Speaker 5 Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch Sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 4 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 4 No place to hang out or or washing.

Speaker 4 And then I can't blame all of your sons. Oh, no, we're gonna rock it down to E-Lay Trick Iven.

Speaker 4 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 4 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elaine.

Speaker 4 It's part of my take.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take presented by Tostitos. Go to toasted.com/slash Romo and enter for a chance to win Romo in your ear.

Speaker 1 Today Today is Wednesday, November 24th, and I am thankful for you guys and our friendships.

Speaker 4 I'm very thankful. And what I'm especially thankful for is it seems like we've turned the corner after last Sunday's debacle where we really were, we had the old Mexican standoff.

Speaker 1 Hank three apologized to me.

Speaker 4 That's big of him. He did.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, I see

Speaker 1 I slept on it.

Speaker 3 It was more just in the moment. In the moment, I was upset, not really at you guys, but I was mad and you guys kind of got in my crosshair.

Speaker 1 I wasn't personally, but I wasn't

Speaker 1 for for the crosshair talk with Jeff King.

Speaker 3 I was in the wrong, and I should have been

Speaker 3 as crabby as I was.

Speaker 1 Nothing personal. Yeah.
But you did mush me. But it's all right.
We're good now, though.

Speaker 4 That's the most important part: we're okay now. And as Martin Luther King said, quoting Aaron Rodgers, we must learn to live together as friends or we will perish together as fools.

Speaker 1 Ooh, okay. So,

Speaker 3 Coach Boone in Remember the Titans.

Speaker 1 It was.

Speaker 4 Great movie. Yes.

Speaker 1 It's a great movie. Remember when you saw that? Like a decade later? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. So it is Thanksgiving.
It is football time. It is, we had Monday night football, so we're going to break up the show here.
We have Frank Gore coming up.

Speaker 1 We're going to do a Thanksgiving preview. We have Frank Gore, and then we will do the weekend preview and the Bella Twins.
So if you have to work on Friday first, quit your job.

Speaker 1 We say that every year, quit your job. It is

Speaker 1 unconscionable for a boss to make someone work on Friday.

Speaker 4 The only job that you should work on this Friday would be if you're selling Christmas trees.

Speaker 1 Or a first responder.

Speaker 4 Or a first responder. You're doing the public a good, you're performing a valuable service.
You're saving lives and providing people's homes with better smells.

Speaker 4 Besides that, just quit. Quit.

Speaker 1 Quit. Actually, just say you're sick.

Speaker 4 Blanket statement. If you work at a big box retailer and you have to go in on Thanksgiving, you will never regret quitting that job.

Speaker 4 You will look back in years, be like, that was awesome that I quit the day before Thanksgiving and left my manager in a shitty spot. Yes.

Speaker 1 Unless, of course, you have a job where they're like letting you

Speaker 1 pick, oh, day after Thanksgiving or some other day, and it's like, no one's going to be here. I'm going to go and fuck around.
I can kind of see that world.

Speaker 1 I can kind of see that world, but also quit. All right.
Monday night football happened. The Giants are dead.
Jason Garrett got fired. Daniel Dimes,

Speaker 1 not so much.

Speaker 1 And the Bucs, I

Speaker 1 mean, the Bucs are going to do what we all kind of expected. They're going to round into form, figure it out.

Speaker 1 It was kind of an unremarkable game. It was like

Speaker 1 the Bucs went down the field in the first drive, which was just precision offense. And then there was a fat guy touchdown, and then the game was over.

Speaker 1 Well, then you like blinked and the game was over.

Speaker 4 Daniel Jones had maybe the worst interception of the year where he did. He practically threw it to a guy, a fat guy, who was already laying down.
Yes. And

Speaker 4 it was a Doidoy play by Daniel Jones. And then the fat guy touchdown was obviously awesome.
I actually think that Peyton Manning

Speaker 4 got Jason Garrett fired today because when Peyton Manning predicted that call, call, that play call in fourth and short, I think that was like the third quarter, and he's like, they're going to do the fake handoff Daniel Jones run option right now.

Speaker 4 And then they did it, and Peyton Man just like buried his head in his hands. And then Eli was like, well, if you saw it coming and the defense saw it coming, that's not a good sign.

Speaker 4 I guarantee you, Gettleman watched that, was like, fuck, I can't have Peyton Manning predicting my call.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's not good. It wasn't good for Jason Garrett.
It's not good for the Giants.

Speaker 1 The Giants are in prime spot, though, to win a few games down the stretch and have everyone be like, they're building something, even though they're probably not.

Speaker 4 I don't know. I think if you're the Giants, they're probably going to go two offensive linemen in the first round.
They have two first-round picks, right?

Speaker 1 Where'd the other one come from?

Speaker 4 Maybe. I'm pretty sure they have two first-round picks.

Speaker 4 Oh, that's the one that, yeah, Pro Football Focus was like we have them taking two offensive linemen in the first round and we give them a C in our pre-image draft.

Speaker 1 They have the rarest pick. Oh, yeah, that's right.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, that's right.
You totally forgot. You forgot every show.

Speaker 4 Also, one other thing, Hank, would you like to defend your man's tom brady going studs up on that slide in the first quarter he would that's the second time i've seen tom brady do this he likes to execute these like late challenges these high slide tackles

Speaker 1 i mean he's a competitive guy it was a funny slide he started the slide from like three zip codes over he's just like i'm really gonna slide he was running around um who

Speaker 1 By the way, I do have a note. Who tweeted thick six from the part of my take account?

Speaker 1 Wait, let me guess we're not doing that that's i just want to say that right now we're not doing that might have been memes that's okay we're not doing that fat guy touchdown is great fat guy touchdown plays it's very it's it says it it's a fat guy touchdown yeah but does it rhyme no but we're not doing the cutesy thick six thing i do thick six we can't do that the thick six belongs to guys who are thick to say like it belongs to the the mike golick jrs and the jeff schwartzes of twitter they're the ones that like started that one i don't i I still enjoy calling them fat.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's it, it's not broke. Fat guy touchdown.
That's not broke. Like when you say fat guy touchdown, you're like, oh, I want to watch this.
This is going to be awesome.

Speaker 1 Thick six, we're not doing that.

Speaker 4 I do think that fat guy touchdown should be worth more points.

Speaker 1 Yes, obviously you're above 300 pounds. It's worth more than that.

Speaker 1 No, I just, I actually,

Speaker 1 the only like remarkable thing from the game was fat guy touchdown. And I saw we treated, I mean, memes does a great job.

Speaker 1 It's not like he's actually in trouble I'm just saying we're not doing thick six I think whatever

Speaker 1 touchdown is

Speaker 4 a perfect a perfect description of a fat guy scoring a touchdown I think what happened was was Big Cat saw like Jeff Schwartz tweet it and then

Speaker 4 and then Gojo replied to it with thick six and then saw it like retweeted by Cole Kubelik all three guys that we like but then Big Cat was like we can't that's their thing no I I actually literally said fat guy touchdown then I saw our account tweet thick six and I was like wait why are we calling it anything besides fat guy touchdown but you wouldn't want the account to just steal your tweet no but it doesn't i don't that doesn't matter i'm telling you how it went down i didn't see anyone else i saw us tweet it okay and i was like we got to keep calling it fat guy touchdown because that's what it is you know what we're just stealing joe thomas's meme yeah that's what we're doing yeah i don't i actually don't know is it is it something that a lot of people tweet that was the first time i'd seen it i think they've all they've been in congress about and they've discussed it next time that there's a prime time fat guy touchdown we're changing

Speaker 1 you've seen you saw a lot of people tweeted

Speaker 1 no it was all over the time okay all right so we're not yeah fat guy touchdown it's the perfect thing fat guy scoring touchdowns is awesome always also thick six you'd think that it would be an interception right it would be yeah

Speaker 4 it can't be any offensive lineman touchdown you're you're clouding the

Speaker 1 offensive lineman interception for a touchdown that could be a thick six i'd be okay with that i'd still probably go fat guy touchdown but yeah that would at least make sense all right what about this is how good the game was that this is what the debate what about a swole touchdown he called an STD

Speaker 4 okay that's more if you're just jack who workshop that yeah when DK scores we're looking at Mike Gullett Jr.

Speaker 1 as potentially the creator he's of the thick six yeah okay so credit to him as Billy would say just google thick six intellectual property and the Google

Speaker 1 will find out showing you who invented it yes uh but yeah the game was very like it was just not a very good game right because it was the Bucks were in control the whole time The Giants, to have a good game, the Giants had to have that spunk to them, and they just didn't have it last night.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 who came in for the Bucs?

Speaker 1 Who's their backup?

Speaker 4 Blaine Gabbert.

Speaker 1 He came in the Blaine Trade. He came in with like six minutes left.

Speaker 4 The other note that I had about the game was I love those Giants throwback uniforms. Yes.
I love the ultra.

Speaker 1 It's incredible.

Speaker 4 But I feel like they always suck in them. So I don't know.

Speaker 4 You're in a tough situation if you're a Giants fan because literally everyone loves. it.
I think even Giants fans like those uniforms, but I don't recall seeing them ever win while they wear them.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they are very, very good. I mean, they also have lost a lot in the last five years.

Speaker 4 That's true.

Speaker 3 You think I was saying this last night, and Billy and the New York guys are getting mad at me, but this is a serious question. As long as we've been in New York, they've always been terrible.

Speaker 3 If they combine teams, would the Jets and Giants be a good, like,

Speaker 3 top half of the team NFL team?

Speaker 4 Billy, if you include the Bills as a New York team. Okay, well, that's

Speaker 1 three teams. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, no, it's right.

Speaker 1 If you did the whole AFC North as one team, the Bears would be awesome.

Speaker 4 We're combining New Jersey teams. Yeah.
Could New Jersey put together a team that could compete? Who's their quarterback?

Speaker 1 Flacco?

Speaker 1 It's brutal. I think it's Danny Dimes, and yeah, I don't know if they would.

Speaker 4 Probably not.

Speaker 1 You know what? They would make the playoffs. I don't think they would compete for...
Yeah, they would make the playoffs.

Speaker 4 I think they would have about the exact same records. No, they would definitely do that.
As they do right now, if you just cut.

Speaker 1 Yes, Because if you add 100 guys that make an NFL roster together and just pick the best 53 of them, they would make the playoffs.

Speaker 4 I think it depends on what uniforms they would end up wearing. If they get to wear the Giants' uniforms, I think they make the playoffs.
If they wear the Jets, I don't think they do.

Speaker 1 They don't. And maybe Rex Ryan gets to coach them.

Speaker 1 All right, so college football rivalry week. We have

Speaker 1 we're taping this before they announce the college football seeding. I think we all probably expect what's going to happen.
It's going to be Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, maybe Ohio State too.

Speaker 1 I don't know where they end up putting them. Cincinnati, Michigan.
Everything will get figured out.

Speaker 1 Cincinnati, just so we're clear, because I know this is going to happen if Cincinnati makes a playoff, people are going to be like, well, you owe Kirk Herb Street a dinner.

Speaker 1 We owe him a dinner if what happens, which I still do not think is going to happen, if a power five one-loss team gets jumped by Cincinnati. And I still don't think that's going to happen.

Speaker 1 I think if Oklahoma State wins wins out and Ohio State wins out and Bama beats Georgia, Cincinnati will be fucked. But that's a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 So as of right now, I think Cincinnati will find a way to get in.

Speaker 4 I think Cincinnati is going to end up getting

Speaker 4 it.

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 4 they're going to end up getting jumped anyways, I think.

Speaker 4 If you were to really look at how it's going to shake out in the last couple weeks, I think that the committee does not want Cincinnati in the playoffs. I'm not saying that they're right.

Speaker 4 I would like to see Cincinnati in the playoff just to see what the hell happens when you have a group of five team in there. But

Speaker 4 I think the committee's got other plans. I also am very much looking forward to this year's Egg Bowl because we've got a storyline unlike any other going into it.

Speaker 4 The Ole Miss kicker has been suspended for using steroids going into the game, which is the perfect narrative going into it. Something fucked up always happens in Ole Miss Mississippi State.

Speaker 1 And Lane Kippen said that you shouldn't hate your rival

Speaker 1 just because of what school they go to, which sounded, I don't know, if

Speaker 1 he's already got his Florida hat on.

Speaker 4 No, that's rat poison. Yeah.
He's giving him rat poison.

Speaker 1 Cincinnati, though, will get in.

Speaker 1 Unless that chaos that I just said happens, they will get in.

Speaker 1 They are now set up. They have to still beat Houston.
Shout out Houston. Shout out Coach Dana.
They are set up because...

Speaker 1 The Pac-12 has cannibalized itself and the ACC has cannibalized itself, and there's no good team in either of those conferences that could make it.

Speaker 1 So they are set up to finally make the playoff, crash the playoff if they win out.

Speaker 4 Justice for UTSA.

Speaker 1 Yeah, justice for UTSA. Although that was a crazy ending, the way they won that game.

Speaker 4 It was stupid.

Speaker 1 It was crazy. But yeah, I do think

Speaker 1 as we sit here right now, I think Cincinnati will find a way to get in because I don't see Bama beating Georgia, Ohio State winning out, and Oklahoma State winning out.

Speaker 1 All three of those things happen, mostly just Bama beating Georgia.

Speaker 4 On the coaching search front, I've seen some evidence that the Virginia Tech plane was in Lynchburg, Virginia, home of Liberty University. Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 And I also heard

Speaker 4 that Hugh Freeze did a little secret meeting with them, and he was the one that actually got on that plane and flew back to Blacksburg with Virginia Tech. That would be a hilarious combination.
Yes.

Speaker 4 He knows the area.

Speaker 4 Get him. I would love to see Hugh Freeze at a big program again.

Speaker 1 Yes. Absolutely love it.

Speaker 1 He definitely will get another shot because the guy can coach, the guy can recruit

Speaker 1 legally.

Speaker 1 The coaching carousel is going to be awesome to watch because Dan Mullen getting fired, which I kind of expected.

Speaker 1 I think everyone who was watching the situation expected because Florida is a complete dumpster fire.

Speaker 1 It also speaks to how awesome the SEC is that you can't have one bad year in the SEC if you're one of the top programs. You can't.
He went to the SEC championship game last year.

Speaker 1 He lost to Missouri. It's also, there's like a list.
We should get

Speaker 1 a finite list of teams that you can't lose to if you're an SEC power. And then if you knock, like, you can't lose to South Carolina when they're rebuilding.
They did that.

Speaker 1 And then when they lost to Missouri, it's like, well, you really can't lose to Missouri here.

Speaker 4 No, Vanderbilt, like we were saying with the Kansas thing in the Big 12. If you lose to Kansas, you're probably going to get fired.
Doesn't matter what else you do.

Speaker 1 Wash Texas, by the way, has not won since PFT said they might sneak in the playoffs. That's a fact.

Speaker 4 I had a thought yesterday, and it's going to make so many people mad, but

Speaker 4 I think it's a legitimate question to ask. So if you're a Texas fan, I'm warning you, turn your radio off.
If you're an AM fan, turn your radio up because it's going to make you smile.

Speaker 4 If you're Texas, you definitely still, you regret for the first time in probably like eight years firing Mac Brown.

Speaker 4 You wish that Mac Brown had stuck around.

Speaker 1 I'll go one further. If you're Texas, you regret firing Tom Herman.

Speaker 4 No, yes.

Speaker 1 I don't think so.

Speaker 4 Yes. I don't think so because he had a couple years.
He had a couple years to put his Herman stink on the program.

Speaker 4 Sarkeesian is still a little bit more.

Speaker 1 Did they not go to the Big 12 championship game last last year, and they haven't beaten anyone this year. They've lost seven in a row and lost to Kansas?

Speaker 1 Like, I think that's how bad it's gotten to Texas, that there's definitely Texas fans that are like, wait, did we make a mistake here by firing Tom Herman?

Speaker 1 Even if we thought it was really bad then, it's way worse now.

Speaker 4 He also had first-round talent, Sam Ellinger, quarterback. And Sarkeesian doesn't have that right now.
I think that most Texas fans...

Speaker 4 They are looking at Stark as being like two, three-year project because he's got to get recruiting. He's got to do all that stuff.

Speaker 4 Herman was like, okay, we gave him enough time. We figured out it's not going to work.
It's not going to fit for what we want to do.

Speaker 1 So we'll move on from Herman.

Speaker 4 But if you look at the big picture, damn, Mac Brown's looking pretty good to you right now.

Speaker 4 And Mac Brown was the only person in like the last, yeah, certainly like the last 25 years that could really handle the Texas side of Texas when it comes to managing the boosters, glad handing everyone.

Speaker 4 Miss Sally's out here, shaking everyone's hand.

Speaker 4 Mac Brown was as good as it was going to get for Texas. And then everybody else, they've just been trying to chase that.

Speaker 1 Tom Herman, they didn't go to the Big 12 Championship game last year, but they were tied for third, and they were the 19th team in the country.

Speaker 1 And now they're a complete, complete dumpster fire that's completely bottomed out.

Speaker 4 It's a rebuilding year.

Speaker 1 I think they absolutely, there's definitely some Texas fans. They're like, did we fuck up firing Tom Herman? Because, man, this is bad.

Speaker 4 I think the fuck up is moving on from Mac Brown.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but that's a long time ago. Like, that's probably, there's been probably many years where they've been like, we messed up with that.
Like, all the iterations of Texas Coast.

Speaker 4 No, because I don't think they've ever truly admitted that that was a mistake. Because at the time when Mac Brown got fired, or when they mutually decided to part ways,

Speaker 4 everybody was kind of in agreement that, yeah, Mac just kind of got lazy, stopped recruiting. The programs tanked at this point.

Speaker 4 And then ever since then, they've had a lot of big-name hires or hires that were supposed to be the next guy, the guy that was going to get them back to the place. So they've been looking forward.

