout my career, I never won

Speaker 9 double-digit wins in a season. Did that in New England, never won my division, did that in New England.

Speaker 9 So I think for me, I was kind of like the poster child of like, see, if you can't take it for granted because look at Jason over there, it's the first time he's experienced these things.

Speaker 9 So, no, it was definitely surreal.

Speaker 1 So I listened to Joe Thomas do a podcast. I think it was with our friend Rossillo, and he was talking about that 0-16 season and like the mental

Speaker 1 wear that it has on everyone. Yeah, I remember.
Yeah, like what every week, was there a point in the season where it was like, I just can't, like, I know I have to do a job.

Speaker 1 I have to get up for this, but it has to just like basically wear you down to a point where you're like, are we, are we even worthy of this? Like, this is,

Speaker 1 how did that go down?

Speaker 9 I remember Joe T explained it, defining insanity, doing the same thing thing over and over again but expecting different results and that's kind of where we were in almost like a time trap of like each week you go out there wednesday you do first and second down thursday you do third down for so the same thing and we were still getting the same exact result every sunday loss after loss after loss and it's definitely tough i can remember i still had the youtube video saved it was like a motivational youtube video i'd put it on every morning on my car ride to work because it was just like yo how am i gonna get through today yeah it was not only there was just so much going on in the building in Cleveland that year.

Speaker 9 When you go 0-16, like, that's tough to do. It hasn't been done many times in the NFL.
So there's a lot of things going wrong beyond just like not having good players.

Speaker 9 So it was definitely like, it was definitely a tough moment throughout my career.

Speaker 1 Did you have to find yourself, like, I don't know, just like after the season being over, like... figure out a way to like boost yourself back up? Was it that low?

Speaker 1 Because like I said, when I listened to him talk about it, it sounded, it's the side that we don't realize because we obviously make fun of an 0-16. Yeah.
We have the jokes.

Speaker 8 But these guys are all pros.

Speaker 1 They're all humans. And every single week, like your confidence has to probably evaporate by the end of the season.

Speaker 9 Yeah, so for me, I had just gotten released by Tennessee before I joined Cleveland after eight seasons. And I actually had one of my better seasons in Cleveland individually.

Speaker 9 Guys may not want to admit it, but the truth of the matter is when you're losing that many games, you start to become selfish. It's just like, yo, this team's going to blow up.

Speaker 9 They're not bringing us all back. Like, we haven't won a single game.
I better damn well make sure like my performance on the field is gonna warrant another team wanting me.

Speaker 9 So when the season ended for me, it was kind of like, all right, where can I end up? Because I don't want to come back to, like, I don't want to do this again.

Speaker 9 So, hey, what are the opportunities going to be? And I mean, luckily for me, end up going to the right team at the right time with the Super Bowl.

Speaker 8 It's just got to be about self-preservation at that point.

Speaker 6 It's like, don't get it. You don't want to get injured that year, right? You don't want to be the hurt guy in an 0-16 team because then you might be in trouble next free agency.
But

Speaker 6 so you mentioned Tennessee. You wanted to come back in the building in Tennessee.
You want to be welcome there.

Speaker 6 Quick question about your career and most specifically one incident.

Speaker 9 Cortland Finnegan. Oh, I knew that was coming.

Speaker 6 I just want to know what the film study was like the week after Cortland Finnegan got his ass beat by Andre Johnson. Did you guys like watch that on the coaches clicker?

Speaker 9 No, no, it got cut off.

Speaker 9 I don't think they recorded the whole fight. But yo, that whole, like the buildup and everything surrounding that was insane.
So my rookie year, I get there and I think Dre drags.

Speaker 9 And it's funny because I end up playing with Andre in Tennessee, but he drags Cortland down by his helmet off on Houston sideline. And like Cortland like gets jumped on Houston sideline.

Speaker 9 We have the defensive lineman. Jason Jones get kicked at it.
It was almost like a brawl within the game. Then we played them on Monday night that same season.
Cortland like...

Speaker 9 karate chops Andre at the bottom of a pile on the play. So like this thing had been brewing, brewing.
And you got to, if you know Cortland, you understand seventh round guy from Sanford.

Speaker 9 He came in and like his mindset was like, I'm a smaller guy. Like I can't compete with talent-wise, with some of these receivers.
So what I'm going to do, I'm going to get in their head all game.

Speaker 9 And when he would go against Dre, his mindset was like, he's going to have to get kicked out of the game.

Speaker 9 So when everything happens that day and Dre throws those punches, you can see Cortland is clapping in his face because in Cortland's mind, Dre just got kicked out of the game.

Speaker 9 Because at that point, Cortland didn't do anything to warrant him getting kicked out of the game.

Speaker 9 He ripped off his, Dre ripped his helmet off, so he ripped Dre's helmet off, and then they both get kicked out.

Speaker 9 So I remember walking in the locker room after that game, and we played Houston in two weeks.

Speaker 9 Cortland goes up to me and Alteron Werner, because it was me and Cortland was a starter, and it was us three. He goes, fellas, like, get ready.
Like, first play of the game in two weeks.

Speaker 9 Like, I'm out. Like, we're fighting.
There's just no way I'm not. Fast forward to those two weeks.
We're playing Houston at home in Nashville.

Speaker 9 Merton Hanks, who handles the fines and different stuff in the league at the time, is at the game in the flesh.

Speaker 9 We're out there warming up, just like the t-shirts and hoodies on, not the pregame stuff.

Speaker 9 Comes over, pulls Cortland aside, lets him know, like, hey, if anything happens today, it's going to be a hefty fine. Cortland comes back, like, well.
Fellas, I'll be playing today.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 9 it was one of those things where it was just like, you felt for him because he never got his chance for that get back.

Speaker 9 But, man, that battle between those two was brewing for years before it kind of spilled over at that point.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So

Speaker 1 playing defense, the NFL,

Speaker 1 you kind of have your career spanned all the rule changes and everything. Is it overstated how hard it is to play defense now, or is that accurate?

Speaker 1 How everyone's like, look, cornerbacks, defensive backs, they just have no chance. Or even defensive linemen trying to hit the quarterback, they have no chance.
Do you feel that?

Speaker 1 Like, could you feel the change where it's like, this is just becoming, clearly the league wants scoring.

Speaker 9 This is becoming almost impossible for us to do our job oh it's extremely hard i mean think about it for a guy rushing the passer you're not allowed to hit the quarterback below the knees even when he has the ball right so if you're rushing you end up on the ground you have to wait and get up to then try to tackle the quarterback like that just sounds crazy to try to do something like that and for the dbs this year it's a point of emphasis emphasis to call illegal contact when you pass five yards it's hard enough to cover a guy now we're just going to make it even harder because whenever it's a point of emphasis in the league, it's just like expect to see a ton of flags come out whenever you touch a guy, but you'll watch a receiver push off and do all types of things.

Speaker 9 So definitely not overstated. Playing defense.
That's why corners get paid so much money.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I've always said that cornerback is the hardest position to play in football.

Speaker 9 Corner and left tackle. Physically the hardest position to play in football.

Speaker 6 Yeah, so what was it about cornerback that made you want to play it? I have to assume that most kids growing up, they want to be a running back. They want to be wide receiver.

Speaker 6 They want to be a quarterback. Why'd you decide to play defense?

Speaker 9 Yeah, I was a really good high school running back. Not far from here in North Jersey.

Speaker 9 I was 155 pounds when I went into college. I don't think I was picking up a middle linebacker on a blitz at the running back position.
So I was good at cornerback. And after 13 years, it paid well.

Speaker 9 So I have no problem. You build a certain level of mental toughness playing cornerback because there are going to be guys that beat you.
So I definitely enjoyed it.

Speaker 9 And just that challenge of knowing like week in and week out, you're going against the best athlete on the island by yourself and you got to perform.

Speaker 1 I also assume you just can't catch.

Speaker 9 I'm not that great. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, that's what I've got. I think

Speaker 9 18 career interceptions and I probably dropped 10 more.

Speaker 8 Anytime a cornerback drops a ball, we're just like, well, he's a cornerback for a reason.

Speaker 9 Receivers that can't catch.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right. There you go.
Exactly. Yeah.

Speaker 13 Ball's here. Kids are back in school.

Speaker 1 Who was the toughest guy to guard? Or even if it wasn't like a guy that we all know as a superstar, but a guy who always just gave you fits where something he did.

Speaker 1 Like, is it harder to guard, let me ask it this way, is it harder to guard the guy who's just faster than everyone, or is it harder to guard a guy who has that wiggle, like a Julian Edelman, who's, you know, making cuts in the middle of the field?

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Speed is the toughest thing to cover to me by far. You can have a really good receiver if he can't run.

Speaker 9 The one thing I'm going to say is, all right, like, I don't have to, I can take my time a little bit, but that's not to discredit. Like, going against, especially you mentioned Jules.

Speaker 9 Like, Jules is tough to cover, not only because of his wiggle and his physical ability, but Jules was a monster on the field.

Speaker 9 Like, you didn't know whether it was going to be a run play and he was going to fire off the line of scrimmage and just head-butt you to block you, or whether he was going to be tired that one play and just kind of like put a hand up and let you run to the ball.

Speaker 9 You just never knew what to expect from him. But Jules was just so damn tough, right? Just as a person, that he was hard.

Speaker 9 But there was a guy, Brandon Lloyd, that used to play in denver and buddy could just torque his body any which way to catch a football that nobody talks about and was a really good receiver uh but like calvin johnson was a guy that i mean literally looked like a tight end when you were watching film when you play a calvin johnson are you in your mind being like all right if he goes like 100 for a touchdown that's a successful day for me like because it's weird to play against a guy like that knowing that no matter what you do the best you can possibly be he's still going to to get it.

