Okay, let's go. It's part of my take presented by Bristol Sports.
Welcome to part of my take presented by Barstool Sports.

Welcome to Part of My Take presented by Chevy Silverado,

the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever.

Today is Wednesday, October 13th.

Did anything happen during Monday Night Football?

It actually overshadowed the game for the first part.

Yeah.

And of course, we're talking about Major League Baseball playoffs.

Correct.

Red Sox, Team of Destiny.

I think they're going deep in Socktober.

They're going to the World Series.

See you next time. for the first part.
Yeah. And of course, we're talking about Major League Baseball playoffs.
Correct. Red Sox, Team of Destiny.
I think they're going deep in Socktober. They're going to the World Series.
They have something about them that is going to, I don't know what it is, but Hank is actually, right before we started taping. Oh, I forgot.
I'm not allowed to talk about private. He was looking at the schedule and being like, yeah, and being like, when can I go to a World Series game? Hank, you should do it.
You should. Well, I was just trying to figure out, I was trying to figure out who got home field advantage, who won the All-Star game this year, and figure out whether or not the Red Sox would be playing.
But yeah, the big story, it was basically, it was our John Lennon, Howard Cosell moment, where John Lennon gets killed, and Howard Cosell announces it over Monday Night Football. This generation has John Gruden resigning over Monday Night Football because of some emails that the phrasing that ESPN used was, I had to chuckle a little because they said John Gruden wrote emails that were homophobic, misogynistic, and racist, and also against roger goodell the four most persecuted classes in the world yeah women uh minorities gay people and the failed son of a senator that gets paid 40 million dollars a year nfl commissioners it's a protected class look it up big cat like what roger goodell when he saw like okay the first email got leaked on Friday.
And it was like, wait, we just found out that John Gruden sent racist emails. And Goodell's response was like, we will conduct a thorough investigation.
He also insulted Roger Goodell and called him gay. Fire that motherfucker right now.
Well, no. So the craziest thing with the timeline of this is the Raiders had all the emails on Friday.
It was very clear that the NFL was basically saying to the, I almost said Oakland Raiders, the Las Vegas Raiders, here is what John Gruden has in his emails. You should fire him right now.
And if you don't, we'll just release more emails on Monday. They didn't fire him.
And then more emails came out on Monday. Yeah, it was going to be waterboarding by bigotry.

The rate that they were going to leak him out at.

And you do have to wonder who leaked the emails.

It's either Roger Goodell or it's somebody in the Washington football team front office. Maybe some bad blood with the whole Jay Gruden, Dan Snyder, Bruce Allen thing, the way that

ended.

It's like a house of cards with the dumbest people involved.

Oh, no.

It's like succession if every character was Greg the Egg. Yes.
That's what happens in and around the Washington football team. As a fan ambassador, I can say that because it's about ourselves.
You can. But, yeah.
I'm shocked I haven't been fired from my position as a fan ambassador yet. I think you're just Milton from The Office.
Yeah. They're office space right now.
They haven't told me. They just don't realize that you're still a fan ambassador.
I had an idea when I saw these emails come out. Should we get Frank Caliendo back on the show to do a table read? He's, a lot of people were sad for Frank Caliendo, the real tragic figure in all of this.
And Nathan Peterman. Yeah, and Nathan Peterman.
He's like, come on, guys, can't we forgive and forget? I mean, it was 10 years ago. Keep brewing around, please.
Yeah, it also, I mean, it's not really shocking that John Gruden might not be like the nicest guy no i wasn't like whoa well how could this be it makes my little woke john gruden bit that i pulled out after the carl nasib thing age yes pretty poorly in retrospect very poorly yes but uh now we have interim head coach we i think pft you and i had the same exact thought pretty much the exact same time that mark davis should be the coach. Give us Mark Davis as the coach of the Raiders.
Yes. Why not? Al Davis did it.
His dad did it. He would be awesome.
You know, at the very least, the thought has occurred to Mark Davis. He's looking at a whistle that's on his wall right now, and he's like, I got the whistle right here.
I got the white jeans. I got the clipboard.
I got the haircut for it. I got the sunglasses.
Yep. Please, Mark.
It would be very disappointing if we didn't get at least one game with him. But you know that there's definitely one resume that's being sent out there right now.
Where? Who? Jeff Fisher. I don't know.
Well, there's that. I also don't think Dana Holgerson would turn down an opportunity to live in Las Vegas.
Oh, that would be pretty fun. That would be amazing.
Although Houston's rolling right now. Also, the big winner is Urban Meyer because people got off him for a second.
Even though he did have the quote that his goal every game is to run for 250 yards and pass for 250 yards, which – What's wrong with that? It's a great goal. It's good to have goals.
It's a great goal. It's happened 33 times in the last 52 years.
The perfect ratio is actually 15-15-30. I would think that Urban Meyer would know about that.
Yes, he absolutely. Although he seems like a selfish lover, so he probably just does the third.
Well, 15 grabbing ass. Yeah.
15 denying that you got grabbed ass. 30 apologizing for grabbing ass.
For not apologizing. Yes.
Did you guys see the watch Schefter live when he said that he hit for a clean sweep? Yeah. Did you hear this? Yeah.
I'll put this in. In which John Gruden had a clean sweep of offending NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, women, gays, minorities, all sorts of people.
He called it a clean sweep. Roger Goodell's the first name listed.
Number one. It's like, that's the best part about this.
They're like, yeah, gays, minorities, Roger Goodell. This is so terrible.
Yeah, Commissioner Lives Matter. Roger Goodell getting the first listing on that, on the clean sweep bingo card of John Gruden.
But ESPN is trying to get, you know, they want to be in good grace to the NFL. So it has been very apparent that's what they're trying to do.
You wonder how Adam Schefter gets Adam Schefter money, and it's for the little details like that,

making sure that he knows that he's going to be a good boy,

letting everyone know, yeah, please, I'll do your dance for you, Commissioner.

Just make sure to keep feeding me my treats.

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't just put, like,

gays, minorities, and women in parentheses.

Yeah.

Or maybe it's a quote, you know,

that would be funny if Schefter had done it as a thread, and, like, John Gruden has offended Roger Goodell, one of one, one of two, or one of two, two of two. Also, pretty much every other person on earth.
Oh, and also John Gruden in one of the emails forgot to put the accent on Quique Hernandez's name. Yes, yes.
So, big. Now, that story was actually kind of crazy crazy how it worked out because that story led the first three quarters of Monday Night Football, which was the Colts kicking the shit out of the Ravens.
And then when it was like everyone had processed it, the Ravens also processed it, woke up, Lamar Jackson was absolutely incredible, and the Colts are just – you know what I actually realized last night? I think what I hate about Carson Wentz is how he holds his elbows in the pocket. Go on.
So he's very chicken-boned. He's pointy.
Like he's doing the chicken dance, and it bothers me to no end. I'm sure it's like fundamentally, Billy, you can speak to it, fundamentally probably pretty good keeping the ball up, not letting it drop below your waist, but it's like this always.
He's stiff. And it bothers me.
For being a pretty athletic guy, he is pretty stiff in the pocket. It bothers me a lot.
Lamar Jackson, though, was unstoppable last night. So good.
Unstoppable. So here are a couple fun stats about Lamar.
Some of the records that he said, because he said like a million uh 442 passing yards that's a baltimore ravens record they've got a long history of great quarterbacks in baltimore obviously he was the first person history to throw for 400 yards and four touchdowns while completing 85 of his throws he completed 86 of his throws which is the highest all time for a player who passed for at least 400 yards. And the 86% mark was also the highest among any player who has ever attempted at least 40 passes in a game.
Damn. Pretty fucking good game.
Pretty good game. It is funny you bring up the passing of the Baltimore Ravens.
It reminds me of my favorite stat ever when the Ravens won the Super Bowl in the 2000 season. They went five consecutive games without scoring an offensive touchdown.
And they went two and three in those games, which is equally as crazy. I mean, it's just you can't.
Defense wins championships. It's crazy.
But, yes, that was an unbelievable performance by Lamar. Now, I will say the Colts secondary was very banged up.
They were kind of the walking wounded, but it doesn't really matter. The Ravens had that comeback.
Of course, we had another missed kick. They're all synced up.
It was perfect that Rodrigo Blankenship just ended. He actually, he did that on purpose for every kicker because then they brought up how many missed kicks were made.
And you're like, I don't even remember half of these missed kicks. I'll just put it all on Mason Crosby.
Well, and of course, we only got an opportunity to see Justin Tucker kick like a 25-yard field goal. He's really the one.
If he starts missing, then there's an issue. Then you have to look at either mercury and retrograde or look at the balls.
Look at the special K-balls. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes.
I don't know how those K-balls are stored. I know that they're the ones that they have their own protocol, right? Yes.
I think they're definitely more inflated, not scuffed up. Yeah, they're shinier.
Yep. Are they being kept in a different facility right now? That's a good question.
It's time to take a look at the balls. It's time to look at the K-balls.
Other things, real quick, in the NFL that we...

Well, I should say Marquise Hollywood Brown.

Yes, he's Hollywood.

He's Hollywood.

He's Hollywood.

His nickname is back.

He's Hollywood Brown until at least Friday.

We might take it away for the weekend, keep him motivated.

But he's earned the right to be Hollywood this week.

Yes, he is Hollywood.

Mark Andrews is also Hollywood.

Hollywood Andrews is what I call him.

But yeah, the Ravens, that was a crazy, crazy good performance from Amar. And the Ravens, I don't know, they're just always consistent.
They're just consistently always a dangerous team. It's a very well-run franchise.
I have one more question about the John Gruden thing. So do you think Deuce is going to stay around? I know it was reported that he's sticking around.
I think so. But can you really, I don't know, your dad leaves? No, I think you've got to stick around.
Deuce is probably the one. For the guy's nutrition.
Right. You can't leave the nutrition behind.
He cares too much about their bodies to leave them midseason? Imagine the gains that get lost if Deuce leaves. Yeah, that'd be bad.
He's got to stick around. I would definitely bet against the Raiders if Deuce left at this point.
I would also love to see Deuce in a dog shelter, like an NFL version of a dog shelter where someone comes and picks him up because he really is a pit bull on the sidelines. Yeah, I would be terrified if I were the interim coach that Deuce would just come in and kill me at some point out of vengeance for his father.
It's like Shakespearean. And his dad, John Gruden, was probably like, Deuce, I thought I told you to destroy all those emails.
Yeah. And he just had Deuce smashing computers in his room.
He was deadlifting on top of him. Putting the computer underneath, lifting up thousands of pounds, and then dropping it on the computer.
Dropping weights. He's like, yeah, that actually doesn't do anything.
Yeah. All right.
So, yeah. Oh, the other thing I wanted to say before we get to college football, the Bills, because that game was going on during the taping on Sunday night, the Bills are fucking awesome.
And the Chiefs might have some problems, but the Bills are awesome. Patrick Mahomes, this is now what? I'll just finish.
I'll just finish. I was going to say, Patrick Mahomes, the defense is terrible, but Patrick Mahomes has also not been incredible.
He's had incredible moments, but he hasn't been lights out Patrick Mahomes. Are people starting to sour on him? I'm definitely souring on Big Pat.
I'm not. No, I know.
I definitely am. A lot of people around the league, league circles, are saying the story out of Kansas City is that the Chiefs should trade Patrick Mahomes.
They're saying that a lot of willing partners out there, Washington football team would be one probably. That would be interesting.
But if I'm a Chiefs fan, man, I'll tell you, I'd run that guy out of town on a rail. I'd say, see you later, Patrick.
No thank you. By the way, did you see that the Bills credited

Mitch Trubisky for running Patrick Mahomes'

offense in practices

all week? His scout team, Mahomes. He's better

than Mahomes. Uh-huh.
Yeah. Gave him a look.

I saw PFT

had an issue with this earlier, so I want to bring it up

because I also was personally offended.

You put out your Big Cats 2

and 3 NFL Power Rankings.

It went Chiefs 1, San Francisco 49ers 2, Steelers 3, Seahawks 4, Vikings 5, Eagles 6, Patriots 7, Football Team 8, Falcons 9. It's a bullshit list.
Bullshit. Get your own list.
Bullshit. No, I'm arguing with your list.
Well, I'm just curious. Defend your list.
You know you were doing it for effect, right? No. You just come clean.
We're in the trust tree. Actually, probably the only mistake was I probably should have had the Washington football team above the Patriots.
You said yourself they kind of suck. They barely beat the Texans.
They could be 4-1 right now. Okay, and they aren't.
They're better than the Eagles. They would beat the Eagles, the Vikings, the Seahawks, and the Steelers tomorrow.
I don't know about that. Probably the 49ers.
Big cat, Geno Smith is the quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks. Big Ben is a corpse.
You guys shit on Kirk Cousins every single week. Jalen Hurts isn't trusted.
So we went from Sunday night to being like, I have to probably admit that the Patriots aren't good, to now they're the best team. I was close to possibly admitting it if they had lost, which they did not.
Got it. And? Well, good news is they can always climb the list.
Or, you know what? If they lose again, they'll be 2-4. They'll probably be better than some other 2-4 teams.
All right. I just wanted to.
I think that. I saw PFT mention something, too.
I had an internal thought. They're on their own list.
There are a couple issues with the list. Number one, I think, is the Philadelphia Eagles.
Yep. They're way overrated on that list.
They're third to last? Yeah. Fourth.
Fourth to last. Yeah, but they're ahead of my team, which I have a problem with.
Everyone does. And then obviously the Seattle Seahawks.
I think that with Geno Smith. We saw a little bit of Geno Magic.
I love Geno. I love Geno.
Also, I think Russell will eventually come back. And I love Geno.
So, that's where I ranked him. What are you going to do? I guess we'll see.
Yeah, that's why they play the games. Yeah, that's like everyone else.
They complain about it. They get very upset about my rankings, and that's fine.
That's the whole point of it is to get conversation going. So I appreciate you bringing it up.
We're just having a conversation. It gets the debate raging on a Tuesday.
And for some people asking, where does this team...

