We're taking one Thursday off, so we'll predict what happens in the ravens and dolphins game uh hopefully we are correct if not you get guess what all the perverts out there you get a little bonus pervert uh listen where you can listen to us be wrong at the top of the show we have fantasy fuck boys we have fire fest of the week a great friday show sending you into a...

Today is Friday, November 12th, and the Baltimore Ravens just demolished the Miami Dolphins. Oh, no, I disagree, Big Cat.
Uh-oh. Dogs are barking.
So we're recording early. We're taking one Thursday night off.
Long football season. We thought this would be the perfect time.
So if we're wrong, guess what? You get to listen to us be wrong early. Because usually we're wrong on all of our Sunday predictions, so the perverts have to go listen to it after.
You get the bonus, we're wrong before the weekend even starts i just can't see in any world how the dolphins win this game well listen this is next level thinking on my part because this is what this is what they try to do to you on daytime television this i'm trying to go viral with this so start the clip right now i'm telling you right now the miami dolphins are ready to play some football tonight the bal in big trouble. Tua is coming back.
He's going to make the throws. He's going to expose you for being the hater that you are.
Is Tua back? He might be. His finger.
We're on finger watch right now. I've got a very close eye all over his finger.
He's going to come back tonight. He's going to throw four touchdowns.
The Miami Dolphins are going to win outright. Yes, you heard me.
They're going to win outright tonight. Okay, so Tua back, played a great game.

I'm not a hater of Tua anymore because I've been gaslit to like him.

I actually met a Dolphins fan on the street last week,

and he just started spouting Tua facts into my ear.

So I'm getting it from everywhere.

Yeah, no, actually what's going to happen is the Ravens are going to win by 20.

But they're also going to be down for a minute because they've been down in every single game. They might be down in the first quarter, but that's what the Ravens do this year.
They fall behind to bad teams, so they're able to actually come back against them. And so that's what Harbaugh will do.
Harbaugh's going to go forward on every fourth down tonight. Yep.
Yes, every fourth down. This is one where you can really pad your stats, too, if you're the Ravens.
Are we saying maybe after tonight that Lamar Jackson MVP campaign is back on? Yeah, it's definitely back on. Because he is.
We did bury the narrative last week of Lamar Jackson not being able to come back in a game that has been officially buried. He was the first part of his career, the first three seasons of his career, 0-6, went down double digits in the second half.
What is he, 4-0 this year? 3-0 this year? Coming back from down double digits, he can do it all. He is taking the step to, dare I say it, elite quarterbacking.
In Baltimore, it's kind of a tradition. Let's quickly do your top five quarterbacks as of right now.
Hopefully, Lamar plays well. As of today, I'm going to put Lamar number two.
I'm going to save number one for the end. Lamar's number two.
That's spicy. Kyler Murray is number three.
Okay. I'm going to go with...
So there's some hurt guys out there that I'm kind of skipping over. Yeah.
So I'm taking Sam Darnold off the list. Yep.
And also... Oh, Kyler's hurt too.
But he's coming back. Maybe.
He's hurt, not injured. Darnold is injured, not hurt.
Correct. So I'm going to say Dak.
I'm going to put Dak in there as well. I know he's hurt too.
And then hmm. Patrick Mahomes.
I'm still keeping Patrick Mahomes. And who's your number one? And then, oh yeah, my number one's Russell Wilson.
Oh, interesting. Double disrespect.
All right, I'll go Brady, Rogers, Mahomes. What? You guys are forgetting someone you're very close with.
Blake Bortles. Joe Burrow.
Joe Burrow. Big Ben.
Justin Fields. Who are you forgetting? Taylor Haneke.
Are you trolling? You guys are trolling. Mike White? Joe Flacco.
Josh Allen. Josh Allen? No, no, no.
You weren't trolling. Holy shit.
No, no. I forgot about Josh.
Well, Big Cat just put me on the spot right there. I didn't get my big board together.
I didn't know I was going to be asked for a Mount Rushmore on the spot. Okay, the whole start of this show was a bit.
Yeah. I thought you were until I saw Big Cat's eyes light up.
I'm going to read your eyes. I did.
Listen, I gave it to PFT off the cuff. I gave it to myself off the cuff.
I don't have anything planned. There's nothing written down here.
Josh Allen, one. Josh Allen, one.
Blake Bortles, two. Also number one.
Joe Burrow, three. Joe Burrow, also number one.
Jared Goff, four. Tom.
Tom Brady, that's fine. Five.
No. Russell Wilson, five.
Russell Wilson, five. If he throws a touchdown to DK and DK does the Lambo League.
I do think, and we're going to get to all the games, I do think Russell Wilson will everyone will be like, oh, I forgot about Russell Wilson after this weekend. I'm going big trust tonight and then I'm going big Russ Sunday.
No, I'm saying, that's what I'm saying. After Sunday, everyone's going to say oh, we forgot about Russell Wilson.
Not us. We're remembering time.
Right now. Did we stop saying trust, by the way? I think so.
Trust? Because Mark Ingram's not on the team anymore, right? But it's still trust. Right, but I think that it kind of broke up the trust.
I think we bring back trust. We also have other quarterbacking news.
The Carolina Panthers have signed Cam Newton. Now, everything's obviously hindsight is 20-20, but it is very funny that the Carolina Panthers walked away from Cam Newton, signed Teddy Bridgewater, walked away from Teddy Bridgewater, traded three picks for Sam Darnold only to bring Cam Newton back.
Yeah, and it's fun to watch because Cam's going to come back and he's going to get a hero's welcome because he is the Carolina Panthers. He's the most Carolina Panthers player in the NFL.
And he's going to go out and he's going to be Cam that we've seen the last couple years. And underwhelming.
I don't think anyone's expecting Cam to go out there and take the Panthers to the playoffs this year. We're just excited to see Cam in those colors again because it felt weird when he was a Patriot.
And for Cam Newton's sake, if you're not going to be a top-tier quarterback anymore, which I think we can all agree he isn't, because whether it be injuries, age, whatever it may be, you might as well go back to where it all started to do the whole thing and have everyone embrace you. It also, his time away, I want to hammer it again, the only thing that I should be remembered for when I die in like five years because football is killing me is that there should be a rule that every school can bring back one alumni to come and play in that given season if they're not playing professional football.
Because Cam Newton getting cut by the Patriots and then playing this entire season for Auburn would have been electric. Yeah, he's the best college football player of all time.
Yeah, I actually agree. Reggie Bush up there.
There's a lot of guys up there. Tebow.
Cam Newton, though. Reggie Bush didn't get a...
Well, yeah, he doesn't have a husband. No, Reggie Bush did not play college football.
It is crazy to look back at Cam Newton's season and also realize the guys that he played with. I think this might not be a fact, but it feels like a fact.
I think he had one other guy on his offense make a practice squad. I think so.
I think that was it. It might have been a running back that he played with.
It wasn't like these teams that are loaded. No disrespect to Alabama, who's had some incredible teams, LSU, when they won their national championship.
Those teams had top to bottom first-round picks, second-round picks, like all over the place. We saw it.
Nick Saban basically broke the record with every guy going in the first round of that recruiting class. Cam Newton's Auburn team, he was doing it himself.
Cam had a pretty good defense that year. Yeah.
But the offense stunk. Stunk out loud.
So, yeah, I wish he could go back and play at Auburn, but I'll take the Carolina Panthers instead. I'm going to be happy to see Cam out there wearing the silver, blue, and black for the Panthers this week.
It feels like, I don't know, I don't know how injury prone he is right now. Probably very.
I would like to see Cam move to tight end. I still think that Cam would be an awesome tight end right now.
I like that. He's big enough.
He's strong enough still. He's fast enough to get the job done as a tight end.
At the very least, put Cam in on defense at the end of games like you used to to defend the Hail Mary. That is one thing he can still do.
All right, so before we get to all the picks and talk about the entire NFL Sunday slate, what are you going to say? We should also congratulate Big Cat for his game of the year. No, don't do that.
You're such a jerk. Well, you have to talk about it.
It's the same thing. I was going to do it on my FireFest.
Okay, I'm sorry. We'll get to it.
That was mean what you just did. We had, I assumed, I didn't know you were going to talk about it on FireFest.
Of course I was going to talk about it. I assumed since we're recording after the games in theory.
I know. You only have one game of the year.
Well, you don't know when my fiscal year starts. True.
So if I lose this one, I could have another game of the year on Saturday. Fair.
I'm sorry. Big Cat, this is the first game of the year that he's had in 12 months.
Yeah, I have rollover years. But my gambling calendar starts on November 13th.
What's today's date? It's November 11th. Okay, perfect.
Happy Veterans Day, Bill. Yes.
Yes, Billy. No, before we get to the weekend preview.
Breaking news. Breaking news.
Breaking moves. This is real.
OBJ. Per Adam Schefter, Dalvin Cook did nothing wrong.
No, sorry. That was a old one.
Former Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham is finalizing a deal with the Los Angeles Rams Wow The Rams Yes way Billy Why is that in no way I feel like it's the Rams The Bucks Those are the two teams And the Packers The ones where you could definitely see Odell Beckham Oh no Rappaport just got fucking happened? Yeah, a minute ago he said dwindling down between Rams and Packers, and then Schefter 40 seconds later says Rams. What if Ray Schefter's just taking like a 50-50 shot at it? He's like, okay, Rapp's saying it's one of these two.
Fuck it. I'm just going to shoot from the hip.
Two questions right off the bat. Do you think the Rams gave up picks just out of habit? Being like, we know that we can sign them as a free agent, but someone please take a pick for this.
No, what Sean McVay did was he just put two first-round picks in the free parking spot in the middle, so the next team that lands on that gets him. Yes, and then in terms of the fit, who the fuck knows? I tend to think that Sean McVay is good enough in terms of offensive scheme that he'll figure out a way to make Odell Beckham flourish for the Rams.
But now the Rams are dangerous. Well, they probably were already there, but they're dangerously close to the super team tag, and that never works out.
Well, super team tag, yes. But I think we're yet to approach the super team tag.
It's when somebody on the team acknowledges the fact, like, yeah, this is the dream team. Yes, shout out Nnamdi.
Yeah, Nnamdi Asamoah and Vince Young, I think, said that. And Vince Young.
Shout out the Sports Illustrated, Steve Nash, Dwight Howard cover. Are we having fun yet for the Lakers? When your backup quarterback is the one that says this is a dream team, that's when you know you're deeply fucked.
But in this one, I think it's more along the lines of like, the Rams

are confirmed all in. Oh, they've

been all in. Now they're confirmed.

Now they are more in than they've

ever been in in their life. The Rams are addicted

to just going all in.

