Speaker 1 and Hard Knocks episode 3. This is what we go through every single year.

Speaker 1 Every year at week three, we reach the point where we're like, I think I'm ready for football.

Speaker 1 I was actually thinking about it while we were watching it. It was like, man, that feeling of hard knocks episode one is one of the best feelings in the calendar because you're like, we want football.

Speaker 1 It's the first moment of... Like, I know we have the Hall of Fame game, but that first episode is like, yes, we're back.
And then we get to episode two and we're like, oh, this is awesome.

Speaker 1 And then you get to episode three and you're like, okay, I want to play. I want to play real games.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think we still like the dan campbell show of course so this will be barstool dan talk and i like barstool dan talk when we focus on like dan campbell doing the everyday the ins and out dan campbell things i would like to see basically the truman show where it's dan campbell yeah where it's like 24 7 streamed i want to see him like cooking an omelette in the morning i want to see him like taking his tiny dogs out for a walk in the park um the football stuff is good but I'm concerned about his vascularity.

Speaker 1 The veins on Dan Campbell are just, I think he actually gets more veiny in his neck when he's happier. Like after that win.
He's like, winning is satisfying. And he looked like he wanted to head butt

Speaker 1 through a window pane. I think in that moment, because he did, it almost looks like he gets angrier the happier he gets.
Yes. Like he's angry that he's not happy like that more often.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and he, we had some good Dan Campbell moments. I mean, the

Speaker 1 bringing out the pants and showing how dirty they were, and we got to get the last bit of dirt off these pants. That was football guy through and through.

Speaker 1 A literal analogy that don't, it was a little weird. I was just like, what's going on here? Those are just dirty pants.
I was telling Jake, like, I wanted him to burn the pants.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I wanted him to, like, do something cool, like shred the pants. It gave me the energy.

Speaker 1 You remember back in elementary school when you'd have to come in for show and tell, and you didn't remember to bring anything? Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you're like on the bus on the way there, and you look in your backpack. You're like, shit, what do I, I got these pants.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let me get out of the back of my truck these pants that I haven't worn for a really long time. Here, this will be my speech today.
He also had the anti-fragile shirt, which

Speaker 1 I feel like he could have just had a shirt that said grit on it or toughness, but anti-fragile works too.

Speaker 1 I think at the start of the season, he had a coaching assistant just like run through a thesaurus and just give him all the different synonyms for grit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and then they finally reached the end where they're like anti-fragile. Yeah, they reached the antonyms part, and then they just slapped anti-on it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was the first iteration of that shirt was just non-fragile, and then they're like, no, let's go anti-fragile.

Speaker 1 But we had, this was the setup episode where they got us, you know, watching a bunch of players, getting their backstory who are eventually going to get cut.

Speaker 1 The feel-bad episode, you know, we had the offensive lineman, EZ, who said he hasn't been back to his home country since he came to America.

Speaker 1 I want to just stand up for EZ real quick. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because he dealt with something that I realized during this show I would absolutely hate about being a professional athlete, which is every every practice, every rep is videotaped. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And somebody goes back through it. Yeah.
My specialty when I played sports was just like finding when the coaches weren't looking and then just completely slacking off.

Speaker 1 Teasing off, yeah, and then being like, okay, they're looking now. We got to get back to like doing perfect reps.
And you can't do that with all this new technology. I think technology is

Speaker 1 ruining the art of slacking off. Yeah, we had the.

Speaker 1 Billy just nodded his head. Fuck you, Billy.
Yeah. Big time.
We had the running back whose brother has been in jail for the majority of his life. We had

Speaker 1 Rodrigo

Speaker 1 is still talked about because he'll make the team, it seems like.

Speaker 1 But there's a lot. Oh, Khalil Pimpleton, Maxion Legend, electric player, feels like they set him up to get cut.
So it was the setup episode.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I want Pimp to make the team just because they call him Pimp. That's the kind of cool thing.
Yes.

Speaker 1 And the highlight of the entire episode was by far and away Deuce Staley losing his voice and trying to yell his way to having his voice back. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Where he was like, I know I don't have a voice, but I'm still going to scream with no voice, and hopefully it will mysteriously just come back. He almost got more intimidating the worse his voice got.

Speaker 1 He has like a whisper scream. Like a dude calling you motherfucker, and you have to lean in real close to his mouth.

Speaker 1 Like you, you read the wind coming out of his mouth with your skin more than you actually hear the words. And then also Jamal Williams, when Dan Campbell was like, if you fight, you're out.

Speaker 1 And then he he just tried to fight the entire Colts team, which I respect the fuck out of them.

Speaker 1 Again, to me, as somebody that slacks, I hear that and I think, oh, I don't have to practice anymore if I can get them to fight me. Right.
And then it's not my fault because they started it.

Speaker 1 But he did say your evaluation is over if you fight and get kicked out. So Jamal Williams is like, I'm making the team.
I'm on the team. That doesn't apply to me.
Let me try to take on like 17 dudes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, have they, is it me or have they just really not mentioned DeAndre Swift at all this preseason? Well, Billy put him in jail last year.

Speaker 1 I was going to say, like, he's my candidate for comeback player of the year after being arrested unjustly by Billy Football for murder. Bringing

Speaker 1 murder. I said murder.
At this, people online think he's been arrested.

Speaker 1 I do have one. For murder.
For murder. I do have one sentimental note.

Speaker 1 I do never get tired of the shots whenever they show family in the crowd, like Khalil Pimpleton's family watching him and being so proud.

Speaker 1 That was like one of those moments, like, damn, maybe I'm getting soft, but

Speaker 1 always rules. You know? Yeah, it was like watching them cheer and like live and die with every single play.

Speaker 1 I love it. I just love it.
I love like, because it's obviously

Speaker 1 these guys who are going to get cut. It's their life's dream to make an NFL roster.
It's probably not going to happen for them.

Speaker 1 And just their family, like, I think it was Khalil Pimpleton's mom being like, he's playing right now against the Indianapolis Colts. Like, that's a cool moment.
And hopefully he does make the team.

Speaker 1 I don't, I feel like they set up where they just showed two drops. Shout out Tim Kennedy, by the way.
Tom Kennedy, yeah. Tom Kennedy.

Speaker 1 Billy got me thinking Tim Kennedy every time now, and now I keep going back and forth, switching back and forth. But he quietly had the best game.

Speaker 1 The quietest two-touchdown performance that you've ever seen. Is that mean he's safe? I think it's safe.

Speaker 1 I think he's safe because they wouldn't talk about him if he's like the guys who are safe, they don't talk about. So he has to be safe.

Speaker 1 I'm doing my projected 53-man roster at wide receiver for your Detroit Lions. I've got Tim Kennedy, Tim Kennedy, and Tom Kennedy, both of them, and then Amon Ross St.
Brown.

Speaker 1 And then that's it.

Speaker 1 Kaleo Pimpleton and Khalil, and then they're just going to run the ball. Yeah.
It does suck when they're like, yeah, there's 14 offensive linemen and eight receivers on the roster right now.

Speaker 1 It's like, shit. Yeah.
These guys are done.

Speaker 1 It's also tough to have your name include the word Pimple in it because I think football guys, at the end of the day, when they're making their final decisions, they see somebody named Pimpleton and another guy named Easy, and they're like, these guys aren't warriors.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You have to cut them. Gimme Rodrigo.
Yes, yes. Who that just keeps confusing the fuck out of me because I just keep thinking wherever you go, Blackboard.

Speaker 1 I'm just playing linebacker now. Yeah, he would be very bad.
He would get cut. Yeah.
I also like Dan Campbell being amazed by the football field. Yes.
Well, Indianapolis.

Speaker 1 I'm going to have his back here. That was fucking cool.
The fact that they walked through the woods. Yeah, on the blue.
And then, like, it was kind of Field the Dreams-esque.

Speaker 1 On the blue carpet, it looked like a giant slip and slide taking you out onto the practice field, but he was just i think danced that way regardless of what field he's on yeah if you just put him on a new football field he's like a 14 year old seeing boobs he's like wow field the dreams this is amazing this is field of dreams football version incredible yeah no he was he was very excited for it speaking of that uh do you see belichuk called the raiders facilities the taj mahal really he he loves similar to pft he loves yeah

Speaker 1 respect

Speaker 1 listen the man knows football he said it's the nicest facilities he's ever been to in his entire life damn do you think do you think josh McDaniel's just going there to warm up the seat for Bill Walicek?

Speaker 1 Maybe Josh was like, I'll be the coach for one year and then you come and then I'll be your OC again? I don't know how much money they have to pay Bill to live in Las Vegas.

Speaker 1 That would be a very funny vision. I mean, it sounds like he really loves the place.
He does. A lot.
The quotes, I'm going to try and pull some more quotes.

Speaker 1 The quotes that were coming out of there were so funny. I like it because he probably is just being earnest, saying that it's incredible.

Speaker 1 But I always just assume, similar to John Cal Piperi, when he was talking about his facilities, he's just basically saying, Robert Kraft, pay up. Like, make me a new facility.

Speaker 1 All right, so this is the Taj Mahal football facilities. He called it magnificent and outstanding.
Wow. Wow.
He really loves it, Hank. That's

Speaker 1 as excited as Bill Bilichik gets. Yeah, he basically fucked the stadium.
Yeah. Yeah.
So, yeah, Hard Knocks episode three. I don't.

Speaker 1 Sure.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we have.

Speaker 1 I don't even know if they're going to show too many of the cuts. I feel like Dan Campbell loves his men too much.
Oh, he's going to cry. He's going to cry.

Speaker 1 He's probably going to want to cut himself for cutting a football guy. Yeah, he's probably going to punch himself in the face.
I did. Old school, like,

Speaker 1 oh, I just can't believe I have to quit you.

Speaker 1 I hate doing this to you, men. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I remember the last couple years, because there were COVID years, and we stayed late on Tuesdays for hard knocks, and I remember being like, we got to stop doing this.

Speaker 1 And then we watched the first one this year, and I was like, that one was great. Yeah, no.
We walked out of the. You said it was the best season ever.

Speaker 1 That was like the best hard knocks episode I think I've ever watched. Like, well worth it.
And now we're kind of like.

Speaker 1 No, yeah, we peter out and then we get to the Tuesday after Labor Day and it's like, ah, yeah. Yeah, it's over.
It's over.

Speaker 1 I noticed that he had, you know, those motivational so-true posters on his desk, but they were all about just losing. Yeah.
He's got a lot of reminders.

Speaker 1 He's got too many reminders of losing, and I think that he feeds off of being upset about losing a lot, and he's trying to use that to make him better.

Speaker 1 But if I were Dan Cable, I would just have like 50%

Speaker 1 more signs in my office that talked about like winning and growth and not like that might be also that might just be like a permanent piece of furniture in the Detroit facilities.

Speaker 1 That might have been left in care from Dank. Those are load-bearing losing posters.
From Matt Patricia. Yeah, if you take that poster down,

Speaker 1 the whole building crumbles. That was in the blueprint of how when they built the facility, they're like, we're going to need a lot of things about how to deal with adversity.
Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 All right, so the other story before we get to Hot Seat Cool Throne, Kevin Durant, what we all expected, has decided he's going to stay in Brooklyn.

Speaker 1 I don't...

Speaker 1 I did like that he, the boardroom, his company with Rich Kleinman, did get a shout-out on, they had the logo on the Brooklyn Nets official release, which was nice because it was like, okay,

Speaker 1 they really sat down and decided this, and they're like, we're going to stay. You don't have to fire any of these guys, but throw our logo on the official release.

Speaker 1 Kevin Durant has agreed to honor his legally binding contract. Yes.

Speaker 1 I don't. The craziest part about all of this is like the Nets are going to be good.
Will they? Yeah. You think they're going to wamp some people next year?

Speaker 1 I don't know if they'll wamp, but they were like before Kevin Durant got hurt, they were the one seed last year. Kyrie didn't play for basically the entire season.

Speaker 1 I think if Kyrie and Kevin Durant, and that's a big if, play,

Speaker 1 they will be a top, I don't know, I want to call it three, four, four team in the East. I just feel like the way that this whole thing went down,

Speaker 1 it's going to wake up a lot of different GMs and owners around the league where it's like, oh, yeah,

Speaker 1 you don't have to trade somebody just because they ask you to. Now, if Kevin Durant had gotten fat like James Harden, that's really the only power play that players have left.

Speaker 1 I don't think he physically can. I don't think he can either, but it's worth a shot.