The rankings are just for teams that are below 500.

Maybe I'll add 500 later on in the year,

but it's a shine for the teams that suck.

I think that if the Giants had beaten the Washington football team

and they were 2-3 on the year,

you would have the Giants way higher.

You love the Giants.

That's my argument. I'm making up a hypothetical...
Yeah, you hate the Gi hate the giants i know i don't hate them i'm making up a hypothetical scenario yeah i i i have said that i i have a problem with daniel jones that i keep buying in yeah you hate the giants and won't admit that you hate the giants no i love the giants exactly that's a that's a false that's false i love the giant it's false. I'm honest about my bias.
I bet on the Giants.

I'm honest about my bias that Daniel

Jones fucks me up and I think that

he could actually be good even though he's probably

not. You should be biased about the fact

that you don't like the Giants. I love the

Giants. That makes no sense.
Why? Because

you don't. I love the Giants.
Okay.

I absolutely do. I think that the Giants

are a perfectly fine football team.

If the Giants have beat the Washington football team, yeah, they probably.

Well, I mean, we can't play ifs.

I mean, we've got to play the schedule.

You almost admitted it.

It's the two and three schedules.

It's two and three rankings.

Very biased.

It's sad.

Those are actually completely unbiased.

It's a computer ranking, and there's nothing you can do about it.

You can make your own, but you can't argue with it.

It's going to have to get above 500. I love that it made both of you mad because that's the point of the – Oh, I know.
Yeah, exactly. No, I know.
It's crazy. You just think, who can I get fired up? I wish you would.
He did it really well, too, because he knew that he couldn't put our two teams very last. He knew that he had to throw us a bone and put the Falcons.
But Big Cat absolutely knew what he was doing. He was like, I'm putting the Patriots in the football team.
Hey, above 500 over here. What do you want me to do? Except we got to play the Packers.
Whatever. All right, let's talk some college football.
All right, so chaos on Saturday. That Texas-Oklahoma game, I still don't really understand how Oklahoma covered that spread.
And Caleb Williams is like Oklahoma is so unfair that they have a backup who is better than their starter who's now going to be like the best quarterback in all of college football. And they're like, oh, yeah, let's just put this guy in.
Now we're in rumor swirling central, though, because you can tell that things are starting to get they're starting to bubble a little bit under the scenes when the DMs start to fill up with obviously fake scoops from people who are on campus in Oklahoma, being like, Spencer Rattler just quit. Spencer Rattler just threw a water cooler against the wall.
Spencer Rattler just drove away 100 miles an hour in his Corvette from practice. His NIL deal.
The team has been informed that he is banned from the facility. All these fake rumors, yeah, they're not true, any of them.
But there's smoke. I count that as smoke.
No, there's definitely smoke. We talked about it with Booger in a second, but it is very hard now for a program to keep two good quarterbacks on the roster for a period of time because you can transfer right away and guys want to play and you see it all across college football.
Did you guys see the Texas? I bullied them into tweeting. That was incredible that they – so Texas tweeted when it was a tie game 48-48, Texas football did.
They did not tweet a single thing for two straight days. It was like the person in the account actually died, which I appreciate.
Like I want my account to be a super fan like that. I wish they had gone all the way to kickoff of the next game to then just tweet, we're off and running in Austin, Texas, versus I think, I can't even know.
Who are they playing? Iowa State maybe? But I was like, hey, Texas hasn't tweeted yet. I'm putting on alerts.
Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State.
And then they tweeted right away. But I really do think an account, like instead of putting out the sad final, start just going dark, disappearing.
There's no rule that says that you have to tweet out, hey, we just lost. It's not in there.
I do wish that Apple would make an emoji for horns down. I feel like we're – although that – you know what that would be? That would be like warning this conversation can get intense.
Yes. Yes, John Clayton.
Once anybody tweets that out. So I would like to see that make its way into the ranks of the emojis.
As far as Texas goes, I feel like this was a statement lost for them, though. Texas should have won this game.
Well, the first three quarters of the game were like, I know we joke, but that was Texas being back. Yeah.
Like, Sark is incredible. They were running all over the place.
That was Texas back. Yeah, Texas was back, and then they took Spencer Rattler out, who, by the way, if Spencer Rattler does transfer somewhere, he can't transfer to Washington, Oregon.
He can't transfer to Michigan. He can't transfer to any school like that.
You have to use the name

that you have. You have to stay

hopefully in the Big 12 somewhere.

Texas Tech? Yeah, Texas

Tech would be perfect. Arizona would be

good. Arizona State? Yep.

That would work. Go somewhere cool.

Use the name. Yes.
I agree

with that. So that game was chaos

and then obviously you had

Iowa-Penn State which

Iowa football is

so glorious in like

Thank you. with that um so that game was chaos and then obviously you had iowa penn state which i iowa football is so glorious in like who they are and in there i mean iowa and wisconsin kind of not this year obviously but are very mirror image of who they are and they know what they do and they know what they do well iowa i don't think i've ever seen this before iowa wins that game.
They kneeled the ball and weren't able to run out the clock.

They kneeled the ball just so they could punt one more time.

I've never seen that.

They didn't try to get a first down.

They kneeled.

They went victory formation for a one final punt.

Their punter is incredible.

They run the ball.

They play defense.

They punt.

That's what they do.

And they're the number two team in the country. And guess what? If that makes you sick that Iowa's the number two team in the country, they're going to probably be the number two team in the country for the next month and a half until they get to Indianapolis against Ohio State or Michigan or Michigan State or Penn State.
Look, I threw them all in there. Do something about it if you don't like it.
So, Iowa is the first football team that I've ever watched where I can't take my eyes off the center. Yeah, no, he's incredible.
Their center kicks so much ass. He's going to be a first-round title.
Tyler Linderbaum. I'm giving you that name right now, and if you've watched any college football, you've probably known about him for a long time.
Stanford Steve has a borderline, like, I'm going to call the cops relationship with this guy. Yeah.
Like, he's so obsessed with him. Cole Kubelik, too.
He's got, like, videos playing above his fireplace of this guy all the time also shout out linder bomb shout out save receive real quick if you're looking for a ps5 uh hit up his instagram oh he let me know that he's got he's got some sneakers he's got shoes that he can send me he got hacked he got hacked oh you did okay sorry but if you need a ps5 he's been posting non-stop about how he's got PS5s for $4.50. He DMed me on Sunday from his account.
Let me do a dramatic reading. My peoples wanted to ask, would you be interested in being a model slash brand ambassador for blank, blank, blank in exchange for shoes? I texted him.
I was like, possibly. I was like, hey, I think you got hacked.
Oh, you're like, yes, free shoes. But if but if the shoes are real i'll take them yes um that would be great if the shoes were real hey peoples uh but yeah tyler linderbaum this dude he's going to be first round pick i i would take him as high as it gets like this i'm in love with watching i've never seen a center play where you can't take your eyes off him for the duration of the game and it helps that iowa runs iowa's offense correct so he's in the mix a lot you know correct but this dude just murders people he destroys people he's like he just smashes everyone and then their fullback is also he's also a bomb yeah he's a pot of bomb yeah so they've got pot of bomb and linder bomb and those two guys just go out there and they destroy people it's great i mean iowa football is what Iowa football is what it is.
And this is the apex of Iowa football. It's similar to 2015 when they went undefeated and lost to Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game.
But yeah, Iowa's a really, really good team. People will be mad about it because their offense is not great.
Is there good comparisons like Virginia basketball, like ugly but but they get it done? Yeah, although I don't think speaking, maybe Iowa fans will feel differently, but speaking as, again, the sister school or the twin of Iowa football in Wisconsin, it will never win a national title. Because there's a level that...
I said about Virginia. No, Virginia, though, was still...
They were number one in the country for... Yeah, they were one seed.
Yeah, and they were actually killing teams. I just don't know if that can ever translate when you play against an Alabama or...
If Georgia plays Iowa right now, I don't know if I... They wouldn't score.
They would score because they'd probably get a pick six, because they always do um but it wouldn't be more than seven to ten points yeah i i will also is it's unfair to compare them to uva because uva basketball doesn't really mean anywhere in the universe of like when you compare uva to charlottesville or uva to virginia compared with iowa football to Iowa, the state of iowa like that's it's night and day so like i have the tradition of football college football in iowa's is way way bigger than the college basketball tradition is in virginia and you know what penn state like they're still a good team that was unfortunate because i do think they win that game if they don't lose their starting quarterback sean clifford because there was there's times when you could say, oh, we lost the starting quarterback. We would have won the game if that didn't happen.
And you can be like, no, man, Iowa was going to steamroll you anyway eventually. They were going to get it going.
That one you can definitely point to the quarterback, considering the fact they had missed snaps, false starts, passes that were just to no one. But guess what? Don't apologize, Iowa.
Don't apologize. Do not apologize because it seems like a dream season in the making.
Do not apologize. I also am going to try to get a bet on the Barstool Sportsbook app, total punts between Iowa and Wisconsin when they play in two weeks.
I love it. I don't know if you can set that line high enough.
Can we do a bet like how they do the prop for the National Anthem, how long it's going to be, how long the wave to the kids is? I love the wave to the kids in the children's hospital that overlooks the field in Iowa. I actually, I'm going to admit it.
I pulled a Dan Campbell on Saturday. Yeah? You cried? I teared up.
You cried? I did. Were you drunk? It's a beautiful thing.
I was buzzed. It's a beautiful...
I mean, I just... Come on.
I just watched... Tony Soprano watching commercials.
I watched the Red River... I almost said the S word.
Nope. Can't say it.
The Red River rivalry. Yep.
And so, yeah, I was a little bit buzzed, but a little bit buzzed off football, too. It makes you feel all the emotions.
Yeah. No, it's great.
You're happy and you're sad at the same time, but then you're happy again. It's just a nice thing i like iowa football a lot especially this year i hope that i hope iowa gets

into the playoff picture well they're in the play well i'm saying like at the end of the sea i hope

yeah i only have a one game that they got to win the rest of their schedule they they are favored

in the rest of their schedule i do think wisconsin at wisconsin will be like they can't have a bad

game and at nebraska they can't have a bad game those are the two two teams where they're better

the schedule, I do think at Wisconsin, they can't have a bad game. And at Nebraska, they can't have a bad game.
Those are the two teams where they're better than the opponent, but if they have a bad day, I could see Wisconsin winning if they have a bad day in Nebraska. Have we got an update on the quarterback for Penn State? I do not know.
I do not know. It was one of those weird injuries where you couldn't really tell exactly what part of his body was broken afterwards.
And penn state still has everything in front of them and they win and the best part about the big 10 this year is there's a five-week stretch where all those teams from the east play each other so it starts with penn state plays at ohio state the same weekend michigan plays michigan state then they rotate and it ends with penn state at michigan state and ohio State at Michigan. So it will all get figured out.
We also had Alabama obviously lose the biggest story of the day. That was so 80 straight wins as double-digit favorites under Saban.
Obviously, everyone saw the stat 24-0 against former assistants. And the other crazy stat was Alabama had won 100 straight games against unranked opponents, dating all the way back to Nick Saban's first year when they lost to the University of Louisiana Monroe.
And one of his former disciples finally beat him. Yeah, 24-0.
That's what I said. It was 24-0, now it's 24-1.
24-1, Jimbo Fisher's the one. And then he said before the season that he predicted it.
Although, how many times has a coach predicted this is the year that I'm going to beat Nick Saban and then it doesn't happen? It's perfect because this is just enough for Jimbo to get the LSU job. Or an extension, again.
Yeah, one or the other. Get another extension.
Use one for the other, you know what I mean? One will... He'll either flirt with LSU and get that extension, or he'll flirt with the extension to get the LSU job.
I think we all learned a very valuable lesson this week, and that's just don't talk about how weird a place Texas A&M is, because then they swarm like hornets. We all know that Texas A&M is a very unusual place.
It's like a cult in the middle of nowhere. It's very strange.
Very scary. And that viral video of the yell leaders went around, and so everybody was roasting Texas A&M going into this game.
They circled the wagons on us big time. So let's all just agree to not talk about how weird of a place Texas A&M is.
I'd agree. I'd agree.
It was a crazy, crazy night. Zach Calzada, the Cuban Missile, which I love that nickname.
The video of the Kickers family reacting was great. Awesome.
That was great. And then Michigan obviously beat Nebraska, which was a big win because it felt like Jim Harbaugh needed one of those big road night, big 10 games.
Michigan won last Thursday. Houston's starting to roll.
Actually, that would be my last point. So Houston, if you're Cincinnati in our Kirk Herbstreet bet,

which is a reminder, I actually still like our side.