Speaker 9 It would be a successful day for us because we're going to double team him every play.

Speaker 9 That simple.

Speaker 9 It's funny because I will watch with my brother being the Wingley, I will watch their game plans against certain guys.

Speaker 9 And the year Revis was there, Revis never covered Calvin Johnson when they played him in the game. They put Brandon Browner on him and put the safety over the top.

Speaker 9 And whoever the next best receiver was was just like, all right, Revis, you just go cover him. all by yourself.
And I got a chance to go there with Stephon Gilmore.

Speaker 9 And there would be times where we would do the same thing. Gilly would be on the best guy, but whenever we want to double team him, Gilmore would go away from him.

Speaker 9 And for me, it was like a resurgence of my career. Like, oh, yeah, I'll go to the double team.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Gilly, you go over there and earn all the money and do the tough matchup. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Go ahead. I was just going to ask about Belichick and Rutgers because he seems to have, he seems to be a real pervert for Rutgers.

Speaker 9 He knows where the talent is.

Speaker 6 He absolutely loves. He cannot get enough Rutgers in his building.

Speaker 6 So, you know, whether it's certain players that went there, you, your brother went there, he loves coaches that have spent time at Rutgers.

Speaker 6 What is it about Rutgers that makes Bill Belichick just like perk his ears up?

Speaker 9 I mean, I think for him, when you're searching for that diamond in the rough, you can go there. I mean, you look at a Devin McCordy, a Deron Harmon, a Logan Ryan.
I mean, the list.

Speaker 6 Did you say Devin McCordy? Yes,

Speaker 1 a player of that caliber.

Speaker 9 But I think even like, so Steve Belichick played lacrosse at Rutgers. And I think when Bill would go there, he got a chance to know Cochiano, who was at Rutgers while we were there.

Speaker 9 And I think just mindset-wise, both of those guys are very similar. Old school, tough-nosed guy.

Speaker 9 So I think he looked at it when I get a player coming from this program, coached by this coaching staff, I know exactly what I'm going to get, and I know they can handle what I'm going to throw at them.

Speaker 9 I think that's why he's done it.

Speaker 6 You're like more ready for his system because there's certain things that are in common. Are you a Chiano man?

Speaker 9 Yeah, I was there with Chiano all four.

Speaker 9 Chiano's batshit crazy. Ton of respect for him because he gets the job done.
He knows what the team needs. And it was funny because, like you said, guys are prepared for it.
So I get drafted first.

Speaker 9 I go to Tennessee with coach Jeff Fisher, who's the opposite of those guys. Players, coach, like Fisher's gonna let you come in at 11 in the morning after a long trip, sleep in, whatever.

Speaker 9 And I'm telling Dev all about the league. Like, I'm telling you, bro, like, so much more laid back.
Like, we barely, we barely wear full pads in practice. Like, this thing is awesome.

Speaker 9 And then he gets drafted by New England. He was like, what the hell were you talking about? Like, this is just like being back at Rutgers.

Speaker 1 How sick was

Speaker 1 the famous USF game? Because that was, like, when you think Rutgers football, I don't know if this is a bad thing or a good thing, but like, it's good. Good for us.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's good, but it's only one game.

Speaker 1 Basically, in, yeah, the last 20 years. But James Gandolfini there.
USF is, what, number two in the country. Comes to Piscataway.
You guys win. Like,

Speaker 1 that was an all-time game. I remember it so vividly.

Speaker 9 Yeah, we had a few of them. We had that one where they were two in the country.
And then we beat Louisville when they were ranked really high.

Speaker 9 Our kicker, like, pointed at the cameras one of those thursday night games yeah if somebody knows ruckers like that's what they remember right pandemonium and piscataway and i got a chance to play with harry douglas who was at louisville at the time and he's still mad at me to this day because he felt like that was his that was their chance that was their year brian brom him they had a ton of guys but like yes to your point like those games and those like two seasons is what ruckers is known for and hopefully now it's kind of like we've moved to the opposite end of it where we're losing games by 50 but we're on the rise yeah it's chiano's back we're on the rise it's got to be tough like are you do you think like oh i wish i played in the big 10 or you know like because obviously the it's it's tough it's very toughers has had a tough time in the big 10 you know playing against the ohio states the michigans all that although they beat michigan a few years ago yeah yeah but like is there part of you that's like oh i kind of wish i was playing against these guys and not you know the old big east for sure i mean i got drafted at the bottom of the sixth round if i could have been playing against some of the caliber receivers that are in the big 10 and these big names and all of that you just get a chance to showcase your talent even more and i mean a chance to play in front of a hundred thousand people like as kids you grow up watching those games and those stadiums and like the charles woodsons the tom brady's all of those players and like getting an opportunity to actually go out there and be a part of that i would have loved that i did like i i read one anecdote that belichek um because you played in what did you play in one bowl game two bowl games in your career at rutgers uh four four oh you played all four okay there you go so he he calls them pizza bowls though because he's like they're trash bowls.

Speaker 9 We played in the Papa Johns Bowl, too.

Speaker 1 He just calls any bowl. An bowl fits perfect.
Any bowl that's not like the Rose Bowl or anything.

Speaker 9 If it's not the BCS.

Speaker 1 It's just a Pizza Bowl to him.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 9 It's hard to argue. We played the Papa John's Bowl, the International Bowl, the Texas Bowl, and the Insight Bowl.

Speaker 1 Nobody knows where those are located.

Speaker 1 It's like calling them all Pizza Bowls.

Speaker 9 100%. Some people call them toilet bowl games.

Speaker 1 Pick your name. If you can gamble on it, it's still a bowl game to me.

Speaker 9 Hey, there you go.

Speaker 1 I'm watching all the game.

Speaker 1 I'm an NFL employee i'm not allowed to gamble oh is that right really yeah okay if you were how many teams would you put in a parlay like calvin ridley i have no idea what a parlay is oh nice he just winked at us so smart so wait nfl employees aren't allowed to gamble at all no that's that's one of those rules that's definitely going to change like on sports within five years horse racing you can i believe so yeah yeah well yeah all the guys go all the time yeah right

Speaker 1 all like coaches in college and nfl like basketball football everything all of them bet on horses because that's why you can't do anything else.

Speaker 9 Yeah. Take advantage of the one you can.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 6 So good morning, football.

Speaker 1 You started a few, like five weeks ago. What

Speaker 1 any like surprises so far of how the show, like, because what is it?

Speaker 8 Is it a three-hour show?

Speaker 1 Yeah, three hours. Is it tiring? Because I'd imagine like doing three hours live TV, that's...

Speaker 9 Yo, it goes by quicker than you think. Like in the beginning, it felt like I did an audition at the end of June.
That felt long. But now I'm just like, nah, like I feel like we're in and out.

Speaker 9 Next thing you know, we're in the next hour so i i feel like it's going fast the toughest thing is i'm up at 4 45 each morning like that that that that's tough have you been able to figure out now like when kyle brent gets going like oh he's trying to get go viral on twitter with this yo when kyle gets i'm i'm always surprised at like what he's allowed to say i'm just like nobody's censoring this like like we can actually say this stuff on tv like yeah but it's been impressive i think especially as a player like we'll look at the meeting and just like oh yeah like you guys you have a nice setup but like there's no work like you just come in here like all right, I'll google Jason McCordy, throw a few questions at him, and then doing it, like, you realize how much more work goes into it, preparing for a show each and every day, having the content, all that goes around, and then the behind-the-scenes of producers and content creators and all of that stuff.

Speaker 9 It's just like, damn, like, this is a well-loyal machine. I'm happy to be a part of.

Speaker 1 And we, I mean, you know, Kyle and Peter Schrager and Jamie Erdogan, all like super talented. So you're on like a super team when it comes to this.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I'm the rookie. Like, they've been doing it for a decade plus.
So I'm in there asking them questions.

Speaker 9 Like, we'll get our emails for the rundown for the show, and they'll have like acronyms and stuff. All right, we got a SOT in tomorrow, or I need an FS.

Speaker 9 So I'm the guy in there like, yo, what the hell is a SOT?

Speaker 1 Are they agreed at all?

Speaker 6 Are they lying? They should lie to you about what those different things mean and just like embarrass you on camera.

Speaker 9 They haven't. So I don't know if they're listening.
So now I may, when the next question comes up, I may get something like that and look like an idiot.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 What is the audition process like for TV? You have to sit down, pretend it's like a weekday in September and then hear the highlights. How's that work?

Speaker 9 So it's different kind of for all.

Speaker 9 So I did the broadcast boot camp through the NFL in April and that was huge because you go to LA at the headquarters of the NFL offices and all of that and we're there for like three days.

Speaker 9 You do like a day and a half like rundown of like what is it like to call a game on TV? Radio, podcast, and studio stuff. And they're giving you like information that you can learn and take with you.

Speaker 9 And then the last day is like a full-on live audition. So like we watched a two-minute drill of a TV game from the year before and we're actually calling it as if we're there doing the game for radio.

Speaker 9 We went in studio with like real topics that were going on in the news at the time. And at this thing, there's the NFL network stuff.
There's CBS, NBC, Westwood One.

Speaker 9 There's all type of people looking for talent. So that was kind of my main audition.
And then from there, ended up doing a draft show for CBS Sports Network

Speaker 9 and then ended up getting an opportunity.

Speaker 1 I just went on Good Morning Football.

Speaker 9 It wasn't like a mock thing. It was like I just went on for a day in June and whatever the topics were, Peter was there, Kyle was there, and Sarah Walsh was there from NFL Network.

Speaker 9 And we just did two shows on a Monday and Tuesday.

Speaker 6 At the boot camp, do they teach you how to apologize if you say something that you shouldn't on the air?

Speaker 6 I love a good media apology.

Speaker 9 Yeah, no, they didn't. I think.

