Bye. We'll be it higher.
Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we'll take it higher. It's Pardon My Take, presented by Barstool Sports.
Welcome to Pardon My Take, presented by Dave & Buster's, where we are right now. Go to a Dave & Buster's right now and watch some football.
Today is Fri-yay, September 17th. And holy shit, that Thursday night football game was hilariously stupid and awesome.
It was insane. Everything happened.
Every possible thing happened in that game. Billy kept saying there's going to be another fuck shit thing that happens at the end.
There was so much fuck shit that happened in the fourth quarter I don't even know where to begin I all I know is I died I came back to life I died again and then I came back to life and then I died officially and then I came back to life again and then I won it was it was crazy it was by the way if there's any echo uh the first 10 minutes of this show is at Dave and Buster's we're at Dave and Buster was awesome. Um, but it was a crazy game.
Taylor Heineke went from looking like the greatest quarterback ever when he shredded the Giants when two plays down, 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. You brought him into field him into field goal range 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'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 would like to do that.

Unfortunately, it's not within 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.

Taylor Heineke, I think Taylor Heineke has it.

I don't know what it is. He's got something.
He's got it. The Heineking is what they're calling him.
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. I didn't, 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, that was a weird one. Yeah, it was a crazy game.
It was a crazy... 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, it's a standalone primetime game.
It is almost always guaranteed be fucking awesome because that game ruled it was chaos 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 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 that's what next gen stats taught us last year he was faster than lamar jackson oh is it is it discrimination that daniel jones was not asked to convert to wide receiver when he was going through the nfl combine listen it was um i mean he's yeah if you're i don't i mean the giants, they got their hearts ripped out, stomped on, everything.

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?

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 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 I like Saquon Barkley I just it's weird because I think everyone realizes that the the capital they used on him is crazy i think all giants fans know that to draft a number two but it's also like you watch him play and their times you're like wait what is he looking at yeah he doesn't see the hole that well but that that might be something that comes back after he gets a couple more games and he's a better offensive line i actually i'll admit that his quads look smaller this year yeah they don't his legs he doesn't have the tree trunks that he used to have his new shoes are awesome though i'm gonna buy them when they come out so shout out saquon for that at least you got that going for you yeah new shoes look good um i mean credit to the giants i actually thought they played really well there were four or five times so mean don't that they should have won the game you know what you just did doing a jake yeah you're doing a j you're doing a Jake Marsh. I'd like to wholeheartedly triple sportsmanship everybody and say congrats to the Giants.
Well, I'm giving them the win, Big Cat. I'm saying congrats on the win.
But you just said, like, if I was a Giants fan, I'd be puking my mouth. I know.
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.
Don't say that. Just say they won.
They won. They deserve to win.
They won. You said something earlier, like the winner of this game might go on to do something big loser it's gonna be tough i during the week i i thought this was going to be a must win for the football team and then earlier today i looked at their schedule and if they lost this game it was season over because they have a really tough schedule for it is week seven weeks 17 weeks but no if you look at their schedule the next seven weeks they played all the best teams in the NFL.
Yeah. 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. 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.
But yeah, I mean the season was over when they missed that field goal. Crazy.
And then, you know what's even crazier?

The guy that jumped offside, that's the guy that the Giants drafted

with the pick that they got for Odell Beckham.

Damn.

It was weird.

But, again, the Giants should have won that game.

They should have won that game.

Giving it to them.

Yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, if you're a Giants fan, that's a heart-breaking loss.

I guess the only solace that I'll throw out there for Giants fans, which I think every fan can relate to this, 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. So at least there's no worse feeling than losing on a Sunday or Monday night and being like, well, that's all the football for the week.
You at least have this weekend to watch football. 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. So, yeah, you covered three and a half.
Good teams win. Great teams cover.
You're a great team tonight. Great team.
Yeah. The rest of the Giants.

Also, so let's quickly, before we get to the picks and everything,

shout out again, Dave and Buster's awesome time.

You guys played games.

I was saying to Hank it was a very – sometimes there are moments where it's like,

oh, I might be – I am a dad, but I really feel like a dad

because you guys went and ripped off some games at halftime,

and I just went and sat on the toilet by myself and just enjoyed peace and quiet for a minute. But you guys look like you had a great time.
I had a great time. Went out and played some of the games there.
They have a couple football games that I played. Played Halo with Billy.
Billy, as a Marine, really excelled. He's got great sharpshooter skills.
Great sharpshooter. Yeah, he's deadly accurate.
And then we went and played some jurassic park did some other uh like basketball type games it was fun it was a really good time when you put a power card in my pocket i feel like i'm pac-man that just ate the big the big pellet now i'm chasing the ghost i i think the the one thing i can say about david busters like you know obviously the last couple years have really sucked and you know people haven't been able to go out and enjoy themselves. When you go into a Dave & Buster's, you immediately are like, oh, yeah, this place is fucking awesome.
There's just fun shit everywhere. There's TVs everywhere.
I don't know. If you're trying to treat yourself, go treat yourself to an afternoon or an evening at Dave & Buster's, and I guarantee you have a great time 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 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 that's that's the that's the saddest thing ever when I look up at the churros and I'm like I'm in no no mood for dessert, but they're really good.
So I better have a churro. I'll just say it right now.
The goal to skydiving took a hit today. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. It took a hit.
But we'll get back on track. You know what, though? It's like we were on a little mini vacation today.
Yeah, right. We're out on Long Island? In Long Island? Inside of Long Island.
In Long Island. And we had a great time.
All right. Well, congratulations to the Washington football team.
Season back on. Congratulations to the New York Giants.
Giants, you have 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. All things considered.
As far as bodily fluids go, that's not a bad one to do. I think that's what happened to you tonight.
But all right, let's get to the rest of the picks. Daniel Ricciardo, Bear Grylls, Firefest.

but by nature, that's kind

of what we do.

Um... We have to try to build a base of knowledge off of one week, and we also have to say to ourselves, don't overreact.
But by nature, that's kind of what we do. All right, so 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.
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., so that's New York, to L.A., about a 40-hour drive with each other. And after one week, there's not a lot of separation, obviously, because there's four picks.
We've got Hank, the standalone leader at 3-1. Great job, Hank.
Pop it up for our boy, Hank. Good job, Hank.
Our boy's wicked smart. Big Cat and PFT, 2-2.
That's where I want to be. 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. You go.
All right Alright, I'd have to go. And then you and Hank, boys are back.
Myself, Billy, Liam. One and three.
No, you'd have to go. I beat you.
Oh, I finished in second place. Fuck! This is so stupid.
It is tough. 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 I would just stay in the hotel and the suite in the Bass Pro Shop.
Yes. We stopped there on our Benchmob trip last week.
Incredible place, right? Did it take your breath away? It was awesome. It's like the Guggenheim, the Pompidou Museum, and then the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee.
By the way, shout out Benchmob, Urge Not Given, Brad Calipari on the show yes wow okay

that's awesome tune in

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 this is our own personal Tim Kirchhen

you just never know what's gonna happen right

alright so let's preview week two

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

I 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. Hank.
Oh, wow. I thought I was reading the wrong notes.
My favorite's the Broncos. Oh.
Pretty gross. 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. Mine is six.
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.
It's bad how much I love the Jaguars. So I feel great about this pick.
Basically, week two, I'm like, who looked the absolute worst? They can't be that bad. For the record, since we are tracking this stuff, one trend to notice, too, was last week when you guys were all on that 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.
So you guys all liking. So you really went for it.
No, I'm just saying. Usually when you two are like, I love the Jaguars, I would be lying if I said that didn't make me feel better about my pick.
So I think that the Jaguars are in our position this week. Well, first of all, it's Trevor Lawrence's first home game, right? Yep.
Second of all, I feel like the team needs to win to keep Urban Meyer around. Well I was going to say, I disagree with that because Urban Meyer came out and said that he's not interested in the USC job and you have to trust a guy like that.
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.

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.

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.