They just want, I think they get, I think

Les Snead gets off on people just tweeting

oh damn, so the Rams are all in.

Yeah, no, the Rams, they've been soaking for the last

two years. They've just been staying in.
They got Matt Stafford all in the Rams are all in. Yeah, no, the Rams, they've been soaking for the last two years.
They've just been staying in.

They got Matt Stafford, all in.

All in.

Vaughn Miller, all in.

He just cut Odell Beckham, all in.

Was it Fowler a couple years ago?

Yeah, all in.

Jalen Ramsey, all in.

Leonard Floyd, all in.

All in.

They're just going all in.

All the time.

Deshaun Jackson, all in.

Yes, it's all in.

They're so in right now. They just go in.
This is probably going to be a disaster, right? I think he's going to look sweet when they wear the blue helmets. Do you think Odell Beckham is going to show up to breakfast with Matt Stafford and Cooper Cup? Because that's – I mean, that's – here's – listen, I'll give Odell Beckham the benefit of the doubt even though he doesn't really deserve it at this point of his career after what happened in Cleveland, but it doesn't feel like Matt Stafford has a very nice connection with Cooper Cup, and if Odell Beckham doesn't get targets, there could be some issues.
Well, what's funny is if you looked at it on paper, I guess the Rams are a pretty good fit for everything that a normal person would want in a football team that they would join but the Cleveland Browns were the best fit for Odell Beckham. He got traded to the best possible organization with his best friend on the team, with a great coach, a good quarterback, a good young quarterback, good scheme great running game decent, like that should have been everything that Odell needed and so when he's a free agent now's like, well, you had it pretty good when you were in Cleveland.
I guess the Rams are probably, they're as good of a fit, as close of a fit as he could think that he wants. Yeah.
But then is that what you really want? I was actually thinking about that last night that like, what if the Browns had just been like, hey, Odell, you want to sign here as a free agent? Like we just pretend that that little breakup... Who hasn't broken up for three hours? Sometimes those are the best relationships where you break up, you test what's out there, and you're like, you know what? I really prefer it when I was with you.
I've calmed down. I've made a mistake.
We can all admit that we make rash choices sometimes. Let's get back to the other cooler heads prevail.
But yeah, I like it. I like the fit.
I think it's not bad. Why not? I mean, it's going to be fun to watch.
The Rams, they have to... Poor Chargers.
They just keep getting cucked by the Rams in terms of star power. I don't know how anyone in LA would choose the Chargers, especially because they're San Diego's team.
But there is a lot of star power on the Rams, and there's going to be... I mean, LeBron, do you think LeBron has his fingers all over this? He freed Odell to his city? Good point.
Yeah. From his city to his city? You know what? I'm getting pre-upset for Odell because he is...
The first loss that they have where Matt Stafford throws like 10 completions to Cooper Cup and Odell gets two catches. Odell will need to be freed again at that point.
I'm getting like pre-free. Free my man.
Yeah. Free my man.
Alright, let's get to our weekend preview. Let's talk some games.
Awesome slate, both Saturday and Sunday. When your home system or appliance breaks down, American Home Shield will help fix or replace the covered item, no matter its age.
Visit AHS.com slash listen for 20% off any plan. See AHS.com slash contracts for coverage details, limitations, and exclusions.
All right. Week 10.
Can't believe we're already at week 10. Double digits.
I am struggling with something, boys, that I have to admit. The fact, I still haven't fully grasped the fact that there are seven teams that get into the playoffs in each division because we keep talking about all these teams.
Any team that's like 3-5 or 3-6, I think they have no shot at the playoffs. No, they're all still in the hunt.
Everyone's still in the hunt. Every team.
This actually feels like the first weekend where we will have the separation of the hunt. Like if the Vikings lose again, they're in big trouble.
So I wanted to have the debate with you going into this weekend because there's always one week where it's either separation Sunday or it's moving day. Right.
This feels like separation Sunday. It does.
In advance. And so you look at some of the teams that are technically still in the hunt, on the playoff picture.
The Atlanta Falcons, if the season ended today, the Falcons would be in the playoffs. Yes, they would, which is crazy.
But here are the teams I circled that if they lose this weekend, I now officially am saying they're in big trouble. Kind of have to go perfect or close to perfect down the stretch.
I think the Seahawks are in that camp. 3-5.
If they go to 3-6, it's not that they're eliminated. It's just the margin for error.
They can't lose a fluky game. I'm going to call this a can't lose for the Seahawks.
Yeah, because you know what I mean. We're not saying that they're out.
It's just now they can't have an off week because if you go 3-6, you reasonably have to finish the season. Someone check my math here.

3-6, 10,

7-2. That makes sense.

10-8? No, that's more.

We're thinking that you have to get to 10-7.

10-7. But that mode of thinking

might be outdated even.

Because we always assume that if you're 10 wins,

you're going to get into the playoffs.

But with 17 games, it's almost like

you almost need 10 and a half. You need 10 wins and a tie.
It's true. So Seahawks are on that list.
Eagles are on that list. Vikings are on that list.
I'm going to scratch the Eagles off right now. I mean, if they win, though, they're back in it.
You know that smell. The Eagles have a smell.
You can sniff each team. Give me one sniff.
More breaking moves. More breaking moves.
My game of the year one. We got a source off right now.
Oh, no. Okay.
Josina Anderson and Kim Jones, who Rapport quoted in his thing, just said, Odell Beckham Jr. This is Josina Anderson.
Odell Beckham Jr. just told me he's still on the fence with his decision as of this minute.
And Kim Jones said, Odell Beckham Jr. tells me he's on the fence between Rams and Packers.
This was two minutes

ago. Whoa.
So Odell

has not. We'll keep you updated as this show

goes along, but. Wow.

Scoop off. Here's another scoop.

This one is from Adam Schefter.

He rephrased his tweet.

Oh, that scumbag.

Yeah, he is. He did.
He did

what you said. He just sent it.
He said

OBJ expected

to be an LA Ram.

Huh. Huh.
You can't go from

Thank you. Comeback.
Yeah. He is.
He did. He did what you said.
He just sent it. He said, OBJ expected to be an LA Ram.
Huh. Huh.
You can't go from finalizing to expecting. Well, no.
Adam Schefter didn't lie then because he said former Browns wide receiver is finalizing. So according to Adam Schefter, that brilliant son of a bitch, Adam Schefter, he was using words that would indicate that he has signed with the Rams, but also telling us it's not done yet.
So he just planted his flag out there. He can't be wrong.
Wow. Wow.
I hope he goes to the Packers and blows that whole thing up. I hope he goes to the Saints.
Wow. Very funny that he was actually considering the Saints.
Oh my God. This is source off.
Official source off.

Yeah, and then Sean McVay said,

right now we're focused on the 49ers.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Interesting.

All right, back to it.

So, yeah, separation Sunday.

There's some teams that we could probably break out the Dunn chain

and start crossing a bunch of teams off after this weekend

if they lose games.

I think if the Chiefs lose, I'm taking Dunchain out.

Oh, wow.

I'm thinking about throwing it on the Chiefs.

Oh, wow.

That seems slightly premature, but you know what?

If the Chiefs lose, whatever.

I'm done thinking the Chiefs are just going to flip the switch and become the Chiefs of

two years ago.

Let's do our picks, though. Favorites? Let's start with favorites.

What's the updated standings?

I went 4-0. I jumped from last to second.

Wow. Which doesn't really mean anything

in this contest.

Hank and Liam 2-2. The rest of you 1-3.

So right now Hank is in first.

Up a game and a half. Big Cat, you and I

are tied. 19-17.

PFT and Billy at 18-18. Liam at 17-19.
All right, here we go. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
I won. So you're going on the trip with Liam for second place.
I'm starting to get nervous. Halfway there.
I'll just say it. I'm starting to get a little nervous.
I'm getting very nervous about it. If I lose, just so anyone here in this room has to go with me, we're going to be leaving like Friday at midnight.
Can I just say something? The United States is too big. This country is too big.
It shouldn't take that long to cross anything in a car. It's crazy.
It's crazy. It is crazy.
All right. Billy, are you trying to win or lose this week? I'm actually going back to my 50-50 mentality.
Okay, good. That's more you.
I didn't like the try to win strategy. Trying to win didn't really work, so I'm just going to go back to 50-50.
Perfect. Hank, start us off.
Favorite. My favorite this week is the Patriots.
Ooh. Okay.
This is going to be a good game. It's going to be a great game.
Hopefully a blowout for the Patriots. Nick Chubb, unsure if he'll play or not.
Don't know how much of a factor that is. We talked about Derrick Henry being a huge point spread differentiator with the Rams game.
That didn't matter at all. So I don't know if this will matter, but this is kind of just, as I've said the whole season, last week was going to decide how I feel about the rest of the season they won i'm now in soupy mode so if they're going to go to the soupy they got to win this game convincingly do you think miles garrett knowing his history of assault uh will try to stand in solidarity with his defensive lineman brothers and put a little extra mustard on mac jones yeah i mean i hope the rest are up to to it.
What that guy said was pretty scummy. He said, good luck to all my hunting brothers.
That was the scummy part of this. He said it's open season.
There wasn't a clear definitive angle that I saw of it being a tough look. It was Mac Man Jones.
It was a dirty play. He grabbed his ankle and then he twisted.
He did a gator roll to it. It was all the angles.
All the angles were covered. There was nothing slow-mo or definitive.
Billy wants to... It's not a gator roll, bro.
It's a crocodile roll. The gator roll was a totally dirty thing you'd see in college where guys in piles would grab a guy's leg and then literally roll.
But Mac Jones didn't gator roll. He did like a baby gator.
No, what he did he did was like he was holding up Warner It was a gator learning how to grow It's like when a guy gets run over and pop Warner just tries to hold on No, it was it was a quarterback attempting a gator roll right? He's too young to know what a true role is maybe two week. He's never done it before.
Yeah Wasn't he'll learn how to get it roll. Yeah, he will.
I think Miles Garrett is going to put some extra stink on it.

Yep.

He's going to hit him.

Okay.

Good pick.

Thank you.

Great pick, Hank.

Thank you.

Two and a half.

Two and a half.

We're on the record.

Patriots two and a half against the Browns.

Actually, I like that pick.

Is that your pick?

It's not, but I was thinking about doing that.