Speaker 1 I mean, really, besides that, if you just, you can't hold in. in the NBA, you can't really hold out effectively in the NBA because they'll take your money from you.
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 I think this is like one of those course correction things where the pendulum is going to swing back away from player empowerment because it's like, yeah, we gave the players all the power in the world.

Speaker 1 and then finally we realized, wait, we don't actually have to bend over for them every four-year deal every single time that they do this. And the, the,

Speaker 1 so we've defended Kevin Durant. We've, I've done a, a swing on Kevin Durant where I have defended him the last, I don't know, a couple years.
This one seems indefensible.

Speaker 1 Like, because he's also going online and being like, blame KD and all this stuff. It's like, dude, you, you kind of did like cause all this yourself.

Speaker 1 Whether you, whether Kevin Durant, if you sit down, maybe come on this podcast, we like he might have a real reason. Like, maybe it was because they

Speaker 1 didn't let Kyrie play in road games last year, or they didn't give him an extension, whatever it may be,

Speaker 1 like, there could be reasoning, but all of this drama was Kevin Durant's fault. I actually think the way to get him on this podcast now, I can't believe we didn't think about this earlier.

Speaker 1 We just got to figure out a way to force him to get traded from the Nets. Like, if he comes on the show, we can talk our way.
We can give you some ammo. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We can have you, we can put words in your mouth and have you say some indefensible things that will definitely burn all the bridges that you have in Brooklyn. Right.
So there's the invite.

Speaker 1 We'll figure a way out of town for you. I think part of it might just be he didn't want to play with Ben Simmons.

Speaker 1 And maybe that was like they sat down and they're like, listen, Ben Simmons isn't going to play. Don't worry.
Like,

Speaker 1 he's never going to play. I'm just saying, like, we could help you burn bridges, KD.
Yeah. That's what we do best.
Very easy. Hank, are you relieved?

Speaker 1 Sad? No, No, I'm relieved. I would have obviously been able to talk myself into Kevin Durant.
He's a pretty good basketball player.

Speaker 1 Great basketball player, but the injury concerns would have been a lot.

Speaker 1 It would have been much more like we're all in. Basically, the next year or two is we have to win a championship or it's going to be one of the biggest mistakes ever made.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Now we have, now it's like future Celtics. Yeah, I actually think we'd have like five years.
It's a legitimate concern. Our championship window is more open.

Speaker 1 To any team that would bring KD in, it would be a sizable concern that he would then want to blow the entire thing up after a year. Yeah, he'd be unhappy because that's kind of his MO at this point.

Speaker 1 He's just

Speaker 1 old. I actually think, I think KD needs to go to the bottom of the head.
And

Speaker 1 he's coming back from the injuries he's had.

Speaker 1 People don't come back 100%. He needs to go back to the burners.
I feel like

Speaker 1 he was more mentally healthy when he was mentally unhealthy.

Speaker 1 And he's just,

Speaker 1 yeah, his Twitter right now, it's just, it's tough when he's like, yeah,

Speaker 1 trying to dunk on people when, again, like this kind of was his fault. Like, he

Speaker 1 did just a month ago say he wanted the coach and the GM fired.

Speaker 1 And then he's kind of catching an L here because he's staying, and I don't think Steve Kerr or Sean Marks are fired. So that's an L.
Steve Nash. Yeah, yeah.
I was about to say, like, Steve Nash.

Speaker 1 Oh, he didn't like Steve Kerr at the end of the Warriors run either. It's going to be.
He doesn't like Steve.

Speaker 1 It's going to be very awkward if you're Steve Nash and then Kevin Durant comes back in the building. You're like, so

Speaker 1 water under the bridge? Yeah. What are we going to do here? Are you going to play?

Speaker 1 Like, you want to be fired? And it's great, too, because, like, they got this settled. And Kyrie still exists.
And Ben Simmons still exists. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's such a ridiculous team when you actually think about it because talent-wise, they should be a championship contender.

Speaker 1 And then you have three guys where you're like, who the fuck knows whether they're going to want to come to work? Yeah. Well, I mean, if you're a Nets fan, at least you've got the New York Mets.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So there's some solace in that. Take care of that.
First place in the division, they're on a hot streak. Maybe that's what Kevin Durant was doing.
Maybe he was like,

Speaker 1 I want to, like, team unity. Like, Kyrie and Ben Simmons have both taken turns being like, I don't really want to play.
Maybe I should just take my turn so we're all together. Yeah, that's smart.

Speaker 1 They're basically forming a mini-union against the coach, the GM, and the ownership. He's walking a mile in his teammate's shoes.
Yeah, right. Now they'll have something to talk about.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was like, hey, listen, Ben and Kyrie, like, I'm going to take a little heat off you. I'm going to demand that everyone gets fired.
Yeah, Jake? Smart.

Speaker 4 Ben Simmons is

Speaker 4 back on the cool throne because it's going to be scary.

Speaker 1 It's back in play. Oh, that's true.

Speaker 4 Who is a nominee for worst take of the year? I'm playing with Kyrie and KD.

Speaker 1 It is going to be scary now.

Speaker 4 But now it might be scary.

Speaker 1 It might be scary. I'm a little bit scared.
Good for him. I am scared too, whether they play or don't play.

Speaker 1 Who's to say? Yeah.

Speaker 4 So Freezing Cold Takes got Freezing Cold Take.

Speaker 1 We don't know yet. We don't know.
I wonder if we could put up a bet. plays.
Do you think we could put up a bet in the Barcelona Sportsbook combined games played together?

Speaker 1 Or just total? Kevin Durant, Kyrie, and Ben Simmons this year. What would it be set at?

Speaker 1 I think KD is going to play. It would be like 160, I want to say.
How many games do you think KD played last year? Like 60?

Speaker 1 I think he missed a little more time than that. But let's say KD plays.

Speaker 1 KD probably the most reliable, which is very funny given everything that's happened. So let's say he plays 65.
Kyrie's good for what? Maybe 40? I was going to say 35. And then Ben Simmons.

Speaker 4 55 last year for KD.

Speaker 1 55. But that was a real injury.
Ben Simmons, I'm going 22 games. I was going to say NA.
22 games. Over-under.
Yeah, so

Speaker 1 set the over-under. If we could put up a bet that's like, Will Ben Simmons, Kyrie, and Kevin Durant play over or under 139 games for the Brooklyn Network.
I'm taking the under. I'll be honest.

Speaker 1 I'm taking the under big time. Yeah.
I mean, two of them just playing 60 would get you there, pretty much. Like, if China invades Taiwan, Kyrie probably just going off the grid entirely.

Speaker 1 Ben Simmons, who knows?

Speaker 1 If he wears his Joey Gallo jersey in New York, he might not be able to play. He might not be able to walk down the street.

Speaker 1 He might be like, I'm done.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's get to hot seat, cool throw.

Speaker 1 One other piece of news. Yeah.
An extension for Nick Sabin. Oh.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Lifetime? So he's locked up for the next, what, like nine years? How has he he not gotten the lifetime? 11. Well, I think that is his lifetime.
He's going to be 79 by the time.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, Nick Saban's going to live forever. Nick Saban,

Speaker 1 forever. Even after he dies, they should just have hologram Nick Sabin on the sideline coaching that team.
Nick Saban,

Speaker 1 like,

Speaker 1 he's going to live forever. I would guarantee that Nick Saban goes past 100.
He's short. He has like his little, like, I eat oatmeal pies every morning and watch the weather channel.
Yeah. And I win.

Speaker 1 He's a man of routine. Yeah.
And routines, they lend themselves to long life. Yeah, because you always hear somebody on the news when they're asked, what's your secret?

Speaker 1 It doesn't matter what their actual secret is. Their secret is that they do it all the time.
Yeah, it's like a little old lady in Italy. She's like, my secret is I eat pasta and drink wine every day.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she's like, I smoke seven cigarettes a day. Yeah.
I drink a liter of wine and then I just eat dessert. Yeah.
That's my trick. And that's it.
So Saban, he's getting like $11 million a year.

Speaker 1 I still don't know what the fuck Nick Sabin spends $11 million a year on. Money is definitely wasted on Nick Saban.
I think he's probably got some boats.

Speaker 1 I think he has one, he has, he upgrades to nicer boats that he takes out on like Memorial Day weekend every year. And I feel like he has a different.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't be shocked if Nick Saban has like a house in Naples, a house in Miami, a house in a lake in Alabama, maybe a house in West Virginia. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 He's just a house guy. I think he's probably got like the nicest house in every single town that his family members live in.
Right. So like his daughter, he has the best house in that town.
Right.

Speaker 1 If he's got grandkids, he's got the nicest house there.

Speaker 1 But that seems like Nick Sabin gets paid all this money. He probably just wisely invests in a shitload of real estate.
Yeah. And so he's just...
He probably owns horses.

Speaker 1 I think he probably has a horse or two. Maybe.
I think football coaches generally just get a horse because other football guys have horses. Yeah.
Yeah. What are you going to say, Billy?

Speaker 1 The University of Alabama over his career there has paid him over $100 million. And it's bargaining.

Speaker 1 Absolute bargain. I think they would do 10x that for the winning they've had.
Yeah.

All right. Hey, you know what? Why don't you go first, pal? Sure? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Go ahead and do it, buddy.
Okay. Let's go, big guy.

Speaker 1 Hot seat's Will Salatoris. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 Friend of the program of the show, just won his first tournament. He had to withdraw from the, was it the FedEx championship?

Speaker 1 It was, yeah, he withdrew from the BMW, and then he also had to take himself out of the FedEx.

Speaker 1 He's third in the world right now. Yep.

Speaker 1 But no matter what, because you withdraw, he automatically finishes 30th, which is like 300 grand or 500 grand purse. But if he was to come in, you know, third,

Speaker 1 he'd win like 18 million. Yeah, it's tough.
It's about a $17 million swing for him, which is...

Speaker 1 It's hard to see Will go through that. I mean, $17 million is a shitload.
I don't pretend to understand how the golf playoff system works.

Speaker 1 I just want to know on Sunday, like, how much does each putt cost when they missed on the 18th green? But this is

Speaker 1 tough. There's really no spend zoning this one for Will.
I said that we should get GoFundMe going. Yeah.
Maybe we can make up the $18 million for him.

Speaker 1 I'm nervous that he made a deal with the devil, and the deal with the devil was let me win one.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm nervous about. And I bet on him last week to finish top 10, to win.

Speaker 1 I mean, I just auto-bet him because he's just my guy um i'm nervous i'm nervous because it feels like the timing is what is the old michael scott uh the timing is

Speaker 1 fuck line line the timing is whelming no he fucking god damn it all right forget it never mind no one's gonna help me hank what's your what's your cool throne

Speaker 1 there we go The timing

Speaker 1 is nothing short of predominant. Predominant.
The timing is predominant in this case,

Speaker 1 I would would say. And I'm nervous for Will.
I mean, if you were a golfer and you finished second place in every tournament, you would probably actually be on aggregate the best golfer of all time.

Speaker 1 Yes. Oh, here's a fun little hypothetical I want to throw out there.
I was thinking about this.

Speaker 1 If you had a superpower that no matter what, every time your golf ball was on the green, you'd make the putt. You won-putt everything.

Speaker 1 Just guaranteed. Do you think you could get a good enough game game to make it to the tour? Easy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I would just putt. I would putt.
I would go to win the tour. I would tee off with a putter.
No, no, no, no. That's not the rule.
That's not the rule. You have to be on the green.

Speaker 1 Your ball has to be on the green. So essentially, you're just playing like the hole is the green.
If you get it on the green, the next shot always goes in. You put for dough.

Speaker 1 You don't need greens in regulation. Yeah.
That's tough. No, but you don't even need greens in regulation.
You just need greens in pass, like one-stroke pass regulation. Yeah, but think about it.

Speaker 4 If you don't get a green in regulation you're one putting it's still at best a par right up and down this is my other

Speaker 1 par my other thought of the hypothetical of if you made every three-point shot you ever took do you think that uh

Speaker 1 you could you could like they would put you on an nba team yes easily yes absolutely a million percent i'd be the best pass

Speaker 1 maybe it'd have to be well you'd get just torched on defense torched you have a three points every time you shoot it yeah maybe it's it would you have to shoot it you make every every three-point shot without a hand within like a foot of your face.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 you'd miss if they were in your face. So what about like full court heaves? Like I would get that's a three-point shot.
Yeah, but got the book.