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. We don't trust this guy.
And if he says, if he equivocates on it, doesn't give a direct response, then everyone's like, look, he's equivocating, he's going to go. The only answer that I would have accepted if I were Jaguars fans is him just saying, we're focused on the Broncos.
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.
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. So if you're Tony Khan and you're in charge of AEW, at what point do you have to resort to physical intimidation? And just be like, look, if you take the job, CM Punk's going to chokeslam you through a ring.
Do you think Tony Khan maybe has offered Urban Meyer a shot at the title? 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...
Family motivates him. 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? 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. It also begs the question, he was definitely going to keep the lake house which is that's not really hard to do i feel like he threw that in for himself it also begs the question he was definitely going to sell the lake house right before he included that 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 yeah he's already achieved goal number one keep the lake house it also said uh eat three meals a day that was on his Which I don't know which way, because if I put that in my contract, he'd be like, you promised not to eat five meals anymore.
Right. So I think he was probably eating one.
He was OMAD. He probably eats like one meal a week, like a snake.
Yeah. 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. I promised to attend one of your sports games per year.
Yeah, I was in there. Yep.
Minimum. All right, Bubba, your favorite.
Okay, five and a half. All right, five and a half, Hank, for Denver.
That's the official line right now. I have Rams minus three and a half.
That's my favorite. Ooh, I hate it.
I hate it too. Hank, you're going to bet a favorite? No, I hate it too.
Yeah, I I hate it, too. That's probably a good sign for you, Liam.
That's one of those games that the Rams looked awesome, but I think the Bears might be that bad. The Colts look bad, but the Seahawks might be that good.
Again, this is building an entire house of knowledge off of one week. Yeah, we're doing a lot of the

transitive properties. But this team

beats that team, and now that team beat the

other team. 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. Now that being said, my favorite

is the Bears. Oh, 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. Also, Andy Dalton revenge game, betting on the Bears.
And I love betting on teams that come off big primetime losses. Yes.
Because 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. 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, 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.
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.
But 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? Will happen. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
I think Andy Dalton winning this game and then, like then continuing the start, you know what I mean? 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. Yeah, I could also see the Bears putting Justin Fields in for a play and then giving him zero protection, getting blindsided, and then Matt Nagy's like, see, he's not ready for the NFL yet.
Well, 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. He's a gimmick pack.
If he's a chess piece, he's a pawn that is like two steps away from getting getting promoted to be a queen but you just won't advance him a square because you're too stubborn to do that yeah i'm pretty sure he's just trolling everyone at this point that i hate him so much all right billy your favorite my favorite is the bills oh a little bounce back minus three and a half yeah yeah okay they went by touchdown three three is the yeah jake update us with any of the Current lines three. Okay.
B think they won by a touchdown. Three.
Three is the, yeah, Jake, update us with any of the current lines.

Three.

Okay.

Bounce back.

A little humidity down in Florida.

You think they're going to be okay with that?

Grip the ball.

Okay.

Grip.

Big hands.

Rocket arm.

The humidity helps with the grip.

Yeah.

At what point does it become too wet to grip?

Because 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 slick.
Okay. Unless you scuff it up.
What about if you scuff it up? I like humidity for the grip. When you scuff it, not too.
All right, I don't hate that pick. I didn't realize it moved to three.
I like the Dolphins at three and a half, but at three, it feels like a three-point game. That's all.
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. That's an interesting point, but when it's flying through the air, still a rocket.
Still a rocket. Alright, Jake, your favorite.
We're going to close out the favorites with the 49ers minus 3 at Philadelphia 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 people forget they went to the Super Bowl two years ago last year they were bitten up now they're at full at full strength. They can win the game.
I like the strength. I like the strength in there.
Shout out Raftery. I don't like that pick, but I just think the Eagles have been slept on a little bit.
I think their offensive line and defensive line are very good. And when kind of deciding 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 what always happens.
Right, exactly. That's what happens in the division.
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. 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. 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.
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 locker room. You need that in your center.

Yep. As soon as you lose Carson Wentz, everyone gets along.
Yep. Alright, Hank, your underdog.
The Texans. Yeah.
Plus 12 and a half. That's a lot of points in the NFL, especially in week two.
Especially coming off a win. 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. You can feel safe walking in anywhere between now and Sunday being like, too many points.
So many points. Too many points.
You're already up by two scores in the game right now. Too many points.
I'm in with Hank. Oh, okay.
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. If they're worse than a team, they'll play up to the level.
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.
The Browns just don't for whatever reason, even though they've got a ton of skill. Also, it's a Terod Taylor revenge game against the Browns.
And you really can feel good about 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.
And again. You lose by 40, but it was still too many points.
These guys get paid to play football too down in Texas. 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 Murphy's Law, like the Browns somehow losing this game and going 0-2,

wouldn't that be just perfect?

It would be very interesting.

Yes.

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.

Go ahead, Liam.

I have the Eagles plus three.

That's my underdog.

I like it.

I like it.

Nick Sirianni. I like it.
All right, PFT? I have the Texans plus 12. That's my underdog.
I like it. I like it.
Nick Sirianni.

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.

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.