Speaker 4 Now you have to think, like, damn, Mac Brown was pretty good while he was here.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you, Tom Herman was pretty good when he was here. Tom Herman went through,

Speaker 1 he went,

Speaker 1 he went well over 500, won a big bowl game, the Texas's back bowl.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that thing is a mess. It'll be interesting to see the coaching care.
So, like, it's very rare that three top 10 jobs are open in Florida, USC, and LSU. So

Speaker 1 it's going to be fun to watch coaches squirm, big-time coaches squirm.

Speaker 4 I'm trying and failing to think of a more hilarious situation than Jason Garrett ending up at LSU.

Speaker 4 That would be very funny to see him try to fit into that culture. Yeah.
Like, hey, can I have a fork for all these miniature spicy lobsters that you're serving me?

Speaker 1 I just want Urban Meyer to go back to Florida or go to USC. It would just be fun.
It would be fun to see.

Speaker 4 Do you think Urban could coach the Jaguars and the Gators at the same time? Yes. I think he'd probably be a better coach,

Speaker 4 a better NFL coach if he had like other shit that he had to take care of.

Speaker 1 Absolutely, yeah, keep himself extra busy. Um, all right, so we'll see how rivalry week goes.
Um, I'm very, very excited.

Speaker 1 Oh, one last thing: if you're a superstitious person, if you believe in these type of things, uh, Milton Andrew Munson Jr., who passed away a couple days ago, 73 years old, his obituary, he said, uh, in lieu of flowers, please place an irresponsibly large wager on Nebraska beating Iowa.

Speaker 1 So, I will be placing a wager on Nebraska in you have to. For a dead guy, you have to.

Speaker 4 I like that. It's a nice change of pace from the old obituaries that you always see where it's like, I don't know, a Browns fan that dies.
You're like, oh, they requested that the Pall Bearers be

Speaker 4 offensive linemen on the Cleveland Browns so they can let them down one last time.

Speaker 1 No, this is. I'm sick of that.

Speaker 4 That's plagiarism at this point. And if you're plagiarizing from beyond the grave, I got no time for you.
This guy, I appreciate the fact that his family, I don't even think it was this guy's idea.

Speaker 4 I think his family was just like, he would have liked this very much, put a big bet on Nebraska.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 He, uh, in his obituary, it says, uh, around the time the Huskers were jobbed by the refs against Penn State in 1982, the effects of bipolar disorder and addiction began to take hold on Milt and would profoundly affect him for the rest of his life.

Speaker 1 So they really went in on the obituary.

Speaker 4 So that's the complete opposite of it's okay to not be okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and it's also just the complete opposite of like the cliche.

Speaker 1 Like, no, this Nebraska had a tremendous negative impact on his life at certain points. Nebraska.
Also positive in the 90s.

Speaker 4 Nebraska killed him, though. Yes.

Speaker 4 Do you think that Milt, if he can see his obituary right now, it'd be very funny if he was like, what the fuck? Like, I didn't even really like football that much.

Speaker 1 Yeah, what the hell?

Speaker 4 I think the football guy is the person that wrote the obituary for his dead relative.

Speaker 1 Yes, I'd agree. I'd agree.
All right.

Speaker 1 Let's do some.

Speaker 1 Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 One last thing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Bedlam. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Bedlam's fucking awesome. Tell me, everybody tune in, watch Bedlam, and tell me that that sky is not the darkest sky that you've ever seen in your life.

Speaker 1 It's going to be the first Bedlam I don't take the over in, probably in my entire life.

Speaker 4 I'm going to say fuck it and take the over anyways because it's Bedlam.

Speaker 1 Oklahoma State's defense is very good.

Speaker 4 I know. But neon black, baby.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so it will be, yeah, I'm excited for all the games.

Speaker 1 Great slate of college football games on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. All right, let's talk Thanksgiving, though.
Thanksgiving Day.

Speaker 1 The Bears and the Lions, Tim Boyle versus Andy Dalton, official.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry. Thank you.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 No,

Speaker 4 I've changed my mind about it. It's hilarious enough to the point where I like the fact that it's Andy Dalton and Tim Boyle.

Speaker 1 Here's what I'll say.

Speaker 1 Let's do some perspective because you would think this is going to be the worst game ever.

Speaker 1 If we have maybe younger audience, they don't remember that in 2004, the Bears played on Thanksgiving Day against the Cowboys. That actually might have been the worst game ever.

Speaker 1 I'd actually like to see 30 for 30 done on this game because it had four quarterbacks. Can you name any of the four quarterbacks that played in this game?

Speaker 4 2002?

Speaker 1 Two and two.

Speaker 1 Two for the Bears, two for the Cowboys. Orton.
Nope.

Speaker 4 My two

Speaker 4 early for Orton. Yes.

Speaker 1 It was Jonathan Quinn

Speaker 1 and Craig Krenzel on the Bears, Drew Henson, and Vinny Testaverdi on the Cowboys. This game was so bad, so bad, that it featured four quarterbacks and three of the quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 That was the last time they played an NFL game. They threw a pass in the NFL game.

Speaker 4 It was just agreed upon that, like,

Speaker 1 we're not going to do this again. We're done.
So just remember, there's 19 punts in the game.

Speaker 1 19 punts.

Speaker 1 Three for 27 on third down. We should just, people should watch the YouTube of that game to remind yourself that it can't be that bad.

Speaker 4 Was that was Bill Parcel's coaching

Speaker 4 at that point? That was like his first year?

Speaker 1 It was so, so bad. So this one's gonna be bad, but it can't be that bad.

Speaker 4 All right, I think we need to have an honest conversation as a nation about Tim Boyle.

Speaker 4 What the fuck is Tim Boyle? Why is Tim Boyle in the NFL? And if you're Tim Boyle, please don't. I'm sorry, but I'm doing my job as a sports analyst on this.

Speaker 4 Why is he in the NFL?

Speaker 1 Well, have we figured out? Because

Speaker 1 he

Speaker 4 wasn't even good at UConn.

Speaker 1 No, he actually sucked at UConn. Right.

Speaker 4 And then he transferred to Eastern Kentucky and had a breakout season, his senior year, where he threw for 11 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Yes.

Speaker 4 After sucking at UConn,

Speaker 4 he sucked at Eastern Kentucky. Yes.
And now we've just agreed that he's going to... be an NFL quarterback?

Speaker 1 Well, he has what

Speaker 1 some people would refer to as good in the room qualities.

Speaker 1 I think that's got to be the only thing that it's, you know, Chase Daniel was actually good at Missouri, but there are certain guys who stick around long enough because everyone just kind of likes them and they're non-threatening.

Speaker 1 Like Tim Boyle is non-threatening in a quarterback room and he's a good guy and everyone looks at him as like, hey, there's Tim Boyle. But it does make no sense.

Speaker 4 Do you know that Tim Boyle is a good guy?

Speaker 1 That has to be the only reason.

Speaker 1 There's no other explanation.

Speaker 4 Unless he has blackmailing somebody.

Speaker 1 But it would have to be two different teams.

Speaker 4 That's true. Because

Speaker 1 it would make sense if he had blackmail on one team and was on that team, and we all were just like, oh, that's weird. Tim Boyle, but he was on the Packers, and now he's on the Lions.

Speaker 1 And Tim Boyle, I mean, they should write a movie on Tim Boyle.

Speaker 4 We actually throw you out if you brought this script to them.

Speaker 1 We had this argument with Dion on the Pro Football Football Show because we were like, Tim Boyle, like, sucked at UConn. How is in the NFL? And Deion was like, well, everyone in the NFL is good.

Speaker 1 And we're like, no, I don't think so. No, I don't think Tim Boyle's good.
Tim Boyle's not good. No.

Speaker 4 Spoiler alert for the Pro Football Football Show.

Speaker 1 There it is. Yes.

Speaker 4 He stunk at UConn. He was like really, really bad at a really, really bad school playing against other really, really bad opponents.
Tim Boyle. And now he's in the NFL.
Yep.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Tim Boyle.
Tim Boyle. He's probably got some measurables we don't know about.
Well, okay.

Speaker 4 Let's be fair. He's 6'4.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 He's 232.

Speaker 1 Probably can throw the ball very far.

Speaker 4 He looks good coming off the bus. Yes.
On the Bears side of things, big cat.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 The Bears are actually doing us a favor by not firing Matt Nege ahead of this game.

Speaker 1 Yes. Because...
The report is that he's fired after this game, which, again, is just - I don't know. It's a weird, weird thing that's going around here.

Speaker 4 I don't even think that the report's right.

Speaker 1 No, well, yeah. It's who fires someone and doesn't fire them?

Speaker 4 Either that or Matt Nagy could just, I could see him crying and crying his job back. Yes.
He could definitely pull one of those moves. Chuck Pagano did that, right? Yes.
He just cried with Jim Ursa.

Speaker 4 He cried.

Speaker 1 He cried his way back.

Speaker 4 I could see Nagy just definitely just.

Speaker 3 And Doug.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, Doug Peter. Doug Murray.

Speaker 4 No, no, no. That was all speculation on our part.

Speaker 1 He kind of said he kind of said it could be a good idea.

Speaker 4 I think we kind of like, we fed him that. We're like, just say that you cried.
And he was like, sure, yeah, whatever you weirdos want. He's from the Bronx, dude.
He fights. He doesn't cry.

Speaker 1 He would take down Jalen Ramsey.

Speaker 4 I think that they're doing us a favor by not firing Matt Nagy because they would have given the team insane interim energy yeah and then they would have beaten the lions as it stands now after all that shit that I talked about Tim Boyle

Speaker 4 I'm gonna bet on the Lions dude the money line the I'm betting on Tim Boyle the Bears quarterback maybe ever to play in the NFL the Bears shouldn't be favored over anyone It's crazy.

Speaker 1 Like, I know the Lions don't have a win, but the Bears are four-point favorites over the Lions.

Speaker 1 Like, the Bears, everyone is either injured or hates Matt Nagy and has quit, and now Andy Dalton's going to go out there, and it's going to be just a god-awful game.

Speaker 1 Also, just a side note, I think you guys saw the fire Nagy chance have been going around Chicago. There was one at Nagy's son's high school game, and I don't like that.

Speaker 1 Okay, but here's what you guys have families.

Speaker 4 Yeah, this is the best part.

Speaker 1 Now, I'm not going to tell like high school kids are going to be mean no matter what, right? Like, that's it's crazy to sit on a

Speaker 1 pedestal and be like I can't believe these high school kids how could they do this I also think it's very funny I it sucks for the kid it sucks I wish that hadn't happened it sucks but it's very funny to see a lot of people on Twitter be like there's a time and place like Twitter where I say the really mean things about Matt Nagy and his sons who are in high school can most likely read yeah like I'd be such a hypocrite to be like how could you possibly do that their sons can watch this podcast where I say very mean things about Matt Nagy.

Speaker 4 The difference is like, it would be like you adding his sons on Twitter.

Speaker 1 Of course.

Speaker 4 Where you go to their game and you scream it at the kids on the field. Like, you're not saying that to start a conversation or get the debate going.

Speaker 4 You're not calling up your favorite drive-time host on Chicago Sports Radio. You're actually telling his son that, which

Speaker 4 but it's also in the First Amendment that you're allowed to.

Speaker 1 Shouldn't do, but it's just funny to me to be like, there's a time and place.

Speaker 1 And some of the people saying there's a time and place have also said some shitty things about Matt Nagy or been like, fire him. He needs to be fired.
I'm just not going to be a hypocrite here.

Speaker 1 You shouldn't do it there, but I also am not going to be like, damn, I can't believe these kids. How dare they? They're fucking high school kids.
These are mean.

Speaker 4 Do you think that at some point, if somebody's like chanting at you that your dad sucks at his job, eventually you'll be like,

Speaker 4 dad, you suck at your job. You should be fired.

Speaker 4 You think they can be turned against their own dad? Yeah, probably like, well, if you watched his offense enough.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 I bet you that the kids' offense in high school is more creative than what the Bears are putting out. Yes, absolutely.
The big question is: was Matt Nagy at the game?

Speaker 1 I think he was. Maybe not.
I don't know, actually. I can't confirm or deny.
Either way, it's a weird situation. He knows he's fired.
Everyone knows he's fired.

Speaker 1 It's whether a question that it's going to be right after this game or at the end of the season, I probably lean towards the end of the season because the Bears never fired anyone in season.

Speaker 1 But yeah, the Bears are a dumpster fire. This game, I apologize to America.

Speaker 4 No, I'm okay with it again.

Speaker 4 It's gotten so bad that, and I did, I followed my own advice where I picked up a bunch of really shitty players in fantasy football, so now I forced myself to care about the game. I love it.

Speaker 4 So I have an excuse to be like, no, listen, I really got to watch this Bears-Lions game.

Speaker 4 It means a lot to me personally.

Speaker 1 All right, so should we do, we're going to do, how we're going to do our picks right now is we're going to do one pick for Thanksgiving Day, and then we'll do our four picks after Frank Gore interview.

Speaker 1 So, Hank, why don't you start one pick? Yeah, we always start with

Speaker 1 the

Speaker 1 fifth pick. It could be anything you want.
It can be an over and under a favorite. Got it.

Speaker 1 And we can talk about all three games.

Speaker 4 The turkey pick. The turkey pick.
What's your turkey pick, Hank?

Speaker 1 What's your turkey pick, Hank? And a side, Obama.

Speaker 1 And a side. We should debate sides.

Speaker 3 I'm going to go with the Buffalo Bills minus five and a half.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 3 I think you said this on Advisors, but I was watching that earlier. Loser leaves town game.
The Bills have to win this game. It is.
They have to win this game. Trevor Simeon is just not good.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Just not good.

Speaker 3 So if this was three weeks ago, I feel like the spread would have been like 11. This is smart.
The Bills have kind of come back to earth, but I still think this is their get-right game.

Speaker 3 If they're going to, you know, I mean, if they're going to make a run, they have to win this game and they have to dominate.

Speaker 4 Taysom Hill, fresh off a brand new contract.

Speaker 1 Yes. Again.

Speaker 1 I was so confused about that.

Speaker 1 It makes sense. I had to, like, I thought I was having a stroke.
So the only scene.

Speaker 3 Am I on Twitter two years ago?

Speaker 4 The only team that does this is the Saints, and it's because if anything weird is happening in contract situations in New Orleans, it's because Sean Payton just wants to get his guys paid yes and so he'll just restructure a contract and give somebody a crazy big number that it looks like so that they can get more money up front because Sean Payton just loves taking money from the owners of the team and transferring it to his players yes and that's why players love him and want to keep playing with him because he'll go out of his way to make sure that you get paid also maybe he did it because he's like I'm not I'm never gonna start you, but I'm gonna keep paying you like a starter, just so that we can be friends.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's like a little gadget boy.

Speaker 4 Well, it's like at the start of the pandemic when we all paid our dog walkers.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 4 And yeah, so even though we don't need your services right now, we want to make sure that you're still happy because we're good people. Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 Sean Payton, good, good guy of the year award. All right, so you're taking the same

Speaker 1 bills. I have taking the bills.
All right. Minus five and a half.
Of all these choices, and you take a favorite. Interesting.

Speaker 4 Did we change hands?

Speaker 1 He's about to switch. No, no, I know.
I mean, I can't.

Speaker 3 The Lions, like, if it was Jared, that would be the easiest bet in the world. Although they'd probably be favorites.

Speaker 1 You're not a Tim Boil guy? Not a Tim Boil guy at all.

Speaker 3 Raiders are bad. And the Raiders, it's like, yeah.
Okay. I know.

Speaker 3 The Bills is the clear pick out of those, in my opinion. IMHO.

Speaker 1 That game, yeah,

Speaker 1 it is a loser to leave town. It feels like whoever loses that game, we're going to feel very, very bad about.

Speaker 1 Liam.

Speaker 1 I'm going to take the over in that game. Okay.

Speaker 1 Oversclub.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Go to the Barcelona Sportsbook.
Boom. Bars Sports Club and two.
I feel like the bills are just due for like a breakout game. Yes.
Yes. Very much so.

Speaker 1 All right. Go to the Barcelona Sportsbook.
Bet $250. You get the best Overs Club.

Speaker 1 Under exclusive, you get the best Overs Club jacket we've ever had. It's a starter jacket.
It's awesome. PFT.

Speaker 3 I'm going to be. And you're going to be drunk after Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 Points. Just sit on the couch and just points, points, points.
Chaos.

Speaker 4 I'm taking Tim Boyle. Yeah.
I'm taking Tim Boyle. Three?

Speaker 1 I have to.

Speaker 4 I have to take Tim Boyle.

Speaker 1 In all likelihood,

Speaker 4 I'm never going to get a chance to bet on Tim Boyle again.

Speaker 1 Do you know what I'm going to do? I'm also going to take, I'm not going to bet against the Bears, but I'm also going to take Tim Boyle. I'm going to take the over 41 and a half in that game.

Speaker 4 That's fucking crazy.

Speaker 1 No. It's the tough.

Speaker 1 It's the dumbest pick I've ever made.

Speaker 4 This game is going to be, here's my prediction for the final score. Expected points in this game.

Speaker 4 13 to 4 is my final score.

Speaker 3 I was just going to say, it's going to be one of those weird score games.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 We're

Speaker 1 going to add it.

Speaker 4 What are those called? When you have a score that's that's like you don't see ever

Speaker 1 we should say

Speaker 4 it's a rare score uh yeah i'm gonna take tim boyle i i have no choice but to take i'm gonna be a boilermaker

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 4 he did an interview and he said uh i've been in the nfl for four years now i'm not a rookie it's my first rookie you're trying are you telling us or are you asking us no he's just saying i'm not a rookie everyone stop calling me a rookie i've been around for four years

Speaker 4 tim boy and he just he appreciates that Dan Campbell is giving him an opportunity. He said, whatever he calls, it's going to be great.

Speaker 4 So we've got some awesome chemistry going on between Dan Campbell and Tim Boyle. I just want to see Dan get his first win on Thanksgiving.
That's really, I'm betting with my heart, not my brain.