The only thing I would be nervous about, Hank, is there's a part of me that thinks the Browns might just be the best team in the NFL now that Odell Beckham's gone. Yeah, that's valid.
If they just become incredible and it was all because of Odell Beckham, it does feel like the vibes are great right now in Cleveland after he left. I also think to what you were saying earlier, too, with the schedule and this week being so important.
If the Patriots lose this game, everything that people have been saying the last two weeks is going to go out the window. They're going to be like, the Patriots suck again.
I mean, the NFL, obviously, we're a contributing factor to this, but it's kind of crazy how week-to-week... It's why it's the best league, because every single Sunday matters.
And Belichick is starting to feel himself. First, you had the halter top and the one pant leg rolled up last week.
That was by design, by the way. That was not a cutoff.
What do you mean? It was a two-toned sweatshirt. Oh, yeah, yeah, I know.
I know, but it still looked hilarious. It looked like a bra.
Yeah. You've got to be careful.
If you have breasts like I do, you've got to be careful whenever there's a two-tone in the midsection. Mm-hmm.
Looks like a sports bra. But he's starting to feel himself not just with that, but also he's getting into that time of year where he's willing to go off on weird tangents with reporters.
He was talking about how pressures are more important than sacks this week, which is true. As a football guy, we know that.
Brandon Staley brought it up to us. But Belichick went off.
If you ask him the right question, get him going, he'll talk for like five minutes nonstop without taking a breath. Yes.
And that's when you know that Belichick is really feeling himself because if he's not happy with how things are going, he's just going to do the one-word answers and move on. Yep.
So I love the Patriots this weekend. Oh, wow.
Love them. Love them.
But I'm not taking them. Not taking them, but you do love them.
All right. Bubba.
I'm going to go with the Bills minus 12. Ooh.
That's a lot of points. Come back.
Yeah. I just feel like last week was kind of an aberration.
Yep. Yeah.
And number one quarterback in the league. Josh Allen.
Unanimous. Number one quarterback.
Never forgotten. My favorite, I'm going to go with the Dallas Cowboys.
Same. Go with the Cowboys.
Now, here's a trend that I saw. Somebody sent this to me.
I think some people on TikTok cracked the code. I'm surprised Billy hasn't actually brought this to the table just yet.
But betting this year, it's smart to bet on teams that didn't cover the previous week when they're playing against teams that did cover the previous week. So, in 2021, those teams are 39-14-1, which that's a pretty lopsided difference.
I like the Cowboys, minus 9.5. I feel like Dak is, he's got that injury that's going to just start to, it's going to get better every week.
It's not like a long-term thing where it's going to impact his stability for the rest of the season. It's just one that he's going to work through and get better at.
Yeah, and I'm taking the Cowboys as well. Falcons, nice win last week.
I think what the Falcons do well versus the Cowboys, it's a mismatch. Sorry, what the Cowboys' weaknesses are, they were exposed last week against the Broncos because the Broncos were able to run all over them.
Falcons can't really run the ball. And they also don't really have a pass rush.
So I think Dak will have a ton of time. I think the Falcons will have a lot of trouble getting consistent drives.
So I like the Cowboys. I'm trying to help you out on this one too because this feels like it could be a watermelon game.
I'm getting watermelon from because Mike McCarthy obviously is on the hot seat he's always on the hot seat but last week Jerry Jones after the game talked to the media and was basically saying we I went over the game plan and told Mike McCarthy exactly what the Broncos were going to do to us and then Mike McCarthy did not take my game planning advice probably because I'm the owner of the team but still Jerry Jones thinks that's a coach, and we don't listen to the coach who also signs your paychecks. Then you're on the hot seat.
McCarthy needs a performance. Ipso facto, it might be watermelon clobbering time.
And one extra one on top of your stat. That stat essentially is just we're very stupid human beings because what happened last week we expect to happen again.
There are two games with the two biggest upsets last week that have almost identical lines, and I think everyone's going to look at it and they're going to say, wait, the Cowboys just lost outright as a 10-point favorite. They're a 9-point favorite.
Got to take the Falcons. Wait, the Bills just lost outright to the Jaguars as a 14-point favorite.
They're a 12-point favorite against the Jets. Got to take the Jets.
It never works that way. Doesn't ever.
Never, ever, ever. Also, Randy Gregory has a calf.
Something to keep an eye on. Jersey Jerry said he's a scumbag.
But that's personal, so I don't know. I also have the Cowboys, and the line's actually eight and a half now.
Oh, okay, so great. Yeah, I like it even better.
So now we all three have the Cowboys. Could be a bad sign.
That's a very bad sign. Jake, do you have the Cowboys? I do not, but I also have a team that's favored by 8.5 in the form of the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Lions.
I think we can get Billy's clowning in this game. I don't know, Jake.
You guys, we've all been fading the Lions, and it hasn't really worked out on this show. No, we've been betting on the Lions today.
Oh, yeah, yeah. The Lions have been fading us.
Right, and now I'm going to fade them. Here's, okay.
I mean, I'm a terrible gambler, so I'm not going to pretend like I know the outcome. I'll do a counterpoint, though.
Mike Tomlin loves to play down to his competition. Mike Tomlin teams.
The Steelers don't blow anyone out. The Lions are coming off a bye, and Dan Campbell buried the game film.
The buried game film, that's a big point here. I think you're underestimating the fact that he took the actual game film and then put it into the earth.
So the most, the Steelers have won games by seven, by eight, by three, by five, by two. So they have not covered this spread if they were favored by this.
Yeah, all right. Listen, again, very bad gambler.
So everything I say, who cares? But at least for discussion, I think the Lions might be an okay bet. That's a hold your nose and bet it.
I might sprinkle the money line on the Lions and I might do it for the rest of the year until they win a game because every time they lose, hopefully their odds the next week will go way, way up as an underdog. So eventually if you keep betting the Lions money line, you're guaranteed to win unless they don't win a game, which is very likely.
Hank, you're underdog. You love them all.
I do love them all, always, as always. But we just talked about this game.
I've been saying it for two weeks. Lions.
Lions. Straight up money line.
Yep. Giving them to me all.
Every which way. Every which way.
Every which way. I feel like Mike Tomlin respects Dan Campbell.
Because the way that Dan Campbell speaks is like a first-grade translation of what Mike Tomlin says when he speaks. Just makes it a little bit easier if you don't have the vocabulary necessary to interpret Mike-isms.
Yeah, they're going to have a very hearty handshake at midfield before the game. For sure.
Absolutely. Okay, Lions.
Lions. Bubba.
I'm taking the Eagles plus two and a half. Ooh.
Whoa. Okay.
Yeah, I just don't think the Broncos are that good. Yeah.
And last week they looked really good. I don't know what to make of the Eagles at this point because they did play the Chargers well, but who the fuck knows? Yeah, I don't mind that one, Bubba.
That's another one of those games that follows the trend of we're idiots with extremely short-term memories. Right.
Yeah, the Broncos coming off a huge, huge win, but throw in the fact that similar to Cleveland Browns with Odell, maybe Vaughn Miller not asking everyone for money makes the Broncos coming off a huge, huge win. But throw in the fact that, similar to Cleveland Browns with Odell, maybe Vaughn Miller not asking everyone for money makes the Broncos just a good team now.
The human element. I'm going to go with the Saints, plus three at the Titans.
And this is my doesn't make any sense game of the week. I don't want to bet on the Saints, but the fact that I don't want to bet on them so hard makes me want to bet on them harder.
And I think a lot of people are trying to time the Titans because they are the most disrespected team in the NFL, in my opinion. I don't hate the bet.
I just think that this is one where we talked about it a little bit on Sunday night where Sean Payton needs to get into his bag. Yeah.
And Sean, he needs to do some weird shit. And I think that he, I think he respects Mike Vrabel.
I think they're kind of like bros as far as coaches go. Vrabel is an honorary Parcells guy, I think.
If Parcells had coached with Mike Vrabel, they would have gotten along swimmingly. Yes.
Two and a half. Two and a half.
Two and a half a change. Okay, so Saints probably Alvin Kamara playing, because I know he was iffy for a little bit there.
Saints plus two and a half at the Titans. Just a quick update here on the OBJ saga.
Schefter's just going on a rampage now. Oh, no.
Is he trying to bury his tweet? No, no, no. He's tripling, quadrupling down, saying Monday Night Football, Rams at Niners, Odell Beckham Jr., Cooper Cup, Robert Woods.
So he's saying that this is happening. Okay, so he's doing it.
And it's been confirmed by LeBron James.

Really?

As well, yeah.

LBJ just weighed in.

I'm telling you, LeBron got freed OBJ to LA.

LeBron says, welcome to LA, my brother, at OBJ.

It's go time.

We freed him.

Also, the Rams official website tweeted a press release and deleted it.

Oh.

The plot thickens.

Wow.

Okay.

So I'm going to assume he's a Ram.

He's a Ram.

Yes.

I'm going to go ahead and deleted it. Oh.
The plot thickens. Wow.
All right. Okay.
So I'm going to assume he's a Ram. He's a Ram.
Yes. All right.
My underdog, I love my underdog. It's his gross one.
I like the Panthers plus 10 and a half against the Cardinals. I just, Kyler Murray probably will play, but he also is maybe a little injured.
I don't know. If it's Colt McCoy, Colt McCoy is very good for that one start.
Who knows what he is the second start. I just think this is Cardinals off of an emotional big win with all their backups in San Francisco.
Panthers look terrible against the Patriots. Sam Darnold is out, which is a plus for the Panthers in my opinion.
Ten and a half. Give it to me.
I like it. Yeah.
I like it a lot. Give it to me.
I think Cam's going to look sick out in Arizona. Is he actually playing? I don't think so.
Is he dressing? This also follows your rule. It does follow the rule.
Because the Cardinals killed him. Right.
And with Colt McCoy, you're right. Every season he gets in as a backup, and he's way better than you think he's going to be as a backup.
Yep. And then there's too much film on Colt McCoy the next week, and they know how to shut him down.
Yes, yes. Going home after a big win with the backup quarterback, actually reminiscent to what the Cowboys did, where the Cowboys won with Cooper Rush in Minnesota, came home and laid an egg with the Broncos.
Cardinals go, win big game with Colt McCoy in San Francisco, come home, maybe lay an egg against the Panthers.

This is P.J. Walker then that's probably going to be starting for the Panthers.

I'm more betting on Christian McCaffrey.

Right, right.

You remember a couple years ago when Kyle Allen, I think he went to Arizona.

It was the battle of Kyle versus Kyler.

Yes.

And the Panthers went out west and beat the Cardinals in Arizona. I'm pretty that's how it happened we're due for a weird late afternoon Cardinals game too we're like wait what's going on the 405's, fuck the 405's stop doing 405, have everything be 425 so the gamblers have time to get their picks in Billy my underdog's Jess plus 12 Mike White, you never saw that coming well this one like, I'm going back to my 50-50 But guess what Mike White said today What'd he say? He said If you ask me I should have been a first overall pick Whoa Yeah Doesn't hurt for confidence I like it But should we Should we throw in like the fantasy football guy Like that's just bad value? Yeah Cause like I mean even if he ends up being Like Tom Brady should have been the first overall pick But that's technically bad value Because you can get him in the sixth round True Mike Wade should have said He should be the well actually guy I should have been the first overall pick In the round I was drafted in Yes That would have been good value That was kind of a shot Zach Wilson though Yeah Honestly that gave me bad vibes When I read it But I Wait It's in Paradise.
Well, this isn't actually like a pick I want to win.