Speaker 1 Would they press me? Yeah, they'd start to press you. The book would be out on them.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I would just start sneezing and coughing on them. Just dare them to get close.

Speaker 1 The golf one, I don't think. I mean, I think if you practiced long enough, you could do it.
But right now, no, we would not.

Speaker 1 Here's how I would unravel in that situation because I think I have a good amount of irrational confidence, but in this case, I feel like bunkers would really be my downfall. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because no matter how good I would get at everything else, it would still take me like four shots to get out of any bunker. Yes.
Just completely melted.

Speaker 4 Think of how much longer the championship tees are. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They're long. Well, I always play from the black tips.
True. So.

Speaker 4 But for those of us who don't choose 72 at Chenecon.

Speaker 1 Correct. That's a long time.
I play behind the black tips. I let people.
Because you can play like as far back as you want. So I go to the back of the T-box when I tee off.

Speaker 1 um all right hank your cool throne uh my cool throne is the giants fantasy people that are going to draft uh saquan barkley he said it's kill mindset now it's like fuck everybody fuck everybody saquan barkley great quote i'm sure that won't be like a quote that gets turned around when it's like that quote and then him going like you know 14 rushes for 60 yards uh also yeah and wait 14 rushes for 60 yards pretty much one of those rushes was a 55 yard run but that's that's saquan barkley the The thing with the fuck everybody mindset, I feel like that can be counterproductive as a running back, where on every run, you're trying to fuck everybody.

Speaker 1 So, like, the art of falling correctly in the NFL when you're getting tackled and knowing when to go down is actually a very underrated thing for a running back to have.

Speaker 1 To be able to fall without getting injured, if you're in fuck everybody mode, I feel like that gets you fucked more often. Yeah, Saquon Barkley, too, is like...

Speaker 1 Maybe it's because, I mean, he's got a cool name.

Speaker 1 He does do cool plays, especially at Penn State, but he is like one of those guys that everyone at the time knew the draft pick was stupid, and then it's been stupid, but I still find myself rooting for it.

Speaker 1 Well, it's a little unfair to him that he was drafted as a running back that high because everyone's just going to find a quarterback that becomes dominant that was taken after he was drafted, and then they'll compare him to be like,

Speaker 1 why did you draft a running back this high? Yeah. I think he's still, you're right.
He does cool plays. He's got cool legs.
He's got like the giant quads. He's a cool guy.
I think A.J.

Speaker 1 Dillon's kind of jacked his whole swag. A.J.
Dillon is like mega Saquon. Yeah, A.J.
Dillon is what everyone thought Saquon would be. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Interesting. Okay.

Speaker 1 Is that it, Hank? What does A.J. Dillon...

Speaker 1 Like, what everyone thought Saquon Barkley would do? Like, A.J. Dillon really hasn't done that much, right? No.

Speaker 1 But he's just talking about the quads.

Speaker 1 It's all in light. He's just thicker.

Speaker 1 But I guess Saquon Barkley also hasn't done that much. True.
That's a good point. Yeah.
So Saquon Dick. They're both.
They're the same. Just one has better levels.
Just one's thicker than the other.

Speaker 1 Got it. Yes.
Okay. PFD, your hot sequel throw.
My hot seat is Marcus Mariota. Because I don't know if you guys saw, I put a lot of stock in preseason games.
I watched the Jets Falcons game last night.

Speaker 1 I think Desmond Ritter is that guy.

Speaker 1 I think he is him.

Speaker 1 Mariota's been good, too. Yeah, but I think Desmond Ritter is actually very good.

Speaker 1 Now, I'm basing this off of maybe four throws that I saw because I was re-watching The Wire and I had the preseason game on my iPhone, which is set up on my coffee table.

Speaker 1 So I was going back and forth, and I only saw a few throws that Desmond Ritter made.

Speaker 1 That's the most dangerous thing. I think you see one thing, and you're like, oh, you know what? No, I saw some, like, as Ron Jaworski would say, like, NFL throws from Desmond Ritter.

Speaker 1 I think he's that dude. Because Mariota,

Speaker 1 I watched the first drive. Mariota, like, he ripped off a huge pass to start.
And I don't know. I'm always a believer in Marcus Mariota.
He's very similar to Saquon Barkley.

Speaker 1 Barkley nice guy so so I think Marcus Mariota like the role that he was supposed to be in in Vegas is perfect for him like a change of pace guy but which you don't really see that often with quarterbacks putting in a change of pace guy but he does bring something to the table with his legs for sure Desmond Ritter I think I think he's you know what he's ready he is I think he's NFL ready he's very good at since he I know but like you know he wasn't drafted that high a lot of people doubting him I think Desmond Ritter I think I'm ready to say based off watching him one time time in the preseason, that this is going to be a guy that I will believe in for the next four years.

Speaker 1 I think the Falcons don't have their quarterback of the future on the roster right now. Interesting.

Speaker 1 Maybe not. Maybe not.
But Desmond Ritter is. Kyle Pitts had an awesome play.
I think Desmond Ritter is legit. Yeah.
I mean, I think he'll be okay.

Speaker 1 But yeah, there is a danger in watching one highlight and you're like, oh, shit. A million percent.
It's like watching Ohio State in the first game last year, and I was like, bust. Fuck this guy.

Speaker 1 My cool throne is the Seattle Seahawks because Pete Carroll has spoken to the media regarding the big quarterback battle that's taking place right now.

Speaker 1 He says that right now they have two number ones. So he's like, we have an embarrassment of riches between Drew Locke and Geno Smith.
And apparently they're both.

Speaker 1 It's got to be tough to have an honest comparison between those two because I think they're probably very similar quarterbacks. And they're probably the best quarterbacks on that roster.

Speaker 1 But Pete Carroll is like, yeah, we got two ones. So if you have two quarterbacks, you don't have one.
I disagree. I think they should.

Speaker 1 So Geno Smith, I think, plays pretty well based on recent experiences in like the first half. And then Drew Locke is good in garbage time.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So I think they should put Geno Smith in in the first half as a first half specialist. Drew Locke comes in as the closer and he just gets it like a closer for covering the spread.

Speaker 1 So Geno buries him in a little hole. Maybe helps to hit the over in the first half.
Then Drew Locke comes in in the second half and brings it to within six and a half points.

Speaker 1 How much does it suck to be Jacob Eason? Yeah, pretty bad. He's like, you're...
I'm here too. I got two ones.
I'm here too, guys. Oh, and that guy over there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so what happens if you have two ones, does that make the other guy a two, or does it make it a three, like in golf? I think it's two guys tied. Yeah, I don't know.
That's a good question.

Speaker 1 Someone needs to ask Pete Carroll, please. Yeah.
Someone in the Seahawks media. Ask about, yeah.
Tell me about what his saber metrics really stand for here.

Speaker 1 All right, is that it? Oh, you had another one? Well, I had another, but I'll let you keep going. All right, okay.
So I had a hot seat

Speaker 1 is ESPN and also the future of America, because I don't know if you guys saw, but the Little League World Series going on, and there was a moment. I can't remember which teams.

Speaker 1 I think it might have been Washington and Iowa. I can't remember which two teams were playing.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 there was a pitch that was called a ball, and it was most definitely a strike. And the

Speaker 1 coach came out to the mound and like tried to settle everyone down. And one of the players got caught on the mic being like, This is rigged by ESPN.
They want this game to go to extra innings.

Speaker 1 This is so rigged for the race. And I was just sitting there like, well, one, he could be right.
So then ESPN, the gig is up. They're rigging this.

Speaker 1 And two, this is like the next wave of Billy footballs. Like, our kids are just thinking everything's rigged.
And so it made me a little sad that this is now. No, I like it.

Speaker 1 That's rigged. This is the byproduct of the NFL-rigged ecosystem right now.
It's like, we've got little AWLs at home that are playing in the Little League World Series right now.

Speaker 1 And they're like, this is rigged either either for the money or for the attendance or for the better.

Speaker 1 I don't know which, but I saw it with my own two eyes. So this is rigged.
Next generation is here and they're ready to go.

Speaker 1 I would rather have the this is rigged people than the coaches that absolutely try to go viral every time they step on work.

Speaker 1 They know that they're mic'd up and they just run out and they tell the kid how much they love them. Yeah, like, oh, listen, isn't it cool?

Speaker 1 Like, like the kid gets fucking shelled, and they come out there and they're like, isn't it great to work at Williamsport? This is always what you dreamed. It's like, shut the fuck up, dude.

Speaker 1 He just gave up a grand slam. He's like, I'm really proud of you.
And you came out here and you tried really hard.

Speaker 1 I don't know if anybody out there has played Little League baseball, but my coach would have slapped the baseball cap off my head and been like, go sit down on the bench. Lose it.
I'm 90.

Speaker 1 My memory has gotten bad as I've gotten older, but I'm almost positive my Little League coach smoked in the dugout. Oh, yeah.
No, I definitely had one that smoked, not Mark Schlerith.

Speaker 1 Mark Schlerith, actually, the only speeches that he would give to us on our Little League team would revolve around the time that the Jaguars beat the Broncos in the playoffs, and he never got over that.

Speaker 1 So he'd like come out to the mountain and be like, listen, it could be a lot worse. You could be on the Broncos and have the best record

Speaker 1 in football. And then you played the fucking Jaguars in the first game of the playoff, and they smoke you.
All right, get out of there, kid. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 It definitely, there's definitely different little league coaching now. And then my cool throne is America.
So I guess it's reversed. I don't know if you guys saw this, but Stephen A.

Speaker 1 Smith said that he would run for president. Let's go.
Yes. Love to see it.
He was asked by Paul Feinbaum. He said he has some skeletons in his closet that used to be prohibitive of the job.

Speaker 1 But he said that if he thought he could win,

Speaker 1 he would run for president.

Speaker 1 I'll tell you this right now, Stephen A. Smith, you would win.
Yes. You would win.

Speaker 1 Would be, imagine a Stephen A. Smith rally.
Like, he would also, the best part about Stephen A.

Speaker 1 Smith, if he ran for president, he would literally go to Texas and mock the Cowboys and be like, I don't give a fuck about your votes and still win.

Speaker 1 Well, that's actually a key to America's heart is if you just make fun of the cowboy. There are more people out there that aren't Dallas Cowboys fans than are.

Speaker 1 So if you just pick one franchise and zero in on them, people will love you. You'd probably even still win Texas.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but this is like the hiding in plain sight, like everyone's been talking about The Rock is going to be present. No, no, no.
Stephen A. Smith.
Yeah, I would vote for him. I'll be honest with you.

Speaker 1 I would vote for him right now. Quite frankly, I want you to be present, Stephen A.
Smith. Imagine Skip as his VP.

Speaker 1 He would never. He would never.
He would never. I would just.
No, he wouldn't. He would never.
I mean, Skip would probably run against him, which would be a great debate. I bet you Stephen A.

Speaker 1 Smith could just, he would get fucking Greenie to be his VP. Greeny would be like, oh, that's great.
Or have Greene be president, but then Stephen A. Smith runs the show behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 Like a real Cheney W situation. Yeah, but either way, Stephen A.
Smith, I mean 24. Just having Stephen A.
Smith pronounce the names of foreign leaders,

Speaker 1 Vladimir! Pooh! He would just go off on everyone. You make me sick.

Speaker 4 What would he say if they made Weed illegal again?

Speaker 1 Oh, if they made it?

Speaker 1 Yeah. No, you'd be happy.
Stay off the Delta 8.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 All right, Billy, your hot seat cooled through.

Speaker 1 My hot seat is Anthony Joshua. Anthony Joshua fought Usik over the weekend and after the boxing match, 12 rounds, went to a decision, lost.

Speaker 1 He got outboxed by Usik, and he kind of went on a rant after the fight. He threw his belts out of the ring.
He himself ran out of the ring, then ran back into the ring and hopped on the mic.

Speaker 1 Kind of basically stole the spotlight for Usik to talk about his country and all their struggles recently.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was kind of everyone was kind of like, dude, like, this isn't your moment, you lost. Yeah, and fuck your country.

Speaker 1 He was talking about all the hardship he's gone through as a child and stuff, whatnot. So a lot of people are being like, yo, dude.
And this is kind of his second loss to Usik, third loss.

Speaker 1 Remember when he lost to Anthony Ruiz? Yeah, so it's a hot seat.

Speaker 1 I think him versus Wilder would still sell as a fight. Yes, I agree.