Jameis' eyeballs. I like Jameis, but as a favorite, he is not great.
And all the Saints coaches are out with COVID. Yeah.
Was that when he didn't have LASIK, though? Yeah, but he's just not a good quarterback as a favorite. I feel like everything has got to be like BL.
Yeah. Yeah, but I don't know.
Jameis, this is his first time going to Carolina, playing in a game there since he had the LASIK. It might be stimulus overload.
He's never seen that. You know what? I don't think that he's ever seen the Panthers logo at midfield.
Or the Panther. Or the giant animatronic Panther that slaughtered thousands of Carolina fans.
He's going to see it in 8K. He's probably going to freak.
Billy. I like the Raiders plus 6.5.
I feel like their defense after chasing Lamar... Give yourself some points there.
Go ahead. 6.5 now.
Oh, okay. There you go.
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 slow motion.
They're going to catch him. He's immobile.
Alright, counterpoint. I do think that that was such an emotional win.
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.
Like, oh my god, I can't believe we won this game. To then have to travel to Pittsburgh, play it at 1 o'clock early time for, is Vegas West Coast? Yeah, it is.
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.
But they're saying, is Derek Carr an elite quarterback now? Right. Is he underrated? No, an elite quarterback.
Not is he underrated. They're asking if he's elite.
He is elite compared to previous iterations of Derek Carr. True.
But this is the ultimate. 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.
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.
You just got to cover. Exactly.
Was that his coming out party? Stepping on Carl Nassib's toes a little bit. Whoa.
We don't know. We don't know.
I guess we'll find out in week two. Hair looked good.
Separation Sunday. Hair looked great.
Hank, you're over. My over is the Lions Packers.
Ooh, on Monday night. 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.
So I'm just going to, you know, stay with the hot hand. I like this pick.
It actually is mine as well. 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. What if Jared throws seven? That would be awesome.
Good counterpoint. Did the Packers get any field goals? 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.
They have great kickers in Detroit. Mm-hmm.
All right, so do they have a kicker? They do. They have a kicker.
They have a kicker. A kicker.
All right, Bubba, you're over. I have Pat's Jets over.
Ooh. How are the Hank and Bubba, and obviously Billy, you're a Jets fan.
How are you guys feeling going into this game? Big game. Jets are going to win.
Yeah. It's going to be upset.
And that's weird because you didn't take the message. You're right.
Well, there's less points. Oh, got it.
Less points. But if they're going to win, you don't need any points.
That's okay. I'm purposely trying to lose to not get second place.
That's a good point, I'm saying. That will work out.
But yeah, Billy's been talking about purposely trying to lose if he's too close to second place. Exactly.
It's week one. 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.
So what happens if the Jets beat the Patriots outright? I think hell will break loose. No, I know, but you guys got to bet something.
Did you guys see that throw that Zach Wilson made when he stepped up in the pocket and made a throw while getting hit? He got destroyed. Yeah.
Absolutely destroyed. Yeah, 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? Rolled to his left.
Rolled to his left, threw to his right. Yeah.
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 week. Did you see him? Yeah, the wink and the postgame being like, I already started crunching film right away.
Exactly. Mac Jones is Moxie City right now.
This will be, I'm looking right now, I'm doing the little, the best thing about the Barstool Sportsbook is dragging the you can change the lines, adjust the lines. This will be a Patriots minus nine plus 160 bet for me.
Just a bloodbath. Hank, you love underdogs so much that you're making yourself an underdog.
I'm addicted to plus signs. I'm addicted to plus signs.
That's a good thing to be. Hank, can you 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.
Yeah. It might be in the wash.
Okay, that's fine. We have three days.
Yeah. You're over.
You 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 a good point. Which is a totally not...
I'm not hating on you. That is a guy move.
It means I took it to the laundromat. The lady said it's not going to be ready until maybe sometime Sunday when I took it in today, Friday or Thursday, actually.
What are they doing to your watch? Are you getting it dry cleaned? Are you getting your Zach Wilson? 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? It's going to be in a cave for three days.
It got a little wrinkled. It will lead us to greatness.
It got a little wrinkled. The sniff test does work, though.
I mean, who hasn't? Who among us can judge someone who decides to wear a piece of clothing just based off the sniff test? I sweat in it pretty hard last weekend. 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.
For reasons, if you need to. Yeah.
Wait, did 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. I alternate two pairs of pants all week.
Switching back and forth? I'm a very messy eater, so I get... The stain is the factor that makes me wash them.
This was a random thought I had earlier, but you just made me remind it, Big Head. What if we sold shirts and just say, I'm getting there? I'd be down.
Yeah, I like it. All right, stay tuned.
You might see those soon. I think you just got to 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.
Like, right. I'm getting there.
I'm working on myself. Yeah, right.
I'm getting there. I like that.
Twitter font. Twitter font? Twitter DM font.
New Twitter font or old Twitter font? Old. We'll look at a couple fonts, okay? But I like the idea.
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? 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.
It's the basic bitch live tweeting. Patrick Mahomes, this just in, still very good.
Patrick Mahomes, good at football. Yeah, that's going to come out in the fourth quarter if you're behind already.
Also, 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 at the point where the Chiefs are like the Patriots during Brady-Belichick where we can pencil the Chiefs into the AFC Championship game. This year would be four for them.
Four straight. 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.
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. So everyone thinks that they absolutely stink.
I don't think that they're very good. But I don't know.
Something about being at home in primetime. Lamar Jackson is still good when he gets rolling.
That's when Mahomes loves it. Loves that shit.
Secret bets do not count for this competition. They do not.
All right. Everyone did their overs, right? Yep.
Jake. And Billy.
No, Billy. Oh, yeah.
And Billy. Go, Billy.
Raiders. Wait, what? Over.
Raiders over. Yeah, Raiders.
Raiders. Pittsburgh over.
Okay. Nice.
47 and a half. Okay, nice.
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.
J six. Don't put that evil on him, Jake.
This is PL. He was amazing last week.
I agree. I have the Panthers.
It's the PL era. Under, we'll finish off.
If we miss any games, we'll come back and hit them. Patriots, Jets.
Two rookie quarterbacks. That's all you got to say.
It's tough to adjust. Too many points.
It's a lot of points for two rookie quarterbacks. At what point does Bill open up the playbook? When does he start trusting Mac Jones? Probably not in 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. Jets will get, like, three points.
Okay. I mean, didn't we look it up? Bill Belichick versus a rookie quarterback? He's like never lost.
We did. I forget the exact record, but I think he's, yeah, rookie quarterbacks don't even cover the spread against him 10% of the time.
I just made that up, but it's pretty close. Sounds right.
Bubba? Bengals, Bears, under 45. Oh, yeah, we're doing unders now.
Yes, yes. Okay.
Okay. PFT.
I don't mind that one, Bob. My under, I'm going to go Titans-Seahawks, 53 and a half.
Ooh. Yep.
All right, so this game has me in a pickle because I don't know. 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. It's so hard to figure out, especially after only one week, maybe the Titans aren't good.
I think the Titans are going to be okay. They might be my pinky pet.
Taylor Luan cannot get any worse than he was last year. Did you see the clip that came out? Oh, my God.
You see that clip where Taylor Luan... We're for the boys.
We are for the boys. We're for the boys.
For the record, for the boys. For the boys.
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. 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.
Tough. But credit to Taylor Luan for owning the moment and for logging online and saying thank you very much for, I think, who had the five sacks? Chandler Jones.
Thank you, Chandler Jones, for exposing me last week. This is going to make me better.
So it will be a big moment for boys. I'll grab PMT memes just sent me this stat.
The Patriots are a perfect 13-0 against rookie quarterbacks at home under Belichick. It's not at home.
No, I think that's true. That is true.
But it's still a true stat. Yeah, no, it's a true stat.
It's just not applicable at all to what we're talking about. Belichick's Patriots teams are an astonishing 21-6 against rookie quarterbacks since he took over the reins in New England in the 2000 season.
There we go. Wait, so they went from being 13-0? At home.
At home to being 9-6? So they're 9-6. 22-6? 8-6.
8-6. That's a less convincing trend.
We're not numbers guys, folks. All right? But no, say the first one again.
Well, dude, memes, he's a Jets fan. He might have been trying to sell me out here.
Literally, it says Patriots are a perfect 13-0 against rookie quarterbacks. And perfect 13-0 against rookies in bold.
Okay, at home. At home.
At home under Belichick. Don't read the second part.
That's all I need to know. Thank you.
Can we get the game switched? Well, Belichick used to coach for the Jets. No, not head coach.
For a day. Yeah, but he was a coach.
He called Meadowlands home for a long time. That's true.
For the Giants. Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Home is home. It's good.
We'll finally get to a point that makes sense here. That makes a lot of sense.
Belichick returning back to the place where his revenge game. Got it.
Okay. What are we on? Unders.
So yeah, Titan Seahawks was the one that we just talked about. She made her Met Gala dress out of Russell Wilson's Color Rush jersey.

That's still in valor, actually.

Yeah, really letting us know that you guys are married.

Thanks.

We didn't know.

We forgot.

It was an all-time look.

All right, my under is the Raiders.

Steelers, 47.5.

And then what do you have, Billy? I have Eagles, 49ers, 50. Is that the number? Yep.
All right, that is. And we talked about that game.
And now Jake, finish us off, and we'll talk about the games we missed. Also in with PFT on Seahawks Titans.
Okay. 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 and this is the game you play with yourself one and over, so in one. Feels like the Cowboys should win this game but maybe the Cowboys just play shootouts and lose every game.
So that wouldn't surprise me if that's where they ended up. Like a little throwback to last year.
When they started out and they're on. Anytime your team's offense is really, really really good you can convince yourself that you're going to go you know like 15 and 2 right uh 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 the coach had to get carted off practice which you rarely see that's bad it's bad juju for sure and i i still think that the Chargers are going to end up contending for the AFC West.
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. 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. This one, I actually kind of like the Vikings.
I do too. Because the Cardinals could not have played a better game.
They were in my hungry dog parlay. It was the perfect game that the Cardinals played.
And you know what? 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? And us to be like, well, we were wrong. This is a perfect Kirk Cousins game where he's going to go out, throw for 400 yards, three touchdowns, and they're going to win by two scores.
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. Yeah, 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 the net like the nationally televised games are gonna be cowboys chargers titans seahawks so that vikings cardinals game will get slipped under the rug yeah you know what i mean we won't you won't really remember a ton of stuff and then you're like wait oh kirk cousins nice job yeah so knowing kirk cousins record in prime time this is actually the best case scenario because it's the least prime time game that you can get right because it's going to be the game that no one's going to be paying attention right right um okay uh that's so that's the whole preview uh oh i have a can't lose parlay if anyone wants to hear it it's plus 300 one last week no big deal uh tell me where it loses ready eagles plus eight and a half that's adjusted okay okay i like that uh 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. 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. Okay.
Sunday night. What's the overrunner on that again?5? Yeah, you like it at 54.5, so you must love it at 47.5.
I was going to say the other way around. I like betting the Chiefs numbers when they're higher.
For some reason, if this game was 47.5, it would make me less likely to bet the over. But when I see the 5, like the 50 next to the Chiefs game, I feel like I'm missing out if I'm not betting on it.
Fireworks. But yeah, I think,

you might go,

you might not lose a can't lose parlay.

Knock on wood. Would be nice.

Would be nice. So check out the

Barstool Sportsbook app. We got a bunch of exclusives

up there. Let's do Fantasy Fuck

But instead, this week, I think it's good motivational tactics. I think Brandon Ayoub comes out, reminds everybody why his name is so fun to say.
Love it. My sit-um is Purdue's drum.
That's right. The big-ass drum.
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 they won't let him use the main tunnel. Fuck that drum.
Purdue is gonna get beaten like some sort of percussion instrument. Too fat to go through the tunnel.
That's what I'm talking about right there. That's called a Chris Christie.
With my, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, not the tunnel. He's a bridge guy.

to go clean up

all the space junk out there.

I don't know.

That's all I read.

Monster Zink is a great

fucking movie.

Yeah, he's in sanitation.

Sanitation?

He's in fucking sanitation.

That's kind of a fucking

try-hard movie. all the space junk out there.
I don't know. That's all I read.
He's in sanitation? He's in sanitation? He's in sanitation?

Yeah, he's in sanitation. He's in sanitation?

He's in sanitation?

He's in sanitation?

Yeah, that's kind of a fucking try-hard move

to clean up space.

Is that light territory?

It's clean that shit up for us.

My cinema's Andy Dalton

because Matt Nagy won't do it,

so I will.

And then my sleeper is...

Nice guy, though.

Yeah, nice guy.

Real nice guy.

It's Harvey, the two-headed gopher snake.

