It's part of my take presented by Marshall Sports. Get higher.
Welcome to part of my take presented by Tostitos. Go to Tostitos.com slash Romo right now.
Enter for a chance to win Romo in your ear. Today is Friday, November 19th.
and we just watched the, I would say, the largest two-score blowout I've ever seen in my life. Technically a two-score blowout, but I feel like 16-0.
There are two-score blowouts, and then there are two-score blowouts. 16.
It didn't do it justice. It might as well be 40-0 right now.
Yes, and Matt Ryan has the saddest face in the world. Matt Ryan isyan is poor matt ryan i'm gonna say that because it's not his fault that his block his his line couldn't block they couldn't run the ball they couldn't pass the ball the patriots i all right let's start with this jewel so jewels is here we're gonna do this this was actually uh much acclaimed i told him this and i think the squirrel in Julian Edelman, the

undrafted guy who's always

grinding, was like, people really like

that? And I was like, yes, people loved it.

He was actually drafted though.

But you're the most undrafted.

You're undrafted.

Seventh round. That's undrafted.
We both know that.

But

everyone loved it when we did it a month ago. We watched

Thursday Night Football with Jules. We had him on to start the show.
We're doing that again. So let's start there, Jules.
Matt Ryan, how sad do you feel for him? I mean, it's tough. I mean, he definitely looks like someone stole his puppy on the sidelines.
He doesn't have a dog anymore. He's dogless.
He's dogless. We were talking during the game.
If you were to have, like, we got the Romo in your ear, if there was Jules in your ear, it would just be a play, and then Julian would be like, that guy's a dog. That guy's got dogs.
Yeah, you got to have some dog in you in this. This game's kind of evolving, and that old school mentality, those guys had a lot more dog, you know, and you still have it out there but when there's a when there's a feisty player like a big play a nice hit a great block a fullback play a block engagement that's a guy that has some dog in him you Jules said uh we asked him when we were sitting down what he thought about Mac Jones said he loves him but uh he also would like to see him maybe sprain his ankle or something, face some adversity, see how he does with that.
I hope he doesn't do that. No, we hope he doesn't sprain his ankle, but you're like, in true Julian Edelman fashion, like, I want to see him banged up a little so that see what he can overcome.
You want to see the toughness of a guy. We're seeing how he can take in the offense and he can be an efficient quarterback.
But there's going to be times where it's not always sunny and they're going on a four-game winning streak looking to be five here. I want to see him that last bit to see if he's your guy, which he's their guy, but I want to see something go wrong and I want to see see the man he is in an adverse situation.
That's when you see your best leaders. That's when the Tom Brady's, I mean, I only know him, but like...
Jimmy Garoppolo. Jimmy, Tom Brady's, you know, when he goes out in any situation, when we were down a certain amount of points, you saw a laser focus in his eye, and I want to see it.
I mean, everything looks great right now. He's looking like a really good quarterback.
He's taking in the offense. He plays on time.
Oh, you like that. Isn't that a football guy thing to say? He does, though.
Everything's on time. He does play on time.
Now, I said that on Monday's show. I actually don't even know really what it means, so explain to me what playing on time is.
Playing on time is like getting through your reads at the correct time. Seeing if you have a hitch out there, it's cover two, you see the trap corner, your eyes click automatically from here to your cover two side, you step up in the pocket and you deliver a catchable football.
Like those little things that guys do in the pocket and when they're clicking through their progression, that's when you start to see if a guy plays on time. You know, when a guy doesn't have his feet set and he drops back and he looks over there and then he looks late over there and he throws a ball at the guy's feet.
That's because he's not playing on time. He spent too much time on the front side when he should have probably went to the backside.
That's what playing on time means. His eyes are always in the right area.
He's delivering the ball when he should deliver the ball in the cover two window or when they're high-loing a mic, and he's hitting it right after the mic linebacker on the rat. Those are playing on time kind of moments.
And Mac Jones, confirmed, plays on time. He's playing on time right now.
I've noticed that his drop-back speed is elite. He's not a fast guy, but when he gets the ball in his hands, he takes that three-step drop.
He actually looks fast when his legs are crossing over each other. Yeah.
I actually heard through the grapevine that I think he's a 20-mile-an. What? I heard.
I heard he's hit 20 once. How fast is 20? Like a legit 20 miles an hour? Yeah, well, everything's...
In a car? No, everything's GPSed. Well, not...
Like when they do 20s and stuff, they do conditioning. Like they're always monitoring everything.
I heard he's a 20 guy. I believe he's 20 when he does a three-step drop or a five-step drop.
He's like deceptively fast getting back there. That'd be like a 12.
He's a 12. 12 mile an hour going backwards would be pretty good.
But sometimes it's more important to go from 20 to zero than it is from zero to 20. True.
Exactly. The 5-10-5.
Yeah. Yep.
5-10-5 guy. What did you think, by the way, there was much discussion between Billy and Hank on Mac Jones maybe giving a little bit of a wrestling move against the Panthers after an interception? I mean, I thought that was within the game.
He didn't know who had the ball. I mean, he was holding on for dear life.
If you're a linebacker, who was it? I can't remember. Hank is nodding furiously right now.
If you're a linebacker and you're getting tossed up like that by a guy holding on for dear life, hey, you shouldn't. There's an old saying, only bad players get held.
Is that true? I don't know. I like that saying.
Bad players get held. Because if you're a dog, you get that hold right off of you and you go.
Well, I've actually noticed when... And I'm not saying...
I don't know who the guy is, but I'm just saying, like, pull your leg up. Let's go.
He didn't know. With Matthew Judon, when he's out there and he's got the red sleeves on, I think it's easier for a ref to see if he's getting held.
Very true. Well, yeah.
Tell us. So you told us the story there.
All the details with Belichick.ick belichick would he would always try to get me to change the color of my glove for blocking in the run game because if we were playing a team that had white and the referee he said you know the ref could see your goddamn glove on the back side of him he's gonna call holding every time so he would literally make like young players like hey you're wearing white today white today because we're playing against a white team you wouldn't change no i can't change my mom my mom knew me by the red gloves oh wow that's how i started so so he so do you think he uh called more like blocking situations for you against the chiefs no he's like all right we can actually use jewels in the blocking game here no but i mean it's crazy because i mean he would always he'd show an example and it would usually be right of a guy that didn't look like a real big hold a ticky tacky call maybe and the guy had like a colorful glove on a white popped yeah god damn it those are like some of the those are the details that are just hilarious and also why Belichick is Belichick. To be like, yeah, the gloves are actually going to probably cost us at some point.
What about wearing white shoes if you're a receiver and you make a catch near the sidelines and you can't tell if you're out of bounds or not because your shoes are white? I just wore white cleats because it made me look faster. It does.
It always. It's more that black shoes make you look really slow.
Yes. Johnny Knight.
That's when you always know a guy's a burner. If you see a guy wearing black cleats and he still looks fast.
Yeah, that's extra fast. That's when those guys are like, they know they're fast, they wear black cleats.
It's like a flex. My other big takeaway from this game, besides Matt Ryan, just looking like an old dog dog like a dog that's getting gray all over

his face oh Josh Rosen here comes a pick nope just threw it 60 yards out of bounds don't say

that I mean it's it's going to happen it's definitely gonna happen but my other big

takeaway is Arthur Smith needs to grow 12 touchdowns and 20 INTs not great career not

great but Arthur Smith the the exposed cheeks and I figured out tonight I don't think it's

necessarily his chin that looks bad it's his neck sometimes when he doesn't have the beard going on it. Yeah, he definitely looks like the son and king of the hill.
Bobby Hill. He's Bobby Hill as a head coach.
A little Bobby Hill, but hey, you know, coaches, they do that. It's so, look at there.
I told you, there's a pick. Pick six? Josh Rosen, I called it.
I called it. Pick six.
Calvin. Oh, that shouldn't count as a pick.
That should count as a half an interception, like a half a sack. If it's against Josh Rosen.
I just tweeted Josh Rosen comeback season right before he threw that. I told you.
An old Texas A&M game. Huh? Big cat.
Is he still there? Whoops. I'm basically Tony Romo right now.
Another big takeaway. Steve Belichick's massive pink eye just disappeared over the course of the last 24 hours.
He had pink eye? Yeah. Oh, it was bad.
He had a giant herp on his eyelid when he was doing his latest Zoom call. Billy saw it, right? It was a stye.
It was a stye. I've actually had a stye.
That's bad. People judge you.
Yeah. Well, the only reason I got it, because Amendola got it a couple times he used to get these styes and i would make fun of him so bad then he ate his ass i don't know i thought he like maybe someone fart in his face or something how you get him but then like one day i came to work and i had a stye and he just wouldn't let me yeah yeah he asked for it the other uh the other story you told us uh we when we were watching there was a play close to the goal line and you said that Belichick used to always teach you guys never reach out for the goal line yeah you can't I mean unless it was a fourth down play or a two point conversion that you absolutely needed uh because it the it's it's a risky play I mean you see time and time again throughout years, guys that go to try to do it and they slip the ball out, you get a touchback or a guy comes in, hits it, the ball's more vulnerable.
And as Bill would say, when you're carrying the ball, you're carrying the fate of the team, the upper division, the fan base, the region of New England in your hands. Franchise, yeah.
In your hands. No pressure.
he would break down the whole thing you can tell players that don't reach the ball at the goal line but when you add in the fact that like hey that's millions of people in your hand that you're about to disappoint that's when it might sink in for you did you ever fuck up and do something I did it a couple times I did it once against the Bills if it works they don for you. Did you ever fuck up and do something? Oh, I did it.
I did it a couple times. I did it once against the Bills.
If it works, they don't care. If it goes the other way, you know.
But I was at a point, you know, I was probably like seven years in, eight years in. Like I would never have tried that within.
And I didn't have any touchdowns at the time in the year, so I was like fiending for a touchdown can you get can you get into the doghouse during a game like has he ever benched you during a game or is it always after watching the film getting the all 22 uh if you fumble and you're a younger player you know they'll they'll they'll put you in the dog house you know but they're pretty good at you know good at – coaches are pretty good at letting you guys play and then working after the game and learning from the tape and then working from there and trying to improve. But I remember – or like a drop if you drop a ball.
Not necessarily the coach. Maybe the quarterback puts you in the doghouse or he doesn't look your way.
Oh, my God. Josh Rosen.
This is awesome. Okay, maybe it's not Josh Rosen.
Who else could it be? Now you're just delusional, Big Cat. I mean, I know he's so bad.
He's so bad. No, it's not him.
Who is that? That was a Josh Rosen. They put that guy in there to make us think.
Oh, it's Felipe Franks. Felipe Franks is the worst quarterback of all time.
I remember betting against Felipe Franks in college was one of my favorite, favorite pastimes. Because he's got a great name, so people think that he should be good.
Oh, yeah. You got the alliteration, everything.
Jules, so how's TV life going for you? Now you're a big-time entertainment mogul working with Ray Lewis.