Speaker 1 I think that might be a better fight to watch than a Tyson Fury Usik fight just for the casuals. But yeah, hot seat Anthony Joshua.
Yeah, yeah. The end of a boxing career.
It's always tough. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying it's over, but yeah, that's three losses you just said that have happened, what, somewhat recently. So and then my cool throne is a Magic Johnson.
Magic Johnson says he tweeted.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 he's basically a week ago, a very long time ago, there was a parody account that tweeted a fake picture of him donating blood.

Speaker 1 And he's finally gotten around. 10 hours ago, he tweeted, I'm aware of the false story circling the internet.
And to be clear, I have never donated blood.

Speaker 1 Just classic Magic Johnson tweeting right after it happened. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go out a limb here, and I'm not a medical professional like Billy,

Speaker 1 but I think he's he's probably got healthier blood than I do. Yeah.
I think Magic Johnson, like, he doesn't have AIDS. He doesn't have the HIV virus.
It's not at detectable levels.

Speaker 1 I would venture to say that he's in. I would rather have his blood than my blood right now.
I also love his med. I mean, it's a fact because he also, like, he's got vacation blood.

Speaker 1 He's just vacationing all the time, all summer. You see the pictures? He does, like, a tweet every day of what he's doing, and it's always just sitting on a yacht and being Magic Johnson.

Speaker 1 He's always in the coolest thing in the world. Like, that's, he doesn't even have to be doing anything.
He's just like, yeah, having breakfast. I'm Magic Johnson.
I'm on a yacht.

Speaker 1 Cool.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was the fact that he had to come around. He was just so obviously fake at this ball section.
It's been going around forever, too. Yeah.
Yeah. So he has

Speaker 1 his most recent screening says that he remains HIV undetectable to this day. So he's going to live like a completely full life.

Speaker 1 He's going to be on his yacht vacation with Cookie the entire time, hanging out with billionaires, wearing linen all the time, sipping the finest wines in Italy. I think Magic Johnson's doing okay.

Speaker 1 I would take his blood. Yes, I would too.
I'd drink his blood. Same.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Go ahead, Jake. My hot seat, straws.

Speaker 4 But Kat, you had your day in the act. We haven't brought it up on this show yet.

Speaker 4 Yet, we had a fan at the Subway series use a hot dog as a straw to drink a beer.

Speaker 1 Real men of genius.

Speaker 1 A couple things. One is, obviously, people are like, it was staged.
New York Nico had it staged. I don't care.
I don't care.

Speaker 1 If a video is funny and staged, it still can be funny. And the idea of drinking a beer with a hot dog is kind of cool.
Yeah, I knew it was staged the second I saw it.

Speaker 1 It's still, I've never seen somebody do that before. Right.
It's still an original video. It was cool.
And I just, a lot of people like, throw him in jail, all this. I thought we lived in America.

Speaker 1 If you want to drink a beer through a hot dog straw, this is the country for it. Stephen A.
Smith should run on that. You should be allowed to drink a beer through anything that you want.

Speaker 1 The internet doesn't matter. It was one of those internet is so cool for everyone.
Like, oh, this guy sucks. Like, dude, he's enjoying himself.
He's not making anyone else do it. Let him have a time.

Speaker 1 I don't get how people are framing this as a pre-crime when like shoeies exist. Right.
Yeah, drink a beer out of literally anything that you want. It's also like you're at a baseball game.

Speaker 1 You're most likely going to be eating a hot dog and drinking a beer. You just take out the middleman.
You can do anything with a hot dog. You can use them as chopsticks.

Speaker 1 You can drink a beer out of them. If there's a way to smoke weed out of a hot dog, I say go for that too.
They're definitely hot. I'm sure that somebody's definitely smoked weed.
Yes. Hank, have you?

Speaker 1 No. Let's make a video.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, there we go. That's our new Billy, write that down.
TikTok idea. Smoke weed out of a hot dog.
Smoke a giant bowl out of a dog. Might be better out of a brat.

Speaker 1 The algorithm doesn't like smoking. Okay, okay.
But a brat. I'm going to say a brat.
What about just a video? It doesn't have to go on TikTok. We can say it's a TikTok.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just put it it out everywhere and be like, check out my new TikTok. Nobody will know the difference.
Yes.

Speaker 1 All right. And your cool throne.

Speaker 4 A cool throne, Hank. I'll like this.
Vacations. Yeah.
The latest Tom Brady rumor is that his time away included a vacation to the Bahamas.

Speaker 1 Ooh. Good, good.
So there's people who are torn on this. That's where they're filming the Master Singer? Whether that's appropriate or if it's not appropriate.

Speaker 4 He could leave in the middle of training camp.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'd say

Speaker 1 if you're at the top of your game at something like Tom Brady or Hank, you can take a vacation whenever you want.

Speaker 1 Like, if they lose week one, who do they play in week one? That will be very.

Speaker 1 That will be very funny. No, that's not week one.
Yeah. That was last year.

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 4 Sunday night football.

Speaker 1 No, that Sunday night football I thought was Rams Bills. That's Thursday night football.

Speaker 1 That's Sunday night football on Thursday night. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Okay. And this one's in Dallas, I believe.

Speaker 1 Well, if he loses that, that's the narrative. Yeah, if he loses that, then cool throne Jason Witten and Tony Romo for going on vacation to Cabo before their game.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And the New York Giants for the boat picture. The boat picture, yeah.
Yep.

Speaker 4 Okay. So I don't know.
I mean, there were a few blue check marks who tweeted it. I don't think Schefter or Rappaport did, but.

Speaker 1 Well, Tom Brady tweeted out that he was not on the Masked Singer, but he was wearing a mask.

Speaker 1 And then he did like a video of him doing stunts on a motorcycle, which I'm pretty sure was totally real and not photoshopped or edited at all.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Sell underwear.
Oh, he's selling underwear. Oh, also, by the way, hot seat, we forgot.

Speaker 1 It seems like high-quality underwear.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's good.

Speaker 1 I feel like he's an offshore bank account. Well, yeah, duh.
Yeah, no shit.

Speaker 1 I mean, wait, you think the guy that's married to a Brazilian supermodel and heavily invested in cryptocurrencies doesn't have an offshore account? Duh.

Speaker 1 Million percent offshore. You think Tom Brady just like has his finance people be like, just send me what I have.
Just look at it.

Speaker 1 He definitely does. Just look at all the, like, look at all the zeros.
Yeah. How sick that is.

Speaker 1 We forgot Hot Seat Bills, that reporter who said,

Speaker 1 just curious, have you ever heard the Bills have a female act

Speaker 1 on the soundtrack during practice? So, cancel the Bills. Oh, wait, what did they do? No female singers.
Oh, yeah, fuck that. Yeah.
Can't have that. Can't have that.

Speaker 1 It was the most non-Buffalo Buffalo tweet of all. Like, that guy, he's probably from Buffalo.
He's a Buffalo Bills beat writer, but kick him out. Yeah.
Get him out of here.

Speaker 1 Also, hot seat in that case.

Speaker 1 Was it the Broncos? No, the Broncos, they don't have any future on their practice.

Speaker 1 For obvious reasons.

Speaker 1 All I know is that if I'm going to a football practice and they don't have Inya on there, I'm like, this team can't win on Sundays. Yeah, that's a fact.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's get to speaking of the Bills. Sean McDermott.

Speaker 1 We interviewed him before this story, this salacious story of not having a female act on their soundtrack. We would have asked him that, but 100%.
Yeah, here he is.

Speaker 1 Sean McDermott, before we do that, PFT, you got a quick word.

Speaker 7 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 7 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 7 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is head coach of the Buffalo Bills, Sean McDermott.
Also,

Speaker 1 coach, I don't know if you remember this, but you are a previous winner of Football Guy of the Week, and you accepted the award at a press conference. So it's great to finally have you on.

Speaker 8 It's great to be with you guys as well. Do you?

Speaker 1 Do you remember that at all? Because you won Football Guy of the Week for passing out to your team dirt and sod and grass and telling everyone they had to defend the dirt. And then you won it.

Speaker 1 And a reporter asked you in the press conference, you're like, I'm blessed to have won it. So it was a nice moment.

Speaker 8 Well, I appreciate that, and I appreciate you guys honoring me in that way.

Speaker 8 I'll send some dirt this year over to you guys so you can be

Speaker 8 members of our team as well. You can defend your dirt.

Speaker 1 Okay, I like that. Yeah.
Yeah. I always accept soil.
That's mailed to me. That's the general policy that I have.
A very important question to get started here.

Speaker 1 We were talking about you last week. We did a big debate on which coaches we think could kick everybody else's ass in the NFL.
So you were drafted number three overall.

Speaker 1 It went Dan Campbell, Vrabel, then you. We still have people in this room right now who think that you should have gone number one because of your experience as a collegiate wrestler.

Speaker 1 You know, wrestlers are built different. You guys are a little bit crazy.
You're not afraid of contact. So have to ask you, do you think that you could kick Dan Campbell's ass?

Speaker 8 Yes, and Vrable also. Throw Vrable in there at the same time.

Speaker 1 Okay. I like that.
I mean,

Speaker 1 I like the confidence. There is a

Speaker 1 just a good policy in life is don't mess with anyone who wrestled at any level

Speaker 1 because you guys are just all psychos.

Speaker 8 Listen, in the wrestling community, we don't look at ourselves as psychos or crazy guys,

Speaker 8 but outside, outsiders definitely look at wrestlers and think that they kind of march to the beat of their own drum.

Speaker 8 And maybe that's true, you know, because that biased is like, hey, walking down the street, you feel like you can kick anyone's tail.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I could see it in your eyes, actually. Like, when you just said walking down the street, you were looking off in the distance.

Speaker 1 Like, you were visualizing, yeah, like pinning some random person who started stuff.

Speaker 8 So, years ago,

Speaker 8 I had a debate years ago

Speaker 8 when I was in Philadelphia with the Eagles and our trainer at the time, he's now the trainer in Kansas City, we were around the lunch table and he said, hey,

Speaker 8 would you take the best wrestler in the world over the best boxer in the world?

Speaker 8 And obviously what I came into the conversation was a little bit late and obviously the table was unanimously for sure the best boxer.

Speaker 8 And I can just tell you, if you pull 10 wrestlers, they're going to tell you you take the best wrestler over the best boxer. So it's debatable, I know, but us wrestlers stick together.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes, that's for sure. So has there been any thought that's crossed your mind about getting Gable Steveson to play defensive tackle for you?

Speaker 1 Maybe you could work with him, Olympic gold medalist, be like, you know, I could turn you into the next Aaron Donald.

Speaker 8 That's right. So

Speaker 8 I asked Brandon Peter, GM,

Speaker 8 to look into it, honestly, a couple of years ago

Speaker 8 when he really surfaced and was more than that, but

Speaker 8 thought maybe, yeah, a defensive tackle, maybe a tight end. I mean, unreal athlete, right? And it's amazing what he's been able to accomplish.

Speaker 1 So, I have a question about last season. Obviously, we know the game that, you know, everyone watched one of the greatest games, the playoff games to watch with the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 But I had a question about a few weeks earlier. We went to the game in Buffalo against the Patriots, the Monday night game.

Speaker 1 And when we were leaving, we were listening to the radio, and it was full-on panic. It was Sean McDermott just got out coached by Belichick.
He's playing chess.

Speaker 1 You know, the Bills are playing checkers, all this stuff. Sky is falling.
And it felt like that for a moment.

Speaker 1 What did you do after that game and to close out the season? Because you also had the weird Jaguars game to kind of get everyone back on track. Because as fans, we always freak out in the moment.

Speaker 1 And it feels like football coaches' ability to keep everyone. steady even through these bad losses is what makes a great football coach.

Speaker 8 Yeah, every year is a journey.

Speaker 8 You know, I'll start off with that Patriots game that you mentioned. Coach Belichick, I mean, we all know he's going to go down in history as one of the best coach of all time.

Speaker 8 And a lot of respect for him and what he's done over the years.

Speaker 8 You know, I think really our team got our focus back and got it where it needed to be

Speaker 8 because we were going a little bit up and down through the course of the season and a little bit inconsistent, as you mentioned.

Speaker 8 But I just felt like I think it was the second Patriots game where we were down some players.

Speaker 8 We really got our focus where it needed to be and played our best football down the stretch there and on into the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
There were a lot of takes that came out after that Patriots Monday night game. Like, oh, Buffalo, you need a dome.
You can't be playing in these elements up there. I love that football.

