Welcome to Pardon My Take, presented by New Amsterdam Vodka. Go check out the new New Amsterdam Vodka Summer co-branded bottle, Bar School co-branded label.
Check it out right now. It's out there today is wednesday june 16th and in my humble opinion as a sports analyst i am deeming kevin durant's legacy is a very good basketball player cemented that's big of you but what happens big cat if they lose the next two games at that point this could be a legacy series yeah so that's the beauty of the legacy game it just keeps going so it's a rollover minute i don't got legacy games next game i think this is an indictment of the the gin z culture everything is in 15 second sound bites you rush to judge everything this was never a legacy game this has always been a legacy series going up against Giannis.
I would say it's a legacy playoffs. It's a legacy year for KD.
It's a legacy decade. Because he's coming back from an injury.
We were told at the start of the season, Big Cat, we were told on last week's part of my take by ourselves that the Nets would not lose another playoff game. So really, this is a legacy year for him.
It's championship or bust. I actually think, now that I'm saying it out loud, I think it is a legacy decade.
Because think about it. The first decade in the pros, he came in before 2010.
But that 2010 to 2020, or 2019, however you do decades, I don't know how to do decades, that was him cementing himself as, okay, you're a top 50 player of all time. Now, you know, you're a top 50 player of all time now you know top 25 player of all time now this decade sky's the limit this is where his legacy is made and it started tonight my favorite fun thing to do with being dishonest with stats is to play the decade game which is to say like now kevin durant has scored 30 points in a game in three separate decades.
Yes. And it makes it sound like he's 60 years old.
Yes. I like that.
It's just like 11 or 12 years. He's probably the greatest player.
If you look at the totality of it, he probably averages out to be the best player in three separate decades in certain statistical categories. But yeah, shout out KD.
I have a quote for you for you okay you ready for this um you can tell

me who wrote this if you're waiting for the kd game it ain't happening durant has never imposed his will ever lebron steph and russ can impose their will on a team there's also nothing quote Brooklyn about his game.

I'm going to go with Russell Westbrook.

Mm-mm. Oh, he's sick fuck.
Yeah. He's sick fuck.
Yeah. Nothing.
What is, what's, what are you? Nothing Brooklyn about his game. Nothing Brooklyn.
Nothing Brooklyn about. What is a Brooklyn? Who's got, who do you think is the most Brooklyn NBA player? I would actually say it's probably like a hipster like Joe West.

This is a very Brooklyn game on Joe West's part.

Listen, all I'm going to say is thank God Joe Harris is a recurring guest.

You just said Joe West.

Joe Harris is a recurring guest.

Otherwise, I'd be forced to say he forgot how to shoot a basketball.

Yeah, Joe Harris tonight.

He's playing like Joe West.

He absorbed James Harden's Game 7 energy tonight. You know what? you know what instead of talking about James Harden who also had a legacy game tonight too.
He stunk because I hope he's injured because he had five points. He proved that he could go out there and play while he was injured.
Yeah. Joe Harris.
We need to ask is Joe Harris healthy. Yeah.
Because this was a decidedly un Joe Harris like performance. I actually think Harden did like him being out there actually helped because he did have a bunch of assists, and he played well defensively when they needed him to.
He obviously can't shoot right now. He had no legs in his shot.
I just would like to pretend that he's fully healthy. Because there's nothing more fun than when James Harden no-shows a playoff game.
So let's just, in 10 years, we can look back and be like, wait, he went 1 for 10 and 0 for 8 from three-point? What a bum. We'll totally forget the context of this game entirely.
The fact that he was very hurt and shouldn't be playing. The fact that he had a pulled hamstring.
And you could actually see the lack of explosiveness when he was trying to jump into fouls. He didn't have the same lateral movement where he could jump four feet to the side, hit somebody, and then shoot a shot.

It actually surprisingly affected his game that way,

but he wasn't comfortable.

He was missing everything short.

It was also, legacy-wise, a Jeff Green game.

Yeah.

Because Jeff Green cemented his legacy as being a guy that always shows up

every single year in the playoffs for a different team and has one good game.

Seven for eight from three.

He was awesome.

The only three he missed was he was just too open, which can happen. He started seven for seven from three.
But let's talk about Durant real quick because the Durant three, so Durant ends up with 49, 17, and 10. If you don't think that that is just an insane, like, put the team on my back, they need every point, every rebound, every assist from me.
It was incredible. And that shot, that three that he made to basically win the game and that look he gave where he was like, ooh, I am so fucking good at basketball, that has to be an all-time feeling.
Like you could see it in his face. He said visibly, ooh, I am so fucking good at basketball.
Was that on the play where James Harden took the shot clock down to like two seconds and then passed to Durant? Yeah. James Harden, when he saw the shot clock and he did the mental math and said, he's like, I think my hamstring is 25 seconds away from feeling okay.
Let's see if I can get in shape by the end of this one possession. It didn't happen.
Put Durant in the shitter with a bad pass, and then Durant kind of off balance hit it, and it's like there's nothing that you can do at that point unless maybe you're Mike Budenholzer. Just say Buds.
Coach Buds. Sorry, he goes by Michael Buds.
Coach Buds. Who got thoroughly outcoached by whoever happens to be coaching the Nets tonight.
I don't know if it's Steve Nash's night or not. But at some point when Kevin Durant is going off, you have to try the nets tonight i don't know if it's steve nash or not but at some point when kevin durant is going off you have to try something different i don't know if you if you try something that you think is going to work or not but nothing is going to work any less than what you've been doing for the entire game i think cj said cj might call him did he say that like put johnness on him for a second see what happens i yeah i mean it's When he's like that, though i mean you know it kevin durant when he's on fire and he wants to to do what he did tonight he he basically has like an unstoppable game because he's so fucking tall he elevates above everyone he can get his shot off at any point like it's just it was a joy to watch imagine how tall he'd be if he could grow hair yeah another

inch and a half or if he just was honest about or if he stood up straight yeah he had better posture yeah right and you know what lim reaper is back we need to bring the slim reaper i was actually going to say i think tonight we i only saw easy money sniper references i have not seen a servant reference i think the servant's dead servant is dead they killed the slim reaper is back. That was a slim

reprint game. What about the Durantula? Durantula, I'm cool

with that. It did feel, though,

it did feel, though, I mean, like, the Nets needed to win this game. I know that sounds crazy because now they're up 3-2, but when they came all the way back and they were up with, like, three or four minutes left by a point or two, it felt like, all right, the Nets win this game.
It's most likely going seven. Because I don't know.
I mean, maybe Durant can do this again in game six on the road, I guess. Well, that's the thing.
It's like it took this type of performance to win this game, and they sucked in the first quarter. They were really, really bad for a lot of the first half.
So I don't know. Well, yeah, Magic Johnson will point out to you that games three and five, I think he's the first person I ever heard say that, are the most important games in a seven-game series.
And they are up three to two, so they have a couple chances to close it out. I'm not, as a Nets fan, long time, who definitely did not call them frauds tonight several times.
I am concerned. I'm concerned about the Nets' ability to close it out.
I feel bad for Bruce Brown. We're a Bruce Brown podcast.
He got pulled pretty quickly in the start of the game. That was tough.
Oh, shit. He can't.
We need someone else. And Jeff Green saved him.
And, you know, if you're Milwaukee, obviously this game was – you should have won this game. Like, you should have found a way to win this game, especially when you were up and you felt like you could – we said it out loud.
The Nets were down, I think, 20 points at some point in the second quarter.

And I was like, if they can be down 10 halfway through the third, they will have a very legitimate

shot at winning this game.

And that's exactly what they did.

They chipped away, chipped away, chipped away.

And it was right there in the third quarter.

And then Kevin Durant was able to do what he does.

And it's just awesome. It was just an awesome game.
We stay here late, and sometimes it sucks. Tonight was one of those nights where it was awesome because it was like this game was fully worth it.
That was great theater and Kevin Durant's legacy. It was life-affirming basketball.
We need to give a little bit of credit to maybe an unheralded hero on the Nets, and that's the wh guy underneath the basket yeah the whammy guy the old guy yeah who put the whammy on anyone that was shooting a foul shot and if if the kids out there don't know what the whammy is the whammy is uh it's a force you just you hold your hands out and then you start wiggling your fingers you put a curse on the other guy the whammy's undefeated especially if it's an old person doing it. Yeah, yeah.
I think, by the way, Giannis, who he wasn't bad tonight. He had 34, and he shot well.
I do think the Bucs are going to win game six. I think it's going to go seven.
I think Giannis, at this point, should try free throws one-handed or go fast pitch. The minute he gets the ball, just throw it up there.
So we were timing him, and towards the end of the game, I think he got to the line three times, and two of those three times he was over the 10-second limit. One of the times was 11.5.
What do you think the grace period is? Because you can't blow the whistle as they're in the act of shooting, right? Although I guess you should be able to because it's a 10-second rule. It's not a 10.7 second, and if Giannis is shooting the ball, then you call the violation.
It's a 10-second rule. He's a serial violator of the 10-second rule.
I'm going to be using stopwatch every time he's on the line. I'm just going to keep stats.
How often does he cheat at the foul line? I like it. All right, other games.
Let's talk about them real quick. Kawhi is incredible.
Paul George's playoff P has shown up. That series goes to 2-2.
Did you see that Kawhi dunk? Yeah, it was insane. Kawhi's, I think it's because he never feels like he's moving super fast.
We talked about that, I think, last week. But his arms are so long and his hands are so big.
He was so far from the hoop when he dunked that but he just can reach over everyone yeah yeah no he that dunk was it's surprising when you see kawaii do it because he doesn't show any emotion ever so anytime he acts with aggression on a basketball court you're like holy shit where'd that come from it was violent but it was sweet it was like it's violent poetry but it wasn't like the the cool factor of that dunk was when you usually see a poster or like a big dunk, it's a nice pass and a guy getting an open look and then a help defender moving over. You know what I mean? And it's a wind-up and it's a nice little sprint head start.
Kawhi just fucking yammed on that guy. You know what the difference is between a good dunk? No, it wasn't Gobert.
Between a good dunk and a great dunk? Differences, and this is why LeBron James is not a great dunker, in my opinion. You have to hang on to the rim for just like a split second.
You got to make the rim move. You have to make it seem like the rim might come off.
Yeah, and so when LeBron does his, like, you know, he'll go, he'll do like the rocking the cradle and then go over his head, do like a 180 dunk. And yeah, sure, I guess in theory it's something I couldn't do.
Maybe if I practiced for a while I could. But he doesn't even grab the rim at all.
He barely touches the rim. Sometimes he acts like the rim is like a hot oven rack.
He just taps it and pulls his hand away. Kawhi grabbed it and pulled it down for a second, and that makes all the difference.
It's the snapback sound. The spread.
That is incredible. Yeah.
What did you think, Jake, your guy, your guy's dad, Ian Eagle, what was the... Hold on, I'm going to pull up the dunk.
I thought you said Kawhi Light. Kenny Albert.
It was a Kawhi Light. It was...
Oh! Wow! A major Kawhi Light! Amazing. Kawhi Light? It's amazing.
A Kawhi Light? Yeah. I didn't mind it, honestly.
A Kawhi Light? It's amazing. Okay.
You think that was amazing? Yeah. Okay.
Great. No, I wanted your take on it.
Yeah. A major Kawhi Light.
The only problem I had with that dunk is it happened in the flow of play, and there was another whistle for about two minutes of game time after that, and I kept waiting to see the replay of it because I was like, I think I just saw one of the best dunks of all time, but I can't be sure. And it took so long to get the replay.
There should be a timeout that the television overlords should be able to, like, buzz one of the referees and force them to make a bullshit call or, like, a media timeout. It should be a highlight timeout, a quietwhi-Lite timeout in case anything like that happens because I didn't think, imagine, imagine Big Cat, what if something even crazier than that had happened right after? That dunk would have been lost to the ages.
Yeah. Well, Kawhi-Lite.
Sorry, Kawhi-Lite. That was, oh man, it was awesome.
All right. Other series.
I like, I love watching Joel Embiid play. I don't like that Joel Embiid feels like he's always going to die on the court because he's out of gas.
That was tough. And I know he's injured as well, but that felt like a very winnable game for the Sixers.
He's also a bit of a flop artist, too, so there's an element of like... He just likes to be on the floor.

He has a floor routine.

He falls down.

The Olympics, he's got a nice floor routine.

He does.

But that felt like a very winnable game,

and I think the Sixers will kill them tonight,

which I know Phil...

Tank, I know what you've been going through.