I don't know. I started

to get a little bit nervous for the first time.

But remember what the details are.

It has to be Cincinnati

will get into the college football

playoff over a one-loss Power

Five team.

So, one loss. It can't be two losses two losses it's it's void okay so let's basically just bam ohio state or penn state at this point or well no or or if georgia loses one yeah right now right now if bama beats georgia in the sec championship game guess what they're both going in and if georgia beats bama they're probably both still going in.
What about Michigan? Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon.

Hey, they're both going in. And if Georgia beats Bama, they're probably both still going in.
What about Michigan?

Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon.

Hank, this is how it works, though.

It's all rigged for the Power Fives.

If Georgia beats Alabama

in a SEC championship game

that goes down to the wire

and Georgia's undefeated

and Alabama has two losses,

I would feel a lot more confident

Thank you. In a SEC championship game that goes down to the wire, and Georgia's undefeated, and Alabama has two losses, I would feel a lot more confident on my side than Cincinnati's.
What about, okay, let's fast forward a couple weeks here. Cincinnati, if they stay undefeated at this point.
Their biggest tests are SMU and at Navy. And then Houston in the AAC championship game, if Houston keeps winning.
Okay, so they're going to stay undefeated at this point their biggest tests you have smu and at navy okay so then houston in the aac championship game if houston keeps winning okay so they're gonna stay undefeated i actually think that oklahoma i think that they're frauds but in maybe they're they might be the best frauds of all time they might just continue to win these games that they should lose well they're frauds but kale williams might fix it all they do have a tough road because they have to go to at Baylor and at Oklahoma State. Bedlam is going to be sick this year.
Actually going to suck, but yes. Why? Oklahoma State is all defense now.
They don't have any offense. Bedlam, weird shit happens.
Yeah, but it's not a traditional Oklahoma State team. Their defense is actually very good.
Weird shit happens in Stillwater at night. Yeah, but it's not going to be like back and forth points everywhere.
I would still rather have our side in this bet, but I'm starting to get a little bit nervous. Don't confuse it.
I think it's bullshit. I think Cincinnati, if they go undefeated, should be in.
That's not the bet. I'm not saying that Cincinnati isn't deserving.
They're absolutely deserving. I just know how the college football playoff works and the bias that happens.
Billy. Who can Georgia lose to, do you think? Well, they play Kentucky this weekend.
I think that's the game. If Kentucky beats them, then they're out.
If Kentucky beats them, Kentucky will go to the SEC championship game. And then if Kentucky beats Alabama in the SEC championship game, then Alabama and Kentucky are getting it.
Yes. Florida in two weeks in Jacksonville.
But Georgia is the one sure thing right now. And, of course, that means it probably won't happen.
But they are the one sure thing if you're looking across the whole landscape. All right.
Should we do some hot seat, cool throwing? You got something else, Billy? You got someone else? I'm just trying to think of any situation where coastal gets involved no no no no i just realized george has only given up yeah 33 points they've given up one one touchdown one offensive touchdown against a first team offense they gave up a touchdown to south carolina in in in garbage time this never happens 33 points again i think that they i want to see them play against an explosive offense, but they're obviously incredible.

Hank. My hot seat is Ben Simmons.
Oh, yes. Talk about Sunday scaries.
Oh, yes. I would say that that doesn't even begin to describe what's going on with Ben Simmons.
He tried to hold out. He tried to force his way out of Philadelphia, said he's not coming back, got Rich Paul on the case.
Rich Paul is just such a cool name for an agent. Didn't do anything.
They said they were in negotiations, yada, yada, yada. And then yesterday, Woj reported that Sixers all-star Ben Simmons has arrived in Philadelphia, took a COVID-19 test as required by NBA protocol.
Sources tell ESPN, meaning he's ready to come back, start playing preseason games and stuff. Awkward.
Later on, Woj reported again that the Sixers were unaware Simmons was flying into Philly today. The organization was in constant contact with Rich Paul, but Simmons simply showed up at the arena to take his COVID test prior to the Sixers' Nets tip, and that's when team officials knew he was intact.
Awkward. He went rogue, even though his agent, he was also talking to his agent, decided it was time to come back.
Turns out the strategy of being a team's least valuable player and also its most high-paid player and threatening to withhold your services isn't exactly the leverage that he thought it would be. It's incredible.
Someone should just sit Ben Simmons down and be like, Dude, when everyone else holds out or demands a trade, that's because they're really, really good and everyone's really, really bad around them. This is the opposite.
Yeah, you're the bad one. I think his strategy was just that he's seen other players hold out before and he was like, I want to do that.
Right. Either that or maybe it was just this strategy is so dumb and unusual and totally backwards that maybe it'll confuse them too.
Someone will just be like, okay, fine. It's the duck season, rabbit season with Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny.
Yes. That's what he was trying to pull.
Backfired on him big time. Big time.
I love going to a good boo fest, like when the Patriots win the Super Bowl and Goodell comes to give the trophies. Well.
Going to the Sixers' first game, I might have to figure out, talk to Tick Pick and get out there. But Philly fans won't boo him.
They'll be booing Hank. It's going to be amazing.
It's so perfect that it's Philly. It's going to be amazing.
Because if this had happened in Miami, no offense, Jake, or I don't know, Phoenix, no offense, Phoenix, Sacramento, probably would have been like, you know what, this guy's good. He's better than what we like what we usually have so let's welcome him back philly philly's going to roast because they had to defend him yes and then once he was like i'm out they're like all right you know what fuck you ben simmons fuck you and then now it's like the classic thing where it's like your girlfriend's dating a girl for a long time you don't like her they break up and you're like yeah she was a total bitch and then like two weeks later he to be like, uh.
I always like her. That's great.
Yeah, good for you. I'm happy for you guys.
Hey, do you think that you're more popular in Philadelphia than Ben Simmons is? Likeability rating. Yeah.
Huge comparison. Absolutely.
For sure. Yeah? Yes.
Do you think he's getting bad? Are his DMs worse than your DMs from Philly people? Yes. Yes.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Absolutely. Yeah.
You should be. The right thing to do would be for you to go.
I think I'm going to show up

in a bench. Yeah, I know.
That's what I'm saying.

Be a human shield for him.

And your cool throne?

My cool throne is these. Pardon my take

flags. Oh, nice.
Okay, cool.

You guys seen these? Yeah, those are real nice. Hear about these?

What about the hats? Are the hats out?

The hats, I don't know if they're out. These hats are

one of the best hats we've made. We have a bunch of them.
Big cats's wearing a different one. We have some goldfish hats.
Some sick merch, though. The flags are definitely going to be on sale when you're listening to this.
We've got a bunch of different colors. Tailgate, man cave, put it on your car, hang it in your front yard.
Don't put it on your windshield of your car. Don't put on your windshield But maybe, you know, who knows Maybe on the back

Yeah

You know what those flags look sick?

When you put them, like, on a balcony

Over, like, outside your house

Yes

Upstairs balcony

You drape the flag over

Especially if you have, like

Let everyone know

If you've got a cabin or a beach house

If you want a pull check, it's just, like, right above your bed

Yes

And then you walk, girl walks in

Say less Yes That's what you walk, girl walks in.

Say less.

Yes.

Can you make... That's what she says when she walks in.

Can you make a...

Can you throw a part of my take?

Oh, shit.

Say less.

I didn't know.

Can you make a reflective flag?

Like make a mirror out of a flag?

That would be sick.

Oh, saying a mirror above your bed?

Yeah.

Yeah.

With a flag.

Because he's getting freaky.

I'm just...

Well, I'm trying...

He's trying to get freaky honest.

It's kind of like Big Cat's gift shirt idea. does the material exist to turn a flag into also a mirror think about it science get back to me uh it would be funny if they if you like bring a chick back and and the flags there and they're like do you think billy's podcasting voice sucks too like that's the conversation that person really hurt billy's feelings he's been down and out since then well actually no that was more the dave and busters video that's coming out that's what put him wait didn't they like my voice oh they did did they it was me oh they didn't like hank yeah so you've been more down and out about the dave and busters thing that's coming out it's where games jake just beat you.
Billy, before we started taping, was suggesting that maybe we have him and Jake do some more competition. He's already angling three matches.
I hope we never put out this video just so I can keep referencing it. It was a fun time.
I'll tell you. You almost killed yourself jumping out of a cap.
Okay. It was a stunt.
I was practicing. Drop and roll.
I want to be a stuntman. BFT, your hot seat, Cool Throne? Yeah.
My hot seat is the Houston Astros. The Astros are back on the hot seat because you'll never guess this, Big Cat, but they're being accused of cheating in the playoffs.
But Dusty Baker is now in charge. So Dusty Baker is not going to sit idly by and let Tony La Russa declare him a cheater.
Correct. He said these are heavy accusations when you make these about the Houston Astros.
And if you look at the stats, he says that the White Sox have the same runs, OPS, and everything as we have. Well, actually, we're better on the road than we are at home.
And I think they're actually better at home than they are on the road. So Dusty pulled an old school move, which is just flipping it on him and being like, you're saying we're cheating? Actually, you're cheating.
You're the cheater. You're the one who's cheating.
And before I came to the ballpark, I was listening to Eric Clapton, and he had a song, Before You Accused Me, Take a Look at Yourself. You know what I mean? That's all I got to say.
I doubt that Dusty was actually listening to eric clapton that morning it's more of a rhetorical device to be like instead of me saying it i'll invoke the name of someone more famous yes who has said eric clapton eric clapton in this case and so he's pointing all the fingers back at tony la russa this is just leading us closer and closer to hopefully an on-field incident between dusty baker and tony la russo where they duke it it out like men. Eric Clapton, John Gruden's favorite guitarist.
Fact. Yes.
What's that, Billy? John Gruden also likes Black Flags. No quarter.
Did you mean to put the L in that last word? No. Okay.
Oh. Oh, wow.
I'm actually very confused right now. Yeah.
You want yourself into that one. Listen to this back.
Yeah, you're going to get in a minute. It's going to suck when you figure it out.
Fuck. Okay.
My cool throne is being golf tough. Being golf tough is on the cool throne.
Okay. Because J.R.
Smith, everyone's favorite collegiate golfer, was competing in an event today,

and he stepped on a beehive while he was playing.

The bees attacked him.

They swarmed him.

He got stung all over his legs.

There were yellow jackets, allegedly.

But J.R. Smith is golf tough, and he continued his round.

Had a couple, I think, maybe a birdie.

A lot of pars.