You started telling a story about Ray Lewis, and I plugged my ears because I was like,

I don't want to hear this.

I want to talk to you about it on the air because it sounded like a good one about how,

I guess, one time, you know, you see him in the hallways.

Everybody gives him respect.

Always.

Probably deservedly so.

But at one point, he actually, he actually injured your ass. Yeah.
I mean, he's knocked me out of a game a couple times. My rookie year in 2009, we were playing in the divisional round where we got blown out by Baltimore.
Ray Rice went for like 76 out the gate in opening drive. And I caught a ball and Ray hit me.
Like he kneed me in my butt. And he hit me so hard.
I had like internal bleed. I had a crazy hematoma where I instantly had to get an IV.
They had to like check my vital systems. I couldn't sit down for like literally three weeks.
I had a full J-Lo butt on my right cheek. Literally, literally like six times the size.
I had to go fly with like a donut because it was the last game of the year. I wanted to go home.
I couldn't fly for like a week. Did they have to drain your ass? No, it's too close to like a certain artery.
I don't know. I think it was close to an artery or something.
Damn. So you were thick.
I was thick. Two C's.
You were all caked up. Three C's.
Two C's. Two C's.
It was nuts. Gnarly.
Rate these wins. Thursday night football, Sunday night football, Monday night football.
That's tough because when you get a Thursday night game, it's tough to play in those games. After playing on a Sunday, you have a short week.
You could be banged up later in the year. So it's always good to get that Thursday night win.
I always liked Monday night football, and then later in my career it became Sunday night football was like the Monday night football but I would go I would probably go with the Thursday night win because then you get a mini bye you get a baby bye afterwards baby bye I like that and then you also have you know it was a short week you don't get actual practice on the field it's all walkthroughs it's mental days so then you you get to show the coaches, hey, guys, we got to win without doing actual on-field work. So they won't make us do work next week.
So maybe, hey, you give us a walkthrough on next Wednesday. Maybe.
Maybe. Would Thursday night games? And sometimes they would.
If they saw it went well, if you had a good Thursday night game and you were kind of banged up, they would give us a Wednesday light walkthrough or a heavy walkthrough where they're kind of like jog throughs. With Thursday night football, from our perspective, and this might be totally wrong, it always feels like Thursday night football, especially late in the season, it's like just do whatever you have to do to win.
No style points. No like, you know, if the game plan calls are just grinding it out, you grind it out.
It's just, it's one of those situations. Is that fair? That's, I would say that's fair.
I mean, you're, you're, it's a completely different week than your teams used to, especially, you know, if you have a young team or a new head coach or any kind of new facet to your organization, like that's tough when you don't get to have that actual muscle memory, what you're, everyone knows the schedule by this time of the year, you know, you're, you're on this body clock, body clock. And then you, you have something completely different.
Right. I mean, football players are creatures of habit.
And anytime you can go get a win on a Thursday, it doesn't matter how it is, you know, it's still nice to get it done it done. So last time you were on the show, you talked about running into Bill and him telling you, if you've got to motherfuck us, then motherfuck us.
Yeah. Because you're an analyst now.
You're a pro. Fool, yeah.
So I want to open up the floor. I know it was a good performance tonight, but including all the games the last time that we talked to you.
You kind of did right after that. I did.
What did you say? It was like the week after, I think, he came on because when they were still kind of going through it. Yeah, but I'm going to give you the opportunity to motherfuck the Patriots.
Well, I can't right now. They're playing pretty solid complementary football.
I don't like the turnover. I don't like a couple of the penalties.
But I guarantee that's what they're going to hear. And like I said, it's a Thursday night game.
Rookie quarterback, I mean, he hit the seam when you know the corners were carrying not slooping they may have had something different in a scouting report and Dean Pease changed it up because Dean Pease played against us and he knows that we're a tendency game plan team so you know there's a there's a whole lot of factors I gotta watch the all 22 oh. Film guy.
I love that. Film guy through and through.

Do you think the Patriots have – are they like – Hank's talking soupy right now.

Is that crazy?

It's early.

It's early.

I mean –

That's very Belichick-y of you, yeah.

It's the truth.

There's so many variables that can happen.

And these next, like, four weeks, this is cream season. This.
This is like when the cream rises, the good teams get really good. You got to hope for the best in the injury department because that'll derail you.
You know, you go out and lose someone, you know, lineman or this or that. You know, it always all has to come together.
They're starting to perform and get better each week. You can tell just through their confidence level how they're playing on offense, defense, and in special teams.
But it's still early. Hank's just nodding his head.
Did you see, by the way, that clip of Mac Jones doing an interview in August versus doing an interview last week? I had one. Oh, Belichick has completely taken over his brain.
The one in August, he's laughing, he's having fun, and then the one last week, it's like the monotone Patriot way. I think he's seen how big this is.
You don't want to go out there and he's probably here and you don't want to give bulletin board material.

Of course, everything this, that, that Bill preaches. But now he's starting to feel like, hey, he's becoming the face of that organization.
So let's just worry about what we have to worry about because that's what they preach all day long. Like they do so much to like basically manipulate your mind into like we have to go work improve have to go work improve so much information that you don't even get to read the press clippings or the twitter this that like there's a lot of like cutting down pruning of the trees over there and and when you're flying high with the patriots you know coach makes it harder it sounds like the best possible version of north korea like if they actually got if they got results they won superbowls yeah if north korea had won six superbowls the last 20 years kim jong-un was walking around with rings and everything would be looked at differently yeah history history smiles upon winners yes And also, it goes back to what you're saying about the football.
When you're giving a press conference, your words carry the weight of the entire organization, everybody in ticket sales, the vendors, everyone that lives in the state of Massachusetts is counting on you to not fumble the ball. Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, half of Connecticut.
So what is New England? Would you say that really far northeastern New York, is that New England? I don't think so, no. That's Buffalo, isn't it? You don't play for them? I mean, if they support, they support.
But I don't play anymore. I'm an analyst.
That's true. Yeah, so speaking of analysts, let's talk about the league overall because you do talk about the whole league.
You watch the film on the whole league. Inside the NFL streaming on Paramount+.
It's one of my favorite shows. It's been one of my favorite shows for a very long time.
Adding jewels just made it even better. That's not because you're a friend, but that's a fact.
So PFT and I had a discussion last week about soft teams. I'm not going to have you call anyone soft, so I'll flip it the other way.
In your estimation, who are the top three toughest teams in terms of physicality, hitting, the way that they play offense and defense? Who are the three teams that you're like, those teams are tough and they play man-on-man football? Right off the top of my head, Tennessee. You can't say the Patriots.
I mean, they're – They are in there, yeah. What defines a tough football team? A hard team.
No, no, this is what defines a tough football team, a physically tough football team from what I was taught from some guy named Bill. A tough football team can run the ball, can stop the run, and can cover kicks.
What teams do that the best? Baltimore, Patriots, Tennessee. Those are three teams that I think of hard, tough football teams.
I'm not saying there's not other teams that are, but right off the top of my head, I'm saying, I mean, look at it. Patriots have two running backs.
They probably just ran for, you know, 160. Lamar and that whole gang over there with Baltimore, they're running the ball.
Everyone runs the ball over they they control the game they stop the their defense comes up with big plays and big situations Tennessee's doing the same thing even when they don't have King Henry so that's what defines a tough football team to me that's what I was always taught someone who could run the ball someone that can stop the run and someone that kicks. That part is interesting to me.
So cover kicks is part of being a tough football team? That's field position. And that's tough.
What about the Cowboys? Ooh. I mean, I wouldn't put them above those guys.
That's not tough. What about the Bucs? Because part of the discussion was when the Bucs play defense, the style of defense they play when they have everyone out there, they seem like a tough football team where, from my perspective, a tough football team is when you're watching and a guy will, like, get stopped at the line of scrimmage and there'll be five defenders tackling them at once.
Like where everyone swarms to the ball on every play yeah I think I think they're a tough football team that that defense is a defense is fast they're sideline to sideline guys but they also can plug the middle and and they can run the ball with Leonard Fournette Jones in the backfield like that's when they play their best football that's when they're going out and winning games setting up the play actions putting themselves in manageable third down so they can use all their weapons and that that that is a tough football team the Colts I think the Colts with Taylor that their defense is is playing real tough right now that's a tough football team you know if Carson just settles down settle down I mean it Carson's having a weird season because he's actually playing well, but the problem is his few interceptions. He's only thrown a couple.
Doy-Doy plays. Doy-Doy.
And they stick out in your brain. You're like, what's going on here? Bad.
Yeah. Bad.
You know what? The Steelers want to be tough. Their defense is tough, and they have a tough coach.
I like Tomlin. He's a tough guy.
But they're not utilizing that run. They're not built for it yet.
What about the other side of the coin? I won't make you say it, but I'll say it. The Rams are soft.
The Rams are a soft football team right now. And part of it, I think, has to do with bringing a bunch of guys in.
That's always got to be hard, right, when you add guys midseason? I mean, they're getting a bad rap right now

just because

they've been lighting it up in the beginning part

of the season and they're on a little skid.

Primetime skid, too, doesn't

help. Yeah.

It's actually a compliment when I call the Rams

soft, in a way, because

they have expectations. They should

be a good team. They've got all the talent

and they've got some very tough players,

but for whatever reason, they're striking me as the S-word.

By definition, what's tough?

Covering kicks, run the football, which they're not doing, right?

Stopping the run.

And then stopping the run.

What do you do to a team that has a lot of guys that like to rush up the field?

You run the football.

You run the football.

You run the football.

So Von Miller, getting that additional, yeah, he can beat a guy one-on-one,

but you also know where he's going to be.