Nick Cage's snake passed away logically at age 14. R.I.P.
Can we have a moment of silence? R.I.P. That's snake.
Rip Harvey. Rip Harvey.
Great snake. Not Weinstein.
Hope that fuck dies. Rots in jail and then dies.
Piece of shit. Is he dead? Harvey Weinstein? Yeah.
Just morally. Okay.
Yo, what's up? It's AJ Gallant. My stardom is at Danbury Trashes.
We're a bunch of hockey players that are run by a trash team. You guys haven't seen the documentary and you're looking at me strange, but it's really fucking cool.
Nice. Danbury Trashes.
I saw it on Netflix. I didn't see it, but I saw it.
Does that make sense? 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.
Yeah, well, everyone's in jail after that. Anyway, my sit-em.
Wait, spoiler. My sit-em is China.
China? China. China? We're sitting them because we got AUKUS, which is just a new thing.
We're sending a bunch of nuclear submarines to Australia. It's another thing.

Anyway, my sleeper is not...

I read about that.

You read it?

AUKUS?

AUKUS is Australia, United Kingdom, US.

We made an alliance.

Alliance.

Yeah.

Alliance.

And the PAC-12, the ACC.

What up now?

And my sleeper is narcoleptics.

That's funny.

You're a funny guy.

Got it.

Funny guy.

My sister used to date a narcoleptic.

He was really into doing Christian music. Had a ponytail.
It was a whole weird thing. I got that.
Hank didn't. It was right after she killed Jackie.
All right. Don't do that.
Yeah. I mean, there was a spoiler in the Daniel Ricciardo interview, but I had to say that.
You had to say. I had to say that one.
And then she started dating Ralphie afterwards. You guys are terrible.
I mean, you guys have already established yourself as terrible human beings. We talked to Daniel Ricciardo about Max Verstappen running over Lewis Hamilton's head.
So that, you can figure. If you've watched Sopranos, you get it.
All right, so we never talked about Nicki Minaj's tweet. Is 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? 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. But now everybody's 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 because i just i saw it and immediately i was like well that sucks for that guy because he clearly was cheating on his fiance got an std and then told everyone that the vaccine made his balls like a watermelon which is actually a genius thing to do right exactly no people believe that shit if i'm a girl i would be like uh yeah i got pregnant after i took the vaccine It was a weird thing. Yes.
Yes. What do you want me to do? I got the vaccine and I made a bunch of bad bets.
Yeah. Can I get that back? Oh, but I do love, we're starting to see a little bit of this week 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 worse than teams that are more vaccinated. Something to keep an eye on from our good friend, Mike.
Way to go, Mike. Way to go, Mike.
Okay. Should we get to our interview? What do you get, Billy? It looks...
This is a tweet, by the way. You have a look sometimes where it looks like you want to say something.
Do you want to say something? No, I'm fine. 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.
Now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it and make sure you're comfortable with your decision.
That 100% is STD wedding got called off but we don't want to tell everyone what happened. 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 in the entire Trinidad and Tobago.
And there's no cases of like swollen testicles. And the best was to Nicki Minaj.
I think whenever someone 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 and all pink like reese witherspoon and legally blonde and they're like hey we just wanted to we wanted to have somebody live chat with you from literally it's just vaccine support yeah we just wanted you to log on and talk to someone it's also like like if you're going to lie, being like my cousin's friend is a pretty much foolproof way to say something. Like, oh, my cousin's friend did this.
Yeah, I believe Nicki Minaj. She's telling the truth as far as she knows.
It's the guy who's lying, and that's the problem. He's got his spot blown up.
I'm not a woman. I don't know how these things work.
But if your fiance got giant balls wouldn't you be like i made a great decision choosing to marry the guy with the biggest balls in trinidad 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 like like start just like or just like you know maybe sprinting across the street a busy street being like i'm good i got big balls. I actually think this might be a psyop.
This might be a story planted by Joe Biden himself to make people want to get the vaccine. Get big balls, yeah.
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? I could use a little bit of inflation. Problem is, if your dick doesn't get big as well, 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 to...
No. If you had big balls next to a small dick, your dick looks even smaller.
Yeah, but still... No, proportional.
I would rather have one big one of the two. 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 like seeing someone, it's like standing on top of a building and seeing a little person like, ooh, they look like ants.
Your dick would look like an ant. Throwing a tic-tac down a hallway.
Yeah, standing next to a big, when you go to California, 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. I still feel like you got to take one.
You got to take one if you have the option. All right.
That was good talk. Glad we sussed that out.
Let's get to our interviews. We got Daniel Daniel Ricciardo, and then we've got Bear Grylls.

Okay, here he is, Daniel Ricciardo.
All right, we now welcome on, welcome back, I should say, a very good friend of ours. It is Daniel Ricciardo.
We said last time he was on that when he wins his next race, he's got to come back on. 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 Shoei came back out.
So you won in Monza. You're flying high.
You were a man of your word. You came back on.
Let's start with the Shoei. How good did that taste? First win in three years, right? Yeah.
Yeah. It was, it had been a long time and it was, it was better than I remembered.
I won't lie. Oh yeah.
I normally describe it as mother's milk. So it was, it was, it was that and more.
Did you, 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.
So normally it's, it's like champagne or sparkling wine, I guess, whatever they call it. And, uh, that was it.
So, you know, once you spray it and, and do all that sort of stuff, I then, uh, I make sure I keep a good half the bottle left. And, uh, I took the right shoe off, did that, and then took the next one off.
And I got the team Boston and my teammate to do it. So Lando and Zach did it as well.
I love it. Yeah, that's great.
And then 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? I'm definitely jumping to conclusions, but yeah, I'll get to drive that.
We may tee it up around the Austin Grand Prix. I'll see what happens, but yeah, I'll definitely get behind the wheel of that in the next couple of months.
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 you're just speaking it into existence 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 i heard he was thinking about giving us the car yeah that's crazy oh it's i know like that's what that's what this friendship's grown into it's generosity, we just keep taking stuff off of you.
All right. So the win was awesome.
Great race. A lot of drama.
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 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 we like the team did the fastest pit stop of the race you know i think it's our fastest pit stop of um like it's the first time we've won that award this year so to like win it during like the highest pressure moment and for the team to execute and to take me back out in the lead after the pit stop was was awesome so like everyone everyone felt like we earned that success and we earned that moment so there was some sore heads on monday um but uh fortunately there were more of the other members of the team i was i was pretty mellow i won't lie all right so sore heads you bring it up.
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 Verstappen, has he ever been in a wreck that wasn't 100% the other person's fault? I was in a couple with him, which was definitely his But he didn't say that I would assume What did you think of it? Did you see Yeah I mean I thought that it's like Max obviously drives to the edge Actually here's a actually here's a question for you there's there it feels like f1 a lot of the guys and the best drivers are basically saying i will push the car i'd rather crash than finish like 10th i'd rather push it to the limit and play so aggressive on everything than uh have a result that i you know i'm happy with. Is that fair to say? There's definitely a few drivers like that.
And I think that's a good mentality to have in terms of leaving it all on the table. But obviously then it comes like now, obviously, Max and Lewis are fighting for the championship.
So 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 then just trying to like pick your moments and then like, I don't know.
I don't want to say like cut your losses when you can, but just like in saying that, I don't think I don't think the incident on Sunday was like 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 it obviously wasn't maybe completely there but yeah I don't know the the part that that did make me laugh a little bit we talked about it a few months ago when Max was went to the hospital he ended up being fine but he bitched on instagram afterwards saying that lewis hamilton was celebrating while he was in the hospital 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 he's so crazy competitive that he he he can't even understand the hypocritical nature of that. So I ended up rooting for Lewis now between the two of them.
Okay. I shouldn't laugh because I don't mean to laugh.
Obviously, they were fine in the end, so it's all good. But yeah, I think got to you know i was teammates with him for a few years 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 um 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 going to walk away.

Yeah.

I would say my rule of thumb is nine times out of 10.

If you drive over another guy's head, it's probably your fault.

There are times where it's not, but you know, the head,

just avoid the head. Phil Leotardo.

Exactly.

Yeah.