A couple bogeys mixed it in, but still was able to compete and finish. It could have been a tragedy.
But J.R. Smith, fortunately, is an all-around great athlete.
So, golfers, congrats. You are tough.
You are tough now that J.R. Smith is one of you.
Golf hardos on the internet are probably the biggest group of hardos. And there's people being like, oh, J.R.
Smith sucks because he's like 18 over. And he is playing d1 golf and it's his and he's playing he's playing yeah for like he's taking it serious for the first time like ever and he got stung by bees wait 90 that's incredible that's really good for like hank and i but like i feel like d1 golfers oh you're a golf ardo what do you mean yeah you just did that you just did what hank was saying.
I think it was like 83-78 in his first two rounds. But it was like 18 over the course.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's incredible.
It's good golf scores. I'll take a 90.
Yeah, but you're saying that that's terrible for him. It wasn't a 90.
It was better than a 90. Yeah, it probably is.
I think Hank just invented the 90. Because I'm pretty sure that he can.
No, I said 90. Well, he said 18 over.
So I said 90. But over the course of the two tournaments.
Yeah, yeah yeah so he shot in the 70s and then he shot in the 80s got it and he got stung by 90s incredible i can't i would kill for 90 if i get stung by bees i go home and lay down for the rest of the day these are the worst jake go to the hospital if you got stung by b are you allergic jake yes not that i know of you never been stung i think i've I've gotten stung by one before. You definitely haven't gotten stung if you still think it's like got bit by a bee.
Yeah, I don't know. Doesn't smoke make bees docile, though? I think so.
Jarrah Smith. Just smoke them out.
Hey, bees, you want the pipe? Yep. No, that was a different pipe.
Yeah. Yeah.
Not the smoking pipe. Hank, are you looking it up? Yeah, it was an 83 and then a 78.
I don't know what he shot today. But that's 12 over and 7 over.
Got it. Pretty good.
I would take the 90. I'd take the 90.
Those are really good scores, and there's golf hardwaves being like, J.R. Smith shouldn't even be out there competing.
He's only competing because of his name and shit. No, I'm rooting for J.R.
Smith. All right, my hot seat is all of us because we're living in a complete simulation.
If you have missed anything, our colleague White Sox Dave, friend of mine for a very long time, diehard White Sox fan, he's basically owned, outside of John Gruden, owned the internet the last couple days because he went up to John Cusack outside of the White Sox game three and accused John Cusack of rooting for both the Cubs and the White Sox, which he does, which is bullshit. White Sox Dave then got...
And this was something that... So this is something that White Sox Dave had been saying online for years.
He's got a banned list. So when he saw John Cusack, he took the opportunity to go tell him what he's been saying online for a long time.
And the story, too, is John Cusack, he will call up and ask for the best possible tickets whenever either team is in the playoffs. And it's like, you can't do that.
I agree with this premise, by the way. If you are a diehard fan of one team from your hometown, you can't be a diehard fan of the equal and opposite team from that hometown.
Right. You don't see Mets-Yankees fans walking around.
That just doesn't exist. What are you going to say, Billy? You can kind of root for the Giants if you're a Jet fan.
No, you can't. No.
But, like, if it's an out-of-league game. No, I don't think.
Like, when the Giants were playing the Washington football team, I could kind of be like, okay, I'll root for the Giants. But even that is like You just can't wear the gear.
That's not being a fan. I have a game-to-game switch that I put on.
Like, if I'm watching a team on national television, even before I started gambling on football, I'd be watching a game and I'd be like, yeah, you know what? I hope the Cardinals win this game. You know? You develop mini crushes on teams.
Right. The perfect example, Saturday night, if you're Vol, don't listen to the next thing I'm about to say.
Saturday night, Vol for Life, because I won two national championships at Tennessee. Oh, that's awesome.
Yeah. Thanks, Peyton.
I'll be wearing a Tennessee sweatshirt. I'm not a Tennessee fan.
Like, I'm not. It doesn't.
You know what I mean? Like, I'm not walking away from it being like, win or lose, oh, fuck. You want certain teams to win games.

Yeah, that game.

It doesn't affect me.

If Wisconsin plays Tennessee, there's not a question.

Yeah, if you're John Cusack and you grew up in Chicago.

He grew up in Chicago, right?

So he grew up, I don't know, bleeding the Sears Tower and nutting mustard.

He's a guy that should only be able to pick one of those two teams.

Correct.

Correct.

And he picked both. And then after the interaction, so the video went viral, or like viral-ish in the Barstool world, but it actually kind of took on a life of its own.
John Cusack, after the game, which the White Sox won, this was after we recorded. So I was keeping up on this as I was editing, and John Cusack probably sent, I don't know, 40 tweets, just going at White Sox Dave.
24 hours of just tweeting nonstop. Yeah, just like, just, he was heated.
There was people taking his side, people against him, and he was just replying to them all. Colin, what do you call White Sox Dave? A foul little boy.
Foul little boy. His insults for White Sox Dave were like on brand and just so funny.
He also used the phrase. He said he had like shitty breath.
He also used the phrase self-phone, which really confused everything. Yeah, it wasn't cell phone, and it wasn't self-own.
It was self-phone. I was going to say, me and Hank, as both bad grammar guys, I couldn't read half of his tweets.
The way that he types is unbelievable. And I love High Fidelity as a movie, so I just want to say that.
Separate the art from the artist. The art, fuck him.
The artist, or sorry, the artist, fuck him. The art, great.
Another thing where it's like the people on the internet are way too harsh. There's people being like John Cusack's a nobody.
He hasn't been a good actor. He's in awesome movies.
If you fancied yourself an actor and you had his career, you had a successful career. I'll put it this way.
The man was in Con Air. Right, yes.
Best movie ever made. Yes.
So anyway so anyway all of us we're all in a simulation because not only is john cusack fighting with white socks dave now edward snowden has has chimed in and i'm scared for all of our lives and the whole thing is just so hilariously barstool and ridiculous like there's people who are actually mad at white socks dave and saying that we're you know he's a mouth breather and all this shit it's like dude it's a banned list vanna white is on the list because they had an insult question on uh wheel of fortune vanna white doesn't make the questions he put vanna white he has the weather on there he banned someone both in this life and the afterlife if you read that list and you think it's real like you think it's actually like this guy's actually telling people they can't root for the White Sox, your brain is rotted. And I guess John Cusack is in that case.
Domino's Pizza. Domino's Pizza.
But in the case of John Cusack, I think... Because they didn't deliver a pizza to a girl that White Sox Dave, like, that's what the list is.
In the case of John Cusack, I actually think that White Sox Dave is trying to say you're not allowed to root for both teams, which I agree with, by the way. But it's also John Cusack also knew who White Sox Dave was.
You could see it when he walked up and was like, you're on my band list. He knew.
He knew right away. John Cusack, I think he spends a lot of time online.
A lot. I was blocked by John Cusack when I looked on Sunday night.
I think that he blocked everybody that White Sox Dave follows. Interesting.
I'm still, I still got access. Yeah.
He also tagged the tag teaming, like the fact that it was him and Patricia Arquette. Oh, it was incredible.
It was like his partner. The whole thing makes no sense and it's absurd and it's fantastic.
I tried to correct Patricia Arquette's grammar because she used the wrong your, which is a big pet peeve of mine. Right.
And so I replied to her and and then she wrote back, yes, thank you for pointing that out. Dyslexia is in my bio.
Oh, no. Tried to dyslexia.
You got ableist. She tried to dyslexia shame me.
I felt bad for a second. I clicked on her bio.
She doesn't have dyslexic in her bio. Oh, she got you.
She got you. She rickrolled you.
She did. Well, you can't.
I think that she's appropriating dyslexic culture by telling people she's dyslexic when the rules clearly state that you have to say that you're dyslexic in your bio. Yes.
I saw a tweet, Big Cat. Do you know if, is he really going on Rogan? Who? White Sox Dave.
No. All right.
That's what I, well, she, uh, Carl said, I don't, listen, we're, you're talking about how we're living in a simulation. I didn't believe it, but also when I saw it, I had to weigh out the options.
They're talking about... Once Edward Snowden gets involved...
That's true. Rogan becomes a lot more believable.
You're right. You're right.
I'm on whatever side Edward Snowden's on. Yeah.
You're actually right that that then does change it a little bit. But no, that would really be the end of times.
White Sox team is getting interviewed on Joe Rogan. All right, my cool throne is Brian Laundrie for now because Dog has an injured ankle.
Just one or both sprained? Maybe both. Very, very severe sprain.
Almost a break. What? I was going to put him on my hot seat oh who dog no no brian laundry's temporarily cool it's all how you frame the story nah dude what do you mean i think that was kind of chicken shit okay cut his mic jake what's your hot seat cool throat my hot seat is chipper jones yeah sitting behind the plate in the braves brewers game and just dropped a foul ball.
So, yeah, past his prime, I guess. Yes.

And then my cool throne. I like the Braves, by the way.
Yeah? I think I'm rooting. I have a little crush on the Braves.
Got it. This postseason.
I'm just still rooting for Chris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber, and Jock Peterson's back. My cool throne.
Jocktober. Yeah.
Is Zach Hample. Yes.
You guys call him foul ball guy, but last night he is home run guy. Double.
Double. Two home runs caught in the game.
He tweeted out the stat. The seventh time he snagged two or more home run balls during one MLB game.
He got three once in 2018. Fenway is the 18th different stadium in which he's gotten a home run.
Also, first postseason ball he's ever caught. Oh, was it? Yeah.
So, did Zach tweet that out? Two of them. He did, yes.
Okay, yeah. I was about to say, a lot of people would be like, hey, Zach, that's not a real stat.
You're just making this up. You could say anything.
No, no. When it's Zach Hample and the meticulous records that he keeps of his foul balls.
The real numbers. Those are the official.
He's basically Elias Sports Bureau for people that have caught balls at Major League Baseball. I love how he wears the neon, too, so you know it's him.
Oh, that's a coincidence. He doesn't do that for the attention.
The Rays' home run was hit directly at him. He didn't have to move.
Yesterday, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, right to him. It was crazy.
And then the other one, the Red Sox, you just saw him moving with the neon across the screen. So good for him.
Yeah, good for him. Billy, would you like to try again? You have weird allegiances.
You think that, what, justice, the law, is a weird allegiance? Never mind. What? We won't talk about that anymore.
No, what? My cool thing. Dog? Well, go ahead.
I think it's kind of chicken shit he pulled out. He got injured.
He can barely walk. He can walk.
No. There's pictures of him without a brace or anything.
No, I saw that. How do you know when those pictures were taken? You don't know.
Look, I'm just saying, I think he just ran out of money searching. I saw a picture and it looked like Saquon Barkley's ankle.
Don't make me drop this bit, Billy, please. You know what I said? You know, Rosillo's been texting me.
He actually hates Dog, and he was like, I think

he's doing it all for clout. And I was like, no way,

dude. How are people...

I don't want to have to drop this, please.

Okay. Dog's going to find him.

That's what he does.

Dog hunts people. I actually think

it's a possibility that Dog went down

to Florida, found him, and then

choked him out, strangled him, put him in the swamp. garden he's a swamp no no no no no listen he put him in the swamp people think that brian laundry's living in a bunker in his parents garden yeah okay but that is that in florida yes okay whatever happened dog showed up found the kid choked him to death uh-huh sprained his ankle during the melee him.
But Dog got the best of him, threw him into the swamp. He's gator food now.
Now Dog leaves town. He's like, sorry, got an amscray.
Got a little tweaked ankle. You know how it goes, bro.
And so everyone's like, yeah, we get it, Dog. I guess you're kind of a pussy now.
And meanwhile, Dog doesn't even have to tell everybody, but he gets to live the rest of his life knowing that justice has been served. He took the handkerchief off of Brian Laundrie's body, and he sniffs it every now and then just to get that high of killing a man.
Yep. So don't make us drop this.
I got really excited. If he goes back, he's back on the bulldog.
Oh, he'll be back, bro. If he goes back, if he's just taking a break.
He'll be back. But if he...
When his ankle gets better, and it might take a few years, he'll be back. And guess what? If Brian Laundrie gets caught right now, it's because Dog smoked him out.
So that's an assist. Fact.
Cool Throne Nepotisms, Iyer Wade, signed with the Salt Lake City Stars, who are his father's G League affiliate team. Oh, nice.
That's quite a coincidence. That's crazy that they scouted all those players and that

Dwayne Wade's son was the one.

Yeah, come on.

He's probably pretty good. Yeah, he's nasty.

He's gonna, like,

you can't, he's not gonna nepotism

his way to the NBA. That would be like saying, like,

Jack Collinsworth got his job because he's

Chris Collinsworth's son, not because he's

sick at his fucking job. That's not a

physically act, like, you don't have to physically

perform every weekend. No, Jack Collinsworth

is, like, one of the best five broadcasters

Thank you. He's Chris Collinsworth's son, not because he's sick at his fucking job.
That's not a physically act. You don't have to physically perform every weekend.
No, Jack Collinsworth is one of the best five broadcasters in America. Right.
That's just pure talent. Also, Cool Throne rule changes.
Deuce Gruden got his job on pure talent, too. Don't you think about that? He's a powerlifting champion.
I feel like this room is turning on me and PFT. I don't like it.
He's a powerlifting champion. First you come for Dog.
Now you come for Deuce Gruden. Deuce is a powerlifting champion.
This is bullshit. Belarus.
If it wasn't for nepotism, we never would have caught Saddam Hussein. Fact.
That is a fact. Nepotism contributes many great things.
Jesus Christ was a great example of nepotism. Oh, he just happened to be God's son.
Oh, you think he became savior based on his merits? Yeah, he actually did, and also nepotism. Okay, carry on.
I'm good. You sure, bro? You want to go with Christ real quick? Maybe? I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel.
You want to go with Christ real quick? You want me? You go with Christ. Do you want me to do another one? Smoke ice? So in the Atlantic League league they're putting in a new rule change i just had a great idea by the way for an alternate broadcast to

the manning cast it's jay and john gruden and deuce oh and they're just they're just watching

chapelle's show and laughing a little too hard yeah laughing yeah also fuck espn they're just

pretending like he was an employee there for like 10 years that is true that is true he was I just wanted to throw that out there.