I mean, we'll see.

I haven't got to dig into that tape quite yet.

But those are the teams where you usually run towards those types of guys

because, yeah, on third and long, third down, they know it's a pass play. Those guys pin their ears back and they come after the quarterback and they do a damn good job at it.
But, I mean, if they do that and they have that same intensity, you throw a screen, you run the ball towards them. Do they want to run? Do they want to two-gap and shed a guy when they're trying to get up the field? I mean, that's what you usually do against those kind of DN ends, those DNs.
You saw the weekend before when the Patriots played against Garrett. What'd they do? They slowed him down by running at him.
They slowed him down by throwing screens at him. And that's tough football.
What do you think's wrong with the Chiefs? Or is nothing wrong with the Chiefs? I think they're getting better. I think the Chiefs are getting better.
They're playing smarter football. I think over years of having success, you put a standard out.
And whenever there's any kind of blips or there's any bumps in those roads, everyone wants to just jump ship and say, oh, this team, what's going on? It's just because they've done so well in the last couple years. And we all know, you know, like they have this backyard style football where they go out.
Patrick Mahomes runs around. He finds his guy and makes a miraculous play, which you're like, oh, my God, how'd he make that play? And those plays haven't been going their way this year as much year as much as they want yeah so like the last couple weeks what have they been doing they've been taking care of the football their defense has been very opportunistic and playing situationally very well on a third down but they're also they're they're doing better on first and second down which that creates that third and short where instead of playing that prevent defense that everyone's playing on them when you're in third and 10 and you're putting two guys on Kelsey, you're putting a safety over Hill and for whatever reasons, the other guys aren't doing what they're doing or Patrick may not trust them right now or something like that.
But when you have it in third and manageable third and short, then they've got to play the sticks. And then you can start hitting those deep patterns, and they're finding their way.
They're creating these screens. They're doing a bunch of reverses, try to get better situational play in the first and second down, which we saw these last couple weeks.
So it'll be huge for them when they get Allaire back this week, and hopefully they use him. Yeah, E-Lair.
Allaire. E-Lair.
E-Lair. Jake? It's kind of like a Claire.
Hilaire? I think it's E. One of Jake's all-time biggest fuck-ups.
Clyde Edwards, E-Lair. F-U-C-K-Ups.
What did I say, E-Lair? No, he said Hilaire last year. Before I checked.
If I was calling his game, I would have prepped properly.

Yeah, that's true.

Correct.

It's Hilaire.

Hilaire.

Hilaire.

How's felt?

I think it's H-E-L-A-I-R-E.

It's French.

It's like Cajun almost.

Yes.

What about another team I think is pretty hard?

The Green Bay Packers.

They actually are a hard team.

I mean, they just lost Jones, though.

That's going to hurt.

And Bortles.

Yeah.

Was Bortles there?

Yeah, he was there.

The Boat?

Yeah, they brought him hard team. I mean, they just lost Jones, though.
That's going to hurt. And Bortles.
Yeah. Was Bortles there? Yeah, he was there.
The boat? Yeah, they brought him in because he had the Seahawks playbook, and then they cut him loose like yesterday's trash. But, yeah, they're losing their running back.
Their defense is playing lights out right now. They're playing tough football, and I would define them as a tough team.
Yeah, and the backup running back might be harder than their starting running back. What's his name again? A.J.
Dillon. A.J.
Dillon. He had a good game last week.
Yeah, his quads. He's big.
Yeah, same. Big legs.
Big boy. All right, so let's finish with this.
Well, two things. One is, have you changed your Super Bowl prediction? I said Bills.
I'm giving you a chance to change your Super Bowl prediction. And Green Bay.
Okay. Have you changed it? No, not yet.
Okay. Not yet.
Not yet. I mean.
I like it. I'm going to ride with the Bills.
I mean, I got to start seeing some things. I got to start seeing.
The offense needs to start getting it going. Come on, Skee-Ball.
That's Day-Ball, the OC over there. Skee-Ball? Yeah, he's bald, so we used to call him Skee-Ball.
Did he ever get you with an Imagine Dragons or a D's Nuts joke? Always. What was it? Do you remember any of his good ones? No, but he would do...
He would literally... It was dad jokey when he would do it, though.
Like, you know what I mean? Like, he'd try ski. You've already said it every day.
I've heard them all. One last question about the Patriots.
Would you say that maybe a knock against them right now is they don't have any real weapons on offense? I think they do have weapons. I think they have a lot of weapons.
The addition of Henry has been really good.

He seems to become like a red area target for Mack.

Aguilar, he had a big catch last week, the touchdown on the seam.

Or was that not?

He had a touchdown tonight too.

Tonight on the zone, you're seeing his speed.

Jacoby, he's doing very well on third down.

I mean, he's a really good football player, good route runner.

Aguilar, Nelson, I mean, they got some weapons.

I like when you say red area.

I'm going to start doing that now.

That's what they call it.

Yeah, that's how you know that a guy's played football,

is like a small change in dialogue.

Because you don't say red zone.

I've never heard you say red zone. Yeah, that's what we used to call it.
Red area. The red area.
Red area offense. It sounds a lot cooler that way.
It's like I'm pretty sure Bob Diacchio, who the civil conflict is this weekend, I think he tried to start calling it the blue zone, and it was like 22. Yeah, the 22-yard line in.
That's really where you judge a team's offense. That's when you're really changing things.
So technically from the 35 to the 20, they call that the fringe. Oh.
Okay. What about from 35 to 35 midfield? You're in other people's territory.
The middle eights? The middle eight? You preach that? You'll see a lot of teams when they hit that fringe, and some teams even count it to like the 40.

You'll see the fringe shot on first down.

That's like the old classic Bill Cowher, which I miss.

Every time they would get the ball over the 50-yard line,

it'd be a trick play.

Fringe shot.

Yeah, it's like, boom, Antoine Randwell, you're up.

Last thing, have you gone out with Billy yet? Because I know last time you were here, you guys were plan on going out i was in la for two weeks so what the fuck i gotta i gotta bring my guy out get him out of hoboken do you think that billy like could hang with you yeah dude like going to a club you think billy could hang i don't go to clubs clubs i go to like but so the club though not the club club but the club oh in the club well you don't go to club clubs but you go to like... So the club, though.
Not the club club, but the club. Oh, in the club.
Well, you don't go to club clubs, but you go to clubs. No, I go to like restaurants.
Oh, okay. Would Billy be a good restaurant guy? No.
You'd have to order for him. He would want to order extra to bring it home with him.
We'll get you a doggy bag, buddy. Yeah.
Always. Oh, last question.
There's a guy on Twitter who is called PMT Commentator.

I think I follow him.

Commentator PMT.

And he said that, Jules, you DMed with him for an entire season thinking it was PFT.

100% true.

What was he saying?

I don't even remember.

I was like, yeah, that was funny about this one take. All right, so he says.
Fully. Full true.
He said, I don't know how you're doing, Bubs. I was catfished.
He responded, football's back. Best time of year.
Stay safe. Best of luck.
I would say that. Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know. I think you would say that.
Commentator PMT. Yeah, commentator PMT.
Not a big reader. Not a big book guy.
No, respect. For the entire season, Jules DM'd with him.
I kept on thinking, like, why is this guy not verified? Yeah, right? He said that. Yeah, I know.
He's fucked up. They made me get a check.
Right after the Super Bowl against the Rams, he started a dialogue with you, and you thought Piazzi. Fool.
That's amazing.

Shout out that guy.

That's a legendary move by that guy. I give that guy permission to DM anybody.

Listen, I'm not going to be a narc.

He actually said he's not going to be a narc, so he shared one DM,

but it seemed like he played it respectable.

Which is Avatar?

Is it part of my take or is it mine?

It's you with Nick Cage over your face and then me behind it okay maybe it's arthur smith it might be arthur smith but either way he actually like that that guy he catfish you but he was he was cool about it like he wasn't an asshole about it so shout out he was cool yeah he was he was just like a fan of yours look at vannoy he's He's just doing the post game. Well, because he's high stepping after that pick from Josh Rosen.
That post game's got to feel pretty sick when you're like, oh, I'm going to come sit here in all my gear and just be like, I won this game. This is awesome.
It depends on which crew you're with. Yeah.
Joe Thomas, meme stealer. I would just want to go home.
Joe Thomas had a thing out for us. I did an interview with him once, and I'm like, dude.
I like Joe Thomas badger for life, but yeah, he stole a meme from me. What did he do to ruffle your feathers? He just kept on saying, like, the Patriots.
You guys are... I don't know.
He just... He's probably a nice guy.
You sound like Hank right now. Yeah, he said, no, he said the Patriots.
I mean, it's coming from inside the organization like that. I just felt like everything's a slight.
He looked down on us. It's not like a conspiracy theory.
It's not like it's some random fan sitting on the couch. Like, you guys don't have fun.
Yeah, the Browns had a lot of fun.

Joe's a really good guy.

He is.

He's a great analyst.

He also is fucking ripped now.

Like crazy ripped.

He's pretty.

His abs are better than yours.

Oh, I think you're getting a little soft.

You are.

Hank's going to get abs, by the way.