Speaker 1 Do you want to role play it real quick? Yeah,

Speaker 1 you called Justin Herbert a motherfucker accidentally during a game. You meant to say that it was a message.
No, Zach Wilson. You meant to say it was Zach.

Speaker 6 And he said, Justin Herbert, you're like, sorry, he actually did not have sex with me, buddy. I'd I'd like to apologize.
All right, so three, two.

Speaker 9 This is Jason McCordy here. I'm representing part of my take at Barstool Sports.
And I just want to apologize. My behavior was inexcusable.

Speaker 9 Those actions will not happen again. I think for myself, I've gone through some self-reflection and I realized that those comments can be extremely hurt.

Speaker 9 And I had to really take into account how they impact others. And words can do a lot of damage.

Speaker 9 And I promise you guys will see see better from me and I will strive each and every day to be the best that I can be.

Speaker 1 Wow, I believe that. That was great.
Here's a tip too. Don't ever notes app anything because we will clown you for that.
Anyone who does the notes app, it's immediate like, dude, are you serious?

Speaker 1 Like you thought this was so important that you had to put it on the notes.

Speaker 1 100%. Get out.
100%. Yeah.
The notes app is immediate like you've lost.

Speaker 9 Is it better just to not apologize? Or do you apologize to keep the job?

Speaker 6 I like the all-black background that you use on like Instagram more often, where it's just like a black or a blue screen and then the white text with the text on it.

Speaker 6 That's me, and maybe like a giant quotation mark in it somewhere to show that it's a quote from you. I always like that.
That's a nice touch.

Speaker 6 Yeah, with the notes app that still says like notes on it, and then like you put the tide.

Speaker 1 It's the lamest thing you can do. You automatically lose on that apology.
So that's just a little tip.

Speaker 1 All right, so let's do some hot takes about this season.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 1 Because football is coming.

Speaker 1 What is the thought that you're thinking right now about it could be a team, a player, anything that you, you know, this is what you're going to probably stand on going into this season.

Speaker 9 Well, I'll start with this. We had Aaron Schatz come on the show and he does the Football Insiders almanac and he picked the Eagles.

Speaker 1 That's my, I have a future on them.

Speaker 9 To go to the Super Bowl this year.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 And I'm I guess cold take I'm saying

Speaker 9 that. I don't I don't see that happening.

Speaker 1 Why not?

Speaker 9 I just don't see them.

Speaker 9 I think Hurts is good. I think he'll take another step.
I don't think that step is going to be to the Super Bowl. They made it to the playoffs last year.

Speaker 9 They got killed by the Bucs in the first round of the playoffs.

Speaker 1 It was windy.

Speaker 9 It was windy. Well, it may snow this year.

Speaker 1 Well, no, but it was windy. I'm just saying, Jalen Hurts, it was windy.

Speaker 1 Just to defend him real quick, it was windy.

Speaker 6 It was windy for the Eagles.

Speaker 1 You can't account for that.

Speaker 6 Yeah, you can't account for the

Speaker 9 first for me.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's an

Speaker 1 extra point. Blame weather, blame any type of thing.

Speaker 9 It was cold. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You can always.

Speaker 9 Like the New England Buffalo game. Yeah, Yeah, it was cold.
New England, I mean, Buffalo scored on every possession. It's unimaginable to play defense in the cold.

Speaker 1 Exactly.

Speaker 1 I remember a year where I went to Wisconsin. They played Ohio State and it was raining.
And I was like, I'd like to see Ohio State beat us on normal conditions.

Speaker 1 Then we played in the Big Ten Championship game. They kicked the shit out of Wisconsin.
But I had that for a few months where I was like,

Speaker 1 play us man-to-man, straight up. Regular conditions.
Yeah. So you can use that.
Weather's always good to use.

Speaker 9 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 9 I have to go on my notes app and make sure I write this down.

Speaker 6 I like the idea of Philadelphia winning that division because nobody repeats in the NFC East.

Speaker 1 It's been like since 2005, 2004, something like that.

Speaker 6 So I do agree.

Speaker 1 I think they make the playoffs, but I don't think that they're going to be in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 9 I just, I don't, I don't see it. I do think it's going to be the three kind of power teams we've talked about, the Rams, the Packers, and the Bucs.
I do believe it's going to be

Speaker 9 representing the NFC.

Speaker 1 What's the team that maybe you have your eye on in the NFC that's like outside of those three that you could see? Because I'll throw one at you.

Speaker 1 I'm kind of thinking the Vikings might be good this year. I like the Vikings.

Speaker 9 I think we talked so bad about Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins had 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions last year.

Speaker 1 He does.

Speaker 1 He's Kirk Cousins. Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 1 he had the shirt.

Speaker 9 He had the picture with no shirt on, showing his suntan. He's kind of like the corky dude, but that's okay.
If you can throw 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions, we can win with that.

Speaker 9 So I think Kevin O'Connell going over there, what he can do. I mean, we've already heard Jefferson say, hey, like, I see what

Speaker 9 Cooper Cuck was able to do on that offense. I'm fired up to see what I can do.

Speaker 9 I think the Vikings, I would think the Vikings, I would go with them as Super Bowl dark horse over the Philadelphia Eagles if I'm choosing between those two.

Speaker 6 So my theory on the Vikings is like Kirk Cousins is a perfectly fine, exactly average quarterback. I've watched him his entire career.

Speaker 6 He's a great quarterback. You don't want to pay him as much money as they're paying him, ideally.

Speaker 6 But I think that there's something to this, and you can speak on it as a defensive player, where Mike Zimmer was a defensive guy, right? And he outwardly hated Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 6 You could tell, like, he could not stand the fact that he was paying this guy this much money. Just like utterly did not...
He didn't have time for Kirk.

Speaker 6 Now they brought in a guy that is specifically there to get the most out of Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 6 The defense going into every game, since they felt like they had their coach on their side as their guy, I feel like the defense is more fired up.

Speaker 6 They're like, yeah, this guy kind of sucks, so it's on us to step up.

Speaker 6 Now they've got a guy that's brought in to kind of coddle Kirk, and the defense, I think, is going to be a little bit, it's not going to have the same edge to him.

Speaker 9 You said the defense won't have the same edge.

Speaker 6 Yeah, because they don't have Zimmer.

Speaker 9 See, I'll give you another perspective.

Speaker 9 When you're on the defensive side of the ball and you're balling, you have a really good defense, but you know, if we give up a touchdown or we give up a touchdown late, it's going to be damn near impossible for us to win the game.

Speaker 9 It's a lot tougher.

Speaker 9 When you have the chance or you have a quarterback and an offense where you feel like, hey, and you're sitting on the bench in a two-minute drill and you're very hopeful because you're like hey like we're good like they're gonna go down we're down two like we're definitely gonna get in field goal range that hypes the defense up when you're on a defense and you know your quarterback or you know your offense can go win the game even if it is a very average kirk cousins but you believe in kevin o'connell you're like hey you give him the fourth quarter three quarters to be able to figure out what the defense is going to do.

Speaker 9 He's going to draw some shit up that we're going to be good. As a defense, when you don't have that, like you're you're totally deflated.

Speaker 9 Every play you give up is just that our chances to win just went down.

Speaker 1 It's huge. I'm a big believer in that.
Like, even an offense that maybe they're not scoring at an elite level, but not getting three and outs. Exactly.

Speaker 9 Exactly.

Speaker 1 Because I'd imagine from a defensive side, if you're playing and you've played on teams where it's like three and out, three and out, three and out.

Speaker 9 I had nine different quarterbacks in Tennessee.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So like the fourth or fifth one, you're like, what the fuck?

Speaker 1 We're just on the field the whole time.

Speaker 9 We would give up a play on the sideline.

Speaker 1 It'd be like, all right, we can't give up any more points.

Speaker 9 And And it's halfway through the first quarter. And it's just like, it's like, damn, well,

Speaker 9 Payne Manning's over there.

Speaker 1 Like, they're going to score again.

Speaker 9 We're going to have to, we're going to need some help.

Speaker 9 So I think a better offense can sometimes kind of hype in that defense where, yeah, they may give up more points because that was the thing when I got to New England.

Speaker 9 It was harder to keep teams under 20 points when you have Brady who's possibly putting up 40 points. There's more passes in the game.

Speaker 9 So it just changes the flow of the game opposed to when I was in Cleveland or I was in Tennessee with a team where we weren't as good.

Speaker 9 The other team on the other side is just like, hey, no turnovers, no mistakes.

Speaker 1 Like, we'll outlast them and we'll be able to win the game.

Speaker 9 So the flow of the game is a little bit different.

Speaker 6 So you're saying you'd rather have Tom Brady as your quarterback than Jake Locker

Speaker 1 or Zach Mettenberg. Tough one.
Jake Locker's kind of a what if. Jake Locker's a great

Speaker 1 dude, too. Awesome dude.

Speaker 9 What if?

Speaker 9 Mettenberger was almost like the next Brady in a sense.

Speaker 1 I love whenever there's a half draft. If someone had gone to my head.

Speaker 9 I'll go with Brady.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Anytime there's like a sixth or seventh round white dude who has like, who like

Speaker 1 a couple times? Ryan Mallet. Next Brady.
Yeah, Ryan Mallett couldn't, his alarm situation was tough.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Didn't wake up. A lot going on.
All right, so AFC. I mean, the AFC's.
Yeah. It's crazy how loaded the AFC is.
Unreal.

Speaker 1 And I know every year we do this when we go into a season and we're like, all right, you can put in the Chiefs, the Bills, like list them off.

Speaker 1 There's obviously going to be one team that will maybe fall off from that. So what's the team that made the playoffs last year? You could be like, ah, because there's, you know,

Speaker 1 there's a lot of times where that will happen where you just write in the Bengals, the Chiefs, the Chargers who didn't even make the playoffs.