I think as well, like in, so I saw afterwards the,

so it looked like obviously he kind of came over like,

Thank you. exactly yeah i think as well like in um so i saw afterwards the so it looked like obviously he kind of came over like i guess like ran over his head but then stopped a bit more forward and like lewis was i i think like there was things of like lewis trying to reverse and get out so look i don't want to like i've already got probably two bulbs but maybe maybe max saw that and he's like, okay, Lewis is fine.
So I don't know. You have to be diplomatic.
We'll do the trash talking for you. You just sit there and you're like, I'm going to stay out of it.
I said Max is a jerk and you just sat there. You didn't even do anything when I said that.
So that's credit to you. I will say like, 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.
But 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. Like if we knew it was something serious, we wouldn't just turn our backs.
So I'll leave it at that. I agree.
Yeah. Yeah.
No, that's fair. I think that makes sense.
So on a little lighter note, when you win the race, you do the shoeies, you're on cloud nine, having a great time. Like you said, you went out, you partied a little bit, not as much as you could have.
What was the process like for you that night of determining which of your party shirts you were going to wear? 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. I really want to make something up here just to make it sound like a lot cooler, but I didn't I didn't have I didn't plan for it I've been on

if it's my defense maybe maybe not i've been on the road now for oh like maybe six weeks so everything's kind of recycled in my bag and um the only party shirt that i traveled with I actually gave to you guys. So yeah, I got nothing else.
Wait, you're going to,

you're gonna give me some shit for that aren't you oh yeah oh yeah so um we got the party shirt thank you we're gonna frame it it's from urban outfitters yeah like you get paid 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 party shirts are special shirts and you got like so do we get the bad party shirt or is that what you're wearing yeah that's okay all right yeah you guys you guys got the shit like let's let's be real i met you once like yeah sure we got on but you ain't get no gucci the first time 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 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 Republic and Urban Outfitters, which is fine. But you'd have to have a couple that are like, ooh, this is a serious, serious party shirt.
That makes you feel a lot better. And you know what? On that, I don't want to kind of give you the weld on the first date, if you know what I mean.
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 standards 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 we then we swap jerseys at the end yeah all right I'm right. 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. I'm down for it.
That's because then I don't care what party shirt is because then it's a game worn. We had that.
We'll put them all up. We'll frame them.
It'll be great. It'll be like the end of this big soccer game I love it I love it I was I was actually looking at the uh the NFL schedule you might be in New York like sooner rather than later but we were talking about getting you out to a Bills game at some point is that something that you're still interested in maybe after the after the Austin race because I saw that they're playing um 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 i'm not gonna like lose time and check my calendar now yeah just put that out there as soon as as soon as i'm done i'm gonna check and if that somehow works in with the calendar i'm i'm there Like I would love to.
I'd love to. That would be fun.
So back to Monza 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. And, you know, like anyone that – I'll put that on silent.
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 there was, I don't know if 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 used it as fuel and i think that's why like both you know the saturday we had like the sprint race the sprint qualifying um 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 and I was I don't know like it 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 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 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? I turned, I turned this anger into something that was productive.
Yeah, exactly. That's what it is.
Like normally we're not normally, but a lot of the time, if you like, if you flip, like you just want to go break shit basically. Yeah.
And you like, you will let out a lot of that emotion and energy in the next five minutes and i i did well at bottling it and using it for the competition for the race so like i i as much as i wanted to do stuff i i channeled it i guess and that's that's when it becomes a good rage if you can channel it into something productive, then that's pretty powerful. Are you a little bit offended that you didn't get an invite to the Met Gala? After seeing some of the images, not really.
You probably can't wear the Urban Outfitters party shirt at the Met Gala. I think, look, the way summer fashion is now, I think you probably could get away.
Yeah that's true. That is true like in an ironic way like if you show up in like an American Eagle shirt and cargo shorts and you're like I'm being that's the Adam Sandler.
Yeah 2004 chic you know. Yeah yeah it's it's um it's like don't get me wrong I'm sure it would be like an experience, but I don't know, it seems maybe a little formal for me.
This is kind of a serious question, and I think most people who are competitive or have a job that is public by nature, which we do as well, was there ever a time between wins where you're like, can I still do this? Did you have that moment, that self-doubt that kind of creeps in for anyone? And did that ever kind of start to like, hey, what's up? Am I ever going to win one of these again? Moments of it, yes. Like moments of self-doubt and of like that kind of deep questioning 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 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 for a number of races 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'll use that as motivation. So, yeah, I think fortunately it didn't get to a point where it really pulled me down.
But there were moments. Yeah, like I won't deny that.
Yeah, I mean, I always love that like psychological part 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? Is this am I on the other side and then to to actually come back and win a race has got to feel really really awesome and reading everything like uh I was reading so 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 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 like, it's cool.
And I guess like deep down for me, I, and 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 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 and I'm I'm like I'm stoked that it came out in the biggest way possible and it was a victory um so like anyone that that questioned or like doubted me, I think now they're like, okay, like, yeah, 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 just need to be reminded. Yeah, it's awesome.
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 we see on television we we repeat it occasionally but maybe you can walk us through what that dynamics 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 mano a mano trying to figure out like for yourselves maybe he's going to overtake me maybe you have to drive against him yeah I mean the like so the result was like winning was insane and to go like one, two for the team was kind of even more insane.
So that was nuts. I think the team hadn't won in nine years.
So of course, 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.
So I was obviously, you know, stoked that it was me to do that. 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, I guess for him, the perfect scenario was for him to be first, me second,, you know, like he got, there was one lap, I don't know, maybe it was like 20 laps to go.
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 because like I'm faster. And the team were like, look, like relax, like hold, you know, like hold firm and

we don't want to do anything stupid. 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 experience drive from, from me and fastest lap. You get the bonus point for fastest lap.
Yeah. So that was like, that was

I sound like a dick

talking about myself but i'll try not to like make it sound arrogant but the because it had been for me three years and it's been a tough year and there was still surely people questioning my ability like putting in the fastest lap of the race on the last lap when like the victories in my hands, that for me was like a little like, just to say like, guys, I did not feel the pressure this whole time. Just for, just for my peace of mind, I'm going to set the fastest lap to say, I told you so, and go fuck yourself.
That's awesome. Cause that is true.
I mean, you could have just, 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 off or did that get you like modern day you did that put you into a good rage so 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 my pocket but um but no like that sort of stuff i'm like you know what it's it's cool. Like it kind of 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. 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. Um, my last question, uh, by the way, I actually, we have, I have a so much more admiration for you and, and your fellow drivers.
Cause we did, we're not going to spoil anything. Cause the video hasn't come out yet.
You'll have to watch it. But, uh, we did a go-kart race.
We had, uh, 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 we were going like five miles an hour.
So I literally walked away being like, I don't know how anyone can race for a living. But this season, 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? Have you had moments where you're like, ooh, this is probably going to end up? Because 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, absolutely.
Absolutely. It's kind of – I mean, and I think that's just the reality of the sport.
Like every year there is, there is drama. And I think 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, yeah, kind of like them being there just highlights everything kind of we already knew about the sport.

What was really cool is that...

So... So, yeah, kind of like them being there just highlights everything kind of we already knew about the sport.
What was really cool is that so like Netflix, Netflix will follow like a team each weekend, you know. And so they're not that they're obviously getting snippets of everything, but they'll then be embedded with a team like kind of each race weekend.
And that will cycle through and and monza yes yes that was like the perfect kind of setting holy shit that's awesome i mean i can't wait for that because that's that is absolutely perfect 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 and like i mean the i think so it was the first win for mcl in nine years, but it was the first one-two 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. I just want to say like, you're an Australian.
I've noticed something recently. I've become a big believer in Australian breakfasts.
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. 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%.
100%. Like any, even like here in London, like a lot of my favorite breakfast joints will be run by Australians.
It's just what we do. You've got to love avocado though because avocado is pretty much on everything.
But yeah, I'm stoked. What's your go-to? What's an Aussie breakfast specialty for you? So I get the avocado toast, but then I just put everything it 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 almost like we do with eggs benedict here in the united states a lot but in australia it's just like okay it's gonna be an open-faced sandwich but you can put half a cow on it and it's still a healthy breakfast.
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. 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 breakfast. And then you get the pour over.
The Australian coffee is another thing that I think is slept on too.

That makes me very happy.

That makes me proud that you've acknowledged and appreciated some of our finest.

Yes.

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.

So we have Blake Griffin, Blake Bortles, and Brooks Koepka, who is an honorary Blake. They compete for who's the Blake of the year.
Why is your, why is your zoom name Blake friend? So, so they, one of my good mates and Blake, he's he works with me. He's pretty much my manager.

So this is his laptop and he signed in with his name.

Okay.

Do you want to say hi?

Hi, Blake. Blake, we love Blake.

Blake, you have the best name ever.

Blake Friend.

Come on, say hi.

Blake, come on.

Blake of the year.

Blake of the year.

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

What's up, Blake?

Blake, what's up?

You look like a Blake.

Yeah.

Look at that.