Hank's going to show you up. Here's all I'm going to say is I noticed that when Frank's birthday came up.
Oh, look, were there some jewels? We had some Edelman's dogs. Yeah, some fans in the stands with the Edelman jersey.
When Frank's birthday came up, Frank is Julian Edelman's dad, you did a throwback post of your abs, not a current date post. I wasn't with my dad.
Okay, but I'm just saying. You're now like your Raya account has like an old picture of you, like with a Super Bowl.
Yeah, you're catfishing people now. You haven't played in a league in a year, dude.
Fool out. Fool has been.
You're still fucking holding on to the glory days. If you do get in the Hall of Fame, you should make sure that your bust goes down to the waist and you have a six-pack.
And then when they put the shirt on you, you're not wearing any shirt or the jacket. You're not wearing a shirt underneath.
That would be tight. That would be tight.
If you go to the Hall of Fame, we're not going to get crazy. What? We're not going to get crazy.
I wasn't going to say we're going to introduce you. I was.
The night before the E-throw, let us make a toast. I mean, 22 for 26.
Let us make a toast. Please, let us make a toast.
Pretty good. Is that fair? I mean, technically 23, you got a pick, so you threw it to someone.
That's fair. Let us make a toast.
All right, well, Jules, this has been awesome. Always.
You got to do it one more time before Christmas, so in a month. Hanukkah.
Well, Hanukkah's coming up before Christmas. 28th.
Yeah, so we got to do it, though, before the Christmas break. We'll have you come back for a Thursday

night game. People really do love this.
I love it. So thank you.
I do, too, guys. You

guys are always fun to hang out with. Hank, any last words? No.
Snoopy. See you soon,

L.A. Well, I guess I'll see you here in a week, in a month.
A month, yeah. If you guys

come out to L.A., let me know. I'm out there.
Well, we will be there for the Super Bowl. Me, you, Billy, Soho House? Yeah.
Downtown? Yes, video. That's a video series.
You can't do video in there, dude. Put some fucking GoPros on him.
Put a GoPro on Billy. What's the deal with LA? Are you allowed to drive a car in LA? Yeah.
You are? Still? No, why wouldn't you? You don't have any outstanding issues you gotta take care of out there? You know that was a citizen's arrest. What? It wasn't even a real arrest.
You got arrested by a fake cop. Wow, you're not top.
Basically, Billy arrested you. Some guy waved a cop down after I did a hood slide, like a Starsky and Hutch hood slide.
Everyone thinks I jumped on a car and was like wrecking it like i walked by a car i thought it was one of my buddies and i do like a starsky and hutch like hood slide like swipe it on it guy gets out of his car and waves down a cop he's like hey this guy and there was a robbery right next door so we were locked up in this restaurant for like four hours so they caution taped all this area off and i sit there and it's me paul pearson fucking or in a mandola and we were you know drinking stuff having a good old time and as soon as we get out we were talking about starski and hutch and i was like hey guys and i do like a starski and hutch slide and then later i'm getting cuffed up that's bullshit bullshit. That's classic California.
They don't understand the hood slide. All right, Jules, thank you.

I'm sad that it's already week 11.

I have to just say it.

I just have to say it.

I know that everyone doesn't like when I do this,

but I want to remind people that the football season is fleeting.

It's an hourglass, and when college football has two regular season weeks left,

the hourglass of time is – I don't even know what the end of that saying is.

The sands of time are slipping through our fingers like sand through an hourglass of time is... I don't even know what the end of that saying is.
The sands of time are slipping through our fingers. There it is.
Like sand through an hourglass. How do you like that analogy? That's good.
Spin zone, we only have seven more Houston Texans games to watch. So that's cool.
That was such a nice little Sunday that we had last week when the Texans were never on our programs. Yeah, and the Bears.
It's nice to have the Bears involved. Shout out Matt Nagy, by the way.
I don't know if I'm sure you guys saw, but his quote today where he said, no one's to blame but everyone. Yeah.
For the Bears losing streak. That's a true leader.
I think actually, I think General Patton said that. The spin zone is like, it's saying he's part of that.
He's included in that. So he's saying like it's literally everyone's fault.

It's mine too. If you look

at it from a global perspective in the

butterfly effect, how every single

thing causes every other thing to happen,

he's right. Everybody that has

ever lived on planet Earth is

directly responsible in some way for the Bears

record. It's no one's fault other

than everybody's. That is a

true leader right there. That's a guy who's willing to stand up in front of everyone and say hey guys it's everyone's fault which is essentially saying it is my fault i just can't stomach to say it because i know i'm a failure and a buffoon and everyone hopes i get fired yeah he when he talks to the media i've noticed this about matt nagy he sounds like if buddha was really depressed buddha ben no he sounds like the buddha the buddha like the guy in charge of uh of the entire religion yeah um if like the dalai lama woke up one day and was just really sad he's and his entire life teachings developed a more nihilistic point of view he's like a uh if veep met nfl football like he's Like every time he gets in front of the press, he walks off.
He's like, I nailed that. You see that? You see that what I did there? I got my seat a little cooler because I blamed everyone.
He's like if Charlie Brown eventually got to kick the football in the time that it did, it bounced off two uprights. Yeah, fuck, man.
i it was nice to have a weekend off we'll get to those games but uh i just thought that was a really a testament to his leadership to blame everyone no one but everyone it's everyone all right standings jake it is chaos chaos hank has a nice lead two and a half games up on you big cat at 22 and 18 and then four way tie between all wait so four way tie and then Liam's in last nope you're in second oh I'm in second so I'm on the trip the rest of us have a four way tie so we gotta do rock paper scissors all four of us you gotta go odds are even should we do one and two no yeah odds are even you go one two three shoot you or a two. Whoever's the odd man out is out.
Yeah. And then you keep doing it until there's...
One, two, three, shoot. No, he threw a three up.
It's not. But it's not.
Yeah, but it's one or two. Why can't I put a three in? Just do a one or a two.
That's bullshit. I should be able to...
Just do a one or a two. It's very easy.
One or a two. Ready? What about zero? Nope.
Just go one or two. One, two, three, shoot.
Okay. Billy is out.
Okay. Now it's the three of you.
Is that it? Because we're looking for a loser. But he won.
Yeah, he got it right. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. So, yeah.
Go again. One, two, three, shoot.
PFT's out. Nice.
So now it's rock, paper, scissors, shoot between Liam and Jakeake this is all very interesting rock paper scissors subscribe to the youtube rock paper scissors shoot tie three times in a row shoot all right bob bubble one so jake and i are going on a trip to la yeah wow that sounds like. That would be really fun.
Two-man wolf pack. We just fucking have a great time.
We'll talk some college ball. Which, by the way, can we get a quick review of Indiana? Yeah, it was fantastic.
We got to it in my Fyre Fest a little bit later. The Imagine Dragons? Yeah.
That's brutal. You got Imagine Dragon? He got Imagine Dragon in IRL.
Jake, you got to be better than that. All right, we'll talk about it.
You spend enough time around Billy to not fall for these nuts jokes. Yeah, we'll talk about it on FireFest.
All right. No, it was awesome.
So it is getting tight. So everyone's above 500? Yeah, we're sharp.
That's incredible. It's easy to bet on the NFL.
We were at 19-5 last week. Wow.
Incredible. That means we're going to be a bloodbath this week.
Like I said, that trend went undefeated last week. The trend of betting on teams that did not cover the spread against teams that did cover the spread.
So just want to highlight, since that trend is on such a hot streak this year, the games that do fall under that category, it would be tonight's game. Yep.
The Ravens against the Falcons and the Patriots, which we've already talked about.

And then you've got the Browns minus 11 over the Lions.

And then you have the Jets plus 3.5 against the Dolphins,

the Colts plus 7 against the Bills.

So if you're looking to bet that trend, those are the games that you need to follow.

Okay, great.

I mean, it makes sense.

The trend definitely makes sense.

Just go counter what everyone thinks is the way things are going to go. All right, let's do it.
Let's talk about the games. Let's do some preview.
Hank, your first favorite. I love every dog this weekend, by the way, which means that's a bloodbath.
That's scary. I feel a bloodbath coming.
I'm just going to say it. I'm going to get it out of the way.
I've been running a little hot. Blood bath.
Whenever I start to get a little hot, everything falls apart. And the dogs have been red hot.
Yeah. So, blood bath.
Kyler Murray's not playing, correct? We do not know yet. Not sure.
He's your favorite. He is spending 27 hours a day rehabbing to try to one-up Russell Wilson.
I think the Seahawks looked so bad last week, and the Cardinals won anyway, despite the fact that he's not playing.

So whether or not he's playing... Well, they didn't last week.

The Cardinals got their shit pushed in by the Panthers.

Oh, shit. You're right.

I'm still taking them.

Cardinals minus two.

Stick with it.

I like it. I like it.

Bubba, let's talk about this game real quick.

So this is definitely...

The Seahawks look so bad.

This would be the end of their season, though. They have to win this game.
3-7, going 3-7 if they lose this game, there's zero margin for error to come back and get a playoff spot. So D.K.
Metcalf not suspended for this game despite being ejected twice in last week's game. I like the Seahawks in it.
I really do because if Kyler doesn't play, we already had the good Colt McCoy game. Strievler, he's a unit.
Yep. But he's that quintessential guy that can make some noise in the CFL.
But when he plays actual football on a field that uses yards instead of meters, he looks so out of place. My big thing with this game is it feels like everyone is writing off not just the Seahawks, but an era.
So when you have an era ending, the Pete Carroll, the Russell Wilson era, it feels like you've got to take the Seahawks. Because you don't lose end-of-an-era games.
You could, though, and then that is the end of the era. Right, but you can lose them in the playoffs.
I think you rally the troops to win them in the regular season. I think that you mostly defined end of an era as a season at large.

So I don't know if there's...

It would have to be a more important game, I think,

to be an end of an era game.

Can I change my pick?

This is an end of an era game because if they lose,

they probably won't make the playoffs, therefore end of an era.

It's indicative of what the season could become.

Could be an era game.

I want to change my pick.

What?

Yeah.

Okay.

Are you going to flip it?

Are you going to...

I'm not going to flip it.

Oh, you can't blame me.

I'm not blaming you.

This is my decision.

Hand up.

Buck starts with me.

But I am going to flip it to the 49ers.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

I don't want to risk the injury thing.

And for some reason, I thought they won last week because I'm a moron.

So that logic just went right out the window, and I hated that pick.

Now, you remember Cam Newton was back last week.

Yeah, I'm confirmed a moron. That Niners-Jags game scares me.
Six and a half. So you're taking Niners minus six and a half.
It just scares me because the Jags have been flirting. I'm so mad at that team.
I'm also not a favorites guy. They should have just quit, and they haven't quit, and now I have to just figure out what's going on.
Beat the Bills. They hung in against the Colts.
Maybe they're the team no one wants to play. They quit too early.
That's the problem with the Jaguars. They found their second win.
They're going to quit again. This could be the game that would make – this would be the end of the Urban Meyer era if Kyle Shanahan comes in from the West Coast.
Just run all over them. And just stomps them.
And Kyle Shanahan, have you guys noticed, he looks like 30 years older this season than he did in the past? I don't know what it is. He's got the gray hair now.
He's got the gray beard. He looks skinnier.
It's also like fucked my head up, whoever made the analogy that he looks like Kendall Roy, because then I just, I now associate all of Kendall Roy's characteristics with Kyle Shanahan sitting in a meeting

being like,

I want my Twitter to be off the hook.