I wanted to start, though, with a question.
I saw we were watching Monday Night Football, Colts versus Ravens. Can you talk me through the green suit that you wore? Because it was an interesting suit.
So you pulled that off, but it was an interesting suit. Well, first and foremost, let's define interesting.
I've never known you to mention a word, so go ahead and say what you really want to say. It was somewhere between a Masters champion and also the guy who valets the cars at Augusta.
I couldn't figure out which one. Well, I prefer Masters champion, but I only want to get that when I actually win the Masters.
And since I'm a golfer, that is sacred and that is a very hollow statement. So I appreciate that you would even go there.
Never, ever confuse me with a valet driver of any sort, whether it is one that's wearing a black jacket or a green jacket. I wouldn't expect you to know fashion.
OK, so last night was really about fashion and about me being able to make a statement. Sure, I could continue to wear your normal gray, black, brown suit.
But listen, who wants to watch that? Who wants to look on the screen and see a nice looking brother in a suit that just blends into the set? Sometimes you try to make a fashion statement and let America know that, guess what? Boog's got low fashion, too. I've graduated from the guy that used to wear 34 Huskies in the fifth grade.
Okay? So things are a little different now. Okay.
All right. So that's fair.
I mean, I like the bold choice because, you know what? I'm talking about it right now. It was a memorable thing.
When they went to halftime, I was like, whoa, Booger went for it. He for it he went for booger can pull it off i would like to see adam schefter show up in like an orange suit one time you think he even has that in his closet you think he's got anything he probably just has one suit and it's the same suit just like 10 different pairs of it i i would agree i think schefter probably has 54 blue and black suits and he just kind of mixes them up and when he wants to spice it up he goes with a little gray yeah sometimes like a funky red tie yes my tie has a stripe on it yes allow the tie to accentuate everything tie in the pocket square yeah all right so so let's talk NFL first and we'll do some college football um the big story coming out of week five in terms of uh teams here are the Kansas City Chiefs broken and what's your level of concern on how bad they are defense and can they put this back together are they broken yes they're broken right now is it fixable yes is it gonna take a while absolutely so let's kind of break that down a little bit I think the quarterback's not playing well and we can make excuses for but the bottom line is, you know, he's a half a billion dollar quarterback who's not taking care of the football.
He's already thrown as many interceptions this year as he did all of last year, so I think he's got to take care and value the ball a little bit better. I think he's become a little bit enamored with some of the magical things that we've seen him do, i.e.
the no-look passes, leaving the pocket pocket, throw it off of one foot. Sometimes the simplest thing to do is just to look at the guy and throw it to him.
And I think Patrick Mahomes, and he'll tell you himself, he's falling victim to the da-da-da, da-da-da, that type of play. And so he's got to get back to just playing good, solid football.
Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, those guys are two of the best at their position. I think they'll fine they put a lot of money in this offensive line the offensive line will be really really cool uh I think they'll be fine their defense is absolutely poo poo so yeah okay yeah let me ask you a quick follow-up on their defense because I should have said this to begin with I'm always that's a bad job of interviewing by you yeah no no you should have asked one question and then set up the next question.
Well, no, that's not why I did that because I respect you, Booger. I know you can hold two thoughts in your head at the same time.
So that was a good initial question. It didn't go in enough detail in this respect.
You were part of a defense, the 2006 Indianapolis Colts. Unfortunately, they beat my Bears in the Super Bowl.
But you were part of a defense that all regular season was bad. You guys were not a good defense, and then you, towards the end of the season, figured it out, put it together, played good enough defense to win the Super Bowl.
Is that something that can be replicated, or is it like that was a once in a million, you know, the defense it needed everything to get better and then it got better all of a sudden or can like can the Chiefs do that I don't think they can but can they someone who's actually seen it firsthand a team kind of flip the switch defensively well I give them a better opportunity than we did so we didn't really change a lot once I got traded to Indianapolis that was kind of the personnel that we had. And we just had to get better.
You know, people would often ask Tony Dungy, hey, what are you going to do to fix the defense? And he said, he simply said, hey, nothing. Guys got to do their job.
Like we're professionals. Guys got to go out and actually do their job better.
And, you know, thankful for the people in Indianapolis, we did that. Defensive football, Big Cat, is not necessarily about like X's and O's.
Playing defense is about hustle. It's about effort.
And it's about hitting people. Like as long as 11 people are doing that, we can stop people.
It really doesn't matter from a scheme standpoint, having a great scheme. It's about relentless effort and applying to the ball.
Prime example, look at the Cowboys. What's really different with the Cowboys this year other than Micah Parsons? It's the same dudes.
Like, it's the same guys. You change the coordinator, and all Dan Quinn has done is really simple.
Hey, guys, we're going to play with relentless effort, okay? Run to the ball, hit somebody, make something happen, and play to the whistle, i.e. let's everybody do their job.
job now you bring it back to the chiefs i think they can do it and do it at a higher level because if you look at the other night chris jones in play frank clark is coming off of an injury they're missing i think it's trevarius ward one of the corners so all their pieces are not there yet and so when all their pieces get back spagnolo is always going to be a risk taker on defense so they're never going to be the baltimore ravens or the buccaneers they're going to be a team that gives up some plays but they're going to make some also the problem is right now they're not making any plays uh you know turnovers uh pick sixes sacks they're not doing it like they only have like six sacks on the year that's terrible when you have two guys that are making 20 million $20 million up front in Frank Clark and Chris Jones. So I think they can get it done.
It's going to take a while. First and foremost, they got to get healthy.
If they do that, I do think that they can make a run. But they are a bad football team right now.
Yeah, on the defensive side, it's interesting that Big Kep brought up that Colts team because they had a safety, Bob Sanders, right, that flipped that switch. He's similar to the Honey Badger in a lot of ways in that they're always around the football.
I think Tyree Matthew, he's faster, I think, overall. He's better in coverage, but they still had that knack for getting to the football, causing a lot of fumbles, picking up a fumble, taking it back.
There are elements that definitely match up with those two teams. And as far as Patrick Mahomes goes, I think what you're touching on, we've been saying this, we've kind of been squatting on this take for the last two years.
He gets too cute with it sometimes. Sometimes too cute.
I love that saying that he gets too cute. And so he needs to just, you're saying he needs to just go back to fundamentals, lock in on a receiver, go through your progressions, just play quarterback like a normal way.
And I actually think that the Chiefs will be fine by the end of the year. They'll manage to figure all this stuff out that we're talking about.
And they'll probably end up as, you know, a three seed in the playoffs or something like that. I just think that he's too good to go the entire year committing all these turnovers and running these issues.
Well, I completely agree. It's kind of like Big Cat.
You know, he goes on these diets sometimes. But he's like his level of fat in his body is just too high for him to stay on it.
Like, it will never last. At some point, he's going to Big Cat, and he's going to continue to – I don't know whether it's the donuts or it's the double cheeseburgers or what it is, but he can go on a diet for six days.
That seventh day, he's going to intake so many calories that his body is just going to start rejecting some of them. Water always finds its level.
You know what it is? There you go. There you go.
During a season, during a football season, when you played in the NFL, like your body gets banged up during the season. Guys go through injuries.
You're hurt, not injured. During the football season, I am constantly, you know, battling week to to week trying to make it through the weeks and sometimes you know it falls apart that's i'm no different than than a guy who has two super bowl rings we're the same booger oh we there's nothing about us except we both have two arms and two legs that's the same other than that that is it my friend no we're the same we're the same uh book i i have a question for you because i randomly i got youtube algorithm last week where they just like force a video down my throat and the one that popped up was the old monday night football game of the colts and the bucks the one where you were on the bucks at the time and the colts got out to that or the colts had a massive deficit the fourth quarter i think was the biggest fourth quarter comeback in the history of Monday Night Football.
And it went to overtime. They had that missed field goal followed up by the doink that went in with Vanderjack.
You were on that field goal block team when they called, was it Simeon Rice for leaping? Yeah, I think so, yeah. Do you remember going back and watching? Do you know what the refs called in that game? Is that an actual penalty to jump in the air? No, I don't think the penalty.
First of all, thanks for bringing that up. I somehow forgot about all that.
All-time bad defensive performance. Yeah, I wouldn't quite go that far.
All-time choke job. Yeah, okay.
I can think of a couple more. Well, okay.
I'm not even going to go there. I've never choked that bad on Monday Night Football.
Okay. Hey, I get your point, all right? Yep.
It's one of those calls, man, where I think when they called it in the moment, we were like, huh, what? Is that a penalty? And then when you go back and you open the rule book and you turn to page 179 and you look under dash four, there it is. Like one of those rules nobody ever knows nobody ever looks up and it's very similar to the double punt the other night remember uh i forget what game that was was it thursday night football where there was a double punt and nobody knew the rules yep very similar to that yeah that was it was just kind of an embarrassing moment for you personally i would have to imagine.
How much were you guys up by? I think we were up 31. Maybe it was 35 or 31.
It was like 35-3, 31-3, something like that. Wow.
And you lost? Well, Peyton Manning was on the other side. Okay.
Can I talk quarterbacks real quick? Absolutely. So let's take out Brady.
Let's let's take out Mahomes Rogers and say Josh Allen who's who's the quarterback you think is playing the best right this second that you take on your team Justin Herbert there it is yeah I don't think it's close and I said this the other day guys and you tell me if you guys buy into this. I think we were all victims of that, of his personality coming out.
Remember when he came out of the draft, everyone said, well, he wasn't a captain. He wasn't a leader.
He was kind of an introvert. He didn't talk a lot.
He wanted to go back to Eugene and play another year. Because remember, he didn't come out early.
He had the chance to come out early, but he went back to school. And so we paid so much attention to his personality that we overlooked his talent.
And the Miami Dolphins did so much that they took Tua in front of him. How about them apples? For me, it was the hair.
When they cut his hair, I was like, he's lost all his powers. And then he spent the last year growing it back out.
It's nice and shaggy.

It's not too long like Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, but it's a good point, Booker, because it's crazy when you look at quarterbacks, and if they stay longer, it's just more time to tear them down in a weird way, whereas when the potential is there and they come out after three years, it's like, well, we can fix everything and everything looks great I remember people were saying that because he uh played high school football in the shadows of Autzen Stadium in Eugene Oregon and then went to Oregon the guys never traveled anywhere in his life and that was a knock against him like that so like when you have more time you break it down but he's been he's been incredible.
So that Chiefs-Chargers game, we were talking about it on Sunday. I think the Chargers-Browns game.
I think the Chargers defense and the Browns defense are both very good. Is there something to be said for a game that just gets out of control where you can't judge their defense going forward on that one game where shit just went crazy and it became a shootout and game flow was completely off the charts.
Because I don't think both those defenses give up 500 yards and 40-point defenses. No, but I do think both of those defenses, their weaknesses got exposed a little bit.
Okay. If you look at the Chargers defense, they couldn't stop the run like they had the the the wherewithal of of like two ants trying to stop the run like i mean they just couldn't do it and if you get the brown uh the browns defense i know the defensive coordinator he's a personal friend of mine and they've tried to build that secondary up for the last couple years and that secondary got exposed when miles garrett and jadavion clownion Clowney are not getting after the quarterback, that secondary was getting toasted.
I mean, Mike Williams was running scot-free to the point that I honestly thought that the play was dead because there was no one around him. And it was a touchdown.
So to your point, sometimes it can get out of hand. But I think that was just one of those cases, man, where it was really, really two defenses that had bad matchups because their weaknesses were being accentuated by the other team's strength, if you follow me.
Yes. Yes, absolutely.
I want to ask you about the Washington football team's defense because we had Rex Ryan on a couple weeks ago, and he said that's his biggest disappointment of the season. And it's my personal biggest disappointment because I was relying on that team to be able to look like themselves from last year to a certain extent because they haven't really changed personnel.
They haven't changed coordinators. They, in fact, added some guys on defense.
But they suck. They're just really, really bad right now.
From your perspective as a defensive guy, is it an effort thing or is it a scheme thing? How much hope should I have for this watch defense i think it's a it's a combination of two things i don't think it's scheme because the same coordinator still there jack del rio is still the defensive coordinator so then i i go to the next step could it be effort well i see they're playing hard those guys are flying around i just don't see the consistency of attention to detail the things that make you great are often the little things and last year that defensive line was dominant this year it hasn't been last year they were creating turnovers this year they're not last year their secondary was pretty good I think they added uh is it Jackson JC Jackson maybe the corner yeah they got the corner and they got they got the corner, and they got Landon Collins back, who is – Yeah, so – Yeah, he was supposed to be good, but he's like – he's been pretty bad to the point where people are saying maybe he should just switch positions to linebacker, and that's never a good sign when people are like, your safety is so slow, but he could be a really good small linebacker. Well, listen, that's kind of like Big Cat.
If Big Cat were to play football, he would probably start out at fullback and then they'd be like you know what this running thing is a little tough let's just move him to guard or center so eventually eventually that's where you get to so again you and I are very similar we can we can morph into different positions even though you may want to be a fullback I think eventually you settle in at left guard maybe a right guard. Left guard is more athletic.
You'd be kind of a right guard. This feels personal now, Booger.
Yeah, no, that's fine. No, it's not personal.
It's just a talent. Because Booger struggles with his weight, so he's projecting.
I'll take it. I'll carry it for you.
I don't struggle with it. I just like to eat.
Where do you land on the starting rookie quarterbacks? Like the debate obviously raged when Justin Fields was not being played. Trey Lance has looked not great, but he's had to play for Jimmy Garoppolo because he got injured.
Do you think there's a – are you one of those guys like, hey, you could ruin a starting quarterback, or if they're the guy, they're going to be the guy and you should play them right away. I think you play a guy when he's ready.
I don't believe in putting the guy out there and just throwing him to the wolves. I think there's a lot of kids that are growing up nowadays that are mentally soft.
And if you run into a mentally soft quarterback, yeah, maybe you could not necessarily ruin them, but you will get them in a bad mental state or a bad frame of mind. As you look at these quarterbacks here, Trevor Lawrence, I think is super athletic.
I think he's going to be fine as long as he can keep Urban Meyer on the plane and coming back to Jacksonville. And he stays invested.
I think Trevor will be fine. Zach Wilson, his talent is really, really, really, really off the charts.
He can make all the throws. I just think he's got to get used to doing the simple things.
He's got to get used to coming to work, taking the time card, clocking in, and going to work. He doesn't need to come to work with the shades on and the designer jacket.
He's just got to get used to doing the small things. And if he does that, I think he'll be good.
Matt Jones, listen, Mac is in a really, really good situation. situation I love Matt Jones I love what Mac is doing uh I think Mac is going to wind up being a really really good quarterback he'll make some pro bowls he'll be really good for a long time Justin Fields um I'm not a believer in Matt Nagy um I think Matt Nagy you know yeah yeah I'm just not a believer in what what he's done i thought mitch trubisky was a quarterback that had a lot of talent uh but he just wasn't used in the proper way uh trey lance is not ready and what i mean by not ready let me define that the objectivity of playing that position or the prerequisite you got to make really good decisions you got to take care of the football and you to give your, you have to give your team or put your team in the best position to win.
That means you can't take sacks. That means you can't throw the football to the other team.
If you watch the preseason in every game you play, he took a ton of sacks. He threw interceptable balls, even though they were not sometimes intercepted, but he threw balls that hit the DVs in the hands.
So he's not ready. And if you watch the game the other day against the Cardinals, I mean, Trey Lance, I mean, the first throw of the game or one of the first throws of the game, he gets picked and he throws another one clear over the guy's head.

