Speaker 3 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 3 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Eli, Trake Avenue.

Speaker 3 And then we'll take it higher. That's part of my take presented by Broad School Sports.

Speaker 3 Welcome to Pardon My Take presented by Dave and Busters, where we are right now. Go to a Davin Busters right now and watch some football.

Speaker 3 Today is Friday, September 17th, and holy shit, that Thursday night football game was hilariously stupid and awesome. It was insane.
Everything happened.

Speaker 3 Every possible thing happened in that game. Billy kept saying there's going to be another fuck shit thing that happens at the end.

Speaker 3 There was so much fuck shit that happened in the fourth quarter tonight. I don't even know where to begin.
All I know is I died. I came back to life.
I died again. And then I came back to life.

Speaker 3 And then I died officially. And then I came back to life again.
And then I won.

Speaker 3 It was crazy. It was, by the way, if there's any echo, the first 10 minutes of this show is at Davin Buster's.
We're at Davin Buster's. It was awesome.

Speaker 3 But it was a crazy game.

Speaker 3 Taylor Heineke went from looking like the greatest quarterback ever when he shredded the Giants in two plays down the field to Taylor Heineke, what the fuck are you doing, throwing an interception with just over two minutes left, to Taylor Heineke, you did it again, you fucking crazy bastard.

Speaker 3 You brought him into field goal range.

Speaker 3 Oh, he misses the field goal oh nope there's a flag shout out the guy who is at the stream screaming all fourth quarter this game is rigged the refs have rigged it they don't want to see the giants win we know that the nfl hates mr mara i i started to believe it at the end i mean he was very dexter lawrence was very offside okay so here's the thing i personally as a washington football team fan if it were within my power i would let the new york giants take this victory big of you i i would like to do that unfortunately it's not with my power to decide who wins who loses the giants won this football game like five times the football team should not have won this football game whatsoever.

Speaker 3 Taylor Heineke,

Speaker 3 I think Taylor Heineke has it.

Speaker 3 I don't know what it is. He's got something.
He's got it. He's got it.
The Heineken is what they're calling him.

Speaker 3 And there were times tonight when it was like that dude could be the quarterback of the future, but then he does something like throw that pass down the middle of the field.

Speaker 3 I didn't hate the idea of letting Taylor Heineke throw the ball to seal the game at the end, but just don't throw it down the middle of the field. Yeah,

Speaker 3 that was a weird one.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it was, it was a crazy game. It was a, it was a cra

Speaker 3 it, if anything we've learned with the NFL, and I should have known this going in, when you have a game that you say to yourself, this game stinks,

Speaker 3 and it's a standalone primetime game, it is almost always guaranteed to be fucking awesome. Because that game ruled.
It was chaos.

Speaker 3 It was like Daniel Jones ripping off runs, holding calls, calling it back, throwing bombs. Like Daniel Jones actually played pretty decent tonight.
He played really well.

Speaker 3 I thought he threw the ball good in the second half. He didn't throw the ball that great in the first half, but when he runs with the ball, he's, we forget, he's the fastest player in the NFL.

Speaker 3 That's what next-gen stats taught us last year. He was faster than Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 3 Ooh, is it discrimination that Daniel Jones was not asked to convert to wide receiver when he was going through the NFL combine?

Speaker 3 Listen, it was, I mean, he's, yeah, if you're, I don't, I mean, the Giants, like, they got their hearts ripped out, stomped on everything.

Speaker 3 Like, because that was, it really, I know it's week two, and we have to remind ourselves there's a 17-game season, so there's a lot of football left, but it really did feel like the winner of this game was going to go on to maybe doing something, and the loser was going to be like, holy shit, how'd we lose that game?

Speaker 3 It was so winnable. I just want to shout out real quick because I had a take today that Saquon Barkley, maybe is he not good? I don't know, but he's been injured.

Speaker 3 He ended up with one of the weirdest stat lines ever because he had a 41-yard rush and he ended with 13 carries, 57 yards. I love it.
On a 41-yard rush. And again, I like Saquon Barkley.

Speaker 3 I just, it's weird because I think everyone realizes that the capital they used on him is crazy. I think all Giants fans know that to draft him number two.

Speaker 3 But it's also like you watch him play and there are times you're like, wait, what is he looking at? Yeah, he doesn't see the hole that well.

Speaker 3 But that might be something that comes back after he gets a couple more games. And he's a better offensive line.
I actually do. I'll admit that.
His quads look smaller this year. Yeah.

Speaker 3 His legs, he he doesn't have the tree trunks that he used to have. His new shoes are awesome, though.
I'm going to buy them when they come out. So shout out Saquon for that.

Speaker 3 At least you got that going for you. Yeah, new shoes look good.

Speaker 3 I mean, credit to the Giants. I actually thought they played really well.
They were four or five times. That's so mean.
Don't think of one.

Speaker 3 You know what you just did? Doing a Jake. Yeah, you're doing a Jake Marshall.

Speaker 3 I'd like to wholeheartedly triple scoreship everybody and say congrats to the Giants. Well, I'm giving them the win, Big Cat.
I'm saying,

Speaker 3 congrats on the win.

Speaker 3 If I was a Giants fan, I'd be puking on my face. I'd be mad at myself, too.
And I mean, the fact of the matter is the football team did not deserve to win this game.

Speaker 6 Don't say that.

Speaker 3 Just say they won. They won.
They deserve to win. They won.

Speaker 3 The winner of this game might go on to do something big, loser. It's going to be tough.

Speaker 3 During the week, I thought this was going to be a must-win for the football team. And then earlier today, I looked at their schedule.

Speaker 3 And if they lost this game, it was season over because they have a really tough schedule for the seven weeks. 17 weeks.

Speaker 3 But no, if you look at their schedule the next seven weeks, they play all the best teams in the NFL.

Speaker 3 They're going to do good to get out of that stretch with like six losses or seven. Like, it would have been bad if they had lost this week.

Speaker 3 Obviously, at the end of the season, they've got five games in a row against division rivals, so anything could happen down the stretch.

Speaker 3 But yeah, I mean, the season was over when they missed that field goal. And then, you know what's even crazier?

Speaker 3 The guy that jumped offside, that's the guy that the Giants drafted with the pick that they got for Odell Beckham.

Speaker 3 Damn. That was weird.

Speaker 3 But again, the Giants should have won that game. They should have won that game.
Give it to him. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 Yeah, if you're a Giants fan, I don't, that's a heart, heartbreaking loss. I guess

Speaker 3 the only solace that I'll throw out there for Giants fans, which you know, I think every fan can relate to this.

Speaker 3 It's better to lose on a Thursday night than it is to lose on a Monday night or a Sunday night because by the time week two comes around on Sunday and we watch all that football, you'll kind of forget that this game happened.

Speaker 3 So at least, like, there's no worse feeling than losing on a Sunday or Monday night and being like, like, well, that's all the football for the week. You at least have this weekend to watch football.

Speaker 3 It sucks. I'm just trying to find anything for you.
Also, you covered. That's all I really cared about as a neutral observer to this game.

Speaker 3 So, yeah, you covered three and a half. Good teams win.
Great teams cover. You're a great team tonight.
Great team. Yeah.
Scratch to the Giants.

Speaker 3 Also, so let's quickly, before we get to the picks and everything, shout out again, Davin Busters. Awesome time.

Speaker 3 You guys played game. I was saying to Hank, it was a very, sometimes

Speaker 3 there are moments where it's like, oh,

Speaker 3 I might be,

Speaker 3 I am a dad, but I really feel like a dad because you guys went and ripped off some games at halftime.

Speaker 3 And I just went and sat on the toilet by myself and just like, like, just enjoyed peace and quiet for a minute.

Speaker 3 But you guys look like you had a great time. Had a great time.
Went out and played some of the games there.

Speaker 3 They have a couple football games that I played, played Halo with Billy. Billy, as a Marine, really excelled.

Speaker 3 He's got great sharpshooters. Great sharpshooter.
Yeah, he's deadly accurate.

Speaker 3 And then we went and played some Jurassic Park, did some other basketball type games. It was fun.
It was a really good time.

Speaker 3 When you put a power card in my pocket, I feel like I'm Pac-Man that just ate the

Speaker 3 big pellet. Now I'm chasing the ghost.

Speaker 3 I think the one thing I can say about Dave and Busters,

Speaker 3 obviously the last couple of years have really sucked. And people haven't been able to go out and enjoy themselves.

Speaker 3 When you go into a Dave and Busters, you immediately are like, oh, yeah, this place is fucking awesome.

Speaker 3 Like, there's just fun shit everywhere. There's TVs everywhere.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 Just if you if you're trying to treat yourself, go treat yourself to an afternoon or an evening at Dave and Buster's, and I guarantee you'll have a great time.

Speaker 3 They did a great job taking care of us, except for when Taylor Heineke threw that interception and my life flashed before my eyes, and I was so sad.

Speaker 3 My head was like resting on the table, and then the server comes out. He's like, here's a big basket of churros.
Yeah, no, he kept on.

Speaker 3 That's the saddest thing ever. When I look up at the churros, and I'm like, I'm in no mood for dessert, but they're really good.
So I better have a churro to you. I'll just say it right now:

Speaker 3 the goal to skydiving took a hit today. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it took a hit.

Speaker 3 We'll get back on. You know what, though? This was, it's like we were on a little mini vacation today.
Yeah, right. We're out

Speaker 3 on Long Island. In Long Island? Inside of Long Island.
In Long Island, and we had a great time.

Speaker 3 All right. Well, congratulations to Washington football team.
Season back on. Congratulations to the New York Giants.
Giants, you have

Speaker 3 your heart in a bucket of tears. Boiling tears.
What is the office line? Ripped your heart out and dropped it into a bucket of boiling tears.

Speaker 3 All things considered, like as far as bodily fluids go, that's not a bad one to do. Yeah, I think that's what happened tonight.
But all right, let's get to the rest of the picks.

Speaker 3 Daniel Ricardo, Bear Grylls, Firefest. We have it all, and we're back in studio.

Speaker 7 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 7 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a a few dips.

Speaker 7 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, Hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 7 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 7 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 3 Listen, okay, week two preview.

Speaker 3 I love week two two because we basically have to try to build a base of knowledge off of one week. And we also have to say to ourselves, don't overreact.

Speaker 3 But by nature, that's kind of what we do.

Speaker 3 All right, so

Speaker 3 if you missed last week's show, the way we're doing previews this year is that we have a picks competition in-house where all six of us will pick an over, an under, a favorite, and an underdog.

Speaker 3 We'll also talk about the games. That's how we do the preview.
The second place person and the last place person at the end of the year will have to drive to the Super Bowl, which is in L.A.

Speaker 3 So that's New York to L.A., about 40-hour drive with each other.

Speaker 3 And after one week, there's not a lot of separation, obviously, because it's for four picks. We've got Hank, the standalone leader, at 3-1.
Great job, Hank. Time it up for our boy, Hank.

Speaker 3 Good job, Hank.

Speaker 3 My boy's wicked smart. Big cotton PFT, 2-2.

Speaker 3 That's where I want to be.

Speaker 3 I'm shooting for 500 on the air. Quick, one game, rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
If there was a tiebreaker right now, who would have to go? Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

Speaker 3 Fuck. You go.
All right, I'd have to go back. And then you and Hank

Speaker 3 for last, myself, Billy, Liam, one and three. No, you'd have to go.
I beat you. Oh, I finished in second place.

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 3 This is so stupid.

Speaker 3 Although, I've already convinced myself that if I do end up going, I'm kind of happy because at least for one night, it goes through Memphis.

Speaker 3 And I would just stay in the hotel in the suite in the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid. Yes, we stopped there on our benchmark trip last week.
Incredible place, right? Did it take your breath away?

Speaker 3 It was awesome. It's like the Guggenheim, the Pompadou Museum, and then the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee.
By the way, shout out Bench Mob, Earns Not Given, Brad Calapari on the show.

Speaker 3 Yes. Wow.
Okay.

Speaker 3 That's awesome. Tune in.

Speaker 3 Little trend. PFT was the only one to hit his favorite last week, but also the only one to lose his underdog.
Oh, wow. That's weird.
That's a trend to keep your eye on.

Speaker 3 This is our own personal Tim Kirchin. You just never know what's going to happen.
Right. All right.
So let's preview week two.

Speaker 3 Let's start with our favorites. Hank, why don't you start and we'll stop and talk about each game, what we think, thoughts, whatever else to get you ready for week two of the NFL.

Speaker 3 Hank.

Speaker 6 Oh, wow.

Speaker 6 I thought I was reading the wrong notes. My favorite's the Broncos.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 6 Pretty gross.

Speaker 6 I wrote that down and then I went to check it and I was like, this must be an old note. But yeah, no, my favorite's the Broncos.

Speaker 3 That is a gross, gross team to pick because I would think that this would be one of your money line, one of your dog plays. I love the Jaguars.
Yep. It's bad how much I love the Jaguars.

Speaker 3 So I feel great about this.

Speaker 3 Basically, week two, I'm like, who looked the absolute worst? They can't be that bad.

Speaker 6 For the record, since we are tracking this stuff, one trend to notice too was last week when you guys were all on that over, and I was like, I'm not going to switch my pick, but I am going to bet the under that under did hit.

Speaker 3 So you guys are either.

Speaker 3 No, I'm just saying, usually when you two are like, I love the Jaguars.

Speaker 6 I would be lying if I I said that didn't make me feel better about my pick.

Speaker 3 So I think that the Jaguars are in a position this week where, first of all, it's Trevor Lawrence's first home game, right? Yep.

Speaker 3 Second of all, I feel like the team needs to win to keep Urban Meyer around. Well, I was going to say,

Speaker 3 I disagree with that because they don't even like Urban Meyer. Well, Urban Meyer came out and said that he's not interested in the USC job, and you have to trust a guy like that.

Speaker 3 Like, he's never lied to anyone ever. He also shuffled his feet and, like, scratched the back of his neck and looked away from the reporter when he was answering the question.

Speaker 3 And then they canceled his coach press conference that he's supposed to do, the conference call. Big J's were big heated about that.

Speaker 3 And then the PR person was like, this happens all the time in the NFL. It's not a big deal.
But I feel like there was something there.

Speaker 3 Because if you put Urban Meyer out and you ask him a question, I just did it myself. If you ask Urban Meyer, are you going to leave? And he says no, everyone's going to be like, look at him lying.

Speaker 3 We don't trust this guy. And if he says, you know, if he equivocates on it, doesn't give a direct response, then everyone's like, look, he's equivocating, he's going to go.

Speaker 3 The only answer that I would have accepted if I were a Jaguars fans is him just saying we're focused on the Broncos.

Speaker 3 Because then basically, he's not lying, and he's also probably going to take the USC job, but I know that, and I'd rather that than to be lied to my face.

Speaker 3 I wonder if Tony Khan has sat Urban Meyer down and been like, pretty please, can you promise me? Yeah. And Urban's like, yeah, dude, I got you.
I have no chance at all will I ever coach college again.

Speaker 3 So if you're Tony Khan and you're in charge of AEW, at what point do you have to resort to physical intimidation?

Speaker 3 Well, just be like, look, if you take the job, CM Punk's going to choke slam you through a ring. Do you think Tony Khan maybe has offered Urban Meyer a shot at the title?