Speaker 1 But what team do you think that everyone's expecting to be really good might take a step back?

Speaker 9 Well, I'll name a few. I think...
It's going to be interesting what happens in New England. I think they're a team that made the playoffs last year with

Speaker 9 Mac Jones as a rookie quarterback who played really well.

Speaker 9 They've gone through, it's been the talk of the entire offseason with Josh McDaniels leaving and taking a ton of coaches with him of what their offense is going to be like.

Speaker 9 I think it's going to be interesting for them in that division because Buffalo, Josh Allen's going to, they're going to be there. They're not falling off.
But Miami got better.

Speaker 9 I mean, they added weapons all over the place. Now the question is.

Speaker 9 We just talked about Kirk Cousins and an offensive coach being able to come and kind of electrify the offense.

Speaker 9 What is Mike McDaniel going to do for Tua to be able to electrify that offense and make it similar? Miami had a defensive mind, a coach and flow who

Speaker 9 was kind of focused. He wants to have a great defense and run the ball.
Now you get a Mike McDaniel, a guy who's an offensive guy, and the defense is still the same.

Speaker 9 So I'm interested to see with them.

Speaker 9 And then I think the AFC West, like the Raiders were in the playoffs last year, but then we look at it, the Chargers didn't make it, the Broncos didn't make it, but it's just like...

Speaker 9 Why don't we think like this division is going to be very tough? They're going to beat up on each other.

Speaker 9 I know that's what everybody's talked about, but I do think the Chiefs are still going to be there. I mean, Patrick Mahomes, you've watched him this preseason lie.

Speaker 9 Yes, no Tyreek Hill, but I mean, he's a magician with the ball in his hand.

Speaker 1 You mentioned Flo when Belichick had his,

Speaker 1 you know, he screwed up his text messages.

Speaker 1 You know, Black Brian, white, Brian, he did not know which one he was texting. Were you called for a character witness? Because he once did screw up you and your brother, right?

Speaker 1 He did mess that up, didn't he, before a Super Bowl? Yeah,

Speaker 9 early on when we got there, like, he didn't know know who was. I was just called Devin most of the time.
I think he was just used to saying that name. So it was just like, Devin, what are you doing?

Speaker 9 It was just like, no, I'm Jason, coach. But no, I didn't.
I didn't get called in. I think that's a simple fix.

Speaker 9 Like you just said, you go in the contacts, you just make a little edit to the names, and that simplifies it.

Speaker 1 Did he do he, when you weren't on the Patriots, he screwed it up, right?

Speaker 9 He did. That was

Speaker 9 Dev's second year. They make it to the Super Bowl in Indianapolis, and they're playing the Giants, And we're down there, and I know too well the family schedule when you go down to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 9 I tell other people, I won one, went to that Super Bowl. I played in, but I've been to five of them because I went to four of them as the brother of Devin McCordy.

Speaker 9 But we're there Saturday before the Sunday game, and that's when you do the whole family pictures, and everybody's down on the field. So I'm down there.

Speaker 9 I think I'm dressing like jeans and a hoodie or something. And Bill walks up to me.
He's like, What the hell are you doing? Like, you got to get dressed. We're doing the team picture.

Speaker 9 And he doesn't finish the sentence.

Speaker 1 He's like, Oh, hell,

Speaker 9 had no idea like just just blew it i was just like yo if you want me to go put a uniform i'll line up for you guys whatever y'all need i'll run down on kickoff but yeah definitely have you ever thought about doing something like that like going back to high school one of you guys sprains an ankle the other like puts on the uniform real quick steps in i remember our my uh my second year dev's rookie year jeff fisher comes up to me we're in practice and he was just like you and your brother look quite alike huh he was just like i bet if he walked in here and you left left, like, we wouldn't know.

Speaker 9 I was like, no one would have any idea.

Speaker 9 This would be the year to do it. Like, I'm out the league.
Like, I fly up to Foxborough, put the stuff on. I know the defense.
Like, I know where I'm walking in the building.

Speaker 9 This would be the time for me to kind of go up there and get some stuff done.

Speaker 1 You should, I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, but that would be an electric good morning football segment.

Speaker 1 Just try to live a day and see if anyone knows.

Speaker 9 Just walk into the building and see. I would just need one person in New England to be okay with it because somebody has to tell Deb to stay home so he doesn't get fine.
Right.

Speaker 9 So, yeah,

Speaker 6 that's the way they do it. If, you know, God forbid, he like breaks a finger or something like that and needs a couple weeks off.
Yeah. You just put the pads on, you split the check with him.

Speaker 9 That would be the tough negotiation. He'd have to give up some of that money.

Speaker 6 Yeah, how much

Speaker 6 would it cost for you to step in? Like, would you need those full two weeks to pay for his contract if you stepped in and played two games for him without anybody knowing?

Speaker 9 Yeah, you said split.

Speaker 9 If I'm playing, I'm going to meetings, I need that full two weeks. And he's still getting paid a lot.
So he's getting paid a lot more than me.

Speaker 1 So we're going to need that.

Speaker 6 Just so you know, if he does like twist an ankle or something like that, and he's out for a week,

Speaker 6 and when he comes back, I'm just going to say that it's you.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Spread that rumor.

Speaker 9 Wait to see how he plays first, though.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 If he's out there stinking it up, don't put that on me.

Speaker 9 Let him take that.

Speaker 6 Another media tip for you. Just anytime a quarterback does something great, just be like, if Patrick Mahomes did this, everybody would go nuts.
That's just a good thing to say.

Speaker 6 Like, people love that shit.

Speaker 6 So, anytime a quarterback does like a little sidearm pass, and I should have brought my notebook, like Matt Stafford, he does that a lot, and people do go nuts when Matt Stafford does it.

Speaker 6 But it's more impactful if you tell people, like, hey, you'd be freaking out if Mahomes did this, but you're not doing it right here.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's perfect.

Speaker 1 I love that. I love that.

Speaker 9 Yeah, Mahomes is the Houdini.

Speaker 1 All right, so I know you can't talk gambling, wink, wink. So, I'm going to ask a question that's not gambling, but maybe has a little gambling undertone.

Speaker 1 The psychological aspect of like a letdown game. Is it real in the NFL? Because we see it all the time in college.
Like if a college team, you know, I'm sure when you guys beat USF,

Speaker 9 you probably didn't have the best practice the next week. We beat Louisville and then we go to Cincinnati and get our ass.

Speaker 1 Because you're kids, and it's like, all right,

Speaker 1 we're the big man on campus. You know, we got this.
Does that happen in the NFL? Like, is there a, you know, after a big win, can you notice that like maybe

Speaker 1 it's everyone's, you know, maybe not as focused the next week?

Speaker 9 Nobody talks about it.

Speaker 9 The only person I've heard, Julian Edelman, like, we would, there would be times in New England where we're bringing it up and he decides to give a speech and he started off and be like, we're in a trap game, boys.

Speaker 1 We got to figure it out. We're in a trap game.

Speaker 9 And like, everybody's dying laughing.

Speaker 9 Because anybody that's been around Bill Belichick, like, the last thing he wants to hear is somebody talking about a game as a trap game and kind of saying that, all right, this is that let-down game.

Speaker 9 But nobody talks about it. Like, you just, I think in the league, especially depending upon what team you're on, like, each game has its own kind of anthems or themes for it.

Speaker 9 Like, you could be with New England and you win a tough game versus whoever, the Chiefs or whatever.

Speaker 9 And then the next week you're playing the Jets and you're just like, all right, this is the letdown game. But in New England, you hate the Jets.

Speaker 9 So it's just like, if this is an easy team, like we want to beat the brakes off of them. Or it's a team that's at a conference and it's just like, well, we barely play this team.

Speaker 9 So we're going to have to put an extra. I feel like there's always something that makes that game tough.

Speaker 9 And because it only happens for the good teams, the bad teams, you're trying to win every single game because you just lost the one before.

Speaker 9 But I think for the good teams, there's always some form of a theme or something going on that makes that game important at the time.

Speaker 1 Okay, okay, that makes sense.

Speaker 6 What was the team that you hated the most?

Speaker 9 That I played on or while I was playing against?

Speaker 1 Well, we can do both, either rounds.

Speaker 1 You already said you don't want to be back in that facility.

Speaker 9 Team I hated while playing.

Speaker 9 I would say when I was in Tennessee playing against Houston,

Speaker 9 there was a lot of hate. I think there was history between the Titans from Houston as the Oilers, then going over to Tennessee.

Speaker 9 So there was always like a rivalry that was forming and that was brewing in two relatively new teams because Tennessee hadn't had a team until they moved from Houston and the Houston was the expansion team.

Speaker 9 So there was always kind of those rivalries. And then the fact that Cortland and Andre got into a fight didn't help the fact that when we played them, you better be ready to go.

Speaker 1 Okay, so I had one last question. This has been great.
We appreciate you coming by, Jason. You're now a recurring guest, so you have to come anytime.

Speaker 9 It's down the street from the street. down the street.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'll chop it up.

Speaker 1 Give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 14 Sebastian Maniscalco's new stand-up special, It Ain't Right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st.

Speaker 1 30 years ago, Jeff Bezos, complete nerd. Bezos now ripped to shreds on his super yacht, and the boxes keep coming.

Speaker 14 Sebastian Maniscalco, It Ain't Right, premieres November 21st, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle bundle subscribers. Terms apply.

Speaker 1 Give us your Super Bowl pick.

Speaker 9 Matchup and winner.

Speaker 1 Super Bowl. Again, remember everything we've told you.
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 9 All right. I'm telling you my winner off rip.
I'm going with the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen.

Speaker 1 Okay, I like him.

Speaker 9 I see him.