The game is moving too fast for him.

Eventually, it'll slow down.

And when it does, he'll be an all-pro player.

So I honestly think that these guys, there is a lot of expectation based on where they pick and based on our appetite to get everything we want right now like it's really

not on their fault it's our fault because big cat you being a chicago bear fan you want to see

justin field right now because you're paying you're paying your season tickets or whatever

you want to get your money's worth when you go to the stadium well just have a little patience

yeah um you you mentioned urban there for a second uh is there any recovering of that locker room

Thank you. You want to get your money's worth when you go to the stadium.
Well, just have a little patience. Yeah.
You mentioned Urban there for a second. Is there any recovering of that locker room? You've been in locker rooms your entire life.
I'm sure you've never had a coach not fly back with the team. Let's just say, hypothetically, Tony Dungy stayed overnight after an away game, and then he was grabbing a girl's butt in a bar and getting absolutely hammered.
like something you may have seen how does it recover like how are those guys those guys checked out of what urban meyer's saying for the rest of the year or is there any is there any way this because on top of it all they're bad but is there any way he can get back the trust in that locker room no i don't think so uh i don't think urban can and and to your point p PFT, I don't think Tony Dunge would ever do that, which is the one thing. Like, Tony didn't comment on the whole bar thing with the wife.
Tony's biggest thing was, he's like, that's between you and your wife. Tony's biggest thing was, as a coach, you left your team.
Yeah. Like, this whole thing about teamwork and I'm the guy out front, I'm the leader.
leader like you literally got off the plane and says all right guys we lost a heartbreaker hey i'll catch you guys on the other side like that's just something you don't see people do yeah and and that's something as a player my coach here's the thing here's what's crazy not only did you leave not only did you leave us you went to the bar and you you got a female that's not your wife and she's twerking on you and you're like having a great time. OK, so the very thing that you would probably get upset if we did late at night or somebody caught us in a very compromised position.
Here you are as a grown man married with adult daughters. You are in there and we still don't know where his right hand was.
Like nobody knows where that right hand i've watched like we don't i've watched the tape it was it was in some places it was uh it was a little uh rpo i'll put it that way come on this is this is part of my take i need a little bit more than that uh it was somewhere between the butthole and the vagina it was in the gooch yeah well listen you said it I'm glad you watched the tape, I didn't see it I'll go back and look at the tape a little bit more in detail And see if I can see that But at the end of the day guys As a head coach you just can't do that That's the only thing I'll say You just can't do that Yeah, they might leave him in London I think that would be the best possible outcome for everybody Just don't allow him on the plane have him go out to the pub have a couple pints with some birds over there uh switching gears real quick to college football you're an lsu guy we're lsu guys we love coach

o i want to preface everything i'm about to say with the fact that i i love coach o uh he's been

very good to us on this show and he won a national you don't have to qualify just go ahead and say

you can't take the national championship away from is he going to get fired this weekend um

Thank you. show.
He's been very good to us on this show. And he won a national championship.
You don't have to qualify. Just go ahead and say it.
You can't take the national championship away from him. Is he going to get fired this weekend? No.
I don't think he's going to get fired this weekend. I do think that the people, I'll put it this way, and I think this is the God honest truth.
I think that the people who make those decisions in Baton Rouge, their attention is focused solely on every Saturday throughout the rest of the season. And that's not just with the outcome of the game.
That's preparation. That's his press conferences.
That's everything that involves LSU football. Because, guys, I'll tell you this.
In the state of Louisiana, it's LSU football number one and everything else is second. That includes the New Orleans Saints and the Pelicans, regardless of whether Zion is playing or not.
It is LSU football and everything else. And so I think from a athletic standpoint, from a political standpoint, the entire state is focused on what happens and what goes on the next six or seven Saturdays.
And if that doesn't change, I don't have to tell you guys anything you don't know.

I think we all know what eventually, if it doesn't change, what's going to happen. Yeah.

It sucks.

It sucks because we love Coach O, but it's also the reality of SEC football.

It's the reality of a school like LSU that expects to be great year in and year out. The pressure is – We should be great.
Yeah. LSU should be great.
Yes. Yes.
Actually, on that note, so LSU always has top recruits, you know, Bama, Georgia, Ohio State, these teams that always get the best recruits. Would you – when you're playing on a Saturday, is it that apparent when you play against a team that's like okay they could have a great quarterback they could have a great coach but when it comes down to it they don't have dudes that are even close to our set of dudes yes I I think I've played several games where you basically say hey if that dude doesn't beat us they got no shot right and you know it going in nobody's something like nobody comes out and says it because that goes against the whole code because hey we got to go out and we got to play one player you know all the code speak one player at a time do your job etc etc but i think in the back of everybody's mind you know that if we're playing Wyoming and

they have Josh Allen hey if Josh Allen can't beat us the other 21 guys are gonna step on a few I have no shot right right it's just a it's an interesting part of college football when you watch it every Saturday because in the NFL every any given Sunday you know like every team has pros and any team can beat any team whereas in college football even this weekend you know with with Alabama losing to Texas A&M.

It's a shocking upset.

But at the end of the day,

it's a shocking upset. But at the end of the day, Texas A&M has really fucking good players.
You know what I mean? They have a top 10 recruiting class the last three, four years. Why is it shocking? Jimbo told you this summer it was going to happen.
And Saban replied, what, in golf? Yeah. But you know what I mean? When you actually look at the recruits for each team,

the talent level is not that – there's not a huge discrepancy.

It's just that A&M was having a bad year and Alabama's Alabama.

It's perception, right?

I think we have the perception that when I hear a name,

I automatically know what it's going to be like.

Alabama, dominant.

Ohio State, dominant.

Georgia, dominant. LSU, they could be good depending on who the quarterback is.
So, like, there's this perception. Michigan never beat Ohio State.
So, like, as soon as you say names, the perception comes in our mind, and I think that's our fault again. Yeah.
Because you're right. If you look at the recruiting rankings, the teams that should be really good alabama georgia clemson some are good some are not like clemson's terrible this year and so i i think they got the you have to be able to look at the team watch how they're playing follow how they're playing and that'll give you a little bit of insight but i think the parity is starting to take a little bit of shape in college football.
And what I mean by that is, I think that Penn State has raised that level of play. I think Michigan is playing well this year.
I'm still waiting for USC to get the right head coach. When they get the right head coach, then when USC starts rolling, then they dominate California.
And USC, Oregon kind of control the West Coast. You come in the middle.
It's always been Texas, Oklahoma. You go up in the kind of in the Midwest slash Northeast.
It's been Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan. And then you have the SEC.
That's kind of been what college football has been about. Miami, Florida State has kind of been up and down a little bit.
But like generally it's been a like a 20 team feel for like the last 30 or 40 years we're just I think slowly getting back to that point yeah yeah it's also interesting I think the the biggest change in college football is that guys can transfer and the transfer portal is you know you don't see it like you actually Penn State losing to Iowa is a perfect example they lose their quarterback they don't have a backup usually in in a regular season you know 20 years ago you have a backup who's decent even Caleb Williams comes in I don't know what link what do you think Lincoln Riley's gonna do with Caleb Williams and Spencer Rattler because you don't want to lose Spencer Rattler this season. Like he could, he probably won't, but if you name Caleb Williams a starter, Spencer Rattler could transfer.
He could put himself in the transfer portal the next day, and now you have no debt. Well, I think where you're at right now, he's not leaving, because where is he going, who has scholarships available, et cetera, et cetera.
Yeah, not this year, but he might say, like, I'm not going to stick around and be the backup i again he might not do that's cool right well that's cool if it's mincerado leaves and i got i got a scholarship i can go sign somebody else but it's like this is big boy football big cat like if you you don't do the job like you lose it i'm gonna play the best guys kind of like nick saban remember when nick saban pulled jalen hurts and put in tool yep. And Jalen Hurts kind of just sat there and he toughed it out and he came back in the, I believe in the, in the SEC title game, he came back and played some.
Yep. Okay.
So you have to have the mental toughness as a kid to know that if, if I'm not playing well, like this is very, very similar to life. Like if I'm not doing what I need to do in life i'm going to either be fired demoted and i got to look at my look myself in the in the mirror and say i got to do better yeah spencer rattler to your point i don't think spencer rattler is going to start another game at oklahoma barring injury over the next couple years but thank caleb williams caleb williams came in and galvanized the team so if lincoln stood in front of the team and said hey we're going back to spencer he would lose every player in there because they look at him with the side eye like so you're going back to the dude to head us down two touchdowns or three touchdowns against texas okay all right so now you're not about winning you're about the agenda yeah and as a coach you can't do that man you always got to be real with your team and because if you don't then you risk the you risk losing

the confidence and the trust of your team but but what i'm saying is the best coaches going forward in college football will find a way to keep positional depth in an era where guys can transfer like penn state if they keep will levis who starts for kentucky and beat lsu on saturday night if he's the backup for penn state they win that game in iowa i believe that instead they don't have that backup you know and it falls apart quickly so it's going to be interesting to see which coaches are able to like massage those relationships and keep guys kind of bought in even though they're not starting right away yeah i think that's a good point um i also think that that depth is going to be younger. So you're not going to get a guy who's a junior or a senior that's just going to sit there and twiddle his thumbs and listen to part of my take on Tuesday and Wednesday and go to practice and ride the bench on Saturday.
Like, you're not going to get that. Will Leavis does.
Will Leavis does. Will Leavis is a listener.
Yeah, Will Leavis listens to every show and he beat LSU's ass. Factually incorrect, Booger.
Yeah. Okay, okay.
One out of 100. Okay.
Say I'm wrong, all right? Most of your depth, to your point, Big Cat, is going to be younger guys. So freshmen and sophomores.
And that's what Nick Saban does a great job of convincing young guys to kind of sit around and wait their turn. He'll play them a little bit in the games against Northwest Directional State to kind of make the moms and dads and the grandparents feel good.
But when you get into conference play, those guys don't play a whole lot. All right, what about Georgia's defense? Because I'm starting to think they might be one of the best defenses of all time.
Like maybe in 20 years we might look back and we might be like this Georgia team is like those early 2000s Miami teams, like some of the Florida State teams from back in the day. Do you think that this Georgia team, what we're watching right now, could be an all-time great? I think their defense is as good as we've seen on a collegiate level in a long time.
I think Stetson Bennett, a.k.a. the mailman at quarterback, brings a level of maturity and toughness to the quarterback position that JT Daniels doesn't.
You know, JT, I've never seen a guy practice like on Tuesday, Wednesday, skip Thursday, didn't play Saturday. Like, what are we doing here? And so I think this is Georgia.
It seems like we say this every year. This is Georgia's best opportunity maybe to win a national championship.
Like Like how many times have we said that? Right. Like in the last couple of years, we've said it like two or three times.
So their defense is legit. Their head coach is really, really, really, really good.
I played with them, but I played against Kirby at Georgia. I think we're going to get one of the all-time great games when we get Georgia versus Alabama in the SEC championship game.
I think it'll be outstanding, and I think it'll be one of those Saturdays that we look back and we go, wow. There will probably be, it'll be very similar to the LSU-Alabama game that was 10-9 or 13-9 years ago, where I think there were 44 draft picks on that field.
I think when Georgia and Alabama face each other, potentially, I think there'll be 40 to 50 guys that go in the first four or five rounds in the NFL draft at some point. When you were playing against Kirby on the field, did you underestimate him because his name was Kirby? No, I underestimated him because, if I'm not mistaken, Kirby played safety, and he didn't look really athletic.
He looked like maybe a coach's son.

