It's part of my take presented by Marshall Sports. Welcome to part of my take presented by Black Rifle Coffee.
Go to blackriflecoffee.com slash take right now. Today is Friday, October 15th.
And PFT, I think this podcast just got a whole hell of a lot hotter. Yeah, Billy's here.
Yeah, Billy's here. But we also have a very special guest, something we've never done before.
Julian Edelman, our good friend, watched Thursday Night Football with us, just hung out, guys being dudes. And we said, you know what? Let's not do a traditional interview.
Let's have him on for the post-game recap. So here he is.
Jules. What's up, guys? I love it.
You're electric. What's going on? Yeah.
So if you missed, Jules is on Inside the NFL now. Streaming on Paramount+.
How far inside the NFL do you get? Knuckles deep? Wrist? You go B. B deep.
Yeah. B deep.
B deep. I like it.
So I had it. B deep.
If you missed it, Jules. The show's the pros watch.
The show's the pros watch, and he gives insight that you can't get anywhere else. Anywhere.
Such as before the Bucs played the Patriots, he said that both Bill Belichick and Tom Brady wanted to win that game, which I didn't realize until he said it. Well, it's true, isn't it? It was true, is it not? That's the insight that you get if you've played the game.
Yeah. Hey, Jules, real quick question before we start talking about the game tonight.
Brady versus the Patriots, who were you rooting for? I was rooting for the Pats. Yeah? Did that maybe make Tom Brady a little...
Yeah, I mean, my guy gets a little sensitive sometimes. But that's fair because he's your best friend.
He's my best friend. Would he say that you're his best friend? I don't think he probably wouldn't anymore.
He definitely wouldn't anymore. You never played for the Bucs.
So to me, that makes sense that you wouldn't..., like your legions don't transfer just because Tom's there, right? Definitely can't. I mean, why would I ever root? You're probably also just secretly jealous that you're not on the Bucs right now.
Yeah. Absolutely not.
I'm enjoying my time. So if the Bucs, I think it's fair to say that you root for the Patriots over everything and then the Bucs number two.
If the Bucs aren't playing the Patriots, you're rooting for the Bucs. I'm rooting for the Niners number two.
Niners number two? Wow. Big Niners guy.
Okay, Trey Lance. A little more.
Jimmy G. I like the Niners.
Okay, there we go. I like Shanahan.
I love Shanahan. I think he's a good coach.
I like the defense. Yes.
I like Kittle, even though he's hurt right now. But I'm just a Niners fan.
I grew up loving the 49ers. Yeah.
That's fair. We got off to a little start ball busting here.
So I'd like to actually compliment you on something, on your bravery. You took a stand.
You retired this offseason because there was going to be a vaccine mandate, and you think that every player is entitled to their own choice. I thought that was – it's rare to see an athlete stand up for what they believe in, put their money where their mouth is.
So, you know, like we see that and we appreciate it. Yeah.
You know, someone's always got to walk for other people to run. Yeah, you walk so Kyrie Irving could run.
I'm vaxxed, though. Double vaxxed.
Double vaxxed.

Double vaxxed.

All right, so watching this game, it is fun to watch the game with you

because you obviously know Tom Brady so well.

And, you know, they're running your offense, right?

They're running basically – when you watch the game,

because that's the story is that Tom Brady's basically running the offense

and Bruce Arians, like his no risk it, no biscuit is a way of the pass.

So when you're watching the Bucs, are you like, yeah,

I know exactly what they're doing and what they're trying to do?

I'm sorry. and Bruce Arians, like his no risk it, no biscuit is a way of the past.
So when you're watching the Bucs, are you like, yeah, I know exactly what they're doing and what they're trying to do? I mean, a lot of the time I can see what they're trying to get into just because if you're in a meeting with a guy that calls plays and the quarterback, they usually are going to do what the quarterback likes to do. Right.
And, you know, you could see early on when Tom was in Tampa, they were kind of doing a lot of different things that, you know, Bruce Arians is used to doing. And then now if you watch it, I mean, we set up the run, then we hit the play action, let's hit seams if they're in single high, you know, let's hit a stopper route because we got receivers on the outside that are going to be able to, you know, marry those routes up.
So, I mean, it's a lot of stuff that we did. They get into empty a bunch, formation indicators with the running back.
I mean, it's a lot. It's copycat league.
Yeah. Copycat league.
You were calling out some of the routes that the receivers were running. You were saying like indigo or some other like keywords that you guys used.
Do they still use those same words? I don't know. That's one thing I don't know.
Maybe. Yeah.
I don't know what system or scheme or if. Because there's a number system, which is the West Coast, and that's where Arians is from, I think.
And then I should know that. I think, I don't actually.
Where's he from? He came from Alabama, Bear Bryant. But then he was in Steelers.
He called places for the Steelers for a few years. He's actually not a West Coast guy.
I need to take that back. Okay, stricken from the record.
Temple, Kansas City Chiefs. He's literally been everywhere.
Was he in Reed there? No, it wasn't. It was way, way long ago.
Way, way, way long ago. Who was the head coach? Was it Marty? Yeah, it was.
He was with the Colts. He was with the Browns.
He was with the Steelers. So he's probably got a bunch of stuff.
I don't know what he's running, but he probably has words that they incorporate that are probably similar.

Yeah, I mean, they're running.

Tom Brady is basically running whatever he wants at this point, I would imagine.

I mean, the guy's been in the league for 22 years.

Yeah, it's crazy.

I mean, he's older than the offensive coordinator.

Yeah, it's crazy.

And he's beat him every time he's played him, I think.

The stuff like Antonio Brown adds to the offense is just crazy.

When he's not falling down, he slips a lot.

I've noticed that about him.

He needs to change his cleats or do something different with that. But he looks like he looked five years ago.
Does he, like to you, to your eyes, has he slowed down at all? He looks electric. I mean, he stays in shape.
I was around him for two weeks and got to know him a little bit. And he eats, breathes, and lives football and taking care of his body.
And he's a freak. So he's still performing at a very, very high level.
Now, did Tom ever invite you to live with him? No, he didn't. That's got to sting a little bit.
It hurts. That really does hurt.
That does hurt. The Cato Kaelin of Tom Brady's house.
Yeah, that does hurt. Speaking of hurt, we've got to at least mention the end of this game was an all-time spread and total debacle with Cameron Brate falling an inch behind the line, third down.
This was also your your welcome to gambling because i i mean i knew this was fucked like in the in like the second the third quarter i was like this game's probably fucked because of how the game was flowing but that was that's how that's what we have to deal with so you now are in our lives you're in the content like i don't have any you know i don't i'm not actual money. This is more for pride of trying to win.

On inside the NFL.

On inside the NFL.

But so you're in our life now of you watch football all day on Sunday.

Is it harder than playing the actual games?

I think it is.

Yes, thank you.

I think it's harder because you have to remember people's names.

You get soar on the couch.

There's so many games going on at once.

Yeah, you get like almost CTE kind of Yes Just from like your eyeballs going here or there To the floor where your TV is Especially this setup Six TVs, you've never seen six TVs In the same room Well usually they're like on the floor And one on the wall And the kitchen You know, We have a plethora of areas that have TVs. You got a bathroom TV? No, we don't.
But that's what I bring in if you watched my episode of Cribs. Which was hilarious if you got to go watch it.
The six inch. You bring it.
There you go. When you have the ticket, you can just bring it anywhere.
That's true. That is true.
So how have have you enjoyed though like content life like actually obviously playing the nfl is harder than blogging but watching football for 12 hours on sunday is exhausting wouldn't you say it is you know it's mentally draining and then coming up with takes and coming up with you know your well that You just have to listen to our podcast. That's how you come up with your take.
I come up with my take. I listen to Billy football.
He's the smartest guy up there. No, he gives you gold.
He does. By the way, Billy, so when Jules came, he came right before kickoff, and he told Billy that Fireman Ed had been traded to the Patriots, and Billy believed him.
And it was a tough moment for our boy Billy because it was a tough moment. Billy came up to me.
D-A-T-S, Pats, Pats, Pats. Billy came up to me.
He's like, it was kind of awkward with Jules. I was like, why? What happened? He's like, well, he told me Fireman Ed got traded, and I believed him.
So, Billy, are you okay? Have you recovered? I didn't really believe him. I just didn't really want to stop him and correct him.
Yeah. Oh, you were being nice.
It was a bit. He was doing a bit on you, Jules.
He was trying to bit on me and I was just sort of Are you calling me a bitty? We're all bitties. I want to talk about Jalen Hurts real quick.
The other quarterback tonight. About halfway through the game, I realized that when he drifts in the pocket, when he panics and starts to scramble, it's fine if you scramble, you keep your eyes downfield, you're able to actually extend the play.
He drifts in the most unproductive angles. He runs backwards into the sideline and tries to throw the ball away.
But he's had a couple games where he's played well.

I'm not buying Jalen Hurts.

If he's a stock, I think I'm selling all my stock that I have in Jalen Hurts.

Yeah, I think I'm sticking with what I said on Monday is that he's Mr. Right now, not Mr.
Right.

What did I get it on the price at?

I would give you, well, see now if he's a backup, if he's going to move to be a backup, then his stock goes back up.