Speaker 3 Like, if you stick around, you might get the title. Maybe.
That would be worth it for me. Just dangle it in front of me.
I don't know what motivates Urban Meyer. I did go back and look at his.

Speaker 3 Family motivated.

Speaker 3 I went back and looked at his contract to his family when he took the Ohio State job. Number seven on it, it was 10 things that he was promising to do.
Number seven was keep the lake house. Really?

Speaker 3 Yeah, which is a wild thing to be like, I promise to keep the lake house, which is, that's not really hard to do. I feel like he threw that in for himself.

Speaker 3 It also begs the question, he was definitely going to sell the lake house

Speaker 3 before he included that in. But isn't the hardest part about a lake house is getting the lake house.
The two best days of your life are when you get a lake house and when you sell the lake house.

Speaker 3 Yeah. He's already achieved goal number one.
Keep the lake house. It also said eat three meals a day.
That was on his contract list.

Speaker 3 Which I don't know which way, because if I put that in my contract, it'd be like, you promise not to eat five meals anymore. Right.
So I think he was eating one. He was OMAD.

Speaker 3 He probably eats like one meal a week, like a snake. Yeah.

Speaker 3 It was just very funny reading that back and being like, these are just basic things like talking to your children that anyone should just do. But he wrote a contract for himself.

Speaker 3 I promise to attend one of your sports games per year. Yeah, I was in there.
Yep.

Speaker 3 All right, Bubba, your favorite. Okay, five and a half.

Speaker 3 All right, five and a half, Hank, for Denver. That's the official line right now.

Speaker 6 I have Rams minus three and a half.

Speaker 3 I hate it. I hate it too.

Speaker 3 Hanks.

Speaker 3 Hank, you're going to bet a favorite? No, I hate it, too. Yeah, yeah, I hate it too.

Speaker 3 Okay. That's probably a good sign for you.
I just, that's one of those games that

Speaker 3 the Rams looked awesome, but I think the Bears might be that bad. So you, and I like, you know, the Colts look bad, but the Seahawks might be that good.
Again, this is building an entire

Speaker 3 house of knowledge off of one week. Yeah, we're doing a lot of the transitive properties, but I do think this team beats that team, and now that team beat the other team.

Speaker 3 So, therefore, right, but I do think the Bears are that bad, so I think the Rams might not be as good as they looked on Sunday night. Yep, that makes sense.
I think that's totally fair.

Speaker 3 Now, that being said, my favorite is the Bears. Oh,

Speaker 3 I don't hate it. Two and a half at home.
They're the two heaviest teams in the NFL. That's a little fun stat for you.
They're the most 300-pounders on their teams by far.

Speaker 3 Also, Andy Dalton Revenge game, betting on the Bears.

Speaker 3 And I love betting on teams that come off big primetime losses. Yes.
Because

Speaker 3 we ascribe way more knowledge to a game that we see when it's dark outside and when it's Chris Collinsworth in the booth and Al Michaels.

Speaker 3 I put way more stock into the Rams beating the piss out of the Bears than I do any of the 1 p.m. games from last week.

Speaker 3 Even though it's the same game, it could have very well happened at a different time of day. But because that's the last freshest thing that I have in my mind, I want to bet on the Rams.

Speaker 3 Therefore, I know I'm dumb. I'm not going to bet on the Rams.
I also just realized that I said, ooh, I like that pick because, well, it's also mine. So I didn't realize that I wrote that down.

Speaker 3 Bears minus two and a half as well. There you go.
Andy Dalton is going to, at this point, it's what's the, what is it, Murphy's Law? Anything bad that can happen? What is it?

Speaker 3 Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. I think Andy Dalton winning this game and then continuing the start.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 That's exactly where we're at right now is Andy Dalton doing just enough to keep his job and keep this torture chamber that I'm living in alive.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I could also see the Bears putting Justin Fields in for a play and then giving him like zero protection, getting blindside, and then Matt Nagy's like, see, he's not ready for the NFL yet. Well,

Speaker 3 fun that you brought that up, PFT, because Matt Nagy actually said today that Justin Fields provides a lot of value as a chess piece in the Bears game plan, which is exactly what you want for the guy that you traded your next year's first-round pick for, a chess piece.

Speaker 3 He's a gimmick pack.

Speaker 3 If he's a chess piece, he's a pawn that is like two steps away from getting promoted to be a queen, but you just won't advance him a square because you're too stubborn to do that.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's just trolling everyone at this point, Matt. I hate him so much.
All right, Billy, your favorite? My favorite is the Bills. Ooh, a little bounce back.
Minus three and a half.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah. Okay.
I think they went by a touchdown. Three.
Three is the, yeah, Jake, update us with any of the current lines. Three, okay.
Bounce back.

Speaker 3 Little humidity down in Florida. You think they're going to be okay with that? Grip the ball.
Okay.

Speaker 3 Grip. Baby.
Guys hands. Rocket arm.
The humidity helps with the grip. Yeah.
At what point does does it become too wet to grip? Because you see. You see it's raining.

Speaker 3 You see quarterbacks lick their hands. That's a good thing for grip.
When it's humid, that's a good thing for grip. When it's super dry, the ball's like slick.
Okay. Unless it's super cold.

Speaker 3 What about if you scuff it up?

Speaker 3 I like humidity for the grip. When you scuff it, not too hard.
All right, I don't hate that pick.

Speaker 3 I didn't realize it moved to three. Yeah.
I like the Dolphins at three and a half, but at three, it feels, I don't know. It feels like a three-point game.
That's all.

Speaker 3 Wouldn't you say, though, that with giant hands like Josh Allen, it's almost a detriment to him because the quarterback that he's playing against needs that humidity to grip the ball more than he does.

Speaker 3 That's an interesting point.

Speaker 3 But when it's flying through the air, still a rocket. Okay.

Speaker 3 Still a rocket. All right.

Speaker 3 Jake, your favorite? We're going to close out the favorites with the 49ers minus three at Philadelphia. Okay.

Speaker 3 I think the Eagles, obviously, very public perception positive because they did smack the Falcons, but I don't think the Falcons are good. The 49ers, healthy.

Speaker 3 People forget they went to the Super Bowl two years ago. Last year they were bitten up.
Now they're at full strength. They can win the game.
I like the strength. I like the strength in there.

Speaker 3 Shout out Raftery. Don't like that pick, but I just think the Eagles

Speaker 3 have been slept on a little bit. I think their offensive line and defensive line are very good.

Speaker 3 And we, when like kind of deciding what, how the NFC East was going to go, wouldn't it be perfect for the NFC East if the team that was least talked about going into the season? That's

Speaker 3 Exactly.

Speaker 3 That's what happened in the division.

Speaker 3 That's all my betting analysis is. Which team did no one expect to win the NFC East? Okay, Eagles.
Okay, weird head coach, weird press conference, Jalen Hurts. People have question marks.

Speaker 3 All right, yeah, so they'll probably go 11-6 somehow. I also like Jason Kelsey's new hair.
Excuse me, Jason Kelsey's new hair.

Speaker 3 He dyed his hair blonde because he made a bet with Zach Ertz that if Zach wasn't traded by the regular season, he would go full blonde. Love it.
So he bleached it.

Speaker 3 That's one of those things where I'm just like, these guys are having fun out there. They're loose.
That's good cohesion. That's a good lock.
You need that in your center. Yep.

Speaker 3 As soon as you lose Carson Wentz, everyone gets along. Yep.

Speaker 3 All right. Hank, your underdog.
The Texans.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Plus 12 and a half.
That's a lot of points in the NFL, especially in week two, especially coming off a win.

Speaker 3 Yeah. I agree.
Why not? I agree. That's a good pick.
Hank, you know what that is? That's a sharp pick. That is.
Appreciate that. Too many points.

Speaker 3 You can feel safe walking in anywhere between now and Sunday being like, too many points. So many points.

Speaker 3 You're already up by two scores in the game right now. Too many points.
I'm on with Hank. Oh, okay.

Speaker 3 There it is. Too many points.
You want to say it? Too many points. Yeah, too many points.
The Browns, they play down to their competition.

Speaker 3 If they're worse than a team, they'll play up to the level.

Speaker 3 If they're better than a team, they'll play down. If you look back through last year, for the most part, they don't blow teams out.

Speaker 3 The Browns just don't, for whatever reason, even though they've got a ton of skill. Also, it's a Tarad Taylor revenge game.

Speaker 3 Against the Browns. And you really can feel good about

Speaker 3 any time that you make a bet and you can just, when someone says, who do you like? And you're like, I like the Texans. Too many points.
Too many points. It just makes you feel sharp.

Speaker 3 And again, they could lose by 40, but it was still too many points. These guys get paid to play football too down in Texas.

Speaker 3 It's the team that everyone shat on all offseason, making it probably a very attractive landing spot for Odell Beckham. And if we're going along the same lines of

Speaker 3 Murphy's Law, like the Browns somehow losing this game and going 0-2 would be, wouldn't that be just perfect? It would be very interesting. Yes.

Speaker 3 Not perfect in the fact that I want the Browns too well, but perfect in the fact that everyone hyped the Browns, and then for them to do that would be like, oh, whoops.

Speaker 3 Go ahead, Liam. I have the Eagles plus three as my underdog.
I like it.

Speaker 3 I like it. Nick Siriani, I like it.
All right, PFT? I have the Texans, plus 12. Okay, nice.
I'm. Too many points.
Too many points. There it is.

Speaker 3 I'm taking the Carolina Panthers, plus three and a half at home against the New Orleans Saints. I don't mind that either.
Division, underdog, home, new turf. Why not? All the Saints.

Speaker 3 Jameis's eyeballs. I like Jameis, but as a favorite, he is not great.
And all the Saints coaches are out with COVID. Yeah.
I think it was. Except he didn't have LASIC, though.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but he's just not a good quarterback, is it?

Speaker 6 I feel like everything has got to be like BL.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah, but I don't know.

Speaker 3 This is his first time going to Carolina, playing in a game there since he had the LASIC. It might be stimulus overload.
He's never seen that.

Speaker 3 You know what? I don't think that he's ever seen the Panthers logo at midfield. Or the Panther.

Speaker 3 Or the giant animatronic Panther that slaughtered thousands of Carolina fans. He's going to see it

Speaker 3 in

Speaker 3 8K? He's probably going to freak. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Billy. I like the Raiders plus six and a half.
Ooh. I feel like their defense after chasing Lamar.
I'm going to give himself some points there. Go ahead.
Six and a half now. Oh, okay.
There you go.

Speaker 3 Oh, wow. It is.
After seeing them chase Lamar Jackson, their defense hitting Big Ben is going to be so much easier. It's going to be like slow motion.
They're going to catch him. He's immobile.

Speaker 3 All right, counterpoint.

Speaker 3 I do think that that was such an emotional win.

Speaker 3 Like, Derek Carr afterwards, we talked about it on Wednesday's show, how great it was, how relatable it was, great post-game press conference, but it really felt like an emotional release.

Speaker 3 Like, oh, my God, I can't believe we won this game. To then have to travel to Pittsburgh, play it at one o'clock, early time for, is Vegas West Coast? Yeah, it is.

Speaker 3 That feels like a sleepwalk. Yeah.
Also, Derek Carr, they've had the conversation this week on Get Up, our first take, one of the two. They're the same show.

Speaker 3 But they're saying, is Derek Carr an elite quarterback? Right. Which is that is the, no, an elite quarterback.
Not is he underrated. They're asking if he's elite.

Speaker 3 He is elite compared to previous iterations of Derek Carr. True.
But this is the ultimate.

Speaker 3 I don't think we can have a bigger overreaction to anything that happened in week one than to jump already to the is Derek Carr elite conversation. Right.

Speaker 3 He did suck in the first quarter, but he didn't play all preseason, so now I think he's more warmed up and he's more comfortable. Hey, it's a lot of points.
It is. You don't have to win that game.

Speaker 3 You just got to cover. Exactly.
Was that his coming out party?

Speaker 3 Stepping on Carl Nassip's toes a little bit. Whoa.

Speaker 3 We don't know. We don't know.
I guess we'll find out in week two. Hair looked good.
Separation sun. Hair looked great.

Speaker 3 Hank, you're over.

Speaker 6 My over is the Lions Packers.

Speaker 3 Ooh, on Monday nights.

Speaker 6 Aaron Rodgers, revenge game. He's got to come out.
He's got to look good. Jared Goff, gunslinger, put points on the board.
Saw it last week. That game was also my over.
It went over by like 40 points.

Speaker 6 So I'm just going to stay with a hot hand.

Speaker 3 I like this pick. It actually is mine as well.

Speaker 3 I'm very nervous about this game. I think I might not watch it because I think Aaron Rodgers would probably throw six touchdowns and everyone would be like, oh, my God, he's incredible.

Speaker 6 What if Jared throws seven?

Speaker 3 Good point. Awesome.
Good counterpoint. Did the Packers get any field goals?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think Mason Crossbar hit one. So the Lions won.
Did the Lions hit their extra points? Yes. Okay, so then, yeah, the Lions won.
Then I would watch.

Speaker 6 They have great kickers in Detroit.

Speaker 3 All right, so

Speaker 3 do they have a kicker?

Speaker 3 They have a kicker. They have a kicker.
A kicker. A kicker.
All right, Bubba, you're over.

Speaker 6 I have Pats Jets.

Speaker 3 Ooh.

Speaker 3 How are the

Speaker 3 Hank and Bubba? And obviously, Billy, you're a Jets fan. How are you guys feeling going into this game?

Speaker 3 Big game. Jets are going to win.
Yeah. So you're upset.
And that's weird because you didn't take them as.

Speaker 3 Well,

Speaker 3 there's less points. Oh, God.
Less points. But if they're going to win, you don't need any points.

Speaker 3 That's okay. I'm purposely trying to lose.
Okay, gotcha. To not get second place.
Okay. That's a good point.

Speaker 3 That will work out. But yeah, Billy's been talking about purposely trying to lose if he's too close to second place.
Exactly.

Speaker 3 It's impossible to purposely lose right now. No, I actually like the Raiders a little more than I like the Jets, but I do like the Jets.
I think the Raiders are going to win.

Speaker 3 So what happens if the Jets beat the Patriots outright? I think they will. Hell will break the rats.
No, I know, but you guys got to bet something.

Speaker 3 Did you guys see that throw that Zach Wilson made when he stepped up in the pocket, made throw while getting hit, got destroyed? Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 3 that's a guy who can beat the Patriots. It's a great throw.
It was almost as good as that throw that he had when he was getting ready for the combine. Right.
Remember that one?

Speaker 3 He rolled to to his left. Rolled to his left, through his right.

Speaker 3 I will say, though, that right now, if we're looking at the rookie quarterbacks and we're doing our rookie Moxie power rankings, I think Mac Jones is number one in terms of Moxie just for that wink that he had last year.

Speaker 3 And the post-game, yeah, the wink and the post-game being like I already started crunching film right away. Exactly.
He's Mac Jones' Moxie City right now.

Speaker 6 This will be, I'm looking right now. I'm doing the little, the best thing about the Barcelona Sportsbook is dragging the, you can change the lines, adjust the lines.

Speaker 6 This will be a Patriots minus nine plus 160 160 bucks.