Speaker 9 And this is also my reasoning with him. There hasn't been many times.
I don't know if there's been a time where you've won the Super Bowl and the league MVP.

Speaker 9 And I feel like Josh Allen's trajectory is going that way. But I feel like the storyline this year will be Patrick Mahomes losing Tyreek Hill and him continuing to be able to put up performance.

Speaker 9 He'll be possibly the MVP. Maybe.
We'll see. But on the NFC side,

Speaker 9 oh man, I think I'm going to go. I think I'm going to go.

Speaker 1 Why not?

Speaker 9 I'm going to do a team that nobody wants to hear. I'm going to go to Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 1 I'm going to put them.

Speaker 9 I'll put them in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 9 I'll go on Twitter and whoever reads this is going to kill me.

Speaker 9 We did a segment where we had to talk about who was under the most pressure in the NFC East quarterbacks and I chose Dak Prescott and somebody tweeted me like, why the hell are you always talking about the Cowboys?

Speaker 9 I'm like, I'm literally saying they're under pressure because they may not do it, but everybody's saying they're good. So people hate to hear about the Cowboys.

Speaker 6 Also, I mean, that's just TV.

Speaker 1 Like, talk about the Cowboys. It doesn't matter what you say.
Yeah, right.

Speaker 6 And you'll get people watching. Exactly.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, that would be an all-time classic matchup, Bills, Cowboys again.
But yeah, I don't, I just don't see it.

Speaker 1 Like, Mike McCarthy to me, he just, it feels feels like they're just waiting to fire him. He's too dumb.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I'm just going to say, like, that's what Big Cats, that's what he's thinking. We all think it.
Mike McCarthy is a dumb dumb. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And he's just, he's a turkey. They're just waiting to fire him.
They're like, hey, we're. Yeah,

Speaker 9 every time Jerry Jones talks, that's what it sounds like.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Sean Payton is probably like flying in the back of Jerry Jones' plane just in case this is the week that Mike McCarthy gets fired.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 6 We'll just switch him right out. Take over.
And yeah, I sound a little mean when I call Mike McCarthy dumb, but he's dumb. Yeah, I know he is.
He's dumb.

Speaker 6 Like he sat down in that opening press conference, and he was like, yeah, you know, I sat down with a guy that's really good at computers and he taught me about all these stats. That was bullshit.

Speaker 1 Mike McCarthy, he doesn't give a shit about stats. Well, and it's also, I mean, it's, it's just a fact.

Speaker 1 As a bigger guy myself, like when you're, when you're overweight and you're dumb, you're extra dumb. Like it just, there's something about it where it's just like, well, he's really dumb.

Speaker 9 I've always been really skinny, so I don't know. I can't

Speaker 9 know the feeling of being dumb.

Speaker 1 It takes a while for people to say you're dumb.

Speaker 9 It takes a while for them to notice that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, whereas like Mike McCarthy, it's like, he's kind of like drooling on his face, like, what is going on? He's dumb.

Speaker 6 Yeah, like Bill can say something dumb, and people be like, oh, that's just his secret genius at work. But Coach Bilama says something dumb, and they're like, oh, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 He's this guy. Right.
Like, he's a slob. Yeah.
No, it's true.

Speaker 9 I'm just laughing at the fact that he went to Coach Bilma. Like,

Speaker 9 former Patriots coach. I was with Brett in New England.

Speaker 6 He's a good dude, though. We like him.

Speaker 1 Really good dude. But he's awesome.

Speaker 1 He's a huge guy. Huge guy.
Good dude. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Coaching lifestyle is tough. Like, not much sleep.
Like, sometimes you're just grabbing a treat.

Speaker 9 It's tough to stay healthy as a coach, man. You get those workouts and it's tough.

Speaker 6 You think about becoming a coach after you retire? It was always going to be like, let's see what we can do in media.

Speaker 9 If not media, just figuring out what was next, never coaching.

Speaker 9 I said to my wife, I hope I never get to urge the coach. It's just, I mean, they're in the building daily till like midnight.

Speaker 9 You miss so much of. the world going on outside of just like we're trying to win a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Oh, I had one last, last question. Sorry.

Speaker 1 We've talked about this with Jules, but was there ever a moment that Ernie Adams pulled you aside and was like, hey, here's a little tip?

Speaker 9 It was more like history.

Speaker 9 Something would come up like maybe 8 o'clock a.m. And in a meeting or something came up, somebody asked a question about it.
It had the answer.

Speaker 9 It'd be like four o'clock, days ending, and Ernie would come up to you with like a whole stat and a story behind like why something was installed.

Speaker 9 It was almost like incredible that it was just like damn he remembered that and the thing that was fun about Ernie like he would draw the cards that for the scout team on Friday practices so like as a defense like Friday as a vet is just like

Speaker 1 I'm not going through the motions, but like I got to get ready for it.

Speaker 9 We're two sleeps away from the game. I got to get ready.
I'm not trying to go out here and run 100%.

Speaker 9 And the offense, sometimes the scout team offense would go out there and destroy us. And like for guys on the defense, you'd be like, man, Ernie's drawing shit up.

Speaker 9 Like they didn't show this on film in the past 16, 15 weeks. And now all of a sudden, we're getting a double reverse pass on a Friday.
And it's just like, you could say something to Ernie.

Speaker 9 He'll have like in 1984, they ran this play.

Speaker 1 Like, he's brilliant, brilliant. Did you ever like work out that he would run something in the English? I can't remember.

Speaker 9 I can't remember which team we played, but I mean, we got killed in a Friday practice to the point where this was in 18. Flow like stopped the practice and like snapped on all of us.

Speaker 9 We had one of our best performances on defense that Sunday and shut out. I don't remember who we played, but killed him that Sunday.

Speaker 9 Ernie is a genius. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, we love hearing just, I mean, Jules gives us a little bit. I think he holds some of it back.
Yeah. There's a mystery around Ernie Adams.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, Jason, thank you so much. Good luck with the new show.

Speaker 1 Like I said, you got to come back. Yes, sir.
So you're right down the street.

Speaker 1 Maybe we'll have you back when the Cowboys start like one and six or something. We're like, what do you think now?

Speaker 9 I'm going to say I never said that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, we're going to hold you to everything.

Speaker 6 Let us know if you get if you you know go up to New England for a week Yeah,

Speaker 9 we'll figure that out Make that video We'll get a good video Yeah, we'll get you guys to sponsor it so we can get some money out of it

Speaker 1 Yes, yes, absolutely. All right, thanks so much

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 Mount Rushmore time.

Speaker 1 This is,

Speaker 1 we got three left.

Speaker 1 I assume we're the week of the first week of September, we're not going to do any because football will be back. Yeah, I would agree.

Speaker 6 We probably only have three left ever.

Speaker 6 Why? Ever. Because I think this is going to destroy the podcast.

Speaker 1 It might destroy the podcast. So Hank has, if you miss Fridays, Hank stabbed.
Batgirl and memes in the back, threw them off the bus, said that I want to do this shit myself,

Speaker 1 Pouted

Speaker 1 Being a little bitch some people are saying not me. I love you Hank being a little bitch.
No, I have no bad attitude.

Speaker 6 Listen, I have no problem with what Hank did, but if he had done it to me, I would be like, wow, this guy's a terrible human being.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 Basically, like almost a how-to of how not to be a coach or a leader of a team.

Speaker 6 How to alienate your entire team and turn the world against you.

Speaker 5 No, I'm calling plays myself now.

Speaker 1 By Hank Locker. Okay.
Call him plays yourself.

Speaker 1 So Hank, would you... Did we win? We won last time.
Oh, we won.

Speaker 1 Should we let Hank go? Did you?

Speaker 7 Yeah, yeah. They won Bally 5%.

Speaker 7 Shout out Nick Hanrich, JWL, for the recommendation on this one.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. So this is Mount Rushmore of Things That It Sucks to Be Late To.

Speaker 1 Late for?

Speaker 6 I say we do Hank a favor and we let him take the end of the snake so he gets two picks in a row.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 6 I think that's the best place to be.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Should we go first then?

Speaker 6 Yeah, we can go first.

Speaker 1 Or do you you want to let you want to let Jake and Billy go first? Yeah, they'll fuck it up. Yeah, okay.
Let them go first. All right, so Jake and Billy.
Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 Jake, Billy, and Max.

Speaker 7 Yeah, we have Max.

Speaker 1 We have memes.

Speaker 7 Right now, we are all pretty much in agreement on our 1-1.

Speaker 1 By the way, just as a side note, we have memes on our team, and we're not going to do what Hank did and bash memes.

Speaker 1 But memes contributed nothing to this fucking amount of question.

Speaker 1 Zero. Well, he said that

Speaker 6 the thing that he sent over to us, his first one, he said, should be 1-1.

Speaker 1 I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 Maybe he's a spy and he's still giving Hank picks.

Speaker 6 Oh, is he double-crossing us?

Speaker 1 You guys are shook.

Speaker 6 Did Memes send Hank our entire list?

Speaker 1 All right. Yeah, he probably did.

Speaker 6 Okay, that's good because we put a few fake ones on there just in case. Yep.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Which one are we? We have an agreement. Yeah.
1-1.

Speaker 6 Worst things to be late to?

Speaker 9 Job interview.

Speaker 1 Late to, late for? Yeah.

Speaker 6 A job interview. Job interview.

Speaker 1 Okay. Job interview.
Yeah. It's not a good one.
Good one.

Speaker 1 You're in a hole. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, that's true. That's absolutely true.

Speaker 1 You're fucked. What? You're fucked.
Yeah, you're fucked. All right.

Speaker 1 R1-1 pick. You agree with this 1-1-1.
That's a good 1-1. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Things it sucks to be late for, late to,

Speaker 1 pulling out.