Philadelphia Twitter, I feared for my life. It's crazy.
All because I said they were very, very good, and then they all said I jinxed them. But I do think they're going to win tonight, but that one felt like a very winnable.
If you say anything around Philadelphia Twitter, they're going to come at you. They're going to be confetti.
The craziest thing. The Sixers are good.
These things are considered sins in Philadelphia. I actually like the Sixers.
I like Joe Embiid when he's on and not out of breath and going 0 for 12. If he was your star player and he missed a wide open layup at the end of the game, you would be furious.
Yeah, no. The 0 for 12 is a tough thing to come back from in the second half.
It was eerily reminiscent of the Patrick Ewing missed layup at the buzzer. Yeah.
It's just, I mean, let's see what happens tonight. Maybe he caught his breath.
I think the problem with Joel Embiid is he's one of those. He's going to be dead.
He has no shot of making it to the finals. He's just so freakishly big and athletic that there's something wrong with him.
And so the human body was not meant to do the things that he's able to do. It's like in Jurassic Park, you were so preoccupied with thinking if you could, you didn't stop to think whether or not you should.
And with Joel Embiid, he's able to do these crazy things, but he's also, how tall is he? Like 7'2"? 7. He's massive.
He's 7'3". He's a big dude, and he moves so incredibly well, and he can jump so well.
But the human body, at some point, is just going to be like, dude, chill out, sit down, play some video games for a while. And then Ben Simmons, no one's really talking about the fact that he also choked at the line again.
He's a pimp grip candidate. He is a guy that could absolutely deal with maybe learning the underhanded foul shot.
Do you think Giannis started to go back to the Bucs, but do you think he's going to change his routine this summer? He has to. He has to go fast.
Has to. Has to go fast.
Like, the last thing you want to do, and I do think that for Simmons and Giannis, obviously they're not great shooters regardless, but I do think it's a lot mental, and they just have to change something that they do, some routine that they do to change up the mental aspect of it like if i were yannis the minute i got past the ball i just fucking shoot it right away well what about this what's the rule in terms of foul shot you're not allowed to step your foot can't land on the line or you can step back no i'm saying like when when they're calling a violation in front of you oh it's where if your foot lands before the ball goes into the hoop or hits the backboard or the rim or whatever, right? No, I think you could, if you step back away from the line, you can do it as a jump shot. So that's what I'm saying.
You could, in theory, have him take a couple steps back, sprint towards the basket, run, almost dunk it. I don't know if you're allowed to touch the rim.
Probably not. Never been an issue I would imagine in the past.
I think that might be a lead. Can you jump, lay the ball in, and if it goes into the basket before you land? I don't think so.
I think that you can, because it's when the foot lands. I don't think you can go past the line, though, with the ball in your hand.
Jay, can you look that up? I mean, there's no what. In the air.
The ball would be in your hand across the line. Do you think you're the first person to think of this? But if you have really long arms and you just stand flat-footed and lean over, I'm sure that when they're doing the pimp grip, the underhanded shot, your hand goes in front of the line.
You're saying jump in the air. But he's then holding the ball over the line.
But I think it's only if your feet touch the ground. I think you have to be behind the line when you release the ball.
I think so. I'm just making that up, but that sounds right.

That does sound right. So you can't release

the ball in front of the line.

Also, Trae Young needs a shout-out because

he was terrible shooting, and he made up

for it by being incredible with assists.

Shout-out, Trae Young.

No, I mean, it was like

that's the mark of a really good player

when they don't have their

A-game shooting the ball, and they find another way to basically take over the game, and that's kind of of a really good player when they, you know, when they don't have their a game shooting the ball and they find another

way to basically take over the game.

And that's kind of what he did.

Do you have it for us?

The shooter shall be above the free throw line and within the upper half of

the free throw.

He shall attempt the free throw within 10 seconds of controlling the ball in

such a way that the ball enters the basket of the ring.

The first thing you just said was what it is.

You have to be in that area.

Wait,

say it again.

The shooter shall be above the free throw line and within the upper half of

the So you just said it. The first thing you just said was what it is.
You have to be in that area. Wait, say it again.
The shooter shall be above the free throw line and within the upper half of the free throw. He shall attempt the free throw within 10 seconds of controlling the ball in such a way.
I don't know. But that's it right there.
I don't know if it is or not. Weird language.
Because he would technically be in that area while attempting it. He would just be in midair when he released it.
No, but he would have the ball. Yeah, but he would be in midair.
But the attempt starts when the ball is released, not when you jump. It's part of the act of shooting.
I think the shooting attempt. But if a shot clock violation, if you jump but you still have the ball in the air, that's a shot clock violation.
Right, but that's a question about time, not a question about space. Sorry to interrupt this riveting conversation, but we've got to take Quake.

Reggie Miller just prompted this on Twitter, threw this out there to the people on the bird.

I'm just going to throw this out there to see what the response will be.

If you're Steve Nash in the Nets, would you sit James Harden and Kevin Durant in Game 6 because of the heavy minutes tonight and push all of your chips to the center of table for Game 7? No. James Harden, maybe.
Maybe James Harden. I like where Reggie's head's at, though.
But why would you just... Like, what? Just not try.
What? I never played the game. You don't know what it's like.
Yeah, I never played the game, but I know you gotta play the game. I just Googled it.
Can you dunk from the free throw line? It says, no, you cannot dunk from the free throw line. Maybe you.
Because there are rules in place forbidding you to cross the free throw line until the basket hits the rim. What website is that? Sounds like Bleacher Report.
I don't know why. You're acting like there's people whose entire job is to think about basketball.
There's so many tall basketball players that suck at free throws. So this is not something that you just came up with.
Okay, how about this, Big Cat? Can you lay up from the free throw line? Yes. It's where you jump from.
Players end up inside the three-point line all the time when they shoot, and it still counts as a three. Rule number nine, the free throw shooter may not step over the plane of the free throw line until the ball touches the basket ring, backboard, or what? Isn't that just for the live ball? What do you mean? Not about the time violation.
The ball,

you can't cross the free throw line

until the ball touches the basket ring. Right.

Right. So that means you

can't jump over the free throw line

with the ball in your hand. But they don't measure, they don't judge

the air, they judge lines. Like, out of

bounds. I think they do.
Big Cat, you can jump out of bounds

with the ball, but as long as you don't touch the ground,

you're not out of bounds. But don't you think someone would have done this

if you could do this? No, because they're not as brilliant as I am. Okay.
Okay. You know what? This sounds like a question for the NBA Reddit community that asks those questions like, can you just surround Steph Curry with all of his players holding hands? You're right.
There's rumors that Wilt Chamberlain dunked free throws. There's no actual footage of Wilt dunking from the free throw line.
I think you run into trouble if you touch the backboard or the rim or any of the apparatuses. I think the move would be to take a couple steps.
You cannot do this. There's no way.
You are just. There's no way.
I just like the idea that you think this is the. thought this.
No one has. This very moment.
I've never heard anybody ever discuss it, and certainly not because it's a stupid topic. All right.
Can you legally dunk a free throw in the basketball answer? I didn't say dunk. Well, I mean, but you jumping across the free throw line, it's the same.
No, I'm an advocate for laying the ball into the basket before you hit the ground. But it pretty much says that you can't do that.
You can't cross the line. You're just saying air doesn't count.
Air doesn't count, man. Airspace does not count in basketball.
It's where your foot is. Parallax effect? It could be.
This also sounds like it would be harder for Giannis to basically jump. He has to get the ball to hit the rim before he lands.
Yeah. Every time.
It's almost physically impossible to do, but it's not impossible. Okay, we need a rules official to hit us up.
Jake, you got anything else? You just got the rules. You found the rule book? Yeah, I got the rules.
I got the rule book. I'm pretty sure it feels like illegal.
Either way. It's only illegal until...
It might be one of those things where it's legal until someone's stupid enough to try it. Google that.
Has anyone tried it? Has anyone tried to jump across the free throw line for a free throw in a game? Alright, anything else? The Islanders, that series went 1-1. The Canadians finally showed up to America play in front of some real fans and it was a rave.
Vegas is all the way back. Let's do some hot seat cool throne, yeah? Yeah? That was talking hockey.
What do you guys think real quick? Do you think that the Nets box goes seven, or do you think six? I think it goes seven. It depends if they sit Durant and Harden.
You can't step on or over the line until the ball touches the hoop. Yeah.
Meaning you can't step over the line, meaning your foot can't land over the line. It says the word step.
I don't know. This might be the only time.
They probably don't even have this hypothetical in there. No one's thought of it.
Right. So there's that.
PFT is ahead of everyone here. All right.
Let's do Hot Seat, Cool Throne, brought to you by.

We're going to get right back to the show.

Get ready for Netflix's gripping new medical drama, Pulse.

Set in a cutting-edge Miami trauma center, third-year resident Dr. Danny Sims is unexpectedly thrust into a promotion

when beloved chief resident Dr. Xander Phillips gets suspended.

Then, when the emotional and physical stakes are at their highest, a storm will push the hospital and its residents to their limits. Witness how life can change in a heartbeat when you're operating under pressure.
Watch Pulse, April 3rd, only on Netflix. All right, back to part of my take.
Hank, hot seat, cool throne. My hot seat is guys who eat pussy.
Oh. Box munchers, yeah.
Oh. Cool throne, Junior Soprano.
Yeah, I feel like in the past 10, 20 years, there's kind of been a rise. It's been having a moment, if you will.
Eating pussy? Yeah. But Batman, so there's the Harley Quinn movie, which is the girl, and there is a scene where Batman was eating her pussy, and Jesse shot it down.
They're like, we can't have that. He's a superhero.
Is this directed by troops? He said, you can't do that. You absolutely cannot do that.
Heroes don't do that. And they said, are you saying heroes are just selfish lovers? And they said, no.
It's what we sell to consumer toys for heroes. It's hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.
I disagree. I disagree.
Everyone looks up to heroes. Everyone wants to be a superhero.
Yeah. And if you want to be a superhero, you can't eat pussy.
No. So it's like all the kids with all the dreams, everyone loves Marvel, the Avengers, Batman.
All those kids are going to grow up not going down. Not eating pussy.
Well, I also think that in the last couple years, it's been been a moment for eating ass i feel like ass eating has kind of overtaken eating box in our national discourse and so maybe you think i bet you batman would eat some ass i i don't like this move i think batman should let's be able to eat anything i'd walk out of theater what oh really well wait wait Batman's not a, wait. Wait.
Batman's not a superhero. Is he? Oh, yeah.
Technically, he's not. He's just a rich guy.
And I bet, yeah, rich guys don't eat pussy. That's true.
I agree with that. Superman.
Michael Douglas. Yeah.
Yeah, that's true. He got cancer because he ate so much poon tang.
He's the poon hound of the millennium. Facts only.
It is. That is literally what happened happened.
But yeah, I feel like a billionaire doesn't eat pussy. And that's what Batman is.
He's just a billionaire with a belt. Maybe that's why Bezos and them got divorced.
Yeah, good call. And Bill Gates.
Bill Gates isn't going down on bitches. Nope.
Nope. Superman would eat the fuck out of a clit.
Where's Bill Gates been? Has he gotten hot yet? I'm waiting to see him pop up just ripped. I can't wait until Jeff Bezos leaves and then comes back and we all pretend not to know him.
My cool throw in his Girl Scout cookies. Nice transition.
Thank you. Now that's a box I would eat, Hank.
Got him. You meant to do that.
That's a five head transition that I totally meant to do. There's a huge shortage because of coronavirus.
or no, there's a huge, there's a... You meant to do that.
That's a five-head transition that I totally meant to do. Mm-hmm.
There's a huge shortage because of coronavirus. I know there's a huge...
There's 11 million bonus boxes that they didn't sell. Oh, so there's a surplus.
Surplus. This year, there's going to...
Two-for-ones. Oh.
A lot of bang for your buck if you're a Girl Scout cookie fan. I love it.
I love it, too. I'm a Tagalog guy.
15 million boxes of unsold cookies due to the stupid coronavirus. What's the peanut butter chocolate one? That's Tagalog.
Yeah, those are fucking sick. Those are amazing.
Tagalog? Tagalog. Tagalog is the language.
Thin mints in the freezer, Tagalogs and Samoas. That's all you need.
So what they should do is they should just burn the overstock, right? Don't some companies do that? If they have a surplus, they just destroy it so it doesn't devalue the rest of them? It's like maple syrup. Big maple syrup.
I always respected, by the way, Loud Sean because I think his daughter is a Girl Scout, and he never really took advantage of the fact that this entire office is full of fat stoners, so he could have easily just taken advantage of us. He always hit me up for a decent amount but he he knows deep down if he's like hey do you want 400 boxes i'd be like yes thank you let's go that's it that's it okay all right good job thanks uh great job you took my hot seat with the pussy talk over there hank but that's fine i'll adapt i'll evolve my hot seat is the u.s open and more specifically their

ratings for thursday because they have declined to group brooksy and blake together wait they didn't decline brooksy did correct but they actually not true no no hank hank that's fake news hank it's my understanding you're you're saying our guy barstool banks was lying well he he merely saw a tweet and he reported the tweet.

He talked to the agent.