Speaker 1 I have nothing left in this game because Justin Fields isn't even playing. So the

Speaker 1 goal of watching him progress is gone. And I want Matt Nagy fired.
And it would be great if, I don't know, this game is good. I'm taking the over.

Speaker 1 It's the dumbest pick I've ever made in my life, but wouldn't it be cool if it was a Tim Boyle Andy Dalton shootout? It would be very cool. Imagine if both of them threw four touchdown passes.

Speaker 1 It'd be very cool. Or three pick sixes each.
You got your over. There we go, Jake.
More or less though. Positive vibes.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 All right, Billy, what's your pick?

Speaker 4 I'm also on that.

Speaker 1 Okay. Let's go.
Let's ride together, Billy. Yeah, over.

Speaker 1 Over 41.5 Bears Lions.

Speaker 4 But that's your turkey pick. It doesn't count on the drive to the 405.

Speaker 1 No, no, no.

Speaker 1 This does count. This does count.

Speaker 4 We are. We're doing five official picks.

Speaker 1 Yes, five official picks.

Speaker 4 This count was going to be official.

Speaker 1 You feel still feel good about Tim Boyle? No.

Speaker 4 That's okay. I feel great about Tim Boyle.

Speaker 1 I mean, I took the over. There's no dumber pick in the world than that.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I think I took Tim Boyle, and then you guys were like, fuck it, I'm not going to let you one-up me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm taking Tim Boyle to the next one. Do you want to get nuts?

Speaker 4 Let's get nuts.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Bill, you sticking with it?

Speaker 6 We're doing one Thanksgiving plus the usual four.

Speaker 1 Correct. Okay.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Correct.
Thanksgiving can be any category. I'm also with Liam for the Overs Club 45 and a half.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 And then we didn't talk about the Raiders, Cowboys. Weird kind of game because I don't know what to expect from the Raiders at this point in the season.

Speaker 1 And the Cowboys, like, are they CDs out, I would assume, right?

Speaker 4 I think so. Is it

Speaker 4 if he's still concussed? He's going to be out. Zeke,

Speaker 4 I think, is nicked.

Speaker 1 Okay. I think he's.

Speaker 4 CD has cobwebs. Zeke is nicked.

Speaker 1 And Amari's out.

Speaker 4 Amari has COVID.

Speaker 1 COVID, yeah.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 Not great. No.

Speaker 4 But, I mean,

Speaker 4 the Raiders looked pretty bad last night. Really bad.

Speaker 1 And the emotional bubble, like, has burst fully on the Rich Basicia days.

Speaker 4 You think so? Yeah. You think that's done?

Speaker 1 I think it might be done.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I'm going to take Mike McCarthy on Thanksgiving. He's going to be hungry.

Speaker 1 He'll be real hungry. Real hungry.
Probably a couple.

Speaker 1 A couple drumsticks hidden underneath his poncho.

Speaker 4 I hope his stomach's mic'd up so you can just hear it growling the whole game.

Speaker 1 Let's make sure Mike gets some maybe halftime stuffing.

Speaker 4 Jerry's going to be extra drunk. I think Jerry starts pouring the Johnny Walker blue at about 8 a.m.
on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm going to say Tuesday, on Tuesday.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so he's definitely going to be lurking. He might even get down to the sidelines and just stand behind Mike McCarthy like he's going to assassinate him like in Warzone.

Speaker 4 That's

Speaker 4 my hope at least for this game.

Speaker 4 I'm going to bet on the Cowboys, I think, which makes me feel like kind of a sucker because seven and a half is a lot of points.

Speaker 1 Big time sucker energy, and I agree. So even bigger sucker energy.

Speaker 4 The fact that we are both gonna do it yep uh all right let's do hot seat cool thrown then let's get frank gore frank gore was awesome in studio hot hey it's pft here reminding you that boars head makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless whether you order catering platters ahead from your local boars head retailer or you create your own spread at home with boars head premium deli meats and cheeses you are sure to impress your guests My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo style chicken paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy monster cheese are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 4 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Thanksgiving. All right, hot seat, cool throne, Hank.

Speaker 3 My hot seat is the New Jersey Devils. Oh, yeah.
So, this is, I kind of alluded to it earlier, but it's something I have been thinking about more

Speaker 3 just about how long we've lived in New York, which has been a while, and just how bad all of those franchises are the entire time.

Speaker 1 Decade.

Speaker 1 First decade, the Yankees have never won a World Series, and then also first decade that no, obviously these are correlated, no New York team franchise, period, won a championship.

Speaker 4 Thanks a lot to Blasio.

Speaker 3 And it's like, I personally, it's not even like I'm against New York. We live near the garden, or we work near the garden.

Speaker 3 It'd be sick if the Knicks, I mean, the Knicks are decent now, but it's fun when the Knicks are good. They haven't been good basically until last year.
They made a little bit of a run.

Speaker 3 Rangers have never been good. And now the Devils, I kind of live over by where the Devils are, and they're terrible.
They released jerseys today, like new, new jerseys.

Speaker 3 And you never want to do the thing where you release a jersey and the entire internet roasts you. And that's what happened.
Apparently, Marty Brodor designed them. Marty?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Marty Brodeur did.
Marty Brodor. Martin Brodor.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Marty.

Speaker 1 It's just the guys calling them. This is just weird.

Speaker 4 It would be like, this is a new jersey, new jersey.

Speaker 3 And it just says jersey on it. The jerseys just say jersey with like lines down the side.
It looks like the least designed jersey of all time.

Speaker 4 When I looked at it, it, I thought that it was just labeling what it was.

Speaker 4 So it wasn't like, okay,

Speaker 1 this is not my warm-up. Yeah, it was a template.

Speaker 4 These are not my pajamas.

Speaker 3 So they were getting roasted. The other person getting roasted on the internet was Kevin Durant.

Speaker 1 You see the picture of his legs?

Speaker 4 Yeah, but disagree. It was tough.
But Kevin Durant came back. Yeah.
Because that guy was being goofy, making fun of Kevin Durant's legs.

Speaker 1 Who? Everyone was making fun of Durant.

Speaker 4 The person who started, Patient Zero. I don't know who it was, but then Kevin Durant, I don't know if you saw this.
This is why I fucking love Kevin Durant

Speaker 4 on Twitter, where we used to think he was being too sensitive. Now it's just funny because he doesn't even bother with the burners anymore.

Speaker 4 He just says, I'm about to pull my y'all broke card in a second. Fuck y'all.

Speaker 1 I love it. I love it.

Speaker 4 And I hope that Adam Silver never tries to step in to be like, hey, guys, can you stop swearing so much online? Because, you know, the thoughts occurred to him. Yeah.

Speaker 4 But I think he's just going to get smacked if he tries to do it because the players run the NBA. Just let Kevin Durant just continue to fire on all cylinders on Twitter.

Speaker 1 But I agree with you, PFT, that like the Kevin Durant could so easily just ignore this. Instead, he just sub-tweeted the entire internet.
Yeah. The entire internet was sub-tweeted with that.

Speaker 4 Y'all broke. Y'all broke.

Speaker 1 Fuck y'all. His ankles were...
They could use some lotions.

Speaker 3 Yeah, a little bit.

Speaker 1 My cool throne in AWLs.

Speaker 3 Black Friday, if you're listening to this, it's Wednesday. Tomorrow's Thanksgiving.
Black Friday is Thanksgiving Eve, 12 o'clock.

Speaker 3 We have like, I feel like the most new PMT merch we've ever really had on a Black Friday. There's a lot of new stuff.
Get all your Christmas shopping done.

Speaker 3 We got ornaments, car stick ornaments, and I think we're bringing out the car sticks, a limited amount of them.

Speaker 1 Ooh,

Speaker 3 got a bunch of new hoodies.

Speaker 1 I have a bunch of new hats.

Speaker 4 I'm a new AWL. Yeah, you are.
What is a car stick?

Speaker 3 It's an invention I invented in 2016.

Speaker 3 It took a long time to develop the prototype of the stick. It takes a long time to build them.

Speaker 3 There's a lot of resources involved, a lot of manual labor so we came out with like a few hundred a few years ago we've been in the factories working we've made another like few hundred so we're gonna put those on sale limited time only if you want one you got to get one it's probably changed your life that's what most people have said to me that have bought one

Speaker 3 but hank i have a question what is a car stick it's a stick for your car for when stuck it's stuck in the side of your seat yeah so like

Speaker 4 is it some kind of crazy like device you created i don't know if you heard this big cat they've been in the factories in the mines producing these non-stop the last one.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, we had to chop down the tree, we had to sand them out, make sure everything's right

Speaker 1 on the weekends.

Speaker 3 But if you get something stuck, I don't know if you can see me, you get something stuck in your seat, you just take this

Speaker 3 car stick,

Speaker 3 you put it down in the crack, and then you can, like, it's a hockey stick, you know?

Speaker 1 Oh, damn.

Speaker 4 Do you have a patent for it?

Speaker 3 Yeah, multiple.

Speaker 1 That's awesome. Good job, Hank.

Speaker 3 For the bottom and the top.

Speaker 1 One of the greatest inventions of all time. I appreciate that.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, again, a lot of hard work goes into these.

Speaker 3 It's just a fine piece of material. We also made mini car stick ornaments.
So

Speaker 3 that's just one of the many things on sale, too.

Speaker 4 Can you use like a mini car stick if you have a power wheel?

Speaker 1 Ooh. Yeah, you can.

Speaker 1 I like that. The mini car stick.
Maybe if you have, or like you have something stuck in your pocket, you can also, you know, you can always call it travel size.

Speaker 3 Put these on a chain and wear it out.

Speaker 1 Oh. Could be useful.

Speaker 4 Our earrings.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I would say 100 out of 100 times you put that on your keys, someone's going to try to fuck you at a bar. They see that car stick? They're like, oh, I didn't know you got down.

Speaker 1 It's basically a black card.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You're like, oh, oh, my God.

Speaker 4 Could that stick be used to dip into a substance?

Speaker 3 Well, like fun dip? Yeah, like fun dip.

Speaker 1 Fun dip.

Speaker 1 Dungaroos.

Speaker 1 Yeah. For sure.

Speaker 3 Again, we have a lot of patents. There's a lot of uses for it.

Speaker 3 So check them out. Black sticks.

Speaker 4 It's really the Swiss Army knife.

Speaker 3 Listen, I was trying to talk about the other merch you guys got me going on Carsticks.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of

Speaker 3 good stuff, too.

Speaker 1 I'll forever love the Carstick.

Speaker 4 The merch is so good. Three of us are currently wearing the exact same sweatshirt, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's true. Legends hoodies, pardon my take, my favorite hoodies, great hats.
Awesome stuff. Coming Black Friday, Cyber Monday.
All right, PFT, your hot seat, Cool Throne. And PFT's book.

Speaker 4 Oh, and my book. And the audiobook.
The book is a lot of buzz out there about Goodell versus Obama right now. People are, the boys are buzzing about it.

Speaker 4 Again, it's going to be on sale on Friday, right, Hank? Yes. Thursday night, midnight.
We just finished the last edits on them. It was funny.

Speaker 4 Hank was texting me last night and he was sending me messages from his iMessage. And for some reason, my phone thought that Hank was Roger Goodell.
Huh.

Speaker 4 You know how sometimes your phone will be like, maybe, and then who do they think it is? I was getting texts from that said, maybe from Roger Goodell. I was just, I was so excited.
It was an honor.

Speaker 4 My hot seat is us.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 4 We're on the hot seat, boys, because

Speaker 4 we got nominated for an iHeart Radio Podcast Award.

Speaker 4 Did a little research on it because I recall being nominated for this every single year. Never recall winning one.
And honestly, like, who cares?

Speaker 4 It's just basically a bunch of people jacking each other off in a room. Yep.
And they always invite us to go. And we're like, no, no, thank you.
That's okay.

Speaker 4 We don't need to be there.

Speaker 4 I did some research on it. We've been nominated more than any podcast in the history of this awards awards show.

Speaker 4 And we've never, we're the only one that hasn't won. I love it.
By a wide margin. Like, I think we have three more nominations.
They've only been doing this since like 2016, 2015.

Speaker 4 We have three more nominations than anybody else in any category. And we're the only one that hasn't won.

Speaker 1 I hope that we.

Speaker 3 But I bet you all the people that have won have been like, we're going to show up because they just want to, you know, stroke themselves off. I'm sure if we said we're going to go, we would.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Every time they ask if we want to go, we're like, no, thank you.

Speaker 4 We're like, fuck you. Right.
We're actively like, suck my dick.

Speaker 1 No. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Like, if we said yes, I bet you they would give it to us because we give a speech and shit.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 So I looked up what the what the other sports podcasts were that we're competing against this year, and it's, you know, some of the usuals that we, I think some of them have won in the past, but it's all people that, in my opinion, we should beat.

Speaker 4 Right.

Speaker 4 And then there's another one, which is a podcast.

Speaker 4 Limited time run about the importance of women in the Summer Olympics competing for Team USA and how courageous they've been. So we're fucked.
So we're not winning again. We're out.

Speaker 4 So we're out again this year. Good run, boys.
Maybe next year, iHeartRadio, if you guys are still a company.

Speaker 1 Back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances.

Speaker 4 We'll be around. Yep.
We're really the Tom Izzo.

Speaker 1 We're the Gonzaga. Never got to the Final Four.
That's right. Yeah.

Speaker 4 And then my Cool Throne, I'll just say it's Christmas trees. Cool Throne's Christmas trees.
We're back, bitches. Frasier furs on sale at your local Christmas tree lot.
Go check it out.

Speaker 4 Consult your local Christmas tree salesman today. Get a Fraser fur somewhere between six and and eight feet, depending on how tall your ceiling is.

Speaker 4 The Cadillac of Christmas trees. Enjoy.
Best time of the year.

Speaker 1 Okay, my hot seats is fashion because Kyle Kuzma changed the world with his sweater on Monday night that took the internet by storm. If you didn't see it, just Google Kyle Kuzma sweater.
It is,

Speaker 1 I think he's trolling because he seems like a guy with a good sense of humor. And I hope that more guys in the NBA do this because he gets everyone upset and everyone's like, it's gone too far.

Speaker 1 It was such a ridiculous garment of clothing. I loved it so, so much.
It worked.

Speaker 4 We're talking about it right now.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 That's all he had to do. It was one of those things that once it hit the internet, everyone talked about it and it was just very, very funny.

Speaker 4 Do you remember back in like 2017 when wearing those knit pussy hats was like a thing that people did all the time for some reason? Yes. It looked like he's wearing a giant knit pussy sweater.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's the Lenny Kravitz big scarf, too. Yeah.
Yeah. It was very fashionable.

Speaker 4 Jinko sweater. The most ridiculous part was he had these giant sleeves, and then at one point he had to use a door handle, which he had to take

Speaker 4 his hands out of those giant sleeves, and you could just tell he felt ridiculous.

Speaker 1 That's amazing.

Speaker 4 You have to take your shirt off to open a door.

Speaker 1 I love it. I love it.
And then my cool throne

Speaker 1 is

Speaker 1 LeBron James because he basically owns the NBA, which we already knew. But the fact that he got suspended one game for assault is fucking ridiculous.

Speaker 3 And the other guy could spend it two and find $900,000.

Speaker 1 Listen. That's not like.

Speaker 3 Obviously, they get paid a lot of money, but $900,000 is a lot.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 listen, I know I'm biased. LeBron haters.

Speaker 1 He looked him dead in the eye and then punched him in the face. Yes.
Like, if you watched the replay, he knew exactly what he was doing.

Speaker 4 Just think about if it was reversed.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Let's do a thought experience.

Speaker 4 If LeBron James got punched in the face.

Speaker 3 It was bleeding like that.

Speaker 4 He'd still be on the ground.

Speaker 1 True. True.

Speaker 4 Good point. He'd probably just pretend that he was dead.
He'd fake his own death.

Speaker 4 And then come back three days later and be like, I'm back, guys, but it's now me, ghost LeBron.

Speaker 1 Look at me, succession music. He'd be have Russell Wilson, Dead King.

Speaker 4 He would definitely pretend that he died and came back.

Speaker 1 Yes. But that was watching that replay is ridiculous.

Speaker 4 They said he was washed, Dead King.

Speaker 1 He's back. And then he would write a letter from Dead LeBron to the live LeBron.
A live LeBron. A live young guy.

Speaker 4 But you never thought that you'd be able to come back from the dead.

Speaker 1 Man, that was crazy. Just a kid from Akron.
Then you're dead. A few weeks ago, I thought I was dead.
And I was.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, he should.

Speaker 4 If it was LeBron that got hit, you can rest assured that the other guy would be suspended for like seven, eight games. Maybe the rest of the game was.
70?

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 I think it's just more outrageous that the other guy got suspended longer. Yes.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 3 at least give LeBron three games and the other guy two games. Yes.

Speaker 1 Ray Rice got suspended longer. Disgusting.
Then LeBron. Yeah.
Think about that.

Speaker 4 Wow. Twice as long.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That didn't actually work.

Speaker 4 No, it didn't. It's actually the opposite.
It's the opposite.

Speaker 1 Whoops. Yeah.
No, that guy got suspended as long as Ray Rice. Yeah, for getting hit in the face.
Yes, for getting hit in the face. That's bullshit.
Yep. That's bullshit.

Speaker 1 All right, Billy.

Speaker 4 My hot seat are fans. Seth Rollins was leaving the ring in a recent WWE match, and a fan out of nowhere just straight up speared him.

Speaker 1 And it was a whole scene.

Speaker 4 No one knew if it was, you know, actually included in WWE, but it was totally off script. Random fan just ran, speared Seth Rollins.
It's an insane video.

Speaker 1 Sounds like a work.

Speaker 1 It's impossible to know. It's not.

Speaker 1 I think it was a fan actually acting rogue, but that's the beauty of wrestling. I watched it and was like, maybe that was all planned.