Yeah.

Or if his dad,

if Logan Roy was just like dark,

dark red all the time.

Yeah, Mike Shanahan,

Logan Roy.

If he had a better tan.

Yes.

All right, Bubba, your favorite.

I'm going back with the Bills,

minus seven.

Ooh.

Yeah, I took him last year.

Playoff matchup from last year.

Bubba, I don't know if you know this, we're discounting the Bills as a bit on this show. Yeah, it was a bit.
It was a total bit. Does that change your pick? Everyone should have to change one pick this week.
No. This is a great slate of games, and this one is a true, like, what are these teams? Because if the Colts win, it's going to be like oh fuck, the Colts might be real in the AFC and if the Bills win people can kind of calm down about the Bills and not looking great the last few weeks.
Although they killed the they clowned the Jets last week. We kind of fucked up though because we forgot about the Colts hard knocks.
I think you only watch it if you're a die hard fan of the Colts. Wait, is it going on right now? It happened like two nights ago.
No, it happened, I want to say it was last night because I had a bunch of people being like, how are you not watching Hard Knocks? Well, dude, Maxion's on, like college basketball's on, I'm sorry, like NBA's on, I can't watch Carson Wentz walk around and not say anything for an hour and a half. I think that's going to be one of those shows that I just watch strictly through the lens of the memes that come out of that show.
I'm going to piece together what happens in the show by the still frames that I see posted online the next day. And as far as I can tell, the big takeaway is that Jim Irsay just got up there and started banging on the table and singing, We Will Rock You after a game, like just screaming at the top of his lungs.
I like that. And it was awesome.
It looked like the coolest scene ever. Again, I didn't watch it.
But I'm in favor of Jim Irsay singing at any point. All-time shaft or tweet to think that people were like, remember when he was like, there's big breaking news coming.
The Colts are going to have hard knocks in the middle of the season. The series that we all have kind of been over for a few years now, let's do more of it when

there's actual football on and we don't have to watch HBO shows and be like, oh, fuck,

I wish there were football.

Yeah, that's a no for me, dog.

The other thing that I saw was-

You like that, Hank?

Yeah, it was good.

A little exhibit?

Frank-

Was that an exhibit?

No, no, yeah, that's a no for me, dog.

Randy Jackson.

What was exhibits? Oh, you like Carson Wentz's? Well, I made you a football team completely out of Carson Wentz. Yes, yes.
I made you a football team out of ducks. Yeah.
Carson Wentz. Oh, you like fish? I made your entire stadium out of an aquarium.
They were talking about, that's exactly what Kyle Shanahan does with fullbacks on his team. I made the entire plan out of the black box.
Frank Reich scouted Carson Wentz. I also saw this in a meme from Hard Knocks last night.
He scouted him by giving all the quarterbacks problem-solving and IQ tests during the draft. Like online ones.
I assume they're the ones that you just get in your email. Like, play this IQ test for free here.
And so he had them take the test twice, and the second time that they took it,

he just started screaming at them and spitting on them

and throwing hats and shit across the room and telling them that they sucked.

Carson Wentz is the only quarterback that he scouted that got better the second time

when everybody was yelling at him.

So you can just basically throw that entire way of scouting a quarterback out the window

based on how he plays.

Absolutely.

All right, your favorite PFT. My favorite favorite is going to...
I'm going to go with the system. I'm riding the deep numbers on this one.
I'm going the Browns minus 11 over the Lions. Maybe not Jared Goff.
We might see David Blau. We might see...
No, there's... Actually, David Blau, I think, is hurt, too.
We might see line, line, line. There's a different Lions quarterback.
I don't know who the backup backup on the Lions is. Lions quarterbacks.
I want to say Tim Boyle. So he's on the IR.
Yeah, but I think he just got off the IR. I think Tim Boyle might be the one who's going to play.
Yeah, he took first team reps. So Tim Boyle.
Where do I know that name from? He was a Packers backup. Tim Boyle.
Tim Boyle. Watch out for Tim Boyle.
I'm going to go ahead and stake my career on betting against Tim Boyle if he is starting. Yes.
Former UConn Husky Tim Boyle. UConn Huskies playing for the Lions, not turning off in hotel rooms.
I'm just saying. There's a history.
Just in general, UConn, the only two teams that you've played for are UConn and the Detroit Lions. Oh, he did play for the Packers.
Did he start, though? Did he start any games for them? He has not. He has 15 yards passing in his career.
Okay. Yep.
I'm going to go ahead and bet against Tim Boyle. 15 yards.
Three for four. Jerry Goff has an injured oblique, so that explains how he's performed this year.

He's been playing hurt out there.

So congratulations, Jerry Goff.

You're a tough guy.

Dan Campbell's probably just going to, if he's still calling the plays,

he's going to run the ball 40 times this week.

Yes.

Tim Boyles, career stats in the NFL.

2019 is the only time that he had stats. Oh, no, he had some in 2022.

But 2019, three for four, 15 yards, five rushing attempts, minus 7 yards, 1 fumble. Don't like it.
Lighting it up. Don't like it.
Tim Boyle. So I love the Browns this week.
Alright, my favorite is going to be the Raiders minus 1. Raiders minus 1 they have been bad recently.
Bengals off a bye okay, that's fine. I think this is a line in the sand game for both of these teams who can keep their season going forward.
I'm going to say the Raiders. I'm going to say Rich Basikius got one more foxhole moment in him.
They got their ass kicked by the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Everyone last saw that.
Raiders minus one. Give it to me.
Okay. I think I like the Bengals in this one, but not enough to bet on.
Yeah. I just, I think Rich Pasicki's got one more.
He's got one more rally the troops. I do love that John Gruden is actually going through with a lawsuit against Roger Goodell for being an anti-football pussy.
Yeah. Really, he should just file a lawsuit that says that as the title of it.
Get it thrown out the first day, but just have it be a matter of public record that Goodell is an anti-football P-word. That would be great if Goodell had to prove that he wasn't an anti-football pussy.
Billy. Going with the Buccaneers minus 11.
Billy, are you eating right now? Oh, yeah. No, this is just one of the part of my biggies.
Oh, from Barstool Bites app. Yeah, I mean, it's amazing.
It's a great sandwich. Hell, yes.
Barstool Bites app. Go check it out right now.
We got everything. We got pardon my biggie.
We got a bunch of White Sox Dave's chicken wing bucket is my personal favorite. Go right now if you want to eat some food.
The buff chick dip is my personal favorite. The buff chick dip is very very good and the chips that come with it are

Awesome, awesome menu items. Perfect, perfect football menu right to your door.
Okay, so Billy, you have the Bucs. Minus 11? Daniel Jones, you know they are wearing their Color Rush white uniforms.
Did you know that? I did not, but I don't think the Giants have ever performed well in their Color Rush. Is that true? Statistically, maybe.
Isn't this where he got his first win? He did. He sure is.
Yes, he did. He did.
Saquon might be back? Might be back, but the reason I'm saying this is because last week Tom Brady had a one-minute press conference and basically was pissed off as fuck. This week, I don't think he's going to let that happen again.
And if you remember last year, there was a Buccaneers-Giants game that was way too close for comfort for the Bucs. Yep.
And I think he's going to avenge that. Yes, that was also a Monday Night Football game.
Giants against Tom Brady in general. Yeah.
Bad history for him. So he's going to be pissed off.
Might press a little bit. Do we know, is AB coming back? Most important player.
Is he coming back to that offense? Because that's a big difference. Are you trying to win this game? Not really.
Okay. Not really.
Not really. If you did, it would be okay, but you're not really.
Okay, got it. Jake, your favorite.
I'm taking the Ravens minus five against your Bears. Only off this stat.
I think I did it a few weeks ago. The Bears are going to win.
As a starter, Lamar Jackson, 13-0 in the regular season when playing on shorter rests against the team's opponent. The thing that's going to make me most mad, I'm pre-mad about the Bears, is that the Dolphins, I don't want to say there's a blueprint to beating the Ravens, but the Dolphins did blitz the hell out of Lamar Jackson and made it very difficult.
And it seems like that's probably the way, instead of dropping everyone back in coverage and letting Lamar Jackson just be faster than everyone, maybe put some pressure on him, play some offense with your defense, the Bears probably watch that game and they're like, nah, we're going to beat them our way. They played a lot of cover zero against him, so I don't know if the Bears are going to follow up on that.
No, they won't. Anything smart, they won't do.
Another important thing to note is that Lamar Jackson has been out two days this week with diarrhea. Again, he's the most the most diarrhea quarterback in the nfl and he always plays great he plays lighter yeah when he's had diarrhea so this is a big time intestinal bug issue for uh for the ravens and for lamar jackson so i'm gonna bet on lamar jackson yeah i uh i'm not i'm not very excited about this game i just want justin fields to look good uh but yeah it was a nice break, not having the Bears on Sunday.
Could kind of just clear your mind and not have that anxiety. I also think there's a decent chance that every time Lamar Jackson says he has diarrhea during the week, it's just Harbaugh giving him a couple days off just to rest him up, which is smart.
In fact, I think there will eventually be a coach, if your team's talented enough, you'll find a coach that gives his players off training camp for the most part like he's good players yeah and just be like hey we're gonna put you on the injury report just so you don't have to practice and risk an injury you have to have veterans on the team obviously to do that and i think it's probably more important to have the offensive and defensive lines play together in actual you know contact situations than it is for some of the other guys like a a wide receiver, a running back, or a quarterback especially.

He might just be lying.

He's like, hey, Lamar, just FYI, as long as you're not embarrassed,

we're going to say that you got diarrhea again this week.

It's kind of what they do with Gronk.

I feel like they give him weeks off.

Why would you want to push someone?

Why would you make him practice all the time if he knows the offense

and he runs the first team anyway?

Give him that extra break.