He saw,

no, To my understanding... You're saying our guy Barstool Banks was lying? Well, he merely saw a tweet, and he reported the tweet.
No, he talked to the agent. He saw...
No, the agent talked to... I don't think the agent talked to Banks.
You blow up the blog. Maybe I'm wrong.
I might be wrong. I've been wrong before.
Not about the free throw thing, but about other stuff. And I think that the word coming out...
Oh, wait. So you're saying we should just blindly trust what Bryson DeChambeau's agent says about it.
Fair. It's my understanding that they were both asked and that Bryson DeChambeau turned it down because he didn't want to turn it into.
Basically, Brooks was going to live rent free in Brooksie's head. And so he turned it down.
By the way, that's a little life hack for all the kids out there if you ever want to say something without sounding stupid about it instead of saying like i heard or i thought say it was my understanding that so it's my understanding as a reporter that bryson actively turned it down because he's a pussy and batman wouldn't eat him i uh the entire thing just the point that like, it's good for golf because they clearly wanted this to happen. The U S open wanted it to happen.
I mean, it led sports center, like all these things. So Brandley, Chambly, and all these people who are like, Oh, this is bad for golf.
Dude, people are going to watch because if you put them together, people would have tuned in on Thursday and Friday that normally wouldn't have tuned in. And you can say, oh, that's not the type of fan we're trying to attract.
I think if you're any sport besides the NFL, any fan's a good fan. Do you think that active, diehard old-school golf fans, I'm talking 50s, 60s, would not tune in because Brooks and Bryson were playing together? No.
Because they thought it was. No.
They'd still watch. Yeah.
You'd be gaining fans. Of course.
You'd be gaining massive amounts of media coverage. Which is money for everyone, including Brantley Chambly.
Mm-hmm. So, way to hurt yourself, bro.
Yeah. All those guys screaming, nice shot, Brooksie at Bryson, they pay your salary, Brooks.
Mm-hmm. Look at Marv Alberts getting a little.
What a guy. What a class act.
A career well spent. Isn't that a class act, Jake? And he got the jersey with the microphone.
Or is that handcuffs? Wow. That's a mic up.
Yeah. And what's on the front? The ball gag? The front is just a brassiere.
There's no front of the jersey. It's just bite marks.
Lace, yeah.

All right, your cool throne.

My cool throne is the narrative that Alabama quarterbacks are busts in the NFL.

Oh.

Because Tua, there are varying media reports,

but he threw approximately 300 interceptions in practice yesterday.

And so now it's a case of looking at the sidelines and seeing, Do you know who the backup is? The backup. Josh Rosen.
Yeah. Maybe.
Jacoby Brissett. And Jacoby Brissett, he's the ultimate guy where you look on the sidelines and you're like, maybe...
He's going to look fat in that uniform. No, he's good for a few starts.
He's not going to look good in that uniform. I'm just going to say that out loud right now.
What we're seeing here is because he had that one bad game at the start of minicamp or whatever they're calling this set of workouts, there's going to be reporters that fire up a tweet every single time he throws an interception in training camp. Everyone is going to be documented.
It's going to be like the RG3 year in Cleveland where they were reporting on the various barnyard animals that he was accidentally hitting with throws over a fence. That's what happened.
So this is going to snowball, and then that's going to feed right back into the Alabama quarterbacks can't play. And as just a fan of narratives in general, I'm here for it very much.
Hank, is Matt Jones wearing 50 as a joke? I guess it's a thing. It's like an earn your number thing.
Every time I see it, I'm like, what's going on here? Okay. That makes sense.
I thought it was like, how many DUIs have you had? 50. Cam Newton's got a great nickname for him, though.
What is it? Mac and Cheese. That's pretty good.
Oh, damn. Because it's Mac? Mac.
Where's the cheese? Well, like, Mac and Cheese is a food. But where's the cheese with Mac Jones?

Mac Jones, who?

Okay.

All right, my hot seat is MLB.

They've done it again.

The spider attack controversy that they knew about forever

and decided, hey, we're going to now start punishing people.

They went zero tolerance policy, eliminated all substances,

and now Tyler Glasnow, incredible pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays,

is basically saying he got injured because of it

because he went from being able to use a bunch of different stuff,

including sunscreen, which I guess is, I think you, Darvish, used to use sunscreen... Sunscreen and rosin.
It's a mixture, yeah, when you combine them together. But he is blaming his UCL injury on this, which might be a reach, but I also could kind of see that if you just completely change how you throw a baseball in the middle of the season, you might overextend and try to do things that you're not comfortable with.
So good job, MLB. You really fucking did it again, you idiots.
They're finding a great way to stay relevant in the middle of the season, which is it's very much Major League Baseball to have everybody focused on the sport for something that is – we're really just talking about how badly they've mismanaged something about the sport. And it's been badly.
It's been pretty bad. So they, like, you're allowed to still – you can use sunscreen during day games.

You can't combine it.

You can't use sunscreen if you're playing a game indoors with roof closed, which I guess I understand that one.

That kind of makes sense.

But they're saying, like, if it's an evening game, if you're in a transition period where the sun is going down, try to get all the sunscreen off your body before it gets totally dark out there that's gonna be a just a treat to watch umpires try to police that yeah so i don't know what they're gonna do they're just gonna like make them show their hands every time they go out make them like go out and like rub the back of their arms so all i know is that if i were the yankees they're the yankees are looking for a reason to fire aaron boone at this point i if i the Yankees' ownership, I'd be like, yeah, we're going to fire Aaron Boone because he was the one that was in charge of teaching our players all the cheating, so now he's out, and then they can hire whoever it is they want to hire. But it's a good way to have a scapegoat.
If you've got somebody you want to fire, tie it into this narrative. It's just so stupid.
MLB is so fucking stupid. They're just so goddamn stupid.
They've known about this forever, and then it became a story because they ignore it, and then when it becomes a story, they basically go swing the pendulum as far the other way. It's just so, so dumb.
Just wait until the offseason. Trevor Bauer said this, but it's like you just deal with it for the season and wait for the offseason to make drastic changes, but to just do this, be like, all right, Monday, you can do this Wednesday.
If you do this, you're suspended. Right.
Yeah. But with Trevor Bauer saying, like, take what Trevor Bauer said.
He's like, maybe you guys should wait until I'm a free agent again to start policing this. But it's so stupid to do this, like in the middle of the season, like to go from maybe just blame.
Maybe just say no spider tech. You know, the sunscreen, the rods and all this other shit.
Find a different way. I mean, guys doctor their bats and their grips and shit.
It's just so dumb. I think they're just pissed because I think home runs are down, right, Jake? Home runs might be down, so they're like, hey, we've got to figure out a way to get home runs back.
Because they had the juice baseball, then they had to unjuice the baseball. MLB is just so dumb and incompetent, and they always get in their own way.
It's incredible. They're responding to the controversy of too many no-hitters, and a big reason for that is because they did change the baseball.
So they're kind of, in two different ways, responding to their own fuck-ups. They're so stupid.
All right, my cool throne is Andy Dalton. He's QB1.
Matt Nagy, wow, way to go, dude. Only the bears.
Only Matt Nagy would name his QB one before you even have training camp. He said he can't envision a scenario in which Justin Fields would start.
I do. I'm actually okay with Justin Fields, not starting week one.
What I'm not okay with is being like, there's no competition. How do you, every, every like successful football team ever basically is like, yeah's always a competition the best guy like you know iron sharpens iron you think Bel Belichick would be like oh yeah there's 0% chance that Mac Jones could ever beat out Cam Newton he probably Cam Newton's probably QB1 right now but if Mac Jones killed Cam Newton in camp he would play the best guy yeah it also shows a real lack of creativity on Matt Nagy's part to not even be able to think of a scenario where he might start.
Yeah, how about Andy Dalton gets hit by a bus? No, I don't want him to. I actually like Andy Dalton.
He's a really nice guy. But what if that happens? Kyle Shanahan can envision seven different scenarios in which Jimmy Garoppolo won't be alive tomorrow.
Matt Nagy can't even think of one where he's his ticker's going to give out before September, what, 10th? Fucking idiot. All right, Jake, quickly.
Hot seat is Mullets. Gardner Minshew cut his off.
Yeah, he can win a Super Bowl now. But Dana Blowjobs still has his.
King of Blowjobs. If anyone's looking for one, Dana Beers, he's now transitioned to being King of Blowjobs.
You think Wonder Woman gives head? Yeah. the misogyny is just off the charts over at dc cool throne is madden codes we're getting

a cover of two goats that's all they said on a thursday tomorrow all right they're announcing

two goats i quickly quickly what are you gonna say what your your idea that john madden should

be on the cover john no no i actually said no we should go visit i know he wants to kill no hey he's trying to kill john madden i'm not you are i'm saying we need to go we need to go visit death over john madden because a picture came out of ronnie lott visiting john madden it looked like at a retirement home no but he doesn't look that old since the day he stopped announcing. It looks different.
No, he's

looked very old. It looks different, different

this time. And the fact that...
You're trying to kill him.

No, I'm not. The fact that Ronnie Lott had to

post a picture saying like,

look who's still alive. It's John Madden.
Can you believe

it? Like, I don't know.

I'm a big believer in

honoring those amongst us while

they're still alive. Yeah.
Give the roses

to the living is what they say. Let's name a video game after him.
Put John Madden back on the cover of Madden. So who's going to be? Who do we think is going to be? Tom Brady and...
Mahomes, my guess. Oh, did you see, by the way, Aaron Rodgers saying, I'm offended? Mm-hmm.
But I think that people were linking it to the GM saying he's a complicated fella, which pretty much means he's a dick. You don't say someone's a complicated...
If you ask, hey, how's that guy? Is he cool? Well, he's complicated. He's got a great personality.
That is the nicest way to say he's an asshole. And again, I want Aaron Rodgers to be happy, so I'm not saying he's an asshole, but other people are.
Your GM is calling you an asshole. Just think about that.
Your GM called you an asshole. All right, let's get to our interviews.
We've got Jay Cutler, Sons and Four guy, Will Compton to end the show. We're going to get right back to the show.
Auto insurance can all seem the same until it comes time to use it. So don't get stuck paying more for less coverage.

Restrictions apply.

USA!

All right, back to part of my take.

Okay, here he is, Jay Cutler.

Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, recurring guest, very close dear friend of mine.

It is Jay Cutler, my quarterback, from the Bahamas?

From the Bahamas.

Let me see.

A little Caribbean vacation.

Thank you. dear friend of mine.
It is Jay Cutler, my quarterback, from the Bahamas? From the Bahamas.

Let me see. A little Caribbean vacation.

Ooh, look at that. That's not bad.

That is beautiful. You got a balcony bed

out there? Yeah, there's a little

balcony bed, little hot

tub. It's nice.

Okay. Hair's looking good.

We got you on. We're going to talk

whatever. We're going to shoot the shit, but we also got to talk a little Father's Day.
You've got cuts. You're doing a new, I mean, I guess it's a line.
It's a line of meat. Yeah, it's a line of meat.
Yes, with Pat LaFriedis, and you sent us some. Delicious.
So what's the deal? How can people do it, and what are they looking for for Father's Day? Yeah, thank you. So Father's Day is coming up.
You're a father, so you know the importance of the day. Not to take away from Mother's Day.
Cuts, you can log in on the website, cutsbyjmpat.com. And we've got a new box, our subscription boxes.

We've got one month,

three months, and six months.

And then we're doing a gift box on Father's Day

with a 40-ounce tomahawk in there.

You're going to get some steaks.

You're going to get some hot dogs.

You're going to get all the stuff.

So I've been lucky,

really lucky to team up with Pat.

I mean, him and his crew are phenomenal.

Yeah, we have the tomahawks.

I cooked the tomahawk the other day.

Can people out there order the tomahawk that's got the engraved name in the bone? That was just special for you. It was nice.
Thank you. I don't think I can eat another animal that doesn't have my name laser cut into it.
I know. It's pretty cool.
The Father's Day one has number one dad engraved in it. That's cool.
Yeah, we're doing that. Hopefully.
I never i said this last year like i think it's bullshit that everyone gets number one dad like rank me appropriately what do you think you land i'm like somewhere i don't know if you did every how many dads are there in the world i mean let's just i mean 150 i don't know i'd say i'm in the top i'd say i'm in the top 20% of dads. Top 20%.
Yeah, I think I'm top 20% of dads.

Why? I don't know. I think I do a pretty good job.
I'm not saying I'm top 10%. You have a pretty good job.
That's like top 40%. Top 40% is elite.
What do you think, Jay? I don't know. I feel like it's easier than you think to be in the top 10 percent oh okay just yeah like be around a lot be around be attentive you know don't hit them i mean there's i mean there's i feel like there's some i feel like there's unfortunately some absent dads out there right and those guys are getting like number one dad engraved tomawks, and it's not fair.
Right. Totally.
But if you're... I'd put you top 10%.
Ooh. If you're an absent dad, sometimes that's better than being there and being a shitty dad.
If you're... Yeah, right, right.
If you were... True.
Yeah, that is true. It's like less is more, addition by subtraction.
I just wish they would rank us. Like, I wish we would get a power rankings.
That's what they should do for Father's Day. They should just have a selection show and rank all the dads.
Not everyone gets number one. I think The Rock probably gets number one.
If you were to seed dads, who are the four number one seeds of dads? I think The Rock is up there. The Williams dad? No, he's a helicopter dad.
Yeah, but they won multiple majors. Both daughters.
That's true is rock why is rock one i don't know he just fucking always posting these guys little i think it's just the i think it's the like how big of a human being he is and then he has like a tiny little daughter so he it's almost like a uh disney movie come to life well yeah all of his movies yeah i love the rock but i mean i'll play devil's advocate maybe he's compensating because he's gone so much he's just posting some you know uh-huh yeah so i if you had to go by that then i would say probably the best dad in the world is someone we never hear from yeah ever probably what about uh mr long what about howie long yes howie long i mean chris and Chris and Kyle and Howie Jr. all came out pretty good.
Antonio Cromartie has to be up there. He's up there for sure.
Top 10 for sure. Just by numbers, if you're going just numbers game.
Yeah, he's a compiler. He puts together a lot of garbage time.
If you can have kids, that many kids, that close in age, you have to be doing something right. Yes, yes.
Yeah, they all don't hate you. You get a lot of credit for that.
All right, so Father's Day, we got on a little tangent there. I was thinking about this.
Vanderbilt, they just hired a new coach. Did they reach out coaching them yeah no um I talked to them um briefly uh and then I don't know who's on the committee that makes that picks the coach I have no idea um I talked to the AD um once and then they kind of just didn't contact me anymore So I don't know i don't know what happened wait so that sounds like they did reach out or did you reach out i'm basically no no no they they reached out just to get my opinion like you know who i thought what they needed not for me to actually coach i would never coach there but oh you would coach somewhere else then no No, I would never coach, period.
Interesting.