Speaker 4 It's not wrestling, big guy. It's entertainment.
That's true. And you're not allowed to use a W word.
Seth Rollins didn't break character. He actually started talking shit to the fan.

Speaker 4 It was actually crazy.

Speaker 1 I say work.

Speaker 4 I disagree, Billy. I think that he did break character.
I think he got hit. He got knocked down.
He was a little bit embarrassed because the dude ended up getting on top of him.

Speaker 4 And then the refs came in, beat the shit out of the guy, and kicked him off. Then Rollins stood up and was like, he was mad.
He was like, he was triggered is what he was.

Speaker 4 He was like, if it was a work, he definitely would have been cooler with how mad he was. Like, he would have had some cool things to say to the guy.

Speaker 4 He would have gestured more emphatically at him, but he was just, he was mad.

Speaker 1 Yes, absolutely. Guy came out of nowhere.
He did. It was,

Speaker 1 yeah, I still, I watched it a million times. Just couldn't figure it out.
Could not figure it out.

Speaker 1 And then your cool throne.

Speaker 4 My cool throne is Michael Strahan. He's going to space.

Speaker 1 For real?

Speaker 4 Just air between his front teeth.

Speaker 1 Oh, there we go.

Speaker 4 He's just the tip. Another fraud space flight by Blue.
Whatever.

Speaker 1 Sick of it.

Speaker 4 And then also, there's an amazing NIL commercial, so Cool Throne NIL commercials with Josh Pascal of Kentucky. Hilarious.
Check it out. He's doing a dentist commercial, and it's amazing.

Speaker 1 okay um

Speaker 1 jake

Speaker 6 my hot seat's the dollar store they announced next year majority of items dollar 25.

Speaker 4 whoa the dollar store as you know it is done sad inflation are they allowed to are they allowed to keep the name it's still dollar tree i think but it should be dollar 25 tree yeah yeah it should be i've got an idea open a store right next to dollar stores called the dollar store but sell things for a dollar 70 75 cents put them out of business yeah neighbors out i like that and then uh cool throne some things trey mancini comeback player of the year after beating cancer yes great way to send you into the holiday weekend yes you deserve

Speaker 1 big ben didn't big ben no i think

Speaker 1 mlb i think oh yeah big ben was up for that one too right

Speaker 1 so they did it after the year i know someone sent me uh big ben post covet games and he's like seven touchdowns zero interceptions

Speaker 4 he probably has never had covet big ben should be like forget about comeback player of the year that's small potatoes. We're talking Walter Payton Man of the Year season for Big Ben this year.

Speaker 4 That would be incredible, wouldn't it?

Speaker 4 I actually think that if Big Ben wins Walter Payton Man of the Year, he's going to come back next year just so that he can play for a season with that with the silhouette

Speaker 4 with a patch on his jersey and so he can show his kids.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 4 Just please, let's get the conversation going. Big Ben hasn't been accused of sexual assault in like nine years.
What else do you want from the guy?

Speaker 1 It's been a long time.

Speaker 1 All right, we're going to do Frank Gore. If you have have to work on Friday, listen to Frank Gore and then stop.
We will do our Sunday preview after that and then the Bella Twins to end the show.

Speaker 1 So we're leaving you a spot if you have to work on Friday.

Speaker 1 If not, just listen to the whole thing and wait to see how ridiculous our picks are going to be and how stupid we are.

Speaker 1 But before we get to Frank Gore, PFT, you had a quick word from one of our sponsors. Yep.
What's up, guys? It's Big Cat here making my Irish entrance. with proper number 12 Irish whiskey.

Speaker 1 How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask? It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 1 Original Proper Number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt, aged four years in bourbon barrels. Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 1 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish Apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 1 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 4 Here's Frank Gore.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, future Hall of Famer. Appreciate that.
Frank Gore. Appreciate that.
I mean, you're going to be in the Hall of Fame, right? You better be. Thank you.

Speaker 1 You deserve to be in the Hampshire.

Speaker 7 Put it out there. Tell him.
I better be.

Speaker 1 Yes, you better be in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 4 I heard Chris Sims talking that bullshit.

Speaker 7 Nah, that's my man right now.

Speaker 1 We talked about some mean tasks. What did he say?

Speaker 7 Nah, we talked about it. We talked about it.

Speaker 1 That's my man right now we good we good so you uh many many times uh

Speaker 1 or sorry you won a national championship you were in the nfl for how many years is it officially 14 16 years 16 years but you're not retired yet right not retired

Speaker 1 boxing now yep december 18th december 18th tampa be there

Speaker 7 i'm starting the pay-per-view off uh me against dan williams um i'm excited about it and you know i'm going trying to do my thing now is uh your boxing a basketball player?

Speaker 1 Is there a level where you're like, I'm just way tougher than you because I've been through it?

Speaker 7 I can't look at him just as a basketball player. Even though, you know, he played as a high level.
He did a great job playing basketball. But, you know, he also did MMA.
And

Speaker 7 that's why when I'm training, I'm thinking about his MMA background. So I know he got some type of toughness in him, and I know he's going to try to come bring it.
And I got to be ready.

Speaker 4 Just from my point of view, if you're a running back that's played so many seasons in the NFL, you know how to get hit. It's not going to phase you.

Speaker 1 But it's different.

Speaker 7 It's different. You know, me playing NFL, that was my sport.
So I know how to get away from hits.

Speaker 7 I know to, you know, like, even when I'm in the holes, like running through the holes, like, I know to like maneuver and play off angles. And now, you know, it's a new sport.
I'm learning.

Speaker 7 And, you know, if he, you know, I got to see, you know, Neither a one-two, I got to be able to shift it, you know, miss it.

Speaker 4 Make him miss. When was the last time you were actually in a fight?

Speaker 7 Saturday. I was sparring Saturday.
And it was, you know, some good sparring.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 7 So, you know, I'll be ready.

Speaker 1 I mean, your toughness can never be questioned. So you hold the NFL record for most games played by a running back, which is incredible, especially in today's NFL.

Speaker 1 What, like, towards, now I don't know how to say this because you aren't officially retired.

Speaker 1 The back half of your career, which maybe even is, hasn't even started yet, if you want to go from that,

Speaker 1 when we get to an NFL where it feels like the running back position is so interchangeable, but

Speaker 1 you persist.

Speaker 1 I mean, how are you able to do that?

Speaker 7 For me, loving the game, for me, working my behind off.

Speaker 7 For me, if I say I'm going to do it, I'm going to give it my all.

Speaker 7 I didn't care how old I was. You know, when they say, oh, you touch, you get 28, 29 as a running back.
That's old. I never never cared about that.

Speaker 7 So I always attacked my off-season workout, like I always attacked it when I first came in the NFL. And that's why I was able to keep going.

Speaker 4 Yeah, when they first announced that Derrick Henry was going to need foot surgery and that he was going to be out for a while, the very first thing I did was I said they should sign Frank Gore.

Speaker 4 Frank Gore should be a Tennessee Titan right now. The NFL is more fun when you're in it, when you got Gore running through the backfield.
Did Vrabel give you a call?

Speaker 7 No, but I had like three teams who called.

Speaker 7 I just didn't want to do it at the time.

Speaker 7 But I know I still can play the game. I was just focusing on

Speaker 7 being around my kids, going to see my kids play football. And

Speaker 7 I just saw how much time I miss out of their life.

Speaker 7 And I felt like I played 16 years.

Speaker 7 And I also started boxing, been around boxing. It kind of kept me okay.

Speaker 7 You know, like the competing and stuff. So I was fine being around around my kids, going to their practice, going to see my son play on Saturdays, and I was enjoying life.
Gotcha.

Speaker 1 So you played for five different teams, a bunch of different coaches. Who was your favorite coach, and why was it Jim Harbaugh?

Speaker 7 Well, I like all my coaches.

Speaker 1 But Jim Harbaugh.

Speaker 7 Jim Harbaugh was a...

Speaker 1 Can you cuss here? Hell yeah. Okay.
Say whatever the fuck you want. Okay.

Speaker 7 Coach Harbaugh was a badass man.

Speaker 7 You know, he was... all about football.

Speaker 7 If you're a pussy, he's not fucking with you.

Speaker 1 We're friends. We've had him on a a bunch of times.

Speaker 7 If you're a pussy, he's not fucking with you.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he almost stopped fucking with us at his golf tournament because we weren't good enough at sports.

Speaker 7 You got to be good in sports.

Speaker 7 If you're not good at sports, he don't want to hear nothing from you.

Speaker 1 You know what I'm saying? So

Speaker 1 in the NFL, though, there was always the thought that Jim Harbaugh would burn guys out because of that mentality.

Speaker 1 I like it. Yeah.
I like it.

Speaker 7 Because, you know,

Speaker 7 when he got there, we started winning games.

Speaker 7 We was the badasses in the nfl when he got there you know so

Speaker 7 you know it is his the way the way he was as a coach you know saying it rubbed off on us you know and it made the guys who who i probably thought wasn't the badass they became a badass you know what i'm saying because they knew if you if you're not a badass you couldn't be in our locker room yeah you know what i'm saying so Coach Harbaugh, he coming to the fight, too.

Speaker 7 He called me last week to make sure I'm

Speaker 7 called me. Him and his dad coming.

Speaker 4 I can't wait to see that.

Speaker 1 That's amazing.

Speaker 1 Were you?

Speaker 7 I got to tell my boy Malki, I got to make sure Coach Harbaugh gets taken care of.

Speaker 1 Yes, he's got to get taken care of. He's got to be front row.

Speaker 1 Were you on the field when he had his little doot-to-do with Jim Schwartz? Yeah, I was there. That was one of my favorites.
And that's why we were, I'm very good friends with Bobby Lang,

Speaker 1 who used to be the PR guy for the Niners.

Speaker 1 Yeah, now with the Eagles.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was the best. He broke that thing up.
But that was always Harbaugh. Like, he's going to...
So you get in in the locker room. That's what I love about it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So you get in the locker room after that. Are you guys like, yo, coach, what the hell was that? We like it.

Speaker 7 You know,

Speaker 7 when you football players, you badasses. You know what I'm saying? And you see our head coach, and that's why we was badasses on the field.
Like, we was like one of the toughest teams at that time.

Speaker 7 You know, we knew that going into the game, we were going to out-physical the next team, the other side of the ball. Like, bro, I remember one time in

Speaker 7 the playoff, we playing Carolina. And in in the playoff, when we played them there, 2013, man, I mean, they came out fucking hidden.
So we like, okay, they're trying to match us. I said, but hey,

Speaker 7 they not like us, man. This is what we do.
They're trying to be us. So as the game kept going, we kept punching the ass in the mouth, and we fucking killed them.

Speaker 1 And you could tell, like, could you tell the exact moment where it's like, no, they don't want this?

Speaker 7 Yeah, yeah. You know, they came out hyped up, you know, but, you know, we just kept being us, man.
We punched the ass in the mouth. We fucking blew them out.

Speaker 1 I love it. This is getting me fired up because there is something about a team when you're watching this, if you're rooting for a team that's just more physical than the opponent.

Speaker 4 And you guys would fuck up the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs. Those two butt-whooping shit.

Speaker 1 But they weren't physical enough. Yes, soft.

Speaker 4 I was going to ask you about that because those two games, those back-to-back years, right? When you had Cap playing quarterback?

Speaker 7 We beat them once. The first game, we beat them with Alice Smith up there in the first game.
Yep. We beat him, we fucking killed him.
Yeah. And then the second, that one Alice got hurt.

Speaker 7 That one Cap came in and we bleed them in a playoff when they came to us. Then a year after we played in the first game, we blew them out again.
It's just that the mindset we had, like,

Speaker 7 we just felt like nobody wasn't going to be tougher than us. You know, we had good coaches,

Speaker 7 and they did a great job by working together to put us in great situations. But our mindset comes from Coach Harbor, how he was.

Speaker 4 Yeah, in that last game where you guys really kicked the shit out of him,

Speaker 4 would that be more of a clowning or would that be a whooping or a whooping or a beatdown? What's the other option?

Speaker 4 We've been debating this on the show a lot. What? Shit pumping.
Shit pumping. It's shit pumping, a clowning, a whooping.

Speaker 7 Whoopin'.

Speaker 1 You whooping. That was a whooping.
That was a whooping.

Speaker 4 You guys out-physical them for sure.

Speaker 4 One of my favorite things to do is to just look back and think back about some of the teams that you actually played on the early 2000s University of Miami teams.

Speaker 4 And if you just look at the roster of guys.

Speaker 1 2001. 2001 insane.

Speaker 4 It is crazy. I actually think that.

Speaker 7 the that was

Speaker 7 that was one of the best team ever man i think

Speaker 7 and that's why i say like that's when i tell people it helped me to be who i am and playing ball but going to university miami at that time because man

Speaker 7 if you ain't on your if you ain't on your shit bro you can get lost in the system because everybody good there and i'm saying like you had to You had to go to class.

Speaker 7 You had to fucking be a workout on time.

Speaker 7 Practice, man everybody hey if you're not on it man you're gonna get knocked out out there you know you got sean t you got vince wolf or you got vimo you got dj williams you bro my freshman year when i played other opponents i thought college football was easy yeah because the game felt so slow bro it was so slow because pratton was so fast like bro i remember when i first signed there

Speaker 7 And, you know, you go there in the summer, in the summertime, and we doing drills. I mean, fuck.
God bless his soul. I'm going against

Speaker 7 Chris Campbell.

Speaker 7 God bless him. We doing drills, bro.
He fucking killing me. I'm like, oh, shit, I think I signed to the wrong school.
He was so fast, man.

Speaker 7 But just that, at that time, bro, we was fucking rolling, man.

Speaker 4 If you look at the running backs on that team, it was me. Flynn Portis, McGahy, Frank Gore, and then RJ, Payton.

Speaker 4 And you mentioned Sean Taylor, who was the all-state running back of the year in Florida, right? And they moved him to safety. Safety.
Did he ever want to play?

Speaker 4 Did he ever get into rotation running back?

Speaker 7 Nah, he didn't ever want to play but i've been knowing sean since like little league you know in miami you know we all know each other about playing part one and stuff so i knew about sean um but me

Speaker 7 sean probably

Speaker 7 one of the best football players i've ever been around man yeah he's about i know i've been real bro like sean could play any position on the football field like running back receiver linebacker safety corner anything you put him and he gonna be he's gonna be fucking real good at it.

Speaker 7 And that's my brother, man. I love him.

Speaker 7 But yeah, he was a bowler.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, that team is just, we didn't even mention Ed Reed.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 It's great. That's how good the team was, though.
Maybe the best player on the entire team.

Speaker 1 Do you guys get back together and do you talk about like, holy shit, this team, I mean, I don't know. I'd have to count who is going to be in the Hall of Fame.
You're going to be in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 Ed Reid's already in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 7 We got Andre Johnson.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Andre Johnson. We got Will Fork will probably be in there.
We got who else?

Speaker 7 Let me see.

Speaker 1 But it's going to be a ton of Hall of Famers and also a ton of guys that played a long time in the NFL. It's really crazy to look back at.
I mean,

Speaker 1 I don't know. Who would you say was the best all-around football player on that team?

Speaker 7 I said it.

Speaker 1 Sean Taylor, yeah.

Speaker 7 I'm telling you, man, any position on a football field, bro, he can do it, man. And at a high level, I'm not just saying just put him there and hope he's okay.

Speaker 7 He's going to be the best at the position.

Speaker 4 Do you remember when you first heard the seventh floor crew?

Speaker 7 Oh, I was in the NFL at the time.

Speaker 1 Are you already?

Speaker 7 Yeah, but, you know.

Speaker 1 Greg Olson. Yeah, that was Frank.

Speaker 7 Yeah, that's my man, too. G-Ray.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 That was when Greg was young, man.

Speaker 1 Did you ever tell Ken Dorsey not to wear sleeves? Because those sleeves were... That was like the craziest part about

Speaker 7 the series was and stuff? Nah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like, Miami was the swaggiest team. All these fucking incredible dudes.

Speaker 1 Then Ken Dorsey would come out with these baggy ass sleeves and be like, come on, man well he'll ball out dude he did is is April 12th still Frank Gorday oh because I saw that the team my um the city

Speaker 4 yeah you got a key to the city of Miami which the keys probably been used for some crazy things

Speaker 4 but like if it's Frank Gorday one year do they have to repeat that every year right

Speaker 7 April 12th it's my day Frank Gorday yo that's my day that's got to be pretty cool getting a key to a city yeah I was that's a that's been a blessing man but you know know i've been i i did it the right way you know i i still go back to my community i help out i do um

Speaker 7 like i do little camps in the summer i also um about a duo i've been doing a toy giveaway on christmas to my neighborhood for kids i've been doing that for probably like 12 13 years um so my name good in the city man yeah and i'm i'm i'm I'm happy that they did give me the key to it.

Speaker 7 And I'm Miami all day.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Who's the guy who hit the absolute hardest? The guy that you knew that, like, oh, fuck, like, this Sunday, I'm Frank Gore. I'm tough, but this guy will.

Speaker 7 My mind never.

Speaker 1 Never?

Speaker 1 My mind.

Speaker 7 Only time my mind ever got like that when I was in high school was

Speaker 7 I was in the 10th grade and we played Killian High, man. And Sean Taylor was in the 10th grade, bro.
Man, he hit me one time, bro. I went under bleaches.

Speaker 7 So the next year, I didn't know he transferred. So, So, you know, before the game, I see a tall guy with his number.
So, I'm thinking, I'm like, damn, here you go, right there.

Speaker 7 You know, that was the only time I ever thought like that in football. Yeah, yeah, but I never think about, oh, this guy hit, so I'm, that just never was me.

Speaker 1 So, who was the hardest? What's the hardest hit that you ever got then?

Speaker 1 The one guy.

Speaker 7 Oh, I would say who brings it, who I respect, who played the game the right way? 31, Cam Chancellor.

Speaker 7 Yeah. Like, he was a baller, bro.
He set him, Bobby Wagner.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 7 them boys, they played the football. They played football the right way.