But let's just call it 50 cents right now. So what did I get in at? So you got in at 75 cents.
So I'm down a little. You're down.
You've lost money. Do you cut ties at this point? Nah, I'm a hold.
I'm a hold. I'm going to hold my stock and I'm still going to see if they can get some things cooking.
I didn't particularly love the play calling that was going on. And they were having protection problems they were you know Shaq Barrett he was running them down and and when you run and guys are just as fast as you you're not going to be able to slow up to turn your shoulders to get you in the right position to make throws and we saw that with his throwing it just there was no rhythm to this offense today that is a good point because I think all of our brains have been corrupted by watching college football and then playing video games where we think you can just sprint at a full sprint and then just throw the ball.
It's tough. It's tough.
And, I mean, that defensive front for Tampa Bay is pretty electric, and they were struggling trying to block them. And we saw that.
And like PFT said, I mean, if you're going to scramble, at least try to scramble with your eyes downfield. And it didn't really look like he was doing that as much because the pressure was on him so often.
Yeah. Is there any play that is more demoralizing or will slow down an offense faster than if you throw two wide receiver screens in a row and they both go for one yard or negative one yards? To me, that's what the Eagles playbook looked like tonight.
It was like, we're either going to do an inside handoff, which they had some success in later on in the game, or we're going to try to just hammer this wide receiver screen thing. Yeah, they tried a lot with that wide receiver screen, but the defense of the Bucs, those guys sideline to sideline can run at all positions.
It was a tough one for them. That was a tough game.
That's defending Super Bowl champions. So Philly was probably saying going into this, this is going to be a measuring stick game.
They held their own. They beat me.
They covered. Yeah, that's true.
They technically may have won in a lot of hearts. That is true.
Good teams win. Great teams cover.
That's a saying for a reason. I have a question about the Bucs.
So the Bucs secondary is banged up. When you were playing, if you're playing a banged up secondary and the Eagles weren't able to expose it at all, are you just like, what the hell happened? Do you go into a game when you know there's a bunch of injuries on the other side, like we should have a field day against these guys? I never overlooked my opponent opponent even if we were playing banged up guys because i was superstitious like that but in theory yeah you you should probably do better right but that that's if you can you know get get things protected and tampa bay was was all over jalen hurts i mean we were we were sitting watching, like this guy's scrambling to his right every play.
Yes. Every play.
Every single play. And then, you know, the defensive backs that they did have, I mean, those guys were wired a lot of the times down there.
Yeah. Yeah, no, they were.
I mean, there was a point in time when it felt like the Eagles receivers were playing more defense than the Bucs defenders because they were a lot of the throws were kind of off or the defenders were right in good positions. So, I mean, it was tough for the Eagles.
I still, I'm actually surprised that they made it a six-point game because it felt like it should have been a lot more. It did feel like an ass-kicking even when they were covering the spread.
Right. It was like, this game has felt like a blowout.
It never felt like the Eagles weren't because they never really got any points when they needed points in the game. They all came when they were down pretty bad.
And shout out Nick Sirianni for understanding math for going for two down 14 late. Yeah, he took the pin out of his hat.
So if I had known that the pin was out of his hat, I would have put more money on the Eagles. A tell.
Yeah, the pen's gone. He's taking the training wheels off.
Yep. And the numbers on the hat, too.
The numbers on that. So he had the numbers of the players that were out.
One was Lane Johnson, 65, and there were two other guys that were out. Like in memoriam.
For the season. It's very weird.
It's like they died. Yeah.
So I don't know. Nick Sirianni, you know what he does? He always is in a constant state of trying to be the opposite of Ben Simmons and really ingratiate himself to the city of Philadelphia.
He's like, well, if they like me a lot, then I won't get fired. But a big key in that is also winning football games.
Yeah, when they played Dallas, he was wearing a Beat Dallas shirt. And tonight he was wearing a Dr.
J jersey before the game. Oh, jeez.
Yeah, I think that's Philly's smart enough to know, like, there's... Listen, you could maybe wear a Beat Dallas shirt on the first day, and that will get you some, like, juice.
But, like, I'm telling you right now, Big Ant is not going to be on the call tomorrow being like, yeah, well, he wore a Dr. J jersey.
It's okay. The Eagles are, what, two and four? You know what he's going to say? He's going to be like, he doesn't deserve to wear the Dr.
J jersey before the game. You need to win first before you can do that.
The defense did pretty well, though. Yeah, the Eagles defense.
The Eagles defense did pretty well. They were getting pressure on Tom a little bit, and they had some key stops that just didn't capitalize on him.
I hope that I'm not asking you to be a traitor here by divulging you this information, but how do you beat Tom Brady? I know the answer. Big Cat knows the answer.
You got to get him off the spot. Well, in a way, yeah.
You got to get him off the spot. Keep going.
Keep going. How do you get him off the spot? Pressure up the middle.
Four. With how many linemen? I like to P-drop.
If you could P-drop and put max coverage and then disguise very well, which is hard to disguise against Tom because he's seen all the disguises, but if you can somehow mess with his formation indicators like Indianapolis did to us like six years ago or four years ago where they would have a man indicator, but then it wouldn't be man drop into like a cover six or something those are the things that like you don't prepare for okay and so big cat has it has a way to do it too you got pressure with four if you get pressure with four got to get home yeah you got him up you heat him up with four then you put max coverage yeah you heat him up with four and then you put it lights out then've got to double a good player. Yeah, of course.
I would just say, well, you've got to bracket Gronk. You've got to bracket Randy Moss.
You've got to bracket Wes Welker. Cover five.
Cover five. It was just the best.
Cover five is two men, so you're taking away the seams. This is really, though, how the media would talk.
They'd be like, Tom Brady lost two Super Bowls and he's won seven. Or he lost three.
But what's the recipe? You've got to get home with four. It's like, well, yeah, if every team could do that, that would be great.
Yeah, if every team has Michael Strahan, Ossie Minura, that helps. Yeah, that would be sick if we could get pressure with four.
Do you have any communication with Bill Belichick since you retired? I feel like he's the type of guy who warms up to you immediately when you're no longer his responsibility. No, well, you know, I did have a couple things on the show inside the NFL where I was kind of mocking them.
Oh, you did a voice? Yeah, I did a voice, a couple impressions. Yep.
And so when I went back, I went back there for a game. I saw him, and I'm like, hey, coach.
And I didn't know how to react because he said something in the media. Greg Hill called him out and was like, hey, you hear about Edelman impersonating you? And he goes, yeah.
He gave one of his snurbs. Yeah.
And so, like, I'm kind of sweating. I'm on the sideline before the game and coach comes up.
I'm like, hey, coach. You know, I'm just kind of like messing around.
He's like, oh, yeah, you're all right. I'm like, oh, we're good.
We're going. That means, you know, I got to see where the line's at.
I got to see where the line's at. And I guess I haven't hit that line yet.
Yeah. But no, it was so crazy.
So I retired this offseason and I haven't seen him. And I end up going to some little shindig

and he was there.

And

like it's been publicized

that I was doing

Inside the NFL

for like five months.

And so he looks at me

and he goes,

hey, so like

what are you up to now?

I'm like,

I'm doing Inside the NFL.

And he looks at me and he goes, oh, you're doing media?

And I go, yeah, you know, it's going to be kind of fun.

I didn't know what I could say to him.

He's scary.

He's intimidating.

And so he goes, now look, like, you can't be a homer.

That's great. He's like feeling you out yeah he's like are you gonna keep your mouth shut then he goes he goes like if you have to motherfuck us you can motherfuck us oh that's awesome like yeah but it felt like like a mafia yeah yeah you were like that's but it was cool yeah like i actually would have when you start telling that story i would have thought that belichick would be like, hey, don't say anything about it.
But that's, that's perfectly Belichick to be like, no, you have to, you have to be truthful and honest because that's the only way we'll get better. Exactly.
He's telling you to do your job. Yeah.
He was telling me to do your job. That's so perfect.
Yeah. But it was like, it was fresh out of a movie.
Like I was at a Bronx tale and Italian restaurant, and I see the old mob box. Yeah.
That's fucking fantastic. It'd just be a real shame if somebody were to say anything about the time that they spend here.
It'd be a shame. Yeah.
Have a good night, Julie. Yeah.
If he starts reading your parents' address to you. Is your dad still at this place? No, he's still a good...
I mean, he's actually you know he's a personable guy when you get him in the right environment. Yeah.
Are you going to... My last question, then we'll get to Billy's couple questions here and then we'll get to our weekend preview.
So are you going to read the Seth Wickersham book? No. What is, what? It's better to be feared.
Yeah. Better to be feared.
You lived it, so you don't really need to read it. Yeah.
No. Not a book, guys.
Now that's a Belichick answer. Yeah, exactly.
That's Belichick still having his grips on Jules. If he had told you, like, when you met him on the field, if he had been, like, he had been a little bit upset about the impressions or whatever, and he'd been like, take a lap, Jules.
Do you think instinctively you would have started jogging? Yes. Immediately.
How many, Coach? Yes, I got you. I do have one last actual football question.
The new quarterback, Mac Jones, what's your read on him? What's your read on old Mackie? I think he's doing well. McCorkle.
I think he's doing well. I mean, they're not doing great.
I mean, their red area offense needs some help, and then they need to create some more explosion plays, but as far as seeing a kid come in and retain the offense and see what plays they're running and see his quarterback clock and his clicking ability from certain reads, it's been pretty impressive. And guys that I've talked to that are still there are impressed with him and how he's been able to digest the playbook and the offensive scheme.
So, you know, it's exciting for him. And I think he just needs to – he's got that kind of, like, even-keeled, like, cool-collect kind of attitude if you see him, you know what I mean? And if he continues that, you know, I think the big plays will come, and he'll learn how to play, and there's games within games that once you get the offense down,

you can start doing those things.

And if he continues to improve and believe in the system,

I think he's going to be a pretty good quarterback.

It's really hard to have patience with rookie quarterbacks,

but you have to constantly remind yourself. Yeah, like he hasn't made real bad football plays.

He's made a couple like doy-doy plays.

Yeah.

I like that.

I know which doy-doy play you're talking about.

Yeah, the one where he threw it backwards.

Yes, yes.

But like he hasn't.

Doy-doy plays.

That's better than head scratchers.

A doy-doy play is a great play.

But like we watch these other quarterbacks.

Oh, yeah. Zach Wilson's got some doy-doy plays.
A lot of doy-doys. But also, I don't think the play calling has been as great.
I agree with you. You know what I mean? I think you can actually go down the list of, like, Justin Fields has had a couple doy-doy plays, and the offense hasn't fully stretched it yet for him.
But also,

what I'm most impressed about with Mack is his ability

to sidestep a guy in

the pocket, step up,

keep his eyes downfield, like we were

talking about earlier today,

and be able to deliver a ball that

was his 4-3 that he went

from his first to his fourth because

he saw it somehow.

Those are things that you don't see very often from younger quarterbacks. like his fourth read that he went from his first to like his fourth because he saw it somehow.
Yeah.

Like those are things that you don't see very often from younger quarterbacks that calm,

cool collect in his pocket awareness.

He's not mobile by any means, but like his ability to move in the pocket, step up when,

you know, the guys are running the hump, the DNs are running the hump.