That's a shitty profession.

Yeah, it is.

It honestly seems miserable.

It has to be miserable.

Even if you're the greatest at your job and you're winning national championships,

you're allowed to be happy for about 30 minutes, and then it's back to be miserable.

Yeah, and I feel like your dad ranking just plummets when you're doing the coaching.

Yes, for sure. Big time.
Although, you let your kids run on the field after the game. True.
I mean, there's perks. They get swag.
They get cool stuff. They just never see you.
They just never see you. Right, right.
I like that they at least asked you, though. They came and they kissed the ring a little bit for Jay Cutler.
But in terms of your future professional aspirations, last time we talked, I think that there was talk about you getting in the booth. People forget, you were actually hired by Fox for like a week, and then you were like, you know what, I'm going to go back and play football again.
First of all, I guess we should ask, are you officially, officially retired from football? Yeah, officially, officially retired. I've been owning some of the friends here in pool games this week so my arms my arms warming back up but i don't think i'm ready for the big time yet so are you going to get in the booth though um i don't know um we i had conversations about it two or three months ago um you know my problem with that is every away every game is an away game.
You travel every week. And, you know, whenever you're playing, Saturday afternoon you're gone, you play Sunday and you're back.
Like you have to be there Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and you travel 16 straight weeks. I mean, I'm not opposed to it.
You know, just right now it's not something that I that i'm 100 fired up to do if there was a home team that played all their games in the bahamas you'd consider it oh yeah 100 okay all over it wait this sounds to me like you're kind of making a running here for number one dad because you're essentially saying my job right now is to be a dad um i think i'm trying to break in the top 10 what can you actually just be a dad like is that enough in your day no no no no no yeah you need to find out no i would hate my kids by that point you got to find something else to do yeah if i hear if i hear daddy or dad one more time i'm gonna kill somebody yeah so wait, what are you going to do then? Tell us. Give us some news.
I just signed a podcast deal. Got that happening.
Okay. Nice.
Awesome. Yeah.
Welcome to the Terror Dome. Yeah.
I'm not sure how that's going to go. I mean, it can't be that hard.
You guys should sit there and talk to people. Essentially,.
It's the easiest thing. You're going to be great at it.
So that, we have the cuts thing, and then I'm working with some guys in Nashville on a company that we're getting close to. It's kind of a media company type of thing, so we're getting close to doing some stuff with that.
You're going to invent a media company? I'm not inventing anything. I'm coming up with some guys that have a media company.
Interesting. Does his name start with Clay Travis? No, but Clay knows about the media program.
So it's Jay Cutler and Ben Shapiro. Oh, no, Ben.
Oh, is that Tommy in the background? Tell her I say hi. How? All right.
So here's a real question. How weird is it to be retired, but everything you say or do becomes news? Like, I don't know what it is about you, but you have something about you that people just want to talk about you.
Is it, is it annoying that everything you say becomes news or do you kind of like the fact that hey still got it yeah i mean kind of like the fact still got it you know you can make some money um now it doesn't bother me now because you know i'm not playing football so you can say whatever you want like i could care less um and i don't have to i get to pick and choose who i want to talk to when i want to talk them. And I'm usually talking about stuff I want to talk about anyway.
So now it's fine with me. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I think I'm kind of on the barstool train. Like, you know, all publicity is good publicity at this point.
Yeah, well, be careful. That could end up in a sex tape.
Yeah. Just don't let it cross state lines.
You'll be good. Was there anything like when you were doing publicity in the in the nfl after a game you'd be like talking to the reporters or like the people that you had obligations to talk to would you know in the middle of an interview like this is what i just said a couple seconds ago that's gonna suck because that's gonna be taken in a certain context and my week is gonna be tough or did you just not care i don't think i didn't care um you know i think i got to a point where it's like they're gonna write like most of the time i get to get to a point like these guys have already written an article like they're done they've already written it they've got what they want to say you know they're just looking for one thing out of me um and you know depending on the mood sometimes i gave it to him sometimes i would literally be as vague as humanly possible.
And then sometimes my favorite Jay move would be if he didn't feel like talking to the media, he'd just send Kyle Long in his place to Waddle and Sylvie's show. And then it was like seven in a row where it's like, hey, Jay just doesn't want to do this anymore.
I think he quit. Yeah.
Yeah. He was like, wait, what the hell? I'm just doing this now every single week?

I'm Jake Cutler.

Kyle's like, do I got to rename the show?

What's happening here?

You should just put on a wig and worn one of your jerseys and pretend it to be you.

Mega J.

Yeah.

He texted me a couple days ago.

That's a shame about his legs.

I know.

I know.

He hurt his leg.

He got injured.

He got rolled up on.

Apparently, he might be back for the regular season, though. Yeah, he said.
He's going to keep track. I think it's three or four months he should be back.
And not to toot his horn because he's his own guy, but apparently he was dominating in practice. I'm just going to say that.
Oh, really? Well, that's what he told me. So, I'll happily, for a friend, I'll happily say that he was definitely dominating.
It doesn't surprise me. I mean, he's a freak show.
Yeah. Yeah, he is.
Like, he puts his hands on you. It's game over.
Yeah. Yeah.
Do you feel, like, 100% physically healthy now? Yeah. You know, I didn't have any knee problems or anything like hips.
I had shoulder surgery. So, physically, I think I feel good.
I've lost weight. I would say memory and stuff like that.
It's coming at some point. You think so? Without a doubt.
Because how many concussions did you end up having, you think? Oh, I mean, since I've been playing in double digits. 15.
Shit. Damn.
That's one of those things where it's like almost waiting for it can be its own personal type of injury where you're just like – you psych yourself out for it enough, and you think every time you forget something like, oh, what if this is the start of it? What if it started to degenerate? Are you able – like is there anything that has been whispered to you or is kind of like floating out there just under the surface of ways that you can try to prevent some of that stuff from taking onset um you know i'm doing a thing called nad now which i don't even know what nad stands for you have to google it but uh it's an iv drip um and it kind of goes it starts like the mitochondria like the the basis of your cells. Powerhouse.
It starts regenerating from that side. You know, fish oil, heavy amounts of fish oil are supposed to help the brain.
You know, I think diet, you know, less sugar, less carbs, you know, as much as you possibly can do. But, you know, concussions are scary.
What was the worst one? Was was it i have an idea of what might have been but what was the worst one like that you were like holy shit i don't remember any of it um i would say the texans one but you you obviously texans one texan was bad texan was bad um we were playing i think we were playing washington and i got It was a DB. I forget who it was And I just got slung around He just slung me around and threw me down And the side of my head hit And that's kind of One of the only times I was out out I was out for a second And got up and walked off I don't know I think if you play long enough it's gonna happen to you yeah what uh so speaking of of guys who are who are still playing and uh weird situation but i think you're kind of friends with them now aaron rogers have you like what do you make of that it's it's it's like it's weird because it's it just feels like it's not going to be resolved and they're just kind kind of sitting there like, all right, who's making the first move here?

Well, he's not.

I mean, I haven't talked to him.

I haven't spoke to him on this.

I mean, I'm kind of letting him be.

I don't really want to bother him.

But I doubt he's going to break.

Yeah.

I think this has been brewing for a long time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've got a theory that he might just disappear.

He seems like the kind of guy who at least has had those conversations

where he's like, I don't need to be around sports.

I don't need to be in the spotlight that much.

What if we just, like, ran away and went off the grid together?

I'll see with that. You know, he's in love.
He's engaged. Life's in order.
He feels at peace. I mean, I can see him rolling out, but he's also competitive as hell as hell too so i mean i think that's going to be hard for him just to walk away um the year after he wins the mvp i mean i mean he's on fire i mean green bay green bay needs to figure it out they need to do whatever it takes literally whatever it takes yeah they i mean it seems like they they are gonna just sit there and be like all right you playing for us or you're not playing for anyone.
But one of the teams that he's been rumored to go to, your former team, which I know you loved it there, Denver. Like, that's a really – just, you know, talk up Denver real quick for Aaron if he's listening.
Like, it's an awesome place, right? Awesome place. Fans are awesome.
Stadium's awesome. Facilities is awesome.
The weather. I mean, it's an unbelievable city.
Happiness. Yeah.
Everyone. I mean, sunny.
There's 300 days of sunshine a year out there. You get all four seasons.
It's a great place. Great place to play football, too.
I don't know. Who do they have? Do they have anybody on offense? We've got Teddy Bridgewater.
No got uh teddy bridgewater no no no they actually have good uh receivers they got uh fuck what fanta the no offense no offense they've got um fanta jerry judy yeah really fast receiver he can go yep who else did they get they got a couple other guys they actually have some good weapons yeah i mean it't matter. I mean, they're just going to run around and figure it out.
Yeah, right. But might as well figure it out with 300 Days of Sunshine when maybe you're not so happy in Green Bay.
Absolutely. But, I mean, why didn't Green Bay go after Julio? I mean, they gave him to Tennessee.
I think maybe because the Falcons might not want to have traded him like within the, it's not like within the conference. Yeah, but it's not like Atlanta was going to be competing for a Super Bowl this year.
Yeah. Not at all.
I don't really get that either. They should have at least at the very minimum done what the Celtics do all the time, which is say that you're going for somebody and then when you don't get them, be like, we tried to get them.
him. That way at least Aaron knows.
Yeah, some sort of peace offering. Hey, we're trying to get you somebody.
Yeah. So, Justin Fields, do you like him? Do you think that he's going to be successful in Chicago? I don't know.
I saw him in college this year. I haven't studied him or anything.
Are they going to play him? I mean, is that the word up there? I don't know. It feels like they're they're not what would you do like if you knowing everything that you had in your career do you think that there's or do you land on the hey just put the guy in because he'll either figure it out or he won't or let the guy sit and learn how to be a pro for a little bit which one would you side on uh 100 let him sit really 100 i mean that used to be what everyone did back in the day like you know very few I mean Dan Marino kind of started but a lot of those guys you know they sat and watched for a little bit um and I think there's a lot I think it's very valuable I think you you you get settled in um you know I think guys now are a little bit more tuned and ready for NFL than they were 10, 15 years ago when I

came in.

It's just a different game.

These guys are coming from

these programs that they've

had one loss or two losses their

entire career. They play with the best

kids in the country on their team.

Competition isn't really that

great. They play a few games a year that are tight.
You get the NFL and everyone's good. Everyone's good.
And also, I know this is bashing my own team, but if you had to say it, Ohio State runs better as a franchise than the Bears. Just from a football ops situation, they are.
They do. They have a better culture.
They have probably just as good facilities, all these things. I was probably better.
Yeah. The only thing going against Justin Fields right now is he's been told that he's going to be back up, that they wanted him to sit, they wanted him to watch.
Oh, yeah? Hasn't been told that? Well, they've said Andy's our starter going into the season. Yeah, depending on what.
Justin Fields is going to be your number two. But once you get through the second preseason game and it's become very obvious to everybody, not just in the games, but in practices, that Justin Fields is a better player, they're at some point this year going to be like, we've got to put him out there.
Especially if they start losing a few games in a row. Matt Nagy is going to be like, yeah, we've got to save jobs.
Let's put Justin Fields out there for a little bit. But yeah, you can tell that in a locker room, right? Like if you, if the coach isn't playing the best player, guys get pissed, right? Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely. I mean, quarterback's a little bit different because, you know, offense, defensive guys, you know, they're cycling in and out of practice.
As a quarterback, as a backup, you might get two reps. So you're not going to see that much of him in the regular season if they can get him to that point.
But if he's head and shoulders better, yeah, it's going to be a problem at some point. But, I mean, I think Andy's – I don't think he's going to go in there and just blow Andy out of the water.
It not awful by any means yeah I mean I not that you don't have to tell me yeah we have history with that 80 14 tell me that isn't that weird that that ended up happening that he I know I know I I would take you over Andy Dalton right now I would I would wait who's a better dad yeah you for sure well I can't speak to Andy Dalton right now. I would.
Wait, who's a better dad? You, for sure. Well, I can't speak to Andy Dalton.
I've seen you with your kids. You're a good dad.
Does he have kids? Yeah, he's got a bunch. Does he? Yeah.
Wait, so I have a, this is kind of like a I don't know where you can go with this. I don't think that they should plan.
They shouldn't plan to him to start, see how the season goes. If they start losing a bunch of games, I'd wait until week 10 or something.
If they start off on fire, even better. They don't have to play him.
Yeah. Well, how quickly, when you start a camp, how quickly can you tell the new guys, the rookies, they got it or they don't? Can you tell, all right, this guy's going to be pro or this guy I don't know what they saw but he does not have that it factor oh I mean I think I think players know before scouts and coaches do you know scouts and coaches they're on on potential and you know we can we can we can grow him you know he's gonna do whatever it is like as a player you don't care either you either you can step in the huddle and make some stuff happen for us or you can't.
That's it. So a couple practices and, you know, most of the guys know who can play and who can't play.
Was there ever a guy who surprised you who, like, right away you're like, oh, he can't play. And then he's like, oh, he actually can play.
I was wrong. No.
No. I mean, nobody that jumps off the page like that.