I agree. Hank, you're underdog you like them all i don't like them all this week i'll probably take them all this week though because i love my underdogs uh you don't like them individually you love the concept of them in theory they're beautiful yeah i mean what happens you guys know it's like you look at your picks all week, and then when it comes time to actually man up, sign into your account, and make those picks, I just, I see that plus sign, I see the...
Blackout. And I black out.
When in doubt, I usually just don't bet it or bet the over-under because betting favorites are just for suckers. With that being said, I did like the Lions.
Again, I'm probably going to go 0-4 this week because I got talked out of the Cardinals. You did not.
No, I'm saying not. You did.
You guys didn't force me to do it. You talked yourself.
You guys talked it out loud, and I talked me out of it. An error game is very important.
The same thing happened with the Lions because I was going to take the Lions, but I can't after going through those stats. I just can't

in good faith do it. So I'm going to

audible here and go with

the Jets, New York Jets. They've

gotten absolutely shit pumped, embarrassed.

Joe Flacco.

They cannot play as bad as

they've played. Rex Ryan gave

him some bulletin board material. Robert Sala.

And yeah, Water always finds its level. They've literally been the worst team maybe in the history of football the last few weeks.
Clowned left and right. Billy, how are you feeling about your Jets this weekend? They're also my underdog.
Oh, there we go. I've got them just for the Flacco factor.
Oh, you got Flacco coming back. Here we go.
Flacco is ready to go. See, the thing about Joe Flacco is he admitted he was not vaccinated, but he said, I don't want it to be a story.
And the media was just like, okay, we just won't make this a story since he asked so polite. I think Joe Flacco was just saying a lot of people need boosters.
People who are immunocompromised need to have their lives saved out there. Let them go first.
So I'm not going to jump the line. I'm Joe Flacco.
I will actually go out there and save lives. Like Bryson DeChambeau.
Exactly. Now, I do think that Joe Flacco, even before this year, we talk about the most sackable quarterbacks in the NFL, and this year it's probably, what, Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins.
Joe Flacco immediately jumps to the top of that list. He's an old-school quarterback in that he wears cement boots.
Yeah. Even when he was fast, he was slow.
Yeah, when quarterbacking used to be all like, hey, if you have a rocket arm, it doesn't matter that you can't move. The position has changed, but Joe Flacco persists, and I'm excited to watch Joe Flacco.
I just think that Flacco is a guy that will get a couple pass interference calls in this game. That's what he does when he takes shots actually.
He usually ends up on the better side of it because he gets a lucky flag. But yeah, Joe Flacco, is he elite? We'll find out.
Alright, so three out of six of us are on the Jets plus three and a half. Bubba, you're underdog.
I'm going with the Bengals. Ooh, okay.

Over the Raiders.

Yes, yes.

Great color matchup between these two teams, by the way.

Absolutely. Also, shout out UCLA-USC, meaning nothing this weekend,

but that is the GOAT of uniform matchups.

Yeah.

Are those the most arrested teams, the Bengals and the Raiders,

throughout league history?

They've got to be, yeah.

Yeah, somebody run those stats. I'd like to see them.
The Bontez Perfect Bowl. Yeah, exactly.
It's true. Revenge game against himself.
Yeah. Alright, I'm gonna go with the Seahawks.
End of an era. I'm gonna take Seahawks plus two.
They just can't... They can't be as bad as they were and it looks like they were very, very bad.
Their defense actually has played a little bit better but but I'm just betting on Russell Wilson figuring out a way. Doesn't he seem like the guy? He's not going to suck two weeks in a row, is he? Unless he happened to re-injure his finger by coming back like three weeks early.
Mr. Unlimited? Which is an issue.
Yeah, I mean, he says that he's getting treatment. He's waking up at, what, 5 a.m.
to start treatment on his finger? He's not sleeping. What can you do to your finger to get treatment to make it heal faster? Besides, obviously, soaking it in concussion water.
Cracking your knuckles. That's probably it.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know what he could possibly be doing, like getting a finger massage.
Shout out to kid in every grade school that would crack their knuckles endlessly. That was always gross.
You were a knuckle cracker? No, I'm a knuckle cracker, but you know what I'm talking about there was always one kid who would do it like non-stop and it was like all right dude we get it you can crack your knuckles i used to have a back trick that would freak people out yeah i see it blow it out i do this yeah blow it out oh no be careful oh my god but that's not it's not i'm like doing this David fucking I would just do that in class

Like when I was born

And like people next to me that didn't see it, they'd be like, what the fuck? Oh my God. You can do it with your neck too? Yeah.
No, you know what I'm saying. The one kid who just, he would always crack his knuckles just nonstop.
Yeah, that's me. It is? Yeah, I do it all the time.
And it's gross. Yeah, it is gross.
Also, the person who gets totally grossed out by it, and like makes scene when I ever do it. I wouldn't get grossed out about it.
That's big cash. No, actually, it was just the guy who did it too much.
Like Liam. I was agnostic towards it.
I was like, oh, there's the weirdo doing the knuckle crack thing again. I crack my knuckles.
I like cracking my knuckles. But the kid and Bubba, you can speak to this.
It's like they crack their knuckles and then they can still crack it. Like if I crack my knuckles, they're cracked for the day.
Yeah, no, I can do it at like any point. Yeah, right.
Like I don't know why. Okay, yeah, that's weird.
Like if I crack my knuckles, it's cracked for the day. Done.
Bubba's just cracking all the time. He's cracking it.
All right. Billy, you have your underdog, Jake.
Taking the Saints plus two against the Eagles because Trevor Simeon's a Manning. And he addressed it publicly.
He did. So what did he say exactly? He's like, I've heard this.
Yeah, he said he's heard it before. I love it.
I love it. I also, this game reminds me of what happened.
PFT, you have a better memory than me. In 2014.
Fact check. False.
The Saints-Eagles. Did something happen with the TV during that game? The playoff game? I don't know.
Did I make that up? I don't know if anything happened with the TV, but was that the game that Sean Payton game-planned like two weeks in advance? Or the one where he went ahead and he game-planned if they would play against the Eagles after they lost? No, I'm talking about 2014. Nick Foles.
The season he went 27 touchdowns, two interceptions. I don't know why it popped in my head when I was looking at the slate.
I want to say the TVs went out, and maybe it was just a personal problem for like 10 minutes. Every TV in the world? I want to say.
I think maybe you didn't pay your bill. Yeah, that sounds like a personal.
Yeah, maybe it was a personal. Maybe it was just in Chicago.
I don't know. Someone will correct me.
Something happened. Mick Foles, though, going 27-2 that year is still incredible.
I think simultaneously everybody just threw something at their television because they couldn't believe that Nick Foles was actually good. Saints, Eagles, television malfunction.
All right, go ahead, Hank, your favorite over. My favorite over is the...
What do I have on my list? Yeah, I made this up. It definitely was my own TV.
Ah, the Saints. Okay.
Sean Payton, by the way, is going nuclear on Commissioner Goodell right now. Saints, Eagles, over 43.
Good. Fuck Roger Goodell.
He's doing the thing that Sean Payton loves to do because they did get fucked on that roughing the passer call last week. So fucked.
The Ryan Tannehill call. Oh, I thought you were talking about the Rams one.
Oh, yeah. I mean, the Saints just always get fucked.
Yes. It's Roger Goodell's favorite pastime.

In fact, Sean Payne should join in as a co-signer on John Gruden's lawsuit.

A Saints-Patriots Super Bowl would be like the ultimate Arnold and Carl Weathers handshaking

meme.

It'd be a tie.

Wow.

That would be the first tie.

Who would you like to face in the soupy?

Who would I like to face? Yeah. Well, I mean, obviously you'd be like, yeah, you'd love to face, I don't know, the Lions.
Yeah, the fun team to take down. I mean, the Packers would be fun.
That would be a wild soupy. Yeah.
I mean, the Bucs. No, not the Bucs.
Oh, that's the answer. That's the answer.
That's the answer, stupid. Hank, you know what? That tells me everything I need to know.
That's the answer. That tells me everything I need to know, Hank, because you're scared of Tom Brady.
That would be the best. No, you're not super ready.
It's literally like when, you know, like the Watt brothers face off against each other and the parents have to watch. I'm an idiot for even like not, of course that's the answer.
I would root for the Patriots, but it would, every other team, it's all like, it'd be all joy if we won. No sadness.
Fuck the other team. If we beat

the Bucs, it would be like, you know.

You're not soup ready. If you don't have the confidence

to say, like, we want to beat the best.

You literally don't know the first thing about soup.

I've won two Super Bowls.

Don't tell me what's soup ready or not soup ready.

I've got two soups in my lifetime.

When you were, like, three?

Yeah, two and

five, I believe.

Soupy. Yeah, it's soup season.

Don't even talk to me about soupies. I know that Hank

Thank you. in my lifetime.
When you were like three? Yeah, two and five, I believe. Yeah, soupy.
Yeah, it's soup season. Don't even talk to me about soupies.
I know that Hank pretends to be confident, like, oh yeah, we're ready for the Super Bowl this year, but I can tell that you're not because you're afraid of playing against another team in it. Yeah, I wouldn't want to play the Bucs.
All right, you're over. Wait, what was your over? Saints-Eagles.
Saints-Eagles. All right.
Bubba. Chiefs and Cowboys over 55 and a half.

Yes.

That's going to be the fun one.

Let's go.

It's 55 and a half.

Just changed.

I don't care.

What?

We can take 55 and a half.

I just wrote it down.

It's 55 and a half.

No, literally 30 minutes ago when I pulled this up, it was too, and I guess it just changed.

But we can take 55.

That's because we're sharps.

I might do the ball turn it over on that one.