Speaker 1 Really bad. Really bad when you're late.

Speaker 6 Kind of defeats the entire purpose of it.

Speaker 1 Kills it.

Speaker 6 Guess what?

Speaker 1 Oh, babe, I'm about to pull out. Oh, shit.

Speaker 6 Guess what? Green pie.

Speaker 1 You have to raise a kid. Yeah.

Speaker 5 Well, there's alternate options, too. Like, that's not.

Speaker 1 Whoa, what state are you living in, buddy?

Speaker 5 Plan B.

Speaker 1 Excuse me?

Speaker 1 Is plan B not every street?

Speaker 6 Maybe not for long.

Speaker 1 Yeah, pulling out. That sucks.
Pulling out.

Speaker 6 Job interviews, so what? You don't get the job.

Speaker 1 There's other jobs out there.

Speaker 1 Now you got a kid. Right.
Okay. Billy also just like that one blew his mind because he was thinking like job interview, weddings.
Like, there's some other things out there.

Speaker 10 I had that on, what was it, the other Matt Rushmore the other day.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 5 just things in slow motion.

Speaker 1 Yeah, slow motion, pulling out. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, Hank. Hank has written it down on a piece of paper.
I do. He's wearing a collared shirt.

Speaker 5 And I still, and this football guy, crew neck.

Speaker 1 Which is a great, great sweatshirt.

Speaker 5 I still have my 1-1. I feel like I'm being trolled to an extent, but my 1-1 is your child being born.

Speaker 1 Okay. Yeah, unless.
Yeah, they don't remember.

Speaker 6 Maybe playing a football game at the time.

Speaker 5 I think here the person having the child probably would.

Speaker 1 Maybe.

Speaker 1 Yeah, true. Do you think, though, maybe the person having the child is more mad that she's having the child because you forgot to pull out?

Speaker 1 No. Okay.

Speaker 5 And then.

Speaker 1 Chicken and the egg right there.

Speaker 1 Like, which one are you more mad at?

Speaker 5 Two, I will go with a a fantasy football draft.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, that is bad. That's pretty bad.

Speaker 5 You show up late for that. You tank your whole season.

Speaker 6 Auto draft, yeah. And then everyone else is mad at you, too.

Speaker 10 You can draft from your phone nowadays, though.

Speaker 5 Yes, if you're on time.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yes.
On time. You forget about it.
But

Speaker 1 being on time. Yeah.
You're not doing playthings. No, if you just forget, if you just are late to your fantasy football draft, you do the auto draft and you get like a guy who just got injured.

Speaker 1 It fucking sucks.

Speaker 1 Or you do the thing where you get a defense in like the sixth round?

Speaker 6 Yeah, one time I was late for a, I was doing a baseball MLB fantasy draft when I was in college, and I just completely forgot about it.

Speaker 6 And all the other guys in that league, nine guys, it took me like five years to get that friendship back. They were so mad that I fucked up their entire draft.

Speaker 5 How are that CMAT Express doing?

Speaker 1 Oh, good question, Hank.

Speaker 6 Let's see. I might need to re-download the app because I forgot about it for last month.

Speaker 1 Let's see. When I was a kid, my dad was so committed to not being late to a fantasy draft that he actually left me at the Little League field.

Speaker 6 That's good parenting. He does his lead by example.

Speaker 1 Okay. Because he had a draft.
All right.

Speaker 6 Update on the Seam Head Express.

Speaker 1 He didn't pick me up. He was supposed to pick me up, and he had a draft, so he forgot about me.

Speaker 5 And there was like no cell phones.

Speaker 1 They were doing it on like a fucking overhead projector. Legit.

Speaker 5 And you couldn't like.

Speaker 1 You have to call in trades and shit. No, but like, how did you.

Speaker 5 No, I'm saying you couldn't call him. There was no cell phones.

Speaker 1 No, right. No, no, no, no, no, no.
None of that. Yeah.

Speaker 6 14-4 and 0. Win percentage 778.
First place in the East. I got the number one overall seed right now if the playoffs started.
Nice. I'm a fucking wagon.
Nice. And I still have...
No, no, I cut Tatis.

Speaker 6 I cut him. Good.
Cut his ass. Good.
Send a message. The youngsters out there.

Speaker 1 All right, we got next pick.

Speaker 1 I think we should go. Yeah, we should.

Speaker 1 It's kind of topical.

Speaker 6 I saw the one that you sent.

Speaker 6 You don't like those top two? No, I like them, but then I went back, and

Speaker 6 I like the one, two, three,

Speaker 6 fourth one that I sent you. Maybe we take that one in the last round.

Speaker 1 The fourth one that I sent you.

Speaker 6 Okay. So I'll go with our number two on this list.
Yeah, yeah. Go into the bathroom.
Don't want to be late for that. You're on a train.

Speaker 6 You're trying to get somewhere, hypothetically, and you end up having a full blowout.

Speaker 1 Sad day, bad day. It's catastrophe.

Speaker 6 It looked like George Brett dumped a can of wolf chili into his underwear.

Speaker 1 It was bad. It was really bad.
Being late for the bathroom, that's really, really bad. Yeah.

Speaker 6 I've been honestly, it got into my head. Oh, yeah.
Now I'm like,

Speaker 6 every time I feel something in my stomach, I sprint to a bathroom because I can't have that happen.

Speaker 1 That was, um, that's like watching, um, remember that, what was that movie that, ah, fuck, Adam Driver and

Speaker 1 Scarlett Johansson. Oh, the very marriage thing, one.
You watch that with your significant other, and you're like, whoa. That's the same effect that I had when I watched Jerry's, and I'm like, whoa.

Speaker 1 That could happen. Do I have, like, I have to do a systems check? Yeah.
Like,

Speaker 1 this is, you watch Chernobyl and you're like, that could happen to me.

Speaker 6 Dude, I'm not even kidding. The last couple days, I've pooped probably like three times, four times a day.
What, Billy? What was that?

Speaker 10 You're a poop guy.

Speaker 6 Billy keeps saying I'm a poop guy.

Speaker 1 Are you a poop guy? He's a poop guy. Are you a poop guy?

Speaker 1 But are you a poop guy? I think I might be a poop guy.

Speaker 10 Like, pooping takes up a lot of your day.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 10 You have to, we like wait for the podcast because you're pooping.

Speaker 1 You're pooping. No, no, no.

Speaker 2 You're a poop guy.

Speaker 6 No, I never delay this podcast with my brother.

Speaker 6 I delay macrodos occasionally.

Speaker 1 I was pooping recently on Grit Week.

Speaker 10 We were in In-N-Out, and he was just pooping the whole time.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's like, where's PFT? And he's pooping.
You're a poop guy. That's okay.
It's a poopin' in- I'm sorry. No, you're a poop guy.
Scott Boris. Yeah.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
I did poop.

Speaker 1 Yeah, see, I might be a pipe. No, you are.
You're a poop guy. Yeah, it might be a poop guy.
You're absolutely right. He is a poop guy.

Speaker 1 He's a hold up-the-group poop guy.

Speaker 6 I've been pooping more often recently just because of that Jersey Jerry video because I don't want it to happen to me. I've been running to the bathroom all day.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. No, I left the house today with my kids, and I was like, I felt like I had maybe like a little something going.
I was like, wait, I should probably take care of of this now.

Speaker 6 Yeah, it's better safe than sorry.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, whatever. I'm a poop guy.

Speaker 6 My digestive system is healthy.

Speaker 1 I don't think you can get it. Yeah, I mean, it does suck being the poop guy.
Everyone's like, oh, yeah, we got to wait. Oh, it's like TFT's taking a shit.

Speaker 6 It rarely happens.

Speaker 1 It's so much.

Speaker 6 We just gave four examples over the course of seven years doing this podcast.

Speaker 1 But I don't think you have an example of anyone else. That's the problem.
If you were gone, we would know, oh, he's probably.

Speaker 6 Yeah, Jake's a bit way bigger than a poop guy. I've never run out in the middle of an episode.

Speaker 10 Never done that. He's got weak bowels, but that's different.

Speaker 6 I think Jake's got great bowels.

Speaker 10 Like, if you went missing, everyone assumes it's because you're pooping.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's just pooping. You just forgot that you're pooping.

Speaker 6 Like that one day that I came in at one o'clock. Yeah, you're in the past.
I was actually just pooping the entire time.

Speaker 1 Exactly.

Speaker 1 It's a correct call by Billy. You are the poop guy.

Speaker 6 Okay, whatever. I'm poop guy.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Billy.

Speaker 1 Jake.

Speaker 1 You have two.

Speaker 10 We're going to go.

Speaker 10 We're going to go first.

Speaker 10 You guys, you see that?

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. There's some.

Speaker 6 No, I got distracted by the.

Speaker 10 No, no, I got distracted by the poop guy, and I didn't see what our 2-2 was.

Speaker 1 So is this a Billy pick or is it a Jake pick? Or a Max. Team game?

Speaker 8 Or Max, yeah.

Speaker 5 Why does it matter?

Speaker 10 We all agreed on these picks.

Speaker 6 So your own wedding.

Speaker 1 Being late is your own wedding. Good pick.
Good pick.

Speaker 8 Because then are you standing them up?

Speaker 10 Like, you're late. What were you doing the night before? Bachelor party gone wrong.

Speaker 6 You get really judged by everybody. Yeah,

Speaker 1 you're stuck on a rooftop in Vegas. Exactly.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 6 So it's always weird in movies because I don't think this ever happens in real life. But every movie that's about a wedding, they always have the bachelor party the night before.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Which is the worst idea that you can ever have. Nobody really does that, right? It's crazy.
I want to know if there are any AWLs out there that...

Speaker 5 I think that's like an old back in the day. I know my dad did that.