Speaker 1 We were there. We were gritting it out.
I mean, I think we took our shirts off at that game. We were, you know, just we were brave.
We were in a suite, so it was nice. It was kind of hot.

Speaker 1 We took it off because it was too hot. We were sweating a little bit.
But, you know, that same thing, you know, you like being in the elements outdoors like that.

Speaker 1 Do you think, like, is there any world that you think that Buffalo would ever get an indoor stadium or would you want a dome?

Speaker 8 No, never.

Speaker 8 This is Buffalo, right? And this is part of what makes us unique. I mean, it's the best place to live.

Speaker 8 Some people say, okay, I can see why you live here in the summer, but we love it year-round. It makes us who we are.
And I didn't realize it at the time coming from Philadelphia.

Speaker 8 I was raised outside of Philadelphia. And

Speaker 8 just

Speaker 8 the fit for a head coach and his family is how important it is. And the type of community you go into.

Speaker 8 I go for jogs around the stadium area early morning sometimes. And people are up early.
They're out there. you know, going to work early, packing their lunches.
And I just feel like that really

Speaker 1 fits me, fits my family and how we want to raise our kids uh the right way yeah it's we love buffalo every time we go visit we we absolutely love it um another thing we love about buffalo we love josh allen we've we've been josh allen guys before the bills even drafted him uh we have a little joke going though that when josh there are certain times in a game that josh he like we we call it the mash all the buttons like you're playing a video game he just mashes all the buttons and like will spin and run and like then just throw it somewhere.

Speaker 1 Do you ever get mad at him for that? Or are you like, this is part of his greatness? Because a lot of times the mash all the buttons play works out in your favor.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I used to do that on Nintendo back in the day on Techmobile, where you just kind of hit all the buttons and maybe Walter Payton would spin and could never tackle them.

Speaker 8 So that's what I tell Josh to do is when we're kind of struggling, you know, like last year, as you said, we were kind of going up and down. I said, hey, Josh, just start mashing all the buttons

Speaker 8 and good things will happen. Right.

Speaker 8 That's my favorite offensive advice to Josh.

Speaker 1 That's some high-level coaching. I'm glad that you're on the same thing.
Yes, yes. Hit the turbo button, Josh.
You still got some turbo left. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, he's very fun to watch. The only concern I have about Josh Allen is every year it seems like he keeps the visor on later and later.

Speaker 1 And no quarterback that's ever worn a visor has won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 So I keep thinking, like, okay, if you start wearing this during the regular season, if you think that you look really cool during training camp and you let it carry over into the regular season, that's bad news.

Speaker 1 So my other high-level piece of coaching advice would be just keep the visor off him in the regular season games.

Speaker 8 Yeah, that's hard, you know, because

Speaker 8 I think he looks good in it.

Speaker 8 And I know he likes to look good.

Speaker 8 Tall, dark, and handsome.

Speaker 8 It's really not that much different than I am that way. Tall, dark, and handsome.

Speaker 8 Short, bald, and whatever that goes. But no, he's a heck of a player, as you guys know.
That's really why we drafted him, because you guys liked him. We kind of did our research.

Speaker 8 Yeah, it'd be a good thing for us here. So, no, he's done a great job.
It's fun to watch him.

Speaker 8 He's really grown every year, you know, on the field, off the field.

Speaker 8 Great teammate.

Speaker 8 The guys love him.

Speaker 8 And then what he does in our community with the outreach initiatives he does is outstanding. We talk about really just being a part of something bigger.

Speaker 1 And,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 8 he's connected with the fan base tremendously here.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's one of those guys just easy to root for. Just one of those guys you find yourself gravitating towards.
I had a question about your beginning. And you're part of Andy Reid's coaching tree.

Speaker 1 What was it about Andy when you were with the Eagles early on where, like, what did he do to help you guys and teach you guys and have all these guys go from Andy's program to going on and being, you know, you have Harbaugh, Ron Rivera, you, Doug Peterson, Matt Nagy, all these guys who've had success in the league.

Speaker 1 What was it that Andy specifically was able to like instill in guys?

Speaker 8 Yeah, he's he's Andy's been a great mentor to me and to many of us.

Speaker 8 The names that you mentioned and many more that have gone on to become head coaches or coordinators in the league.

Speaker 8 It was just, you know, being around Andy was

Speaker 8 really being to me around

Speaker 8 kind of a Harvard approach to football at an early age for me.

Speaker 8 He just, he was ahead of his time from, you know, really leaning on the passing game years and years ago to win. And

Speaker 8 his blueprint for success and his plan, not only just his vision, but his day-to-day plan.

Speaker 8 I think we all learned a lot from that and how detailed he was and his plan and how he was then also able to pivot and adjust.

Speaker 8 I mean, there was times where, yes, we had good seasons right from the start, but also where things got off to a little bit of a rocky start and he was able to pivot and

Speaker 8 keep the trade on the tracks.

Speaker 1 The game that you had against him, Big Cat alluded to it earlier, we have to talk a little bit about it.

Speaker 1 Maybe, you know, one of the best games to watch of all time. It was exhilarating.
Obviously, we're rooting for the Bills and that one.

Speaker 1 Didn't work out the way that we wanted to, but still, just a great ending to a great football game.

Speaker 1 I noticed that you didn't record a podcast afterwards. So you were doing your podcast, and you just didn't give a wrap-up of that one.

Speaker 1 From our perspective, as broadcasters, those are the ones that get the huge amounts of downloads, the ones when you're in just abject misery afterwards.

Speaker 1 So if you want to get the numbers up, you're going to want to put that podcast, recapping that game out.

Speaker 1 But from your perspective as a coach, have you had, have you, is it a game where you go back and you you've watched the tape and you're like okay i'm gonna learn from how it ended or is it a game where you're just like i never want to look at this ever again

Speaker 8 uh yeah it's a little bit of both i'd say i mean it was uh and while you're going through it you don't realize i mean you're in the moment right you don't realize uh

Speaker 8 like so many people texting me after the game what a classic game fun to watch all that type of stuff uh you don't realize that as you're in the game because you're so

Speaker 8 so down into the moment and trying to execute and and do your job and uh obviously i didn't i didn't get it done at the end of the day and um

Speaker 8 you know a lot of a lot of uh sleepless nights after that but also a lot of things that that i've learned from that and

Speaker 8 uh i think it's going to help us and carry us as we move forward i mean the experience we got from that from that game that experience um

Speaker 8 you know, I think will benefit us as we move forward. And

Speaker 8 listen, Buffalo is Buffalo for a a reason man we're strong and and uh we come together and we're looking forward to this season and um that was a heck of a game and one that i'll remember forever in terms of the high highs and also obviously the way it finished but um

Speaker 8 and so i just i think that life is life is a journey and sometimes things like that happen and you got to pull yourself back up and get yourself ready to go and um at the end of the day own the strong prevail and that's what that's what wrestlers do yeah yeah that's that's a fact.

Speaker 1 It was a heartbreaking way for the Bills Lewis. Do you go into the detail of I should have just called a different defense here or there?

Speaker 1 Because I know, obviously, everyone makes a lot about Mahomes and how he scored whatever it was, 19 seconds. Was there one thing where you look at and you're like,

Speaker 1 I kind of screwed that one up?

Speaker 8 Well, the results, the results. So at the end of the day, I could have done a better job.

Speaker 8 But yeah, you go back and

Speaker 8 break it down. Let's start where things started to get a little sideways there and evaluate

Speaker 8 every last inch of that thing so that we're better. I'm better as a coach and we're better as a staff and we're a better football team because of it.

Speaker 1 That's got to be, that would be so painful. I would not want to go and have to like, you know, be like, all right, I have to do all this different.
I have to watch it over and over.

Speaker 1 I have one bone to pick with you.

Speaker 1 And, you know, I don't know how you're going to answer this, but you robbed us of an all-time moment when Nathan Peterman Peterman had five interceptions in the first half and you pulled him. Why?

Speaker 1 Why did you do that? We were having so much fun on Twitter that day. And no offense to Nathan Peterman.

Speaker 1 You said afterwards, even in the fact he made some pretty good throws when he wasn't throwing it to the other team. Why'd you rob us of that moment?

Speaker 8 You guys are beautiful, man.

Speaker 8 I love how you say it with a straight face, too. You both sit there.
Big cats standing with a straight face. You guys are both sitting there straight faced.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I just felt like we would have this this opportunity to connect on it and you'd get a lot more viewers as was mentioned earlier you know four years later so i'm here to help you and your business and and that's what we do um

Speaker 8 i had to go to the uh the highest level of coaching as i mentioned uh school to the to know at some point enough's enough and uh

Speaker 8 I love Nathan Peterman, though. I still, I saw him the other night on television, still pulled for him.

Speaker 8 yeah, that was,

Speaker 8 you know, we

Speaker 8 we had some moments that first year in 2017.

Speaker 8 But the cool part about it is we go and make the playoffs, right? And it hadn't been done in 16, 17 years there. And that team was, I'll also always remember that team, how hard the guys fought.

Speaker 8 And those are moments you learn from too as a coach, right? And that was a long ride home from LA at the time. And

Speaker 8 man, those are some lonely moments, you know, as a coach where you're always trying to do the best you can for your team. And it doesn't always work out.

Speaker 8 But yeah, you learn from them and it only makes you stronger moving forward. So, but I'm glad I could help you guys, at least in part.

Speaker 8 So next time we'll just get a buzzer, you know, they have these channels on my headset. I think every time I get my headset, there's a new button on there.

Speaker 8 So I'll just put, I'll just put, you know, you know, you guys on there and we'll just have a button where you just can chime in and i or i can just dial into you and you can tell me what you want me to do yeah it's like we're going for a record here coach could you could you have a button where i could just dial in be like run the uh the vertical route to the fullback play again i was i love that one yeah we can do that whatever you guys want we'll just i'll just put another button on there and and if i'm not doing like we can just do a shock therapy like if i'm not doing something you want me to do just

Speaker 1 yeah you you do have a i started twitching you did have a great answer because that 2017 bills team did make the playoffs like you if you said hey there's a there's a team that had a game where we threw five interceptions in one half and still made the playoffs for the first time in 16 years that's insane resiliency and uh so you you're right like that team and everyone remembers when the day that you guys made the playoffs and how exciting it was so um yeah the the playoff game was what was it seven nothing was that one of the most boring i think it

Speaker 1 I think it was the exact opposite of the Chiefs-Bills game.

Speaker 8 I feel like it was like

Speaker 8 9-7, something like that. I mean, we had some chances to win the game, and it was a good defensive game.
And I think Jacksonville went on to then beat Pittsburgh the next round.

Speaker 8 Pittsburgh had a great team also.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Blake Bordels. Yeah, 10-3, 10-3.
I just looked it up. I remember being like, oh,

Speaker 1 this one's tough. Yeah, I think they put you on the Saturday game.

Speaker 1 You've got a great player.

Speaker 1 You've got a great rookie this year, Matt Areza, the punter. And he made all these headlines because he kicked the ball.
I think he had like an 82-yard punt in the preseason game.

Speaker 1 Do you have any plans to use him as a weapon? Like, if you've got a guy that can kick the ball to the moon and back, I'd like to see a third-down punt make its way back to the NFL.

Speaker 1 Like, if you're pinned deep on your 10, just like unleash the cannon and he'll pin them like inside the 10-yard line.

Speaker 8 Yeah,

Speaker 8 we put that in this week. we may use it against the broncos this weekend in the our second preseason game uh

Speaker 8 yeah i think that ball that punt is still going right now uh

Speaker 8 so he's he's now the

Speaker 8 him and josh are the two favorites of the of the local fan base here at buffalo hit an 80 82 yard punt right

Speaker 8 uh no he's off to a good start he's he's a great kid um

Speaker 8 and he could be a weapon for us right at the i think was he he the punt god? What do they call him?

Speaker 1 The punt god, right? Yeah, the punt god.

Speaker 8 You know what we should do sometime and see

Speaker 8 who can

Speaker 8 get the ball further down the field. Josh Allen throwing it

Speaker 8 or Matt Areza punting it.

Speaker 1 Has Josh ever told you, like, what, do you know his number? Do you have a number in your mind for a Hail Mary?

Speaker 8 Guy like 110. I I think he told me he can throw it 110.

Speaker 1 But it's got to be, I don't know if it's specifically come up before where you guys are at the end of a half Hail Mary, but like

Speaker 1 it's it has to be what at least 65, right?