Okay, got it.

This is the loss.

You know what's crazy is if you showed me a picture of Zach Wilson, I would think that like if you were in a computer game, his name would be Mike White.

He looks more like a Mike White than a Zach.

Yes.

I agree.

I think Mike White actually looks more like a Zach than Zach does.

Name swap it.

Freaky Friday. Maybe they Freaky Friday'd their skills, too.
Mm-hmm. All right, Jake.
So bad vibes for the Jets. You're losing this game.
You're trying to lose this game. Got it.
I'm going to take the Seahawks plus 3.5 at the Packers. DK, as he said on the show, going to score and bring back the Piss celebration.
Very happy about that. Is Aaron Rodgers playing? There's been a much debated topic around these hallways that the line does not reflect that he's playing.
If he's not in prison. I think it depends still.
He still has to get tested closer to the game. Got it.
So we could be seeing Blake dressing. Yeah.
I actually have no idea. If you're the Packers, do you roll the dice on Jordan Love again? I don't know.
Give the people what they want. Give them Blake.
Oh, breaking moves. Chris Long just tweeted, I'm hearing Odell to the Rams.
Oh, but he's probably stoned off his ass. Yeah.
So we can't give that any credit. Is he hearing that because he read the tweet? I'm just reporting.
Okay. Priscilla's definitely going to report it in like 40 minutes.
Wait, what were we just talking about? Seahawks 3.5, Grant Rodgers Wait, Vaughn Miller just posted an Instagram story with Odell on FaceTime saying let's chase this ring family Okay, so it's official That's official That's as official as it gets Thank you, Billy That's why Going back to Sunday This is why Billy has an important role in this room You're finding the deep corners of the internet to get it to us. Dumpster diver.
Internet anthropologist. You think if DK had promised to do a fake shit in the end zone on Sunday that Odell would have been like, you know what, I'm thinking Seahawks.
So to go back to your question, do they roll the dice to Jordan Love again? It does feel the one seed is very, very important, but the Packers always lose the NFC Championship game in Lambeau. So maybe they're trying not to get the one seed.
I don't know. I still remember when I was growing up, every announcer would just be like, nobody wins in Lambeau in January.
And then – But then Eli Manning happened. Michael Vick happened.
Michael Vick, yeah. The two maybe – Almost Joe Webb.
Yeah. Almost Joe Webb.
Two most athletic quarterbacks, Eli and Mike. Matt LaFleur is confident in Rodgers.
Okay, but COVID effects. Who knows? So this line is probably saying he's going to play, right? Yeah, maybe it ends up at four, four and a half, but three and a half, you're locking it in.
Okay, return of the Seahawks. I've got my tinfoil hat.
I've got my ivermectin skin patch on about how the NFL has dealt with this whole Aaron Rodgers thing. Pretty sure that the NFL, according to their own rules, should have suspended Aaron Rodgers.
Yes. Yeah.
Yeah. Should have fined him.
Yeah. And they're covering up the fact that he just ignored all the protocols because he's Aaron Rodgers and the rules don't apply to him.
Yeah. And they're like, you know what? We could have Aaron Rodgers sit out for multiple weeks, but I really like ratings.
Imagine if that happened to the Patriots. Tom Brady gets that call.
Again, you said it, not me, but just seriously, imagine. You should be championing Mike Florio.
Mike Florio is going to lose his goddamn mind. I'm always championing Mike Florio.
I appreciate he's doing it because I side with him on this,

that Aaron Rodgers should be in jail.

I mean, the CeeDee Lamb tweet, you saw that one?

What?

It's like, CeeDee Lamb got fined $20,000 for not tucking his shirt in.

Aaron Rodgers got fined $14,000 for lying to the NFL for like seven months.

That's like a lying version of the old Ray Rice tweet.

Yeah.

Yeah, Ray Rice, two-game suspension.

OJ Simpson, still free. Yep, still eligible for the Hall of Fame.
All right. You're over, Hank.
My over is the Bills-Jets. You can just black out the Jets part of it.
The Patriots scored 54 on the Jets. When they played them, the Bills should be able to do this on their own, if they're as good as people say they are.

Mr. I&T.

I like it.

Josh Allen, number one quarterback.

The over-under for the game is 47 and a half.

You have a lot of room to spare with the Bills scoring 54.

Yeah.

Easy.

Right.

Easy.

Okay, Bubba, you're over.

I'm doing Pats Browns over 45, which seems pretty low. Also my over.
Okay. Done.
PFT. My over, I'm going to go Seahawks Packers.
Ooh. Seahawks Packers, I think that there's going to be a points fest.
Is it Rodgers or no Rodgers factor into that? In my data, I'm incorporating Aaron Rodgers. I just don't see the NFL living in a world where we're like, yeah, Aaron Rodgers is out again.
The meteorologists who work at Barstool, Glenny Balls and Hannah, said there might be some snow flurries. Great.
Love it. Love snow football.
That's the best time of year. Definitely doesn't matter.
I fucking love cocaine memes going. Snow matters the other way.
Remember that Lions-Eagles game when everyone bet the under

and the over was so easy because no one could actually tackle or do anything?

Well, that's different because that was a LaShawn McCoy snow game.

And he will go down in history as the best snow player of all time.

Yes.

All right, my over is Vikings-Chargers.

We alluded to this game.

The Vikings really need to win this game. I do think that given that the Chargers can't stop the run and the Vikings' secondary – well, actually, no, their secondary has been okay at times, but their defense has been – I think they were on the field for like 80 plays or something last week.
I think this is going to be a points fiesta. Over 53.
Vikings, Chargers,

low-key, great

helmet and uniform matchup.

Yes. No, this is a bounce-back game

for the Chargers, for sure. Yeah.
Well, they won.

It's a bounce-back game. Bounce-back for

the franchise, yes.

Okay, Billy, your over

was also the Browns Patriots.

Jake, your over was?

Sunday night, Kansas City, Las Vegas, 51 and a half. Ooh, let's talk about that game real quick.
I have given Hank orders, and I want everyone to hear this, that no matter what is said in the room on Sunday night in Hoboken, do not, under any circumstances, bet on the Chiefs. And I was thinking about this last night when I was watching Advisors and what I did to guarantee this because we have made a pact after some tumultuous Sundays to not bet on opposite sides on Sunday night just for the vibes sake, for the sake of the podcast vibes.
I already bet on the Raiders. Okay.
So you can't – I'm going to – You're in. I'm in too.
Because I don't, the Chiefs, the problem with the Chiefs this year is that they're now, what, two and seven against the spread, I want to say. If you think about them long enough, you can talk yourself into them being back.
Which is why I just was like, if we're going to do this, I'm going to do this now. So that way I can't, I can't, I can't go against myself.
I can't go against you. Nope.
Nope. Okay.
All right. But you could on the Barstool Sportsbook app, you could cash out and then just, nope.
Okay, alright, but you could

on the Barstool Sportsbook app, you could cash out

and then bet. Less money, though.
Yeah, but you

could do it. What about just taking the

over and just riding or dying? 51 and a half.

You could also do that. I already bet on the Raiders.

You're kind of betting on the Raiders, but you're also

thinking, you allow yourself to think in the back of your head

the Chiefs could go out and score 40.

The Chiefs are, though, officially in the

they-have-to-prove-it-to-me category

before I believe that they are

going to be the team that they have been in the past.

Because we just watched... I mean, that Packers game,

if Jordan Love was even

average, the Packers

would have won that game. Yeah, really bad.

The Chiefs are really, really bad right now.

But I think I'm just going to take the 51-and-a-half

on that. That seems like stealing.

That's Jake's over. Okay, you're under.
Hank, do not let me bet the Chiefs on Sunday night. People, remind me.
Tweet me. Don't let me do it.
I'm the guy talking off of his game of the year win. I just realized I wrote this down.
We've had like 25 minutes of conversation about it. But in my calculations, my statistics, my everything, I have Aaron Rodgers not playing russell wilson is coming off an injury so isn't going to be you know 100 i have my under as the seahawks packers obviously that goes against everything we just said but i'm sticking with it okay i like it more so i mean the russell wilson thing got to consider like is he you know he's been taking.
Yeah. He has.
He's, he's game ready. We'll see.
He did the succession video. True.
Still haven't gotten an explanation for. I really wish, uh, someone would just ask him, how does you coming back have anything to do with succession? Yeah.
Cause it's like, if you're saying the Seahawks are succession, you're saying they're a super dysfunctional family that is just constantly, you know, battling each other. other.
They're still on top for right now. Not really.
No. They're still rich.
The run is over. They're still rich, though.
Their Super Bowl window is basically done. Is Aaron Rodgers Stewie? I actually think he might be.
I haven't watched this week's episode. Okay, sorry.
Adrian Brody? Adrian Brody. No, Stewie is the other guy who's friends with Kendall, who they've been trying to take over for the last three seasons.
No spoilers there. I think Adrian Brody is Aaron Rodgers.
Got it. Got it.
The people of Green Bay are Adrian Brody. They own stock.
The stockholders, yes. Okay.
Adrian Brody's got a pretty nice house in succession. Very nice.
Yeah. Also, a really nice vest.
Yes. Yes.
Very nice vest. Under, Liam.
I'm taking Jags Colts under 47 and a half. Okay.
Now, are you concerned about the baby factor? No, I think both these teams stick. So, the baby factor, yeah.
Explain it, PFT. So, Carson Wentz's wife is going to have their second kid scheduled to come out on Sunday.
Carson Wentz

That's not how childbirth works. No, they've got an appointment

and so

Carson Wentz says, if the baby comes

on Sunday, I'm still going to play.

Breaking moves? There's a baby?