You step up in the pocket, but you don't get all flustered and stuff, you still stay in the read. Like, he's been doing that.
He has a lot to improve on, but he's got a good foundation going. I like that, the functional mobility that certain quarterbacks have.
So he's not going to set any rushing yardage records, but he can move in the pocket. It's like Tom.
Tom's the goat at that. That's what Tom's really insane at.
Having a sixth sense where, you know, they're going to get him, he steps up in the pocket, he slides to his right, then he finds his guy, and he doinks it out. Yeah.
Am I wrong, though, to think that a team like the Patriots is a big advantage for a quarterback that's going to give him help in training him to keep his eyes downfield? Because the way that I know that you guys coached up there and that you played is that if you're running the fourth option as a receiver, you're running that route like you're the primary guy. You don't take plays off at receivers, even if you don't think that the ball is going to come to you.
If the play is designed to go to one guy, everybody is doing that. And I think on teams that might not have the same amount of coaching or the same level of detail, you'll get guys that dog a couple routes here and there.
I definitely think his ecosystem was the best out of all the rookies that are entering the league this year. You know, just as far as, and I could be, I'm not biased, but that's all I really know because I was in that system.
But also just how the team is built, the money that they spent and and the defense that they have, and the coaches that they have. You know those guys are going to be there for a while.
You know what I mean? Yeah, stability there. It's a stability there.
Usually when you get a fresh quarterback, you're getting a fresh coach, a new play caller. You stink, yeah, right.
There's a lot of variables. Yeah.
All right, Billy. Doy-doy questions? Yeah, go with some doy-doy questions.
Steve Belichick. Yeah, right.
There's a lot of variables. Yeah.
All right, Billy. Doi-doi questions? Yeah, go with some doi-doi questions.
Steve Belichick. Yeah.
He's always seemingly messing with the media, but when we saw the tongue thing the other night, do you think, like, what do you think he's doing there? Do you think he's doing that on purpose, or do you think he just does that during the game? He just does that. It's probably like his twitch.
Yeah. He's a feisty guy.
You know, Stevie, he loves football. He's like a fiery guy.
He's the guy that, like, in practice that would come up and, like, talk shit to me. Like, oh, the defense got you on that play.
And, like, we would be talking shit to each other. Like, wouldn't even, like, look even like look at each other for a week and then like all of a sudden be boys again you know i mean like he that's just how he is he's he's fired up when belichick was at mac jones's pro day yeah the whole time he just looked disappointed and shaking his head and like totally threw a lot of people off of mac jones Do you think he did that on purpose so you could pick him up?

I don't know for a fact,

but I wouldn't be surprised.

So that,

that would be in his repertoire.

Dude.

He's,

he's fucking,

that's,

that's,

that's,

that's,

he's the ultimate Jedi mind tricks.

Wow.

It's that deep.

It's deeper than deep.

Wow.

It's deeper than any of us know.

Yeah.

You can't even explain how deep it is. It's Illuminati.
Yeah. Last question.
Do you think you can put up 135 more than I did last time we interviewed you? How many times did you put it up? I think I put it up 40 times. I don't know.
What? It just happens to be... Yeah, that's weird.
Oh, shit. Oh, it is 135 right here.
Did I make you do it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I know you've been working out.

You've got the trainer.

You're using Hank's same trainer for boxing, right?

Yeah.

Am I?

Yeah, probably.

What's her name?

What's your trainer's name?

My boy Don over in Brooklyn.

All right.

All right, good questions.

You want to try?

I don't know if I got it in me.

All right, well, you're going to come back.

You're going to come back. You're going to come back.

He basically lives next door now. Listen, do you have any best friends in the city? You got a crew? Well, it was going to be Billy.
He asked Billy where he lives in the city, and Billy was like Jersey, and Jules just took out his phone, and I saw him cross off Billy. Oh, but I can get here very fast.
Billy, you need to take Billy out one night just for I will. Just for us.
As long as he just does, you gotta, you gotta, whatever happens, you gotta stay in the circle of Billy. Yeah, Billy's the best liar of all time.
If you ask Billy a question three times, you'll get the truth. Any question.
Billy, would you do us like nothing? Billy, would you do us like nothing? Billy, would you do us like... Yeah, right, right.
That's exactly how it would go. But seriously, Jules and I went fucking raging.
I'm a father of one. I don't rage anymore.
I'm a dog dad. There you go.
You guys are basically the same. You know what? People are like, oh, do you have a dog? No, I have a kid.
I'm sorry. All right.
So Jules will be back, though, because now that we realize he lives not too far from the office, this was a lot of fun. And also, anytime you want to watch television on a real screen, you know the place to come.
This was a great time, though. We watched the whole game.
There was a little Wi-Fi outage in my area, so that's why. Oh, that's why he came up.
Got it. To update your fancy roster.
I cut my cable, and it kind of came back to bite me in the butt. I stream everything on Paramount+.
Every time there's a storm, Jules is like, hey, what are you guys doing tonight? How's your your fantasy team doing You said that you're Playing fantasy football For the first time I mean Mike Evans didn't do Anything tonight I was hoping Yeah Tell us more Who else do you have We really care Tell us more What's your worst beat So far this year I'm I'm not even good Yeah No But why Let us help you Why Why do you want to help me We We're experts. We love fantasy football.
I thought you don't care. No, we care.
No, it's just for Florida. We care about everybody else's team.
That's the thing. I actually really do love hearing people say it.
I had McCaffrey. He got banged up.
He's questionable this week, though. Who's your quarterback? P.
Holmes. Ah, P.
Holmes. I like that.
Let's start calling him P. Holmes.
Yeah, he hasn't been great. Huh? No, he hasn't been great.
Those picks have been hurting me. Yeah, they have.
Minus two? He'll get it together. He'll get it together.
Yeah. What's wrong with Patrick Mahomes? That's how you need to start making your takes.
Yes. Be like, I'm concerned about Patrick Mahomes.
This isn't a flip on the radar. Did we eat too much too fast? No.
Has the league figured out Patrick Mahomes? We're just giving you things to talk about inside the NFL. No, I'll tell you right now.
Yeah. Were we too fast to anoint him? The Chiefs are built differently this year.
They're a little banged up on defense. So the defense isn't playing very well at all.
And they have this stigma that every time they're going to go out the offense, they're going to do a video game play. They need to have a little more long methodical type drives.
Easy place. Sometimes you got to make the easy pass.
You know, and I understand where they're at. There's been now that we haven't ever done that, but yeah, maybe sometimes look at your receivers when you're throwing to them.
The little stuff. He'll get it.

I mean, what is he, 25?

Yeah, no, we actually are very much poking fun.

He's the best quarterback in the league, and we like to just do this

because it's a fun thing to have.

He's a stud.

This could make him stronger.

Yeah, there it is.

This could make him stronger.

Hot take.

Yeah, or this could be the beginning of the end.

No.

Yeah, it could be.

You never know.

What if he's never the same again?

See, it's tough because I've been on a 2-3 team that went out and won the Super Bowl. At the beginning of the end.
No. It could be.
You never know. What if he's never the same again?

See, it's tough because I've been on a two and three team that went out and won the Super Bowl.

Was that the Trent Dilfer year?

Yeah.

The Kansas City Chiefs. They're not good no more.

Yeah, that's it.

That's it.

You know what I mean?

So, like, you never know how a team reacts.

And a team in September is never the same team in December.

So, if they continually, like, they just need to take care of the football. They've been very reckless with the football.
They're getting too cute with it. Way, way too cute.
Yeah. Okay, here's a good headline that we can make for you.
Ball security is job security, baby. There you go.
How many more losses would it take for Bill Belichick to be on the hot seat? He'll never be on the hot seat. Ever? Ever.
What if he doesn't win a game for the next four years? I don't think it's possible. But what if it happened? What if? Hot seat? People have to be asking the question.
Like, you haven't shown up for the last four seasons. What do we pay you to do? I don't know.
I mean, I can't even fathom that. What if he, okay, after Thursday night game, he stays behind in the city, and he goes out to a bar, and a nice young lady is dancing next to him, and she encourages him to join her event that she has going on.
And then a video leaks after a bad loss on the road. Hot seat, Phil Belichick? He's an Ohio State hoodie.

That's a tough seat. Yeah.

Hot seat? I don't know. I don't know.

You know, that's...

That's actually one that Bill might kill you for

if you actually say, like,

Bill is wearing out his welcome in New England.

Yeah.

What?

Okay, week six. Boys, we are one third of the way into the season.
Week six. Week six.
It's crazy that we're already here. I don't like it when you say that sort of thing.
Well, I did. It reminds me of when they tweet out, like, this is the last time that the sun's going to set before 7 p.m.
until March. Which, by the way, remember that your clocks change on Sunday morning.
Saturday night, Sunday morning this week. 2 a.m.
Yep. So make sure it's fall back.
So we gain an hour. We gain an hour.
Spring forward, fall back. So we gain an hour.
So make sure you adjust your clocks. Just a little PSA out there.
Don't want to be the person who shows up late for the games on Sunday because you didn't – or actually, you show up early. Well, it's going to be an early kickoff in London.
So make sure that you fall back, get that extra hour of sleep. Yep.
Okay, so week six, what are the standings at, Jake? PFT and I had a big week, 3-1. The Lunder stopped me from going perfect after an oh and four week uh big cat billy liam two and two hank oh three and one um right now big cat 13 and seven hank and second at 11 8 and one pft and billy tied at 11 and 9 liam and i tied at 8 and 12 so go ahead liam jake rock paper scissors shoot it looks like liam won So it'll be Hank and Jake Playing golf All the way across the country No bad blood there I love it None at all Just so much sportsmanship Stuffed with sportsmanship Alright, let's get into the games then Quick, oh My current BCS rankings have the Cardinals and the Bills, 1 and 2.
Ooh, I don't like that. Cardinals 1? I don't like that.
You can't not have the Cardinals 1 with an undefeated record. No, they ain't played nobody.
I got Bills number 1, Chargers 2, Cowboys 3, Bucks 4. Strength of schedule doesn't factor into this.
Strength of schedule factors, but an undefeated team has to be number one until they lose. No, they're like Cincinnati.
Yeah, the Cardinals are my Cincinnati. Under BCS rankings, Cincinnati would have been very confusing back in the day.
No, these are... So my rankings have Bills, Chargers, Cowboys, Bucs, Cards, then tied with all of them is the Bengals, because they can tie anybody.
Got it. I have the Cardinals until they lose.
They have played someone. They played the Rams.
They beat the fuck out of the Rams at the Rams. And then the Bills have...
The fun fact about the Bills, they have double the point differential than the next than the second team not named the Cardinals. So the Cowboys are plus 53 in point differential.
The Bills are plus

108. Cardinals are plus 63.

So they are fucking killing people.

We can agree Bills should be at

the top. Yes.
Alright, so

let's get into... Oh, also, one thing I'm

going to throw out there for everyone.

Hank, I know that you'll have some underdogs,

but I just went

and looked through it because I wanted to give people something

to think about. The top bets as of right now, money and percentage of bets, the Bengals, the Packers, the Chiefs, the Chargers, the Rams, and the Cowboys.
So think about that when you're going into Sunday because half those teams will lose somehow because that's just how it works. Hank, do you want to start with our favorite? Your favorite favorite.