Speaker 8 You know what's crazy is so we start our practice and we'll do some

Speaker 8 instead of stretching, everyone kind of stretches first. We'll do some situational stuff first and

Speaker 8 Josh isn't even really that loose and he'll just unleash one down the field and right before he it does, I'm like, hey, just in my mind, I'm saying, hey, easy here, easy, don't throw your arm out.

Speaker 8 He's just

Speaker 8 there, it goes. He's

Speaker 8 yeah, he's got a cannon.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it is, it is insane how far he can throw it. Um, you were you were teammates with Mike Tomlin in college, correct?

Speaker 8 Correct, yeah.

Speaker 1 Was he did he have weird sayings back then? Because he's he's good for like three or four times in a year where he has a quote that everyone's like, What did that mean, dude?

Speaker 8 That's and the eyes, he's got the eye movement

Speaker 8 yes yes yeah he's got that he's got that down he's he's definitely uh

Speaker 8 he's always been a wordsmith right he uses great phrases he so we we used to be at wayman mary and and he would he was a captain when i was a freshman i believe it was so he'd stand in the middle of the circle at the end and talk to the team and

Speaker 8 He always had just a great way with his words and communicating what he wanted to get communicated. So,

Speaker 8 yeah, I watch him. I watch his press conferences sometimes, and

Speaker 8 I'm in all of the words that he uses. I guess, but that's the value of women in our education, I guess.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a fact. That's a fact.
Yeah, what did he say? Like, we don't want hostages, we want volunteers or something like that. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 I think he must really sit in his office or lay in bed at night and just think about these phrases he's going to use because they don't come to me that quick. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's definitely got like a a

Speaker 1 word of the day calendar. Yes, I think absolutely is on his desk.

Speaker 1 Are you a fan of Bill Burr?

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And so, I mean, you do look a lot like him.

Speaker 8 Oh, you know what? I'll tell you what.

Speaker 8 I was telling my wife, so we're,

Speaker 8 this new Top Gun movie came out this summer, right? And my kids are...

Speaker 8 They're old enough to watch it, but they're young enough that they weren't aware of the first, the original Top Gun. And so we're going through it, and I'm trying to describe Tom Cruise and

Speaker 8 how all the

Speaker 8 ladies love him, and why is tall, dark, and handsome, and this and that. And I share with my kids: I said, Hey, there's a lot of people that tell me I look like Tom Cruise.

Speaker 8 And they didn't agree at all, and

Speaker 8 kind of surprised by that. But yeah, yeah, I've heard those comparisons.

Speaker 8 So he's a good-looking guy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he is. He is.

Speaker 1 He's very successful guy. No, we like Bill on this show a lot.

Speaker 1 And I have noticed that there are a lot of pictures of you on the sidelines. It goes viral a couple times a year where somebody like, oh, holy shit, Bill Burr's coaching the Bills.
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 But yeah, I don't really have a question about it. It's just more a statement of fact that you look like him.

Speaker 8 Yeah,

Speaker 8 I've heard that before.

Speaker 8 I appreciate you reminding me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no problem.

Speaker 1 All right, so coach, I had one last question.

Speaker 9 Man, I'll tell you what. When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 9 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 9 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 9 Snickers satisfies, man. man.
That's a winning play.

Speaker 1 Okay, so this year, going into it, now we're big Josh Allen guys. We're honorary members of Bill's Mafia.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to go as far as, you know, be like, oh, we're huge Bill. Like, we're honorary members.
We want Buffalo. We love Buffalo.
We love the city.

Speaker 1 Are you a little worried? Like, how do you deal with the expectations? Because you guys are, I think you might be favorites to win it all. I don't, like, everyone's talking about the Bills.

Speaker 1 This is a year. How do you go in and reset all that? Because it does feel like the entire media and everyone is picking the bills and hyping you guys up.
So you tell us because

Speaker 1 we'll be your mouthpiece.

Speaker 1 We will diminish you guys and put you guys down as much as you want us to to help kind of tamper or damper, sorry, all the media hype.

Speaker 8 Yeah, can you do that? Can you just

Speaker 8 tell everybody we stink?

Speaker 8 We're not going to be any good.

Speaker 8 No.

Speaker 8 Now, it's, this is, you know, we've now going into, we've been here five, going into year six now. So I think it's what you try and do.

Speaker 8 You try and build a program from the ground up and get it to where, you know, you're respected

Speaker 8 in the league and

Speaker 8 respected, you know, on the field.

Speaker 8 And here we are, and I think it's great for our fans that have, you know, were around in particular in the early 90s when this team was

Speaker 8 you know in those in those super bowls with coach levy and jim kelly and thurman and all those guys right so now it's back and and and uh it's taken a lot of work but we're excited about the season um

Speaker 8 and i would say too that you know when you're trying to do things right you're trying to work to a standard you know new expectations if you will don't really don't really come into play because those expectations we all we've always had for ourselves and you know whether it's on the field or off the field you know we've always tried to do things a certain way so uh why should that change now really the is the way we look at it so we love it we love the excitement that's in our community because of it and uh around bills mafia so uh i think we just embrace it and and also our players learned from last season um

Speaker 8 you know when expectations were were increasing at that point as well so I think the last couple of years have really helped in that regard.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Our producer, Hank, is a natural Bills Bills hater because he's from New England.
So

Speaker 1 we'll just give him more of a platform

Speaker 1 to expand on his Bills hatred. That way, it's not all rat poison for you guys, as Nick Sabin would say.
We're giving you some rat shit, too. Yes,

Speaker 8 rat poison. Yeah, I've heard that from Coach David before as well.
I think that's a good term, rat poison.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you guys are getting a lot of rat poison.

Speaker 1 There are a lot of people in the national media that are saying, okay, you guys just hate them at the Super Bowl, and they're forgetting that it's very, very difficult to get there.

Speaker 8 You guys are definitely capable of it but it is to a certain degree rat rat poison yeah it is I mean you see I think that's another thing that I learned from coach Reed is just trying to keep you know stay even keeled and and be consistent in your approach and

Speaker 8 I think that's what serves people

Speaker 8 people well in the end is just keeping your team on on the on the tracks and there's going to be a journey like it is every year. Very few teams, as we know, have clean seasons, so to speak.

Speaker 8 So we're excited for the journey, though. We've got a group of players in the locker room that

Speaker 8 are

Speaker 8 focused, and we've had a great camp to this point. The guys have worked hard.

Speaker 8 There's going to be adversity. We know that.
There's going to be an inevitable gap in there between

Speaker 8 where we are and where we're trying to get to. And that's where we'll be tested.
And that's something we've got to overcome and handle it the right way.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right.
Well, yeah. I mean, if you get to the Super Bowl, we would love.
We're going to fly out Ed and Alicia from Wingnuts. I don't know if you've had Wingnuts before.
Best wings in Buffalo.

Speaker 1 Go there, and you'll get even more street cred in Buffalo because it's.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I love it. You just hit Tomlinson eyes right there.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 We think about Wingnuts. I think about Wingnuts probably four times a week.

Speaker 1 I wish the other day, and I was just thinking about those wings.

Speaker 1 We had a legitimate conversation about...

Speaker 1 Just being like, let's just move to Buffalo so we can eat wing nuts all the time. Like, fuck it.

Speaker 8 There you go. You can move into my house.
Just move into my house.

Speaker 1 We'll call plays for you. I have two kids.
So is that okay? Like,

Speaker 1 that might be a problem. Okay, cool.
Yeah. All right.
No, no problem.

Speaker 8 How old are they?

Speaker 1 Three and one. You can nanny them for me while I go to wingnuts.

Speaker 8 Nothing I'd rather do is wake up in the middle of the night again

Speaker 8 with those

Speaker 8 young kids.

Speaker 8 One-year-old. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, I'll just, I'll have my one-year-old like she's teething right now. I'll just have it, you know, I'll get her a wing nuts, chicken bone.

Speaker 1 Perfect, yeah, it's perfect, yeah. All right, but you gotta check out Wingnuts, my dog, yeah, yeah, check out Wingnuts.
I'm telling you, it's it's it's our favorite place in

Speaker 1 the world. Ed and Alicia are like true buffalo through and through.

Speaker 8 So love it, yeah.

Speaker 1 We'll do that. Uh, coach, thank you again.
We appreciate it. We're rooting for you guys.
Um, thanks for coming on, and uh, hopefully, we see you soon in person.

Speaker 8 Hey, just one question: you know, the whole time we got this bench press sitting behind you guys. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8 Just

Speaker 8 in between work here, you just kind of

Speaker 1 been trying to get our former intern to get his bench press numbers up to match mine. So it's been a long road, but we put in these reps after every interview.

Speaker 1 So we're about to get them on there, try to get them up to 275.

Speaker 8 I love it. We've got a guy upstairs in our analytics department that's been working on his bench press also.
I think that's a good move.

Speaker 8 I'll just move one of those racks into his office. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 You can't avoid it when it's sitting right next to you. Wait, do you really want your analytics guy? Do you want a stat nerd to also be strong?

Speaker 8 I'm trying to get him on the wrestling manifesto, so I got to work on his frame first.

Speaker 1 Okay, if it were me, I would want my nerds to look like nerds. Although, wouldn't that be a competitive, like a new different competitive edge, like Moneyball?

Speaker 1 We have like

Speaker 1 the strongest nerds in the world.

Speaker 8 Strong nerds. There you go.

Speaker 1 That's a good tagline.

Speaker 1 All right, coach. Thanks so much again, and good luck this year.
See you, Coach. All right.

Speaker 8 Thanks, guys. Appreciate it.
Take care.

We're going to do the Mount Rushmore of leftovers. I mean, there's no way.
We looked. Yeah.
We looked.

Speaker 1 We double verified. We double verified.
We looked. Wait,

Speaker 1 is that like double sportsmanship? Yeah.

Speaker 1 We double verified. We both checked.
Yeah. Put two condoms on.

Speaker 4 But if we didn't do it, we'll feel extra dumb.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, you. You double-checked.
But you're the fact-checker. But I remember.
That's your name. Wait, Jake.
So you searched part of my take.

Speaker 4 Part of my take left over from both of you leftovers.

Speaker 1 Mount Rushmore

Speaker 4 of Annie Foods 2.

Speaker 1 You guys ever like to call them Tovers? Sometimes, like for a quick laugh, I call it that. I don't think we can get it.
Raucous applause.

Speaker 1 There might be micro-tears in our verification

Speaker 1 from friction.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 All right, so Mount Rushmore have leftovers.

Speaker 1 We won on Monday. Congrats, good job.

Speaker 1 I just searched for myself and leftovers. I replied to some.
I've got leftovers, all right. Your mom left all her bras over in my room.
Was another one. That was just a quick reply that I had.

Speaker 1 Got him.

Speaker 4 So yeah, the closest to this was Hangover Foods on August 20th, 2017.

Speaker 1 Yeah, hangover foods, but that's different. That's different.
We're talking leftovers. We're talking over the night in the refrigerator or not, depending on what you're going to pick.
Leftovers.

Speaker 1 We have the first pick.

Speaker 1 We'll go first.

Speaker 1 We'll let Jilly go second. We'll let Team Hank go third.
The first pick is the easiest pick in the entire history of Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 1 Chinese food. Number one.
Simple.

Speaker 1 Oh, you kidding me, Hank?

Speaker 1 Don't even try.

Speaker 1 Not all of it keeps. Chinese food does one,

Speaker 1 Easy. Easy.

Speaker 1 Easy. Sometimes I don't even reheat it.
It's so good. You see it left like some Lo Main, some cold Lo Main.

Speaker 1 A little beef and broccoli when it all gets in the sauce. You just, you know, do a little

Speaker 1 General So's chicken. Rice, fried rice.
Get some of that wonton soup. Oh, so good.
All right. Team Jilli.
Have at it. Which one were we going to?

Speaker 1 Sometimes I have leftover Chinese food later on that same night. Yeah.
Yes. Just a couple hours later.
That counts as leftovers. I'll show you that later.
Yeah. Pizza.
Good pizza. Okay, good pick.

Speaker 4 Good cold pizza and a tinfoil.

Speaker 1 Yeah, good. Good.
You don't need to heat it up. Could take the cheese off?

Speaker 1 No. Good pizza.
Pizza fork and a nice.

Speaker 4 I don't think when it's cold, you could even take it off. I feel like it's much harder to get it.
Yeah, you tried.