Speaker 1 Those are some awesome games, too. Niners and Seahawks.
You guys played some legends.

Speaker 7 So I was like, when I went to the ALC soft, I was like, ooh, I was happy to get out of the NLC West.

Speaker 1 Yes. Boy,

Speaker 7 especially when we play Seattle. We used to be banging, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 I want to talk about the Super Bowl real quick. So you scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl.
Got 100 yards in the Super Bowl, right? Super Bowl champion.

Speaker 4 Excuse me, not a Super Bowl champion.

Speaker 4 My mistake, you were leading that.

Speaker 1 game. No, we were game.

Speaker 4 You got fucked. What I was going to say is, you got fucked in that game because the lights cut out at halftime.

Speaker 1 No, we were out there. No way.
They came back.

Speaker 7 It helped us. The lights went off, and we were getting killed.

Speaker 4 What did you do at halftime when the lights went out?

Speaker 7 We was on the sideline. We was just warming up and we all was talking.
Say, bro,

Speaker 7 we knew that we were a better team. We just were making a lot of mistakes early on.
We just told ourselves we had to settle down. And we settled down and we just

Speaker 7 came back. Then, you know, we got down to

Speaker 4 the last couple seconds.

Speaker 7 We just didn't run the ball. I felt like we would have run the ball.
I think we would have probably won.

Speaker 1 Damn. Damn.

Speaker 4 The Titans should sign you. And you should get that sign.

Speaker 1 They got my boy AP, man.

Speaker 7 I'm cool.

Speaker 7 I'm looking forward to December 18th, man, and I'm very excited.

Speaker 7 You know, I'm blessed. I want to say thanks to my man Malki for coming through for me because he said he will.

Speaker 7 You know, when I told him I wanted to fight, he wanted to make sure I was serious about it.

Speaker 7 But once he saw me serious, he got me a fight, and I'm just going to try to take advantage of it and have fun with it. Try to get a win, man.

Speaker 1 I had one last question. It's kind of an awkward question.
I don't really know how to ask it, but I'm going to ask it.

Speaker 1 And we'll see how this goes.

Speaker 1 You didn't wear... Were you wearing underwear when you played in the NFL?

Speaker 1 Let's start there, and we'll move from that and try to figure it out.

Speaker 7 I didn't like that.

Speaker 1 You have big fucking balls, dude. Like, actually, big balls that I've seen multiple times.
I don't like it. Because they would just be popping around in your pants.

Speaker 1 I don't like.

Speaker 1 All right, I just got rid of it. I said it.
I said it. I said it.

Speaker 1 It would have been more awkward if he didn't say the amount of time. People would be mad.

Speaker 1 If I did, I was talking about Frank Gordon. I didn't say.

Speaker 7 I didn't like wearing, like, I'd like to be loose, bro.

Speaker 1 Oh, I know. Very loose.
Do you want to see a tweet of mine from 2014? Nah,

Speaker 1 There it is.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 I mean, you did. You played loose, to put it that way.
Yeah, no, people

Speaker 1 are listening to this interview, and in the back of their head, they're like, when is Big Cat going to ask about Frank Gore's balls? So I did it. I did it.
And we're done with it.

Speaker 1 I feel good that it's been said.

Speaker 4 It would have been more awkward if he didn't play Rob.

Speaker 1 Trust me.

Speaker 4 He would have spent the next week talking about how he should have asked you about your nuts. That's cool.

Speaker 1 All All right, so in terms of Frank Gore records, is it the most starts as a running back, or is it the fact that you have 12 consecutive 1,200-yard season? Which ones are you more proud of?

Speaker 1 The running back one is nuts.

Speaker 7 Yeah, but...

Speaker 1 241

Speaker 1 games played.

Speaker 7 I like, man, I'm blessed with all my comforts, man, because...

Speaker 7 What I had to deal with to get to the NFL, man, was tough, bro. You know,

Speaker 7 you got to understand, I go to Miami at the time you play as a freshman you're a badass you know I play

Speaker 7 you know I'm saying I come back thinking you know I'm about to be the man because Porter just leave you know I tear my knee up boom

Speaker 7 okay

Speaker 7 he go off he go to the NFL I get back

Speaker 7 you know and I go ball first five six games I tell my knee up again now you know now it's like wow what's next you know after two after at the one pro people don't make it back then you get two

Speaker 7 then

Speaker 7 definitely everybody say I'm done I'm done and

Speaker 7 for me to overcome that man and

Speaker 7 you know keep working and you know and get into the NFL and do what I and do what I did man I'm blessed and I'm happy about all of them because man it wasn't it wasn't it one it wasn't hard it was it was hard to get there man so

Speaker 7 I'm happy about all the most games a lot of people say I was I was injury prone say I won't play three years because my injuries.

Speaker 7 I'm happy about about the,

Speaker 7 how many yards again? 12, 12.

Speaker 1 10 seasons of 1,200 yards or more.

Speaker 7 I'm happy about that because it lets you know I've been consistent for a long time. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It is crazy looking at your career and seeing that.

Speaker 7 People still try to knock me, man.

Speaker 1 No, that's stupid.

Speaker 4 You point them to us.

Speaker 1 I think you're going to actually. We'll fuck them up.
We'll shit pump them up.

Speaker 1 And I think you're going to have one of those legacies where people in like 20 years will say the name Frank Gore and like real football fans will be like, oh, fuck yeah, he was.

Speaker 7 Like if you go, if you go to a coordinator defensive coordinator man

Speaker 7 even when I was in fucking

Speaker 7 30 or my last year in fucking New York Jets bro they was coming to stop me bro you know what I'm saying like they'll tell me like bro how the fuck you still can play you know what I'm saying

Speaker 7 and and that's why I don't care about the outside world who really don't understand the game and know what it takes and

Speaker 4 and know like bro like man I was a bad motherfucker bro yeah do you still have the You got the necklace with the stop sign on it that says gore?

Speaker 7 Nah, I got, um,

Speaker 7 nah, I don't, I'm done with that.

Speaker 4 That's, that was a good necklace, though.

Speaker 7 The rose gold, yeah. Stop signs say gore, yeah.

Speaker 4 And so, why did you go?

Speaker 1 I had that in college.

Speaker 4 I had that in college. Why did the stop sign say gore?

Speaker 7 You know, I don't know. I just, you know, at the time.
You know why?

Speaker 1 Uh-huh.

Speaker 4 Because motherfuckers can't stop gore, right?

Speaker 1 Right, right, buddy. But that's, that's what you should tell everybody.

Speaker 1 No, it's crazy, though, man.

Speaker 7 It's crazy, man. I got that in college, boy.
Shout out to my boy Marky. You know, you, you,

Speaker 1 It's nuts looking. There was a 13-year stretch there where

Speaker 1 12 out of 13 years, you started 14 or more games. Like, it's crazy.
That's for a running back.

Speaker 1 Hard work. Yeah.
Hard working God, man.

Speaker 7 You know, man.

Speaker 7 I'm going to be real, man. Like, after

Speaker 7 when I had success in...

Speaker 7 In college and me being around Porter Stem and seeing what they was doing in the league, I'm being real.

Speaker 7 I used to look ahead, oh man, if Porter's gonna do this, oh, no, you know what I'm saying, I can't wait instead of just focusing on the day, yeah, focusing on where I'm at at the time.

Speaker 7 So, I would always just look ahead, I'm ready to get to the NFL, you know, but it wasn't my time, yeah. That's why I had to start thinking about the day instead of

Speaker 7 the future, you know what I'm saying? And this, and

Speaker 7 it started helping me out, man. And just

Speaker 7 now, I just man, every time I used to get on the field, man, I just bust my ass. Like, it's like it might be my last.

Speaker 7 And I've been blessed 16 years in the NFL, man. Have a great career.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 1 I had one last question.

Speaker 4 I was just going to ask about your time in Miami when you played there in the NFL.

Speaker 7 Oh, I love that.

Speaker 4 And so Adam Gace was your coach there.

Speaker 1 I was actually talking.

Speaker 7 Shout out to Adol. That's my dog.
I know a lot of people.

Speaker 1 That's rare. That's a rare

Speaker 1 dog.

Speaker 7 I've been known for, you know, since 2007, 2008.

Speaker 4 So I was talking to Arian Foster yesterday. He does a show here at Barstool.

Speaker 4 And so I was asking about Adam Gace, and he was saying that Adam Gace was actually one of his favorite offensive coaches to play for.

Speaker 4 The only weird thing about him was he just used to always talk about Jay Cutler. When even like Jay's not around, he would just always talk about

Speaker 4 how great Jay Cutler was. Did he ever just talk to you? Was he ever like, hey, man, you remember Jay Cutler?

Speaker 7 Nah, he didn't.

Speaker 1 Nah.

Speaker 7 Nah, we just talk about when he was with us in San Fran, you know, helping out and stuff. And that's my dog, though.
You know, I know a lot of people be dogging him, but, you know,

Speaker 7 I think he, you know, if he gets another shot, he'll probably do better, man. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, I have one last question.

Speaker 8 I'm not going back to college to be your friend. I'm going so I can get Uber One for students.

Speaker 1 It saves you on Uber and Uber Eats.

Speaker 8 I'm there for $0 delivery fee on cheeseburgers, up to 10% off smoothies, and 6% Uber credits back on rides.

Speaker 1 Just to be clear, I'm there for savings, not whatever you think college is for.

Speaker 9 Get Uber One for students. A membership to save on Uber and Uber Eats.
With deals this good, everyone wants to be a student. Join for just $4.99 a month.
Savings may vary.

Speaker 9 Eligibility and member terms apply.

Speaker 1 Deron Williams versus Frank Gore. Are you going to predict first-round knockout?

Speaker 7 Nah, I'm just...

Speaker 7 I'm going to go in there and try to, you know, I'm going to try to do what my coach say.

Speaker 7 You know, because, you know, we didn't see film on him, so we got to see

Speaker 7 what type of movement, what type of style he is. Then, you know, I go from there.
If it come, it come.

Speaker 1 You know, I want

Speaker 7 my best, I'm going to get the win. I'm going to try to get the win my best.
I'm going to get the win. But I want people to be like, man, this kid, Frank Gore, this guy got skills.

Speaker 7 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 All right, so my last question. What's the weirdest

Speaker 1 Jim Harbaugh story or motivation thing he tried to do with the team? I mean, we've heard a bunch of them. He's the best.

Speaker 7 No, it was the funniest, man. Oh, my God.

Speaker 7 You know, like, you know, when you win, you play, like, before the games, you play like the highlights. So, bro,

Speaker 7 so he'll go to high schools. Then he got so crazy, he started getting the guys who worked for the teams.
So I don't know how he was finding them.

Speaker 7 And he was getting the guys who, like, our Sprint coach when they was in high school. You know, you get some coaches, swear to God, it was a badass, right?

Speaker 7 Man, he put one of our coaches up there getting his ass killed on the field.

Speaker 7 Man, it was still,

Speaker 7 I won't put the name out because that's my boy.

Speaker 1 It better not be Jim Tom Super.

Speaker 3 Nah, nah, nah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Nah, nah.
That's my boy.

Speaker 7 Nah, nah, nah. But hey, man, that shit was, he had a whole...

Speaker 1 It was before, I think it was before the Green Bay playoff game, too. Did he ever, was there ever a moment where you were like,

Speaker 1 is he going to try to suit up and play quarterback? Oh, he did. Oh, not, not, not, but he used to be.
No, I know, I know, I know. He was prattling, bro.
Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 1 He would run every, he'd run the whole offense.

Speaker 7 Bro, he was prattin' like with the, with the guys, man.

Speaker 1 With pads on everything?

Speaker 7 Yes, but he'll have on the shoulder pads and the helmet

Speaker 7 with his dickies on and stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's fucking perfect.

Speaker 4 He used to always wear cleats and his khakis.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Walking around.
Dog,

Speaker 7 And he's very competitive, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yes, bro.

Speaker 1 He would run the offense. I'm telling you.

Speaker 1 How was he?

Speaker 1 You know.

Speaker 1 He had his day.

Speaker 1 In his head, he's definitely like, I could still be out there and sling it.

Speaker 4 The real question is: did he put a red jersey on himself, or was he like, if you get to me, you can hit me?

Speaker 7 Nah, he had a red jersey.

Speaker 1 Oh, no.

Speaker 7 Nah, but Coach Hardball, my man. Yeah, man.

Speaker 1 We love him, man.

Speaker 7 He's coming to the fight, so I got to tell my boy Mark, he got to try to take care of my man.

Speaker 1 Hell yes. all right well frank gore thank you sorry i had to ask the balls question but

Speaker 1 What a fucking shit show. All right.

Speaker 1 Let's do some picks. Let's talk about it.
I predicted a bloodbath. I had a bloodbath on Sunday.

Speaker 1 Jake, what are the records at?

Speaker 6 So right now, Hank has a three and a half game lead on Billy, who's now all by himself in the dangerous spot at second.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 6 PFT and Liam at 23 and 21, and you and I tied for last with a trip with Billy.

Speaker 1 Let's go.

Speaker 6 Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Rock, paper, scissor, shoot.

Speaker 1 All right, Jake and Billy. That would be great.
Hype. Fantastic.
Hype.

Speaker 4 And bonding.

Speaker 1 Yeah, big time bonding.

Speaker 1 Yeah, remember when you guys went out to dinner? Talk about your goals. Let's talk about your goals, your life goals.
Your life goals. That was a big goal.
We actually get along very well. I know.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 4 Billy. Can you just, can you,

Speaker 4 what's one life goal from Jake that you remember him talking about? He wants to announce a Sunday night football game.

Speaker 1 Wow. That's a big life goal.
That's huge.

Speaker 4 Jake, do you want to, is there anything you'd like to share with the class?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 Oh, I was going to save it for next week, but we can say it now.

Speaker 1 Why don't we just, because, you know, we're bad at planning things, so let's do it both. Let's say it now and next week.
Okay.

Speaker 6 So, next week, ESPN Plus, MAC doubleheader. Friday night, Ionov versus Ryder.
Sunday afternoon, Manhattan versus Quinnipiac. Back on the call.
First time doing basketball since pre-COVID.

Speaker 1 Very exciting.

Speaker 4 Jake Marsh on the plus. Oh, it's going to be great.

Speaker 1 We're all going to watch.

Speaker 4 Clap it up for Jake.

Speaker 1 Everyone better watch. Yeah.
And turn it on on all your streaming platforms so that we can get.

Speaker 6 Especially Sunday, right, during the witching hour.

Speaker 4 I know you guys will be watching.

Speaker 1 We will. We'll definitely have it on.

Speaker 1 We'll have it on something. Wait, what time is it on Sunday? 2 p.m.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'll be watching it. Yeah, definitely.
Do it on one of the TVs.

Speaker 4 Wait, is that the which game is that?

Speaker 1 Yeah, huh? Uh-huh. Yeah.
Manhattan Quinnipiac.

Speaker 6 Sunday, 2 p.m.

Speaker 1 Go Cats.

Speaker 1 Go Bobcats. Yeah.
I'm going to responsibly wager on both of those games. And Friday Friday night, Rick Petina.

Speaker 1 He never said anything bad about him. Exactly.

Speaker 4 But if you need some 10-second violation jokes to sprinkle in, I'm happy to provide those for you.

Speaker 1 We'll see.

Speaker 6 But yeah, if you can tune in, that would be great. If not,

Speaker 1 no, no, no, no. Post the highest.
Everyone fucking. If you're not, fuck you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you don't tune in,

Speaker 1 go fuck yourself. Yeah.
You're banned from the bottom. There you go.
You're banned from the podcast. You're fucking across.
Yes. Yes.
No, you're banned from the podcast. You're banned for life.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You're banned from life.

Speaker 6 Please tune in. Looking forward to getting the rep soon.

Speaker 1 Yes, it's going to be great. All right, let's do some picks.

Speaker 1 Let's start with our favorites. Favorite favorites, Hank.
Why don't you get it going?

Speaker 1 Hank's doing well. Hank's the sharpest in the offest.

Speaker 3 Yep, all my picks are hitting lately.

Speaker 4 How many games ahead?

Speaker 1 He's crushing it. Yeah, he's three and a half.
A man can't lose. A man cannot lose.

Speaker 3 I'm on fire.

Speaker 1 I might have to tank.

Speaker 4 Go back to tanking. I'm flying too close to the sun.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Are you in second place right now? Yeah.

Speaker 3 My favorite are the Bucs. Tom Terrific.

Speaker 3 Gronk being back is huge. You guys have been talking about Antonio Brown.
But from my experience, it always has been Gronk. It always will be Gronk.

Speaker 3 Him being back last night, you saw how much better they played.

Speaker 3 And yeah, I just think they're going to have a lot of rest, come out, beat the Colts handily.

Speaker 1 So that's Bucs at Colts. If the Colts win this game.

Speaker 3 It's Bucs two and a half at Colts, sorry.

Speaker 1 I will say,

Speaker 1 if if the Colts win this game, I am officially getting a little nervous about my pinky because that would be two very impressive wins in a row. Oh, they're your pinky team? Oh, wow.
They started 0-3.

Speaker 4 I would not be worried about the Colts long-term, but they're a tough enough team that they could...

Speaker 3 They're better than the Texans were that year, I think.

Speaker 1 The Texans rattled off nine wins, I think, in a row that year. But yeah, no, this is...

Speaker 1 I'm a little nervous. Let's just say that.

Speaker 4 If he doesn't play, then the Colts could win. If he does play, it's over.
Okay.

Speaker 7 Liam.

Speaker 1 I'm taking the Pats, minus six and a half. Okay.
I think they've been rolling and everything says the opposite, kind of the hungry dog runs faster with the Titans. Yeah.
So then I'm flipping that.

Speaker 1 I'm going to agree with you. I'm also on that.
I think that the Titans

Speaker 1 without Derrick Henry are a big-time problem. And I was thinking about it because obviously they beat the Rams on Sunday Night Football.
We all watched that.