My favorite favorite. Make sure you make your picks on the Play Barstool app, by the way.
Picks can parlay. I think it's up to $30,000.
My favorite is the Rams favorite. The Rams are very big favorites.
All right, so I had Rams written down. Rams are my favorite.
Minus 10.5. I think it's 9.5.
Minus and a half. Daniel Jones concussed but was reading a book on the flight back from Dallas to New York after his concussion.
LeBron would never. So I don't know if that means...
I don't think he's playing. I think he's going to play.
He is. I think he's going to play.
Oh, okay. That's probably better.
He's in the protocol right now. But Mike Glennon said that if need be, he will be ready to play also.
Got it. I'm just falling into the trap of too many points.
It's a long trip. They have to travel east, early game east.
These are the things I tell myself when convincing myself to bet against a heavy favorite like the Rams. Because the Rams do look, when they're on, they're on.
Yes. But this feels like it could be just a weird Sunday.
Not sure if they're going to lose outright, but I think that's a lot of points. Yeah, no, they're one of the teams I just mentioned in the most bet games, so that would tend to believe that maybe it'd be the Giants that you'd want to bet on.
But okay, so that's your favorite, favorite. Favorite, favorite.
I'm not a favorite guy. What do you want me to do? You're not.
You have to do your job. Bubba.
Chiefs minus six and a half. Okay.
Okay. We have X Factor coming up.
Yeah. Yeah, that's why.
Yeah. It's Sean Taylor Jersey retirement day.
Bubba, does that not mean anything to you? Which, did they announce this personally? Not really. Because they want to make everyone something about Dan Sider's emails? This is planned all along.
I mean, it's a catch. Sean Taylor's not really that important to the Washington football team.
They figured people didn't really want to be aware of that or maybe plan for that before the season. Is there an anniversary or something, or is it just a random game? No, it's a random game.
I think it's 17 years. Oh, yeah.
Who doesn't celebrate 17 years? No, this is planned well in advance. Years in advance, actually.
No, I truly believe that they're not competent enough to pull off a last-minute PR stunt like this to be like, oh, shit, everyone's talking about all the emails that we've been receiving that might be made public, so we should do the Sean Taylor retirement thing this Sunday. I think that's something that a normal team would probably think would be a good thing to distract people from the other conversation.
But I don't think the football team is competent enough to pull it off on such a short timetable. So they're so incompetent that they can't be competent about being incompetent.
Got it. And I do think that they just goofed up and they were like, hey, hey whoops i guess we forgot to tell all the fans that their favorite player really the only beautiful thing that we've had going for this franchise in the last 20 years um yeah we're gonna be trying retiring his jersey maybe maybe what happened was dan snyder sent out a memo saying everyone stop emailing each other being like you know put a bandaid over a gaping wound.
And then that was why the communication never got out there that it's Sean Taylor Day. They've just been locked out of their email.
They've just not been speaking. No one in the front office or, you know, the comms department.
They haven't been able to talk to each other because no email. That's the best way to get rid of the problem.
Yeah. It's like you can't you can't print out racist memes if you're unable to symptom in the first place right and we did find out that the the most toxic part because they did the report and you remember that the report that was issued to roger goodell was the world's first oral report into an investigation of decades-long sexual harassment workplace toxicity so they gave an oral report so that you can't like print it out so you can't even release copies of the report because those don't even exist.
Right. But the bottom line was the worst part of the environment in the Washington football team front office is that John Gruden just couldn't stop emailing them.
Well, I was going to say the worst part is that Adam Schefter broke all the rules of journalism. Yeah.
That was the worst part. Well, Mr.
Editor. Yes.
Just discussing. Also, we don't say his name, but you can figure out who I'm about to say, but he did a great job of being a lightning rod for Schefter by making the story about himself and really stepping in it.
Yep. Absolutely.
Which was great. Very good job by D.
Money. Yes.
D. Money.
All right. Your favorite.
I actually, for this game, by the way, I feel like the Chiefs might be in more trouble than we let on, but I don't know. I don't know.
I mean, this is my favorite over of the week, which we'll get to, but something's weird about the Chiefs. We'll see.
I guess if they win this game convincingly, then I'll be like, okay, they're back on track, but... This definitely feels like a get- game yeah the chiefs yeah like they they're going up it's the two worst defenses playing against each other correct and the chiefs are going to just hang 60 points that we might be in for a six what is it called a 60 lobster 60 lobster 60 lobster this weekend yes all right your favorite favorite my favorite favorite is cowboys minus three and a half at the patriots uh dan quinn put on a helmet in practice this week.
Nice. And worked on taking out his player's legs because he says that's what the Patriots are going to be doing to you.
I want to give you the best look possible. So he came out with a helmet on and started diving at knees.
So I like the Cowboys in this one. Patriots are going to have a long Sunday.
Hank, I don't know how you feel about that.

It's the curse of Hank, of the check mark.

Hank becoming a blue check, I think,

might have done some damage to your beloved Patriots, Hank.

Do you have any comment about that?

Please elaborate.

Well, check Hank's over there.

You're like, oh, look at me.

I'm always going to be a bad boy.

Pizzi brought that up for that joke.

Yeah, I was going to say, I'm trying to check.

You also just tore my fire fest, but I don't see a blue checkmark next to my name. The check Hanks.
You like that nickname? Yeah. I'm not worried about it.
I think it's such a rat line that when we talked about it on Sunday. Oh, if you're going to address the Twitter, we'll talk about that at FireFest? Yeah.
Okay, alright. Yeah, no, I think it's a rat line too.
I think the Patriots might win this game. It doesn't make any sense.
That's why I like it, because I've been looking at the rat lines for the last few weeks and just betting the square side of the rat lines, and it's been a pretty successful strategy for me so far. But this does look...
I don't know. It's weird.
When we talked about it on Sunday, it's like an electric fence. You don't want to touch it, but I'm going to touch it.
I think the... and also the Cowboys have played three home games in a row, and now they go on the road.
I feel like that's always a weird thing. I don't know.
I just think the Patriots are going to be game in this one, and we're going to walk away being like, oh, maybe they actually are good. Maybe they're actually turning a corner here.
All right, my favorite favorite is the Browns, minus three. Bad weather in Cleveland, Wins 20 to 40, maybe.
I also just think the Cardinals are due for – they've been flirting with it. They're due for a loss, and they're due for the Browns to run the ball down their throat.
This is going to be a good game to figure out whether or not the Cards are actually candy ass. Yeah.
Because going up against that offense, it's like, yeah, they're going to try to maul you and chunt you to death. If they can stop the chunting, then I will officially acknowledge and admit that the cards are not candy ass.
Correct. Yeah, so I do think the Browns are going to beat them.
I think the Browns are going to man up on them, and they also are getting a little bit healthy. So the Browns are my favorite favorite of the week, and the Cardinals, not a bad team, but also I start to get upset.
It's actually kind of similar to the Steelers last year, where you start to get almost mad about the last undefeated team if you don't feel like they really deserve it. And they're not there yet, but if they win this game, I'll start to be like, what the fuck? They're not a 6-0 team.
I almost don't even think that when a team's 5-0, we shouldn't refer to them as being undefeated. Undefeated to me feels like 6-0 and above.

Yeah, this week.

It's really something.

This week they will officially be undefeated.

Billy.

I'm going with the Chiefs.

They're going to clown the Washington football show.

Oh, shit.

Damn.

Is this a...

We want to win this one?

I want to win this one.

But I don't know if you do, because if you look at those two teams,

do you think that's a lot of points?

No, I think that's a clown show.

It's a clown show. I mean, they clowned him two weeks.
I've been predicting clown shows pretty well. Yeah? What was your last clown show? Two weeks ago, the Chiefs clowned the Eagles.
Yeah, they did clown him. And the Bucs Dolphins.
You're actually right. But that wasn't a clown show.
That was a shit pumping. But I thought you said they were going to clown him.
I didn't say that the Bucs were going to clown. Did you have a clown game last week? It was a shit pumping game He did something he's never done In the history of his career So good job Billy Jake your favorite favorite My favorite favorite is the Baltimore Ravens Minus 2.5 against the Los Angeles Chargers Solely based off of this Since Lamar Jackson became starter.
They are 12-0 on short rest. The majority of those wins by double figures.
Yeah. I think in advisors I took the Chargers, but I'm already regretting it because I do think the Ravens are going to be able to run it down the Chargers' throat.
I don't know. I think Chargers' run defense is not very good.
I like the Chargers in this one. What if they did the thing that they did a few years ago when they were in the playoffs against the Ravens and dusted out the old eight defensive back formation? Yeah.
Why not? I just know that their run defense is one of the worst in the, I was about to say country, but it's not. It's in the league.
I'm going to look it up right now. I just, I don't know.
This one's a tough game. It's going to be a great game.
It's going to have some really good games. This is a very, very good game.
I'm very excited to watch it. People are, we kind of gave Lamar a pass because he had such a great game on Monday night, but he always seems to have one of those plays like he had around the one-yard line where he fumbled the ball.
And then, say what you want about DK, but DK will chase you down after he fumbles on the one. Lamar, when he was running after the defensive back, he looks slow on defense.
Yes. He's a slow defensive player.
So the Chargers now, obviously last game probably skews it a little bit, but as of right now in terms of total yardage and yards per game, they are the worst rush defense in the league. Yeah.
The last game does. That was a big game against the Browns.
Of course of course so i put that with a grain of salt but if there's one thing the ravens obviously want to do it's run the ball so uh okay good pick jake uh hank your underdog i mean is there is there any other option what the lunder for your underdog oh underdog my bad I jumped the gun there. Yeah.
Ah, Patriots. Oh, okay.
Okay, head to head with PFT. PFT, yeah.
Yeah.

All right, ooh. The Lunder? For your underdog? Oh, underdog.
My bad. I jumped a gun there.

Patriots.

Oh, okay.

Head to head with PFT. PFT, yeah.

I do think the Patriots are going to keep this game close.

Yeah, Moneyline.

Smash it.

Sprinkle it.

Suck it off.

It's going to be hell.

Finish it off.

It's going to be Boston Sunday, right?

This is when every team is going to be playing?

No, that's if the ALCS goes seven games.

Okay.

Next weekend. That'll be a hell of a game.
Yeah, because the ALCS is Friday, Saturday? Friday, Saturday. To start.
Right? Okay, Liam, your underdog. Lions plus three and a half.
Okay. I just feel like they're due.
I think they're going to win this game. They're so due, me too.
They. He cried for his team.
I like the fact that the Lions are going into this game and the story is they keep finding these new ways to win on field goals. The Bengals, I think all their wins have been three-point wins except for the Steelers, one that they had.
All their games have been three points here or there. I love taking the Lions in this because I don't feel like this is going to be a blowout.
I think that if you play for Dan Campbell right now, you don't want to make him cry again. No.
You know that feeling? Have you ever made a parent cry? It's the worst feeling on earth. Terrible.
And you're going to do anything possible to not let Dan Campbell cry in that postgame press. Unless it's tears of joy.

Yes.

Which would be great.

I think he would cry if they won.

He has to, yeah.

I also, I know this is a very silly thing to say, but Joe Burrow being on a speech count right now because he can't, his throat.

Voice rest. Yeah, the throat contusion.

I do think that affects things.

Yeah.

He can't, he just can't talk to the team.

He can't, you know, he can't do anything right now with his voice.

Yeah, it's tough.

You can't practice your hard count.

He's a mime.

Yep.

He's a quarterback mime.

We should put Billy on throat rest at some point.