No, no baby. The Los Angeles

Rams have officially tweeted

the Rams have agreed to terms with wide receiver

OBJ. So, okay.
Saga's

finished. So now we also have to go

back in time right now and say

Rappaport was actually the salty bitch

Thank you. The Rams have agreed to terms with wide receiver OBJ.
So, Saga's finished. So, now we also have to go back in time right now and say Rappaport was actually the salty bitch there.
Yeah. Because he was trying to basically say it's not done yet when Schefter had the report.
Yeah, so somebody on the Packers hit up Rappaport and was like, wait, it's not done yet. Rappaport believed them.
Got the wool pulled over his eyes. Meanwhile, Adam Schefter's high-stepping in the end zone, retweeting like seven tweets confirming his report.
Yes. Wait, so what were we just saying? Oh, the baby factor.
The baby has an appointment to come out on Sunday. Now, there are baby appointments.
I don't think they actually made one. No, I'm saying the baby made an appointment to come out on Sunday.
Football guy. And, yeah, he's going to hit the hole on Sunday afternoon.
And Carson Wentz said, guess what? If the baby comes, I have a football game to play in. So even if the roof is open on Mrs.
Wentz, it's going to be Carson Wentz under center. I kind of like this because this just shows that Carson Wentz is the same privately as he is publicly on the field.
He just puts himself in terrible situations that he's going to be like, I'll explain this away to my wife. Like, I'll miss my child's birth and I'll be able to get myself out of this.
I like to imagine that Carson didn't tell his wife and then she found out through a report in the news. He can get himself out of anything.
The guy is just putting, he is writing so many checks that his ass can't cash. And good luck to Carson Wentz.
I do like the fact, though, that he's willing to go out there and say that. And I hate the Jaguars, and so I'm going to be betting on the Colts on Sunday.
You've got to go with Baby Magic.

This feels similar

to the Cowboys game, to the Bills game.

You see the Jaguars win as big

underdogs. Everyone's going to be saying,

ooh, let's do it again. I don't think so.

Mrs. Wentz has this marked as a push.

Alright, PFT, you're

under. My under, I'm going to go with

the land under. The Rouse under.
I don't know, I'm still workshopping that under. My under, I'm going to go with the land under.

The Rouse under.

I don't know, I'm still workshopping that one.

Yeah.

Tampa Bay, Washington.

Keep that in the workshop.

It should be the land over.

Burn the workshop.

Land over was definitely a Clown Antonio Brown moment. The under 51, and so it's just the Washington football team being like,

hey, we're going to bring a good team down to our level

and just make you play a real shit fest.

Off a bye.

Off a bye.

I looked up the stats, Ron Rivera off a by three and seven career not good but you know who really gives a shit bruce arians is like two and two off a buy doesn't matter they're just gonna it's gonna be like a 40 to 7 game so i'm giving myself what four points of wiggle room there yeah steven che hit me up and he was like hey we're gonna watch the game together on sunday andoken, buddy? And I was like, yeah. And then I think he said, get ready for some pain.
And I was like, Stephen, I think you don't understand the fact that you're the one that has to watch the Washington football team play this Sunday. So, yeah, not great for either one of us.
No. Okay, my under, I'm going to take the Eagles-Broncos.
Eagles-Broncos under 45 and a half. I don't know.
That just feels like some drive stalled around the 40. I feel like both those guys just, you know.
Just titty bumping? Yeah, just running around pillow fighting all afternoon. Billy.
Lions-Steelers, I feel like it's going to be a kneecap-biting game. Lions are going to be scrappy.
Steelers are going to be low scoring. Lions are just going to try to crawl their way out of it.

How does a team crawl their way out of something?

Well, they're Lions.

Yeah, it's true.

Lions pit.

Lions den?

You're saying the Lions den?

The snake pit?

Daniel Campbell in the Lions den.

It's 43 now?

Oh, 43.

Okay.

Good pick, Billy.

We've got to start saying good pick to each other more often because none of these picks are ever good. Nice picks.
Jake, finish us off and then we'll hit any. I think we hit every game, but if we didn't, we will do that.
I am in with Liam. Colts, Jags, 47 and a half.
Okay. Under.
Okay. Did we hit every game? I believe we did.
Oh, I had one other thing I want to bring up about the Patriots-Browns game. Hank, did you see that Jared Mayo and Steve Belichick have a fart machine? Love it.
I did not see that. Guy stuff.
Yeah, just guys being dudes. Hilarious.
So they were doing interviews. That's how you keep the locker room light.
Yeah, Troy Brown was doing a media with you. I think it was like a media interview.
I forget who it was with, maybe TV station. And so they just left the fart machine behind and started setting it off during his interview.

I love that, though.

As far as I know, that's Steve Belichick's entire job,

is to just be a prank guy.

Every team needs someone like that. I mean, farts will always play until the end of time.

Always.

There's never been a non-funny fart,

especially when PFT does it during the podcast.

Yeah, or when Joe Biden does it on The Queen, or whoever that was. That's probably a top-funny fart, especially when PFT does it during the podcast.
Yeah. Or when Joe Biden does it on the Queen or whoever that was.

That's probably a top five fart.

The fart on Bob Costas' pillow at the Olympics.

Good fart.

Mike Dicka's fart.

That one had a long shelf life of hilarity.

Yeah.

It had a domino effect.

Yes.

All right.

My sleeper is that JMU Dukes who aren't in a conference. So I'm fucking sleeping.
It's like you didn't have any shit together here. I didn't have my sleeper just yet.
Instead of that, I'm going to say that my sleeper this weekend is going to be Pat Fryer-Muth from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's got a fun name to say.
The Muth. Love it.
All right, what's up, guys? It's Angelo Giuseppio. My stardom is Frank Kaminsky.
Frank the Tank, 31 points on Wednesday night. 31 points on Wednesday night in an NBA game.
In an NBA game. Suck my dick to all the haters.
Frank the Tank is here to stay. He was like 12 or 18 shooting.
Fuck yes, Frank the Tank. The enforcer.
Hell yeah. My sit-em is Billy because if Billy wants a seat today on Veterans Day, I'll give mine up for him.
My sleeper is shit. That's what you're doing right now.
Here's how I tell it. In full disclosure, I wrote down Mahomes Because I was going to say Mahomes is going to have a breakout game On Sunday I'm going to bet the Chiefs But I remembered myself that I got to bet the Raiders And not to bet the Chiefs I'm already trying to talk myself into the Chiefs So my real sleeper is Michigan Michigan football if I lose my game of the year tonight That's going to be my next game of the year Jim Harbaugh finally winning a big game at Penn State.
Oh, also, shout out Jake, because that alarm is for him to give me a reminder. Remember your laptop and your backpack.
All right, thank you. Oh, my God.
What up? It's Gio Ragganese. Gio.
Wait, Jake. We'll send another reminder for like 20 minutes later.
Perfect. My stardom is Timberland Boots.
It's Tim season, boys.

Get your Tims out. You're wearing white shoes,

though. You're wearing sneakers.
Yeah, but I'm gonna bring out my Tims tomorrow. Damn, Billy, back at it again

with the white shoes. Laces.

Laces. Because we're getting new ones.

Oh, you're getting new ones? I'm getting new ones.

Oh, fuck. Shit.
I'm gonna scuff those up.

My sit-em is Christmas music. People are

whipping out Christmas music way too early this

year. They're already playing Christmas music.
It's not Thanksgiving yet. Don't play the Christmas music.
Don't disrespect the seven fishes. Too many.
Too many. Too many.
Too many. Too many.
Too many. Too many.
Too many. And my sleeper is Jameson Crowder.
Because I got a feeling. Oh, yeah? Got a feeling.
Hooked on a feeling? Got a feeling. That what? That Jameson Crowder is going to go off.
Okay. That sounds like a lock.
We got Jacoby Myers and Jameson Crowder and Patrick Mahomes all going off.

I think, honestly, I think the Chiefs might clown him.

Oh, what?

I think the Chiefs might clown him.

We have to do everything we can to not pet the Chiefs on Sunday night.

I think there's a clown.

I wrote down Mahomes because I thought that he was going to be really good.

This is anti-Italian discrimination against Rich Basicchia.

He might start clowning.

Fuck. Because they do.
They're prone to clowning the teams. Just saying.
Just bet on the Raiders now with me. I will do it.
The second I get to New Jersey the next time, which will be Sunday, I'll bet on it. I'll do it.
I'll do it. I got you.

Okay, we now welcome on a very good friend of ours, recurring guest, Rob Lowe. He has the second season, season two of his podcast, literally, with Rob Lowe.
It's coming out now, and new episodes are releasing now, which we we just have to say you made it because a lot of times people want to do a podcast and they don't know the grind you're now on season two you've interviewed a ton of people it's a successful podcast you deserve congratulations how difficult is it to do a podcast and tell us why we're the hardest working people in the world you guys are people don't it's a grind it you know you the uh you don't get to take a week off or a day off particularly you know people who do daily you know um i do one a week um and it's a lot but i love it it's everything i thought it would be because to have people you know that i love and that the people in the are interested in on, and then get to really get down with them and do it in a way that you're not going to be able to do on any other show has been a blast. And, and I love that people are loving it and coming up to me on the street and going, I heard your interview with Matthew McConaughey, man.
And it's like, it's very cool. Yeah.
I don't like the fact that you have an age doing this podcast because that was always our excuse for why we're looking so, so poor these days.

So you tell me what you have.

You have, you have sunglasses on in the studio right now.

I do.

You really are.

You're worried about it.

Clearly.

I'm very worried about it.

I'm just, I'm concerned.

You want me to go raw dog?

I'll take the glasses off, Rob.

I have gray hair.

Can I see it?

So many gray hairs.

So I'm dying.