Speaker 1 It's good. No idea.
It does retain its integrity, its structural integrity a little bit nicer when it's cold. Yes.
Cold pizza. Good pizza.

Speaker 4 The OG first tape?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Yes. Yep.
Danny Jacobson. And what's his name? That other guy.
The white guy who looks like all the other ones. The white guy with the dark hair that wore a suit on ESPN.
Reese Davis.

Speaker 1 Nope. Nope.
Carl Ravich. Nope.

Speaker 1 Our 1-1 is beers.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So leftover beers that you leave out? Oh, like, you know, you maybe have some people over, and they leave over like five or six beers or in their fridge the next day.

Speaker 1 You wake up, have some leftover beers.

Speaker 1 You drink beer for breakfast? So it's already opened? We also had that pick, but you could have gotten that way later. Oh,

Speaker 1 really? Because

Speaker 1 did you get it later?

Speaker 1 No, but you have gotten it way later.

Speaker 1 There's a much more obvious third pick. How many Mount Rushmores have you won this year, Billy? I think Billy's right.
How many have you won?

Speaker 1 At least quadruple to probably seven-tuple as many as you. Billy, we won't win this one.
Like, we won't with this argument. Whatever it's Mount Rushmore.
Okay. All right, beer.
Good pick, Hank.

Speaker 1 Thanks. Alcoholic.

Speaker 1 Our second one

Speaker 1 is going to be chili. Oh, that's a good pick, too.
I had chili, yeah.

Speaker 1 Billy, where is it? Can you draft running a quick, quick mel Kuiper over here? I think chili is one of those things where it's it, it, the flavors get stronger the second day.

Speaker 1 I think it's a very strong pick, Billy.

Speaker 1 Uh,

Speaker 1 have you ever made chili? Yeah, okay,

Speaker 1 good Have you?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Cool.
Great. We've all made chili.
All right. Your guys' next pick.

Speaker 1 Who knows what that was. I'm just so surprised

Speaker 1 this has not been picked yet. Okay.
Just Thanksgiving leftovers.

Speaker 1 All of them? Just the entire meal. All Chinese food? Okay.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I was just asking. I didn't know if there was anything specific.

Speaker 1 People survive off from Thursday to Sunday of whenever Thanksgiving weekend is off of Thanksgiving. Okay.
Have you ever made Thanksgiving food, Billy?

Speaker 1 No. That's a no.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I don't really have a follow-up. He can't even vocalize the no for the people who are listening.
He's just shaking his head because he knows he was about to do a Billy White lie and he's performed.

Speaker 1 I don't really have a follow-up or a point I was trying to make with that. I was just curious what your point to Hank was when you were asking him if he's made chili.
Yes. I don't know.

Speaker 1 I feel like chili's not something like. So whatever aspersions you were casting on Hank at that moment are now being cast upon yourself.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 I just, I have these like set of leftovers in my brain that I will not reveal, and some of these are just not vibing with it. Mm-hmm.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I thought this was a pretty easy Mount Rushmore. Yeah, yeah.
No, it is. There's a lot of good choices out there.

Speaker 1 Before we get our next pick, PFT. Yeah, you know what else is good leftovers? Yes.
Cheese steaks. Yes.
I love a good cheesesteak.

Speaker 1 And if you're hankering for a cheesesteak, I would suggest you try Pardon My Cheesesteak. That's right.
Pardon My Cheesesteak is delicious. We've got Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteaks.

Speaker 1 We've got Chipotle cheesesteaks, which are my favorite. We've got regular original.
We've got all sorts of add-ons that you can put on them.

Speaker 1 And delicious cheesy fries, steak fries, and brownie bites, which are fantastic for dessert. You can find them online.
You can get them on Uber Eats. You can get them on Postmates.

Speaker 1 You can find them coast to coast. And if we're not in your city yet, please check again soon because we are expanding very quickly.

Speaker 1 only for delivery or pickup. They're open seven days a week.
Go to partofmycheesesteak.com. PardonmyCeeesteak.com.
I love the loaded fries, by the way. So good.
Okay. Delicious.

Speaker 1 Our actual pick for our.

Speaker 1 This is our second one. Yeah, what are you?

Speaker 1 I think that we go with the one that I sent you in all caps. Yeah, but then that also takes us away.
Can we pick also? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you're getting.
Yeah, yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay, we're going to go pasta. Pasta with meat sauce.
Like a nice pasta. Lasagna.
Yeah, lasagna. Yeah.
A lasagna or any sort of pasta carbonera. Yep.

Speaker 1 Or or pasta with red sauce and meat is fantastic leftover.

Speaker 1 Here's a little fun fact for everyone as a nutritionist.

Speaker 1 Pasta, cold pasta has no carbs. So that's just a fact for everyone out there.
No carbs, no calories, cold pasta. You can, whenever you eat cold pasta the next day, you could just eat so much of it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And it's just, it just goes right down.
I'm also going to say that mac and cheese counts under this. Yep.
Pasta and sauce. Yeah.
So don't even try it. It's a good pick.
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 1 There's like like the little like drops of water in the you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 4 It's actually not gross, but it looks seems like a gross idea.

Speaker 1 Also, with meat sauce

Speaker 1 in a Tupperware container the next day, you can fucking house that.

Speaker 1 It gets fresher. Yeah.
I brought a big old Tupperware of spaghetti bolognese in the other day.

Speaker 1 It's actually one of those foods that like, yes, I obviously like it hot, but I kind of sometimes like it as a leftover more. A leftover cold is great, but also if you heat it up in the microwave,

Speaker 1 you usually heat it up just a little bit too too much. And extremely hot leftover pasta is also delicious.
Yes.

Speaker 1 All right, PFT, we have another pick. I think we either go

Speaker 1 to the next one. Well, the problem is they might push back on one of them.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. Oh, no, I like yours.
Go. Do that.
Do that. Okay.
And then we can save one of those for the last pick because no one's going to get it because Hankston.

Speaker 1 Should I go with the first one or the second one that I sent you?

Speaker 1 They're both in the same family. Second one.
Okay. Second one.
Pie. Yeah.
Breakfast pie. Oh, so good.
Leftover. Oh, you know what's really good? Another one that has like half the calories.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 Blueberry pie. Apple pie.
Next day. Pumpkin pie.
Just a quick potato. Pond pie for breakfast.
For breakfast? Oh, so good. Great way to start your day.
You get that sugar rush. I'd also like to

Speaker 1 make a plea to the board here. I think cobblers should be included in that.
They're kind of pies. I think that it's like a deconstructed pie.
Yeah, right. They're so good.
Blueberry Peach Cobbler.

Speaker 1 So good. Great pick, us.
Great pick, us. Good pick.
Thank you. Thank you.

Speaker 1 Hank, anything from you? Looks very cool. Anything from you? No? No,

Speaker 1 I look great. I'm happy.
You guys like that pick?

Speaker 1 I saw Max nod furiously when I was like, pasta, no cards. I mean, yeah, Max's team.
I mean, I'm Al Dente Delente.

Speaker 1 I was upset that we didn't go pasta.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. Is that your nickname for real?

Speaker 1 That's actually a Bubba original.

Speaker 1 You've got a lot of nicknames already. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. One rep Max, HBO Max.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You perverted or Italian? Both.

Speaker 1 Three homers for Hostra that one year, Max. Yep, that is true.
Okay.

Speaker 4 Our pick, we're going to stay in that family. We're going to go with cake.

Speaker 1 Oh, we were going to go cake or pie.

Speaker 4 Birthday cake the next day. Yep.
Like, you know, at a big birthday party, you order a cake that's too big, and

Speaker 1 all these gay people in Farty, you know what i'm talking about it's amazing this will be an important part of the draft because we were literally deciding between cake and pie i i i give the slight nudge to pie because yeah no shit because you picked it jesus christ

Speaker 1 i mean like what were you gonna say i give the slight nudge i was gonna explain it forget it we all just do our picks and get out of here we all know that jake loves eating cake

Speaker 1 like yeah like i you know we were in between this pick or this pick but i was gonna explain why but forget it Let's just keep going.

Speaker 4 But like,

Speaker 4 you're just picking.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
I understand. We were going to debate cake and pie.
We were debating the cake. I love cake.
I love pie. I like cake.
We were.

Speaker 1 We decided between the two, and I was going to talk about it between the two where it went pie cake.

Speaker 1 So that's a moment in history where you can debate back and forth cake and pie, but that's not what Hank wants to do. So let's keep going.

Speaker 1 When does a pie stop being a pie and start becoming a cake? I think the crust has a lot to do with it. So if there's...
I would say the cheesecake is a pie. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I think a cake is more tempting because it's staring you in the face. A pie, you can't really tell that it's been eaten into unless unless you are standing on top of it.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Are you talking about butts or actual cakes here? The dessert. No,

Speaker 1 you're talking about the structure of it.

Speaker 4 Like, if the cake was there, I could see that there's leftovers. If a tin of pie is standing there, I wouldn't know.

Speaker 1 So, are we allowed to do this, Hank? Because I have a retort. Yes, please.

Speaker 1 The reason why I thought pie is because when you breakfast, cake for breakfast, that's a little heavy. It's a little heavy.

Speaker 1 Whereas, like, an apple pie or a blueberry pie, that almost feels like a breakfast food.

Speaker 1 It's not that dissimilar from a croissant or some sort of pastry or Danish

Speaker 1 fancy French pastry. Are you also taking meat pies? Yes.
Okay.

Speaker 1 We didn't want it, but we'll take it. You just offered it to me, yeah.
Yes. Everybody loves Jake.
Everybody loves cake. Yeah.
Oh, thank you.

Speaker 1 Come on, get on with it.

Speaker 1 Just take memes as first pick.

Speaker 1 The Kardashians. Yep.

Speaker 1 That's. You want memes as first pick?

Speaker 1 Memes.

Speaker 1 What the fuck?

Speaker 1 I respect it. What is this though? Well, because they've been run through.
Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 No, go ahead.

Speaker 1 Go with your pick. Confusing sloppy seconds and leftovers here.
Yeah. I don't, you know,

Speaker 1 PFT wants memes, he's got him.

Speaker 1 And then for our last one, we will go with soup. Ooh.
Good pick. Okay.
Great pick. You have chili and soup.
Yeah. A lot of chili.
And beers. And you have beers.
You're liquids.

Speaker 1 You hate chewing in the morning. Yeah.
And the Kardashians.

Speaker 1 Don't bother us. I love ourselves.

Speaker 1 Chili, soup. Chili, beer.
No, beer, chili, Kardashian soup. That'll last.

Speaker 1 That's a hell of a tip on Rushworth.

Speaker 1 A lot of liquid in that one. I wish we had already done this one because, like,

Speaker 1 if that were your picks four years ago, reading that back, we've been like, what the fuck would we just do?

Speaker 1 Okay, good picks. I think we caught a dub.

Speaker 1 You might just have. Yeah.
Wait, wait,

Speaker 1 time's not out. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 this one,

Speaker 1 we're going to go with steak. Now, hear me out.

Speaker 1 Making steak sandwiches the next day with mustard.

Speaker 1 Look, there's people out there who know what I'm talking about. Billy, you make a ton of steak.

Speaker 1 Billy, I'm not going to disagree with you.

Speaker 1 I actually, I like eating steak the night. It's not a traditional one.
No, if you cut it up and warm it up,

Speaker 1 if you put it in a pan,

Speaker 1 a little flash pan, it's not that bad.

Speaker 1 I don't hate the pick.

Speaker 1 I actually think Billy's team caught the dub. Thanksgiving getting past me was tough.
That's a good point. That's why I was like, beer and chili? Yeah, do you regret the beer? The beer one was tough.

Speaker 1 Come back on.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 with steak, I think turning steak into an impromptu steak and eggs combo the next day is fantastic. I mean,

Speaker 1 I don't like having like a full steak as a leftover. Right.
But if it's like your leftover steak, if it's like a quarter or less, then

Speaker 1 you get tidbits. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I'm not going to. I'm going to be honest.
I don't. Yeah.
You know, the more I think about it, the more I think that beer was a great pick. Yeah, it was.
By whoever chose that on Hank Steam.

Speaker 1 We'll throw that pick then. PFT, what do we want to do with our last pick? We have a couple.

Speaker 1 Let's see. I'm going to text you back a couple that I'm thinking.

Speaker 1 And I don't know.

Speaker 1 There's a couple there.

Speaker 1 Okay, I'm going to emphasize one thing that you sent over. Okay.