Speaker 3 Just a blessing.

Speaker 3 Hank, you love underdogs so much that you're making yourself.

Speaker 3 I'm addicted to plus signs.

Speaker 3 I'm addicted to the plus signal. That's the true thing to be.
Hank, can you

Speaker 3 watch it with us on Sunday? Sure. Okay, great.
Because I'd like you and Billy to sit next to each other. Of course.
Billy's got his Zach Wilson jersey ready to go.

Speaker 3 Yeah. It might be in the wash.
Okay, that's fine. We have three days.
Yeah,

Speaker 3 you're over, Pissy.

Speaker 3 You're good.

Speaker 3 By the way, that means that it's in the laundry hamper, and Billy's not going to wash it. He's going to take it out and wear it.
Yeah, that's definitely not.

Speaker 3 Which is a totally not like, I'm not hating on you. That is a

Speaker 3 guy moving. Yeah, it means I took it to the laundromat.
The lady said it's not going to be ready till maybe sometime Sunday when I took it in today, Friday, or Thursday, actually.

Speaker 3 What are they doing to your laundry wash? Well, no, she was the lady. Are you getting a dry cleaner? Are you getting your Zach Wilson?

Speaker 3 The lady's really nice, and I didn't want to rush her, and she had a lot of loads of laundry. You think Zach Wilson is Jesus Christ so much that you're like, yeah, you know what?

Speaker 3 It's going to be in a cave for three days. Yeah.

Speaker 3 That little wrinkle will lead us to greatness. It got a little wrinkled.
The sniff test does work, though. I mean, who hasn't?

Speaker 3 Who among us can judge someone who decides to wear a piece of clothing just based off the sniff test? I sweating it pretty hard last weekend.

Speaker 3 I just feel like jerseys and a pair of blue jeans, those are the two items that you can wear two times in a row and

Speaker 3 you say two times or more. I was going to say jeans? Yeah, I wear jeans like fucking 20 times.
I don't think I've ever washed any of my jeans ever.

Speaker 6 I alternate two pairs of pants all week switching back and forth i'm a very messy eater so i get my the stain is the factor that makes me wash them this was a random thought i had earlier but uh you just you just made me reminded picket what if we just sold shirts and just say i'm getting there i would i'd be down yeah i like it all right stay tuned yeah you might see those soon i think you just gotta nail the font Yeah, and it's more just like, it's like, you know, if someone non-AWL, it's like, yeah, it's self-motivation.

Speaker 6 Right. I'm getting there.
I'm working on myself. Yeah, right.
I'm getting there.

Speaker 3 I totally like that. Twitter font.
Twitter font? Twitter TwitterDM font. New Twitter font or old Twitter font? Old.

Speaker 3 We'll look at a couple fonts, but I like the idea.

Speaker 3 PFT, your over. My over is Chiefs Ravens.
Sunday night special. This is the fuck it bet the over game.
The Chiefs. Agreed.
Anytime the Chiefs are on my television, I'm just like, you know what?

Speaker 3 I'm going to bet the over because you're never going to be out of it. There's always that possibility if the over hasn't hit in the fourth quarter, Tyreek Hill might just go nuclear.
Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 3 It's the basic bitch live tweeting. Patrick Mahomes, this just in, still very good.

Speaker 3 Patrick Mahomes, good at football yep that's going to come out in the fourth quarter if you're if you're behind already also a bonus secret bet I've got a secret bet on this game Ravens plus three and a half I don't know man the Chiefs so here's the thing the Chiefs own the Ravens the Ravens know that the Chiefs own them they've said it like out loud Lamar Jackson has even said it and I was like I think at this point we're we're at the point where the chiefs are like the patriots uh during brady belichek where we can pencil the chiefs into the AFC Championship game.

Speaker 3 This year would be four for them, four straight.

Speaker 3 And I think that when you have that type of expectation, there's some games that you might come out flat, but a Sunday night football game in Baltimore against a team that you want to keep your foot on their neck, I don't know.

Speaker 3 I think it's don't overthink it, Chiefs. So I am overthinking it, absolutely, for my secret bet, but for me, again, it's the, I just saw the Ravens lose in primetime.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 So everyone thinks that they absolutely stink. I don't think that they're very good, but I I don't know, something about being at home in prime time.
Lamar Jackson is still good when he gets rolled.

Speaker 3 Loves it. Loves that shit.
Secret bets do not count for this competition. They do not.

Speaker 3 All right.

Speaker 3 Everyone did their overs, right? Yep. Jake.

Speaker 3 And Billy. No, Billy.
Oh, yeah. And Billy.
Go, Billy. Raiders.
Wait, okay.

Speaker 3 Over.

Speaker 3 Raiders over. Yeah,

Speaker 3 Raiders. Teen Hitsburg over.
Okay, nice. 47.5.
Okay, nice.

Speaker 3 Jake, we already talked about that game, so we'll keep moving. And I'm going to go with New Orleans, Carolina, over 44 and a half.
Okay. Seamus pick six.

Speaker 3 No, don't put that evenly.

Speaker 3 Jake, this is PL. All right.
He was amazing last week.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I agree. I have the Panthers, yeah.
That's the PL era. All right.

Speaker 3 Under, we'll finish off. If we miss any games, we'll come back and hit them.
Talk to them.

Speaker 6 Patriots, Jets, two rookie quarterbacks.

Speaker 3 That's all you got, but stuff.

Speaker 6 You have to adjust.

Speaker 3 Too many points.

Speaker 6 It's a lot of points for two rookie quarterbacks.

Speaker 3 At what point does Bill open up the playbook? When does he start trusting Mac Jones?

Speaker 6 Probably not week two, I would say. Yeah, a lot of dinking, a lot of dunking, probably a lot of like maybe a defensive touchdown or two, low-scoring game, still a Patriots skull fucking.

Speaker 6 Jets will get like three points.

Speaker 3 Okay. I mean, didn't we look it up?

Speaker 6 Bill Belijack versus a rookie quarterback? Yeah. He's like, never lost.
We did.

Speaker 3 I forget the exact record.

Speaker 3 But I think he's, yeah. Rookie quarterbacks don't even cover the spread against him 10% of the time.

Speaker 3 I just made that up, but it's pretty close. Sounds right.
Bubba.

Speaker 6 Bengals, Bears, under 45.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah, we're doing unders now. Yes, yes.
Okay. Okay.
PFT. I don't mind that one, bro.

Speaker 3 My under, I'm going to go Titan Seahawks, 53.5. Ooh.
Yep. All right.
So this game has me in a pickle because I don't know.

Speaker 3 The Titans couldn't have looked worse, and the Seahawks looked very, very good. They did kind of take their foot off the gas in the fourth quarter, I felt like, against the Colts.

Speaker 3 I don't, like, it's so hard to figure out, especially after only one week, maybe the Titans aren't good. I think the Titans are, they're going to be okay.
They're, I mean, the boys.

Speaker 3 They might be my pinky pet. Taylor Luan cannot get any worse than he was last.
Did you see that clip that came out?

Speaker 3 Oh, my God. You see that clip where Taylor Luan.
We are for the boys. We are for the boys.
For the boys. For the record, for the boys.
For the boys.

Speaker 3 When Taylor Luan was talking to Buda Baker about, he was talking about sacks. Yeah.
And he was like, man, I can't imagine giving up five sacks in a game.

Speaker 3 At some point, your quarterback just has to look at you and be like, dude, we got to ship you out of here. Yeah.
Tough luck.

Speaker 3 But credit to Taylor Luan for owning the moment and for logging online and saying thank you very much for, I think it was who did who had the five seconds? Chandler Jones.

Speaker 3 Thank you, Chandler Jones, for exposing me last week. This is going to make me better.
So it'll be a big moment for boys.

Speaker 6 PMT Memes just sent me this stat. The Patriots are a perfect 13-0 against rookie quarterbacks at home under Belichick.
It's not.

Speaker 3 There you go.

Speaker 3 No, I think that's true.

Speaker 6 That is true.

Speaker 3 But it's still a true stat. Yeah, no, it's true stat.
Yeah, no, it's just not applicable at all to one of the best.

Speaker 6 The Bill Johnson's Patriots teams are astonishing 21-6 against rookie quarterbacks since he took over the reins in New England in the 2000 season.

Speaker 3 There we go. Wait, so

Speaker 3 they went from being 13-0

Speaker 3 at home to being 9-6. So they're 9-0.

Speaker 3 22-6? 8-6. 8-6.

Speaker 3 That's a less convincing trend.

Speaker 3 We're not numbers guys, folks. All right?

Speaker 3 But no, say the

Speaker 3 the first one again.

Speaker 3 Well, dude, memes, he's a Jets fan.

Speaker 6 He might have been trying to sell me out here. Literally, it says Patriots are a perfect 13-0 against rookie quarterbacks, and a perfect 13-0 against rookie is in bold.

Speaker 3 Okay, at home. At home, at home.

Speaker 3 Don't read the second part. That's all I need to know.
Thank you. Can we get the game? Well, Belchick used to coach

Speaker 6 for the Jets.

Speaker 3 No, not head coach. For a decade.
Yeah, but he was a coach.

Speaker 6 He called Meadowlands home for a long time.

Speaker 3 That's true. For the Giants.
Yeah, it doesn't matter. Home is home.
This is good.

Speaker 3 We finally get to a point that makes sense here. That makes sense.
That makes a lot of sense. Belchek returning back to the place where his revenge game.
Right. Got it.
Right. Okay.

Speaker 3 What are we on? Unders. Unders.
So, yeah, Titan Seahawks was the one that we just talked about. You see,

Speaker 3 she made her Met Gala dress out of Russell Wilson's Color Rush jersey. Yeah.
That's still in Valor, actually. Yeah, really trying to, really letting us know that you guys are married.
Thanks.

Speaker 3 We didn't know. We forgot.
Just

Speaker 3 it was an all-time look.

Speaker 3 All right. My unders, the Raiders, Steelers, 47.5.

Speaker 3 And then

Speaker 3 what do you have, Billy? I have Eagles, 49ers. Okay.
50. We talked.

Speaker 3 Is that the number? Yep. All right, that is.
And we talked about that game. And now Jake finishes off, and we'll talk about the games we missed.
We're also in with PFT on Seahawks Titans. Okay.

Speaker 3 So there are picks. Games we missed.
Cowboys, Chargers. I don't know what to make of this game because I do think the Chargers are very good.

Speaker 3 And this the game you play with yourself one and over, so and one. Feels like the Cowboys should win this game, but maybe the Cowboys just play shootouts and lose every game.

Speaker 3 So that wouldn't surprise me if that's where they ended up, like a little throwback to last year. When you started out, and

Speaker 3 anytime your team's offense is really, really good, you can convince yourself that you're going to go, you know, like 15-2. Right.

Speaker 3 But their defense stunk so bad last year, and they're missing DeMarcus Lawrence now. Yes.
Demarcus Lawrence had an injury. Also, Leon Lett injured his knee in practice.

Speaker 3 The coach had to get carted off of practice, which you rarely see that. That's bad.
It's bad juju for sure. And I still think that the Chargers are going to end up contending for the AFC West.

Speaker 3 I think that they're a very, very good team. And then I think that's it.
Oh, the Bucs, Falcons. Who cares? Yeah, who cares? That one.
If the Bucs want to win by 40, they can.

Speaker 3 If they don't, they'll win by seven, and everyone will be pissed because they took the Bucs. And they ruined the teaser.
Right. And then Vikings, Cardinals, the other one.

Speaker 3 This one, I actually kind of like the Vikings. I do too.
Because it's like the Cardinals could not have played a better game. They're in my hungry dog parlay.

Speaker 3 It was the perfect game that the Cardinals played. And you know what?

Speaker 3 After the entire week of us talking about Kirk Cousins, wouldn't it be perfect for Kirk Cousins to go on the road and beat the Cardinals?

Speaker 3 And us to be like, well, we were wrong. This is a perfect Kirk Cousins game where he's going to go out, throw it for 400 yards, three touchdowns, and they're going to win by two scores.
Yep.

Speaker 3 And then next week, I don't know who the Vikings play next week, but then he'll have a major comeback down to Earth moment.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 3 and if you look at it, I do believe in this. It's a 405 game.
There's also Falcons and Buccaneers at 405, but then the nationally televised games are going to be Cowboys, Chargers, Titans, Seahawks.

Speaker 3 So that Vikings, Cardinals game will get slipped under the rug. Yeah.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 You won't really remember a ton of stuff. And then you'll be like, wait, oh, Kirk Cousins, nice job.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so knowing Kirk Cousins' record in primetime, this is actually the best case scenario because it's the least primetime game that you can get because it's going to be the game that no one's going to be paying attention to.

Speaker 3 Right, Right. Right.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 3 So that's the whole preview. Oh, I have a can't lose parlay if anyone wants to hear it.
It's plus 300, won last week. No big deal.
Tell me where it loses. Ready? Eagles plus 8.5.
That's adjusted.

Speaker 3 Okay. Okay.
I like that. Browns to win.
Just to win. Bucks just to win.
Yep. Steelers just to win.
That might be the hairy one. No, no.
I think. Big Ben makes a statement this week.

Speaker 3 And then I've left myself a little treat. Sunday night treat, adjusted total over 47.5.
So if you get to Sunday night, you got a little treat sitting there for you.

Speaker 3 Okay, Sunday night, what's the over-under in that again? 54.5. You like it at 54 and a half, so you must love it at 47.
I was going to say the other way around.

Speaker 3 I like betting the Chiefs' numbers when they're higher. Yeah.
For some reason,

Speaker 3 if this game was 47 and a half, it would make me less likely to bet the over.

Speaker 3 But when I see the five, like the 50 next to the Chiefs game, I'm like, I feel like I'm missing out if I'm not betting on it. Fireworks.
But yeah, I think, BitK, you might go.

Speaker 3 Stop. You might not lose a can't lose parlay.
Knock on wood would be nice. Would be nice.

Speaker 3 So check out the Barcelon Sportsbook app. We got a bunch of exclusives up there.
Let's do Fantasy Fuck Boys. Then we have Daniel Ricardo and Bear Grills.

Speaker 3 The marching band's big bass drum, the world's largest drum, is going to be a no-show, the first no-show since 1979, because it's not going to fit through the tunnel at Notre Dame. So

Speaker 3 they won't let him use the main tunnel. Fuck that drum.
Purdue is going to get beaten like some sort of percussion instrument. Too fat to go through the tunnel.

Speaker 3 That's what I'm talking about right now. He's called a Chris Christie.
With my tunnel,

That's true. My sleeper, my sleeper is the water dogs.
You know, I fucking love killing dogs. Whoa, the water dogs.

Speaker 3 You guys haven't seen the documentary and you're looking at me strange, but it's really fucking cool. Nice.
Damn very trash. I saw it on Netflix.
I didn't see it, but I saw it. Does that make sense?

Speaker 3 Exactly. I saw it.
You saw it? But I didn't see it. They auto-played the preview.
I felt like I saw the whole thing. Did you see it? It's really sick.
No, I seen it. I didn't saw it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, well, everyone's in jail after that. Anyway, my sitim.
Wait, spoiler.

Speaker 3 My siddom,

It was a whole weird thing.

Speaker 3 I got that. Hank didn't.