Speaker 1 But then you remember that there were two pick sixes involved that greatly helped them. I think the Titans are in big time trouble without Derrick Henry.
And also, isn't A.J.

Speaker 1 Brown got hurt in the last game?

Speaker 1 We don't know, obviously. We're taping this on Tuesday, but they're pretty banged up offensively.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I mean, I don't know what to expect out of the Titans. I really don't, because when they play good teams, they're awesome.
Yep.

Speaker 4 And then when they play worse teams, they're actually worse than the worst teams are. So they're playing a good team, so I'm kind of inclined to think that they're going to be good against them.

Speaker 4 Awesome, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I am doing, I'm falling into the classic trap of disrespecting the titans yeah you are always fucks me you should remember the titans i should remember the titans all right uh your favorite uh my favorite is going to be the atlanta falcons minus five over the jacksonville jaguars

Speaker 1 this was wait is that the line i think this is minus 0.5 sorry minus half minus half that's

Speaker 4 minus 0.5 it's definitely not minus 5 but you love them at minus five i love that i would probably take them at minus five the jaguars opened up as one-point favorites the jaguars should not be a favorite against any team, in my opinion.

Speaker 4 But the Falcons are now favored on the road in Jacksonville. It's a short trip for them.
Florida, Georgia Lion game of minus a half a point. And fun stat, right now,

Speaker 4 all time in the NFL, bird teams against cat teams are exactly 500.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 4 I think it's 209 to 209 and one. They've tied one game.

Speaker 4 This is going to be the week that it swings in favor of the bird teams.

Speaker 1 Wow. That is a hell of a stat.
It is.

Speaker 1 And it's the only bird-cat matchup?

Speaker 4 As far as I know this week.

Speaker 4 I'm not a zookeeper, but I think so.

Speaker 1 By the way, I'm switching my pick. I'm taking the Washington football team minus one.
I just realized

Speaker 1 I'm doing exactly what I always say don't do, and that's disrespecting the Titans. I'm taking the Washington football team.
I'm done with the Seahawks.

Speaker 6 I see plus one.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 I'm looking at Washington. Yeah, plus one.
God damn it.

Speaker 4 Football teams, they're underdogs at home.

Speaker 1 All right, I'm sticking with the Patriots. Fuck.
All right, go ahead, Billy.

Speaker 4 I'm going with Bill's minus five and a half.

Speaker 1 Bills minus five. No, that's the Thursday.

Speaker 4 It's on Thursday? Yep. Thanksgiving, yeah.
We talked about it.

Speaker 4 That's okay. Well, we talked about it two days ago.

Speaker 1 That's actually great that you picked that because if they didn't cover, that's even better that people are listening right now on Friday.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 6 Or it's like a Back to the Future thing where he got the all the back and it's true.

Speaker 1 He knew it. That's true.

Speaker 4 Can I still count it?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 4 No. Who'd you go with?

Speaker 1 I went with the Patriots. Yeah, I'll take them.
Okay, so Billy's also on the Patriots.

Speaker 4 I don't think I don't like what Billy's doing right now.

Speaker 1 Isn't that like what he's doing? He's like the integrity of the competition.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's just picking things that other people pick, so he doesn't have to be able to do it.

Speaker 1 Billy, I'll give you a second. Jake, you do your pick.
Billy, look at the board again.

Speaker 6 I'm going with the Packers minus one at home against the Rams.

Speaker 1 Rogers, probably mad.

Speaker 6 Lost last week. Can't see him losing.

Speaker 1 Always mad. Because he's just a mad guy who can't find happiness.

Speaker 6 So minus one at home.

Speaker 1 Okay. Well, Billy, you have all the way till we come back to your underdog.
Okay, so I'm giving you the full turnaround. All right.
Go ahead, Hank.

Speaker 3 My underdog is the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 1 Okay. Ooh.
I have that too. Ooh,

Speaker 1 spicy.

Speaker 3 They got a lot of fight.

Speaker 1 Wait.

Speaker 1 Are you going to bet on them against the spread or money line? Money line, obviously.

Speaker 1 That's the thing.

Speaker 3 You guys, when you guys take an underdog and we talk about it,

Speaker 3 we're not going back to the passport. It's over.

Speaker 1 I'm taking the Steelers. We have to keep the pressure.
I'm taking the Steelers. I'm taking the Steelers.
Four and a half

Speaker 3 against the Bengals at the

Speaker 1 group bet on that?

Speaker 3 I know of loss between these two teams.

Speaker 1 I was actually rivalry week.

Speaker 4 I was looking at maybe doing an alternate spread, like Steelers minus three.

Speaker 1 That's a group bet. No, that's just for genius.

Speaker 1 Pat Fryer moved to score. Yeah.
Four touchdowns.

Speaker 3 Again,

Speaker 1 whatever. Whatever, whatever.

Speaker 3 Whatever. Whatever.

Speaker 4 Rank your top, rank the AFC North quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 3 Joe Burrow.

Speaker 1 Baker.

Speaker 4 Whoa. You didn't want to say Baker, but you did.

Speaker 3 Big Ben. No, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 1 Lamar.

Speaker 1 Lamar, Joe Burrow, Baker, Big Ben.

Speaker 1 Sorry about that. I would write Big Ben after COVID.
No, Big Ben sucks.

Speaker 4 I know. I would put Lamar with diarrhea ahead of Big Ben

Speaker 4 after COVID, and then Big Ben before COVID ahead of Lamar without diarrhea. Does that make sense? Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes. Okay.
Big Ben post-COVID is a monster. He is.
Very, very good.

Speaker 1 All right, Bubba, you're also taking the Steelers? Yep. Sounds like a group bet.

Speaker 1 Sounds like a fucking the makings of a group bet.

Speaker 4 Okay, I'm going to take the Washington football team. Oh, they're going to take the Steelers.
Nope.

Speaker 1 I'm also taking the Washington football team. God help me.
Fuck the Seahawks.

Speaker 4 God help me. I think that we're like one in 17 in Monday Night Football since 1998.

Speaker 1 Not a great record, admittedly. But

Speaker 4 what they don't tell you is that we beat the Steelers on a Monday night, but it just technically wasn't Monday Night Football. That's right.

Speaker 1 That's right.

Speaker 4 So, you know, fuck you, Calendar.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 4 I think I have to ride this football team. I think that they're playing really well, and I think that the Seahawks are just a miserable football team filled with

Speaker 4 has-bins and losers.

Speaker 1 The Seahawks are canceled until Russell Wilson proves that he's not injured. I'm done thinking that the medical miracle and all the hype videos.

Speaker 1 I'm sick of the Seahawks because they are a classic team that they've been good for so long that if I don't quit them cold turkey,

Speaker 1 they will just stick around in my head being like, well, they're good.

Speaker 4 They have to be good. It's important to know when to end this relationship.
And the Seahawks stink. And more so than the fact that they stink is that they're boring when they stink.

Speaker 4 And so I was actually thinking about going down to this game because when am I going to get another chance to see the football team play?

Speaker 4 Because it's a Monday night game. But then I was like, wait, why am I going to do that to myself? I hate watching the Seahawks on television.
It's probably way worse in person.

Speaker 4 And then I have to go to Landover. Excuse me, Ral John.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And also Cyber Monday.
That's really why you didn't go.

Speaker 4 And also Cyber Monday.

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 4 I knew that I had to be here.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But I wanted to be here.
Me just saying that right right now was just a reminder, but you already did. You didn't need a reminder.

Speaker 4 I wanted to be here. Yeah.
But I was being pulled away. But now it's good to just remind myself what's really important.
That's being here with you guys. Yes.

Speaker 1 Billy, your underdog and your favorite.

Speaker 4 So Jets plus two and a half for my underdog. Okay.

Speaker 1 And I'm going Falcons by minus a half point. I love it.

Speaker 4 Is my favorite. Minus the Jets.
Minus five.

Speaker 1 Minus.

Speaker 1 Minus. Minus point five.
Yeah. So how, okay, so that's a bird.

Speaker 3 Quick quiz, Billy. Do you know what PFT's favorite pick was?

Speaker 1 Yost took that? Yeah. Okay, perfect.

Speaker 1 And PFT's computer model has the Falcons up to, he would take them as a five-point favorite. Crazy.
That's how good his computer model is.

Speaker 4 No, it's a deep numbers. Yeah.
Just in my head, only the Cowboys and Lions can play on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 Yeah, adding the third game, yes. That's what we were thinking about.
I wish they had kept that as a rivalry, Egg Bowl, Texas, Texas AM. I agree with you.

Speaker 1 I don't add that, but that's also, that's the NFL. They just, if there's a slot, they're going to take it.
Yep. That's their, I think that's their motto right on the door.

Speaker 4 If I see a slit, I'm going to fill it. Yeah, slot.

Speaker 4 Let me put myself in it. I'm going to dive right in.

Speaker 1 All right, your underdog, Jake.

Speaker 6 I'm taking the Dolphins plus one and a half at home against the Panthers. Dolphins, 500 Christmas.

Speaker 1 See you there. Oh, Hank's deep numbers have

Speaker 1 just had a malfunction because he was like, how are the Dolphins

Speaker 1 plus one and a half against the Panthers? Hammer time, Hank.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I saw that face. That was the face of a guy who's like, what?

Speaker 4 I think I realize what a lot of people don't like about Tua.

Speaker 1 Oh, too tell me.

Speaker 4 Besides the fact that they don't watch the all-22. Yeah, I love him.

Speaker 4 His eye black is too big.

Speaker 4 His eye black is too big. And I don't, Billy, as a former college athlete, maybe you can tell me about how this affects a quarterback position.

Speaker 4 But I feel like if the eye black was too big, doesn't it just suck all the light in?

Speaker 1 Too much.

Speaker 4 It what? It might get into your eyes.

Speaker 1 The eye black might get into his eyes? No, but does he have the tape or does he have the actual eye?

Speaker 4 No, he does a he's cross-eyed. He does the giant crosses

Speaker 1 on each side.

Speaker 4 But I guess I'm always curious how eye black works because in my limited experience with iBlack, I can't really tell the difference between when I'm wearing it and when I'm not wearing it.

Speaker 4 I just I feel like it's the placebo effect sometimes. But then again, if it's real and you're like Tua with a shitload of eye black on, could you use too much? Would that affect you in a bad way?

Speaker 4 I actually don't get the science of eye black. I don't either.
It makes no sense.

Speaker 1 I think it just looks cool. Yeah.

Speaker 4 That's what I thought. I mean, I always wore it, so I don't know if it actually like there was a difference.
Did you do the actual eye black or did you do the like band-aid strips that you'd stick on?

Speaker 4 I use the actual eye black.

Speaker 1 Good.

Speaker 3 Is it like a positional thing? Like quarterbacks wear, tight ends don't wear it?

Speaker 4 No, like D-Linemen always just go nuts with it. Oh,

Speaker 1 like Lattimore in the program.

Speaker 4 Yeah, or like Justin Trudeau. Exactly.

Speaker 1 Yes, really go crazy with it.

Speaker 1 Got out of hand.

Speaker 4 He thought he had to go out there and

Speaker 1 fill in the A gap. The CFL's different.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Jake. You went with your underdog, Hank.
We're on the Overs.

Speaker 3 Or on the Overs.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is a weird slate because it's whenever we lose those three games on Thanksgiving, then you get to Sunday and you're like, wait, where are all the games?

Speaker 1 And there's a few really, really good games, then some really, really bad games.

Speaker 3 This is my, I don't understand why the line is so low, so I'm taking the over.

Speaker 3 If you, you know, anytime, any place in the last 10 years, if you said it's going to be Matt Stafford versus Aaron Rodgers, you're going to think it's going to be a lot of points.

Speaker 3 I would have said definitely more than 50 points. So the fact that the Rams and Packers is over 48 seems low to me.
So I'm taking it.

Speaker 1 I like it. Love it.

Speaker 4 That's, you know what you just did? You just used Billy's method.

Speaker 1 You did it Billy.

Speaker 4 That was Billy's method. That was genius.

Speaker 3 The Billy football. I mean, that's how it goes.

Speaker 1 Yes. All right.

Speaker 1 I'm excited for that game. I feel like.
Seems like a shootout, right? Also,

Speaker 1 we're going to find out if the

Speaker 1 Rams are really frauds or not. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because a quick reminder, the Rams won the week three Super Bowl against the Bucs, and then since then, they have not beaten any good teams. So,

Speaker 1 yeah, if they win this.

Speaker 1 Since they won the Week 3 Super Bowl, they beat the Seahawks, the Giants, the Lions, and the Texans. Those are some bad teams.
Those are four really bad teams.

Speaker 1 Liam, you're over. I'm doing Falcons Jags over 46.5.

Speaker 1 Incredible. It's kind of close.

Speaker 1 Do you think it's going to be a bird or a cat?

Speaker 1 It's an all-time question.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 Wait, what is it? Bird or cat. Bird or cat.

Speaker 4 209 to 209.

Speaker 1 Falcon and Jaguar.

Speaker 1 I don't care if it's a huge tie. I don't know.

Speaker 4 If the season ended Sunday night, one of those two animals will come out victorious.

Speaker 1 PFT, you're over.

Speaker 4 I'm going to take the Panthers Dolphins over. 42 and a half.
Because these teams stink, but I think they stink in a way that their defenses can exploit each other. They deserve each other.
Yes.

Speaker 4 Does that make sense? Complimentary stink. Yeah, complimentary stink.
So, yeah, 42 and a half. That's just not a lot of points.
My projected number is 46.

Speaker 1 All right. My over, I'm going to take Vikings 49ers.
Vikings 49ers over 48. Is that right, Jake? Yes.
Okay. Over 48.

Speaker 1 I feel like there's going to be a lot of points in that game.

Speaker 4 Who'd you have the over on last week, Piquette?

Speaker 6 Dallas, Kansas City. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Thank you, Jake. Did you do that to hurt my feelings?

Speaker 1 No, no, I forgot.

Speaker 4 Troy Aikman had that over. Yes.
But I don't know if you're the same way. I was asking because I thought for some reason you took the Vikings over last week also.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 4 But that happens to me frequently where I'll take an over, and then one of the teams will absolutely deliver for me. So I just follow that.
Yes. Oh, yeah.
I follow that team around.

Speaker 1 You're going to reward excellence.

Speaker 6 Yes. Also, that's the reminder.
If any AEWLs are watching sports this weekend in the open, the broadcaster says there's going to be fireworks. Remind us to take the under.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 4 Troy Akeball.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 All right, Billy, you're over.

Speaker 4 Eagles Giants, 46.

Speaker 4 Don't love it. Are you trying to win this one? No.

Speaker 1 Okay, good.

Speaker 4 And that's a great pick. Well, the thing is, what happens is I'm like, this is totally not going to be an over.
And then I say, but I'm not trying to win this one. So I pick it, then it wins.

Speaker 1 Okay. Wait, so I like that.
So are you sure?

Speaker 1 I've thought about it long enough. I like it.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I don't think we need to dissect it.

Speaker 1 Blown coverages. Yes.
College football plays. Exactly.

Speaker 4 Yeah, new offensive, new play caller for the Giants. Freddy Kitchens.
Freddy Kitchens alive, new shit.

Speaker 1 Hell yeah.

Speaker 4 Freddy Kitchens. Running the draw on fourth and long.
Just weird shit.

Speaker 1 I love that guy so much.

Speaker 4 I don't know. The NFC Beast matchup, I think that these teams play each other pretty tough usually.

Speaker 1 Know each other. Familiarity.

Speaker 4 They are, yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Jake, you're over.

Speaker 6 I'm taking Steelers Bengals over 45 and a half.

Speaker 1 Joe Burrow, I feel like he's been scoring a lot. Yeah.
Big Ben, they can hang with him. Post-COVID? Yeah, seven and out, right? Yeah.
Yeah. No, it was seven touchdowns, zero interceptions.

Speaker 1 I think it's only happened twice. I don't think Big Ben has to be.
He's got to get it again.

Speaker 4 He's had COVID twice, not seven. He's working on it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And my theory is has never had COVID.
He just rests extra when he pretends he has COVID, and then he comes back and plays well.

Speaker 4 He gets the at-home test, and it's really just a pregnancy test, and he pisses on it, and then writes down, you have COVID again, bro. COVID.

Speaker 1 COVID. All right, under, wrapping it up.
Unders.

Speaker 3 Patriots, Titans, no Derrick Henry. Under 44.5.
Belichick punts on fourth and one and shit.

Speaker 1 These teams know each other.

Speaker 3 These teams know each other. Defensive battle.
Vrabel. Patriots play conservatively.

Speaker 1 I like the under. Vrabel just finds a loophole.
All stops the tickets.

Speaker 3 Take it for what it's worth. I'm 10-1 on unders in these picks.
No big deal. Due for a regression for sure, but

Speaker 1 10-understicks. Hank,

Speaker 4 give yourself credit.

Speaker 1 The underking.

Speaker 3 I'm not bragging. I'm just stating facts.

Speaker 1 Factor fiction. That's a fact.
So that means all your other picks you're not good in.

Speaker 3 No, I mean, I'm good in all of them.

Speaker 1 Well, that can't possibly be true.

Speaker 3 I think I'm good in the under.

Speaker 3 The only one I'm negative in, take a guess. Favorites.
Yep.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You weren't born for that life.

Speaker 4 I do love Hank's new segment, Fact or Fiction.

Speaker 1 Factor Fiction.

Speaker 1 Fiction.

Speaker 4 Wait, does it work like that?

Speaker 3 No, no, no. I'm saying fact or fiction.
That's fiction.

Speaker 4 No, give me fiction. Give me fiction.

Speaker 1 No, I'm saying fiction. I'm really good at...

Speaker 3 I'm really bad at picking unders.

Speaker 1 Fact. Fact.
Fiction. Oh,

Speaker 4 damn it. I have no idea what just happened.

Speaker 1 We lost. Fact or fiction.
Damn it. All right, Bubba, you're under.