That one's going to be just a points factor. I'm very excited about that.
Clock management's going to suck, though. That's the only thing.
You got Mike McCarthy and Andy Reid duking at it in the final two minutes of a half, trying to see who can fuck up the clock the least. I think we have to set a number, because if it ends at 56.
Let's say 56. All right, that's fine.
Is it even 56? Yeah. Okay.
Let's say 56. I'm so excited for that game.
But that is – so that's my over as well. That's always just a very scary proposition.
Yeah. Because if you have eight minutes of – if you have one drive that ends in an interception, you're fucked.
Mm-hmm. But that game is going to be great.
It's also going to be a great test of – I'm just very excited for this week because I feel like we're going to learn a lot from this week. If the Cowboys go into Kansas City, they are on soupy watch times a billion.
And if the Chiefs win, they might be back on soupy watch. I need to know what's going on with Jackson Mahomes.
If he's going to be present at the game. If his lack of presence last week was something that was requested of him by his brother, maybe his brother's turning into little Aaron Rodgers.
I don't know. Trouble in paradise with the Mahomes family.
And I also need to know if this is going to be a Mike McCarthy, what his motivational strategy is going to be this week. It's not another red-ass game.
No, it can't be. It's not a red-ass week.
Although every week is a red-ass week when you're Andy Reid. I don't know if he's going to bring out any motivational tactics.
Not a watermelon game this week. You can't dip into that bag of tricks.
Nope. All right, so what's your over, PFD? So my over is going to be the football team at Carolina 43.
I thought this was a double revenge game, Cam Newton revenge game against Ron Rivera for not hiring him on the football team. So I know that Ron Rivera says that he has a file of defensive plays ready to use against Cam.
He literally said, like, I've got binders filled with women that I'm ready to utilize against Cam. And also, fun little nugget here, Luke Del Rio, the son of Jack Del Rio, defensive coordinator for the football team, played high school football with Christian McCaffrey.
Oh, wow. That is fun.
That's a fun little nugget. But, yeah, I feel like 43,

especially when you look at that football team defense,

I don't know how it's going to stay under that.

Yeah, I mean, no Chase Young, no Montez Sweat.

It's going to be – and Christian McCaffrey looks good again.

Like he does.

See, that was the biggest takeaway.

Cam took all the headlines, but Christian McCaffrey,

that was the first time I was like, whoa,

he's back to being Christian McCaffrey.

Billy, you're over.

Steelers-Chargers, 46-and-a-half. Now is this a win or a loss? This is a loss.
Okay. So you have no chance.
No, I think this is... I hope Big Ben plays.
Yeah. It'd be very fun to see him on Sunday Night Football.
I don't know if he will. Can he self-report as being healthy again? What a...
Unbelievable that he self-reported. What a great guy.
Probably saved some lives. It's like the most you think that Big Ben self-reported as being healthy again? What a unbelievable that he self-reported.
What a great guy. Probably saved some lives.
It's like the most, uh, you think that Big Ben self-reported an injury or illness? What was the big quarterback story this last week in terms of an illness or something that Big Ben could copy? Because it's got to be in his brain. He's got to have something.
Cam Newton's back. Cam Newton's a vegan.
Maybe Big Ben goes vegan for the week. for the week yeah i could see him like throwing up on the team plane they're like big ben is still sick nope he just tried to eat tofu once he needs meat he's going through meat withdrawals right now uh all right uh jake you're over uh billy we're gonna have 47 now okay again we're sharp so we're moving lines yeah i'm taking the Cardinal Seahawks over 48 and a half.
I think Russ can... Last week was a little bit of a comeback.
Yeah. And if Kyler plays, I think I like this even more.
Even if not, I feel like, yeah, we'll see. All right, Hank, you're under to wrap it up.
I'm 9-1 on my unders, by the way. Whoa.
Shout out to PMT Stats and Info for that. That's crazy.

It's pretty crazy.

So this is probably going to be a loser.

Raiders-Bengals under 50.

Okay.

That's also my under.

Whoa.

We've got dueling unders here.

Are we on, like, all the same picks here?

I think so.

Very similar.

We're in Jets and Raiders-Bengals.

All right, Bubba, yours?

I have, who is it? Texans-Titans under 44.5. I just feel like that's an ugly game.
That could also be like, that could end up being Titans 40, Texans 3. Yeah.
And still hit that under. Oh, doesn't it feel like this is the perfect spot for the Titans to have a letdown spot? I think they're going to win the game.
But they've just been playing playoff teams. They've been rolling every week.
Now they play a Texans team that is not even a real team. That might be just look at that as an underdog.
Hold your nose. Are we doing Mills Mafia again? Are we still on Tarad? No, it's Tarad's back.
It's still Tarad officially back. Yeah, because they had the bye week after the Dolphins game.
All right, you're under. I'm going to go Niners-Jags, under 45 and a half.
Just gross game. Probably not going to watch a second of it.
Nope. It'll cut in occasionally on red zone, and it'll be Siciliano doing the thing where he's like, and watch this big play, and then somebody fumbles a ball in like the 20-yard line, and it's going the other way now.
Yes, yes. All right, my under is going to be the Colts and the Bills

under 49-and-a-half.

I think the Colts are going to try to run the ball,

play a little clock management,

not let Carson Wentz make any mistakes.

So, yeah, give me that under 49-and-a-half.

And then, Jake, your last one,

and then we'll wrap up any other game.

With PST, Niners-Jags under 45-and-a-half.

All right, so those are our picks.

We didn't talk.

No one picked anything on the Packers-Vikings game.

Yeah, interesting.

I'm waiting to find out if Kirk's going to be wearing the white wedding ring or the black wedding ring because somebody looked up the stats, and he's much, much better when he wears the white wedding ring. That's the one he puts on when he's really not going to cheat on his wife.
Damn. So I think this game makes me nervous because it's a lose-lose for me because I'm annoyed whenever the Vikings win and Kirk Cousins fans are like, you were wrong.
And then obviously I'm annoyed any time the Packers win. So which one hurts less? Probably the Vikings winning and the Packers losing.
So that means the Packers will win. There it is.
I just figured it out for everyone. If the Packers win, the better the Packers are in the regular season, the bigger the disappointment is going to be when they lose in the playoffs.

So you almost want them to win out and then lose against an inferior team

in the first round.

Or Aaron Rodgers get injured.

I don't know.

We don't root for injuries.

But he has been injured before.

Was it Everson Griffin?

Yep.

He's been landed on a couple times.

Shane McClellan, pair for life.

We don't root for injuries, but it would be a shame. Okay, any other games we missed? I think that's it.
I think we hit them all. We hit them all.
Good job, boys. We hit them all.
Let's do Fantasy Jakes, and then we will wrap up with Firefest. What's up, guys? Hey.
Hey. Hey.
You are now looking live at Hank Lockwood

My stardom

Is Scorigamis

Yeah

Yeah

I smoke Scorigamis

Every day I just fucking wanna fuck a Scorigami

So hopefully this weekend

A F-U-C-K a Scorigami

I can F-U-C-K the S-H-I-T out of a F-U-C-K-I-N-G

Scorigami

Numbies

My sit-em is the Los Angeles Lakers

I'll see you next time. S-H-I-T out of F-U-C-K-I-N-G.
Scorgummy. Numbies.
My sit-em is the Los Angeles Lakers. Oh! They've destroyed their brand by changing their iconic name, the Staples Center, to the Crypto Center.
It's just a terrible idea, and I just think that the Staples Center was such a great and original name, and the fact that they changed it to a corporation is disgusting. The house that Kobe built.
Bill Plaschke said it best when he said, it feels like they're taking away a bit of his memories. Yes, I actually had that as my sit-em as well.
Oh, no, that was your sit-em. That was my sit-em indeed.
That was Big J Bill Plaschke. That was my sit-em indeed.
My sleeper is DK Metcalf. Oh.
Recurring guest. I think he's going to have a big week.

He didn't get suspended,

so he's going to pop off.

He doesn't do that much sleeping.

Nope.

Make sure you pronounce the end on that one.

Sleeper.

Lotta S-E-X.

Yeah.

We'd say that. Multiple females.

Scorigami.

P in Vs.

He is extremely straight,

both on the field and off it. Birds and the bees, folks.
Back after this. Mr.
Cat, Mr. Commentator.
What are you going to do for the background music for this? I don't. I was literally just thinking that.
Maybe SEC on CBS? What's Syracuse's theme song? Syracuse's fight song. The Masters.
Mr. Commentator.
Hello, alongside my co-hosts Big Cat, Hank Lockwood, and Billy Football This is Jake Marsh This weekend, I'm starting B-E-E-R-S Starting drinking some beers That's right, some cold ones Responsibly I had an 8-ounce beer, I chugged it really quickly and people are saying I am the best in the office. Wow.
I'm sitting the Texas Tech football announcing team. That's right.
Oh, that's my sit. They've been suspended by the Big 12 for naming the officials in their game against Iowa State and saying the commissioner wants them to win this game.
Listen, I'm all for a bit of fun in the box.

You'll never catch the Texas Tech meat-judging announcers making a mistake like that.

Those guys are pros.

Pros.

My sleeper is post-nasal drip.

It's that time of year again.

You party a little too hard staying up late,

playing sporkle quizzes about stadiums,

and you wake up with the shakes chasing that dragon.

The afrin is leaving your system, and you miss it. You need it.
You need that F-U-C-K-I-N-G nasal drip spray. You need it.
This has been Jake Marsh. Back to you, Big Cat.
Ah, thank you, Mr. Commenter.
Both my sleeper and my sit-um has been taken, but that's why I went to Syracuse Journalism School so I could think on the fly. My stardom is flu shots.
Everyone's talking about vaccines. You got to remember, flu shots are also important.
Enough with the influencers. How about the influenzas? My sit-em was also the Texas Tech announcers.
That was disgusting what they did. I would never do that.
My name is Jake Marsh My sleeper is

Jake give me a sleeper

NyQuil but not too much of it

One dose per every 24 hours

Make sure you don't overdose on NyQuil folks

Make sure you get your flu shot

And make sure you take your Advil

And your Tylenol but never together

And stay away from dogs

Dogs, dogs, dogs Bad dogs Zyrtec. Zyrtec.
Okay, Billy. What's up, guys? It's Jake Marsh here on the call.
My stardom is EpiPens. Yes, EpiPens.
When you have allergic reactions, you need something quick to help you with an autoimmune disorder. EpiPens help you.
Always gotta carry your EpiPens. I keep that mother F-U-C-K-I-N-G thing on me.
Mycidum is dust mites. Oh.
Dust mites. Oh, they're the worst.
They're everywhere. They're everywhere you sit.
They're in pillows. And then you smell them, and sometimes you're allergic to them, and they make you sneeze.
Dust mites are mycidem. And my sleeper is John Rothstein's dreamy eyes.
Have you ever looked inside of them? I actually really, really, really think that we should give John Rothstein a little more credit for his on-air persona and how presentable he is. Yes, he's a hunk.
All right. Jake Marsh.
That's the future. First question, John Rothstein.
How do we do, Jake? I don't think I sound like I do not talk like a robot like this. No, you don't.
No, you do. So we did a bad job.
Oh, you think he talks like a robot? No, when he's denouncing. I don't think he talks like a robot.
That would be bad. Yeah, that would be very bad.
I'll welcome the criticism from Billy. I thought that was supposed to sound.
You're not the first one to dislike it. You won't be the last.
Jake, what do you want to do? I would say it's shot. The guys that got suspended for this week.
I think when you're a homer, you have a lot more slack. They didn't curse.
They didn't say anything disrespectful. There's criticism.