Speaker 3 It was right after she killed Jack.

Speaker 3 All right, don't do that.

Speaker 3 Yeah. I mean, there was a spoiler in the Daniel Ricardo interview, but I had to say that.
You had to say that. I had to say that.
And then she started dancing around.

Speaker 3 I mean, you guys have to be able to do that. You already established yourself as terrible human beings.
We talked to Daniel Ricardo about Max Restoppin running over Lewis Hamilton's head.

Speaker 3 So that you can figure. If you've watched Sopranos, you get it.

Speaker 3 All right, so we never talked about Nicki Minaj's tweet. Was that so? She totally just like blew up her cousin's spot, who was trying to get out of his marriage because he got an STD, right?

Speaker 3 Actually, her cousin is an even bigger loser in all this than we thought because it wasn't even her cousin that had the big balls. It was her cousin's friend that she heard it from.

Speaker 3 But now everybody is like, oh, her cousin's phone is ringing off the hook, being like, hey, sorry about your testicles. And he's like, no, she was talking about a friend of mine.

Speaker 3 Because I just, I saw it and immediately I was like, well, that sucks for that guy because he clearly was cheating on his fiancé, got an STD, and then told everyone that the vaccine made his balls like a watermelon.

Speaker 3 Which is actually a genius thing to do. Right, exactly.

Speaker 3 People believe that shit. If I'm a girl, I would be like, yeah, I got pregnant after I took the vaccine.
It was a weird thing. Yes, yes.
What do you want me to do?

Speaker 3 I got the vaccine and I made a bunch of bad bets. Yeah.
Like, can I get that back?

Speaker 3 Oh, but I do love, we're starting to see a little bit of this week.

Speaker 3 And I knew it was going to happen after week one, and it was Florio that started in on it, ranking teams and saying the teams that are less vaccinated are already doing worse than the teams that are more vaccinated.

Speaker 3 Something to keep an eye on from our good friend, Mike. Way to go, Mike.
Way to go, Mike.

Speaker 3 Okay, should we get to our interview? What do you get, Billy?

Speaker 3 This is a tweet. You give a look sometimes where it looks like you want to say something.
Do you want to say something? Mike, I'm fine.

Speaker 6 My cousin in Trinidad won't get the vaccine because his friend got it and became impotent. His testicles became swollen.
His friend was weeks away from getting married.

Speaker 6 Now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it and make sure you're comfortable with your decision.

Speaker 3 That 100% is STD

Speaker 3 wedding got called off, but we don't want to tell everyone.

Speaker 6 Well, the literal country, like the spokesperson for Trinidad and Tobago, had a news conference and was like, We've done research of every hospital

Speaker 6 the entire Trinidad and Tobago, and there's no cases of like swollen testicles.

Speaker 3 And the best was too, Nicki Minaj. I think whenever someone

Speaker 3 like very famous comes out anti-vax someone will reach out from the CDC being like hey we'd love to have a conversation and she just took that as I got invited to the White House uh-huh in a way she and she and she started picking out her outfit she's like I'm gonna show up there in all pink like Reese Witherspoon and legally blonde and they're like hey we just wanted to we wanted to have a somebody live chat with you from the

Speaker 3 literally it's just vaccine support yeah we just wanted you to log on and talk to someone it's also like if you're gonna lie being like my cousin's friend is you know pretty much foolproof way to say something.

Speaker 6 Like, oh, my cousin's friend did this.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I believe Nikki Minaj. She's telling the truth as far as she knows.
It's the guy who's lying, and that's the problem. He got a spot block.

Speaker 3 I'm not a woman. I don't know how these things work.

Speaker 3 But hypothetically, if your fiancé got giant balls, wouldn't you be like, I made a great decision choosing to marry the guy with the biggest balls in Trinidad?

Speaker 3 Do you think that if you get the vaccine and your balls get larger, do you start like going for it on fourth down? Good question.

Speaker 3 Like, like start just like, or just like, you know, maybe sprinting across a street, a busy street, being like, I'm good. I got big balls.
I actually think this might be a psyop.

Speaker 3 This might be a story planted by Joe Biden himself to make people want to get the vaccine.

Speaker 3 Because knowing guys, as I do, if you hear that there's medicine out there that makes your balls huge, there's going to be some dudes that are going to be like, you know what?

Speaker 3 I could use a little bit of inflation. Problem is,

Speaker 3 if your dick doesn't get big as well, like I just piss on my balls. Would you rather have a small dick, like really small, and small balls, or a small dick and giant balls? First.
I think you got it.

Speaker 3 No.

Speaker 3 If you had big balls next to a small dick, your dick looks even smaller. Yeah, but still if you proportionately.
I would rather have one big one of the two.

Speaker 3 I don't think so. I think you got big-ass balls and a little tiny dick.
Everyone's like, whoa, that's a really small dick. Sound off in the comments.
It's like looking, it's

Speaker 3 like seeing some, it's like standing on top of a building and seeing a little person. You're like, ooh, they look like ants.
Your dick would look like an ant. Showing a tic-tac down a hallway.

Speaker 3 Yeah, standing next to a big, when you go to California, you stand next to the big redwoods. And you look so small.
If your balls are a redwood and your dick is you, you're looking even tinier.

Speaker 3 I still feel like

Speaker 3 you got to take one. You got to take one if you have the option.
All right. That was good, good talk.
Good, good.

Speaker 3 Glad we sussed that out. Let's get to our interviews.
We got Daniel Ricardo, and then we got Bear Grills.

Speaker 8 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 8 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boars Head retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boars Head premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 8 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 8 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 3 Okay, here he is, Daniel Ricardo.

Speaker 3 All right, we now welcome on, uh, welcome back, I should say, a very good friend of ours. It is Daniel Ricardo.
We said last time he was on that when he wins his next race, he's got to come back on.

Speaker 3 Now, I didn't think it would be this fast, but I'm happy because we do root for you, and we're very excited that the Shoey came back out so you won in Monza you're flying high you're a man of your word you came back on uh let's start with the shoey how good how good did that taste first year first win in three years right yeah yeah it was um

Speaker 3 it had been a long time and uh it was

Speaker 3 it was better than i remembered i won't lie um

Speaker 3 oh yeah i i normally describe it as mother's milk so it was um it was it was that and more.

Speaker 3 Did you have a special drink set aside for it, or it was just whatever's closest? I'm going to pour it in here. Whatever's on the podium.

Speaker 3 So normally it's like champagne or sparkling wine, I guess, whatever they call it. And that was it.
So, you know, once you spray it and

Speaker 3 do all that sort of stuff, I then I make sure I keep a good half the bottle left. And

Speaker 3 I took the right shoe off, did that, and then took the next one off.

Speaker 3 And I got the team boss and my teammate to do it so lando and zach did it as well i love it yeah it's great and and then i i heard that one of the rewards for you winning this race was you were going to get to drive dale earnhardt's car is that still on the table absolutely i might even get to keep it now who knows

Speaker 3 whoa i don't know i i'm definitely jumping to conclusions but um yeah that's i'll get to drive that we we may tee it up um around like the austin grand prior i'll see what happens but um yeah i'll definitely get behind the wheel of that in the next couple months.

Speaker 3 I love it. The fact that you keep saying it out loud that you might get the car afterwards, that's good negotiating on your part because you're just speaking it into existence.

Speaker 3 If you say it enough, he might just be like, Yeah, I'm supposed to give him this car. He might give us the car, Daniel might get the car and then give it to us.

Speaker 3 I heard he was thinking about giving us the car. Yeah, that's crazy.
Oh, I know, like, that's what that's what this friendship's grown into. It's it's generosity, yeah.

Speaker 3 We just keep taking stuff off of you.

Speaker 3 All right, so parasites, yeah, the win was uh awesome great race a lot of drama um it also it must have felt great too because mclaren that's their first win since 2012 so that's got to be an all-time party afterwards you get a week off afterwards anyway but was the party did it live up to it having everyone you know celebrating the success together because that is the cool part of the sport is it truly is a team sport when it comes to everyone behind you It is like that's, I think when you, when you have highs like that and you win, like everyone feels it.

Speaker 3 And it's, it's so cool because, you know, like we ticked so many boxes on Sunday to make the win happen. And, you know, like we nailed the start.

Speaker 3 We, like, the team did the fastest pit stop of the race. You know, I think it's our fastest pit stop of, like, it's the first time we've won that award this year.
So to like win it.

Speaker 3 during like the highest pressure moment and for the team to execute, you know, and to take me back out in the lead after the pit stop was was awesome.

Speaker 3 So like everyone, everyone felt like we earned that success and we earned that moment. So, there was some sore heads on Monday,

Speaker 3 but fortunately, there were more of the other members of the team. I was pretty mellow, I won't lie.
All right, so sore heads, you bring it up.

Speaker 3 I would imagine Lewis Hamilton, well, no, the car safety makes it so that his head wasn't sore, thankfully. But your former teammate, Max for Stopping,

Speaker 3 has he ever been in a wreck that wasn't 100% the other person's fault?

Speaker 3 I mean,

Speaker 3 I was in a couple with him, which were definitely his fault.

Speaker 3 But he didn't say that, I would assume.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 What did you think of it?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, I thought that it's like Max obviously drives to the edge.

Speaker 3 Well, actually, here's a question for you.

Speaker 3 It feels like F1, a lot of the guys and the best drivers are basically saying i will push the car i i'd rather crash than finish like 10th i'd rather push it to the limit and play so aggressive on everything

Speaker 3 than uh have a result that i you know i'm not happy with is that fair to say there's definitely there's definitely a few a few drivers like that um and i think like I think that's a good mentality to have in terms of like leaving it all on the table.

Speaker 3 But obviously then it comes like now obviously Max and Lewis are fighting for the championship. So

Speaker 3 I think if that's your like one and only mentality, then it's probably going to bite you more times than not. So yeah, I think it's, it's then just trying to like pick your moments and then

Speaker 3 like,

Speaker 3 I don't know, I don't want to say like cut your losses when you, when you can, but just

Speaker 3 like in saying that, I don't think, I don't think the incident on Sunday was like,

Speaker 3 I don't think it was like stupid or anything like what Max did. It was, I think he saw a little opportunity.
He tried to go for it.

Speaker 9 It obviously wasn't maybe completely there, but yeah.

Speaker 3 I don't know.

Speaker 3 The part that did make me laugh a little bit, we talked about it a few months ago when Max went to the hospital.

Speaker 3 He ended up being fine, but he bitched on Instagram afterwards saying that Lewis Hamilton was celebrating while he was in the hospital.

Speaker 3 And then you flash forward to Monza, and Max's car is literally on Lewis's head, and he just walked away. He just walked away.
Like, it just, he's one of those guys.

Speaker 3 He's so crazy competitive that he, he, he can't even understand the hypocritical nature of that. So I end, I ended up rooting for, I root for Lewis now between the two of them.
Okay.

Speaker 3 I, I, like, I shouldn't laugh because

Speaker 3 like I don't mean to laugh. Obviously, it was, like, obviously

Speaker 3 that were fine in the end. So it's all good.
But, um, but yeah, it's like, I think, like, I, I know Max. Like, I got to, you know, I was teammates with him for a few years.

Speaker 3 And, and, like, that, that's him. Like, he's a competitor, and he'll leave it on the track, and that's it.
And obviously, I guess he still probably carried a little bit of

Speaker 3 maybe like frustration or anger or emotion from Silverstone. So, maybe that was the reason why he was like, kind of like, stuff this, I'm just gonna walk away.
Yeah, I would say,

Speaker 3 my rule of thumb is nine times out of ten, if you drive over another guy's head, it's probably your fault. There are times where it's not,

Speaker 3 but you know, the head, just avoid the head, Phil Leotardo, Exactly, yeah.

Speaker 3 I think as well, like in,

Speaker 3 so I saw afterwards the, so it looked like, obviously, he kind of came over, like,

Speaker 3 I guess, like, ran over his head, but then stopped a bit more forward. And, like, Lewis was, I think, like, there was things of like Lewis trying to reverse and get out.
So,

Speaker 3 look, I don't want to like, I've already got probably too involved, but maybe, maybe Max saw that and he's like, okay, like, Lewis is fine. Like, so I don't know.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 You have to be diplomatic. Yeah, you'll do the trash talking.
We'll trash talking. You just sit there.

Speaker 3 You're like,

Speaker 3 I'm going to stay out of it. I said, Max is a jerk, and you just sat there.

Speaker 3 You didn't even do anything when I said that. So that's credit to you.

Speaker 3 Well, anyway, I will say, like, and this obviously is going to come across as diplomatic, but I'll just say, like, as a general, like, grid and all us drivers, like, for sure, we've got rivalries and for sure we don't all like get on the best.

Speaker 3 But if we, if we knew that, like, if we had a crash and we knew like that guy was injured, like, 100%, I like hand on heart, I believe all of us would go and try and help.

Speaker 3 Like, if we, if we knew it was something serious, we wouldn't just turn our backs. So

Speaker 3 I'll leave it at that. I agree.
Yeah, no, that's fair. I think that makes sense.

Speaker 3 So, so, some, on a little lighter note, when you, you win the race, you do the shoeies, you're on cloud nine, having a great time.

Speaker 3 Like you said, you went out, you partied a little bit, not as much as it could have. What was the process like for you that night of determining which of your party shirts you were going to wear?

Speaker 3 Did you have one that was lined up? One that you would take around with you and say, I'm not putting this one on. The patterns are so complicated.
I'm not even going to wear it until I win a race.

Speaker 3 I really want to make something up here just to make it sound like a lot cooler, but

Speaker 3 I didn't. I didn't.
I didn't have, I didn't plan for it.

Speaker 3 I've been on,

Speaker 3 if it's my defense, maybe, maybe not. I've been on the road now

Speaker 3 for

Speaker 3 like maybe six weeks. So everything's kind of recycled in my bag.
And

Speaker 3 the only party shirt that I traveled with, I actually gave to you guys. So

Speaker 3 I got nothing else.

Speaker 3 Wait, you're going to give me some shit for that, aren't you? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
So

Speaker 3 we got the party shirt. Thank you.
We're going to frame it.

Speaker 3 It's from Urban Outfitters.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Like, you get paid.

Speaker 3 I don't, I never talk about another man's money, but it would be fair to say you're a millionaire and you're, and you're, the, the the party shirts are special shirts and you got like

Speaker 3 so do we get the bad party shirt or is that what you're wearing yeah that's okay

Speaker 3 all right yeah you you guys you guys got the shit like let's let's be real i met you i met you once like yeah sure we got on but you ain't getting no gucci the first time

Speaker 3 all right good that's all i cared about because i just didn't want i figured that was the case but i was a little nervous that like we we talked a lot about party shirts you've talked about on drive to survive it's very funny i was a little nervous that it was like all the party shirts were banana republican and urban outfitters which is fine but you'd have to have a couple that are like oh this is a serious serious party shirt that's that makes you feel a lot better so and you know what on on that like i don't i don't want to kind of give you the weld on the first date if you know what i mean so uh but now that i'm back here second time after a win i'm i might be feeling a little more generous so you might uh let's say you might receive something of a higher standard stuff.