Speaker 1 Doing the Eagles, Giants under 46. So fading Billy, but I guess with him, if he's trying to lose it.
So I don't know. I was trying to think out of where

Speaker 1 I was confused. Who the fuck knows? But yeah, I don't see the Giants just in turmoil.
I don't see them scoring a lot. Okay.

Speaker 4 PFT. I'm going to take the Browns-Ravens under 45.5.

Speaker 4 It's in Baltimore. It's going to be at night.
The Ravens are probably going to be wearing their black uniforms.

Speaker 4 Lamar Jackson might still have diarrhea. I don't know.
But most importantly, this is a uniform game. The Browns playing against the Ravens at night is an undergame.
Make no mistake about it.

Speaker 4 It's like a 13-10 game. Yep.
That's what I have envisioned. I have the Ravens defense flying around the ball.
I have them swarming.

Speaker 4 I have the Browns offense just like trying and trying and trying to establish the run, never really getting it off the ground. And then I have...

Speaker 1 Or always keeping it on the ground.

Speaker 4 Never getting the ground game off the ground.

Speaker 1 Got it. These are all, by the way, for people who are saying, like, how does PFT know this? These are models.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's my model. Yeah.
I mean, duh. I've watched enough Ravens night games to know that there's no point to get a score to these.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Justin Tucker long field goal.

Speaker 4 Yeah, easy under.

Speaker 4 I think the

Speaker 4 Vegas right now has him at 45.5. My simulated numbers have it at 37.
Ooh, I like that.

Speaker 1 That's a huge edge.

Speaker 4 Big swing. Huge edge.

Speaker 1 All right, I'm going to take the Chargers, Broncos under 47.5.

Speaker 1 I feel like the Broncos off a bye, Vic Fangio, cook something up. Chargers, everyone's going to overreact to that shootout.
The Chargers are weird because they either play in a game and they're good.

Speaker 1 They're not great. They're good.
But they either play in games that are boring and ugly or they play in these shootout games like the Browns game, like the Steelers game.

Speaker 1 They played in a couple of those where it's very, very fun, electric. And then they played in...

Speaker 1 I can't remember which game did. Oh, the Cowboys game, week two, was terrible.

Speaker 4 That was a fucked up game. I played a game.

Speaker 1 That was a fucked up game. And then there was another one that they played that was very, very boring.
I can't remember which one. Oh, the Ravens game they lost where they scored six points.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so give me the under in that one, 47 and a half.

Speaker 4 This is 47 here. Okay.

Speaker 1 47 and a half. I like it even more at 47.
That means I've already moved the line. Yeah, I see.

Speaker 4 Someone's listening to me. Mentally,

Speaker 4 I just don't like the idea of taking a Broncos over this year. Right, right.
I just can't do it. Right.

Speaker 1 Teddy Bridgewater, come on.

Speaker 1 Billy.

Speaker 4 Tampa Bay Colts, 51.5 for the over. This is another one where, like, this is your under.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, under, under, yeah.

Speaker 4 This is one you look at and you're like, oh, this is an over, but I'm feeling like it's going to be an under. Okay.
Not trying to win it because,

Speaker 1 yeah. But it's going to win.
What about the roof?

Speaker 4 How does the roof affect your model?

Speaker 4 The roof actually.

Speaker 4 Death perception.

Speaker 1 Okay. It's like

Speaker 4 shooting in a dome. Yeah.
Is it easier for a receiver to catch a bomb, an absolute bomb, if the roof is open or if it's closed?

Speaker 1 Probably open. Yeah, I agree.
I degree.

Speaker 4 Dome throws it off. Yeah.

Speaker 4 All right, Jake, wrap us up.

Speaker 6 We're wrapping up with Atlanta Jacksonville under 46.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're all over this game.

Speaker 6 So, opposite Liam.

Speaker 1 We got a great read on this game as a podcast.

Speaker 4 Dreams 13-9.

Speaker 1 Ooh, calling your shot. Yeah, we'll see.
That wouldn't be a Gami. No way.
No shot. No shot.
That was actually, I feel stupid for asking. That's all right.
No, it's okay. Call me stupid.

Speaker 1 No, you're not stupid. No, that was a stupid question.
No. Any games we missed? I think we hit all of them.

Speaker 1 I got a quick question

Speaker 4 about our friend Taylor Luan.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 So does anybody call him the dad of Nashville?

Speaker 1 I think he calls himself that on the Bussin podcast.

Speaker 4 Okay, I didn't know that because I just saw a tweet from Adam Schefter saying that Taylor was on his podcast and he referred to him as the dad of Nashville, Taylor Luan. Yes.

Speaker 4 I didn't know if that was like Adam Schefter handing out nicknames like Mr. Editor again.

Speaker 1 Sounds like you're not one of the boys. Oh.

Speaker 4 Is that true? No, I am a boy. I'm a big fan of the boys.

Speaker 1 Are you a son of a boy? Are you a boy dad?

Speaker 4 I'm not a boy. I'm a fan of the boys.

Speaker 3 Are you a fan of the sons?

Speaker 1 I'm a fan of the boys. I'm a boy.

Speaker 1 And I'm a son of a boy dad.

Speaker 4 I think we're all sons of boy dads.

Speaker 3 Right. No,

Speaker 3 the sons of boy dads fans are their sons. So you're the son of a son of dads.

Speaker 1 So they're the fathers? Are they doing the Gluckluck? $9,000? That's their goal, I think.

Speaker 3 Trying to get on that level.

Speaker 1 So who's the mom of Nashville? Get that

Speaker 1 spotty money?

Speaker 4 That's what I need to know.

Speaker 1 The mom of Nashville, Taylor Swift.

Speaker 4 So two Taylors. Taylor and Taylor.

Speaker 1 Taylor and Dad. You love it.
You love it.

Speaker 1 All right. Anything else? Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 Obviously, no show Friday. You're listening to this right now, either on Wednesday or Friday.

Speaker 1 We will be back, obviously, on Monday. Anything else? Good luck with all the picks.

Speaker 1 Good luck with everything. Rivalry Week.
Stay safe.

Speaker 4 How do we feel about pies? Give me a pie ranking.

Speaker 1 Okay, real quick. I think pumpkin pie is trash.

Speaker 4 I wouldn't say it's trash.

Speaker 1 I don't like it.

Speaker 4 Pumpkin pie is number three on my list. Apple.

Speaker 1 Apple's number

Speaker 4 tied for third. Okay.

Speaker 1 Blueberry?

Speaker 4 Blueberry is number two. Peach.
Peach is number five. Wow.
I still like it. I like all pies.
Pecan is number four.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 Still love it.

Speaker 1 Cream. Cream? Ah, you dog, PFT.

Speaker 1 That's your number one, isn't it?

Speaker 4 No, I was going to say sweet potato. Ah,

Speaker 1 mud. Same thing.
Mud.

Speaker 4 I'd like to change mine to cream.

Speaker 1 Yes. Boom.
Like the number one show. Yeah.
All right. Before we get, we got the Bella twins as well.
So we're going to do the Bella Twins right now. A little extra bonus interview.

Speaker 1 Great to have them both on this time.

Speaker 4 Guys love twins. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They were actually really, really fun to have on. Before we do that, PFT, you got one last sponsor.

Speaker 4 Yeah, our great friends that we have over at Simply Safe Want.

Speaker 10 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 4 Now, here's the Bella Twins. And now for something completely different.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on very special guests it is nikki and brie bella the bella twins uh we've had nikki on yeah that's right very excited to have both of you on thank you

Speaker 1 the uh podcast is back the bella's podcast is back it's uh came back was it season two season two

Speaker 9 yeah season two she's been back for three weeks now three weeks uh who's who's the big interview in season two So we just had Val from Dancer with the Stars on, but we're actually interviewing Tyler Cameron, which I think people will be excited about.

Speaker 9 We had my husband, Brian Danielson, on talking about AEW, but we record every week. Yeah, we don't do like

Speaker 9 a season of like where we do everything up front. So every week, it's like what we're filling, who we want to bring on, and we're going to just connect with all.

Speaker 1 Yeah, okay. So, who out of the two of you is like more like, I don't really want to record this week?

Speaker 9 Gosh, I feel like lately it's been unicold, but only because,

Speaker 1 whoa, wait, excuse excuse me, but only because

Speaker 1 it's like those TikToks when they're like when you close your eyes and you have to point next to the other person, who's who's who gets the most drunk?

Speaker 9 And I were just talking about that.

Speaker 1 We're like, how do you even have time to begin? Yeah, I'm like, I'm a mom, I don't get up fucking time for that.

Speaker 9 But just because she's Arden's been doing Dancy with the Stars, and she's been on her own with Mateo, so she's been super tired. And so it's just been hard to work.
This is all new.

Speaker 1 This is good. I like this.
So

Speaker 1 let's get it out. Let's get it out.
Yeah.

Speaker 9 I have not complained. And

Speaker 9 really, I mean, I show up, so obviously I show up looking like shit. I guess it's maybe not your stout complaint.

Speaker 4 Well, yeah, I mean, you guys, obviously, there's maybe hasn't been any complaining from your perspective, but it sounds like, you know, if you show up to do the job, that's good enough.

Speaker 4 If you're a new mom and you show up for work, I feel like that's enough to just get a good kid.

Speaker 9 I mean, I should get high fives and props. Yes.

Speaker 1 Not, you know, get a hater to my right.

Speaker 9 I have fingers. I have two kids.

Speaker 1 Working moms deserve all the credit in the world. Don't we? Thank you.
That's how I felt. That's a big, big deal.
Yeah.

Speaker 9 And our men travel a lot. So, like,

Speaker 9 working moms who are home a lot on our own. You know, I was in couples therapy the other day.

Speaker 1 Oh, with your sister? No.

Speaker 1 But we need it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'll do it for you right now.

Speaker 9 So with my fiancé, and you know, I was so happy because our life coach was like, you know, you have to sometimes recognize not only

Speaker 9 a career woman because of the pressures and just trying to make it where men make it, but then moms have a lot of pressures. Yes.

Speaker 9 And he goes, so then when you have a career mom, the pressures that she has to deal with are just enormous and stuff you don't realize. And I was like, keep going.

Speaker 1 I think there's this weird thing and it's probably some societal thing that like everyone subconsciously doesn't even realize is going on.

Speaker 1 But like moms, when they're away from their kids, I feel like they just get there's so much more pressure to be home and be with the kids and like and missing moments where I don't like I when I travel, I'd miss my kids a lot, but it does, it just feels different.

Speaker 1 It's not right, it's not fair, right? So, I know how hard it must be for moms. Yeah, mom guild is like yeah, that's yeah, mom guilt.

Speaker 9 The mom guild is crazy, and it's like real.

Speaker 9 Um, but I think it's your kids, too, at young ages. I don't know if you feel this with your son, but they're

Speaker 9 and daughter.

Speaker 1 Okay, so you're like, boy and girl.

Speaker 9 Are they really attached to your wife at the young ages? You know what I mean? Like, super needy for mom.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yes, definitely, definitely.

Speaker 9 That's how our kids are with us. So, it makes us when we leave, like, it's just like, oh, but they just always really want mom to do this.
It's gonna be so sad.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, there's definitely

Speaker 1 a vibe that mom is always like the fixer of everything. Yes, yeah, with the boo-boos and all that stuff.

Speaker 4 Were either of you guys hoping for twins?

Speaker 1 I was. Does it run in the family?

Speaker 9 No, we're identical, so it's like an accident where it just happens to split. Yeah, I don't want to pop them out again.
Like, I've done it once, I don't want to experience it again.

Speaker 9 So, I was hoping for twins to get, like, two out of the way on a one-shot deal, but

Speaker 1 I don't, I mean, your parents could probably speak to it. Like, I don't understand how people have twins and deal with two babies, like, at the same exact time.
Right.

Speaker 9 That's actually

Speaker 9 crazy. Especially when they're your first.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's crazy. I see people with twins.
I'm like, how the fuck do you do this?

Speaker 4 I think I would rather have twins. It's like you're done with diapers at the end of it.
You don't have to carry around a diaper bag for, you know, four years.

Speaker 9 Yeah. So you go through hell like the first year and then

Speaker 9 the first two are pretty tough.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Even though it's like,

Speaker 9 for me now, it's like three inters and then it's like the fucking fours. Like my daughter's four and a half and how she speaks to me, I'm like, what did you just say? Like it's crazy.

Speaker 1 Well, I saw, I saw,

Speaker 1 I think it was a TikTok or maybe on Instagram where someone was basically, you know, mocking how everyone deals with children in society where it's like, oh, wait for the twos, it's going to be the worst.

Speaker 1 Wait for fives, wait till they're teenagers, and then like when they go off to college, it's like, you got to cherish every moment. How'd you let it go by so fast? Like, fuck you.

Speaker 1 You told me that every year was going to suck. Yeah.
So that's actually so terrible. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 So my first real question, I saw,

Speaker 1 I've been watching some of your podcasts, the Bella Army.

Speaker 1 Bella Army versus the Swifties. Do you guys have a chance?

Speaker 9 I think so. I know.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you think so? I don't know.

Speaker 1 I think that's enough. What's your emoji?

Speaker 4 Do you have like a scarf or what is it?

Speaker 1 See, you don't even have an emoji.

Speaker 1 You guys are.

Speaker 9 But that's when you have an army like we do. We don't need an emoji.
I know. Why don't we have an emoji?

Speaker 1 You need an emoji, bro.

Speaker 9 You need an emoji.

Speaker 1 A bell. Swifties.
To be a bell.

Speaker 1 Oh, yes. Or to, like, I think there's a twin emoji, too.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the belt and then the twin.

Speaker 1 Okay, there you go. Yeah, you can.
At least we can make up our own emojis. No, I think you guys are fucked by the Swifties.
The Swifties are. No, have you seen them? And who can we take down?

Speaker 9 I feel like though, Bella Army. Well, Swifties, though, they are pretty.

Speaker 1 They're pretty crazy.

Speaker 4 The Swifties are nuts. I'm scared.
It's the craziest women in America. And the guys who are in the Swifty Army are actually crazier than her females.

Speaker 1 You're going to get it. I didn't say that.
I want to be on the record. That was PFT.
You said they were the crazy family. No, I am a Swift.

Speaker 1 As a Swift. I did not say that.
I was all loud to say that.

Speaker 1 Get your scarf back, Jake.

Speaker 9 Swifty is Taylor Swift's crew.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Oh, my gosh, Spree.

Speaker 1 That was embarrassing, Bree. Just seeing that.

Speaker 1 What's your favorite song? Did I just say that? That was very embarrassing, Bree.

Speaker 9 I really like the soundtrack. What's it called? One? No, I like the one she just did with

Speaker 1 no red. Taylor's version.
Yeah. And I liked a lot of this.
Have you guys thought about doing that? Like doing all your best wrestling moments, redoing them so Vince doesn't own them anymore? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Whoa.

Speaker 1 That's like a Swifty movie. Yeah.
Make some NFTs out of it.

Speaker 9 I was going to say NFT.

Speaker 1 Why not?

Speaker 4 Rename them Taylor's version. Yeah.
That way you get the Swifty Army buying your shit, too.

Speaker 1 You know, the Bella Army, they grow.

Speaker 9 They grow every week.

Speaker 1 They do grow every week.

Speaker 9 They're hardcore.

Speaker 9 And we're worldwide. I mean, Swifty's are too, but like, there's something different about the Bella Army.

Speaker 1 So what country have you guys traveled to where you're like, whoa, we're huge here?

Speaker 9 I was like, I all met, when we went to South America and we came off the plane into baggage claim. It was like almost a rolling stone moment.

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 9 I was mind-blown.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 9 And in South America, of course, I was like, yeah, you know, like, I get it. Like, we're going here to wrestle and all that, but I did not know what we were walking into.

Speaker 9 In Singapore, too, I was like, I mean, always Japan, of course, in those areas.

Speaker 9 But like Singapore had shocked me, and I think certain parts of Australia.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 I mean, that's got to be.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's got to be a very cool moment because like we've had those moments, but it's always been in the U.S. where it's like, we'll go somewhere like, whoa, this is kind of cool.

Speaker 1 We're We're big in Buffalo. Crazy.
I don't think if

Speaker 1 we went to, I don't know, Uruguay, I don't think there'd be people waiting for us.

Speaker 4 I wonder if there's like a weird country that has a disproportionately high percentage of award-winning listeners.

Speaker 1 Or Bella Army. Yeah, maybe yeah.
Yeah, Bella Army. I could see

Speaker 1 India,

Speaker 1 we've talked to a lot of cricket. Yeah, that is.
We've talked to a lot of cricket.

Speaker 4 We have talked a lot of cricket.

Speaker 1 We have a shitload of cricket.

Speaker 4 I have something I have to get off my chest. Something that irritates me a little bit about you guys.
I'm not sure if we brought it up with you when we interviewed you in California.

Speaker 4 but what's the deal with sharing a Twitter account?

Speaker 1 You did bring it up.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's strange. It's like the recording.

Speaker 9 Can I confess something?

Speaker 9 I tell my sister all the time, just take Twitter.

Speaker 1 I don't even have the Twitter app.

Speaker 9 Just take it. She doesn't even have it on her phone.

Speaker 1 So you have it. You are actually.

Speaker 9 I'm the Bella. So I just go put Nikki Bella.

Speaker 1 I don't care.

Speaker 9 No, but I wanted to. So WWB now owns that, don't they? Isn't that what? There was something where I tried.
I wanted it to be Nikki Bella.

Speaker 1 We freed Odell. You guys.
Oh, you guys guys did. Yeah, free you.
Hey, let's free free.

Speaker 1 Have you guys ever sneezed around Vince McMahon?

Speaker 1 Sneeze?

Speaker 9 No, because you know how it's about him not liking germs.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 9 No, we all know that he doesn't, so we wouldn't sneeze around Vince.

Speaker 1 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 9 So

Speaker 9 he is very intimidating, but there's moments where you're like, whoa, like, this is Uncle Vince, like, really sweet, and you feel comfortable, and you're having like this deep, great.