Yeah.

I think that'd be a good idea.

Just to save your...

You mean Billy the throat goat?

Yeah, to save your voice, Billy, for later.

Yes, yes.

Perfect.

We're going to need it down the stretch.

I'll take the rest now.

All right, your underdog, PFT. I'm going to do the Lunderdog.
Oh, okay. So I'm going going to need it down the stretch.
I'll take the rest now. All right, your underdog, PFT.

I'm going to do the Lunderdog.

Oh, okay.

So I'm going to switch it up a little bit.

The Lunder broke my heart last week, so I got to go with the Lunderdog.

That's the Jags, plus three.

Yep.

Urban Meyer is going to get the team's identity on offense trending in the right direction,

250, 250.

Is Tua going to play?

Don't care.

I think he might.

He might.

Don't care.

I like it with Tua.

I like it with Brissette.

I look at the the right direction 250 250 is two are gonna play don't care i think he might he might don't care uh i i like it with two i like it with brissette i love it with sinnet if that's the guy that they go to um but yeah trevor lawrence said it's ironic that they're going overseas to play the dolphins it's ironic that is ironic it's not that is irony is if you were to be like urban meyer uh taught a class on ethics. And meanwhile, he's knuckles deep in his TA.
Yeah. That's ironic.
Irony is if you were to be like Urban Meyer taught a class on ethics,

and meanwhile he's knuckles deep in his TA.

Yeah.

That's irony.

Which he did teach a class on ethics.

Yeah, he did.

Yes.

This is just unusual that you're going overseas to play the Dolphins.

It's weird.

It's wild.

Yeah, it is wild.

It's borderline wild that both these teams in Florida are going to play somewhere else.

Yep.

Okay, that game is going to, ugh. it's just, why do they do this? Just put it at one o'clock so we can forget about it then.
I like the Jags outright. Yeah, I think so too.
All right. I'm going to do it.
I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to do it to myself again. I think the bears, I actually think the bears might win, but bears plus five, I see four and a half, four and a half.
All right. It right it's four and a half giving me four and a half the Bears have beaten the Packers three times in the last 10 years it's been that bad it's been very very bad and one of those times was Shane McClellan broke Aaron Rodgers in half um I just I don't know I have a feeling their defense is playing well the Packers are banged up on defense and again I've done this to myself many many times where Packer week comes and I'm like start of the week I say oh my god I'm so scared and by the end of the week I'm like we're gonna fucking win this game and then I sit in a puddle of my own tears and it sucks and I do think that Aaron Rodgers is he's he's really playing with us because he was making some comments about Bears fans being mean and how he'd never play for the Bears and all this stuff.
And I just want to beat him so fucking bad. And all he does is beat our brains in.
So this is the week. Yeah.
And you got Mason Crossbar coming off the worst game of his career. Dude, this is going to be a tight game.
Bears defense. Jalen Johnson is going to lock down Devontae Adams.
Also, the Bears beat the Bengals in regulation. It took the Packers overtime to beat the Bengals.
Transitive property. Bears are better than the Packers.
Yes. This also is a very big week because it's like if the Bears win this game, they are now officially a borderline playoff team.
You can flirt with the playoffs. If they lose, it's like, okay, we are what we are.
Not a very good team. I looked at the graphic today.
The Bears are in the hunt. Yeah, no,

if they win this game, they'd be tied for, actually

be in first in the NFC

North. Yep.
Alright, that is my underdog.

Billy.

I'm going with the Chargers. I think they're going to

pull it out. Yeah.
Yep. Okay.

Like, yes, they have the worst rushing defense

in the Ravens like to run,

but I feel like they're

going to pull it out somehow. Okay.
Yeah. I like him, too.
That's all you gotta to say. I just like Justin Herbert.
I like a money line. I think you can put up the points.
Yeah. Justin Herbert pulled a big-time Mike Zimmer.
You remember that old interview with Mike Zimmer where they asked him, if you weren't a football coach, what would you be doing? And he was like, I don't know. I'd probably be coaching football somewhere.
And so they asked Justin Herbert, I think it was on the Dan Patrick show, what do you do for fun like besides play football and he's like uh I like to play football like football is fun yeah football I like it football guy football that's it Justin Herbert I am a little worried about the Chargers third and fourth down conversions are like insane right now I'm worried that that's going to regress but that's just that's a worry I'll keep to myself. Because they're going for it on fourth and seven all the time.
Yeah, I know. Which is awesome when it works, but I am with you in the fact that by the numbers, it's going to not work at some point.
Right, exactly. I'm going to try to look that up real quick.
What were you going to say, Billy? I'm trying to lose this one. You are? Yeah.
Okay. How are you doing? That was good to know.
I wish you had told me beforehand. On the ones that you're trying to lose, how are you doing on those? I'm perfect.
Last week I went 2-2. So I'm staying right at 50.
I'm trying. No, but did you lose the games that you were trying to lose? Yep.
Or did you accidentally win one of the ones? Yep. No, I did perfect.
The Chargers are fourth and third down conversion in the league. So maybe they aren't let me see what fourth down conversion the chiefs are insane in third down conversion uh so you're trying to lose this one good to know billy thank you uh what is your favorite underdog jake i am taking the houston texans plus 10 at the indianapolis colts who are the colts to be favored by double figures against a divisional opponent? Who are they? Who are the Colts? Yeah, I like it.
Who the fuck do they think they are? Where do they get off? Seriously. Minus 10 against a divisional team? It's a lot of points, Jay.
They've won one game, haven't they? Who do they think they are? Yeah. It's unbelievable.
It's bullshit is what it is. I do need to wait to see if the roof is going to be open or closed.
Fair. I feel like this weekend, this weekend it could be open.
This could be the weekend. Too many points.
Too many points. They pay those guys to play football, too.
All right, let's go under. Go ahead, Hank.
Heartbroken last week. Got to get revenge.
Taking the Lunder. You are taking the Lunder.
Have to. It's such a terrible like terrible proposition though to take the lunder and be like i could start the day oh and one in it like starting the day oh and one with an under that's really bad vibes i did it last week and i feel like i need to get and how'd you do the rest of the day terrible yeah so there it is so be careful that's all i'm saying don't care Don't care.
Okay. I like that.
I like the confidence. All right.
Lunder, Hank. Anyone else have the Lunder? Jake, of course you do.
Of course you do, Jake. Yeah.
We're doing the under first. Yeah, we're doing the under first, and you have the Lunder.
Correct. Yes.
Under 47. Go ahead, Bubba.
Bengals, Lions, under 47 and a5. I like that, too.

That is mine.

Is that yours, PFT?

No, I like it.

Okay, that is mine as well.

So there we go.

I do think that that game is going to be...

That's going to be one of those games that Red Zone might have forgotten.

Yeah.

And we're like, oh, what the hell is the score in this game?

That's what I was thinking.

A lot of field goals and stuff.

Yeah, the Lions are also in a weird score.

They're in the Chris Berman score range with some of their finishes, like 19-7've gone 19 to 7 twice 19 17 sorry 19 17 twice yep that makes no sense so yeah they're they're a weird score team 21 to 18 22 to 19 okay that that works that works 22 19 that works Bliance win yes yeah yeah or they're gonna win their first game I don't know I just feel it I feel it. That works.
22-19. That works.
Blions win. Yes.
Yeah. Yeah.
Or they're going to win. No, they're going to win their first game.
I don't know. I just feel it.
I feel it. All right.
PFT, you're under. I'm doing the, what is it, the Lunday Night Football? Lunday Night Football.
Sunder. Sunder Night Football.
Sunder Night Football. It's Seahawks at the Steelers.
It's 42. It's a low under, but it's going to be Geno Smith.
I think the league might have figured out Geno Smith, big cat. On that last drive? Yeah.
I think the blueprint's out there for how to shut him down. The Steelers defense is going to show up.
And also, I mean, I want to bet against the Seahawks because they didn't sign our boy, Blake Bortles. Yes.
They brought him in. They teased him.
Curse on their house. They brought him in just to pick his brain on how to beat the Steelers, probably probably field yates should have to give back all those retweets and likes agreed that's bullshit actually you know what blake it was blake's idea blake was like i don't like this system so i'm gonna decline the job yes p carroll doesn't let his guys cook enough i do think that uh there will be a lot of people who will sell themselves on geno smith and then remember that geno is Geno Smith.
Yes. And it will be very quickly the Steelers' defense is playing awesome football.
So if I'm Geno Smith and I somehow win this game, I think you have to fake an injury immediately. Yes, absolutely.
And get a huge contract afterwards. Absolutely.
He's already got himself down pretty far in the hole. I would have faked the injury right after the game last weekend.
I would have faked it after the first 98-yard drive. Exactly.
You need to strike while the iron's hot in this league. He's really rolling the dice a little bit too much and betting on himself.
Geno. When you're Geno Smith, that's a dangerous person to bet on.
Yes, yes. All right, I gave my under.
It's the same as Bubba's. Billy finished us off because Jake has the same one as Hank.
I think the Cardinals Broncos under 49.5. I I like – Cardinals aren't playing the Broncos, though.
Wait, what did I write down? Yeah, that game's going to have zero points. It's Raiders or Broncos.
Raiders or Broncos or Cardinals or Browns? Browns, Browns. Cardinals or Browns.
A lot of wind. Yeah, a lot of wind.
I just feel like it's going to be the under. Yeah, you like it so much you didn't know they were playing.
Browns and Broncos looks the same in my bad handwriting. That's okay.
That's fair. Is this a lose-it game? Yeah.
Oh, it is. So you're trying to lose.
I'm trying to lose this one. Okay, got it, got it.
So we got two losses, and then you'll have a win coming up, right? Yep. Okay.
Hank, you're over. I'm trying to win this one, so that's good for me.
I'm going over Browns-Cardinals. Oh, wow.
Everyone's talking about this win like they fucking are meteorologists and just know that it's going to be gusting. Who knows? It's Thursday right now.
So what happens if it is gusting? Both teams are still, you know, good running teams, bad defenses. The Browns let up 1,000 points last week.
The Cardinals can score a lot of points either way. Good running games.
But the win is one of those things where everyone's like, the win, the win, the win, the wind, the wind, the wind. We don't know if the wind's going to be that.
Do you respect wind? He doesn't. I don't think you respect wind.
I don't respect wind on a Thursday when we're talking about a game on a Sunday. You don't respect wind.
That's bullshit. I don't respect you pretending to be a meteorologist.
I'm not. You are.
I just respect wind. Every time I say it over, you're like, wind, but the wind.
You don't know about the wind. You want to make a wind bet? No.
Let's make a wind bet. What is the gust of the wind going to be? Over 20 miles an hour and I win.
No, but it's like, it's supposed to be 30 or 40. No, it's a 20 to 40.
Okay, so you're going for the lowest possible number. You get 0 to 20, I get 20 to 40.
22 and a half. Are we talking sustained win or are we talking Gus? Gus.
It's 20 to 40 and you're trying to go 25. If it's Gus, it should be a loser.
What does the hire have to do? I don't know. Has to blow the winner.
Yes. There it is.
Deal. Deal.
Bet. Okay.
But like blow like... Yeah, yeah.
Blow on. Yeah.
Yeah. Like Lance Stevenson.
Yes. LeBron.
Yes. Exactly.
Yes. Leaf blower.
Deal. You don't respect wind.
This is crazy. I just, no, yeah.
I don't. You don't.
You don't. What do you respect in terms of weather? Do you respect the snow? I respect snow.
I respect the. Hail.
Hail. What about tornadoes? Hail doesn't really come around enough.
Tornadoes is just wind. Earthquakes? You respect earthquakes? Torn earthquakes tornadoes is real wind that's what i would call real wind that's a good quote tornadoes is real wind yeah that's not that fraud ass wind no anything else is pussy shit hurricane hurricanes hurricanes are legit that's legit wind tropical storms tsunamis tropical storms not real wind.
Nah. Yeah.
What about typhoons?