Here we go i think you're beautiful i i'm i'm i'm under the sway of your eyes but i also think that the sunglasses are very jack nicholson courtside detroit pistons era okay yes what do you think ages you faster uh doing a podcast or living through the 80s oh living through the 80s 100 i mean listen those are those were the days when they told you cocaine was good for you good no it was it was good it was good for you and it was what successful people did yeah don't I know uh-huh i was actually thinking about it i know i think we've talked about this when you've been on before but um i think it was a 40 year anniversary of uh saint elmo's was that recently i believe it's it's coming up i think it might be 30 35 it was 30 when we did it yeah because i Because I think, yeah, we're right around 35 because 80, 1985. And I'm terrible with math.
That's right. Anything to avoid math.
That's right. Either way.
I was just I saw a picture and the Brat Pack and I was just thinking like, God damn it. If I could if I could go back and be anyone, it might be like Rob Lowe in the 80s or a member of the Brat Pack in the eighties, because fame had to be so much more fun then than it is now.
And all the things that come with fame in today's day, dude, I mean, look, I am not one of those people that, that, you know, that, that looks back on the glory days. Cause I actually have never been happier than I am right now or having more fun or any of that.
But that said, if you and I could jump into a time machine to 1985 and I thought about it, it's 85. It's not 84.
It's not 86. It's 85.
It was pretty epic. Pretty epic.
In fact, I'm, I'm working on a documentary on the Brat Pack and those years. And I think it's going to be super, super fun.
And all of the stories. Because it was a very specific – it was pre-internet, pre-AIDS, pre – we thought Coke was good for us.
Boy, we had it wrong on every account, didn't we? Yeah, I was going to say, you guys really predicted things incorrectly there. We're never going to have consequences.
Yeah, fuck. Yeah, 1985, the year both of us were born.
So I'm fascinated with that just because, you know, we're both 90s kids, not 80s kids.s felt like I don't know it just feels years ago yeah it feels 100 years ago but it also feels like there's something about the 80s that uh was so cool that I can't really put my finger on and maybe I it might be totally off but I every time I think about the Brat Pack I think about that you're not you're not off. It was cool because there was an innocence.
There was a harmlessness and an innocence. And people really truly just wanted – like Cyndi Lauper said, they just wanted to have fun.
And it was a great time. I'm super, super glad.
I was thinking like would there have been a better time to have been famous? And I'm like – nobody wants to be famous in 1930. Right.
I don't think. I think the Roaring Twenties.
When Prohibition was a thing, you got the speakeasies. And no taxes.
Yeah. And no taxes.
But the problem – I've thought about this a lot too because the problem with with being famous maybe before I'd say like 1970 is there were so few famous people that it's like no one, you know what I mean? Like you were the famous, like Marilyn Monroe was the famous person kind of thing. So it's like you'd want there to be a little bit more fame around that you could mingle with.
Maybe not what it is today where everyone can get famous but i think it yeah somewhere in the 80s might be the sweet spot well because the other thing is in those in the 50s 60s 40s 30s whatever it was there were still really intense societal norms that you had to kind of abide by or if you didn't want to it had to be on the down low and post the 60s and into the 70s, it was a fucking free-for-all.

Yeah.

So... by or if you didn't want to it had to be on the down low and you know post the 60s and into the

70s it was a fucking free-for-all yeah so there's that part of it i've got one more 80s question because i've always been curious about the whole neon aspect of the 80s when you were living through that were you just like wow holy shit these colors are brighter than normal why was everything neon Dude, I had a neon sculpture in my house.

Oh, hell yes.

Of a cactus i had a neon cactus in in my very first house that i ever i ever had i don't know what why and again neon had been around for a long time yeah i know i that aesthetic can be traced back to a movie called American gigolo, which was Richard gear. And it was a, I just watched it again recently that, um, Miami vice were the two things that like made that look that we consider the eighties, the thing it was, it was those two things.
And it was a lot of neon and a lot of pastels and a lot of popped collars. Like, what was – like, I would – if we were doing this in the 80s, this is how I would be wearing this shirt.
Yes. I feel like popped collars are coming back too.
Pop collars, jean shorts, fanny packs, all that stuff. Fanny packs are 90s.
Oh, yeah, that's right. That's true.
true you're right you're right yeah man something about the 80s i think it's i think it's also just an infatuation of when you were born like what was going on in the world then when you were you know when you came into the world so 1985 yeah that's the that was when rob low was at his peak the young the young well i honestly, I mean, I feel like I'm at my peak now. Okay.
But that iteration of me, the teen idol, that was the peak of the teen idol. Yes.
For sure. But now you're a podcaster, which is way better.
Yeah. Way more important.
I mean, what could be sexier? Teen idol, movie star, or podcaster? I mean, come on. I think we all know it's pod okay so is it not yeah back to the podcast have you had the moment yet where you've uh had to tell someone that you have a podcast and saying it out loud makes you feel like a real fucking douchebag i know right it's like it's like i have a i have a vlog yeah or a blog it sucks and i have a podcast dude when i oh that would be the yeah that would be the one that would be the one where i would cut i would saw my own head off after i said the phrase i'm an influencer i'm i'm running into it now because i have uh two kids and what i'm doing like you know either when they go to school or like you know parties and someone asked me what i do when i say a podcaster and the minute say it, I just want to like shrink up into a ball because anyone can podcast.
It's not like, so it truly it, it, it, you're bringing, bringing Rob Lowe down to our level when you have to tell someone that you have a podcast. See, I like to run my career in reverse.
Like I started out as a movie star and then I ended up as a podcaster and, and I, I, you I started out as a movie star and then I ended up as a podcaster.

And I started out as a movie star and then I went on the road with my one man show. I'm running everything in reverse now.
And I think it's working. Do you feel that because of your experience in show business, the people that you talk to, they open up more easily to you? So on this show, I feel like sometimes people open up to us just because we're so dumb and we're so unusual.
And they're like, wait, this isn't a real, no one's going to listen to this. So sometimes we trick them.
But with you, I feel like since you have a lot of that shared background with some of the people that you have on, I don't know, do they feel like they're telling you stuff they you stuff they don't tell other people? Oh, 100%. Because, and a lot of the guests I have a history with, and I'll tell a story that only they and I know happened.
And that's been great. So like when I had, you know, I think the Gwyneth Paltrow episode and, and the Matthew McConaughey, those are like icons that they're in in the press all the time we all probably think we know everything we need to know about them we all probably have our opinions made on both those people they're they're lightning rods and good and bad like there's no there's not a mystery with those two and I and what I'm really proud of of what my show I think, is there's a side of them that you never would have imagined.
Because I know a side of them that people aren't going to know because of my history with them. Yeah.
When you first came – or no, sorry. We first had you on when we were in L.A., but then we had you on again before your podcast launched.
gave you an assignment everyone should go listen to the episode with Magic Johnson but can you tell us what you found out about Magic Johnson and his tweets I could how about this I have new and breaking news oh hell yes let's go last night I found out that Magic Johnson does not physically do any of the tweets he which may explain some of it so it's articulated clearly across the room or while he's doing 17 other things as a titan of industry and then there is a a woman whose job is to figure out what he's talking about and make it a tweet. So that's the latest wrinkle, which I think might, might warrant some further exploration.
Okay. So he's just, is it, do you think he says like send tweet or is it, he's just talking and she's like, Oh, that seemed like something important.
Well, maybe that's you i think have hit it i think he doesn't say send tweet so she never knows when it's ended yeah that makes sense so you so you get what you get because i can promise you here's what it's not hey hello, hello, I have an idea for a tweet. Are you ready? Lakers look very stiff tonight, period.
Perhaps they need a change in the lineup, period. Send that.
I don't think that's happening. Right.
Okay, this makes sense though because a lot of his tweets are just matter of fact like the Lakers were great last night and lebron looked young so he's just saying that out loud in conversation and then it gets filtered through this woman's brain out into the world and then he's a viral sensation yeah and and which just goes to show you never know what's going to be viral and what isn't. And by the way, knowing magic like I do, I've known I've literally known him since his rookie year.
I'm not sure he's aware of what a viral sensation is. I mean, I talked to him, you know, I talked to him about it, obviously, because you guys told me to.
And I'm nothing if not a friend of the part of my take, you know, universe.

I remember what you told me to do.

And I asked him about it on on my podcast. obviously, because you guys told me to, and I'm nothing if not a friend of the, pardon my take, you know, universe.

I remember what you told me to do,

and I asked him about it on my podcast.

And it's, like, I just, I'm fascinated with it.

He is, his Twitter is so perfect.

I hope it never, ever changes.

I hope he never gets aware of it.

Have you talked to him about the Lakers?

Because he's been tweeting a lot about,

or excuse me, the woman in his life.

He's been speaking a lot about the Lakers.

One tweet I saw was just, wow, exclamation point.

I don't know how you're like yep okay he just said wow i'm gonna put that out there but it was just like a maserati drove by and he was just wow you had to figure out what it's i think it might have been about the lakers i can't be sure but he did say the lakers have a team issue and a basketball issue. Does he actually, does he ever mistake you for Rob Palenka? Oh, yes.
That's, that's all a genie bus thing. The Rob Palenka thing, that's a genie bus obsession.
Whenever she sees me, she calls me Palenka. And did I tell you guys that I came in and made a speech to the, to the ownership group as Rob pulling? I told you that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yes. You know, um, which is super funny and point is great, but, um, yeah, I don't know what's going on with the Lakers.
I just don't, I just don't know. And I don't think it, it's one of those things when it's the good news and bad news about having somebody like LeBron is there.
They're such a, there's such gravity, a big planet. planet.
All the gravity goes to them. And the minute, like if it's good, it's because of them.
And if it's bad, it's because of them. And so if you want it to change, it isn't changing as long as that planet's there.
Yeah. In my humble opinion.
What do you think about Russell Westbrook being like the perfect scapegoat for LeBron this year?

Because if Westbrook goes out and he's got bad nights and he's ball dominant and they lose a game because he has another one of his Russell Westbrook nights, as Skip Bayless would put it, that's perfect for LeBron to skate by and to be like, well, it's not my fault. It's Russell Westbrook.
Yeah, I mean, everybody thought when that was going to be a great match,

somebody who can take the pressure off LeBron and move the ball around and get it to various players all that stuff and you know look maybe it'll maybe it'll work itself out you just don't know I mean it's like um you know I'm a huge Dodger fan and we watched Cody Bellinger struggle and struggle and struggle and struggling like holy mother of god and you know when he needed to at the end of this season he put it all together and he was cody again yeah um the so nfl you're a fan of the league in general give us your i'm a league i'm a league fan your league fan so give us your take on how the league is going right now i think last the sunday was a great sunday for league, not a good Sunday for my Rams.

Yep.

But I always, I always, and there's usually, there's that, that this week happens every year. You just never know when it's going to be.
Right. And this, this, this year was this week.
And it just goes to show you that anybody can lose on any given time. I don't know if it's you.
Do you feel like the quality of football football it's never been more glaring between a well-coached team and a team that isn't well coached i mean there's always been that disparity but for me watching the league this year i i really feel like the quality of play overall is sloppy yeah maybe that's just me i i tend to agree with that i also think that nothing will make a good team play worse than when they play against a sloppy team like the sloppy teams are bringing the good teams level play down to down to their level when they play yep it's as we all know like i play tennis it's the same thing if you play somebody who's bad in tennis you're going to be awful and I never thought of it having an analogy with the NBA but I think you're absolutely right what's your serve like what's your second serve like um my thing is my first serve is good enough that I don't even do a second serve oh because yeah so I give you two first serves because mathematically I'm going to get one of them in.

Oh, okay.

So you don't take anything off the second serve?

No, I don't because it's good enough. And what I don't want to do is give you some elephant ball second serve that you can deal on.