Speaker 1 I think it's guys like sweating and who don't have a lot of friends. So they're like, the only chance I can get anyone is to have them already be at the wedding.
So like they play golf before.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? Like, yeah, if you are someone who might not have a ton of friends and you're like, well, if I do a bachelor party and there's three guys here, it's going to be lame.

Speaker 1 So, we'll just trap everyone and just make everyone go play golf.

Speaker 6 Yeah, like there's always a guy in the group that's like, I don't want to go to the wedding, but can you invite me to the bachelor party? Yeah. And this is a way to trap them and be like, guess what?

Speaker 6 You have to do both nights.

Speaker 6 I think it's also moved that if you think that there's a chance that you might get cold feet, you have the bachelor party the night before, and then you have, like, you're more, you're more likely when you're super hungover to call it off.

Speaker 1 Shout out, by the way, the AWL that I saw

Speaker 1 on the way to Miami, boarding my plane,

Speaker 1 he goes, he's like 25, and he came up to me, he was talking, he's like, yeah, I'm going to my first ever bachelor party.

Speaker 1 And the twinkle in his eye, it was like a passing of the torch, because I think this is the last one I'll ever go on. And he was so excited.
He's like, we're going to club or doing this.

Speaker 1 And I was just like, I looked like I was going to fucking war. I was like, yeah, I'm doing the same thing as you, but I'm just not going going to be able to recover.

Speaker 6 One of the cruel tricks in life is the more excited you are to go on a bachelor party when you're young is when you don't have, like, not everybody has steady jobs and good incomes when you're younger, and you're super excited to go in a bachelor party.

Speaker 6 Then when you get older and you can actually afford to do all the stuff that you wanted to do when you were 22, 23, you don't want to do that anymore.

Speaker 1 Right. Yeah.
I had a great time, but I also feel like hell. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
Next pick.

Speaker 7 Max, would you like to announce it?

Speaker 1 Ooh, big moment. Wow, wow.
Wow, what a great delegation.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Awesome.

Speaker 6 I don't think that's ever happened, right, Max?

Speaker 6 No, no, I'm just happy to be a part of a team that appreciates my

Speaker 1 didn't Hink used to keep you in a cage? Yeah, no, no, for sure, for sure.

Speaker 6 Yeah, did he refill your bowl tonight?

Speaker 10 We use his government name, too.

Speaker 1 Nice. Beautiful.
That's true.

Speaker 7 It's very nice.

Speaker 1 We'll go with our third pick as flights.

Speaker 1 Ah, good pick.

Speaker 1 Good pick.

Speaker 6 Being late to a flight.

Speaker 7 Costs you a couple hundred bucks at the best case scenario.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 A bunch of stress. Even if you're on time for your flight, barely, but you're like late getting to the airport, that's almost worse.

Speaker 6 The stress that you have when you're in the cab on the way there and you're just thinking

Speaker 6 you're doing the math. Like, am I going to make it? Am I going to be late? And then you run through security, you're sweating.
TSA holds you.

Speaker 6 They always check your bag when you think that you might be late for the flight. And then you sprint and then you get on the plane and you're like the last person on the plane.
You're out of breath.

Speaker 6 That entire situation is bad.

Speaker 5 Or when you're, yeah, you're like, because you never know.

Speaker 5 Security lines are always like so inconsistent there's no time where sometimes they're good sometimes they're bad it's just a complete crapshoot so

Speaker 5 you're pulling up to the airport being like i need it to be a small line i need it to be a small line and then if it's even half the size or like a full long line you're like i'm yeah but you still have to go through the line just in case And then you end up having like one minute to sprint to the terminal.

Speaker 6 Yeah, and you think you're going to be on time and getting through and then you remember about time zones and you're like, oh shit, I'm an hour late in this flight.

Speaker 5 I get a sick rush. Going back there this weekend, we'll see.

Speaker 1 Oh, nice. Uh-oh.
Careful.

Speaker 6 They change the times.

Speaker 1 Careful. I know.
All right, good pick. Our third pick.

Speaker 6 What do you think?

Speaker 6 Let's see. I think that we take the one that I just told you about.
We take that coming back because Hank's not going to take that one. No, he's an idiot.
I kind of like

Speaker 6 the one that we have on there.

Speaker 1 The third? Yeah.

Speaker 6 I do too. The third one's pretty good.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Call in a foul and pick up hoops.

Speaker 6 No one likes that guy.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's the the worst thing you can be as a person. To call the foul after everything happens and then just be like, oh, you hit my hand.

Speaker 6 Yeah, after the shot doesn't go in. Yeah.

Speaker 10 Have you ever called it early and then you get it in and they don't count the shot?

Speaker 6 Like pre-crime? No.

Speaker 1 Like this guy's about to fall in?

Speaker 1 I don't call fouls.

Speaker 10 No, but like you get fouled really hard, but you still go up and you call foul.

Speaker 1 Well, that's what you do. You call it when it happens.

Speaker 10 Right, right, but then they don't give you the and one.

Speaker 1 I like play, I like it when it's just obvious that there's a foul. And it's just like everyone, no one even has to call it.
It's just just like, that was clearly a foul.

Speaker 1 Or the guy who fouls calls a foul. But when you call a foul on someone after a play in pickup hoops, you are the worst person alive.

Speaker 1 Like, and it's, and it's like a 50-50 call or not even a foul, the worst.

Speaker 7 Michael Irvin in longest yard against Adam Sandler.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's right. Yep.
That was a dirty, dirty play. Yep.
Yep. Okay.

Speaker 1 Hank.

Speaker 5 I'm going to go with

Speaker 5 my third pick, Court.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Imagine you get the stink guy.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah. It's got to be tough.

Speaker 5 Show up late. I'm sure the judge doesn't appreciate that.

Speaker 1 You're just screwing yourself. You're in confusion.

Speaker 10 Well, you end up waiting for so long.

Speaker 1 Say what you will about OJ, but he always showed up on time to court. It's true.

Speaker 1 He's technically in jail.

Speaker 10 But when you go to court, they just end up, you have to wait for everybody else. Like, court opens at 11.

Speaker 6 How many times have you been to court? Yeah, what? It opens at 11?

Speaker 6 Like, just court in general always opens at 11?

Speaker 1 What are you doing here, Billy?

Speaker 8 And what people are you waiting for?

Speaker 1 Traffic court. Traffic court? Traffic court.
What about other courts? Just traffic court court. What time does that court open?

Speaker 1 For citations and traffic violations. It's 11 o'clock.
Speeding tickets.

Speaker 10 Speeding tickets.

Speaker 1 Speeding tickets.

Speaker 6 That's it.

Speaker 10 And then you go, and then you have to wait for everybody else.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 10 I don't know why anyone else would be going to court.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 5 A lot of things. People go to court for many reasons.

Speaker 11 Just speeding tickets.

Speaker 1 That's it. Yes.
Nothing else? Never?

Speaker 10 I've actually never gotten any sort of criminal trouble.

Speaker 1 Knocking on wood. You can control that.
I know.

Speaker 7 I've only gotten traffic violations.

Speaker 1 No, but you knock on wood when it's like, I hope I don't break my leg.

Speaker 6 Billy.

Speaker 6 Billy definitely thinks that at some point in his life, he will be the target of mass framing. Oh, yeah.
Where like the entire world is against him?

Speaker 10 Happens to some people.

Speaker 1 Like who? Anyone recently? Snowden? Anyone recently? No.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 6 Give Billy's due process, everybody.

Speaker 10 Okay. Okay, our pick is.

Speaker 1 Oh, we got Billy so flustered. You're two picks away.
Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 1 As soon as we start talking about crime, Billy's just ready to

Speaker 1 admit to everything. All right.
Go ahead.

Speaker 5 And then my final pick, I will go with a sports tryout.

Speaker 1 Okay, so what is your four?

Speaker 5 Your child being born,

Speaker 5 court, fantasy football draft, sports tryout.

Speaker 1 Sports tryout. That's an interesting last picture.

Speaker 6 Was there anyone specifically you were thinking of? Because that seems like it came out of the blue.

Speaker 5 No, I mean, I think.

Speaker 6 Has anybody been late to a sports tryout?

Speaker 5 I'm sure there's a lot of people that have been late to sports tryout. Obviously, the coaches, you know, they want to make an example of someone.

Speaker 1 Isn't that on your parents anyway? You just be like, my parents fucking suck.

Speaker 5 Well, yeah, but maybe you're in college, you're trying out for a team, whatever it may be. If you're late for a sports tryout, you're just screwing yourself.

Speaker 6 I'll stand up for Hank a little bit. There's nothing worse than being late to a high school football meeting.

Speaker 1 Right, I mean, because the coaches,

Speaker 6 that's what they love is like everybody's five minutes early to my meeting.

Speaker 5 I'm in between that and

Speaker 5 showing up late to the first practice of the season because then you're just

Speaker 1 pretty bad.

Speaker 5 But you can kind of make up for that throughout the rest of the season.

Speaker 5 The coaches almost like that because they can make an example out of you and then

Speaker 5 get better during the season. But you show up late to a tryout.

Speaker 1 That might be the reason you get cut. I was just saying.

Speaker 5 Some coaches are like that where it's like, well, he's good, but he showed up late. We can't have that on this team.

Speaker 1 When When you're a kid, though, there's definitely like, there's definitely just all the kids.

Speaker 1 Like, there's always one kid on every team whose parents are just a mess and like, not mess like bad, but just they're always late. It's like, yeah, that's their parents' fault.

Speaker 1 So there's definitely a point where it becomes your fault, but for a long time, you're, I mean, you can't drive yourself.

Speaker 6 Right. If an eight-year-old's late.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right. It's not his fault.
Right. Okay.
Guess who's pooping? Yeah.

Speaker 6 My, our last one.