Typhoons?

What about seish waves?

Don't even know what those are, so no.

No respect.

What about kill anyone in the Great Lakes?

That's not weather.

Supercell's weather.

That sounds like a superhero.

Wildfires.

What about gravel?

Grapple.

Grapple.

It's not grapple this weekend, though.

Yeah, no, but what about it?

When grapple occurs. No respect.

Sleet.

No. Earthquakes? Yeah.
Okay. Global warming.
grapple this weekend though yeah no but what about it when grapple occurs no respect all right sleet no earthquakes yeah okay global warming not real yeah rain acid rain yes volcanoes rain yes volcanoes yes volcanoes yes we're naming disaster movies now yeah the rock The Wrestler San Andreas F andreas fault new songs a banger who the rock yeah is it the rock he raps hell yes 10 luck 20 skill although we should really we should remember that he did do a rap song with the fujis back in like 2002 it doesn't matter it's a great song that is true um all, that was guys talking weather. Liam, you're over.
Chargers-Ravens, over 53. Okay.
We got a lot riding on this Chargers-Ravens game. I like it.
I like it. Yeah, it's just a Glenny Balls fun over.
Let me just look at the wind real quick. It is a fun over.
You're with me, weather. In Baltimore.
Okay, PFT, you're over. I got the Washington football team chiefs over.
Just two all-time bad defenses right now. And I am thinking that long-term, the football team will eventually figure it out.
But this is not the week that it's going to happen. There will be nothing figured out this week.
Wins 16 miles an hour in Baltimore on Sunday. Scared? Hank, should I be? No.
Okay. What about in Raljon, Maryland? Let me find that.
The only reason I'm a little nervous about this over, so it's 55 and a half. I'm nervous because it's so obvious.
Yeah. Like both these defenses suck, so now, of course, both these defenses will have a great Sunday

and we'll be like, what the fuck just happened?

What I'm concerned about is we might get the bad version of Taylor Heineke

occasionally.

Like last week?

The Loneke, yeah.

And so he's going to throw some interceptions,

and that would obviously impact the football team's ability to score.

But the good news is Patrick Mahomes just needs one play

to throw the ball 70 yards, and it's another touchdown. Well, wait, hold on.
You didn't let me say the wind yet? Okay. What's the wind? Looks like the wind is going to be seven miles an hour.
Okay. I love the over then.
Up to nine. Okay.
Eleven. Up to 11.
Double digits makes me nervous. I still like it.
I still like the over. Billy, you're over.
Seahawks, Steelers, over 42. Going head-to-head with PFT.
I'm actually trying to lose this one, too. Okay, so you're trying to lose all your bets.
I'm trying to lose three out of my four. I'm going to go one and three.
Okay, if you do go one and three. I'm getting too high over 500.
I just want to stay right there. We got to get back down.

Yep.

Yep.

Yep.

Fair.

Fair.

And then Jake finishes off.

I'm with Hank on Cardinals Browns over 49 and a half.

Okay.

Any games you missed?

We did miss the Vikings Panthers.

I do think the Vikings are going to win this week, and I think that everyone's going to

try to shove it in our face about Kirk Cousins, and then I'm going to have to say, well, it

was Sam Darnold.

Yep.

So this is actually a loser leaves town. Yeah.
I think that loser gets the Dunn chain of this game. Yes.
Yes. Hanging it on him.
It's a must win for the Vikings because the rest of their schedule is really, really tough. Yes.
I think they've got probably like almost eight guaranteed losses from here on out. Okay.
Yeah. No, I'm looking right now.
Definitely a tough schedule coming up. And then the Raiders versus the Broncos.
I am all in on this Rich Basichia guy. How do you say his name? Basichia? Yeah, his press conference where he just started talking about how big his family is.
Yeah. We didn't ask.
Well, he was also crying. I loved it.
He was crying thinking about his men. Yeah.
He's like, there are a lot of guys in the locker room,

just like a lot of guys that put me in a position of trust, of leadership.

Yep.

When you cry thinking about your men and you cry,

oh, he's also crying thinking about an opportunity that he has.

He's like, no one gets this opportunity.

I'm just so privileged to be in a place where I get my shot at it.

Crying about your men and your opportunities, that's football guy stuff.

And I'm not 100% sure if he's going to

be an interim all-star like we've

seen in the past with certain coaches,

but I do know that he's close enough

to it where I have to bet on him

because I don't want to miss out on it just in case

that he is. I think they're going to

bounce back here for a couple weeks, and it's

going to be a few weeks before they fall

back to earth, but I think they're going to get something out

of this guy. He reminds me of Jersey Jerry a little bit.
He looks like Goldberg, the wrestler, which also is bonus points. So, yeah, the Raiders and interim Rich, I'm in.
I'm all in. And Booker said he was a top five foxhole guy.
That's right. But he also had some questionable foxhole choices, I think, didn't he? Sean McDermott? Yeah.
Put Sean McDermott in his foxhole. Who else was in it? I can't remember.
Not Bill Belichick, which made Hank Madd. Not Tony Dungy? Not Tony Dungy.
He doesn't go in another man's foxhole? Nope, absolutely not. That's sus.
It's preposterous. That's very sus.
You think Tony Dungy, if he was in World War II and was like, oh, the bombs are coming,. He's like, jumping my foxhole.
He's like, pause. Yeah.
All right, let's do Fancy Fuckboys, and we have Julian Edelman and a very special guest, X-Factor, from the famous X-Factor versus Red Extreme fight in Kansas City on Sunday night. Yes.

Yeah. It was just a character in a Halloween commercial.
And they were like, everyone loves the wolf. Yeah.
It's a fact. Your inner beer wolf.
It was actually a werewolf. Yeah.
More beer companies need to get back into the whole live animal mascot thing. And for a second today, I was telling Billy that it was an actual wolf and not a human inside the suit.
And he totally believed it. What if there was a wolf inside the wolf suit? It could be.
It could also be that. We don't don't know yeah we don't know but billy believed me for about 30 seconds like wait you're serious i was like no no i'm not billy is that true no i didn't think that pft actually knew there was a costume got it he thought there was actually a wolf we should get a real wolf have it just smash some beers um all right let's get to our interview pft you got a quick word from our sponsor beforehand before's get to our interview.

So we wanted to get to the bottom of it. We wanted to talk to the man himself.
It is X-Factor. X-Factor, thank you for joining us.
How are you doing right now physically? Are you okay?

Thanks for having me on, guys.

No, physically I am not.

My head hurts. I got knocked in the next week, Deboed.

So I had some teeth chipped.

So I got tooth pain.

I got four broken ribs.

And I even sprained my ankle Sunday morning before the game fishing so i got a sprained ankle wow so the broken ribs can we talk about that real quick there's some people out there not us not us because we're still trying to do our investigation get to the bottom of it some people out there are saying hey x factor do you you got in a car crash earlier this week or last week? Yeah. Then you got punched in the face and then said that you broke ribs with the punch in the face.
Yes. OK, so that's that's the story we're going with.
Yeah, I broke my left knuckle in the wreck and then i had glass in my arm and stuff i had a concussion but i didn't break no ribs in the wreck i was wearing a seatbelt yeah got it um i i'd also like to say we probably should have introduced you at the top of this interview by uh giving you your respect that you are entitled to you are a hall of famer pro football Fame superfan. Yeah.
One of just a handful of people that can say that. So congratulations on the induction.
I know it was you and Barry Sanders that got in the same year. Yep.
And John Elway. And John Elway.
Three all-timers. Yeah.
And so I saw the pictures of the car wreck. I want to make sure, how are your guinea pigs doing? Are they safe? Did they survive the crash? Yeah, yeah.
That was a crazy story in itself. So they actually, one of them was ejected.
I found him outside the vehicle in the mud. He went out the passenger window.
And then we couldn't find the other one. We had a bunch of people looking.
And I went back after they turned the car back on its wheels, and I heard it going, it was caught in between the windshield and the dash. Whoa.
And I thought it was dead almost, like I was going to have to kill it. And I picked up the glass, and she came running out.
So they're Kelsey and Tyreek. Kelsey and Tyreek.
That's great, and they're healthy as ever. So I'm interested to know about the lead-up to the fight with Red Extreme.
I know that you kind of took him under your wing and showed him the ropes about how to become a superfan, even gave him his nickname. But then I guess things went sour along the way, and people are saying that you threw something at red extreme that instigated the fight is that is that true or maybe you can walk us through how the incident occurred um i was actually going down to meet a friend that comes up from oklahoma he had his grandson with him to take a picture before right right after game start i was running late um big on Sunday night.
Usually I'm in the stadium an hour before the game. I was in there about 15 minutes after.
Pitchers, everything. But anyways, I was going down to meet him.
And yeah, I stopped and saw some friends. A bunch of people wanted pictures as I'm walking down that deal.
I't even see him um and stuff but um you know i'm taking pictures and all of a sudden i see him running up the stairs and he looks like he's gonna kill me for some reason so i tried to grab his jersey just to talk to him you know stop him and yeah that's when he threw the the one time um sucker punch i didn't you know he's never hit me before in the past we have a lot of history so it kind of shocked me so so what you're saying is it was a sucker punch not in the fact like you saw it coming it was a sucker punch in the fact that he had never hit you before so then it becomes a sucker punch correct got it um real

quick on the on the pictures how many pictures do you take in a given game because you know we're

close friends with another uh pretty famous guy marlin's man who gets hounded like the beatles

uh is it is it just crazy is it just pictures all the time for x-factor yeah i'm actually good