Speaker 3 I like that. Make us work for it a little bit.
What we need to do is you need to come to when you come to New York. I don't know if you ever come to New York, but we need to go party and then

Speaker 3 we swap jerseys at the end. Yeah.

Speaker 3 All right.

Speaker 3 We could discuss this offline, but there's a good chance that we could do this probably sooner than you think. Okay.
Let's go. Beautiful.

Speaker 3 I'm down for it. Yeah.
Because then I don't care what party shirt is because then it's a game worn. Like, you know, we had that.
We'll put them all up. We'll frame them.
It'll be great.

Speaker 3 It'll be like the end of a big soccer game.

Speaker 3 I love it. I love it.

Speaker 3 I was actually looking at the NFL schedule. You might be in New York sooner rather than later, but we were talking about getting you out to a Bills game at some point.

Speaker 3 Is that something that you're still interested in? Maybe

Speaker 3 after the Austin race? Because I saw that they're playing.

Speaker 3 The Dolphins are at the Bills. on October 28th, but then November 14th, the Bills are playing at the Jets here in New York.
We could get you there. We could party with you there.

Speaker 3 I'm not going to like lose time and check my calendar now. Yeah.
Just put it out there.

Speaker 3 As soon as I'm done, I'm going to check. And if that somehow works in with the calendar,

Speaker 3 I'm there. Like, I would love to.
I'd love to. That would be fun.
So

Speaker 3 back to Manza real quick. You said afterwards that you were driving with a primal rage.
What was that? Is that war mode? Were you in war mode? I was.

Speaker 3 And, you you know like anyone that oh i'll put that on silent um anyone that really followed the weekend and followed like the friday practice the qualifying and saw like my interviews and i don't know my kind of demeanor especially the people in the team like

Speaker 3 there was i don't know there was something there was something that just kind of really pissed me off like from the start of the weekend but it was like a good it was a good rage that i had and i used it as yeah i don't know i like used it as energy and i like use it as fuel.

Speaker 3 And I think that's why like both, you know, the Saturday we had like the sprint race, the sprint qualifying.

Speaker 3 I made a really good start. So I kind of used that to like get me there.
And then the main race on the Sunday, I had another good start. And I was, I don't know, like

Speaker 3 it sounds whatever cliche, but like truth is, like, I'm not surprised with the outcome of the weekend because I was like, I don't know, I was, I was a man on a mission and it was, it was really nice to be in that place.

Speaker 3 And I'm glad that I like took it with both hands. Yeah.
What's the difference between a good rage and a bad rage?

Speaker 3 Can you tell in the moment that it's a good rage, or is it something that, in retrospect, you're like, you know what?

Speaker 3 I turned this anger into something that was productive. Yeah, exactly.
That's what it is.

Speaker 3 Like, normally, well, not normally, but a lot of the time, if you like, if you flip, like, you just want to go and break shit, basically. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And you like, you'll let out a lot of that emotion and energy in the next five minutes. And I

Speaker 3 did well at bottling it and using it for the competition, for the race. So, like, I,

Speaker 3 as much as I wanted to do stuff, I channeled it, I guess. And that's when it becomes a good rage.
If you can channel it into something productive, then that's pretty powerful.

Speaker 3 Are you a little bit offended that you didn't get an invite to the Met Gala?

Speaker 3 I

Speaker 3 after seeing some of the images, not really.

Speaker 3 You probably can't wear the Urban Outfitters Party shirt at the Met Gala.

Speaker 3 I think, look, the way some of fashion is now, like, I think you probably could get away with that. That's true.
That is true, like, in an ironic way.

Speaker 3 Like, if you show up in an American Eagle shirt and cargo shorts, and you're like, I'm being

Speaker 3 2004 chic, you know? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's, it's, um,

Speaker 3 it's like, don't get me wrong, I'm sure it would be like an experience, but uh, I don't know, it seems maybe a little,

Speaker 3 a little

Speaker 3 formal for me.

Speaker 3 This is kind of a serious question.

Speaker 3 And I think most people who are competitive or have a job that is public by nature, which we do as well.

Speaker 3 Was there ever a time between wins where you're like, can I still do this? Like, did you have that moment, that self-doubt that kind of creeps in for anyone? And

Speaker 3 did that ever kind of like start to like, hey, what's up? Like, am I ever going to win one of these again?

Speaker 3 Moments of it, yes. Like, moments of self-doubt and of like that kind of deep questioning.

Speaker 3 Um, they did like come up, uh, I guess, to the surface at times, and probably more than any year this year, like the first six months was,

Speaker 3 yeah, pretty tough. Like, I had the odd good race, but typically it was like foreign territory for me.
Like, I'd never kind of consistently struggled for a number of races.

Speaker 3 So, there were moments where I was like, like, kind of what's up um and would question myself but it wouldn't last you know like it would be for you know for a couple hours or I would sleep it off that night and then I'd wake up the next day like no like fuck this shit I'm still this and I'm still that and like then I'd use that as motivation

Speaker 3 so yeah I think fortunately it didn't get to a point where it really pulled me down but um there were moments yeah like i won't i won't deny that yeah i mean that's how i always love that like psychological part of of being an athlete because it's got to be tough at times where it's just like, all right, is this like, what's going on?

Speaker 3 Is this, am I on the other side? And then to actually come back and win a race has got to feel really, really awesome. And reading everything, like,

Speaker 3 I was reading someone, oh, I think it was Charles Leclerc was like, this is there, like, he's back. This is going to be a problem for people.

Speaker 3 Like, that's got to feel good to see people be like, all right. Danny Rick is back and like McLaren's competitive and it's a conversation now.
Yeah, it's, it's like

Speaker 3 it's cool. And

Speaker 3 I guess like deep down for me, I

Speaker 3 and I like what I said after the race, I was like, I never left. And I like, I knew that I'd never left.
And I knew that, yes, it had taken longer to get to this point than I thought in a way.

Speaker 3 But like that, that like, I don't know, that like drive and like fire, I guess, inside me. was there always.
So I just knew that it would eventually come out.

Speaker 3 And I'm, I'm like, I'm stoked that it came out in the biggest way possible, and it was a victory.

Speaker 3 So, like, anyone that questioned or like doubted me, I think now they're like, okay, like, yeah,

Speaker 3 he's here, and he's still the same competitor that we always knew. And it's just like, it's like anything.
Like, people, people just need to be reminded. Yeah.
Awesome.

Speaker 3 So on this podium, it was you and your teammate number one and two. And we're stupid.
We don't know that much about the sport. We know what we see on television.

Speaker 3 We repeat it occasionally, but maybe you can walk us through what that dynamic's like as the race is coming to an end where you're in first place you've got your teammate in second place you're you're kind of you are on the same team but at the end of the day you both want to win the race right what sort of understanding was there was there no understanding at all of let's keep we got a good thing going right now we're going to end up one and two keep it how it is protect Danny because he's in first place and then how much was really you two guys going at it mono omano trying to figure out like for yourselves maybe he's going to overtake me maybe I have to drive against him yeah I mean, the like, so the result was

Speaker 3 like winning was insane. And to go like one-two for the team was kind of even more insane.
So that was nuts.

Speaker 3 I think the, you know, like the team hadn't won in nine years. So, of course, like,

Speaker 3 I don't know if you want to call it ego, pride, or just the competitor. But I wanted to be that guy.
Like, I wanted to be the guy to break the drought for the team.

Speaker 3 So I was obviously, you know, stoked that it was me to do that.

Speaker 3 But then having like Lando come in like second and for us to have such a competitive weekend, like that was, you know, like the perfect scenario.

Speaker 3 I guess for him, the perfect scenario was for him to be first, me second. But, you know, like he got, there was one lap.
I don't know, maybe it was like 20 laps to go.

Speaker 3 Like he got a little bit closer to me. And I think he thought I was maybe like struggling with the tires.
So I think he came on the radio and said, like, can Danny pick up his pace?

Speaker 3 Because like I'm faster.

Speaker 3 Um, and the team were like, Look, like, relax, like, hold, you know, like, hold firm, and we don't want to do anything stupid.

Speaker 3 Um, but then I picked up the pace, and you know, it was it was never under threat. So, it was a 32-year-old, wise, mature, experienced drive from

Speaker 3 me.

Speaker 3 And fastest lap, you get the bonus point for fastest lap, yeah. So, that was like

Speaker 3 that was

Speaker 3 uh, I sound like a dick trying to like talking about myself, but I'll try not to like make it sound arrogant. But

Speaker 3 because it had been for me three years and it's been a tough year and there were still surely people questioning my ability,

Speaker 3 like putting in the fastest lap of the race on the last lap when like the victory is in my hands, that for me was like a little like just

Speaker 3 to say, like, guys, I did not feel the pressure this whole time.

Speaker 3 Just for, just for my peace of mind, I'm going to set the fastest lap to say i told you so and go yourselves that's awesome because that is true i mean you could have just you you didn't have to push it at the last lap you had it so that is that's very cool i love that yeah yeah it was it was my way of saying like i guess i i love the pressure you think that maybe like 28 year old you when you hear him on the radio and you're he goes uh yeah can you ask daniel to pick up the pace a little bit would that have pissed you off or did that get you like modern day you did that put you into a good rage so

Speaker 3 yeah like the first thought i had is like that would have pissed me off because i'm like well no i'm i'm like i'm faster i've got speed here in in my pocket but um but no like that sort of stuff i'm like you know what it's it's cool like it it kind of

Speaker 3 in a way proved to myself that like the race was under control and it also kind of woke me up because yeah there was one lap where i that like one lap i did cruise a little too much and like call it save the tires too much.

Speaker 3 So it kind of woke me up and said, all right, like, don't, don't take the piss here. Like get a move on and just go on.
Yeah, don't put yourself under any unnecessary stress.

Speaker 3 My last question.

Speaker 3 By the way, I actually, we have, I have so much more admiration for you and your fellow drivers because we did, we're not going to spoil anything because the video hasn't come out yet.

Speaker 3 You'll have to watch it. But we did a go-kart race.
We had

Speaker 3 huge recliners, go-karts that were made out of recliners, and we raced them. And I was so sore after doing like 10 laps, and I was out of breath.
And it was, we were going like five miles an hour.

Speaker 3 So I literally walked away being like, I don't know how anyone can race for a living. But what this season,

Speaker 3 it feels like there's even more drama. Have you had the thought like the Drive to Survive Netflix show is going to be even better this year?

Speaker 3 Like, have you, have you had moments where you're like, ooh, this is probably going to end up? Because

Speaker 3 it's weird to watch and be like, ooh, I can't wait to watch that in like three months, even though I'm watching it live. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely. There's,

Speaker 3 it's, it's kind of,

Speaker 3 I mean, and I think that's just the reality of the sport. Like every year there is, there is drama.
And I think

Speaker 3 now that we know Netflix is at like every race, it's kind of a reminder, like, oh, like that, that's going to be a crazy episode. So, um, yeah, it kind of like them being there just highlights.

Speaker 3 everything kind of we already knew about the sport.

Speaker 3 What was really cool is that, so like Netflix, Netflix will follow like a team

Speaker 3 each weekend, you know, and so they're not, they're obviously getting snippets of everything, but they'll then be embedded with a team like kind of each race weekend.

Speaker 3 And that will cycle through and change. And Monza,

Speaker 3 that was like the perfect kind of setting. Holy shit, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 I mean, I can't wait for that because that's, that is absolutely perfect.

Speaker 3 I think not to toot your own horn, but like you are one of the the the guys that i think a lot of people want to watch for because your personality that's great news that's breaking news that's great news yeah well it was cool so like i mean and look not not to like make it about me but i think just for them to be there and to capture like all of the emotion from everyone that weekend and like to really be behind the scenes in like I mean, I think, so it was the first win for McLaren in nine years, but it was the first one, two

Speaker 3 in like 11 or 12 years. So there's like, there's just a lot of like feel-good moments from that weekend that I'm sure they captured.
I love it. Can't wait to watch.
I had one last, last thing.

Speaker 3 I just want to say, like, you're an Australian. I've noticed something recently.
I've become a big believer in Australian breakfasts.

Speaker 3 I feel like Americans right now, we have this stereotype of Australia as being like, you know, snakes, spiders, and steaks. And that's it.
And that's what you guys do in the kitchen.

Speaker 3 You grill up a nice steak. But I actually think what's really slept on is the Australian breakfast.
Do you agree with that take? 100

Speaker 3 100 like any even like here in london like a lot of my favorite breakfast joints will be run by australians like they just it's just what it's what we do um you've got to love avocado though because avocado is pretty much on everything but yeah I'm stoked.

Speaker 3 What's your go-to? What's an Aussie breakfast specialty for you? So I just, I get the avocado toast, but then I just put everything on it.

Speaker 3 You know, the smashed avocado is your base layer, and then you load it up either with, you know, bacon, ham, you name it. You just, you load it up and you turn it into like a giant, giant stack.

Speaker 3 Almost like we do with Eggs Benedict here in the United States a lot, but in Australia, it's just like, okay, it's going to be an open-faced sandwich, but you can put half a cow on it, and it's still a healthy breakfast.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah. And are you into like squeezing lemon over your avocado toast? Occasionally I'll do that.
I like the lime better. I like lime or sometimes an orange.

Speaker 3 I'll put an orange on top of it and then hot sauce. You put the cholula on the top layer, and then you got yourself a great break.
And then you get the pour over.

Speaker 3 The Australian coffee is another thing that I think is slept on, too.

Speaker 3 That makes me very happy. That makes me proud that you've acknowledged and appreciated some of our finalists.

Speaker 3 All right. And before you go, you have to explain one thing.
So, I don't know if you know this about us, but we have a competition every year called Blake of the Year.

Speaker 3 So, we have Blake Griffin, Blake Bortles, and Brooks Kepka, who is an honorary Blake.

Speaker 3 They compete for who's the Blake of the Year.

Speaker 3 Why is your Zoom name Blake Friend?

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 one of my good mates and Blake,

Speaker 3 he works with me. He's pretty much my manager.

Speaker 3 So this is his laptop, and he's signed in with his name.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 3 Do you want to

Speaker 3 say hi? Hi, Blake. Blake, we love Blakes.
Blake,

Speaker 3 you have the best name ever, Blake Friend.

Speaker 3 Come on, say hi. Come on.

Speaker 3 Blake of the year.

Speaker 3 Blake of the year, Blake. There he is.
What's up, Blake? Blake, what's up? You look like a Blake. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Look at that.

Speaker 3 You look like a perfect mix of Griffin, Kepka, and Bortles all into one. Yeah, you're not the first person that told me that, but thanks.
Okay.

Speaker 3 Nice. It's good to have a Blake around, Dan.
So that's

Speaker 3 another Aussie. So a good cunt.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 All right, Daniel, thank you so much. We really appreciate it.
Hopefully, we'll see you soon. Yes, I'm honestly 14th of November, 28th of October.
Is that right? Yeah, those are the two.

Speaker 3 It's like right after the Boston Holocaust and New Mexico City race. Come New York, we'll find a night and we'll go out with party shirts on.
I love the idea.

Speaker 3 All right. Thanks so much.

Speaker 3 Good to see you, man. See ya.

Speaker 3 Congrats again, man. Thank you.
Thank you, guys. Hopefully, we can catch up soon.
Yes. Please.
Yeah. That'd be great.
And sorry about the Bills. We had Josh on.
We went to Bills camp last month.