Because, I mean, you just know.

I mean, we've been playing football with guys since we've been five.

So it's not lost on anybody.

What about?

But unfortunately, you know, not many GMs,

not many coaches listen to their players that often.

So that's where they get screwed.

I think they know more than we do. Right.
Are you still a gunslinger? Yeah. Day-to-day life? How do you maintain a gunslinger lifestyle when you're not playing football? You go to the Bahamas and just hang out.
Yeah. Pool games, sling some meat.
Are you throwing papers into the trash can from across the room just recklessly oh yeah always throwing stuff around we were playing uh we're trying to we're with some some guys here and we're trying to come up with new pool games because one guy with us literally hasn't won one yet there's a great game called dimmy yeah hank tell him tell him about dimmy hank's got a game for you hank's got a game for you. You drop a – one person puts a golf tee at the bottom of a pool.

I don't know if he's talking about pool.

I think he's talking about pool.

No, no, he's talking about jumping in the Bahamas.

You drop a golf tee into the bottom of the pool,

and then everyone stands around, and you just have to, like,

spot the golf tee, and the first person to grab it wins.

It'll float up slowly and kind of drift up,

and you have to just, you know, first person to see it jump in and grab it. And if someone misses it, then it kind of floats around.
It's chaos. That's a good game.
It's essentially the same game that you would play with like six golden retrievers. Yeah, it's a good game.
It's a good game. With a stick.
Yeah, that's a good game. I don't, you're not, I'm not sold on this game.
Listen, get your guys around, just stand them on the edge of the pool. One guy goes to the bottom of the pool with a golf tee, and you'll see what happens.
It's fun. Okay.
We're going to try it. Yeah.
Okay. I'm curious here, Hank.
So when they let it go at the bottom, you can't see it, right? No. So it's totally invisible, and then eventually it'll float up high enough where somebody will spot it.
Yes. Okay.
What's the guy that – So one person will see it first, but then other people will jump in reactively. And then if someone doesn't get it like right away, like if they don't get it on the first jump, then it's all the people are in the pool now, and it's floating around.
You can't see it anywhere. You just can't see it.
It's like where is it, and then someone will eventually get it. So the guy that has to go into the water first, is he just kind of out there or he has to get back out? No, he's going to get up, get up, stand up.
Oh, the guy who puts in the dimmy has to get up. He puts it down on the bottom, and then he gets up out of the pool, and then everyone stands around.
Yeah. But he's got an advantage because he knows where the T is.

I don't know what you want.

You guys are trying to, like, game break the game to me.

It's a fucking pool game.

Like, I don't know what you want me to say. We'll play this really bad.

We'll play this too fast.

You guys are trying to, like, break the game open.

You ever do the one where you just jump off the diving board

and then have one of your friends, like, toss a tennis ball to you in midair?

Oh, yeah.

That's great.

That's the best.

That's a classic.

That's a great game. Wait, so this T has to be white, I take it, right? Yes.
Well... Could be a brown one.
Probably not blue. Yeah.
We've got plastic, wood. I don't know.
You grab a fucking golf tee and fucking put it at the bottom of the pool. We're trying to get some rules here, you know? Yeah.
Is there, like, points? Do you get points or anything? Is this a drinking game? First person to ten. First person to ten.
First person to ten? Yeah. That sounds like a war of nutrition.
This is a workout now. Yeah.
Afternoon, a full afternoon going after. Could you imagine watching this from afar? Why the fuck are these guys jumping in?? I haven't really played it since I was 12 or 13, so I don't know how it will be with full-bodied adults, but you can report back.
It should be an Olympic sport, Hank. That's a good sport.
We talked to Brett Favre, another gunslinger, a couple months ago, and he actually had a really interesting answer to a question. We asked him what his favorite interception was, and he told us to a tee what his favorite pickoff was.
Do you have a favorite interception? Yeah. It wasn't in a game.
It was in practice. It was my rookie year in Denver, and Champ Bailey picked me off in practice, and he had on – like Champ's swag like, through the roof.
And he had on this blacked-out visor. Looked like Darth Vader over there.
Scared to death to throw it his way. Because, I mean, he was an intercepting machine.
And it was a hitch. And he was, like, eight yards off.
He was, like, eight yards off. And I was like, just don't look his way.
Just take your three, bang it out there. We get a completion.
We can move on to the next fight. Just don't look over there.
So I'm kind of peeking that way. Snap it.
I'm like, eyes are straight through. One, two, three.
And I literally just threw it with a missile. I was like, just beat him.
Just get the ball there ball there as fast as possible and this dude i don't know how he did it but he was eight yards he might have taken like two steps back and then like literally just wham gone picked it off high steps like 80 yards down the field i was like well okay well i guess this is the nfl don't Coach Jambalee. Yeah.
He was that dude. He was so good.

It was unbelievable how well, okay. Well, I guess this is the NFL.
Don't throw a champ Bailey. Yeah.
He was

that dude. He was

so good. It was unbelievable how good

he was. And he tackled.
He did everything.

Yeah. Everything.
I mean, he'd mix

it up. I mean, he was

phenomenal. Unbelievable player.

What about a touchdown

you threw that you were like,

fuck, man. My arm is awesome.

Oh, that was my rookie year too i think um it was to uh javon uh what what you went to a receiver um javon walker javon walker yep and it was a bootleg. So Fates right, and I was rolling left.
And he was on the left side too, and it was a double move, and he ended up back in the post. And I was going left, and someone was coming at me, and I flipped my hips real fast and literally just, I mean, lasered one like 65 yards, hit him in stride at like the five and I got smoked after it.
I'm watching it right now. Yeah.
Are you? Week 14 against the Cardinals. It's a 54-yard touchdown.
You got smoked at the end and that throw is fucking sick. Holy shit.
And you're like, damn, I got a fucking cannon.

I was like, all right, we can do this.

That's awesome.

That's a great throw.

Do you have any throws that you made that maybe didn't count during the game?

Maybe there was a hold?

A throw that time forgot that you still remember?

Like, damn, I wish that one had counted.

No, I don't know.

There's a couple little loft throws that I made in the tight stuff. I was like, man, that was really good.
That was a really good throw. Dude, this throw is sick.
It is pretty good. This throw is sick.
You put it right out in front of him. I mean, that's great that that was the one that came right in your mind because it is absolutely up there.
Yeah, that throw is nasty. Yeah.
There's some dudes out there that can just throw the football now, though. You know? I mean, Aaron has a cannon.
Stafford's underrated. He's got a cannon.
And Brady, somehow, his arm's gotten stronger. Interesting.
With Matt Stafford going to Los Angeles, I feel like that's the move that we haven't really talked about that much this offseason.

But, like, is he good enough to bring the Rams back to the Super Bowl right now?

I think so.

I think he's going to blow it up.

Coaching staff's good.

He's going to have some of the best play calling he's ever had in his life.

And he's still talented.

Duke can throw it.

He's competitive.

Yeah.

I think he's a future Hall of Famer. People get mad at me for that.
But he's going to have – he's future hall of famer people get mad at me

for that but he is gonna have i don't know how they'll judge this era for quarterbacks because it's gonna be difficult because obviously the numbers are so inflated but if he plays for another i don't know four or five years he will be like numbers wise up there with with everyone else yeah um you're 100. His numbers are going to be ridiculous.
But, I mean, if he doesn't win a playoff game for the rest of his career, is he still in? Right. That's the problem.
I think he has to go. What I've said is he's going to be a Hall of Famer if he can get a deep run, which means he's got to get to a championship game or a Super Bowl.
I think that would be – because then you have the stories that are written about him. Everyone's like, oh, Matt Stafford's so underrated.
He needs that moment that everyone starts to kind of wake up to him like, ooh, yeah. He actually has had a nice career in bad situations.
Yeah, and he's made a ton of money. It's incredible how much money he's made there.
They they're winning like two games a year. Yeah.
Yeah.

It is actually crazy.

And he's tough as hell.

I feel like he's one of those guys that gets beat up all the time and never misses games, except he broke his back.

Yeah.

I was doing some – and he also had some shoulder issues.

But I'm saying the only time he missed a game, he literally broke his back.

Yeah.

It's like, yeah, that's fair that you can miss those games.

Yeah, you missed that game.

Yeah. I was doing some research on your stats here jay you never caught a receiving touchdown no it literally bothers me yeah that's tough did you ever lobby to get yourself put in all the time all the time i was like someone like can we not have a fake play can we not throw me like – like, something.
Give me something. Yeah, never did.

Well, you did –

The same, really.

It's tough, man.

You did get that chance to be a receiver with the Dolphins,

and you just gave no fuck.

Like, you just were standing out there with your hands on your hips.

I mean, I'm not doing anything.

They told – and they said, hey, just take a step back.

That's what you need to do.

I was like, okay, fine.

And you certainly took a step back.

You were like, yeah, I can do that.

I'll do that.

I want you to lift my hands up.

Yeah, I'll nail that role.

Watch this.

Do you think maybe after that experience,

that would have been the perfect time to throw you a pass?

Yeah.

Run it again in the fourth quarter, but this time, boom.

Yeah.

Gone.

After there's a little bit of film out there of Jay, like literally looking like he wants to bury himself underneath the turf instead of playing wide receiver maybe next time just have him pretend to do that and then run a go route you well well here's my thing with with with the wildcat situation like that just put somebody else in the game then like like at least make it legitimate like put somebody like that you want out there like why are you putting a quarterback out at receiver? Yeah, no, that makes no sense. You literally have your hands on your hips, though.
Yeah. Well, it's 11 on 10.
I wouldn't even send a corner out there if I was there. Like, no, this isn't happening.
Is a quarterback allowed to come up and block you and just knock you on your ass in that play? Yeah, you can get hit. That's why I take a step back.
If you step, I don't know. I don't know what the rule is.
Yeah, your hands on the hips, if someone came and hit you, you'd be a real dick. Oh, yeah.
Come on, man. You're essentially saying with your body language, I'm here, but I'm not here.
Yeah. They're just paying me to stand out here.
Yeah, they're just paying me to stand out here, guys. They're not throwing me the ball.
They don't even care what I do. Did you ever think about blocking somebody, though? Yeah, for sure.
But then you're setting yourself up for failure. Yeah, if you instigate, then it's like that way.
Now the other person can respond. Yeah, or if you instigate it and it doesn't go the way you think it's going to go, then you're just a jackass.
Yeah. Yeah.
And I feel like also all the defensive players, they like the thing they're looking for more than anything is to have a chance to go at the quarterback like freely and be able to light you up. Absolutely.
The rules now are so – I mean, you can play quarterback forever now. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah it is you can play for 30 years yeah with these new rules as a dad are you going to let your kids play football it's a really good question um thank you and camden wants to play so bad it's not even funny um he wants to play flag football now you know he, he watches it 24 seven, memorizes everybody.
Um, I don't know, you know, it's, it's going to be one of those things that it's going to be hard to, hard to keep him out. It's going to be hard to say no.
Um, I think I'm, I will get to a point where if I don't think he's been enough to play high school or to play college,

if he's just out there just getting his head beat in just because,

I'd be like, hey, why don't we play some college?

But if he's competitive, can take care of himself,

and has a chance at going to school or college or something like that,

I'll support it.

You know what I was thinking about?