Speaker 5 Oh, I got my top four.

Speaker 1 We're going to go with

Speaker 6 interesting.

Speaker 1 Like the 20s. I wouldn't be bragging about that being your top four.

Speaker 6 For our last one, we're going to go Mount Rushmore of Worse Things to Be Late to, a podcast taping after watching a lacrosse movie the night before.

Speaker 6 That would be a bad one to be late for.

Speaker 1 Pretty badly. Pretty bad.

Speaker 7 By the way, Fate of a Sport, that exact movie where we went to the after party, debuts on ESPN Plus today.

Speaker 6 Well, be careful when you watch it. It might be

Speaker 1 Now I trigger you into getting drunk and missing your job.

Speaker 6 To stand up for Billy on this one now, it might be like that movie The Ring where you see the ring and then you die later. If you watch this movie, you might be late to work the next day.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 7 Yeah, so the show that Billy entertained clients afterwards is now available to you.

Speaker 1 It might get you so much plus. Yeah, warnings that you're talking about.
That

Speaker 6 makes you want to get drunk.

Speaker 7 Yeah, so it actually was a fantastic documentary. And if you don't even like lacrosse, it's cool to see how a league is created from scratch.

Speaker 1 yes agreed all right so everyone go watch it support our friend paul rabel all right last pick

Speaker 1 billy's thinking about like what crimes did i almost

Speaker 1 say i hope the court people yeah i hope the people who i go to court everyone knows traffic court opens at 11 a.m every tuesday the judge spends all morning like looking at actual cases and like meeting with like prosecutors but you also i was talking about court in general and then you just decided that because traffic court opens at 11 a.m that's what usually people are going to court for.

Speaker 1 Our last pick is be late if you were being the getaway driver while your friends were robbing a bank.

Speaker 5 That's actually a solid pick. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That is. That is actually a pretty good pick.

Speaker 10 Being late on your period.

Speaker 6 All right. Yeah.
Yeah. Good one.
That's like a distant cousin of the pulling out one.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Now, so

Speaker 1 I had that.

Speaker 6 I put that in our list. We went with the pullout instead because I thought about it a little bit.
It's not always bad to be late for your period. If you're trying to get pregnant, It's a great thing.

Speaker 6 It might be like the best day of your life.

Speaker 1 That's true. Finally did it.

Speaker 1 It could go either way.

Speaker 6 Yeah, it's a real feast or famine.

Speaker 6 It's like Jim Tomey swinging.

Speaker 6 You're either going to strike out or

Speaker 1 in a 500-yard

Speaker 8 male listeners think.

Speaker 10 Oh, you think you're going to be... 13 to 35.

Speaker 1 They wouldn't want to periods. Yeah, wouldn't

Speaker 1 pulling out be the

Speaker 1 one that other people relate to.

Speaker 10 But I think

Speaker 1 will

Speaker 1 who knows? Okay, let's talk about what we missed. Did everyone else have other things we missed? I had

Speaker 5 Jake's, their first book was kind of too similar, but like a work presentation.

Speaker 5 Because you can show up late to work sometimes if you can sneak in or kind of get by, but if you're

Speaker 5 supposed to be in a meeting or something where you're presenting and you like they're expecting you to speak at,

Speaker 5 you'd never want to be late for that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I had a flag against your team. Like, that's just the worst.
A late flag.

Speaker 7 Or like the graphic being late.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it just fucking kills you when it's like game over flag. Like, if you're a Miami fan

Speaker 6 in that. That's still too soon.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's still too soon.

Speaker 6 Renewing a passport is bad because then you'll have to change vacation plans.

Speaker 6 We had...

Speaker 6 If you're Adam Schefter and you're behind Ian Rappaport, breaking news on Twitter, then all his replies are just late, late, late.

Speaker 5 Rap sheet had it first.

Speaker 1 Being late to post

Speaker 1 like a viral video sucks because everyone's like, oh, dude, saw that. Like, I laughed so hard.
Last time I saw it, I laughed so hard I fell off my dinosaur.

Speaker 1 And it's like, you're four hours late to it. It's fucking worst.
Like, I could even sense tonight when we told you that Poe got hurt. Yeah.
Like a little bit of you was like, what the fuck?

Speaker 1 I can't believe I missed that. Right.
It's the worst. It's the internet has completely warped our brains.

Speaker 1 Like a fucking mascot got hurt and your initial like natural reaction is like, damn, how did I miss that?

Speaker 6 I saw it, yeah, I saw it 24 hours later.

Speaker 6 It might as well be next month, right? Right.

Speaker 10 Or being like late to a joke.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 10 Because someone makes it before you and then they think you're copying.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 6 Um, if you're late to a cruise ship that's leaving after a day that they've dropped you off on like a day trip and it's pulling away and you know you're absolutely fucked. Yep.

Speaker 1 Late to the train. Sucks.
Yep. Miss it by a second.
I had this one kind of specific, but like the kid who was late to learning how to ride a bike,

Speaker 1 that sucked for any kid who like was the last kid to learn how to ride a bike. There's always like one kid running by them or like on the pegs.

Speaker 1 It's like, dude, you just got to learn how to ride a bike.

Speaker 7 We had a practice led by Bill Belichick.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Good one.

Speaker 6 Good one. That's why Gray got cut, right? Yeah.

Speaker 6 Slept in after he scored, what, three, four touchdowns?

Speaker 5 Three, four.

Speaker 10 I think it was three against the Colts.

Speaker 1 He's on Sports Illustrated. Yep.
Yeah.

Speaker 10 A drawbridge.

Speaker 1 Oh, train crossing.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 5 A movie.

Speaker 5 I mean, it's not that, you know, not top four, but I showed up late to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, like 15 minutes late, and I missed the entire

Speaker 5 flamethrower beginning. So when it happened at the end, they're like, oh, that was from the beginning.
I was like, oh.

Speaker 7 You get like 15, 20 minutes of relief.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It sucks to be late to a game and have like some cool play happen. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 Especially when you're like just late and you get to your seats, but the usher's like, oh, you have to wait for a whistle or a timeout or something.

Speaker 1 Like a goal and playoff hockey or a touchdown. You're just like, what the fuck?

Speaker 6 It would suck to be late if you were giving an order to send your tanks to reinforce your troops in western France when an allied invasion is happening.

Speaker 6 That would probably be a pretty big mistake if you were to make that one.

Speaker 1 It shouldn't be late there. No.
That's a fact.

Speaker 1 Anything else? That was a good Mount Rushmore. Great Mount Rushmore.
All right. I feel like we've had some good Mount Rushmores.

Speaker 6 Yeah, Hank, you weren't as bad as I thought you'd be.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you actually saw... Like, maybe just you being by yourself fixed all of your attitude problems.
Yeah, you're a lone wolf.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean, I told you, I'm a new man. I've turned over a new leaf football season.
I'm a sweet dick.

Speaker 1 You did a great job. Thanks.
It was a pleasure to be around you.

Speaker 5 You guys did it. All right.

Speaker 1 No, we're just.

Speaker 1 There's. What was your guys final?

Speaker 6 I'm being fake against him because we know that we won.

Speaker 10 I think we got job interview, your own wedding,

Speaker 9 flight, periods.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you guys might win. Jilly might win.
Hank's not, but Jilly might win.

Speaker 6 Hank didn't lose catastrophe.

Speaker 1 No, catastrophic. He was just born.

Speaker 1 I fell asleep during his. Who decides who wins?

Speaker 1 The people. Oh.
Right. I fell asleep during yours.

Speaker 5 So you're talking about it like the results are decided already.

Speaker 10 They kind of do decide who wins.

Speaker 1 What? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Low-key, the bull decides.

Speaker 10 There's a direct correlation to them saying, oh, they had a really good Mount Rushmore. They'll win.
And who actually wins?

Speaker 1 So we don't know.

Speaker 7 multiple drawings today in honor of the birthday of the machine?

Speaker 1 No, I.

Speaker 7 We did nine on opening day, August 26th, 2020.

Speaker 1 I'm down to do two. How old is the machine? Two.
Two. I'm down to do two for its birthday.

Speaker 1 Yeah, for its birthday?

Speaker 6 Maybe Hank will get one. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hank, have you gotten one?

Speaker 5 I have not.

Speaker 1 Oh. It's crazy.

Speaker 6 You like it on your own show?

Speaker 1 Wait, how old is the machine? Two years. Two.
It's a lot.

Speaker 6 How many picks have we had?

Speaker 7 I think someone DM'd me like 350 or something.

Speaker 1 Wow. Okay.
And there's how many balls?

Speaker 6 350 in there?

Speaker 1 I think they actually said

Speaker 1 more impressive that Hank hasn't gotten it. No, don't do that, Jake.
Do not do that.

Speaker 1 Okay. Two.

Speaker 10 69.

Speaker 6 27. 27.

Speaker 1 56. I think we should have to keep the same pick.

Speaker 7 For both? Yeah.

Speaker 1 We'll give Hank even a better shot. 57.
27.

Speaker 6 26.

Speaker 1 56.

Speaker 1 What's your pick, Hank? Two.

Speaker 1 I'm rooting for you, Hank. Thanks.
To not get it right. Fuck.

Speaker 1 Eight.

Speaker 1 One more for a birthday. Fifth time.

Speaker 1 For the birthday boy, the ball with a 199 shot. Yeah, Hank.

Speaker 9 Would this be a Mickey Mouse if it's...

Speaker 1 Oh. It will definitely be a moment.
Obviously. Obviously.

Speaker 6 65.

Speaker 1 Oh, wait. No, no.
Oh, that's the shot.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 65. Does it count? Yeah, it counts.
It's a wedge.

Speaker 6 Love you guys.

Speaker 10 A lizard native to New Zealand called the Tatora has a third eye.