I'd rather go, I'm going to have X amount of double uh double faults i know it it's built into the game plan but i'm also gonna have i'm not gonna have anybody dealing on my second serve either so who's your goat is it federer jokovic oh boy you know what it's i love them both but i i've and i've seen them both i've i gotta go i think it's i think it's i don't man it's really hard but federer joke jokovic's gumbyness is an unbelievable thing the man is gumby where you see his ankles twisted over as he's going side to side but federer glides i never saw him break a sweat i never saw him even look like he was trying he was the most graceful

it's like he was on rollers i don't think i've ever seen anything like it he's the he's the um who's the great spaniard um nadal he's like the anti-nadal like nadal's out there giving it all he's got to be carted off the field and and federer never broke a sweat yeah i mean the answer is Djokovic, but that's okay. You tried.

We just... I don't disagree

with you no we we like to have fun with tennis because we're not big tennis guys so we the the key to any sports debate is if you don't watch the sport just try to insert yourself into the goat debate and figure out what will piss the most people off and you can get in easily there I like that yeah it's a little life i like that uh that's a life hack i'll do that when they're talking about australian rules football yeah like that's what i'm gonna do yeah just pick one guy and be like no he's the goat and just you know go counterculture to everything else um do you talk trash during tennis no i i'm oh when i'm playing yeah yes oh i talk trash all the time I love you talk trash during tennis? No, I'm, Oh, when I'm playing. Yeah.
Yes. Oh, I talk trash all the time.
I love, I talk trash. Dude, I was all over Jose Altuve this year.
Like you, there's not me and a million other people, but it's so satisfying. And, and I like, but I like to go to try to find a way in that is a little different.
Like everybody's like going cheater, cheater. And my thing was like, where's your buzzer? Nice.
Are you wearing a wire? Where's your butt? You know, and it's super fun. It's, I think it's a great, the smart high road heckle should be embraced across sports.
Yes. Do you feel like they kind of skated by, though, because in the COVID year, they didn't have to deal with all the fans around them.
I feel like they still haven't really – I'll still be 50 years old screaming at the Houston Astros, even though I'm sure there are a bunch of teams that probably cheat at the same time. But they're the ones that got caught.
I'll probably still be mad at them at that point. But I feel like they never really got their comeuppance for the cheating well they well they definitely didn't and here's what i learned about them they're the kind of player that responds to the taunting like the if you're a dodger fan and they come in and your ultimate goal is to have the dodgers win you should say nothing to the astros like if you could figure out a way to get all of the fans to be deadly silent, I think that would be the worst thing you could, the best slash worst thing you could do, because those guys thrive on it now.
They're like, yeah, we'll show you. You know, they have all of this to prove, and they kind of did in a way this year.
But, yeah, i i think the altuve don't take my shirt off is one of the great undisputed pieces of bad acting bullshit i've ever seen in my life it's amazing and i remember when it happened live i was like what is this bullshit i'm watching i had no idea what it was but it was like patently obvious i didn't know anything about cheating didn't know anything about the skin didn't know anything about anything other than this guy was lying through his teeth about he wanting to take his shirt off for no reason on national television I didn't get it and then it all made sense he was like a fat kid at a pool like no I'm good I don't need to take my shirt off you can you understand why a fat kid at a pool doesn't want to take their shirt off he there's no reason for him to not take his shirt off coming around third base going to home no and then and then it's and then after the weird gesticulating it's his wife and he's shy that might be the worst lie i've ever heard my wife doesn't want me showing off my abs to everybody yes yeah um what so i was reading an article gq did a uh article about your workout plan i want to ask about your workout plan but i also how many guys how many guys in hollywood are on steroids actors wow uh here's the thing that i i'm i i like marvel movies as much as the next guy. Um, which means I'm ambivalent.
Um, but I want to be in one just so I can, I can meet their doctor feel good. Like I want, I want an excuse to have, you know, Elvis's bag man.
Yes. Come in and, and hook me up.
Yes. Banana boat.
Yes. Um, cause my man, Kamale,

um,

cause my man,

Kamale, have you know elvis's bag man yes come in and and hook me up yes banana boat yes um because my man kamail nijani you know he's ripped i he was he was in the grinder with me he's one my favorite people and maybe one of the funniest people on the planet and i see him in eternals i'm like whatever's going on i want some of. Just some hard work.
And by the way, I would do it in a heartbeat. How about that? Yeah.
So this is you officially lobbying for a gig in a Marvel movie right now. Yes, and HGH.
I think I should have one. What role would you play? I don't know.
See, I just don't know enough about the universe to know but i that if if i don't end up with some sort of throw down there uh you know i think it's a missed opportunity i mean you know look those guys are all in their 30s yeah you know i'm i'm i'm i'm pushing 60 i think you want to see that jacked 60 you're like what the fuck you're like what like let's go yeah big cat was talking about about your diet plan which i think that that's there's definitely an aspect of dieting that goes into you know getting that cut up and having the six pack that's like the final step you can get in good shape but if you really want a to six pack, it's, it's the for unfortunately, it's the first step. It's like, abs are made in the kitchen.
And, you know, I eat the Atkins way all the time. So it's, you know, it's like high, high protein, extremely low carbs, low sugar, and that keeps me within 80% of being at my 100%.
And so if I ever have to throw down, I got my three weeks and I can ramp it up. But I'm pretty disciplined about that.
I like that. Always staying like right on the precipice of being in your best shape.
Yeah, you can't stay in your best shape. Nobody can.
True. Because then it's not your best shape anymore.
Yeah, true, true. Yeah, exactly.
And, like, I would, God, I would love to, I tried to get Pratt to tell me what was going on. I was like, Pratt, how did you turn from Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation to the Star-Lord? Come on, man.
Hook a brother up. Yeah.
He was like, I took a lot of walks. I like, I took a lot of walks.
I drink more water. That's the other thing people always say is like, I drink more water now.
Yeah. Which is true.
And I do do that. I have a big bottle.
It's a big blue bottle with time on it, like 11 AM, 9 AM. And then Afra is like, you can do it.
Keep on drinking. And it's called the baby.
And on my TV show on 911 Lone Star, you'll hear that Rob needs his baby. Bring in the baby.
Has anybody seen The Baby? It's like got its own thing. My big bottle of water.
It's great. I also read that you just sleep a lot, and that's your secret.
I wish I could do that. Yeah, see, it's tough.
I would like to sleep a lot, but then you lay down and you realize how boring it is to fall asleep. So you put on a podcast or you listen to, I don't know, you watch a YouTube video or something, but it's tough to fall asleep.
How many hours a night do you sleep? I sleep and it's embarrassing. It used to be I'll sleep when I'm dead and it was a badge of honor.
It was like, I don't need five hours of sleep but I'm up in the morning and I'm looking at the stock prices and that was like, oh, that person's a stud. But now what we're learning is it actually is better for you to get more sleep and you know look at tom tom brady will tell you that and i've always been a big advocate for more sleep so left to my own devices i'm i'm a i'm a nine hour guy sort of that's sort of it and that's the minimum anything less than nine nine hours and I feel like I haven't had enough sleep.
See, but it's a cheat code living in California because the games are over. The games are over at 9 o'clock, so you can go to sleep.
That, when I come to the East Coast and there's West Coast sports on? Yeah. You're screwed.
Screwed. You're super, super screwed.
And, you know, but then the same, you've got to get up early, though, to start seeing if you want pregame of the early games for football. Yeah.
And I always love being on the East Coast for that. It's like you've eaten, you're up, maybe you've worked out, you're getting ready to chill, and those first games are starting.
You just can't believe it. Yeah.
In California, you've got to start your whole day around it yeah um all right so i had one last question uh everyone go check out literally with rob low uh we wherever you want to get podcasts he also has a new podcast parks and recollection uh recollection is a parks and recreation recap podcast uh so my last question for you um we talked about football we talked about podcasting Rob Lowe will you be in another lifetime movie anytime soon? I've told you before that I think your greatest acting job was Drew Peterson, Untouchable is there maybe a reprisal of the role or is role or is there another lifetime movie that where you can be yourself and you can really dig into a piece kent please promise me this yes i well thank you i love i love that you love drew peterson because i loved doing that part i it's one of my favorites It's one of my favorite things I've ever done.

Because when they asked me to do it, I think I told you this, I said yes, because I had no idea how I would do it. I don't look like him.
There's nothing about me that's remotely written. It would be as far on my range as an actor that I could possibly imagine.
But then I did Behind the candelabra which was even farther than that but i love when i get to do those big swings and what's nice about lifetime is sometimes they they're sometimes the only people that will let me do that um so i'm out i'm out there actively searching for my my next prosthetically based here's two things marvel Marvel human growth hormone project and prosthetic based lifetime project.

How about that?

Love it.

I like that a lot.

Yeah.

I love it.

Let's make it happen.

Yes.

Let's do it for sure.

Rob, it's always a pleasure.

And thank you always that was great appreciate you guys I'll see you in New York next time I'm there we'll do it on your home turf done sounds good thanks guys thanks Rob Rob Lowe is brought to you by our great friends over at Roback Roback Activewear is the official but unofficial apparel of the Coach K Farewell Tour.
The guys over at Roback have been sending us their performance polos, hoodies, and Q-zips for a while now. And to be honest, when it comes to quality, Roback just blows it out of the park every single time.
I put on one of their zip-ups yesterday. Amazing, amazing quarter zip, even more comfortable hoodies.
First, Roback's new performance hoodies are a total game changer. Maybe the safest, softest, stretchiest hoodies in the game built for alphas like Jake.
We literally wear them all the time when Jake lets us. The best part about wearing a Roback hoodie is when you see somebody else wearing one, you give them that subtle nod because you know that they get it.
The performance Q-zips that I was talking about, they bring a new meaning to the word comfortable. They're the definition of versatile and perfect for the office.
And finally, Roback's performance polos are the only polos we wear here at Part of My Take. You can't find a better looking, better feeling performance polo.
Perfect for the golf course. Perfect for going out.
Their prints are fire, just quality all around. I've got one that's got dinosaurs on it.
Really sick polo shirt. In all honesty, Roback has been gaining

traction big time. They just

recently dropped new USA themed gear

perfect for heroes like

Billy. So use the promo code TAKE

Okay.

Let's wrap up.

We've got fire fest of the week to send you off on the weekend.

My fire fest is that pit didn't cover,

but that did actually,

but it happened.

They covered.