Speaker 3 You should watch it. It's good.

Speaker 3 He's the best. Oh, shit.
All right.

Speaker 3 It was close, right? Did they lose by like a touchdown? Yeah, they lost by six points, seven points, I think. Yeah.

Speaker 3 They'll be okay. It was tough.
It'll be okay.

Speaker 3 They'll be okay. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 All right, then. All right.
See ya. All right.
See ya, man. Thanks.

Speaker 10 Man, I'll tell you what. When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 10 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 10 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 10 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 3 Now here he is, Bear Grylls. And now for something completely different.

Speaker 3 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. He is someone that everyone knows.
He is

Speaker 3 a true.

Speaker 3 I don't even know. I mean, you're a man's man.
You're the greatest survivalist I've ever seen. You also have a new show out on Netflix called U-verse Wild Out Cold.
It is Bear Grylls.

Speaker 3 This new Netflix show, by the way, let's start here. I watched the preview.
It's a choose your own adventure where we get to follow Bear in the wild trying to survive after a plane crash.

Speaker 3 Uh, this might be the coolest thing I've ever seen. I just popped on the trailer before I sat down, and the fact that we get to choose, like, do you want to eat this bug?

Speaker 3 Do you want to go over this mountain? Do you want to go through this tunnel? Who came up with this idea?

Speaker 9 Well, it's been really fun to do. You know, we've kind of thought of this format for a while, but the truth is the technology hasn't really been there before.

Speaker 9 And Netflix were really encouraging from the early days of U versus Wild when we first did this as episodes last year.

Speaker 9 And I remember making this and they were kind of saying, you know, we are literally building this plane as we're in the air. You know, we're figuring it out on the go.

Speaker 9 But it's always for me felt like the next evolution of survival adventure rather than just kind of watching.

Speaker 9 somebody or, you know, people do this stuff. You're actually kind of involved in the decision making.
And it's kind of like, you know, we had Man versus Wild, which was kind kind of me on my own.

Speaker 9 Then we've had Running Wild, where we get to take some of these, you know, Hollywood uh guys, these kind of often survival rookies into the wild.

Speaker 9 But the next evolution was always that kind of sense of let's take you, the viewer, with me.

Speaker 9 And you are, you are, you know, with me on this journey, you're in charge, and you get to decide, as you say, whether we go left or right, whether we swim the river, whether we make a raft, decisions, priorities, life and death on the line.

Speaker 9 Crazy fun to make. We used our same team as ever.
We had a blast.

Speaker 9 And, you know, when we did the first season of these episodes, it just flew. You know, it was like the number two rated Netflix show at the time.

Speaker 9 And they said, well, let's do a bigger, better, do a movie. We did the first movie, which is called Animals on the Loose.
We learned a lot through that one. That kind of did well.

Speaker 9 But I think Out Cold is really the one we all wanted to make.

Speaker 9 I lose my memory on the journey. So you guys, I lose a lot of my skills.
So you guys have to help me. It goes pretty wild.

Speaker 3 Well, yeah, I mean, my first thing would always just be find the water. Because you always taught me, like, find the river, find a stream if there's water nearby.

Speaker 3 As far as I know, as a survival rookie, you just walk to the water and then the rest takes care of itself, right?

Speaker 9 Well, I think if that's all you learn,

Speaker 9 you stand a decent chance. You know, there's a little bit more to it than that.
But essentially, you're right. It's about having your priorities of survival clear.

Speaker 9 And, you know, in terms of food and water, you can go three weeks without food,

Speaker 9 three days without water, you know, so you've got to prioritize that high. And also, if you're eating food, you're dehydrating faster.

Speaker 9 So yeah, priority actually number one is protection, you know, so whether you're in a car crash, whether you're lost in the desert, whether you're up a mountain in a storm, priority number one, one is

Speaker 9 protection. You know, get out of the, get off the highway, get out of the storm, get out of the wind, get out of the, you know, whatever, the flash flood.
Number two is making sure you're visible.

Speaker 9 There's a lot of people, they'll make a great snow hole. They'll be safe, they'll be protected, but no one's ever going to find them.

Speaker 9 So you've got to set yourself up for rescue, make sure you can be seen. And then number three is water and then

Speaker 9 food.

Speaker 3 What's the longest you've gone without eating food?

Speaker 9 I'm trying to think. Probably, I think probably in my military days, you know, I look back to when I did my first big combat survival training,

Speaker 9 which, you know, eventually I became an instructor there with the British Special Forces.

Speaker 9 But initially the training, three weeks at the end of all the training, we were dropped in the mountains, left on our own, chased by an infantry regiment of soldiers and dogs and helicopters, zero supplies, and just kind of told to get on with it and evade capture and

Speaker 9 make it back to home lines.

Speaker 9 So yeah, that was a long time. But we kind of nibbled on stuff.
You know, you'd find bugs and grubs and roots and berries.

Speaker 9 And, you know, we stole a few kind of farmers' chickens on the roots in the Bavarian mountains. So we kind of, we, you know, we figured it out.
But as they say, improvise, adapt, overcome.

Speaker 3 So, uh, another question about you, like your, your

Speaker 3 beginning and your training.

Speaker 3 What is, I have to imagine there's one mistake that you've made, whether it be on the show or before the show, that you always go back to in your mind, like never make this mistake again.

Speaker 3 What would that mistake be?

Speaker 9 Oh, wow how long have you got you know i mean i would actually say my in

Speaker 9 so much of my life the adventures my career has been built on those mistakes is the truth you know i mean i think when i started out this job and i came out of the military i thought i got a pretty good handle on this i know how to do this stuff a lifetime later i kind of feel actually i'm a bit more of a rookie and uh you know and it's a continual sort of learning process and i've failed my way through so many of these missions uh the other side of it is you could say that adventure really happens, only really happens when things go wrong.

Speaker 9 In that sense, I've had a lot of things go wrong and I've had a lot of adventures. But I think a lot of it comes to a willingness to take risks.

Speaker 9 You know, I think good survival really says do nothing, you know, be safe, stay put, don't run off trying to self-rescue, stay where you are, don't get injured, wait to be found.

Speaker 9 But as we know, that also makes very boring TV, you know, and that's how survival shows were for years. And I kind of came along and thought, let's try and do this a bit differently.

Speaker 9 Let's do the self-rescue route, which says, if you've got nothing and nobody's ever looking for you, what are you going to do?

Speaker 9 You know, all you've got is kind of, you know, some gaffer tape and a broken set of glasses. What are you going to do? You know, I like that spirit of it.

Speaker 9 In terms of answering the question about the mistakes, I think it's probably

Speaker 9 overestimating my skills. Yeah.
Sometimes I kind of think, oh, it's going to be fine. You And it's almost like a thing with the crew.

Speaker 9 When they hear me go, I reckon it's going to be okay. It's like, oh, saddle up.
We've got an adventure coming. You know, the raft's going to float.
Trust me, it's going to be fine.

Speaker 9 The hammock, no problem.

Speaker 9 So I think that has often been the catalyst of many adventures. But, you know, hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Who dares wins has always been a...

Speaker 9 a key mantra for us as a team in the wild and you've got to go for these things.

Speaker 3 And I think a bit like a football tackle, when you half commit that's when you get injured you know when you're all in 100 come on yeah bring it yeah then uh then you get away with it a bit more is your job but not always do you still have do you still have fun at your job because to me it sounds like the just the title adventurer it's something that every kid growing up it's like what do you want to do for a living i'd like to go on adventures and you actually get to do it is it still fun like in the moment as you're doing it or you know when you're taping a show and you're out in the wild it's raining you're tired you're cold or you're like, man, this really sucks.

Speaker 3 I wish I had been an accountant.

Speaker 9 Well, there have definitely been a few moments like that where you definitely think, oh, what am I doing again in this situation, being devoured by mosquitoes, bitten by snakes and away from home and cold and unsure, you know.

Speaker 9 But I think predominantly I love the adventures. It's a great, great privilege.
I love the crew. that we travel with.
That for me is a huge part of my motivation.

Speaker 9 And as you say, I think if you could ask the seven-year-old me, how does he fancy this as a job, you know, climbing trees, you know, jumping off stuff, you know, shooting the rapids, chasing the crocodile, I would have thought, amazing, come on.

Speaker 9 So I will never take that for granted. And the only thing I would say is if I could do all of this stuff without the TV cameras, I would much, much prefer it.

Speaker 9 And it's a running joke with our crew is, you know, how impatient I am. And with the actual filming side of it, I think it actually comes from a lack of confidence in front of the camera.

Speaker 9 I actually really struggle with it.

Speaker 9 I've learned to just kind of ignore the actual camera and just kind of get on with doing the adventures.

Speaker 9 But the number of times we end up going on great adventures with no TV cameras, no iPhones, no GoPros,

Speaker 9 and I do love that. You know,

Speaker 9 that's my happy place because, you know, it's not that, I don't know, I just, I just... I just don't feel very comfortable always in front of a camera.
I remember day one from filming.

Speaker 9 We'd been filming for about two minutes, Man Burswab, episode one. And Simon, the cameraman, a lovely, lovely guy, still a great friend to this day.
He went, well, stop, stop, stop. This is terrible.

Speaker 9 This is never going to work. You know, you're so wooden.
And stop, just, just, just tell me what you were doing when we were walking up the mountain an hour ago and we weren't filming.

Speaker 9 And you saw that kind of snake over there and you got all excited to drag me over to show me a few things and we weren't filming. Just tell it to me like that, and uh, and that kind of changed it.

Speaker 9 And I just then tried to forget about the camera, I'd speak to the cameraman, and that was the early dynamic of Man vs.

Speaker 9 Wild that really people hadn't seen before of that interaction with the camera, which is why on Netflix now it's so fun to go back to that in a way, have that interaction, but this time you know, with these with the viewers, going, Okay, what are we gonna do?

Speaker 3 So, speaking of the camera crew, uh,

Speaker 3 just be honest with us: like, they ever slip you a granola bar when things get really tough? They're like, hey, Bear, don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 All the time. Yeah, I got here.
I got a chewy for you. Just take this because I know that you don't want to eat

Speaker 3 snake eggs for dinner again.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Well, listen, first of all, I have to, I do eat the snake eggs for the dinner, but there's definitely, you know, in the early days, especially, they would kind of go, oh, Bear, that was, oh, man, have some on my Gatorade and have a, you know, and I'd be like, you know,

Speaker 9 but I'm, as the show went on, they kind of had a sick pleasure in like uh

Speaker 3 yeah right

Speaker 9 but then it became a tussle but on um on running wire the you know one thing i've really learned on that show is we've got to keep the guests hydrated and fed you know if it's you know we obviously find bugs and grubs and old carcasses lying around and we have that on the show and we'll cook it up and do it but especially on running wild behind the scenes i really you know as a crew we work hard to make sure not only the crew are well hydrated, but also the guests, because otherwise they just go downhill super fast.

Speaker 9 You know, people aren't used to not eating for a day or two days. And

Speaker 9 in the early days of the show, the first ever running world we did, Will Ferrell, we went old school. We went hardcore.
All he had was caribou eyeballs and that was it. And

Speaker 9 poor guy was like almost broken a day later. So we learned pretty quickly that you got to got to keep the guests hydrated.

Speaker 9 But I think they are often surprised that they go, wow, I thought we'd have some craft services behind the scenes.

Speaker 9 And it's like, no, you're drinking, you're drinking from the cameraman's water bottle and you're sharing, you know,

Speaker 9 Pete's granola bar. So it's,

Speaker 9 it's kind of rough, but they do like it. And I think it's part of the experience for these stars.

Speaker 3 I really wish, I would love to do the running wild and just like we get out there and I just lay down. I'm like, I'm not moving.
And the entire episode is you just trying to tell me to like stop.

Speaker 3 I would just die on the, on, like, in the middle of the woods. I'd be like, go ahead.
I don't care. This is too much.

Speaker 9 Well, yeah, it's happened a couple of times with guests guests where um right at the beginning they they kind of did that and and what happens is we all just sort of you know sit around and kind of you know cajole and push and nudge and nobody's filming and eventually when they're up and moving hanging off the cliffs like right now we're rolling let's go yeah that's awesome but the energy of the show is what is fun that constant movement you know a lot of winging it you know we have a a rough idea of always where we want to go and what we want to do but there's always a healthy amount of improvisation and and that's the fun bit for me for the guests, and for the crew.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but you'd be conserving energy, though. Like you said, the easiest way to survive, just

Speaker 3 staying still. The whole rescuing part, that would be a challenge.
But yeah.

Speaker 9 Well, the thing is, this is what the guests often say. They go, but isn't it, you know, shouldn't we just stay put away for rescue? And I go, well, technically, but this is going to be fun.
Come on.

Speaker 9 So we kind of changed it from just a survival mission to... an adventure.

Speaker 9 Extraction is 12 miles that way. We're on the move.

Speaker 3 When you have a celebrity on the show, like whether it's Will Farrell or if it's Obama, are there times when you're sitting around and you're looking at each other?

Speaker 3 You're kind of, you can tell that they're waiting to ask you a question about when it's safe to drink urine.

Speaker 9 Well, listen, I wish I had a dollar for every time somebody has asked me that, whether I'm in a, in a bar or in the street or also on Running Wild, you know.

Speaker 9 In fact, I remember with Obama, it was the other way around.

Speaker 9 We had the guy who was with us asking the questions, you know, kind of saying, you know, President, what do you think about Bear's decision to go left or right?

Speaker 9 And sort of interviews him along the way,

Speaker 9 was kind of getting really into the role and was gaining confidence with Obama and the Secret Service team. And just at the end, he said, sir, one other question.

Speaker 9 What would it take for, you know, for you to drink Bear's urine? At which point

Speaker 9 I stepped in. Obama's so great.
He kind of laughed.

Speaker 9 I just went, guys, we're done. Leave the president.
We're at it. He's done it.
What a legend.

Speaker 3 All right. So on this show, we've had a debate.
I don't don't know if you saw, there was a study that basically said

Speaker 3 most

Speaker 3 people think that they're overconfident in the animals they could take in a fight. And we went through the list and I think I could take most animals in a fight.

Speaker 3 But what is the one animal that you're like, no chance.

Speaker 3 If I see this animal, like I am getting as far away as possible. What's that animal to you?

Speaker 9 Probably a saltwater crocodile.

Speaker 9 Don't mess with the salties.

Speaker 9 A number of times I've been in the northern territories and you see a little pool of water and you think it's just benign and then all fine and you know i remember coming across one little uh billabong once and uh we hadn't drunk for a while with the crew and we were kind of wanting to refill the water bottles and it was like a scene out of crocodile dundee you know that the crew the crew went i said guys what i bet this is prime salty territory and they went no we're we're enough inland now

Speaker 9 And I said, watch this. And I'd done this a couple of times on other ones and it hadn't worked.
So

Speaker 9 I kind of thought, third time, I wonder, you know, where this is going to happen. I got a rock and just lobbed it into this small, like, you know, swimming pool size, brown water, murky pool.

Speaker 9 And literally, as that rock hit the water, this huge salty just exploded out, thrashed the whole thing into like a jacuzzi, you know, and then 10, you know, five seconds later, it's like a mill pond again.