We got Fyre Fest of the week, then we'll send everyone to a great football weekend. Hank.
uh so my fire fest I've been going to a chiropractor once a week due to my back injury. It's been getting a lot better.
Blew your back out. Blew my back out.
Shout out to Tom Kern in New York City. He's been taking care of me.
But this Tuesday, I go on Tuesdays. This Tuesday, we had things move up.
We were doing the show early. We had an interview early.
So I moved my chiropractor up early. It was just run a little bit later.
I usually like to have my coffee and bagel before I leave, do everything I got to do on this particular day. I was running a little late.
I took my coffee, my bagel on the train with me. I was kind of eating and going on the road.
So by the time I got to the chiropractor, we were doing all these stretches and moving up and down and I had some gas, morning gas. I had to take my morning shit, and I was obviously trying to hold it in, but then he's like, do this exercise where you're bending down and bending forward, and I'm trying to hold it in.
I didn't even try and squeeze one by because I wouldn't try and do that, but I was standing up and one just came out. Was it an audible one? It was audible-ish, but not audible enough to be like, I didn't say anything, but I was like, I think he heard it.
Yeah, of course he knew. What was the impact? Was it smelly? It was not smelly, thank God.
That's good. That's good.
But he knew. Yeah, he definitely knew.
I definitely probably should have said something. I've been thinking about it all week, how awkward it was.
So that's my Fyre Fest of the week. That's a brutal one.
We need to get you doing squats to make your ass bigger because you can't hold in farts with that thing.

No, I can't.

It's like trying to stop the tide with a toothpick.

I'm on a mission for an ass.

Ass and a six-pack.

Oh, I forgot about the six-pack. I'm in constant pursuit.

Me too.

Super Bowl.

All I need is an ass and a six-pack.

Soupy six-pack?

That's my goal.

Okay.

I like it.

I'm not making any guarantees.

But it'll be L.A., you know, beach. It'll be cool to just rip off the top and be sixed up.
I love it. I like it.
I'm not making any guarantees. Yeah.
But it'll be LA, you know, beach. It'll be cool to just rip off the top and be sixed up.
I love it. I love it.
Maybe four. PFT, your Fire Fest of the week.
My Fire Fest is I woke up on Wednesday morning and my shoulder was dislocated. I dislocated in my sleep.
Well, didn't you get like very drunk after your last show Tuesday or is that coincidental? No, I stayed up until about 1 a.m. Very drunk? If that's late.
No, I wasn't very drunk. I came home, watched an episode of Seinfeld, went to sleep, and I slept, as far as I can tell, in a normal position.
And I woke up, and my shoulder was literally out of its socket. And I had to pull it back into its socket.
It's felt like it's been halfway in for the last two days, and I don't really believe in going to a doctor unless it's an emergency, so I'm just kind of hoping it goes away. You want to go to my chiropractor guy? No, I said a doctor.
His name's Doctor on Instagram. There you go.
Dr. Dre.
Done. Also a doctor.
Dr. Pepper.
Great doctor. Doctor.
So I'm trying to figure out what it is I need to do because it is, I had surgery on the shoulder a while ago, but since then it's been, for the most part, more or less staying in bounds, but this is the first time it's been out. Middle of the night injuries are just the worst.
I've sprained my ankle in the middle of the night. You just wake up and you're like, how did this happen? What went down? I actually think that sleeping is the most dangerous thing that we do once we hit our mid-30s.
Yeah. You can get in a lot of trouble in there.
Alright. My fire friends, I had to go to the dentist again and I'm so sick of the dentist.
I can feel half my mouth right now. Fucking sucks.
Kids, go to the dentist. You guys haven't gone to the dentist, right? Not in a while.
No. Yeah, you guys are fucked.
I brush, I floss. Of course you do, Jake.
Jake, do you have the magnet on your refrigerator? No. I'm finally all caught up.
Like, this was my final, like, hey, Dan, you're a fucking moron. You didn't go to the dentist for five years.
I'm finally good. Now it's going again will be key, but I finally have caught up to all my past errors.
I have a theory about dentists. I think that sometimes you go there.
If your mouth feels fine and you go to the dentist, sometimes they put little holes in your teeth and they're like, oh, I found a cavity. You're going to have to come back.
Yeah. My dentist is great.
So I appreciate my dentist got me fixed up, but God damn, does it suck walking out of there and being like half a face. But you get the laughing gas.
Yeah. But then when they take it off, it's like I want that all the time.
I just want to walk around with the nitrous going to my brain, have like holes in my brain like the fish lot. All right.
Billy. So I've been working a couple of weeks on making these part of my take NFTs.
Not the ones, the experimental ones. That's totally different.
Yeah. The experimental ones.
That's just side cash. Also, you did ruin the experiment.
I didn't want to mention them on the show. For the sake of the experiment.
What was the experiment? So your personal NFTs are being sold for more money than you thought they would. As a bit.
It's an experiment. Well, I was never going to mention them.
I really want to talk about these part of my take nfts yeah be coming out soon but uh someone figured out that you could right click certain nfts and save them like a file so there's a totally new uh marketplace of nfts called pirate nfts it's like a story that just came out where someone's just copying a bunch of nfts Wait, didn't we say this was going to happen the whole time? You could just screenshot these things? You could screenshot, but now the crypto guys and the NFT guys are making fun of people who are making that joke, being like, yo, that joke's played out. You can't just save it.
That's not funny anymore. But then they did.
But then you can save it, and then they're like, yo, that's not a funny joke. So now it's just like a battle.
Unsave that, bro. Yeah, a battle between two of the least funny people online going back and forth at each other.
But you yourself can own one of these NFTs. Great.
The auction's starting soon. And they can't be copied.
These ones cannot be copied. We'll see about that.
It's going to take a little longer. We're going to stress test those.
But we're stress testing. These ones are going to be rock solid NFTs.
Okay. This has all the makings of someone figuring out how to steal it within like four seconds of it going live we're only releasing three now not four three fourth was gonna get stolen yeah okay so these are unstealable these are unstealable don't even try it folks yeah cannot steal these high security don't try it want to let you guys know i had i had a great opportunity on tuesday night i got to meet Billy's mom.
Oh, wow. She was a lovely lady.
It was very interesting, though, because she let me in on a little bit of insight into Billy's childhood. Uh-oh.
Billy's always been excellent at drawing frogs, apparently. Oh.
It was his favorite thing to do since he was a child, and he was known throughout his entire town as having the best proportions on all the frogs that were drawn. He had the proportions down since he was a child.
So this is something that Billy's been working on for a long, there's been blood, sweat, and tears that have gone to these NFTs. I honestly, some of my art in elementary school was featured in a Discovery Channel like museum thing.
It's kind of cool. She told me the list of reptiles and amphibians that Billy's had in his house growing up.
Have you taken your kid to the Discovery Channel Museum? Three minutes. Absolutely like hey Billy, great job.
We're going to feature this on our channel museum. I don't remember the specifics.
I just have the plaque and they took my sculpture. It says featured on the Discovery Channel and your mom's signature on the bottom.
It was something different. I'll find the plaque.
I actually had multiple teeth be captured by the Tooth Fairy when I was a kid. I have the plaque for that.
Wow. Your plaque is pretty huge.
Santa Claus wrote me a letter back personally. Whoa.
Was it framed? Were your plaques framed? Yeah, all of them were framed. Mine's framed.
Mine had two frames on it. Yep.
Was yours? Mine had frame and saran wrap. So it's extra framed.
Alright, Jake. Yeah, so we had a Benchmob live show in Bloomington last night.
We had some Q&As going around for the fans, and some guy asked me. It wasn't just basketball.
We were like Barstool, anything. And he's like, you know the song Radioactive? And I was excited because I usually don't.
Last time. You're a music guy.
I thought it was a Hootie and the Blowfish part two, and they were just trying to stump So I'm like yeah, imagine dragons. Let's go.
I knew it and then imagine dragging these nuts across your face. Yep Wow, I also saw you chug alcohol PFC talked about mmm what yeah, it was part of a game It's called sink the biz at Knicks you pour a drink into a bucket and if it sinks you have to drink it Yeah, I know but that's still illegal.
I'm 21 years old. Was that responsible? Weren't you working? It was Coors Light.
You were on the clock, right? They offered me... If you were a Duke player, you'd get behind the wheel of a car.
Well, no. Yeah, I mean, that's true.
No penalties for them so far. No way.
You weren't wearing any of our merch, though, right? We didn't want to... Not part of my take.
Wait, was it during a Benchmob podcast? Live show. I blame Rico, actually.
Rico should have known better. Rico was the elder.
He was the one, really the capo of the team there. Capo Di Capo.
Technically, he's actually the youngest. Who? Based on seniority.
That's true.

He just started a week ago.

Well, it was at the very end of the show.

I feel like it was okay.

I was offered drinks beforehand, and I didn't take any.

I had text messages saying Jake is a fucked up mess right now.

He's puking in the alley.

That was me.

Jake, so have you always been just an elite chugger?

Because it seems like something that you probably have a lot of practice at.

I'm more of a beer pong guy.

Yeah. Is it hot in here? Yeah.
Yeah. Alright.
Let's do numbers. 69.
That was one of those ones where I was like, I don't know if I'm hot or... 85.
Give me an 8. 18.
46 and 23 are out. I'm going 97.
3. Third time.
contrary Three.

Third time.

Contrary to popular belief, goldfish actually do have memories.

Oh.

But it's just six seconds, right?

No, it's actually a little longer.

How long?

Seven?

You can train them to do tricks, and they'll actually remember how to do the tricks.

Really?

So Larry knows when it's time for him to make his picks?

Exactly.

Could you train them to fucking kill themselves because they suck at gambling?

They do that. and they'll actually remember how to do the tricks.
Really? So Larry knows when it's time for him to make his picks?

Exactly.

Could you train them to fucking kill themselves

because they suck at gambling?

They do that themselves.

Okay.

Love you guys. We'll be right back.