friends of marlin man too nice i see him here in kansas city i last time i saw him was super bowl miami um we and of course yeah once me and him get together then everybody wants pictures with marlin man and x-factor yeah it's like a super band yeah like traveling wilburys it's like when leo and george clooney go out together't get anywhere. You guys can't make me laugh too much.
I got four broken ribs. From the punch.
From the punch. Yeah.
Right. Not from the car accident.
It hurts. I don't know if you have broken ribs.
I have. This shit hurts.
Yeah. And I'm actually a rib doctor if you need any help.
It sounds to me, actually, I heard that little wheeze there. It sounds like you might have six broken ribs maybe yeah possibly yeah all right so so the punch happens um do you know why he punched you we saw there was some maybe bad blood from 18 years ago but that seems like it would be a random time to to get justice from 18 years ago so what what what maybe caused this for Red Extreme to sucker punch you while you were looking at him? He said somebody threw water at him.
Oh. And it wasn't you.
It wasn't you. No, no.
Now, where does the bad blood stem from? What is the history there? Well, he literally was my best friend. I took him to do everything.
I made him famous. Yep.
And then he ended up sleeping with the mother of my child. Oh.
And he, like, he would, like. Guy code.
You can't do that. Come on.
Yeah. And then, like, we'd be at the game all day long.
I'd wonder why the mother of my child was always mad at me always seemed to know everything because he was sitting there texting or everything i was doing and saying oh man so that's yeah that's bad but so so red extreme i i gotta admit x factor is there a part of you that's like is red extreme more famous than you because i've heard of red extreme I had not heard of x factor until this it's not even close okay all right good all right because i was worried i i likened it to i'm the one in the pro i'm in the one in the pro football hall of fame i'm the one that helped bring two guinness world records for crowd noise arrowhead stadium i think yeah i I agree with you. I mean, I've a lot of football in my day but i don't think i can even be mentioned the same breath as x factor because you did set the world record for the most football watched in a row right yeah i watched 70 straight hours but even bigger than that i'm the guy we got to well we got it's the current guinness world record for crowd noise 142.2 decibels we're the loudest stadium not only in the nfl but the world i brought that to can't city my friends all right so let me ask you a quick question on that record was red extreme in the crowd on that record breaking day yes oh so it's it's his record too no i i'm the one that got ganas i got the chiefs i got i i set it all up it's all of our record it's 80 000 there was two different times we did it so we did it and then seattle came back and beat us by 0.1 decibel and after we broke their initial record and then we came back and beat them the second time so there was technically

160 possible and after we broke their initial record um and then we came back and beat them the second time so there was uh technically 160 000 people there but a lot of the same people were there for both how do you engineer a record like that was there a certain time of the game like after the third quarter we're going to start screaming no guinness gives you three attempts they have a judge right there with a monitor and we had a judge with the chiefs and we'd see a big play happen and we'd say we're gonna mark this plane and record for a minute how loud we got and you only got three chances got it so is there any way that that you oh are you careful be careful i. Did you hear the rib? Uh-oh, that might have been a tooth.
Is there any way that you and Red Extreme can olive branch this? Can you guys get back together? Or is this something that might, like, every time you go to a game now, you're going to be looking forward for the sucker sucker punch but you're going to be looking forward for the sucker punch at all times well i have for 18 years he's been threatened to do this for 18 years oh wow so he just finally was like enough is enough yeah yeah i mean and there there's other super fans that hate me so like i'm the top super fan and then all these wannabe guys all hang together and lot d they all hate on me they all start lies about me all the time you know trying to get me to not come to arrowhead because it's like a freaking high school um it's gross you know like the uh homecoming king yeah mean girls it sounds like a mean girls situation you're dealing with here. Yeah.
It sounds like a lot of jealousy too. They hate us because they hate us.
Yeah, you're number one. They look at the X Factor and they want to take that crown.
Yeah, they do. They want all the attention.
Which I can have it. I don't like doing interviews.
Right. Obviously, I'm not too worried about this interview cycle today because I'm already late to doing interviews everybody called me it sounds like you'd just rather keep to yourself and discreetly root for the Chiefs yeah I.
Not anymore. I mean, some stars shine bright, and there's nothing you can do about it.
There was a controversy as well in this. Red Extreme said that you do meth.
Can we get it on the record that you do not do meth? No, I've never done meth. I got meth teeth because I chewed and smoked and did cocaine and alcohol for too many years.
No meth. No meth.
No record. So we should maybe consider a lawsuit.
Yes. Okay.
It's already going down. I already talked to lawyers.
Now, let me ask you this. This is a very important important question if you and red extreme face off in a court will you be wearing the hat sure why not okay good good because that's the right answer because like i don't think you can show up and and as like yourself you got to be x x factor well you're entitled in the united states to face your accuser and if you punch x-factor then x-factor has to show up it can't be the man behind the mask right no no no he can't get clark kent a lot of people call me superman because i wear a cape and spandex so yeah you can't get the clark kent version because clark would probably lose in court there you go man so um i i know that there's you know there's this rivalry between yourself and and red extreme um we we do a a series of boxing matches here at barstool we call it rough and rowdy would you be interested in maybe stepping into the boxing ring and solving your problems through violence no back in the day i would have no no more i'm 46 this shit hurts Fuck this yeah the ribs i mean i know that the ribs they gotta hurt what did you think about um uh red extreme's quote when he said i've never in my life felt so bad about feeling so good because knocking that low-life son of a bitch out was the greatest feeling i've had in a long time i hadn't even seen that quote quote.
That's pretty good. Yeah.
So how do you feel about that? Well, I guess if he feels good. I did see that he goes, I want to be famous, but not famous like this.
Well, he picked his poison. Yeah.
They persecuted Jesus, too. I believe that was your quote from the article.
Yep. did and always disciples yeah that's true and do you have disciples right now because it sounds like you're kind of on an island when it comes to the chiefs fandom i mean it feels like there are the the d lot gang uh the mean girls and then x factor who's just he's trying to just live his life and he keeps getting bothered.
No, I've got millions. So, like, you go to Arrowhead, nobody ever says anything bad, you know, to my face.
It's just nothing but love at Arrowhead. And no matter where I go.
Like, I'm going to Washington this Saturday for the game on Sunday and there there'll be nothing but love. Yeah.

So.

Yeah.

What do you think about the Chiefs right now?

Can we get a little take on the team as they're struggling a little bit?

Yeah, they're kind of like X Factor.

They got knocked out a couple times, but you better watch out for them,

especially at the end of that fight.

We're like Rocky Balboa.

Yes.

Yes.

I love it.

Love it.

So what's your plan going forward? You're going to initiate a lawsuit it sounds like or is there yeah yeah you got to do the criminal and civil on him um so yeah i'm i'm actually seven hours away from kansas city i'm fishing and on the mend i really hurt so i'm at my hometown littleinky town, 3000. So till tomorrow, and then I'll go back Kansas City and I fly out six o'clock Saturday morning to go hang out with the Hogettes in Washington.
Do you go to every road game? Not every road game, but I go to, I've been to like 102 over the years and been to every stadium. Nice.
Just a thought, maybe X Factor, maybe you should start wearing some type of Kevlar vest, maybe some type of armor now that you're clearly a wanted man. Have you thought about that? No, spandex is good enough.
I ain't scared. Okay.
All right. That's good.
That's good. All right.
So my last question for you, X Factor, this has been fantastic.

We really appreciate you joining us.

So there seems to be a lot of bad blood in this one section.

Do you all sit in the same section?

Is that what the problem is?

Okay.

So are you going to change your seats?

Is Red Extreme going to change your seats? Because it seems like this section is not big enough for the two of you. It's the same end zone.
I just happened to come walking down there to see a buddy. I don't think Red Extreme actually has season tickets where he sits in the same place because I don't see him.
I've sat in the same seats for 24 years i'm not moving he's so he's he might be a fraud and then do you know who maybe threw the the water probably a bills fan yeah probably a bills fan um how did red extreme get his nickname for me and how'd you come up with that? I like the play on X because he was like, you know, my

sidekick.

So he was always wearing red everything.

So I said, how about red X stream?

Love it.

Have you given anyone else a nickname?

Yeah, I've given I've helped quite a few super fans over the years.

Can we hear them?

Yeah. Can we hear the names?

So, Wild Child.

Nice.

We got Tomahawk Kid.

I like that one.

Now we got The Magician and stuff.

That's my boy, Lenny, that's next to me.

I didn't name him, but we got santa um he's one of my apprentice um got it and and then when you say apprentice do you mean like you're showing them the ropes like how to become a super fan how to how to cheer correctly what is that like i run a charity organization so they want to do charity work with me So it's like teaching

Teaching them all that stuff

Is there an application process

Like a vocational school

If you want to be an X Factor apprentice

No

Maybe I should

Go through it better

At least get a

Dealer fax

On these guys

Make sure that they're not going to punch you 18 years from now

And sleep with your baby's mom

Thank you. At least get a dealer fax on these guys, you know.
Yeah, make sure that they're not going to punch you 18 years from now and sleep with your baby's mom. Yeah, no shit.
So what about other super fans across the NFL? Are there any particular ones that you're close with? Real close to the Violator in Oakland, most famous one there. Big Nasty out of tampa bay yeah um let's see steve the owner and um um green bay steve um the ultimate fan and texans yeah there's a bunch of them i'm really close to do you know detroit don and super fan in detroit correct yes i do actually i think uh and and what's the turkey guy name oh i don't know i just i'm good friends with detroit don and super fan oh okay yeah i know i'm not like good friends with them but yeah i know them yeah yeah i mean they got they were actually similarly persecuted they got kicked out for standing on defense in the third quarter on third down.
Yeah. What? Well, other people might have said that they were just flipping everyone off and screaming at people in the section.
But as far as I know, they got kicked out for standing on defense. Wow.
Yeah. Crazy.
I don't think that happened at Arrowhead. No, no.
Fuck that. You guys, yeah.
I mean, it was bullshit. They got persecuted as much as you did.
And I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.
Do you know the Seattle Seahulk? Yeah. He's great.
Cannonball. Oh, you're talking about Hulk? Yeah, the guy that he's in the front row and his entire body is painted green.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've never actually met him.
He's like not in the Hall of Fame or nothing. Oh, yeah.
Sorry for asking. He's a newer one.
We can cut that part out. Nobody needs to know about him.
All right, well, X Factor, best of luck the rest of the season. I hope you feel better.
And if you do change your mind, Ruffin Rowdy with Red Extreme, it would sell a lot of pay-per-views. We could probably get a nice purse for the winner.
Yeah, and can we book Tyson Holyfield right after it? When I think Red Extreme versus X-Factor, I think Tyson Holyfield. That's for sure.
Yes, well, get both of them. Well, they would be the undercard for you.
Yeah, right. You guys would be the heavyweight both of them well they would be the undercard for you right you guys yeah they'd be the undercard for us because you know we're the new news they're the old shit yeah right exactly uh and then also good luck on the guinea pig you you you uh breed guinea pigs well yeah they're the kelsey's a girl um and tyreek's a boy so yep, yep, we're going to have a family of them.
Mahomes and Tyreek. We already got Tyreek.
Tyran, all of them. Love it.
Do you have to change the name of your guinea pig to Kels? Now that he's clarified how to say his last name. That's the biggest BS deal ever.
I agree. He got you all.
Yeah, not you, though. No.
You got to wake up pretty early in the day to fool X Factor. Yes.
Yes. All right, well, X Factor, best of luck this weekend, and hopefully you feel better, man.
Yeah, God bless you guys. Yep, Chiefs will go whoop on those NFC teams now because, yeah, the AFC is kind of brutal right now.
Yeah. Bill's got your number right now.
All right. Well, thanks so much.
All right, guys. God bless you.
Go Chiefs. All right.