You look like a perfect mix of Griffin, Koepka, and Bortles all into one.

Yeah.

You're not the first person that told me that, but thanks.

Okay.

You get that a lot.

Nice.

It's good to have a Blake around, Dan.

So that's good.

Another Aussie, so a good cunt.

Yeah.

All right, Daniel. Thank you so much.
We 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 it's like right after the Austin race and the Mexico City race when you come to New York we'll find a night and we'll go out with party shirts on. I love the idea.

Alright, thanks so much.

Good to see you, man. See ya.

Congrats again, man. Thank you.

Thank you, guys. Hopefully

we can catch up soon.

Yes, that'd be great. And sorry about

the Bills. We had Josh on.

We went to Bills camp last month.

You should watch it. It's good.

He's the best. Oh, shit.

All right. It was close, right?

Did they lose by like a touchdown?

Yeah, they lost by like six points, seven

points, I think. Yeah.

They'll be okay. It was tough.
Steelers have a good defense.

They'll be okay. Yeah.

All right, then. All right.
See ya.

All right. See ya, man.
Thanks.

Peace.

And now for something completely different. Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest.
He is someone that everyone knows. He is a true, I don't even, 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 You Verse Wild Out Cold, it is Bear Grylls, 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, this might be the coolest thing I've ever seen i just 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 do you want to go over this mountain do you want to go through this tunnel who came up with this idea 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 and Netflix were really encouraging from the early days of You vs Wild when we first did this as episodes last year 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 but it's always for me felt like the next evolution of survival adventure rather than just kind of watching uh 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 of me on my own 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. But the next evolution was always that kind of sense of, let's take you, the viewer, with me.
And you are 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 or death on the line. crazy fun to make we use our same team as ever we had a blast uh and you know when we did the first season of these as episodes it just flew you know it's like the number two rated netflix show at the time and they said well let's do a bigger better do a movie we did the first movie which is Animals on the Loose.
We learned a lot through that one. That kind of did well.
But I think Out Cold is really the one we all wanted to make. 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. Well, yeah.
I mean, my first thing would always just be find the water. Because you always taught me, like river find a stream if there's water nearby as far as i know as a survival rookie you just walk to the water and then the rest takes care of itself right well i think if that's all you learn um uh 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 and you know in terms of food and water you can go three weeks without food uh three days without water you know so you've got you've got to prioritize that high and also if you're eating food you're dehydrating faster 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 protection.
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 is protection. Get off the highway, get out of the storm, get out of the wind, get out of the flash flood.
Number two is making sure you're visible. 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. So you've got to set yourself up for rescue, make sure you can be seen.
And then number three is water and then food. What's the longest you've gone without eating food? I'm trying to think.
I think probably my military days. I look back to when I did my first big combat survival training, which, you know, eventually I became an instructor there with the British Special Forces.
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 I just kind of told to get on with it and evade capture and make it back to home lines.
So yeah, that was a long time, but we kind of nibbled on stuff. You'd find bugs and grubs and roots and berries.
And we stole a few kind of farmer's chickens on the roots in the Bavarian mountains know, we figured it out, but as they say, improvise, adapt, overcome. So, uh, another question about you, like your, your, uh, beginning and your training, 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.
What would that mistake be? Oh, wow. How long have you got? I mean, I would actually say in so much of my life, the adventures, my career has been built on those mistakes.
It's 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, you know, and it's a continuous learning process.

And I've failed my way through so many of these missions.

The other side of it is you could say that adventure really happens,

only really happens when things go wrong.

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.
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.
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 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 you know all you've got is kind of you know some gaffer tape and a and a broken set of glasses what are you going to do you know i like spirit of it. In terms of answering the question about the mistakes, I think it's probably overestimating my skills.
Yeah. Sometimes I kind of think, oh, it's going to be fine.
You know, and it's almost like a thing with the crew. You know, when they hear me go, oh, 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.
The hammock, no problem. 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 key mantra for us as a team in the wild.
And you've got to go for these things. And I think a bit like a football tackle, when you half commit, that's when you get injured.
When you're all in, 100%, come on, bring it. Then you get away with it a bit more.
But not away. Do you still have fun at your job? Because to me it sounds like 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 are you like man this really sucks i wish i had been accountant well there have definitely been a few moments like that where you definitely think oh what am 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.
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.
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 wrappers chasing the crocodile i would have thought amazing come on so uh i will never take that for granted and um the only thing i would say is if i could do all of this stuff without the tv cameras i I would much, much prefer it. 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. I actually really struggle with it.
I've learned to just kind of ignore the actual camera and just kind of get on with doing the adventures. But the number of times we end up going on great adventures with no TV cameras, no iPhones, no GoPros.
And I do love that. You know, that's my happy place because, you know, it's not like, I don't know, I just don't feel very comfortable always in front of a camera.
I remember day one from filming. We've been filming for about two minutes.

Man Bus Wild episode one. And Simon, the cameraman, a lovely, lovely guy.

He's still a great friend to this day. He went, well, stop, stop, stop.
This is terrible.

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.
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 that kind of changed it. And I just then tried to forget about the camera.
I'd speak to the cameraman. And that was was the early dynamic of man versus wild that really people hadn't seen before 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 so speaking of the camera crew uh just be honest with us like they ever slip you a granola bar when things get really tough they're like hey bear yeah don't worry all the time yeah i got i got here i got a chewy for you just take this because i know that you don't want to eat like uh you know snake eggs all for for dinner again yeah 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 man that was oh man have some of my gatorade and have a you know and i'd be like you know but um as the show went on they kind of had a sick pleasure in like uh yeah right so then it became a tussle but on um on running wild 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.
You know, people aren't used to not eating for a day or two days. And, you know, 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 poor guy was like almost broken broken a day later so we learned pretty quickly that you gotta gotta keep the guests hydrated but i think they are often surprised that they go wow i thought we'd have some craft services behind the scenes and it's like no you're drinking you're drinking for the cameraman's water bottle and you're sharing you know uh you know pete's granola bar so it's um it's kind of rough but they do like it and I think it's part of the experience for these stars 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 I would just die on the on like in the middle of the woods I'd be like go ahead I This is too much.
Well, yeah, it's happened a couple of times, I guess, where right at the beginning they kind of did that. And what happens is we all just sort of sit around and kind of cajole and push and nudge and nobody's filming.
And eventually when they're up and moving, you hang off the clips 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 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 yeah but you'd be conserving energy though yeah like you said the easiest way to survive just that staying still. The whole rescuing part, that would be a challenge.
But, yeah. Well, the thing is, this is what the guests often say.
They go, but isn't it? No, shouldn't we just stay put and wait for rescue? And I go, well, technically, but this is going to be fun. Come on.
Yeah, right. So we kind of change it from just a survival mission to an adventure.
You know, extraction is 12 miles that way. We're on the move.
when you have a celebrity on the show like whether it's will ferrell or if it's obama are there times when you're sitting around and you're looking at each other you kind of you can tell that they're waiting to ask you a question about when it's safe to drink urine 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 in fact i remember with obama it was the other way around i we had a the guy who was with us asking the questions you know kind of saying you know president what do you think about best decision to go left or right and sort of interviews him along the way was uh 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, so one other question, what would it take for, you know, for you to drink fair's urine at which point I got, I stepped in.
Yeah. Obama's so great.
He kind of laughed. I just went, guys, we're done.
Leave the president. We're out of here.
He's done it. What a legend.
All right. So on this show, we've had a debate.
I don't know if you saw. There was a study that basically said most 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. But what is the one animal that you're like, no chance.
If I see this animal like like I am getting as far away as possible. What's that animal to you? Probably a saltwater crocodile.
You know, don't mess with the salties. You know, 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 billabong once and we hadn't drunk for a while with the crew and we were kind of wanted to refill the water bottles and it was like a scene out of crocodile dundee you know the crew the crew went i said guys just what i bet this is prime salty territory and they went no we're nothing land now and i said watch this and um and i'd done this a couple of times on other ones and it and it hadn't worked so i kind of i kind of thought third time i wonder you know whether it's going to happen i got a rock and just lobbed it into this small like you know swimming pool size brown water murky pool and literally as that rock hit the water this huge sortie just exploded out thrashed the whole thing into like a jacuzzi, you know, and then five seconds later, it's like a mill pond again.

It's like, that's why we don't get in these billabongs.

So if you're in the water with a salty, 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.

You're toast.