Speaker 9 When you want to have a conversation with him, he's actually amazing to have a conversation with. I think it's more all of us who get intimidated by him because it's Vince McMahon.

Speaker 9 So, he's like more than just a boss.

Speaker 9 And then, when you actually get the courage to go talk to him, and you're sitting and talking with him, all of a sudden, you're like, that was so easy, and that was also such a great conversation, and so much better for my character.

Speaker 9 Why haven't I done this sooner? Right. And so, it's a weird thing.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 What's the best way to get his attention? Does it have to be like in an office type environment, like schedule a meeting with him if you need to have a heart to heart?

Speaker 1 It's a crowd to chant your name really loud.

Speaker 9 So, I come back, and he's like, Yeah,

Speaker 9 let's talk right now.

Speaker 9 Actually, it's crazy because we always found the best time to talk to him is when the show's almost about to go on because the show's already written, everything's all their creative meetings are.

Speaker 9 Yeah, that's a little bit of the eye of the storm. Like, the storm's going, but there's just this calmness.

Speaker 9 You kind of know that time, and that's when you go talk to him and you get his full attention.

Speaker 4 Have you ever gotten in trouble with him, like where you did something and you knew that, like, maybe you fucked up? Yeah, I'm going to get this call soon.

Speaker 9 There's a couple times where I we got, I felt like yelled at. Yeah.

Speaker 9 And it was just like,

Speaker 9 I mean, you think when you get yelled at, you're like, I don't know, we might have been in our late 20s, and all of a sudden you felt like a five-year-old.

Speaker 9 Like, you're just like, whoa, I'm going to time out. Like,

Speaker 9 I'm grounded. This sucks.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 It's critical parent on you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you just like Trump. Yeah.

Speaker 9 It takes you back.

Speaker 1 You guys both got inducted to the Hall of Fame, right? We did.

Speaker 1 So did you get like a jacket or something or anything? Rings. Huge rings.
Rings. Why aren't you wearing them?

Speaker 9 And plaques. Because people like to steal them.
You have to be careful. We were in New York.

Speaker 9 We heard about the streets in New York. We're like, we're not bringing these.

Speaker 1 Where you guys live? San Diego, right? No. Napa Valley.
Now.

Speaker 1 Oh. Oh, yeah.
You guys have wine, too.

Speaker 1 Now,

Speaker 1 winemaking. Like, how much? Do you guys just get to drink all the wine? Do you get to...
I would actually want to stomp the grapes. I think that would be the fun part.

Speaker 9 You know what? We've stomped grapes before. You have?

Speaker 9 It's like the best. I love the feeling of like stomping grapes.
It's just so cool. So we can do it.

Speaker 1 And I feel like not to make it like a foot fetish thing, but like, wouldn't it help the Bella twins wine? No, like the wine sales of like

Speaker 1 these were smashed by our feet. Yeah.
And maybe a picture of your feet on the bottle. There'd be some weirdos out there that's not a good thing.

Speaker 1 I'm just giving you guys million dollars.

Speaker 1 They're on to something. They're on to something.
That might be a special release.

Speaker 1 That is way creepier.

Speaker 9 Is there a hashtag National Foot Day or not?

Speaker 1 No, there's some big time creep. I'm sure there's some big time feet creepers out there.
And like you guys could really see. Oh, yeah, no, they were on the one website.
Pedia or whatever? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 Who else do we have that was on the oh, that's so bad.

Speaker 1 There's just one guy who just, I think, runs the showers the internet, and he just takes screenshots of everyone's feet.

Speaker 9 But I think some of them take it on the red carpets, some of the photographers, and they sell them.

Speaker 1 Oh, interesting. You haven't seen

Speaker 9 celebrity feet? No. Oh, yeah, girl, you're on there with some Zoom, like Zoom dance, show action.

Speaker 4 You should definitely have wine that was stomped with.

Speaker 1 You can even do like a special

Speaker 1 tau vignon. Yeah, there you go.
Oh, special run. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Per low. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's got pictures of your feet stomping the grapes. Sweet.

Speaker 9 And then do merch after. Like, it's

Speaker 9 your feet on in like white t-shirts.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 There you go. This is

Speaker 1 tons of money that you guys can be making. Pretty good.
So, wait, how often does a new like crop of the wine come out? Oh, gosh.

Speaker 9 So we're bottling up our Chardonnay December 9th. And then in January, we're bottling up some red.
So is it like a big day?

Speaker 1 It is a new day. You go out there and it's like, all right, let's go, guys.
Well, harvest just ended.

Speaker 9 Harvest is big. That's when we pick the grapes.
And then

Speaker 9 they will

Speaker 9 get processed and sit in the barrels for a while, depending what vintage, however long we want them to sit in for. And then the bottling day comes.
And then that's like...

Speaker 1 Bottling day sounds fun. I want to say that.
Bottling day.

Speaker 1 It is exciting. It's amazing.
How has global warming hurt your wine business?

Speaker 9 It's actually hurting Napa Valley a lot.

Speaker 1 That was a joke of a question, but you can answer it.

Speaker 1 I was going to say. But it is.

Speaker 9 We literally have fire seasons now

Speaker 1 and like droughts.

Speaker 4 So where's the next Napa Valley? Where's the ball?

Speaker 1 Sonoma is actually kind of where it's at.

Speaker 4 No, Sonoma is totally.

Speaker 9 The fires are like going.

Speaker 1 Coombsville is the sleeper. Coombsville.

Speaker 1 Coombsville, but Spain is outside of Napa. Outside of Napa.

Speaker 9 But Spain is where they're trying to grow grapes. And I think South America, too.

Speaker 9 They're like, there's some good wines coming out of there, and they feel like with global warming, they're going to be able to do a lot out of there. But

Speaker 9 it's just hard because Napa Valley.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's something about it.

Speaker 1 Last time I was there, I went on a wine tour, and we all forgot to eat. And then

Speaker 1 my friend actually ended up breaking up with his girlfriend on the bus. Oh, my God.
Yeah, no, it was a whole fucking scene. It was right before a wedding, too.
Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 So then we had to go to the wedding and they were like,

Speaker 1 no, they kind of got back together, but we all were like, that was weird. Yeah.
nobody's going to be able to do it. What do you break up with her?

Speaker 1 I don't know. We were all so.
They saw

Speaker 9 it. People were puking.

Speaker 1 It was like a whole fucking thing. Oh, my God.
We went to four different wineries, just never ate. Oh, that's a good one.
And by the fourth one, we were like, wait, this was a mistake.

Speaker 1 And people were just blacked out. Oh, my God.

Speaker 4 You know, getting wine drunk is a little bit messier sometimes than getting just

Speaker 4 whiskey drunk. You just get into a fight with somebody and you yell, take your shirt off.
Wine, it's like you're thrown up, your lips, your teeth are all red.

Speaker 1 Yep. And everyone's crying.
Yeah. It's way more emotional

Speaker 1 it is so emotional and then you get a massive hang

Speaker 9 like the next day i mean brie mode over here when she gets wine drunk she's what happened to me last night

Speaker 1 what's brief tell me about brief oh brie let's talk about brief

Speaker 9 alternative that comes out but it what happens is i don't know what happens it's like i feel like i'm fine like i have a couple glasses of wine but then next thing you know i just feel like i transform into someone else like and i never know when it's like a sleeper i don't know when it happens it just comes and So you just speak your mind and control it.

Speaker 1 Are you telling me?

Speaker 1 She dances. Oh, that was so good.
It's a damn thing. I love it.

Speaker 1 I'm actually burying. I don't bite you.
No, I don't bite anymore.

Speaker 9 You don't bite anymore. We used to bite people.

Speaker 1 It feels like

Speaker 4 let's stop there. So with the biting,

Speaker 4 it feels like it had to reach a point where you really bit somebody that you shouldn't have. Where you're like, okay, no more biting.

Speaker 1 Someone had to get a tetanus shot. Yeah, no.

Speaker 9 Like, I thought I was going to be like sued.

Speaker 9 Like, I got really scared. I was like, oh, shit, there goes my life.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, happy drunk, as long as it's a happy drunk. Yeah, no one wants to be.
No, I'm a total happy drunk.

Speaker 9 But you like to wrestle people.

Speaker 9 She gets happy aggressive, but it's like in a fun way,

Speaker 9 fun way.

Speaker 9 You know, you showed up to someone's birthday party, and we literally used the memes, like Miley Cyrus on the wrecking ball, because we came into this birthday party two hours late.

Speaker 9 It was a sit-down dinner. We came in so because we did a champagne tasting.

Speaker 9 So this one comes in, then there's the birthday boy standing in his nice

Speaker 9 white button down. She gets a glass glass of red wine.
She's like, ha!

Speaker 1 Just tosses it on.

Speaker 9 I thought he actually knocked it. No.
And then she's like, we're dancing in the rain.

Speaker 1 I like that. And then we're all sad.

Speaker 9 So I felt bad for him, and she's in this beautiful yellow dress. So I looked at her, and then I dumped my red wine on her, thinking like it'd make him feel better.
And then

Speaker 9 they're a hot mess. And then we made everyone dance in the rain.

Speaker 1 And then sounds like a fun time.

Speaker 1 Sounds like a fun time.

Speaker 4 Are you actually like willing to fight somebody now? Like from a physical standpoint, your body has held up enough? Are there still like...

Speaker 9 I mean, if like someone made me feel like I had to fight, like, if they threatened me, I would totally fight them and beat them.

Speaker 1 I think they'd be shocked. When was the last time you got to fight?

Speaker 9 I mean, like... A long time in your brain.
Like, real fighting.

Speaker 1 Fighting a hangover doesn't count.

Speaker 9 No, I know. Real fighting, I've never done.
I mean, that's wrestling. But I know I could take, like, if someone came up to me, I was like, hey, I'd be like, what?

Speaker 9 And they, like, talk shit, I'd, you know, and they hit me, I'd hit them back. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Bell Army. Yeah.
Hell yeah. Fuck them up.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So you guys have been on like different reality television shows. How when when they're taping and they're like in your face, is it the worst experience? I always feel like that must suck.
It can be.

Speaker 1 Because they're in your house too, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah. And there's major anxiety.

Speaker 9 That's why we just knew we had to end. Once we had the babies, like she had two, and then just me having one, like, I gave birth on, you know, on camera, but the thing is, is they had props up.

Speaker 9 So it was still just three of us in the room. But I remember the feeling when I brought my son home and just just one little camera being in there, I hated it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I can imagine. Yeah.

Speaker 9 I couldn't, it was just, it didn't feel right. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 It's like a very personal space.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Newborn child.

Speaker 4 And it's like, you feel like, I don't know, maybe you didn't feel this way, but from the outside, it would seem like with a camera crew in there with your newborn, it's like commercializing your child already.

Speaker 4 It's like, this is good bonding time. I want to have just

Speaker 1 100%.

Speaker 1 100%. Exactly.

Speaker 9 That's exactly how I felt.

Speaker 9 And then getting, when you get your fights, like relationship fights, like we have to relive them again. They always cause another argument.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 9 we're arguing about this again, but it's because you're re-watching it and you're like, shit.

Speaker 4 You do watch what happens live to each other after you watch the show.

Speaker 1 You re-litigate the whole thing.

Speaker 9 And then the worst is you have to watch yourself. So then when you know you're wrong and you had to just watch yourself being wrong, but you were defending yourself being right.
That's like the worst.

Speaker 9 I had to do that a few seasons ago. Watching yourself back drunk was really bad.

Speaker 9 Like I was in a green screen one time and they're like, so tell us how you came up with the song, How Did I Lose My Shoe? And I was like, What? What are you talking about?

Speaker 9 They're like, You wrapped it in the UK. And I'm like, I did what? And they're like, Get the footage.
And I'm watching myself. And I'm like, I was blacked out.

Speaker 1 I had no idea.

Speaker 9 I rapped the song about losing my shoe.

Speaker 4 I would have so much anxiety if somebody was just like replaying my drunkest moments to me. Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 4 Like, confirming every like you wake up in the morning, like, oh, God, what did I do last night? Well, guess what? We've got four cameras that shot it in HD.

Speaker 1 Yeah, could you imagine? Imagine the drunk angry. I got that.

Speaker 9 That was the most humiliating re-watch, especially like my spanks ranging out of my dress, like sloppy, angry, drunk.

Speaker 1 Been there. Yep.
Wouldn't know.

Speaker 1 I did not want that. All right, so I had one last question.
So the podcast is back. Who's the dream guest?

Speaker 9 Oh, my gosh. I would love Angelina Jolie to be on.
Ooh, that's a good one. Yeah, I put her on the list.
They're like, we'll see, Brie. And I'm like, she has a lot she needs to talk about and promote.

Speaker 9 I think I would really love to have Mia Ham.

Speaker 1 Oh, yes. Also,

Speaker 9 yeah, she's always been like my inspiration growing up. And I want to like, even you, do you guys remember when she did all the Michael Jordan, her, for Nike? Anything else?

Speaker 9 Yeah. Right.
That campaign. Like, I want to like ask her about all that because think of the time that she did that.
Like, Title IX was just trying to get past. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Like, those were our soccer days, and she was like who I had up on my wall. So

Speaker 1 was it 98 World Cup? No. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
When they won the Rose Bowl. Yeah, yeah.
Because we were at 98.

Speaker 9 We were in the bag.

Speaker 1 And you remember the big deal

Speaker 1 when Brandy and Brandy Chest Dave took her shirt off, and she's in a sports bra.

Speaker 9 Now everyone's like, oh,

Speaker 1 it is kind of crazy to think that that was like a big deal. And that was in flash forward.

Speaker 4 It was a different world, too, because I remember they went on the Letterman show before the World Cup, and Dave Letterman was like, so this is kind of crazy. You guys are athletes, but

Speaker 4 you're hot.

Speaker 1 And it's like, whoa, imagine if that happened the way that that team was covered.

Speaker 4 But I actually, I love watching women soccer, especially in the United States, because one, we win, we're actually really good as far. And two, the women don't flop.

Speaker 1 The men are the one who are, they're always diving.

Speaker 4 They're faking injuries and shit out there. It gets annoying to watch sometimes.

Speaker 4 But you'll never see a woman pretend to get fouled when she didn't. I don't know what the total disconnect there is.
That's actually true.

Speaker 1 I've actually never even thought about that.

Speaker 9 We actually met Alex Morgan and we were like super excited. And then she knew our wrestling.
And we were like, whoa, like, it was really fun to talk to her.

Speaker 9 But it's yeah, it's, you know, women on a soccer field, though, it's like there's this aggression that you have, and like the more you get hit, it's like the more fierce it makes you, and the more, I don't know, it's something different on there.

Speaker 9 Yeah, it's yeah, we want a meham, come on, yeah,

Speaker 1 do it, yeah, do it, meham, let's go.

Speaker 9 We like guests that inspire our listeners, especially like on the woman front.

Speaker 1 It's just it's you should have Dan Bilzerian on.

Speaker 1 Who? He'd be a great guest. You know, Dan Bilzerian?

Speaker 1 Maybe not.

Speaker 1 Look him up.

Speaker 1 Right. He's a good friend of ours.
So everyone can find, though, the Bellas podcast. It's on Stitcher, the SiriusXM, Stitcher, the app, Pandora, anywhere you can find podcasts and also YouTube.

Speaker 1 So check it out, the Bellas Podcast. Become part of the Bella Army.
We're going to take over the Swifties.

Speaker 9 Yes, we are. Guys, we can do this.

Speaker 1 We can do this. I promise you.
We all want to be able to do it. I do not think we can.

Speaker 9 I do not think we can.

Speaker 1 I think we can. I gotta warn you.

Speaker 4 I'm gonna pretend that I'm in the Bella Army, but the second the Swifties into the fray, I'm going to be the first guy running back.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're going to be a disturbing. You're going to have to shoot me.
I'm going to delete all my Twitter and Instagram the minute the Swifties.

Speaker 4 The Swifties.

Speaker 9 I thought they were real positive.

Speaker 1 Oh, no.

Speaker 1 Not anymore.

Speaker 1 Go look at Jamie Lee. We have one here.

Speaker 1 She'll cut your throat.

Speaker 4 Jamie Lee Curtis posted a picture of the Gyllenhaus, Maggie and Jake,

Speaker 4 being like, hey, look at my godchildren. Aren't they lovely? And then the Swifty Army just attacked her Instagram.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 4 It was like, give Taylor the fucking Swift Care Act chair.

Speaker 9 Okay, really quick, can I ask you guys, because I saw this,

Speaker 9 is Jennifer Anston? I saw her name get in the middle of this. Did she take Jake away from Taylor?

Speaker 1 Ooh, I don't know. Did you hear about the bathroom? I think we've said too much.
I think I'm team Jennifer.

Speaker 1 Jennifer's a goat.

Speaker 9 Well, supposedly, the Swifties right now, I mean,

Speaker 4 they're just looking for anybody.

Speaker 9 They're going after Anston.

Speaker 1 They're coming for next.

Speaker 4 Yeah, if you're a Swifty, it's like either you're with us or you're against us. If you're not actively pro-Swift, they assume that you're anti-Swift.

Speaker 1 Shit, I might leave the Bella Army and go to the Swifties. It would be a smart move.
Yes, it would. Is Taylor sorry about acknowledging this?

Speaker 1 I don't think so. I don't think she acknowledges it, but I think she probably is happy that she has such a loyal fan base.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, thank you guys so much.
Always great to have you on.

Speaker 1 And anytime you're in town, please make sure you send us a bottle of the

Speaker 1 stomped on wine with the picture of your feet. Not that we want it, but I want to just be acknowledged for that.
It's like a billion dollar idea. Yeah.
Yeah. Just so you can.

Speaker 9 We'll put your face on the back.

Speaker 1 A lot of creeps out there that want that. Not me.
Not again, not me. Not BFT, but a lot of creeps.
All right. Thank you guys.