Speaker 1 Consider it emphasized. Oh, yeah.
Let's do it. That's a great one.
Yeah, let's do it. Shepherd's pie.

Speaker 1 Shepherd's pie. Great, great.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. You already took a shepherd.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you're picking pie and pie. You can't double pie.
Yeah, absolutely not. Okay, so then Shepherd's pie.
So we'll say pie, and then in parentheses, even Shepherd's Pie? This is what?

Speaker 1 On the graphic. It's a meat pie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We already know it.
Billy already gave it to you. You're right, I already said it.
You're right. This is why I specify.
You're right.

Speaker 1 All right. So on our graphic, it would be pie of any type of pie, including Shepherd's pie.
Dessert? Pie, as your third one? No, we just took pie. No, no, because Billy's right.

Speaker 1 If we just do dessert pie, then we kind of fucked over because you're right. You're right.
I didn't even think about it.

Speaker 1 I didn't even think about that. It didn't even dawn on me.

Speaker 1 I just loved one thing in the chat. Chicken pot pie.
Yeah, that counts too. Thank you.

Speaker 1 Okay, yeah, you know what? This is, yeah, we can do this.

Speaker 1 This will be contentious. I like meat pies more than sweet pies.
Yeah, what about cream pies? I like it. They're all.

Speaker 1 You love meat pies. I love meat pies.

Speaker 1 Our last pick is going to be

Speaker 1 stuffing.

Speaker 1 Yep. No.

Speaker 1 Yep. No, no, no, no, no.
Why not?

Speaker 1 You can make stuffing outside of Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 I make stuffing at Christmas time. Everyone knows that.
Christmas stuffing. No.
Everyone knows that. That is under my umbrella of Thanksgiving.
Well, you're a team game, Billy. Whoa, hold on.

Speaker 1 But you can make stuffing at different times.

Speaker 1 Stuffing should be a year-round food. It should not be limited to Thanksgiving.
But you guys took Shepherd's pie. Right.
So you can't, like, we have umbrellas here.

Speaker 1 But what about, like, in Canada, you're not eating stuffing at Thanksgiving. All right, you want to, I'll make a trade.

Speaker 1 You want Shepherd's pie, and we'll take stuffing, and you can, you can take Shepherd's Pie for your fourth pick? No. We'll make a trade.
No, no, no, no,

Speaker 1 okay, so stuffing

Speaker 1 stays,

Speaker 1 no,

Speaker 1 okay, I don't think stuffing should be limited to things. I, I, I,

Speaker 1 I understand the, the argument here, so I'm gonna relent

Speaker 1 between a rock and a hard player, it was a valiant attempt by us. We had to make the attempt, it got denied, still Shepherd's Pie and stuffing.

Speaker 1 The attempt got denied, but we had to at least try it. I think in a court of law, you guys would win.
This is

Speaker 1 not good. Okay.
Our last pick is going to be

Speaker 1 light beer.

Speaker 1 No, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 Vodka. Coors light.
You can do vodka. Coors light.
You can do any type of alcohol.

Speaker 1 Why don't we do your one from the fridge, PFT? Yeah. All right.
Yeah, Blue Gatorade in the fridge that you didn't finish. Next one.
Very good one. Yeah.
Thank you, Jake. Thank you.
Thanks, Jake.

Speaker 1 Yep. No, you wake up, you're thirsty as hell.
You might be hungover, and you see that partially dry. Or revival Gatorade.
Nope. You want to know why it's a terrible pick?

Speaker 1 Because if it's left over, that means you're already assuming you've already taken a sip. When you're hungover, you want a big fat glass of Gatorade.
You're only going to get one sip.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're just going to get a little bit of a drink.

Speaker 1 It's the four-gallon bottle. I didn't tell you what size it was.
It's actually the Gatorade that they put on the sidelines. But also, that would mean it's left over from what?

Speaker 1 Because no no one drinks Gatorade like the night before. You got to be careful.
I like to take a little sip off of it. Hank, you got to.
When? Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 The night before, I like to take a little sip off of it. Hank.
Your argument is negating your beer pick right now. Oh, yeah.
Oh, it's mine. Because it's an open beer.

Speaker 1 No, but there's leftover, but people bring over beers. That's something that gets left over.
No one droppers. People bring over Gatorade sometimes.

Speaker 1 No human being.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'm going to bring Gatorade over to your house. Please do.
Mothers. Gatorade Zero.
Kids. Yeah, moms are crushed.
Moms are always revitalized. Bringing Gatorade.
Body armor.

Speaker 1 We could have done body armor. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm sticking by my half-drank blue Gatorade in the fridge.

Speaker 1 Terrible pick. Disagree.
This is going to be interesting. When you wake up and you drink, if you only have a half of thing of Gatorade, that's almost worse.

Speaker 1 No, sometimes that's the perfect amount of Gatorade to drink.

Speaker 1 The perfect amount is unlimited when you're home. Wait, so what are your picks, Team Chili? I think they got it.
We have pizza,

Speaker 1 Jilli dominant.

Speaker 1 We got the rhyme. The best part is we've already taped fries.
Oh, the Kardashians and beers. Yeah, who couldn't forget?

Speaker 1 Wait, wait, did you guys throw this? No, no, no. Are we at a show? We won it.
No, I mean, they probably did. No one's going to be able to do it.
Are we at the pizza situation? So here's

Speaker 1 Black Oll already have a win. Here's.
I'm going to

Speaker 1 pull back the curtain. We already taped Friday's Mount Rushmore because we were all off on Thursday, and we said that Team Jilly were like, they won.
Just guessing. We let you guys go first.

Speaker 1 You might have won this. That was a hostile takeover.
You might have won this. I still think Chinese is 1-1 vital.

Speaker 1 Right. So, wait, wait, what did you guys pick first in your pizza? Pizza is good.

Speaker 1 But we have lasagna. We have pasta

Speaker 1 and we went and pie. We kind of fell apart on fourth pick.
Fourth pick might have soup.

Speaker 1 Shut up, hey. Would you guys have thought curry was a better Chloe Kardashian? That was the other thing I was saying.

Speaker 4 I don't like Curry, period.

Speaker 1 Curry is very good the next day. Very good.
Wait, wait. Never mind.
What? It's Thai,

Speaker 1 not

Speaker 1 Chinese. No, no, I got mixed up.
Oh. Yeah, with the countries.

Speaker 1 Anyone else? He didn't know it was from Thailand. Anyone got anything weird they liked the next day?

Speaker 4 McDonald's, kind of.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's gross. I think fries.
I think we did. That is gross.

Speaker 1 Flushmore fries would be one of those. Fries are bad, yeah.

Speaker 1 Worse.

Speaker 1 Choppy fries. I had pulled pork on there.
That's a great one the next day. Pulled pork.

Speaker 1 Chipotle.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a good pick.

Speaker 1 Chicken salad. Yeah.
Yeah, chicken or tuna salad. Chicken or tuna salad.
Yeah, it's just a weird thing to say out loud.

Speaker 1 That's tough for the graphic.

Speaker 1 That's what I was thinking. But it is a good leftover.

Speaker 1 Chicken salad's better,

Speaker 1 like, the more that it's in the fridge. Correct.
Yeah, the flavors get to know each other. A lot of people disagree with this one.
I do like fried chicken the next day. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Obviously, the skin is not as crispy, but still, it's good the next day. Do you guys like, sometimes I like to eat like

Speaker 1 half a bowl of cereal, and then I'll put it in the fridge? Do you like that the next day?

Speaker 1 That's kind of a good one. Well, you don't like that? I don't think I've ever done that.
Sprite?

Speaker 4 It's delicious.

Speaker 1 What? You just eat like half of your

Speaker 1 steak. What? Wait, Hank, a flat steak.
A flat sprite?

Speaker 1 Hmm. Slaps.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's

Speaker 1 slaps.

Speaker 4 Ooh, the dinosaur chicken nuggets.

Speaker 1 Ah, that's good. Those are good.
Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 4 Your mom puts in a Ziploc. They're leftover.

Speaker 1 That's good. I never had those.
Really good. That is good.
You know what? Never is good leftover? Sandwiches. Always sucks.
Yeah, the soggy bread. Yeah, it always sucks.

Speaker 1 You always think it might be okay. Like, grilled cheese, maybe you can get away with, but everything else.

Speaker 4 If you get it dry, it's fine. No mayo or mustard.

Speaker 1 Well, then that's not a sandwich. So, like, if we had said dry deli Italian sandwich.
Yeah, I'd say no to that. Wait, Jake, you order a sandwich?

Speaker 1 You get it dry.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you get beans? No sauce, no spreads.

Speaker 1 You get turkey.

Speaker 4 Turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles.

Speaker 1 Live a little, man. No mustard.
No mustard, no mayo, no jardan oil. No, nothing.

Speaker 4 Oh, man. There's still enough on it where it tastes good.

Speaker 1 Disagree.

Speaker 1 I'm just eating from a personal level. That's fair.
No, I'll go one more. You're wrong.

Speaker 1 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 1 Hamburgers. I want to weigh the room on this one.
Hot dogs. Hamburgers I don't hate the next day.

Speaker 1 I don't. What? No, hamburgers are good.
I don't. You can eat.
There's another one that's like cold that it goes down so quick. Put in an omelet.
Yeah, there's no calories.

Speaker 1 What are your guys' thoughts on bacon, egg, and cheeses?

Speaker 1 So I usually get those for breakfast, so it's rare that's over.

Speaker 1 That's a full 24-hour. No, it's not, it's more like you get like two of them and you eat one, then you throw the one in your lunchbox.
I do that with McGriddles. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Get like, be super hungover, get like three, and then maybe at like four or five o'clock, just be like, yeah.

Speaker 1 Let's have a McGriddle. Yeah.
That's it. That's a a scumbag move.
That's how I feel.

Speaker 1 That's like a, you know, maybe five or ten years ago, hangover. Like, yeah, I'm saying scumbag in like an endearing way.
Yeah, no, just like, yeah, you're just like, I'm, I'm crushing McGriddles.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you're like, you're so low, like, this is what I'm doing. Yeah.
And Kardashian.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Sounds like a great day.
Does Kardashian never mind? What? You have to finish a thought. Does it fall under cake?

Speaker 1 It's a good joke. Nice.

Speaker 1 Or peach pie?

Speaker 1 Get it? All right. Numbers.
69.

Speaker 1 Hank, have you ever gotten this?

Speaker 1 Jake?

Speaker 4 There's a new account I retweeted today. I'm not going to follow him.

Speaker 1 There's a new account I retweeted today. 51.
That I'm sure I'm going to follow. Everyone should go follow it.
Has Hank ever gotten the number right?

Speaker 4 Did Hank win the lottery? Yeah, did Hank win the lottery?

Speaker 1 I'll go with

Speaker 1 39.

Speaker 1 Put that back. I'm going to go with one.

Speaker 4 I'll say 56.

Speaker 1 I have a feeling this is Hank's time.

Speaker 1 No. Big one.

Speaker 1 Hank can't get it. In a karmic way,

Speaker 1 he doesn't deserve it. He's got it.
He's got a very bad boy. Hank's got it in the...
Oh, I just saw one floating its way up to the top.

Speaker 1 Oh, 36. That one was close.

Speaker 1 Love you guys. Mules are sterile.

Speaker 1 And they're actually better workers than horses or donkeys. Is that donkeys? Mules.
Are they donkeys? They're half donkey, half horse. What are donkeys?

Speaker 1 Donkeys are donkeys. They're also sterile, right? No, no, no, just mules.

Speaker 1 Now, are mules sterile? Are they infertile?

Speaker 1 They're sterile.

Speaker 1 Well, there's been instances of female mules reproducing,

Speaker 1 but it's very rare. Okay.
It was actually amazing. They're like way better than horses.
How old do they get born?

Speaker 1 It takes one horse and one donkey. Donkey and a horse.
Fuck.

Speaker 1 There's also Zorses.

Speaker 1 What's that? It's a horse and a zebra.

Speaker 1 What about Zelephins?

Speaker 1 What about jealous?

Speaker 1 Giraffe in his

Speaker 1 love, okay.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'll be coming for your love, okay.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'll be coming for your love, okay.

Speaker 1 Make me

Speaker 1 a

Speaker 1 girl.

Speaker 1 Needless to say, I've obviously

Speaker 1 stone letter weight Slowly learning that life is okay Stay after me

Speaker 1 It's the bad to be safe and sorry It's the bad to be safe and sorry It's the bad to be safe and sorry Fake on me