They're going to stick you under a log to let you rot and soften up for a few days. They're come up they're gonna give you a shake like that your guts are gonna fly out uh we've i've even heard of heads flying off you know they're so powerful the jaws and then they just swallow you down and under they go so 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 from the violence of it.
And it's choose your battles in the wild is what I'd say. Okay, I understand what you're saying, but counterpoint, like they have no lateral quickness, so I just run around them.
Yeah, but that is true. If you're really in that situation, good luck to you.
But remember, the way they catch is often with their tail. Swipe with the tail.
So often, I've seen it with people. They move around the side thinking of being smart and then whack with that tail.
Clean off your feet, down, bomb, retreat, and you're in the water. Why don't they just jump over the tail? Yeah, why don't I just smash the tail? Jump on the tail.
That's got to hurt hurt him i think you got it i'll tell you what talk is sweet in that studio my friend 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 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 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 crocodile wins certainly with with some of 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 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. 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. I got no claws.
You know, I 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.
Live to fight another day another day so have you what's the longest you've sat in front of a television watching like sports or whatever it may be oh wow um yeah i'm kind of not a great great tv because i 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 okay um 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 open the door we're out of here for five minutes i don't know i like um i like moving i'm not a great sort of sit down person um. But, yeah, probably tennis matches.
Okay, so would it be fair to say then that if you put the two of us in the wild, we 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. You couldn't do that, correct? We could maybe take down a Salty.
You couldn't 12 straight hours of football you couldn't do that correct we could maybe take down a salty yeah you couldn't watch 12 hours of football yeah yeah yeah listen you're right you know this is um one to you every time and i actually for the record think you would actually make great survivors i really do i think um you know you got to work well together you you guys work well as a team uh You've got to be able to laugh a lot, a sense of humor. You know, number one in the wild.
You've got to – things are going to go wrong. So I think don't underestimate yourselves.
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'll be okay.
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. So it's 24 hours basically of watching football on a couch.
That's real survival. It is.
And the commercial breaks. That's the thing about American football.
I mean, as you know, with rugby, with that great English game, the whistle starts and the whistle stops. That is nonstop for those 90 minutes.
But America's football is every 30 seconds they're having like a tea break. Yeah, but 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 so it's actually it's it's a mental workout as well um this multiple screen yeah i don't know how you guys do it it's tough the team are laughing here go bear what do you talk about a tea break they're not sitting down having like crumpets yeah scones and tea i appreciate you respecting our lives though because we are the true survival yeah and try doing.
That even makes it more challenging sometimes with the bathroom breaks that you have to get into. You should do a 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 long they can survive.
I think I'd be pretty good at that. I don't know.
I think that might be a actually you know there what do you know the rule of threes for survival so we've done the three weeks without food two three days without water three minutes without air uh 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 what take eye off the ball, it's all over.

You've got that billabong.

That would be tough.

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 Bear Grylls?

I don't know. I think it plays a part.

I used to hate it when I was a kid.

I used to think, oh, why can't I have a normal name?

You know, when I was at school and stuff.

But you're right.

I look back now and I think, you know, it kind of works.

So, yeah, yeah.

What's the grossest thing you've eaten?

I know you had, like, the boiled 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 mouse

in urine. Yeah, that was also

Michelle Rodriguez's urine

and

yeah.

Yeah.

By the way, legend

of a girl. What an incredible

show me fearless and brave.

I don't know, maybe like, you know,

raw scorpions and tarantulas

and live snakes and

Thank you. Legend of a girl.
What an incredible... She's going to be fearless and brave.
I don't know, maybe like, you know, raw scorpions and tarantulas and live snakes and, you know, camel intestinal fluids and yak eyeballs. And I don't know, the worst, the worst was raw goat's testicles.
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.
We're going to kill one of the goats and give you the prize testicles. I'm thinking, you know, OK, I've learned over the years to be very wary of delicacies.
But I was a little greener, you know, a little wetter behind the ears in those days 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, I'll try and like, I'll try and swallow it. I just, you know, I'll try and squidger it.
I don't want to bite into it because it's going to be a mouthful of, you know, everything bad. So, so I got this thing.
I thought, I'll just take a massive light. Here we go.
Woomp uh and it got about halfway down that it was to go down then i sort of threw up and then so i had a mouthful of vomit exploded sperm and just a testicle sack 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. Like, do not have the goat bull delicacies when next with the Berber Driesman in the Sahara Desert.
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.
Now, conversely, what is the best tasting thing that you've ever had that you thought was going to taste disgusting?

Well, that's easy.

You just got to burn the hell out of it.

You know, so 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 OK.

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. It's like like and um and i always used to be munching down these scorpions and and then when i want us to start cooking in i cooked it a bit more and before i knew it there's a burnt all that fluid out there was just like a burnt sausage on the barbecue so um the magic ingredient is burn the hell out of it yeah all.
All right. So I should have asked this to start.

We do a thing every year called Grit Week where we go around to training camps, football training camps, and we go around in a bus in America.

It's the grittiest thing you've ever seen.

But you had a book called True Grit.

So what is grit to you?

What's the definition, like the bare bones definition of grit? Never giving up. You know, that's it.
You know, grit. Grit is resilience.
It's dogged. Never say die.
You know, raw determination. Never give up spirit.
Grit. And some of the stories that she and True Grit 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. And they're all, you know, each story's just one short chapter.
But they're incredible tales of heroism, sacrifice, resilience, and mind-blowing determination. So I love it.
I read it to our our boys when they were young and um yeah some of the stories i think definitely stayed with them it's like i i mean i your your life is so different than our lives but i just keep thinking like true grit for us is like you know going oh and seven and gambling picks on a saturday and then being like never giving up like sunday i'm back at it well i'm gonna fucking do it again i broke my foot i think i got bit by a dog yeah and we didn't miss a single episode yeah so that's true grit grit comes in every you guys you guys are legends you guys are legends well my nephew age age 15 came to me and he was uh you know he was staying for the weekend he went around the back

to have a cigarette and i went out i caught in there and uh i said hey babe come on you're better that you you need to knock it on the head with the cigarettes you're you're smoking like you're 15 you're smoking like 30 days this isn't good and he came out with the immortal lines he goes but uncle bear you told me since i was a little boy never give up he got you

he absolutely nailed you on that

yeah Uncle Bear, you told me since I was a little boy, never give up. Shit.
Come here. He got you.
Shit. He absolutely nailed you on that.
Yeah. You got it.
Yeah. Billy, do you have any questions? Yeah, we have.
So our guy Billy here is, 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. So I think he's got some questions you if that's okay he's also military like you so no i'm not i'm not he's kind of he's already very gritty but go ahead billy ask a couple questions i was just wondering uh what are your favorite survival skills that you'd want to you know tell our listeners that like exact facts and 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.
Just so you know, Bear, 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. Well, listen, there are a thousand little things from being able to start fires with a little bit of chewing gum paper and a battery and tear the foil and connect the terminals into a light and you can get that into some you know something to burn so you know there are thousands of things from that to purifying water through your underpants through you know to improvising spears out of you know whatever i know that's i mean i always think the one thing that's helped me a lot is is more about attitude It's this thing of instinct being the nose of the mind and you've got to trust it.
And I think, you know, it covers a lot when you're out there. 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 feel it. And nature is 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 sometimes it's like you know that's a bad thing doing you've got to back away and find another way around things and so i think it makes all of those things listen we could talk for hours about little tips and tricks if you're lost uh don't just plow on if you're not sure where you are stop retrace your steps you know people make 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 you know um if you're going or hiking 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 how many times people get lost and nobody's even looking for them for days um i don't know a mix of silly fun things like that what about just crying have you ever advised anybody just like hey just sit down and just start crying dehydrate you further wasted energy okay okay don't cry drink your own tears hold it in drink your own urine instead yeah drink your own urine i i do have one other urine question i don't mean to to really harp on the piss questions, but the all time moment for me, because I did watch a lot of Man vs. Wild, was when you use 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.
Is that something that you just thought, like, was the episode going,

like, was it a little bit too boring? And you're like, you know what, I'm going to really spice things up today. And I'm going to make my portable water bottle out of this snake.
Or was that something that you had planned ahead of time? First of all, I'm super touched. You remember that sort of thing.
You know, 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. but yeah I think at the time it was like I caught the snake

I needed these things you think does anyone ever take any notice of this stuff so first of all thank you um but um yeah i think at the time it's 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 and it was like you know my brain works out there's you know very quickly it was like let's not just throw this skin away let's uh let's gut it and uh and then we'll tie it and we'll use that that will keep my neck cool i've got fluids for later and uh and i've got the meat keeping cool in the bottom of the backpack so as you as we said yeah improvise adapt and overcome is always the heart of so much survival it was an all-time moment of television for me yeah it was um all right so my last question everyone go check out you verse wild out cold it Cold. It is out on Netflix on September 14th.
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? Well, the worst is wet and cold, you know, because you can be super cold in the Arctic, but if it's dry, as as you you know as long as you're dry you can deal with that sort of dry cold um the extreme heat is really hard you know but for me i got quite a lot of frost sniff in my fingers and toes on everest many years ago and that still reminds me every day when i'm in the cold it never lets me forget uh but the real killer is the wet and the cold 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 you can be find yourself in trouble very quickly with wet and cold.
Yeah. Would that be like the highlands? Or is there 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? Well, I think coastal mountains, you're right, 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 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 u.s 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 and um it's why i love the u.s so much you just go to the times square subway station yeah i just try to survive there for a week i really want to see bear do like a regular week uh like you wake up you have to get on the subway you have to go sit at a computer for for 10 hours you then leave you maybe eat some chicken wings have a couple beers at happy hour try to fall asleep like i want to see bear do uh 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 um to to to avoid avoid that um it hasn't always worked but we've had a lot of fun on the way.