This just popped in my head because you're talking about being good enough enough the um we should put a calendar jake put it in a calendar once a year we got to make the jay cutler uh basketball mixtape go viral because you gotta love that when everyone's like dude jay cutler was sick at basketball it's like well he was a fucking nfl athlete like i wouldn't i shocked. And also, you were playing against, like, no one that was over six feet.
No, they were six feet in weight. They were like 5'10 in weight.
And you were just dunking on everyone. It's kind of a little-known fact how athletic most quarterbacks are.
Yeah, it's true. They're sneaky athletes.
Well, you know what it is? it's i think that there's i mean now it's totally different but you know like 25 30 years ago you'd have a bunch of quarterbacks that were you know uh like almost cement shoes like you know it was it was always a classic like no mobility now all the quarterbacks they i would imagine they're some of the best athletes like overall athletes on the team oh for sure i for sure. I mean, good hands.
They're smart. They can run.
I mean, the position's changed. But some dudes that play quarterback, like Josh McCown, get him on a basketball floor and see what happens.
Dude can just straight fly. It's amazing.
Dude, you're just jamming on people. Oh, jamming.
They're all little kids. Is that your only move you only dunked, though? Yeah, that's all I did.
Didn't have a jumper? You haven't taken a single jump shot on this hospital? I think it was that was in, you know, that was we made, they made that tape, and that was VHS back then, and that's what you were sending off to colleges. So, you know, I had all my football highlights, and then then at the end we just threw a bunch of dunks in there just to kind of try to sell the sell the athlete part and then yeah you had the um I don't know I've seen this a few times on uh Twitter but like the was it trick play that won you state title at Indiana at the RCA dome yeah yeah it was a trick play at the to win title.
What was the trick play? We went into overtime. We were up big.
Not big. We were up 21-something, 21-0, 21-7, and then they came back.
And no time left. I played safety, too.
So I had, like, 21 tackles, and the other safety had like 22 tackles like we couldn't stop this dude like this guy was just running through us like butter um and they drove down to the i don't 20 yard line i want to say it's a 30 yard kick um freshman kicker they had and uh no time left two seconds, three seconds left, missed the kick. They missed the kick to win.
We go to overtime. I think they kicked the field goal.
We got the ball. First play, I muffed the snap.
Ended up diving on it. Second play they called.
It was like ace of spades right or something like that. And we had four guys out.
We had four receivers out to the right. I kick it out there, backwards pass, and then kind of walk off to the left a little bit.
We had Lyman pulling the left. Threw it back to me.
Walk in. Touchdown.
You did catch. That's receiving touchdown.
That's way better than any NFL touchdown to win state title as a quarterback to catch a touchdown. I knew that I thought, like, yeah, I have a vague memory of seeing this on Twitter.
There it is. That's better than, yeah, that's the best touchdown catch you can catch.
And I'm watching this kick from this guy at the end of regulation. It's about a 30-yard field goal, and I think he lands it five yards short.
He kicks it 25 yards. I think that kicker was actually really good, too.
I don't know what happened on that one. But then he nailed the one in overtime.
But, yeah, that was my last play in high school.

My last play in college was a touchdown throw to Earl Bennett.

And then my last play in the NFL was just an incompletion to no man's land.

Who knows?

In week 17, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And you played one set of downs, and that was it.

One set of downs, yeah.

And Gase was like, hey, you want to take another run at this? I'm like, for what? Oh, I don't. Hell no.
Hell no. It's like we're like six and whatever.
Like, why? We need to follow up on what we talked about last time, which was your chickens. How are your chickens doing? We're struggling.
I, no. We're struggling.
We had another raccoon problem. Man, I've learned that everything basically on the planet can kill a chicken.
They're just worthless. They can't defend themselves.
They don't have a brain. It's just tough.
Yeah. Anything that looks bad at a chicken can kill it yeah so i feel bad getting more because i'm like god these bastards are probably gonna die too so like what am i doing it's just a slaughterhouse at this point yeah but all chickens kind of do die like you know that's a great point yeah i mean at least i'm giving a little bit of a fun life for a couple months you're adopting chickens you're fostering chickens until they get killed by nature yeah it's better than being like what like a fast food restaurant chicken true yeah i mean you you know they live in a cage this big lights on 24 7 right exactly those chickens that you're getting you're you're really saving their lives in a way you're giving you're giving life.
And, yeah, they might. It's like chicken fantasy camp.

They get to live out like the biggest fantasies that a chicken could ever have until they get slaughtered by a fox.

Yeah, and horrific, horrific death.

But I would take that bargain as a chicken.

Yeah, I would too.

I'd rather get mauled by like a badger after living outdoors for six months and living in a pen.

Yeah, than some fat ass like coming in being like, all right, now it's time to slit your throat so you can go be some chicken tendies. Yeah, you're right.
Yeah, so you're good. A fast food chicken.
Oh, dude, fast food chickens, by far the worst life. They overgrow their breasts, right? They're like me sitting in a fucking cage with big ass titties just waiting to die.
I am a-food chicken. Although I would like to be a chicken that gets killed

and then gets shipped to Buffalo Wild Wings.

That would be cool.

During March Madness.

During March Madness.

Yeah, that would be.

I think that's the greatest life a chicken could have.

Week 10 NFL.

What rivalry week college week 10 NFL.

Oh, Iron Bowl?

Being an Iron Bowl chicken would be amazing.

That would be sick.

Oh, man.

All right, last question. So go to cuts right now um get get the box for father's day give us your number one grill tip because i'm trying to get better at grilling okay um get the grill as hot as you possibly can okay hot hot hot hot hot hot and then if you've got to take it off off the hot and just kind of put it in the corner and just let it cook the rest of the way there do you have a meat thermometer i i i i'm buying one i bought one it's on the way okay i gotta get a meat thermometer yep because because the temperature is is key how do you eat your sakes uh medium uh rare plus perfect I know it is.
So then the next key is once you hit your temperature, take it off and let it rest. 10, 15 minutes.
So it's almost, you don't want it a little bit cool. I mean, you don't want to eat cold meat, but it shouldn't be hot.
See, that's my problem. That's where I always fuck up because as soon as I finish, I want to eat it.
Got to let it rest. Yeah.
You got to let it rest because all those juices soak back up in there. If you just cut it right then, everything's going.
One thing I learned recently was when you sear it, you can sear it at the end. You can start it in the oven and then you can sear it after it's all like mostly all the way cooked.
Somebody had told me like my whole life that searing locks in the juices. That's actually not true, but it just sounds cool to say.
So people have repeated it, but you can sear at the end. That's called a reverse sear.
Yeah. Yeah.
We're going to reverse sear. All right.
Everyone go check out Jay cuts.com. Check it out.
We had the Tomahawk steaks. They were incredible.
Jay. Great to talk to you.
Hopefully see you soon. We might see a grit week i'll let you know nashville might be on the stop um but enjoy enjoy the rest of the afternoon and your games at demi let us know how it goes yeah i mean i'm going to the pool right now to play this demi game i mean i i i don't have high hopes for it i'm just gonna throw that out there i think hank should have said hey we played it when we were 12 not two weeks ago that probably would have been helpful for me to know that but i mean i'm yeah give it a shot give it a shot you never know do you have a golf team how deep is the pool that's the real that's the big question i mean uh you uh i bet there's probably places that's eight foot i mean i wish it was 10 or 12 i mean that seems mean, that seems like more fun, but we'll make it work.
Yeah. All right.
Yeah. I need an update.
Give me an update after you play Demi. Will do.
Appreciate it, boys. All right.
Thanks, Jay. Talk to you later.
Jay Culler was brought to you by our great, great friends over at Roman Swipes. Most guys have tried different ways to last longer, but thinking about baseball doesn't always work.
The folks over at Roman, an online men's health company, are changing the game with Roman swipes. It is the secret to longer-lasting sex.
Roman swipes are a clinically proven way to last longer in bed. They're effective, they're easy to use, and they're fast-acting, but they don't require a prescription.
Roman can ship swipes to you in discreet, unmarked packaging, and each swipes packet is small enough to hide in your wallet for whenever you need guy. And now for something completely different okay we now welcome on a very special guest it is sons and four man oh i love that that made me jacked up in the flesh nick mckella mckeller is that right you got it he iss and Four man.
We have some shirts out right now, Suns and Four fire shirts. Go check it out at the Barstool Sports Store.
We did it with Nick. First of all, I don't know, your head must be spinning because you went, was this Friday night you beat up the Murray brothers, and then all of a sudden you got Devin Booker tweeting at you.
You got shirts up on Barstool Sports Store. I'm assuming you have tickets now to the game.
How has the last four days been? Yeah, I mean, it's been a rollercoaster of emotions, obviously. It's been pretty wild.
I'm still trying to process everything. The last thing I thought was me being viral in a video.
Yeah, I'm just trying to by step, you know, just being chill with it. But yeah, you know, Devin Booker reaching out, his team reaching out was pretty epic.
So yeah, it's amazing. Congratulations.
I, the first thing that I thought when I saw the fight that you were in was this guy is kicking somebody's ass, but he's doing it in a very chill way. Like the uppercuts were chill.
And I think that everybody that watched that, you were fun to root for in that situation. So can you walk us through, like, what led up to that fight? What were they saying? How long had you guys been going back and forth? And at what point did you realize, okay, it's time to chuck some nuts? Yeah, well, let me take you back.
I mean, I'm a Phoenix fan that's been living in Denver for 10 years. So just having this opportunity to see a playoff game was just a dream.
So after having it come into fruition, I'm just, I'm ecstatic to be there. I'm in section 106.
I'm right behind the away team. And you know, like I'm, I'm having fun.
Like I'm making the whole atmosphere, just a fun environment for everybody. Nugs fans, Phoenix fans, anybody.
And so everybody's on my side before this fight even happens but you know cut to the fourth quarter there's two three minutes left in the quarter suns are up by 15 i'm doing a little chirping at the crowd but it's all light-hearted it's all in fun nature like bye safe trip to home see you tomorrow or see you next year just all in for fun and these two guys are walking up from the lower section and they took offense to this.

They didn't like what I was saying clearly. So, you know, homie with four watches is coming up to me and flaunting his fake jewelry.
Clearly fake as fuck jewelry. And I gave him shit about it.
So we were talking shit back and forth. He pulls out a lot of cash like it's going to change my opinion on you.
And so it's just, it's just a, it's just a wild time to be like, wow, people like this really conduct themselves in an environment like this. It was pretty gnarly to go, um, and witness.
So, you know, I turn my head for a second. I hear, uh, you know, watch out.
There's beer being poured on my head. My Jersey's being tugged.
And once someone puts their hand on my, uh, and my body, like I feel threatened and instincts kick in. So I'm starting to, to just defend myself and I'm pushing them back, telling them to leave, like get away from my face.
Um, and you know, then obviously you see the video of, of Edgar is what they, people like to call him eager Edgar, uh, you know, throw the sloppy ass sucker punch. And yeah, I mean, the rest is pretty much history.
You know, just because I had the crowd initially on my side made everything so much more perfect because. Yeah, I would say that's the part where it's like you can tell that you were not in the wrong.
And you were probably doing just like very like generic chirping, having fun at away stadium and not pissing people off because it seemed like all the nuggets fans were rooting for you i actually saw a another angle from up higher and the guy was a nuggets fan he was like yeah fuck them up fuck them up so you had nuggets fans rooting for you that's how much these guys sucked yeah yeah i mean it's uh you know when i got escorted out by the cops, I had four other Nuggets fans rooting for you. That's how much these guys sucked.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's, you know, when I got escorted out by the cops,

I had four other Nuggets fans come out to me and talk to the cops. But, like, I have a lawyer giving me his card.
I have other people saying it's all self-defense. Like, so, I mean, it was pretty cool.
Like, I'm obviously not banned from the Nuggets stadium. and, you know, I, the most important part is that I and the people that I love are, you know, are safe.
Right. And the guy, one of the Murray brothers, maybe this was, you said his name was Edgar.
Edgar did like a Snapchat video right after. Have you seen his recap of the fight? I have seen.
His recap of the fight doesn't really square with the video evidence that we were presented with i think he said that he beat your ass yeah and he was like showing his like bloody fists um did you right after you were escorted out who was the first phone call you made and did you hop on instagram live to tell everybody that you just got your ass kicked well my buddy was at the game and he was saying nosebleed and i called him immediately when i was esc escorted by the cops. And I told him I just got into a fight.
I never thought it would be in a viral video. I didn't think the cameras were out.
Like I was just focused on one thing. And the following morning, he hit me up and he said, you know, you told me you got in a fight.
I didn't know you did them like this. And so I just saw this video go from that 1,000 views to you know a million in less than a day

and it's just a it's a it's a it's a crazy time to be living in right now I think honestly uh the the video doesn't go viral if it weren't for the Suns and for the Suns and for as they're walking off was such a perfect thing to say where it's like not malicious it's just hey buddy I I just beat your ass. Suns in four.
Now, was there any nervousness on Sunday night? Because I think we all knew the Suns were going to win the series. But if they didn't sweep, if it wasn't Suns in four, that video becomes kind of forgotten.
Because it's like, hey, you didn't do it. I bet on the Suns because of that video, because of you.
I was like, a spoiler he basically told us what was gonna happen so you must have had some extra nerves going into sunday night being like i god damn it the sun's better winning four oh yeah they have to win or this is dying down real quick and i swear jokic or yokich saw this video somewhere because he got in booker's face like he wanted to do something. Yes, yes, yes.
So have you made contact with Devin Booker? His team reached out, yeah. Okay, can we expect to see you in one shape or another at the next round? We're in talks.
There's nothing set in stone right now. My goal is if I i can go to the game which would be epic is just

to shoot around with the boys like that's all that's kind of a big ass you know you're gonna say like i just want four seats for me and my friend like no dude i just want to i just want to warm up with the boys i want to hang out in the locker room real quick fucking get in the layup line.

That's a big ask.

I love it.