You know, try-hard guy.

He's going to be in the right spot, do the right thing.

He's a coach on the field.

You know all the stigmas.

Yeah, deceptively athletic.

Yes.

I got you.

I just feel like people named Kirby usually get underestimated in life.

It's one of those names that it's hard to take seriously,

but I think he's proven himself.

And obviously I think this team on defense is definitely one to watch.

I don't know. usually get underestimated in life.
It's one of those names that it's hard to take seriously, but I think he's proven himself. And obviously I think this team on defense is definitely one to watch.
I do want to see them play like an explosive offense. And that's not an – I think the defense lights out, but they have not played an explosive offense.
And your retort could be there aren't that many this year. Who would you classify as an explosive offense? Ole Miss, Alabama, Ole Miss.
Oh, geez. Okay.
Ohio State, what? Okay, oh, listen. Hey, big guy, listen.
Alabama, yes. Ole Miss, I take it you believe in Lane also? No, I think they're...
Listen, Georgia will beat Ole Miss because Ole Miss can't stop anyone. I'm saying, all I'm saying is, the offenses that Georgia has played are not good.
Clemson is a dumpster fire offensively right now. That was a win week one.
We're like, oh, that's huge. Arkansas is one-dimensional.
Auburn, Bo Nix is trick-or-treat. Again, I think Georgia's defense is very, very good.
I just can't wait until they have to play an offense that can do multiple things and do them well. Alabama, like you said, the SEC championship game will be fantastic.
Yeah, that's fair. I would just rebut that by saying Ole Miss put up, what, 14 points against Alabama, and I think that Georgia's defense is a notch above Bama's.
Yeah, no, I agree with you. It's less a on Georgia.
It's more like, I want to see what it looks like against a truly explosive offense, and then I'm ready to say this is an all-time defense from Georgia. You know what I mean? That's the last piece for me.
Yeah, I got you. Booger, are you still in the room with Chris Berman this year while he's coming up with his nicknames uh yes uh he talks a little bit uh he doesn't talk out aloud as much about him but we are in the room together okay because i remember last year we did jalen hurts so good and that you got that on the air force which i appreciate yes that was probably like what do we have this year that was teed up for him nicely.
I don't know. I was thinking two things.
Justin Strawberry Fields.

That should be an easy one to incept.

Or maybe around Christmas time with the 49ers, deck the halls with balls of holly.

Sa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.

No, with the Jets.

When I said 49ers, yeah, with the Jets.

With the Jets, yeah.

Yeah, that one's a bit of a reach.

I do like the Strawberry Fields. Okay, that should be easy for Boomer to hear and be like, oh, yeah.
Did you hear the whoop that he let out the other night? I think it was last Monday night when he was doing the Washington football team game where he screamed and you could hear it echo off the far corner of the room. Yeah, if there were cobwebs in the corner of the studio they there weren't after that whoop yeah boomer is uh i think boomer gets a lot of pent-up frustration throughout the week and when he comes into the the office on sunday he has to let a lot of that out because usually once we do our show he has to record several things for sunday and monday and all that and so i just think he lets a lot of it out.
And if you're in a way, you're going to hear it.

Yeah.

All right. I had one more NFL question.

So give me your, you had a Super Bowl prediction preseason,

but give it to me right now after week five.

Week five Super Bowl prediction.

I am still, I'm going to be a homer.

I am going Tampa versus Buffalo. Okay.
So you're not a believer in the cardinals um you know there's an old saying big cat that you got to crawl before you walk i think they're crawling right now i don't know if they're ready to walk just yet got it is that a height comment about kyler murray yeah you're calling him okay well i mean listen i get it if you want tos thing that you are with your record says, okay, they're 5-0. They're the best.
If I ask you this, you tell me this. They're 5-0.
They have the best record. Are they the best team in football? No.
No, I agree with you on that. Okay, so don't tell me that they're 5-0.
I just said Cardinals, you know. Just shout out the Cardinals, you know.
People get upset because they don't shout out the Cardinals. Okay, I hear you.
What were you saying, PFT? I was just saying that it sounded like a height comment. Like you made a baby reference to Kyler Murray and Moore because they're shorter guys.
I thought that was a little bit disrespectful as a short man. As a guy who is a six-foot defensive tackle, I am with the short people.
Trust me. Okay.
Yes, yes. Yes.
I am not. I was never one of the tallest guys.
You know, me, Aaron Donald, Grady Jarrett. Like, we're among the short defensive tackle crew.
And what I mean by that is none of us are six foot one at all. I like that.
They'll be like, you know, guys like me and Aaron Donald. Like, maybe the best defensive player of all time.
Right. We play the same position.
Yeah.

He just plays a little better.

He trained with knives, you trained with

forks and mac and cheese.

Did we want to ask

quick scouting report for what's

going to happen with the Raiders this week?

Because they're interim head coach, you know, right?

Yeah.

So, are they going to, is this

a rally or is it things are going to fall apart quickly here? Yeah. So are they going to, is this a, they rally or is it things are going to fall apart quickly here? No, I do think they rally.
Who did I have this week? Denver at Denver. Yeah.
That'll be a slugfest. Rich Versace is just really, really quick about him.
He's a special teams coach. And what happens with your special teams coaches, they have to talk to offensive guys and defensive guys.
So that's why they usually have a really, really good pulse of your team. So I think he'll have a really cool feel, a really good vibe when he walks into the meeting tomorrow about his team.
He'll be able to rally the troops. I think this is the best thing for him.
I don't think that having John in that locker room another day was going to be beneficial to anyone. I think there's a lot of soul searching that Mark Davis had to do before they came to that decision last night.
And I think Basaccia going forward, I think he'll do as good a job as you can do under the circumstances. Are they going to go 12-0 the rest of the season? No.
But I guarantee you, the team will fight. The team will fly around.
He's been wanting to be a coach for a long, long time. I can tell you that.
All right. And I look for him to put his best foot forward.
And don't be surprised if this team rallies behind Rich Passacace. Hockey is on.

And no matter the city, no matter the team, no matter the game,

whether it's face-off or penalty shots, regular season or playoffs,

win or lose, no matter what happens, no matter where it happens,

We'll be right back. playoffs win or lose no matter what happens no matter where it happens new amsterdam vodka is there tom all right one last thing on rich is he what's his body type like because that's usually how i judge interim head coaches uh body type as in uh i mean he's not muscular like gabe kapler that's what we're thinking.
He's not bench pressing 350 before the meeting.

Is he a football guy?

Is he a football guy in the truest sense?

Absolutely.

Football guy.

It's hot outside. He's going to walk out there with a long-sleeved shirt on.

He's got a football coach's dress.

He's going to have a pencil somewhere.

He's going to have a bunch of plastic stuff hanging out around his waist.

He's a true football guy, man.

Competitive casual.

I like it.

Yes, that's a great way to put it.

That's probably your best contribution in the last half hour.

Thank you.

Will he cry for his team like Dan Campbell, which I love to see?

If you're on the Lions, are you like, those are good tears?

He cares? So there's probably a couple couple different camps that the team falls in. One, some guys be like, man, what in the hell is wrong with him? Like, what are you doing? And then you got the sentimental crowd that's like, hey, man, hey, our coach cares.
We're like, I'll run through a wall for him. And then you got the other guys that are like, okay, I get it.
I'm not sure if I'd cry about it, but okay, it's cool. So just depending on which camp you fall into, I think the players fall into one of those three camps.
Okay. And Rich, would he cry if given the correct football situation? Because this is important stuff for betting.
Like, when you get a chance at an interim head coach, it's's it's very very crucial to nail what type of

personality they have and and whether or not you're gonna bet on their team here's what i'll

say and i think this will this will answer your question if i had to go in a foxhole and it's

only me and about four or five people and you told me i could go all around the nfl and pick from

head coaches and assistant coaches i'm taking dan campbell okay all right i'm taking um

Thank you. could go all around the NFL and pick from head coaches and assistant coaches.
I'm taking Dan Campbell.

Okay.

All right.

I'm taking Rich Passaccia.

Yep.

I'm taking – I'm trying to go through the list.

I'm taking Sean McDermott.

Okay.

I've got to get me a high-energy guy. I'm getting Sean McVay.

Hank is getting mad because you haven't said Bill Belichick Not getting mad What the hell is he going to do? He's a fucking general His dad was in the Navy More and more mad And then lastly let me see who I'm going to get What is fucking McDermott going to do? What about Andy Reid Or can I maybe say Maybe Matt Nagy and you have him run out so everyone sees the fire going one way and then you can sneak out the other way? No. So basically, you want Matt Nagy to kind of lay down some some cover fire? Yeah, you know, he runs out and then we just get out of the foxhole and retreat.
Oh, no, I'm trying to think who else would it What about Urban Meyer? He'd be like, where the bitch is at? You know what? I'm not going to put Urban Meyer because Urban Meyer just gets sick and stay in the hole. I need somebody that's actually going to fight.
Yes. Okay.
Remember the old line coach from Cleveland? The one that was on Hard Knock. Bob Wiley.
Yes, Bob Wiley. Okay.
I need cover. I need cover.
I like that. Human warmth.

He's also a magician and a pilot.

So that's really, he's like a Swiss army knife of an individual.

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes. But back to the original point,

Basaccia will be in there because he's a tough SOB.

I got to know him a long time.

I know his son.

He's a football guy through and through.

The reason, I think people don't realize this,

but the reason why him and John were so close is because he wasn't afraid to tell john you're wrong you're wrong that's not right you're wrong and oftentimes when you have guys who are assistants they just tell the head coach what they want to hear and i think the respect factor that we all have for rich is that he wasn't afraid to tell john when he was wrong and john must have respected it because he he was in tampa with him and he also in Las Vegas with Richard have been the IT guy then yeah he should you need to use them to read proofread all the emails well listen I think a lot of IT guys around America right now are getting are working the next 24 hours scrubbing all kinds of servers and all kinds of stuff right now yeah if you're an IT guy now is the time to solicit bribes from people. All right, Booger, thank you so much.
We appreciate it. Always enjoy our time with you.

All right, let's wrap up.

We've got, we're putting the listeners on the hot seat

because the guys on Chicks questions sucked.

So we got to pick that up.

We'll also bring back guys on Chicks

and we'll also have Blue Collar Jerry come in every now and then.

So let's pick it up for our Wednesday segments.

So instead we're going to do a Wednesday reading on a Wednesday because we had a super fan fight. Now, Billy is the expert on this because he wrote a blog about it.
So I'll have Billy chime in. But let's hop into it.
Should we hop into it? This is an awesome story. All right.
So the article is Chiefs fansactor, Red Extreme, respond to fight inside Arrowhead caught on video.

Okay, so there's one Chiefs super fan that I think most people have seen.

Right.

He's the guy that wears, I think it's a cheese head that's dyed red.

Correct.

And it says X-Factor on it, named after Dante Hall.

Yep, which is electric.

That should be the name of the Cordurell Patterson Award.

Yes, the X-Factor. Yes.
Yes. And we should give it in every sport.
Yep. Which is electric.
That should be the name of the Corderell Patterson Award. Yes.
The X Factor.

Yes. Yes.
And we should give it

in every sport. Yes.

Yes. The X Factor.
Yeah. Politics.

Yeah. News.
You can give

bounty hunting. I'd actually give it to the Iowa

punter. He's the X Factor

of the year. Yes.
Alright.

Here we go. Kansas City, Missouri.