I have another fire fest,

but if I lost my game of the year, that would be my Fyre Fest. It would be very embarrassing.
But go ahead. Hank.
My Fyre Fest is we are finally taped. Like we're going to film the music video for the song we did during Grit Week, Benny the Butcher.
There was a lot of hold up because originally he was going to come here, do an interview, and then we're going to put the song out. But he hasn't come here yet, and we decided to finally just go forward with the music video as such.
So it'll probably be coming out in the next few weeks. But trying to figure out logistics and stuff with you guys has been somewhat difficult.
I've been getting a lot of dirty looks, bad responses. I told Lil Sass that he had to be here at 8 a.m.
I thought he was going to cry legitimately. He was like, what? 8 a.m.
is not... That time does not exist on my clock.
And then I said that to PFT, and he was like, what, really? Like, we actually have to do this at 8 a.m.? And I just feel like the bad guy, and I don't like feeling like the bad guy. Who's the bad guy? Not me, but I feel like it's me.
Did you schedule it? No, we booked the thing for the full day. Big Cat was like, I want to be done early, so in order to be done early, we've got to start recording early.
It's fine. It's passing the buck there.
No, that's a fact. I thought it would be probably a disaster because we have to go deep into New Jersey if we were trying to come back from New Jersey back into New York on a Friday afternoon at like 4 o'clock.
I don't know how traffic works. Is traffic going into New York bad? I think no matter what, on a Friday afternoon,

traffic sucks anywhere around New York.

You know what? I promise I will not complain.

Just give me until the end of the day to continue

to complain to Hank. That's all I need.

I just need to vent for a little bit because

8 a.m. on a Friday is pretty early for me.

So yes, I did call Hank a dirty

son of a bitch and an asshole

and a fucker.

And I told Big Head to wear a suit.

He said I don't have one.

Wait, we have to.

That can't be true.

Dude, I'm fat.

I've gotten.

I haven't gone.

We have a job where we wear sweatpants half the time.

I don't wear nice clothes.

I don't own nice clothes.

I also started to complain to Hank and he was like, why are you so mad that you have to be up at eight?

And I was like, well, I have band practice tonight.

And then I realized, wait, I'm complaining about the fact that I get to have a band practice and then wake up and go to a cool job and do a music video shoot. It gave me some perspective.
For a great song that we've been holding out on the people for too long. I'm very excited to go.
I have a complaint. The only thing I said was I might not have a suit.
I think I do, but you have to understand I'm out of the range of going to weddings. I have a job that's a joke.
I don't dress up for anything. I have suit coats for a gambling show, and that's it.
Does it have to be a normal suit? You don't have to wear a suit. What? You're a bank teller.
Fuck. It's just a little Easter egg for the people.
Who do I have to wear? I'm not going to say. I think you're our...

I think I'm your manager.

Our costumes are there.

The suits are not there.

I've been like, big guy, we can get you a suit.

Don't worry about it.

He's like, I'll do it.

I'll do it.

I'm very concerned that he's going to show up.

I'm like, I forgot it.

So I've been trying to...

Fine, get me a suit.

Okay, thank you.

That makes it easier for me.

I don't know my measurements.

The song's fire, by the way.

It's okay if it's a tight suit.

That'd be funny.

Or a really big suit.

I'm going to bring one of your suit coats And get you a shirt and tie Okay Sass doesn't have a suit either Done Obviously Sass needs to wear the big ass jacket Sass and I are on two different ends Of the suit life Like he's just entering suit life Because he'll start having to go to weddings and stuff I've've graduated from suit life. All right, PFT, your fire fest.
My fire fest is I like Duke basketball. Hell yeah.
Hell yeah. You don't.
This is you're doing this. No, no.
You're doing a troll. I'm not.
I'm saying my fire fest is I like this team. This team is fun.
You don't. This team is fun to watch and fun to root for.
You've watched one game. And they're fun.
No. They are.
Pinquet, you have to admit that they're fun. This is like when you're trying to become a LeBron fan.
No. Remember that? That lasted long.
I couldn't bring myself to do that. Alright, so they can't say anything mean about Duke.
I'm a fan of the players. For the rest of the podcast listeners, the AWLs that expect consistency from this podcast, I will carry the torch.
I will not let you down. I like their players.
In fact, I think that their players are so good that Coach K would be on the hot seat if he didn't win a title with these players. He's coaching for his job.
He is coaching for his job. His hypothetical job.
We need to update that as the year goes goes on because if coach k does not win a title with this extremely talented team this would go down as the worst job coaching that he ever did in his entire life that's a fact that's all i'm saying that's how much i like these players so you're saying they're they have to win the title for it to be a good season i think they have to win the title this year for us to honestly look back at K's career and say that he was a good coach. Yeah, I would agree with that.
Because if you're that much better than everybody, it's like if you took the Lakers and tried to win a state of New York high school championship with a team and you didn't do that, you'd probably have to be the biggest idiot of a coach of all time, right? Yes, yes. That's how good I think that this Duke team is.
Between Kiehl's, you've got Paolo, how do you say his last name? Bacero? Bancero. Paolo Bancero.
Wendell Moore looks good. The whole team looks awesome.
Why didn't Coach K call on you for a question, Jake? That was my Firefest. Oh, shit.
I'm sorry. We'll get to it.
So, yeah, my Fire Fest is like I never thought that I would like Duke basketball, but they've gone and done it somehow. I just really hope Coach K doesn't screw it up.
Yeah. You hearing that, Hank? You better win it all.
We will. You better win it all.
All right. My Fyre Fest is I had another whoa, fucking old moment.
I had my first ever parent-teacher conference as a parent, so that was fucked. How'd it go? I mean, my son's two and a half, so they were like, yeah, he likes everything.
How's his coloring? He likes dancing and playing, and he poops his pants. So, yeah.
Chip off the old block, baby. That's good.
Yeah. But, yeah, it was definitely a weird moment to be like, oh, fuck.
I'm on the other side of this thing. Billy.
I just got flashbacks from parent-teacher conferences. Oh, also, we should have just said, I don't know why we haven't just, like, thank you for your service.
Yeah, no, that's my fire fest. So I was coming to work today.
Yeah, it's really funny, guys. You're also going viral right now.
I know. For taking a piss.
Yeah. Hey, stand up for his fire.
Stop. Stop.
Jesus. Okay, so I was going to work today, and some dude on the street, AWL, says, thank you for your service to me.
And then everyone on the train thought that I was like, actually. So this joke has gone way too far.
Did a woman get up and offer you her seat? No, it's gone way too far. I feel so shitty when everyone asks me, thank you for your service.
I'm just like, fuck, like, here I am getting all these thanks when actual veterans should be getting thanks. Well, no, you are a veteran of many things.
Yeah. No.
The Atomic Challenge. Yes, but no, but like, not cool.
You actually, you lead the fight to fight for veterans' appreciation. I will never wear camo again.
I used to wear camo like people wear. How are we going to be able to tell? You know how people wear like your team's favorite jersey? It's's like show support.
No one wears a Washington football team.

That's what I was doing with camo to show support.

Camo to show support for the troops.

Yeah.

That got blown.

You're putting on their uniform.

Yeah.

And referring to yourselves as like we, how some people talk about their favorite teams.

What's your dozen's team name?

I think they're the, what are they, the troops?

Oh.

Yeah.

And it's you and Chaps and Cade who are Marines and you're also a Marine? I'm not a Marine. Happy birthday, by the way.
It's funny. But yeah, so...
You're all devil dog, you. Yeah.
Semper Fi, Billy. Yeah, so...
Do or die. Mm-hmm.
Tip of the spear. No, but it was really awkward because there was an actual group of veterans going to some parade on the train to the shores of Tripoli.
So tripoli so when someone said thank you for your service and they looked over i mean i was just like and they both they all knew at that moment that they saw a war hero no they were like who the fuck is this guy the funny thing is that billy has a thousand yard stare but has never been in combat yeah that's just your mental state jose oh mode. Yeah, war mode.
You have been in war.

Seen some shit.

Yeah, you have. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like Jose crumpling to the ground and holding his shoulder.

I'm more scarred by training.

Training was really crazy.

Yeah, that's true.

Basic training.

Basically war mode.

All right, Jake, your fire fest.

Yeah, I had a great night at the Champions Classic covering it.

First time watching live basketball since COVID.

Had my hand raised for the Coach K press conference.

Didn't get called on.

Thank you. a great night at the Champions Classic covering it.
First time watching live basketball since COVID. Had my hand raised for the Coach K press conference.
Didn't get called on. What were you going to ask him? I was going to ask him about how special it is to play at Madison Square Garden.
That's a good question. He was 34-11 there.
Fuck, we didn't get to hear his answer? Nope. What do you think his answer would have been? Probably something cliche.
It would have been, can you speak up? Talk, enunciate. They got wanted me to ask about the championship game from six years ago.
I offered you money to say, do you think that they... Offer me money.
Did I not? You just said it would be good for the podcast. Oh, well, I meant to offer you money as well.
Would you have done it for money? You offered him shame. So I should have...
How much money would you have done it for? A million dollars?

A million, yes.

A million, yes.

Okay, I don't have that, but I – cash.

You did get to talk to Coach Calipari. I did get to talk to Coach Calipari.

Last question, too.

Who admonished you?

Yeah.

You got admonished.

Who scolded you?

No.

Oh, yeah.

There was a little admonishment.

Well, I said it's potentially your last game to leave the door open for a tournament meeting.

So he's like, yeah.

Or he's like, no, no.

We want to play them one more time.

I'm like, that's why I said potential.

Oh, okay.

So you said potentially.

I said potentially.

He didn't hear that part.

Got it.

Maybe not.

So you were admonished for not speaking up.

I don't know.

We got a good story about him and the coaches rallying together and buying him bourbon.

Coach K?

Yes. Nice.
Yeah. Okay.
That was fun. Check out our vlog, Barstool Bench Mom on YouTube.
Love it. Love it.
Whiskey? I don't know. Alright.
Good Firefest and also good job, Jake. It was great to see you out there.
We need to get you to more sporting events credentialed. Yeah.
I would love to. Yes.
Jake on the street. Or calling games.
Or calling games. One other thing.

I can't believe that we didn't talk about this on Wednesday,

but friend of the program,

did you see Dan Bilzerian got into some trouble?

Oh, no.

So he got his watch stolen from him at the Canelo fight.

I was going to put him on my hot seat, but I don't want to get sued.

This is the funniest thing ever.

Dan Bilzerian was like,

yeah, somebody stole my million-dollar watch at this fight,

so I'm going to put up a $50,000 reward

to anyone who can come forward with it.

I'm going to put up a $50,000 reward to anyone who can come forward with it. Great job by Dan to be like either one, you get to flex on everybody and say, I had a million dollar watch, which is, in my opinion, not real.
But he gets to get his name in the press being like, wow, Dan Bilzerian can afford a million-dollar watch. Or worst-case scenario, somebody sells you a million-dollar watch for $50,000 if they come forward with it.
Dan Bilzerian, king of intellect, 100 IQ, amazing guy. Great job, Dan.
Billy? No, I'm saying Dan Bilzerian, you and him served together, right? We probably went through the exact same amount of SEALs training.

All right.

All right, Billy, wrap us up.

Scooby-Doo is a great day.

Okay.

Number's 97.