That's a true fan. You're like, I just want to shoot around with the boy.
Yeah, hell yeah. Maybe get invited to the team hotel beforehand.
Oh, who knows? Yeah. We'll see where it goes.
All right. So I heard some shady shit goes down at the hotel.
I don't know what you're talking about. No, just interviews.
So so Nick, I, I told you beforehand that, uh, the only thing you had to prep for was we, we actually had one of the only times that we've ever, uh, predicted something correctly by going, we were a nuggets podcast during the regular season. And then we flipped to the sons podcast before the series started and then they swept sons in four.
So we are, uh would say, actually, the numbers don't lie. We're the number one Suns podcast in the world.
It's just a fact. It's just a fact.
But for – Neil deGrasse Tyson maybe. Maybe, maybe.
But for people who are like, hey, you guys are real Suns fans. Like, you guys don't really know Suns history.
Like, what should we know? What should you know? Yeah, as a Suns fan, if we were like, these are the true things, like callback jokes or, hey, this is how we're feeling. You don't need to know anything historically.
Just know that Suns in four and maintain that energy the rest of this playoff series. I like it.
What if they never lost another game? Well, I think Suns in four is more of like a mentality than it is a prediction. So right now, yeah, we're a Suns in four podcast.
It doesn't necessarily mean they're going to win in four, but that's the energy that we're bringing to the next round. They might win in six, might win in seven, but it's still that same Suns in four drive that we're going to have.
100%. It's that big dick energy you need to bring.
There you go. So do you want to give a prediction depending on who they play in the next round? Well, yeah.
Obviously, I'm hoping that the Clippers win because we really want home court advantage. And I'd rather play the Clippers than the Jazz.
I think Jazz are just a terrifying team for us. And if it does go to Clippers versus Suns, I think we have a real chance of Suns and four again.
Okay. I love i fucking love it what about campaign do you love him campaign is six men of the year yeah he's so bad but he's somehow good it's crazy it's crazy man i've watched him play a lot of basketball i don't know what he's doing he's like he's someone that everyone should aspire to be like Like just find your moment and just become incredible for,

for a small stretch and people will just change everything they know about

you.

Yeah,

for sure.

He gives us that second boost of energy that we need off the bench.

So he's a,

he's crucial part of the team.

What about the gorilla?

Do you think there's any chance maybe you could get on the court and I

don't know,

like hold the ball over your head and have the gorilla jump over your head

and dunk it.

I think we need a new mascot.

I don't even know where the gorilla comes from. Like I'm thinking maybe try to employ me or commission me.
I like this. I like this.
Okay. Well, yeah.
I'm going to do something. First home game before playing the Clippers, I have to be there just for that energy.
Apparently, I haven't been back in Arizona for a decade now, and it's just legendary status apparently around there for me. So I don't know what the fuck is happening, but I need to be there for that game for sure.
Dude, I don't think you fully realize how funny that will be when you show up and everyone's just taking pictures with you and shit. You've got to enjoy your moment.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Get a custom jersey made, and it just says on the back, your name will be Suns Inn, and you're number four.

Yeah.

It's fucking brilliant.

I love it.

Yes.

All right, well, go buy the shirts.

We're doing it with Nick, so he gets some of the money as well.

Suns Inn four is a lifestyle,

and we look forward to being the number one Suns podcast.

We'll have you back on when the Suns win the title.

There you go. Although, Blake Griffin, we're trying to get a ring for that, right? What? You get a ring? Yeah.
Yeah, you get a ring. I'd say you get.
Yes, absolutely. You get as many rings as that guy was wearing watches.
That's what was the deal with that, by the way? What was in their haircuts? What was their haircuts? They were rich, Big Cat. No idea.
That is not a Denver native that I'm aware of. So these are hooligans that may be out of state, out of place.
Yeah, because Denver, you've got to be chill, right? Menver. Yeah.
I mean, you were calling them nugs. I like that.
That's just a great, chill way to refer to the Nuggets. There you go.
Yeah. Is it true about Menver? I'm sorry, what do you mean by Menver? Like there's just a bunch of dudes.
A lot a lot of men yes a lot of guys uh i would say in specific uh yeah i mean in some areas like loto is like all bro there's a call brodo so lower downtown is like all guys pretty much and like a lot of women don't go in that area just because of that i like that brodo we can hang out, well Nick, thanks so much, man, and we'll talk soon. Thank you, Wes.
Appreciate it. Alright, see ya.
See ya, man. Sons and Four Guy was brought to you by our great friends, the Chevy Silverado.
I love that truck. It's an amazing truck.
It's the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever. It's strong.
It's advanced. It's dependable.
It's hardworking. It's gritty.
It's the grittiest truck on the road. Silverado is dependable, just like the people who drive them.
The design is big. It's bold.
It's commanding. This truck, it turns heads.
I can't say enough. It turns heads.
You will look great in this truck. And they're a partner of ours.
They've got great grit, great determination. Anything is possible.
Silverado is a partner in that. You can use it for tailgating it's hunt it's uh great for hauling for towing moving day off-roading helping out a friend or family member it's great for road trips an ultimate road trip truck the chevy silverado it's our favorite truck here on part of my take it's the official truck of part of my take and we've got that we got the special part of my take deal where if you buy a chevy silverado and you whisper calmly and lowly and sensually into the salesperson's ear, PMT.
They will give you $100 off, $100 cash. Yes.
They'll give you a $100 bill and they will give you a cup of coffee and they'll fill up the tank for you. So you can drive away with a full tank.
They might act like pretend like, oh, I don't know what you're talking about, whatever, blah, blah, blah. Just be like, hey, can I have my $100 bill? They'll figure it out eventually.
Chevy Silverado. It is the best truck on the road.
And don't forget to whisper PMT into the salesperson's ear when you buy your brand new Chevy Silverado. Okay, let's wrap up the show.
We got a very special guest in studio. This is three guests on one show.
You're on the show. Jay Cutler.
Ever heard of him? Yes. Big fan.
He lives down the street from you. I want him to come on Bustin' with the boys.
I can help you out with that. And then we had Sons in Four guy.
Sons in Four? The guy that beat up the Denver Nuggets fans. Oh, you guys.
Sons in Four. Yeah, Sons in Four.
Go buy a shirt right now. Barstool Sports Store.
Biggest names ever. But the biggest name we have is Will Compton.
Currently, he's figuring it out with what team he wants to sign with next. Free agency hasn't started, right? Well, I think Will is just, he's in a very good position right now where he has his pick of whichever team he wants to join.
That's right. So, I mean, if you want to do like a commercial for why you should sign Will Compton, I mean, right off the bat, you're the only player in NFL history with 357 tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, three interceptions, and 12 pass deflections.
And a podcast. And a podcast.
Hey, I appreciate that, PFT. Yeah, you got to put your stats on.
I think what you should do, Will, we talked about this a couple weeks ago, you should just get as fat as possible because it's very clear that mike rabel respects girth and he just respects mass he's just trying to build the the biggest football team of all time so if you put on like 30 pounds i think he'd be forced to sign you potentially i love your guys's view of coach rabel is it wrong no it's not wrong it's just another view you know right he's. Yeah, there's a thousand ways to skin a cat, and you guys have your view of him, and I love it.
He's the best. But I love how you think.
He's a guy's guy. Like, it's just as easy as putting on 30 pounds, and Braves is going to sign you.
Correct. If I put on 30 pounds, Braves would probably sign me.
Last year when he asked if I was ready to go, he asked, hey, are you in shape, or have you eaten too many ribeyes? So if I gain weight, I don't know if I'll be going to Tennessee. But that's him just like busting balls.
He has to have something in the back of his head. Normal guys, we say hi to each other.
He's like, what's up, fat ass? Yeah. There's no question.
You guys are not wrong about that one. He's always got one in the chamber on you.
How old are you? 31. Young 31.
Young 31. You're 27.

You just turned 27.

Okay.

PFT does that, so you can do it.

How old are you, PFT?

I'm 27. 26.

Yeah.

You're younger than Hank.

Yeah.

What about the Washington football team?

What's the deal there?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Bring the boy on.

Can we not get a reunion going?

Let's get the boy.

You know what?

Sometimes you got to go backwards to go forwards.

Go back to where it all started.

I agree.

Are they doing NFL Europe again?

I don't know.

Are they going to do that?

Yeah, you could do that.

I'm going to need you to stop disrespecting me. On the yak, you talked about a practice squad, and now you're like, oh, yeah, NFL Europe.
I always thought practice squad was a good deal. And then I come on here, you're trying to introduce me.
I notice, I notice. I love getting big catted, by the way.
Why?

What do I do?

You're like, you know, he's figuring it out.

He is, you're figuring it out.

And PFT, God bless him.

He's pumping you up.

Yeah, he's really great to hype the boys.

Good cop, bad cop.

Yeah, yeah.

You got scratched by the cat.

That's what happened.

Yeah, we gotta do it.

We gotta do it.

All right, no, you are gonna get signed on the team.

I actually, we had this conversation, Will and I had a conversation earlier today.

I, and this probably says more about, like, my will to compete, but I've always thought

Thank you. I actually, we had this conversation, Will and I had a conversation earlier today.
I, and this probably says more about like my will to compete, but I've always thought practice squad would be sick because like you get paid a hundred K and you just hang out in sweats. And we'll even admitted that during when he's on practice squad with Washington football team, he didn't even watch the games.
He just played grand theft auto on Sundays. That's sick.
That's ever. Sounds like a great job.
It's a solid job. What do you mean by your will to compete? Like, I would be, I always watch, like, if I'm watching a big moment in, like, a basketball game, right, I'm not like, man, I'd love to be out there.
Like, this would be my moment. But, like, I'd love to be the dude on the bench who's like, damn, let's get him next time, guys.
Like, good try. Yeah, you don't.
You're not risking your body on Sundays at least. That's one less day that you have to get injured.
Are you really going to get noticed if you suck at practice for one week? Yeah. Really? Oh, really? Yeah, you are going to get noticed.
That sucks. That kind of scratches off my future.
There's a couple times Mike Shanahan would recognize me, probably just to keep our heads in it, for having to practice like three different positions a day. But yeah, you get cut off a bad week of practice squad.
What I think it goes back to is I've always said that my dream job would be working on an MLB coaching staff where I don't really have to do anything. I just kind of hang out with the guys.
That would be a great life. Yeah, just like fucking do a couple, you know, do a little towel whips every now and then.
Like a couple pranks. Like, yo, hey, oh, how's your wife? Like, oh, hey, I'm here for you, buddy.
And then you towel whip him in the dick and it's like, ah, just kidding. Because even losses, they don't matter as much in the MLB.
Like you have to lose like 16 games in the MLB to have like one loss in the NFL. Right, I think that would be a dream job.
I think I'd do pretty good at it, just being one of the guys in the locker room, but never actually be asked to like perform or come through in any moment. What he's describing is basically the job that we have now in media, which is to just like hang out and talk to people and be friendly.
But we think that that exact job should occur in every field. In sports, mathematics, science, engineering, you name it.
There should always be a guy that just hangs out and makes everybody else feel cool about their jobs. Right.
I do agree with that. It's essentially a glue guy.
Yeah, just hanging out. Just in a different way.
I think I would excel at that. And I don't want to put you down, Will, because I do think that you should get signed immediately.
Like, just look, when you've gotten into games, you've performed. All I see when I'm watching football, when Will Compton's in the game, I mentally circle you when you're on the field, and you're always making a play.
Now, you guys don't win anything, but you're still always out there making plays. He's not putting you down.
Not putting you down. No, no, no.
I'm gasping. He already, he already.
Yeah, so I think the league is a better place when Will Compton is in it. You can't tell the story of football without Will Compton.

Or buses.

Or buses.

Yeah.

You're one of the all-time bus guys.

I would agree with that. One last thing.

So you are sitting next to Jake, who is the alpha of our show.

Trust me.

I've felt it since I said it.

That's why I've kept my legs close.

That's why I'm kind of like.

I was so scared to ask him to adjust the mic, too.

I was like, hey, make me.

Hey, do you play ping pong?

Can you please do this for me? Do you not play ping pong? No. Okay, good answer.
Good answer. Tress Way, I am on record saying Tress Way is the best ping pong player in the NFL.
We need to get him in this office. We need to haveake are you are you are you the man are you the best one here will is that a real question are you the big swinging dick in this office shit what a question i want to see jake compete against tressway i want you to dominate the entire nfl too jake so you'd be yeah i mean he's your guy you'd definitely be rooting hard for oh yeah uh yes all that's holy hank has questions so everyone go uh download busting with the boys it is will will's podcast do you have a co-host yeah um it's a taylor lewin who said his name wrong and i don't know people i i think it is tough if you don't know who he is biz we had it's Biz.
Biz. We had to give – remember when Biz was here?

He knew you.

He was like, yeah, Will Compton.

I'm good friends with him.

And then we're like, who's the other guy?

And he's like, Tyler.

Which is good because Rich Eisen won't say my name when he talks about our podcast.

Really?

He says Taylor LeWan's podcast. Because he's from Michigan.

They have like a little –

Yeah, they have like a little side handshake.

Like, let's not say Will's name.

Let's be real proud of Michigan. Taylor does a great job as well.
So go check it out. Taylor and Will in the bus, bussing with the boys.
So we asked our people to hit us up and give us questions about being in the NFL or questions about being a boy. What was it? Is that right? Did I get that right? Yeah.
Ask a boy. Will, what do you have to say about Daquan Jones actually causing the fumble against Detroit this year on the one-yard line instead of you? Seems like stolen valor.
Is that true? That's true. He did? He did.
You were credited? I was credited at first, but they switched it right after the game. They switched it actually during the game.
And Daquan, listen, I gave him the credit right after the game.