For the second home game in a row,

fighting in the stands of... What's GEHA Field? I'm going to say Arrowhead Stadium.
Arrowhead Stadium. It's GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
It's all over social media, this time with an odd twist. Two weeks ago, it was fans brawling at the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Los Angeles Chargers.
This weekend, it was super fans squaring up early in the game against the Buffalo Bills. If you spend any time around the stadium on game day, you've likely heard at least one of the men involved.
The man who calls himself the X Factor has been around for decades. In a Twitter video, he's seen getting knocked out by another super fan that the people in Section 129 know as Red Extreme.
i have a question just to start off are both these guys 129 guys because that's that's that's a big issue it looks like it i i actually don't think that there should be more than one superfan at any given time for any given team correct there is a superfan there aren't two different superfans there can be other superfans but they have to know the hierarchy they like there has to be a king i wouldn't even call them superfans i'd call them like i don't know like turbofans superfan implies that you're number one turbofan is kind of cool turbofan is cool that's actually i'd rather be a turbo turbofan is turbofan is the king of the superfans yeah fuck but the point remains that there needs to be an established protocol of who's who yeah it sounds to me like the other guy red extreme like he he that would be that would be mr red extreme mr red extreme he doesn't sound like he's a super fan to me because they they even said he's just he's the king of that section right but i knew who x factor was going into this weekend yes yeah you're right so all right they kicked me out of arrowhead first time ever x factor has been kicked out notice uh here x factor is actually speaking in in the first person here so uh i love that third person third person that's that is a true super fan thing to do so he says they kicked me out of arrowhead first time ever x factor has been Ty X-Factor Roughton said during an interview Monday, this is reminiscent of when Superfan and Detroit Don got kicked out for standing and cheering on defense. You can't have that.
The video of the X-Factor. Can I just say I don't like the fact that they're dead naming him in this article.
Don't break that wall for me. They should continually refer to him as X-Factor.
I don't want to know his name. It's irrelevant.
The video of the X Factor. Is it the X Factor or X Factor? I always just thought it was X Factor.
Because now they're using it as the X Factor. Like it's a proper.
The video of the X Factor falling after an apparent punch has nearly a million views on Twitter. The X Factor explained what happened from his perspective and who was involved.
He's my old apprentice. I actually made him famous.
God damn it. This is so good.
He's my old apprentice. He's the one who showed him the ropes of being a super fan.
It's a tragic story. It is.
It's Rocky V. Yeah, exactly.
Come on. All right.
He's my old apprentice. I actually made him famous.
You know, gave him the name Red Extreme. You really had to dig deep for that one.
All right. So I'm already the X Factor.
X Factor. X, X, X.
The Chiefs. They wear red.
Red Extreme. That sounds good.
Red Extreme. I think all in agreement.
Yeah. I saw him come run up the stairs at me, and he had that look.
I'm going to kill you. So I tried to grab his jersey to stop him and talk to him, but like the movie Friday, he deboed me.
One punch, and I saw stars. Then they took me to triage at Arrowhead.
Check me out. I felt all right at the time, but then I didn't know I had broke my ribs.
There should not be triage for these kinds of fights. Let's not act like you're on an active battlefield.
How many ribs does it sound like? Well, there's a plot twist in here. I don't know if it gets in this story, but Billy, that's why we have Billy.
But I'm going to say five ribs. Five ribs, feels like.
This doesn't feel like you should be going to a hospital. There should be a special, a zoo set up.
Yeah. And they should have an actual vet.
A vet should look at these guys. Red Extreme posted a 17-minute video message to his Facebook page following the incident.
He blamed the X Factor for this. A cup of water was thrown and hit my wife in the back and splashed onto me 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 holy shit what a line i gotta read that again so this is red extreme who knocked out x factor i have 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.
The Chiefs won the Super Bowl. Yeah.
A year and a half. I mean, we have to get these guys for rough and rowdy, right? Yes.
I just want to talk to them. No, we need to have them finish what they started in the ring.
I think that judging based off what I know so far from x factor and red extreme they won't have a problem putting on the gloves yeah no definitely not especially for for some some coin um my problem is it happened inside the stadium and i never imagined in my life i would behave in that manner in the stadium really red extreme really it sounds like he's not that extreme you're a super fan named red extreme you never thought that a possible fight would happen and i saw the video the video starts at the moment of impact so we don't get to see anything that led up to a fight but red extreme certainly he walks away like a man that has been involved in a couple stadium fights before right right this is not this is not old hat for him uh he accused the X Factor of being inebriated during the incident. This is Red Extreme.
He says that I'm a meth addict, which I'm a cocaine addict and alcoholic, been clean for four years. So he did clear that up.
He's not a meth addict. He's a cocaine and alcoholic.
That's X Factor. That's X Factor.
So like the the phrasing here because it said that red extreme also accused the x-factor of being inebriated then x-factor went over the top and just so everybody knows he said i was a meth addict right but no i'm not i'm actually addicted to cocaine and booze so in my head i went he was drunk oh no wait meth what no coke yeah but none of it because he's been sober Oh, no. Wait, meth? What? No, coke.

Yeah, but none of it.

He's been sober for four years.

But if he's basically saying, if I weren't sober, I would have been coked up.

Yeah, my drug of choice is coke and booze, not meth.

Get it right.

Get it fucking right.

That is slander.

Yes, it is.

You can't say that.

He's like, I've never done meth.

I just fucking blow lines and drink a shitload. But I haven't done it a while he's like i party i don't do hard drugs like meth all right throughout the day fox 4 tried repeatedly to connect directly with red extreme but we were turned down however after this story aired in an interview by phone red extreme stressed that anything x factor says should be taken with a big dose of skepticism he also said he stepped away from the chief superfan community because of the distrust and distaste for the x factors behavior this is this goes deep like this is the whole community has been rocked i need to well no the community was rocked before this no i'm saying it's the whole this beef that obviously it came to a head on sunday night has broken this community apart It's longstanding, yeah.
And again, the Chiefs won a Super Bowl. So he stepped away.
It should be the best time. I need to know who else is in the Chiefs superfan community.
How many other superfans do they have? Because I'm starting to see a systemic issue with the Chiefs in that there's no clear leader. Correct.
There's too many Chiefs, not enough I words. Yes.
And we need to know who's at the top of this one. Yes.
Because, of course, anytime you have just lawlessness, Lord of the Flies type stuff, you're going to have fights in your community. Yes.
Uh-oh. Breaking moves.
This is great breaking moves. Maybe the best breaking moves you could have.
Field Yates just reported, following Russell Wilson's injury, the Seahawks are working out the boat. Blake Bortles.
Yes, yes, yes. Oh, my God.
I love it. Also, shout out Field Yates because this could even just not be true, but he knows that we'll all retweet it.
I'm in the process of doing it right now. That was a dirty move.
I love it. That was a dirty move by Phil.
He knows what he's doing. Take the boat out on the Puget Sound, baby.
Yeah. Okay, yeah.
He knows what he did there. I love it.
Am I crazy to think that you don't bring Blake Bortles in for a workout? No. Hasn't he proven himself? You bring him in to change the whole culture.
You bring him in with a contract already signed. Yes, exactly.
It's kind of insulting that Pete Carroll. Parking spot there.
You know what you're getting. Yeah, it's a formality.
Yes. If they sign him Sunday night, him against Big Ben.
Oh, love it. Yes.
Oh, dude. They never know.
No, it's Blake because Blake always kicks Big Ben's ass. He murdered the entire franchise.
Yes. He's a steal stealer killer um okay great breaking moves all right let's get back to red extreme and uh the chief superfan community so uh red extreme has left the superfan community because of x-factor's behavior we pick up here meanwhile rotten who is x uh x-factor meanwhile x-factor said had a wild week, including flipping his car, but was clear about whether he'd retire after this incident.
So, hold on. Can I ask a quick question? Just to throw this out there.
He got broken ribs from getting knocked out? Yes. Not by the car? No.
He was fine. Flipping a car? The car flipped, but it was a punch.
Punch that broke all of his ribs. This is a clear case.
They're going to use this. Yeah, Billy, go ahead.
He's done some investigation. Apparently, everyone in Kansas City hates X Factor.
Okay. And they think he's allegedly a child molester.
Oh, whoa. Whoa, whoa.
Okay. Allegedly.
Allegedly. X-Factor? Now, wait.
Is X-Factor a child molester? Or is... No, he's never done meth.
He's coke and booze. But they think he was boozed up when he rolled his car.
Actually saying... You know what? But if he was coked up, too, then maybe...
Allegedly. Got it.

The more I hear it, the more telling a reporter,

I'm not a meth ed, I'm a coke guy and an alcoholic,

that's actually very meth-like behavior.

Yeah.

To volunteer that you don't do meth.

I like to believe people in life.

Now, is X Factor, is he alleged to be a child molester,

or is it Ty Roughton, the man behind the costume? Just Google Ty Roughton. Okay.
All right. So anyway, he was clear about whether he'd retire after the incident.
X Factor was saying, no, this is making me stronger. You know, Jesus was persecuted.
I'll come back stronger. It doesn't seem like a great guy, but I love him.
I actually do love him.

All right.

At this moment, authorities are not involved in the situation.

Neither of the men involved have expressed interest in pressing charges of any kind.

Two weeks ago, Jackson County prosecutors filed a variety of blah, blah, blah, blah.

All right.

The X-Factor is planning on attending next weekend's Kansas City Chiefs game in Washington, D.C. Now, Billy, we need some background, too, becausey also uncovered that these guys have known each other for a very long time very long time there's a picture of so basically the chiefs have a bunch of super fans that were in a community and these two are just two of many others that are involved uh so turns out uh x factors the mother of x factors wife i I mean, the mother of X-Factor's the mother of X-Factor's wife I mean the mother of X-Factor's children might have slept with the Red X-Stream 18 years ago which caused the schism and what does the mother say the mother says I gotta pull it up wow so here's the tweet from from uh ty x factor roughton the man who knocked me out aka it's very very weird how he phrases it red extreme is right in front of me in this photo the feud started 18 years ago when he slept with mother of my child behind my back he broke my hand ankle jaw teeth and four ribs and punching me at arrowhead and then there's a picture of them in happier times four ribs guy was in a car crash a few days ago not on meth got it i think it all checks out no i also shout out me as a doctor i said five ribs he said four they're going to teach they're going to use this as an example in law school like five years from now about how people should probably not talk to the press when they have pending litigating matters yeah so obviously like he could sue the guy for money for broken ribs maybe even sue the stadium but the fact that he just couldn't help himself he's like you know what the news wants to talk to x factor i'm going to talk to him by the way i my car yesterday.
Oh yeah. X Factor is very active on Facebook.
Can we try to book X Factor please? Red Xtreme? Maybe Sneak Attack? Where we get them both at the same time? Well don't tell them now. I don't think they're listeners.
I just followed him on Twitter. This is a fucking awesome bio that he has.
I am CEO of KC Superfans, Pro Football Hall of Fame Chiefs Superfan, world record holder for watching 70 straight hours of football. Oh, this guy.
We got to interview him. We got to interview him.
Got to have him on the show. Got to talk to him about that.
Unless he's a child molester. Yeah, well, we'll say that at the start.
Like, hey, dude, are you a child molester? And if he says yes, then we'll stop the interview. That's how we should start every interview from now on.
So he says, this is about his accent. I love the song, Jesus Take the Wheel.
Who knows how long that was yesterday? Tire marks in ditch was a mile long. I fell asleep behind the wheel going 85 miles per hour on interstate.
Thank God this Sorrento didn't have cruise control. As God took my foot off pedal at some time, I went down a huge ravine, plowed through fence and struck a tree right before a pond.
Tree flipped my vehicle. I woke up who knows how long after hanging upside down my vehicle due to seatbelt.
My two passengers were ejected and one was stuck in between windshield and dash. Thank goodness they are small guinea pigs.
They had no injuries. What? I forgot this part.
I forgot this part. Driving around with guinea pigs? I forgot this part.
And the guinea pigs were fine. So X-Factor raises guinea pigs.
Okay. Okay.
They had no injuries. I have a broken left hand, concussion, bruised ribs, head, back, and glass.
And he did it all this? Yeah. And then he's claiming that the punch.
No, that was a totally separate set of injuries when he got punched. Oh, that's incredible.
And then. What did the wife say? The wife said, and we don't know if this is the wife really, but I think it is because of the reactions from him you lie so much you can't even keep track 18 years ago i was just pregnant with my oldest and didn't even know you he and i never screwed around take your beating that you started and fucking stop playing victim like a bitch that's the ex-wife of x-factor yes that's incredible i don't know if they were married but i think this story is the best i kind of want to go down to dc and interview x-factor oh my god we need to get him on the show we have to get him on the show if anybody out there knows how to get in touch with x-factor it seems like he's he's a big fan of publicity he'll we got to get him on the show let's get him on friday's show this is incredible if he's not a diddler? Let me check that out right now.
If he's a diddler? Are you going to check? Is X Factor a child molester? What would you say his name was? All right. Well, let's wrap up the show.
I want to say, for legal purposes, all accusations of him being a child molester were done only by Billy.

Allegedly. And Red Extreme.

And Red Extreme.

And Red Extreme.

Yes.

I have nothing to do with that.

All right.

Should we do numbers and the show?

I'm so excited about Blake Bortles.

Guinea pigs get their name

because they cost a guinea at ports

in South America.

Can you turn it on? We have five numbers out of play. 80, 50.
Eight. 44, 89, and 16.
Oh, wait. 47.
Wow. It goes from six times to seven times.

Now has a two-ball lead.

Whoa, 47.

I love how long it is.

It's dominant.

Wow, there were three numbers of five.

47 has six.

Now 47 has seven.

I would like to weigh 47 and see if there's a difference in weight

between that ball and the others.

What a beast.

It's 47's world.

We're just living in it.

Yeah.

Crazy.

Wait, what's the number of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? I don't know. Do you have an animal fact? Yeah, I did.
Guinea pigs are called guineas because they're from Guinea. They cost a guinea at the ports.
Love you guys. Oh, it's 42.
I'll be coming for your love again. Shying away.