Speaker 9 It's like, that's why. we don't get in these billabongs.
So if you're in the water with a salty,

Speaker 9 you're in trouble. You know, they're going to get you.
They're going to take you under. You're going to breathe in water, your toast.

Speaker 9 They're going to stick you under a log to let you rot and soften up for a few days. They're going to come up.
They're going to give you a shake like that. Your guts are going to fly out.

Speaker 9 I've even heard of heads flying off.

Speaker 9 They're so powerful, the jaws, and then they just swallow you down and under they go.

Speaker 9 don't mess with the big salties they can take down sharks uh i mean i've seen them take huge fish come up and just go like that and the guts just explode out, you know, from the violence of it.

Speaker 9 And it's choose your battles in the wild is what I'd say.

Speaker 3 Okay, that's, I understand what you're saying, but counterpoint, like, they have no lateral quickness, so I just run around them.

Speaker 9 Yeah, but you're in trouble. Yeah, that is true.
If you're really in that situation, good luck to you.

Speaker 9 But remember, they will often, the way they catch is often with their tail, they'll swipe with the tail. So often I've seen it with people.

Speaker 9 They move around the side thinking they're being smart and then rap with that tail. Oh, clean off your feet, down, bomb, retreat, and you're in the water.

Speaker 3 I don't think you just jump over the tail. Yeah, why don't I just smash the tail, jump on the tail? That's got to hurt them.

Speaker 9 I think you got it. I tell you what, talk as sweet as in that studio, my friend.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, the best part about doing that is that we are just never, like, I'm never going to be in the woods. So I know that I can just talk a big game to all these animals.

Speaker 3 You actually seem like the best person in the world, maybe, to have these hypothetical conversations with about like what animal could defeat another animal.

Speaker 9 So you're on the record as saying like great white shark saltwater crocodile mano a mano fish a fish or whatever they are you're saying that the the crocodile wins certainly with with some some of the smaller tiger sharks for sure you know and a long way offshore where you wouldn't be expecting to see salties so yeah i put them as number one in terms of fearsome predator being around since the dinosaurs you know for a reason and you only have to type into youtube some of the you know croc attacks and it's, yeah, I think the big lesson always I've learned in the wild is respect.

Speaker 9 Choose your battleground. Use the one thing that's better than all of these things, which is our brain.
Be smart. Respect it.
You'll only get it wrong once. And, you know, look at this.

Speaker 9 I got no claws. You know, I've got small muscles.
You know, and yet we're kind of apex predators out there for a reason. So.
It's leave the ego at home. Use your brain.
Think smart.

Speaker 9 Live to fight another day.

Speaker 3 So have you, what's the longest you've sat in front of a television watching like sports or whatever it may be?

Speaker 9 Oh, wow. Um, yeah, I'm kind of not a great, great TV person.

Speaker 9 I love tennis, so I've watched a few marathon tennis matches over the years, but even when they start getting beyond like an hour, I start getting up and I need to move.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 9 You know, it's almost like a sort of joke with our team whenever we do press junkets or whatever. It's like, you know, half an hour,

Speaker 9 open the door. We're out of here for five minutes.
I don't know.

Speaker 9 I like moving. I'm not a great sort of sit-down person.

Speaker 9 But yeah, probably tennis matches.

Speaker 3 Okay. So would it be fair to say then that

Speaker 3 if you put the two of us in the wild, we'd do better than putting you in our world, which is on a Sunday, sitting on a couch and watching no joke, like 12 straight hours of football.

Speaker 3 You couldn't do that, correct? We could maybe take down a salty. You couldn't watch 12 hours of football.

Speaker 9 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, you're right.
You know, this is one to you every time. And I actually, for the record, think you would actually make great survivors.
I really do. I think,

Speaker 9 you know, you got to work well together. You guys work well as a team.

Speaker 9 You got to be able to laugh a lot, the sense of humor, you know, number one in the wide. You got it.
Things are going to go wrong. So I think, don't underestimate yourselves.

Speaker 9 I think you'll be great, not only on the couch with the marathon 12 hours, but also the marathon in the mountains. I think you'd be okay.

Speaker 3 We should do a home and home. I don't think you could, I don't think you could handle an entire because I actually undersold it.
It's 12 hours on Saturday, then 12 hours on Sunday.

Speaker 3 So it's 24 hours basically of watching football on a couch. That's real survival.

Speaker 9 It is. And the commercial breaks.
That's the thing about American football. I mean, you know, as you know, with rugby, with a great English game, you know, the whistle

Speaker 9 starts and the whistle stops. That's it, is non-stop for those 90 minutes But um but American football is every 30 seconds They're having like a tea break.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but we have we have the red zone channel which actually makes it more difficult for us because we have to not only physically be in one place for an extended period But also mentally jump around from different games second to second to second.

Speaker 3 So it's actually it's it's a mental workout as well

Speaker 9 This

Speaker 9 multiple screen. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I don't know how you guys do it. It's tough.
The team are laughing here going there.

Speaker 9 What do you talk about a tea break? They're not sitting down having like crumpy

Speaker 3 scones and tea you know i appreciate you respecting our lives though because we are the true survivors

Speaker 3 yeah and try doing it drunk that even makes it more challenging sometimes the bathroom breaks that you have to get into

Speaker 3 you should do uh you should do a drunk uh drunk man versus wild where people just go and you just drop them off shit faced in the middle of a jungle and see how see how long they can survive i think i'd be pretty good at that i don't know i think that might be a shorter episode actually you know they're what are they do you know the rule of threes for survival?

Speaker 9 So we've done the three weeks without food, three days without water, three minutes without air.

Speaker 9 It's actually three hours without shelter, three minutes without air, but then three seconds without thinking. So if you're if you're smashed, well, take your eye off the ball, it's all over.

Speaker 9 Go in that bill of bombs.

Speaker 3 That'd be tough.

Speaker 3 I want to ask you about your name. You have maybe the coolest name of all time.
How much of your success do you ascribe to getting to call yourself bare grills

Speaker 9 i don't know i think it plays a part i actually used to i used to hate it when i was a kid i used to think oh why can't i have a normal name um

Speaker 9 you know when i was at school and stuff but but i look you're right i look back now and i think you know it kind of works um

Speaker 9 so yeah

Speaker 3 what um what's the grossest thing you've eaten i know you had like the boiled uh rat or mouse in urine but what's the one thing that you think back and you're like never again i cannot do that yeah i've forgotten about that that mouse and urine yeah that was also it was michelle rodriguez urine and uh

Speaker 3 yeah

Speaker 3 yeah yeah yeah

Speaker 9 by the way legend of a girl what what a what an incredible show me fearless and and brave um i don't know maybe like you know raw scorpions and tarantulas and live snakes and

Speaker 9 you know, camel intestinal fluids and yak eyeballs. And I know that the worst, the worst was

Speaker 9 raw goat's testicles.

Speaker 9 And I remember I was in the desert, I was in the Sahara desert with these nomadic tribesmen and they said, you know, you're staying the night with us out here.

Speaker 9 We're going to kill one of the goats and give you the prize testicles. I'm thinking, you know, okay.

Speaker 9 I've learned over the years to be very wary of

Speaker 9 delicacies, but I was a little greener, you know, a little wetter behind the ears in those days.

Speaker 9 But anyway, they got the machete out they killed the goat they sliced the testicle gave me this thing and and um and i'd actually beforehand the goat was like this big and i'd be around the back of it while they were sharpening the knife to check out what how big this goat really was and saw these massive testicles wow this is this is we call it sod's law you know it's like you know the biggest testicles in the sahara desert anyway they gave me this thing like a massive baseball and i thought i'll try and um i'll try and like i try and swallow it i just you know i'll try and squidge it in i don't want to bite into it because it's going to be a mouthful of you know everything bad so

Speaker 9 so i got this thing i thought i'd just take a massive like here we go whoomph and uh and it got about halfway down then it wasn't going down then i sort of threw up and then so i now had a mouthful of vomit exploded sperm and sort of testicle sack

Speaker 9 and uh now i thought i don't want to be rude so i kept it in my mouth and uh and then sort of got it down second time but it was definitely a note to self like do not have the goat bull bull delicacies when next with the bourbon dreiseman in the Sahara Desert.

Speaker 3 Oh my God. I'm going to note that.
I'm going to put that down to never do that. Yeah, we'll eat Skyline Chili, but maybe not the goat testicles.

Speaker 3 Now, conversely, what is the best tasting thing that you've ever had that you thought was going to taste disgusting?

Speaker 9 Well, that's easy. You just got to burn the hell out of it.

Speaker 9 You know, so I've learned, I mean, it took me years and years to figure this out, but whatever it is, just burn the hell out of it and it's okay.

Speaker 9 You know, I mean, I remember scorpions raw are terrible. They have this yellow, like pus inside that is just pungent and stays in your mouth for days.
And you can smell it as soon as you bite into it.

Speaker 9 It's like, boy.

Speaker 9 And

Speaker 9 I always used to be munching down these scorpions. And then one day I sort of started cooking in and I cooked it a bit more.
And before I knew it, they sort of burned all that fluid out.

Speaker 9 And it was just like a burnt sausage on the barbecue. So

Speaker 9 the magic ingredient is burn the hell out of it.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 All right. So I should have asked this to start.
We do a thing uh every year called Grit Week, where we go around to training camps, football training camps, and we go around in a bus in America.

Speaker 3 It's uh the grittiest thing you've ever seen. But you had a book called True Grit.
What, so, what is grit to you? What's the definition, like the bare bones definition of grit?

Speaker 9 Never giving up, you know, that's that's it. You know, grit, grit is resilience, is dogged, never say die,

Speaker 9 you know,

Speaker 9 raw determination, never give up spirit, grit.

Speaker 9 And some of the stories that she and True Grit

Speaker 9 are mind-blowing. You know, I think out of all the books I've done, that's the one I had the most fun doing because, you know, it's the stories that I grew up on, but a lot of people just won't know.

Speaker 9 And they're all, you know, each story is just one short chapter, but they're incredible tales of heroism, sacrifice, resilience. and mind-blowing determination.
So I love it.

Speaker 9 I've read it to our boys when they were young. And

Speaker 9 yeah, some of the stories I think definitely stayed with them.

Speaker 3 It's like I

Speaker 3 mean,

Speaker 3 your life is so different than our lives, but I just keep thinking like true grit for us is like, you know, going 0-7 and gambling picks on a Saturday and then being like, never giving up.

Speaker 3 Like Sunday, I'm back at it.

Speaker 3 I'm going to fucking do it again. I broke my foot.
Big guy got bit by a dog. Yeah.
And we didn't miss a single episode.

Speaker 3 True grit. Grit comes in every film.

Speaker 3 You guys are legends. You guys are legends.

Speaker 9 Well, my nephew, age 15, came to me and he was,

Speaker 9 you know, he was staying for the weekend. He went around the back to have a cigarette.
And I went out, I caught him there. And I said, Hey, Beth, come on, you're better than that.

Speaker 9 You need to knock it on the head with the cigarette.

Speaker 9 You're smoking like you're 15. You're smoking like 30 a day.
This isn't good. And he came out with the immortal lines.
He goes, But Uncle Bear, you've told me since I was a little boy, never give up.

Speaker 3 Shit, come here. He got you.
Shit.

Speaker 3 He absolutely nailed you on that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Billy, do you have any questions? Yeah, we have to. So,

Speaker 3 our guy, Billy, here is,

Speaker 3 I think he kind of wants to grow up to be you. Yeah.
I don't know if he has the requisite skill or knowledge base just yet, but he's working on it.

Speaker 3 So I think he's got some questions for you, if that's okay. He's also military like you.
So

Speaker 3 I'm not.

Speaker 3 He's already very gritty. But go ahead, Billy.

Speaker 3 A couple questions.

Speaker 3 I was just wondering: what are your favorite survival skills that you'd want to tell our listeners that are like exact facts that many people don't think about, but might be super handy if they ever get into some sort of survival situation that they might know?

Speaker 3 Just so you know, Bear,

Speaker 3 just to distill this, what Billy's asking is, can you give him some tips that he can then go tell other people to impress them? Exactly.

Speaker 9 Well, listen, there are a thousand little things from like, you know, being able to start fires with a little bit of chewing gun paper and a battery and tear the foil and connect the terminals into a a light and you can get that into some you know something to burn so you know there are a thousand things from that to purifying water through your underpants through you know to improvising spears out of you know whatever i know there's i mean i always think the

Speaker 9 one thing that's helped me a lot is is more about attitude is this thing of instinct being the nose of the mind and you got to trust it And I think, you know, it covers a lot when you're out there.

Speaker 9 Sometimes we live at such a fast pace and we go at a million miles an hour. But one of the things I love about the wild is that there's time to breathe and to look at things and to feel it.

Speaker 9 And nature's so connected. And I think we sometimes lose touch with that bit in here.
So I think if you're out there, trust your instinct.

Speaker 9 Sometimes it's like you know that's a bad thing doing you've got to back away and find another way around things.

Speaker 9 And so I think a mix of all of those things, listen, we could talk for hours about little tips and tricks. If you're lost,

Speaker 9 don't just plow on. If you're not sure where you are, stop, retrace your steps.

Speaker 9 You know, people make such such a mistake often just plowing on and thinking they've half got it and then making the map, read what they kind of think they see.

Speaker 9 You know, if you're going a hike in the wild, tell people where you're going, when you're due back. So if you're overdue, people know to come and look for you.

Speaker 9 How many times do people get lost and nobody's even looking for them for days? I don't know, a mix of silly, fun things like that.

Speaker 3 What about just crying? Have you ever advised anybody just like, hey, just sit down and just start crying?

Speaker 9 Dehydrates you further, wasted energy.

Speaker 3 Okay. Don't cry.
Don't

Speaker 3 Drug it in. Drug it in.
Drink your own urine instead. Yeah, drink your own urine.
I do have one other urine question.

Speaker 3 I don't mean to really harp on the piss questions, but the all-time moment for me, because I did watch a lot of Man vs.

Speaker 3 Wild, was when you used the snake as the camelback and you filled it up with urine and you tied him off and you carried him around to drink your own urine out of the snake later on that day.

Speaker 3 Is that something that you just thought, like, was the episode going, like, was it a little bit too boring?

Speaker 9 And you're like, you know what i'm gonna really spice things up today and i'm gonna make my my portable water bottle out of the snake or was that something that you had planned ahead of time first of all i'm i'm super touched you remember that sort of thing you know i i love that sometimes we're out there and we're doing these things you think does anyone ever take any notice of this stuff so first of all thank you um but um

Speaker 9 Yeah, I think at the time it was like I caught the snake. I needed a pee.
I was well hydrated at the time. My water bottle was full.
I didn't want to waste hydrated pee.

Speaker 9 And it was like, you know, my brain works out there. You know, very quickly, it was like, let's not just throw this skin away.
Let's

Speaker 9 gut it. And then we'll tie.
Then we'll use that. That will keep my neck cool.
I've got fluids for later. And I've got the meat keeping cool in the bottom of the backpack.
So

Speaker 9 as we said, yeah, improvise, adapt, and overcome is always the heart of so much survival.

Speaker 3 It was an all-time moment of television for me. Yeah.
It was.