I tweeted.

I gave him the credit.

And the next day he was just upset because he just knew that it would look like I got it

and everyone on Twitter is just going to make it seem like I did it.

I'm like, I don't know what to do.

I gave you credit.

But you should, honestly, guy to guy here,

you should start taking credit for more things if you want to stay in the NFL. You should have kept the credit.
Well, I have the fumble recovery. And the play's right there, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But did you cost anybody their fantasy game? I'm not sure. If somebody had Will Compton starting at linebacker, your admission that you didn't cause that, was that two points? No, but you got the recovery.
I got the recovery. That's bonus points.
That's true. I think you would have gotten double dip.
His hand got there right before my head did. My head was still – it was very accurate.
Accurate head placement. If he wasn't there, would you have caused a fumble? Yes.
All right, so that's kind of yours. He did a great job, though.
He did a great job. You're taking credit for it.
No, no, no. My guy, Daquan Jones, awesome player.
He's out in Carolina now. Okay.
But, Daquan, if you're listening to this, which I'm sure you are because everyone listens to this podcast, that is your credited fumble. You made that play.
I just happened to fall on it. I was trying to take it 99 to the house, but nobody wanted to block for me.
Hey, Will, I noted your listed height at UNL as 6'2", while the Titans listed it as 6'1". Are you A, lying, B, a fraud, or C, really under six feet like that height fraud PFT? That's just a weird shot.
A lot of weird shots in that question. I'm 6'2".
Yeah, I'm 6'2". Okay.
For every coach and GM listening. Nice.
Is that 6'2"? Shoes or no shoes? I'm 6'2". Okay, 6'2".
Good answer. 6'2".
Who has been your favorite coach to play for and why is it Bo Pelini? Also, do you think Frost can turn it around and how long is it going to take? Oh, boy. GBR.
What does GBR mean? Go Big Red. Go Big Red.
Bo Pelini. Yeah, Bo is my favorite coach.
I was going to say I would die for that man, but I wouldn't go that far. Bo's the best, dude.
Scott Frost, his leash is getting shorter. We've talked about it.
I'm rooting for him. I mean, obviously I'm rooting for him, but how can you find a much better coach for the job than Scott Frost? Coming out of UCF, what he did at UCF, right? Yeah, prodigal son.
Yeah, he's part of the 90s. I know being there, Nebraska lives in the 90s championship world.
They want it to be back in the 90s. We were 10-4 like every year, but it was never good enough.
Obviously, we had some painful losses. Big 10 championship game was 70-70.
Did we put up 70? Yeah, the most painful. Three running backs.
Also, when Melvin Gordon had like 450 yards against you? I was not part of that one. Oh, okay, good.
Melvin Gordon had over 200. James White had over 200.
And Monty Ball had over 200. It was a bad game.
That's hard to do. But, Scott, man, like, you got a guy in there that everybody wanted.
He is a very good coach. It's just tough, man.
I think we made a bad move going to the Big big 10 I agree with you there uh why do you think we did well I just think that you have a recruiting base and you kind of lose what you were and now you have to compete against you know Iowa and this you know there's not a ton of talent in some of those states there's not a ton of talent within Nebraska also I read this really long article that was very good about Nebraska kind of lost their way because they lost their ability to, you know, the 90s Nebraska teams were great because of, like, the walk-ons and building them up and making them a five-year program and finding the hidden gems within Nebraska. And they basically, the whole article was like, look at a guy like Danny Woodhead.
Like, the fact that Danny Woodhead wasn't, like, a fifth-year, like't a fifth year grinded out star at the University of Nebraska means they kind of lost what their MO was. That's one example.
I see the validity in that, but also it's like the way recruiting is now. You can go to a smaller school and be a starter and go to the league now.
Back then, you're finding Nebraska versus Oklahoma all it was it was yeah the the the crux of it was the coach the co and i'm sure scott frost has kind

of rectified this a little bit because he's from nebraska but the coaches that came after like the

90s they didn't have the same uh like uh pipeline with the high schools and it didn't mean as much

to be like it used to be if you're a kid in nebraska you play for nebraska no matter what

Thank you. like a pipeline with the high schools and it didn't mean as much to be like it used to be if you're a kid in nebraska you play for nebraska no matter what and like you go there and you get better and the weightlifting program that might have been a steroids program whatever i'm not going to say allegedly it meant something and they kind of lost their way there but it's a tough it's a tough fucking like nut to crack for nebraska to come no doubt i i think the recruiting stuff that you were hitting on is where it's at because you have Texas, right?

When we're in the Big 12, you could sit in a kid's living room

and tell the parents you're going to get to watch your kid play

two to four times a year.

You've got Baylor, Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M.

We were all in the Big 12.

And then you'd make the longest trip to Nebraska

and maybe see their kid play that extra time of year. Now you don't have that.
You're not playing in Texas. How are you going to get these Texas kids? Their family's not going to send their kid to Nebraska when that's the farthest trip for them.
And now your demographic for recruiting is the Northeast where why would you go all the way out to Nebraska when you can just stay close and go to like Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan.

Michigan crushes that.

That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, even Michigan.

Some of these teams that aren't as good still in the Big Ten,

but why would you go much farther and go all the way out to Nebraska?

So I just feel like we kind of –

I do love those 90s Nebraska teams.

I do want Nebraska to be good again.

I know people don't think I'm being real when I say that,

but I think it would be great for college football. We almost got Dougs there last year.
Yeah, it would be great for college football. It would be fun.
I do, man. I do miss it.
I wish we were more competitive. I think we will be.
I'm still holding out hope. There we go.
So right now, if you could pull the escape lever, you go back to the Big 12? Yeah, 100%. If they could make equivalent money in some other job, how many players do you think would still choose to play in the NFL? Just thinking of Taylor Luan getting paid $20 million a year to be a used car salesman.
Or Aaron Rodgers quitting to start a blowjob podcast and go to Spotify. Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, I mean, I would assume that a lot of players would not play in the NFL. Would you? No.
You don't love football? Yeah, I mean, hang on, hang on, hang on. Let me back.
Yeah. 6-2.
I do it for free. I mean, if you could, yeah, I mean, if you made the same amount of money doing whatever you wanted to do, like, you would, I would retire from football sooner because I would still play football.
I love football. Yeah.
You know what I mean? You love playing games. That's what you gotta say.
Like, I love being out there on Sundays. Practice is a grime.
Competitor, man. Yes.
Love being a lunch pail guy. Yeah.
Will, love watching you play for Washington. I always wanted to know this answer from a player's perspective.
Back in the Bruce Allen Washington days, did you believe the culture was damn good, or was Bruce Allen mental for saying that? I'd love to hear PFT's input on this from a fan's perspective as well. Yeah, I mean, sure, you can watch that clip when he says the culture's damn good, but our culture wasn't damn good.
I mean, it just is what it is. It wasn't that great.
Top floor, bottom floor, all of it, it wasn't that good. People have read stories.
People see all the legal stuff going on right now. Where there's smoke, there's fire, and it wasn't the best culture.
That's pretty much from a fan perspective. Dan Snyder, as long as he's in charge, it's going to be tough because he has to stay out of his own way.
And he's not really able to do that. And when Bruce Allen was there, it was like he was basically a puppy on Dan Snyder's lap and would do whatever he told him.
Same thing with Vinny Serrato. Dan Snyder, like, attracts guys like that.
I think the new regime in Washington is a lot better. I think that they have changed a lot of stuff around.
I just don't know. Like, it's just a matter of time before Snyder.

He's like, he can't stay away.

He can't stay out of his own way for that long.

Will, if you were a player on the Washington football team,

wouldn't it piss you off that you didn't have a mascot?

If I was what?

Follow-up.

Yeah, this is a follow-up.

Also, P.S., if you were on the Washington football team,

wouldn't it bother you as a player that you don't have a mascot

and you're just a football team? Not really. Yeah.
I mean. Come on, Hank.
Yeah. Come on.
Come on. We're a football team.
We play football. I think it's actually an asset.
So this is a good little story here. I don't know if my fiancee minds me telling this or not, but we actually had a PI show up at our house not too long ago on behalf of Dan.
Why? Yeah. All the stuff going on.
Charo, was a cheerleader so all the stuff that was coming out on the washington football team cheerleaders how they've kind of cleaned house and a lot of that stuff um and is that how you met her you were a player yeah and she was a cheerleader isn't that against the law it's against the rules not not for the player it is for the cheerleader but we didn't date while she was a

cheerleader gotcha she was on the other side so it sounds like dan snyder was smart to hire a pi after your ass well the the belief is i i love the i love the little joke right there but the belief is like all the stuff that they're coming after dan for with all the uh cheerleader stuff from what I hear

rumor, all speculation, all

alleged, this is incredible, that it was Bruce coming after him. So now he's trying to, you know, he's wanting to come after, Dan's wanting to come after Bruce, sends a PI.
Now that's all speculation. Sounds like a great culture.
Yeah. So basically what Bruce Allen has been doing for the last couple of years, he's like starting blogs over in India, publishing his own accusations against Dan Snyder, like throwing the worst possible allegations at him.
Like he was flying on Epstein's plane and things like that. But it's Bruce Allen.
He like started a blog and he's trying to fuck Dan Snyder over. Basically, it's not the sign of a team that had good culture when they were working together.
If after they up, you've got one accusing the other of being a pedophile. That's a pretty key moment.
And just basically, the Washington football team is like Succession. It's like the world's dumbest episode of Succession.
Quick. That's a great show, by the way.
Packed in this room. We all work together.
If any of us ever leaves, we promise not to call each other pedophiles. No.
No what? Never. I call anybody in this room so you say yeah to the promise i do say are you promising that i would never call you guys pedophiles yeah i don't know man there's wow statistically takes one to know one that's where you wanted to go with that so that's just where we ended up i don't i never know where i'm going with anything he He said, wow.
I mean, I don't know everybody in here like that. Wow.
But to wrap things up, you would go back to the Washington football team if they gave you a contract, right? Oh, absolutely. Undercover.
Yeah. Money's still great.
Yeah. And I mean, I loved that locker room.
Obviously, it's not the same locker room, but yeah, I mean, there's a lot of moving parts in an organization to make a culture bad. But yeah, absolutely, I would play for the boys again.
All right, last one. Will, what would your reaction be if, hypothetically, PFT was the kicker while you were on the Titans, but double-doinked a 30-yarder, usually in his wheelhouse, to lose a game? Do kickers who lost the game get bullied in the locker room? And if so, who's the most brutal towards them? Ooh, good question.
I'll just say right off the bat, if that were to ever happen, you can kill me. PSG's not going to the locker room.
He's walking straight to his car. That's a little extreme.
You can execute me at midfield. You're not allowed to say that on YouTube.
Yeah. So you're saying just missing a game-winning kick.
Sounds like a double doink. You and one death.
Double doink. Yeah.
Ever heard of it? Well, I know it's never going to happen. This is one of the times where I can actually make a promise knowing that I'll never have to fulfill it.
Yeah, I mean, it would be tough. But does the kicker get chirped in the locker room? Yeah.
No, not really. But the kicker knows.
He knows based off the vibe. Like Dustin Hopkins.
We were in London one year, and we tied. And he missed an easy kick, dude.
I mean, we should have won that game. You might remember.
And it was like you didn't know whether, like, should we be happy? I mean, we didn't really lose the game. The kicker pretty much missed the easy kick.
And, you know, the kickers, those dudes beat themselves up heavy, so you don't want to add on to it. You know they feel it.
Like, of course you're mad, but you're also thinking about the plays you probably could have made. I know that's way more of a political answer than probably what the listeners would want.
But, like, you know, you're thinking about plays you miss as well and, you know, the whole spiel where it's a team game. Not one play wins or loses the does anyone make a joke because like as as glue guy guy hanging out in the locker room i would i would come in after you know knowing i'm not playing i'm just part of the coaching staff i'd wait a nice beat of silence and be like sick kick bro and then that breaks the ice everyone's like haha yeah we did lose that game the kicker's still ready to do a PFT.
He's talking about off himself.

What about that?

Was it a Monday night game?

You kind of give a nice little ass.

It's tough, man.

Keep your head up.

You get another chance.

Or you step over him to offer him a hand up off the ground

as you're stepping over him.

That sort of thing.

So what about that Monday night game?

Didn't the kicker miss like four field goals?

Which Monday night game?

Was it this year?

Oh, the Titans kicker, remember? Titans kicker, yeah. Was it Gostowski? Yeah, Gostowski.
No, he kept on missing the short ones and hitting the long ones. Yeah.
Yeah, boys, look. We all know what happens when you play football for a while.
Right. You lose a little savvy up top.
Oh, okay. So you don't even remember this game.
I can't remember what game you're talking about. I know there was a game where he missed one.
A couple of us hugged him, and he ends up making the game winner. Yeah, that's the one.
So your numbers, we're doing lottery numbers to end the show. You want to pick one? 55.
Do I get up? Wait, let me put these. No.
No, just pick a number. Let me put these back in so everything's in.
Six. 18.

You guys start calling yourself Area 51.

It's a no-fly zone across the middle.

Hey, buddy.

All right, 99.

I don't have that kind of confidence.

46.

Hank's favorite number.

Love you guys.