Henry, I think we know what we're gonna talk about but go ahead uh yeah well i alluded to her during fuckboys at some point when we were recording this show like my phone just lost all its cellular service uh that happened to me once just unfortunate time since then your dad got a job about to yeah yeah yeah uh i think i figured it out okay good But if I'm not answering or Yeah. I think I figured it out.
Okay.

Good.

But if I'm not answering or have any contact with you guys this weekend.

It has nothing to do with going to Florida LSU.

Okay.

No, I'm dead ass.

That's fair.

Dead ass B.

Dead ass.

I mean, that'd be tough to have your phone die before you're on a bachelor party weekend.

Yeah.

I know.

Also, my first bachelor party weekend, so I'm kind of nervous about that.

Whoa.

All right.

My real fire fest, though, is yesterday.. You going to fuck? No.
Maybe. Who knows? You never know.
Will you let us know if you do? Yeah, definitely. Send a heart to the group chat.
I'll put up an Instagram post and tag you guys. Okay, perfect.
Yesterday, during stool streams, me and Jake were just going through a broadcast, doing our thing rocks paper scissors shoot intense as ever and uh i got an email notification like a buzz check my phone my service was still working yesterday and it said you have now been verified and i was like there's no way this has to be a different account like a part of my take or something something something go to twitter boom blue check mark next to my name and this coming from the same account that has tweeted out if you get verified you're a sheep yeah no i know no i said if you're verified you're a sheep not if you get verified well you did get verified but i'm not i'm no longer verified i i went through everything i could i i told twitter to go fuck itself in as many ways i possibly could and they unverified me so It's just weird that you guys verified. It was a tough two hours.
PFT, it was maybe, I don't know, 10 minutes, and PFT had put up like 17 Instagram posts about it. That's not true.
Really just blowing up my spot. I put up one post like four hours after the fact.
Even though he was the original unverified bad boy and sold his soul to the devil. Big Cat sold his soul a long time ago.
At least I'm the only one who's honest here about selling my soul. Twitter forced the check on me, and Hank never believed that Twitter would do something like that without your permission.
Well, I got it unchecked pretty quickly, and you could too. I can show you how right now if you want to.
I've already gotten unchecked. Twitter did force the check on you two days after Gaz sent an email saying, does anyone want to get the verified check? Oh, that's interesting.
Yeah, we did get an email. That was weird.
No, and I'm talking about with Hank. No, but with you as well.
Yeah, that was weird. Me and Gaz are close.
We're good friends. Brady, four members together.
And I texted him probably as many of a text messages I've ever said. What'd you say? I was like, what the fuck, man? And he was just like, question mark, question mark, question mark.
Well, he's retired. And then I was like, dude, like, why you got to do me like this? He's like, I swear it wasn it wasn't me he's like okay sounds like some some cappuccino yeah you think you think guys would do that behind your back it does i mean i something doesn't add up here i i mean unless i'm just my tweets are so far that twitter was like we have to verify this man and there has been some fake account there's a fake fake accounts there's a they're well they're fanks yeah fake hanks offense to hanks.
There has been a few that there's one that's Hank is old now. He just replies to all my tweets with Billy saying Hank is old.
I love when people say you're old now. It's like, well, guess what? You're going to become someday.
Also old. That's how time works, buddy.
It's been a world it's been a whirlwind of uh 24 hours damn yeah can i tell you something yeah i i made oh you fucking i was behind it yeah all right that makes sense yeah that's why you were posting about it that's why all right yep gotcha got yeah you did get me you did get me gotcha got your ass you got got all right fair Fair. Gotcha, Rass.
You got got. All right.
Fair game. Did Hank just say prank war? Yeah, you're going to regret admitting that.
Prank war on. I love it.
I love it. What are you going to do about it? You're going to find out.
You're going to find out. Yeah, you'll see.
I'm fitna? Fitna. All right, PFT, what's your fire fest besides the fact that Hank's about to prank your ass? Yeah bachelorship advice? I'm a dead man.
What should I be prepared for? It's all older guys. It's my older brother and all his friends.
The biggest tip I always give is don't plan a dinner for Saturday night. That's the dumbest thing ever.
It's like a tranquilizer dart to your face. You drink all day Saturday.
It is. You drink all day Saturday and then you have this someone always plans this big steak dinner on Saturday night and everyone goes

and then there's just no party afterwards because it's like

holy shit. We drank all day then we ate

a big meal. Who wants to go out after that?

Don't over plan it.

I'm in charge of planning it and it's

you have not. It's

Fred's in the game. You guys are going tonight

someone will most likely get injured

tonight just so you know. Thursday night

is always the most dangerous night of a bachelor party

because everyone gets together. They all get

Thank you. Fred's in the game.
You guys are going tonight. Someone will most likely get injured tonight, just so you know.

Thursday night's always the most dangerous night of a bachelor party because everyone gets together.

They all get way, way, way, way, way too drunk.

Someone gets injured, just going to have to deal with that for the rest of the time.

Don't let it be you.

That's my biggest vice.

There's going to be one person that just kind of keeps the train going tomorrow morning

but overdoes it in the morning, and they'll be out by about noon.

You just have to let that person sleep it off. Don't be the injured guy.
All right. Don't be the injured guy.
All right. PFT, you're...
Also, combined with that, I'm missing Julian Edelman, which is devastating. It is devastating.
I'm just fire. I'm just fire weak.
He's a hero of yours. Personal hero, yeah.
Yeah, right. Savior.
King. PFT, you're a fire fest.
Well, I'm a dead man, because Hank's coming at me. Correct.
So I'm just going to have to live in hiding from this point. I'm going to be like Saddam Hussein in his little spider hole.
I'm terrified of Hank. An angry Hank is a dangerous Hank.
I don't know if I'm prepared to fend off these constant attacks. I'm not mad.
I'm just finna get even. What really scares me is how when Hank first said that he was going to come at me, it almost sounded like he already had a plan.
Oh. Like he knows what he's going to do.
I don't think he knows, but he will know. He will know eventually.
He'll come at you. So that's a pretty bad fire fest right there.
My other fire fest is I'm pre-tiring like Coach K again from rugby. This weekend is my last game that I'll ever play.
I'm hoping to not get injured, hoping to play 20 minutes, get off the field safe and safe and sound have a couple beers and make it back to New York intact on Sunday but it's my pre-tirement this is the last time I stepped foot on the pitch I love it alright my firefest is Gary Paulson died and that's my favorite author Hatchet was great please respect my time right now Hatchet one of the best books of all time. Going by the Hank book method, a long book.
A very long book. Over 180 pages.
Yep. If I remember correctly.
No illustrations either. No illustrations.
That was an all-time book that when you read it, you thought if I got dropped off by a plane in the Canadian wilderness next week, I'm surviving for like six months. Totally fine.
Greatest survival book of all time. What do you got, Hank? You say something? Oh, I thought you had a breaking moose.
Billy and Jake, wrap us up. Jake, go ahead.
So a few weeks ago, I got a birthday present in the form of AirPods because I thought I lost mine. I found mine and I went to go return it and it was 14 day return policy.
So I can get a gift card back, but not cash. Damn it.
So I just procrastinated. Gift card, though? You can get the gift card? Yeah.
Okay, well, so. I can pay for it.
Yeah. I need some new ones.
I need some new ones. No, they're the regular ones.
Okay. Damn.
I'm sorry. I apologize.
What's your price, Jake? I don't know. Face.
What are they offering? Face? No, he's got to go a little more, dude. You want me that.
A little more than face? Yeah. Do a little more than face.
You went all the way to the store. They're actually collector's items because they were owned by the Jake Marsh.
Yeah. Will you sign them? Not owned.
Will you sign them? I can. Okay.
Yeah. All right.
Yeah. That's my fire.
If you autograph the outside, I'll pay you face for them. I'll give you face.
I will give you face for them. Deal.
Okay. Billy.
So I was doing errands yesterday for the show, just picking up stuff for several projects. And these two homeless guys were fighting on the street.
And one of them, and I was walking past, and one of them threw a trash bag at the other one. And the trash bag kind of whizzed by me but like the trash juice got on me.
What? And the worst part is it got on my face and a little bit almost got into my mouth. Oh my God.
And then I started like spitting and like... You got a homeless facial.
Did you go, did you get into the fight? The homeless guy gave you a facial. No, this is the most fucked up part.
The homeless guy saw that I got shit on me, and both of them who were fighting a second ago started both laughing at me. Oh, no.
Jesus Christ. I was like, what the fuck? You should have fought them.
At that point, I was just going to Staples. I'm a little worried.
Sounds like you don't have war mode in you anymore. No, dude.
I just don't want to deal with two homeless dudes throwing trash at each other. Yeah.
You were a bystander, but I feel like you have to stand up for yourself. Collateral damage.
No, I just wanted to get out of there. You let another man put juice on your face? And then I had to go to the store, buy mouthwash to clean out my mouth.
So you did. You got juice.
It sounds like Billy got it on his face and he absentmindedly stuck his tongue out and

tasted it.

Yes.

Is that what happened?

And then you're like, oh fuck, why did I do that?

Yeah.

It just makes me want to keep thinking about it.

Yeah.

It's too bad.

It was bad.

It was disgusting.

You think it was piss?

I have no idea what was in that trash bag juice.

Piss, jizz, meth.

Tomato juice? Terrible. Piss, jizz, meth.
Tomato juice?

Terrible.

Any recap, Billy?

No.

Okay, that's fine.

That's totally fine.

That's totally fine.

I didn't ask that as a mean insult to ask.

That wasn't an insult question.

All right, numbers.

Give me eight.

Show me eight.

96.

18.

Six.

Kangaroos and whales are both mammals that can replace their own teeth. 72.
72. I feel like we've had that one before.
72. Just the one timer.
Oh, just the one timer. After the 47 thing the other day, it's like, I don't really get my juices flowing.

There's 47, then there's everybody else.

47's a blue blood.

He really is.

He really is.

Love you guys.

I just heard the news today.