Speaker 3 All right. So my last question.
Everyone, go check out U-verse Wild Out Cold. It is out on Netflix on September 14th.

Speaker 3 If you had to pick what the worst situation is, hot, super hot, super cold, or wet, which one are you trying to avoid the most?

Speaker 9 Well, the worst is wet and cold. Yeah.
You know, because you can be super cold in the Arctic, but if it's dry,

Speaker 9 as long as you're dry, you can deal with that sort of dry cold.

Speaker 9 The extreme heat is really hard, you know, but for me, I got quite a lot of frost snip in my fingers and toes on Everest many years ago, and that still reminds me every day when I'm in the cold.

Speaker 9 It never lets me forget. But the real killer is the wet and the cold.

Speaker 9 And that's why technically there's parts of the UK and Scotland that they actually term as Arctic landscape because of that driving wind and sea spray. And

Speaker 9 you can be finding yourself in trouble very quickly with wet and cold.

Speaker 3 Would that be like the highlands or is there one part of the world that you would say is like, if we take away, eliminate the poles, what is the worst place to be stranded?

Speaker 9 well i think coastal mountains you're right can be can be can be really unforgiving like that because you get all of that rain and that strong winds it's why you know mount washington on the east coast why you know i think the highest wind speed in the world was recorded there not on in antarctica you know and it's that so that could be a dangerous combination but as you know you don't have to go far in our worlds or from our homes to find yourself in great wildernesses and look look at the US at the moment some of the wild sort of fires and you know you live in a truly beautiful spectacular, incredible country where wilderness is on your doorstep in a heartbeat.

Speaker 9 And it's why I love the U.S. so much.

Speaker 3 You should just go to the Times Square subway station. Yeah, just try to survive there for a while.
I really want to see Bear do like a regular week.

Speaker 3 Like you wake up, you have to get on the subway, you have to go sit at a computer for 10 hours, you then leave, you maybe eat some chicken wings, have a couple of beers at happy hour, try to fall asleep.

Speaker 3 Like, I want to see Bear do a regular nine to five like us, not like us specifically but like most of our listeners and see if you can survive that I don't think you can I think you're probably right I think every man has his breaking point you know hey I've worked hard all my life to

Speaker 9 to to to avoid avoid that um it hasn't always worked out but we've had a lot of fun on the way

Speaker 3 I love the idea that Bear can like eat a snake kill a kill a gator do all these things but if you ask him to be on a conference call for an hour he's like nope i'm out it's a rule of three you get three hours you have have to have a coffee, a cup of coffee every three hours.

Speaker 3 And then every like three seconds, you have to think about something that's not work related. That's how you survive.
Yes.

Speaker 9 You got it. Hey, it's a bastard rule of three.

Speaker 3 Yes, yes, exactly.

Speaker 3 All right. Well, Bear, this has been awesome.
We really appreciate it. We're big fans.
So everyone go check it out. U-verse Wild Out Cold September 14th on Netflix.

Speaker 3 Thank you. And if you're ever in New York City, which I don't know if you even come here, but we'd love to have you come by the office.

Speaker 9 I come to New York. I'm looking you up.
I'm going to need a local survival guide yes

Speaker 3 come sit and watch 12 hours of football with us

Speaker 3 i don't survive i don't think you have the guts bear hey i'm not gonna make promises i'm not gonna keep i can do it all right thanks so much bear see you bear

Speaker 3 Bear Grylls is brought to you by our great friends over at Roman swipes. Most guys have tried different ways to last longer in the bedroom, but thinking about baseball doesn't always work.

Speaker 3 That's why the people over at Roman, an online men's health company, are changing the game with Roman swipes. It's the secret to longer-lasting sex.

Speaker 3 Roman swipes are a clinically proven way to last longer in bed. They're effective, they're easy to use, they're fast-acting, but they don't require a prescription.

Speaker 3 Roman can ship swipes to you in discrete, unmarked packaging, and each swipes packet is small enough to hide in your wallet for whenever you need it. They're super easy to use.

Speaker 3 You just take the swipes out of the packet, you swipe it on, you let it dry, you're good to go. That's it.
Go to getroman.com slash take.

Speaker 3 You can get your first month of swipes for just $5 when you choose that monthly plan. Go to getroman.com slash take.

Speaker 3 All right, let's wrap up. We got Fire Fest of the week, and then we'll send you on for a football weekend.
We'll see everyone on Monday. Reminder, no guests on Monday, but we do recap every game.

Speaker 3 It's fucking awesome. Favorite shows we do.

Speaker 3 And then we got some good guests coming up next week. Actually, one of the most badass guys we've ever had on the show.
That's a fact.

Speaker 3 That is a fact. Hank, your Firefest of the Week.

Speaker 6 So you guys know I've been golfing a lot lately, trying to get out there as much as I can.

Speaker 6 Our co-worker and friend Caleb was in town this week and we were talking at the office and we were like, oh, we should play Thursday. And he was like, oh, what about Thursday morning?

Speaker 6 I was like, fuck it. I'll do it Thursday morning at like 8 a.m.

Speaker 6 And which was obviously way earlier than I like to get up. Same with Caleb, but we were, you know, both committed, going to go out there.
Went to sleep early last night, woke up at like 7:15,

Speaker 6 but I was fully awake. And then I checked my phone and saw he had called me at like 3 o'clock in the morning.
And it was like, yeah, there's no way I'm coming out.

Speaker 6 And so then I was like, oh, well, I'm not going to go by myself. But I was already wide awake.
So I've just been up all day. I'm going to be up late tonight.
And I just didn't even go.

Speaker 3 One,

Speaker 3 you got up at what time?

Speaker 6 7.15. Nice.

Speaker 3 Welcome. Welcome to my world.

Speaker 3 Sucks. Yeah, no, it's not fun.
It's not fun. It's way too early to be up.

Speaker 3 Two, he canceled at 3 a.m.

Speaker 6 Yeah, he was like, he FaceTimed me and then texted me. He was like, yeah, there's just no shot.
I'm going to make it up at 8 a.m. Which I kind of was expecting, but it wasn't surprising.

Speaker 6 I was kind of just like, you know, good for us for even trying. But

Speaker 6 it was unfortunate that I got up before I checked my phone. Like, I got up, I think, like, jumped in the shower for a second.
That was tough. And then checked my phone before I went and was around.

Speaker 3 Because you probably would have been happy if you had woken up and before you got out of bed. You look at the phone, see the cancellation, you're like, sweet, I get to go back to sleep.

Speaker 3 Correct, I would have been thrilled.

Speaker 3 But since you're awake and milling about, that's tough.

Speaker 6 It was tough.

Speaker 3 All right, PFT. I'm sorry, Hank.
I had a pretty clean week. I'm sorry, Hank.
Thank you. Didn't shit myself this week.
Feeling good, feeling clean.

Speaker 3 So, my fire fest is going to be for a friend of the program, Ronaldo. Cristianano Ronaldo, he had a pretty bad fire fest this week.

Speaker 3 I don't know if you saw this, but he's moving to Manchester, which is in south London, and he bought a mansion there, as one does. And it turns out that

Speaker 3 there's a bunch of livestock near his mansion that have kept him awake all night long. So he had to sell his mansion because the sheep were too loud, which tells me he's not a lion.
Yeah, fact.

Speaker 3 That's all I get from that news. But Cristiano Reno, thoughts and prayers to him.
He's purchasing a new mansion, one that's farther away from the farm animals.

Speaker 3 So hopefully he gets settled in there pretty quickly. So I don't know how he's even, you know, like that's got to be just absolutely spirit-crushing for him.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Thoughts and prayers to Cristiano Ronaldo. He did have a sick tap in, though.
Oh, dude, duh. That's all he does.
All right, My Firefest. I had a pretty good week, too.
The only thing I'd say is

Speaker 3 like a,

Speaker 3 like, we got back into football mode, where it got back into football schedule. And

Speaker 3 like when you get a guy, a veteran in the NFL, and they're like, you know, I can't do this forever. I've had that thought.

Speaker 3 Not saying that that's, you know, but the thought has crept in my head, which is a scary thought. Because it's just so much time.

Speaker 3 Football is just a lot. It's a lot.
It's a lot. It's a lot.
The content machine doesn't slow down. So, yeah, I've just been like, wow, man, I'm sore.

Speaker 3 I think also because we went go-karting, I got really sore from that. Yeah, Billy and I were talking about this the other day, but Wednesday is really the only day that you can do any chores.

Speaker 3 And that's like the opposite for me, but yes.

Speaker 3 Because that's when you tape your seven shows. Yeah, right.
So that's where my brain is starting to melt.

Speaker 3 In the mind of a casual football fan or like a medium football fan, Wednesday is the day that that you can take care of the Oblos. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 And that's until Maxion. That's until Maxion, and then it's all out the window.
Yeah, then it's no chance.

Speaker 3 So the light in my shower went out, and I didn't know why, but I was showering one morning, and I realized it was because my ceiling sort of caving in from all the rain we've been getting recently.

Speaker 3 But because the light was out in my shower, I didn't realize that some of the ceiling was actually crumbling down onto me while I was showering.

Speaker 3 So then I got out of the shower, was about to leave, and then I realized there's just a ton of dirt in my hair

Speaker 3 from the ceiling.

Speaker 3 That does suck. What are you going to do? Well, I went back in the shower, showered it all out, and then I took out the ceiling tile that was crumbling.
And you're never going to replace that?

Speaker 3 No, I have a super. So I texted him.
Yeah,

Speaker 3 I'm sure he's going to be really responsive to the guy that has a squat rack in his kitchen. And a hedgehog.
He's like, oh my God, that place is turning into a zoo.

Speaker 3 I better get over there and fix that soon actually you know what's gonna happen i guarantee you billy's got a nice little outdoor spot billy's just gonna hook up a hose yeah and that's gonna be your shower eventually no i mean billy also could totally just like take apart the entire ceiling of his shower and just do that for the rest of his time looking true it's just a decorative ceiling there's pipes above it it's already going there when you think about it all ceilings are totally decorative it's kind of cool right like exposed pipes that's a cool look if you have a pipe problem yeah yeah uh billy so

Speaker 3 in this new shower that you have where you're seeing the ceiling or the pipes right now, why don't you just become a bath guy? I don't have a bath. Oh, that's tough.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you're definitely going to start hosing yourself down outside. Yeah, and I also strain my quad.
I'm sorry. Can't run.
Apologize. Beta.
All right, Jake.

Speaker 3 So I'm fasting today?

Speaker 3 Yum Kippur?

Speaker 3 Are you actually? This is my first time actually.

Speaker 3 Why did you decide to do it now? I felt like I give it a shot. I always give up at like lunchtime, but

Speaker 3 that's just called

Speaker 3 a normal day. Like, I fast every day until lunch, too.
Yeah, I just forget to eat. Yeah, and then this afternoon, Billy's Chick-fil-A comes and he shoves it in my face.
And did you eat it? No. Oh.

Speaker 3 But Billy, that's very offensive. Very offensive.
Religious

Speaker 3 discrimination. Oh, I actually forgot one thing.
Billy wants to eat our fatter co-workers. No, that's true.
Yeah, he said I would choose Doug's and Frank the Tank to be locked in a bank vault with

Speaker 3 so we could eat them. And then he deleted the tweet before people could see it, but people saw it.
No, so what happened was Stu Fire wants to throw a huge party in a bank vault.

Speaker 3 It sounds like something Bane would do. I know.
So I'm thinking about that, and I'm a little claustrophobic. I was like, well, what if we all get locked in there? Like, what the fuck?

Speaker 3 Like, it's a huge bank vault. Like, no one can hear us scream.
Yeah. I was like, well, and he had preemptively invited Coach Dougs and Frank the Tank.

Speaker 3 So I was like, well, you know, we know Frank the Tank and Coach Dougs are going to be there. The great first two people to eat if we like were starting to eat them.

Speaker 3 What you did was when Dwight gets stuck in the elevator immediately establishes a piss corner way too early, you just established like, okay, I'm going to have a luau with these two guys first.

Speaker 3 He said the reason he invited Frank and Dougs was first was just in case we all get locked in, we eat them first.

Speaker 3 Also, you could have just said one of the two of them. Yes.
You didn't have to call both of them. And he also could have been like...

Speaker 3 Not the only reason Stu invited those two fat guys is so he could eat them.

Speaker 3 I thought it was funny. Look,

Speaker 3 you tried to make people laugh every day. No, but the problem was, it was funny until you deleted it because then when you deleted it, it was like, wait, was that a real thought? You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 Like,

Speaker 3 you wouldn't delete a joke. You'd delete a real thought that you accidentally said out loud.
It's the streisand effect. Yeah.
Calling way more.

Speaker 3 I had some that tweet, I would never have thought of something. It's because I saw it deleted.
I was like, wait, Billy does want to eat these guys. No, it was just the responses were pretty.

Speaker 3 Like, that's not cool. But it was funny.
Eating people?

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Tell the fuck off. I have a group-wide Firefest 2.
The importance of the MVP award has been tarnished. MVP.
Yeah. And they're doing one weekly.
Yeah, I don't like that. It's done with that.

Speaker 3 Not my MVP. I refuse to.
Until Mitch can win one. I don't recognize this MVP as existing.
Until he wins one. Until Mitch wins one.

Speaker 3 Shout out Kyler, though, for giving himself the award in that video. Yep, Jake, what do we say? Do we say shalom?

Speaker 3 How do we say for Yom Kippur? It's not happening Yom Kippur. You don't say anything.
You just say, like, have an easy fast. Have an easy fast.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Pretty much there. I'm going to be the first person ever to break my fast at David Busters.

Speaker 3 We need a fast. That's definitely not true at all.
No way. Most people you just sit at home eating bagels.

Speaker 3 There's definitely some free that just loves David Buster. 69.
I love David Buster. Sean Metforce.
Chimps are the most warlike

Speaker 3 of the great apes.

Speaker 3 69 and fucking 67. 99.

Speaker 3 They should open up a specific Jewish Davin Busters and call it Star of David and Busters.

Speaker 3 There's a free little idea for you out there.

Speaker 3 Chimps recently killed a bunch of gorillas in a war.

Speaker 3 You've said that on like four different podcasts. No, I didn't.
This is the first time. Love you guys.

Speaker 3 Shy it away.

Speaker 3 I've been coming for your love of please take

Speaker 3 on

Speaker 3 me.

Speaker 3 Take

Speaker 3 me on.

Speaker 3 I'll be gone

Speaker 3 too.

Speaker 3 Needless to say,

Speaker 3 I've already said it's burnt.

Speaker 3 Stole it away.

Speaker 3 Telling them life is okay.

Speaker 3 Say up to me.

Speaker 3 It's got better to be safe and sorry. Stay up to me.

Speaker 3 It's for better to be safe and sorry. Take

Speaker 3 on me.

Speaker 3 Take

Speaker 3 me

Speaker 3 on.

Speaker 3 I'll keep

Speaker 3 on

Speaker 3 your pain.

Speaker 3 All the things that you say,

Speaker 3 just to play my worries away.

Speaker 3 You're all things I've got to remember. Leave shine away.

Speaker 3 Lovely coming for you anyway.

Speaker 3 Leave shine away.

Speaker 3 Lovely coming for you anyway.

Speaker 3 Take on

Speaker 3 me.