I love the idea that Bear can eat a snake, 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 to have a coffee, a cup of coffee every three hours,

and then every three seconds you have to think about something

that's not work-related.

That's how you survive. Yes.
You got it. Hey, it's a barstool rule of three.
Yes. Yes, exactly.
All right. Well, Bear, this has been awesome.
We really appreciate it. We're big fans.
So everyone go check it out. You vs.
Wild Out Cold, September 14th on Netflix. 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. If I come to New York, I'm looking you up.

I'm going to need a local survival guide. Yes.
Come sit and watch 12 Hours of Football with us. I don't think you can do it.
It would make great television to see if you could survive. I don't think you have the guts, Bear.
Hey, I'm not going to make promises. I'm not going to keep.
I can do it. All right.
Thanks so much, Bear. See you, Bear.

Reminder, no gas. let's wrap up we got fire fest of the week and then we'll send you on for a football weekend see everyone on monday reminder no guests on monday but we do recap every game it's fucking awesome favorite shows we do uh 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 that is a fact uh hank your fire fest of the week uh so you guys know i've been golfing a lot lately, trying to get out there as much as I can.
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? I was like, fuck it, I'll do it Thursday morning at like 8 a.m., which was obviously way earlier than I like to get up.
Same with Caleb, but we were both committed, going to go out there. Went to sleep early last night, woke up at like 7.15, but I was fully awake and I checked my phone and saw he had called me at like 3 o'clock in the morning and was like, yeah, there's no way I'm coming out.
And so then I was like, oh, I'm not going to go by myself, but I was already wide awake, so I've just been up all day.'m gonna be up late tonight and i just didn't even go one you got up at what time 7 15 nice welcome welcome to my world uh sucks yeah no it's not fun it's not fun it's way too early to be up uh two he canceled at 3 a.m well yeah he like 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.
I was kind of just like, you know, good for us for even trying, but 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.
Oh, that's tough. And then checked my phone before I went.
Brutal. 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.
Correct. I would have been thrilled.
Brutal. But since you're awake and milling about, that's tough.
It was tough. 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. So my Fyre Fest is going to be for a friend of the program, Ronaldodo cristiano ronaldo he had a pretty bad fire fest this week i don't know if you saw this but he's he's moving to uh manchester which is in south london and he bought a mansion there as one does and it turns out that they're a bunch 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 that's all i get from that news but christiana renal thoughts and prayers to him he's purchasing a new mansion one that's farther away from the farm animals so hopefully he gets settled in there pretty quickly I don't know how he's even you know like that's got to be just absolutely spirit crushing for him yeah thoughts and prayers to cristiano rinaldo he did have a sick tap in though oh dude duh that's all he does um all right my firefest i had a pretty good week too the only thing i'd say is um like a like we got back into football mode where it got back into into football schedule, and like when you get a guy, a veteran in the NFL, and they're like, you know, can't do this forever.
I've had that thought. 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. So football is just a lot.
It's a lot. The content machine doesn't slow down.
So yeah, I've just been like, wow been like wow man i'm sore 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 and that's like the opposite for me but yes you do because that's when you tape like your seven shows yeah right so that's that's where my brain is starting to melt in the mind of of a casual football fan or like a medium football fan, Wednesday is the day that you can take care of the ablows. Yeah, yeah.
And that's until Maction. That's until Maction, and then it's all out the window.
Yeah, then it's no chance. 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.
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. 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 from the ceiling.
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? No, I have a super. So I texted him.
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. I better get over there and fix that soon.
Actually, you know what's going to happen? I guarantee you, Billy's got a nice little outdoor spot. Billy's just going to hook up a hose.
And that's going to be your shower eventually. No, I mean, Billy also could totally just take apart the entire ceiling of his shower and just do that for the rest of his time living.
True. It's just a decorative ceiling.
Yeah. It's already going.
When you think about it, all ceilings are totally dead. Yeah.
It's kind of cool, right? Like exposed pipes. That's a cool look.
If you have a pipe problem. Yeah.
Billy. So in this, 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. 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. Alright, Jake.
So I'm fasting today. Yum Kippur.
Are you actually? This is my first time actually doing it. Why did you decide to do it now? I thought I'd give it a shot I always give up at lunch time That's just called a normal day I fast every day until lunch too I just forget to eat This afternoon Billy's Chick-fil-A comes And he shoves it in my face Did he eat it? No Billy that's very offensive that's very offensive.
Very offensive. Religious.
That's religious discrimination. Oh, I actually forgot one thing.
Billy wants to eat our fatter coworkers. Oh, that's true.
Yeah. He said I would choose Doug's and Frank the Tank to be locked in a bank vault with.
Yeah. 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 Feier wants to throw a huge party in a bank vault.
And it sounds like something Bane would do. I know, so I'm thinking about that and I'm a little claustrophobic and I was like, what if we all get locked in there? Like, what the fuck? Like, it's a huge bank vault.
Like, no one can hear us scream. Yeah.
I was like, well... And he preemptively invited Coach Duggs and Frank the Tank.
So I was like, well, you know, we know Frank the Tank and Coach Duggs are going to be. The great first two people to eat if we were starving.
So what you did was, like, when Dwight gets stuck in the elevator, immediately establishes a piss corner way too early, you just establish, like, okay, I'm going to have a luau with these two guys first. Yeah.
He said the reason he invited Frank and Dougs first was just in case we all get locked in, we eat them first. Also, you could have just said one of the two of them.
You didn't have to call both of them out. And you also could have been like, not the only reason Stu invited those two fat guys is so he could eat them.
I thought it was funny. Look, 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?

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.

I'd saw that tweet.

I would never have thought of something.

Because I saw it deleted, I was like, wait, Billy does want to eat these guys.

No, it was just the responses were pretty.

That's not cool.

But it was fine.

Eating people?

Yeah.

Tell the fuck off.

I have... saw it deleted i was like wait billy does want to eat these guys no it was just the responses were pretty like that's not cool but it was fighting people yeah tell the fuck off i have a group-wide firefest too the importance of the mvp award has been tarnished yeah and now they're doing one weekly yeah i don't i don't like that it's not my mvp i refuse until mitch can win i don't i don't recognize this mvp as existing until he wins one until he mitch wins once Kyler, though, for giving himself the award in that video.
Yep. Jake, what do we say? Do we say Shalom? How do we say? For Yom Kippur? It's not happy Yom Kippur, is it? You just say, like, have an easy fast.
Have an easy fast. Yeah.
Pretty much there. I'm going to be the first person ever to break my fast at Dave & Buster's.
We need a fact check out. Definitely not true at all.
No way. Most people you just sit at home eating bagels.
No, there's definitely some freak that just loves Dave and Buster's. 69.
I love Dave and Buster's, so I'm that for. Chimps are the most warlike of the great apes.
99! I'd fucking stop saying 99! They should open up a specific Jewish Dave and Busters and call it Star of David and Busters.

Just a free little idea for you out there.

99.

Chimps recently killed a bunch of gorillas in a war.

You've said that on like four different podcasts. No, I didn't.

This is the first time.

Love you guys.

Love you guys. We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say I say it anyway Today's another day To find me Shying away I'll be coming for your love again Shying away I'll be coming for your love again Take on me.
Take me on. I'll be gone.
And after I'm changed. Needless to say.
I'm hard to say it. But I'm still a little way Telling them if life is okay Say up to me It's no better to be safe than sorry Say up to me It's no better to be safe than sorry Take on me Take me on I'll be gone And after your dream All the things that you say Is it a light bulb Just to play my worries away You're all things I've got to remember You're shying away I'll be gone In a day I'll be your energy.
