Happy birthday, Billy football. Billy, our young boy is becoming a man.
We knew, Billy. You didn't think we knew.
It's birthday month here at part of my take. You didn't think we knew, my friend.
Billy knows my birthday. Billy, I got you something.
What? Yeah. Here you go.

Look at this.

Billy, I know how much you like gains, so I got you $100 worth of meat.

It's been sitting in the studio.

We're going to let the meat sing.

Wait, no, hang on.

All right, now it's $100 worth of meat.

There we go.

There you go, Billy.

Billy, happy birthday.

We have a big announcement for Billy coming up in a minute. We're going to talk about the national championship.
Billy, don't open your present into the mic, Billy. Dude, come on.
Come on. Oh, look at that.
Canned tuna. Tuna.
Tuna and chicken. Tuna.
It's the tuna of the land. Beef sticks.
Oh, my God. You are truly a Labrador retriever.
He's so happy. This is the exact same thing when I open up my bark box for Stella.

She has the same exact reaction.

All right.

Happy birthday, Billy.

We got the Billy announcement coming up in a minute.

Let's talk national championship.

Billy, can you put the bag down seriously?

Yeah, put the bag down.

The Alabama Crimson Tide have won another national championship.

Nick Saban is the greatest coach of all time.

Unassailable. Seven

national titles. Six

with Alabama. One with LSU.

Can we say in any sport, Nick Saban is

the best coach to ever coach anything?

It's getting there, man. And he's not

slowing down. The craziest part is

he's going to be

70 next year and he

just won another national title.

He's got the best recruiting class in

the history of recruiting classes already.

It's crazy. He has the number one recruiting class

Thank you. next year and he just won another national title so that he's got the best recruiting class in the history of recruiting classes already it's crazy he has the number one recruiting class in the history of recruiting classes let alone alabama he has now won six titles at alabama in 14 years if nick saban walked into your living room at any point in the last 14 years he could say to you to you and your family you will win a national title if you come to Alabama, and it is true.
You can look at it, 0-9, 11, 12, 15, 17, 20. Even if you only stayed for three years, you were guaranteed to win a national title.
That's fucking insane. I think the biggest problem for Coach Saban is when is he going to get bored? Because he could keep this going until he dies.
And if he never gets bored, then I think he would get mad at himself if he started to get bored. And be like, Nick, you've got to get back to work.
I think that he's going to keep doing it. The biggest, it's like the Elijah Moore effect that we talked about.
The new butterfly effect, the Elijah Moore effect. If West Virginia had not won that Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma when they beat them by like 20 points back in 2008, Nick Saban wanted to go to West Virginia to be their head coach.
I think I would love to see Nick Saban at some point go finish his career at West Virginia. Just like maybe once he turns 75, get the end of the run for Saban, have him bring a couple titles to the Mountaineers.
He's not going to slow down. And so the craziest stats are that Nick Saban has.
So he's now, like we said, if you walked into a living room in the last 14 years, he could actually guarantee that you would win a national title if you went to Alabama. And it became true.
He has now won six national titles at Alabama, five different offensive coordinators, three different defensive coordinators. That's crazy.
He basically has to just turn over his staff every single year. He had to turn over his strength and conditioning coach that he had forever this year.
They got somehow better. Devontae Smith was insane, and then the 2017 recruiting class is going to be football porn for like ever.
Because they, so depending on how this draft goes, there will be 10 guys that will be drafted in the top 50 picks. Right now, so Tua went in the first round, Jedrick Wills, Henry Ruggs, Jerry Judy, and Xavier McKinney went in the second round.
That was last year. This year it will be Mack Jones, Devontante Smith, Najee Harris, Alex Leatherwood, and Dylan Moses.
Those will be like first, second rounders. Ten guys in one recruiting class are going to be first or second rounders.
They had three Heisman finalists. That's fucking insane.
Like think about how insane of a recruiting class that is to have ten guys that are drafted in the top 50 of the nfl draft from one recruiting class and on top of all this you'll love this pft so all those guys you know it's going to end up being somewhere around seven eight nine first rounders they also in that recruiting uh class got thomas fletcher long snapper four year starter not one bad snap I love that. So I love that.
That's perfect. So draft him.
The details. Belichick's going to draft that guy.
Turn him into a slot receiver. He's the next gunner.
That's Nick Saban, though. Down to the details.
All these guys, all these insane prospects that he's like, yep. And we also have a long snapper who played four straight years and didn't miss a single snap.
It's incredible. The run that he's gone on is nuts.
But it's starting to make college football a little bit boring if you don't appreciate greatness. Us as a podcast, I think one thing you can always say about us is we respect greatness.
See, I still don't think – I mean, I guess it would change it. My view would change if I were a fan of Ohio State or Clemson.
Well, even Ohio State.. Ohio State has gotten to the point where they are the Alabama, the Midwest.
Yes. They're going to be dominant, and they've got the program set up to a point where they're not going to have any really down years.
The down year for them is maybe they lose the Big Ten. They lost to Purdue or Iowa, one of those weird losses.
That's as bad as as worse, that's as bad as it's going to get there. But Alabama is like so far above.
Don't know what's going on behind the scenes there. Frankly, I don't care.
Well, if you can reach a point where you're able to get away with cheating for as long as Nick Saban has been dominant in the SEC, like, good for you. Yeah.
That's actually more impressive than winning all those things if you can just continually duck all the uh ncaa investigate whatever it is and saban might i was about to say he might not be bending the rules or cheating at all but i'm not going to say that but uh it's it's just all impressive what he's done down there and uh credit to lsu for being the combo breaker there yeah yeah and it's crazy because he's done it with defense he's done it with offense he basically changed the entire like that uh i've referenced it but the kick six game when they were running rpos against him he couldn't stop it and i think there was that moment where he even said like is this how we want football to be and everyone's like yeah it is remember brett bielma tried to change the rules and nick saban co-signed but but Nick Saban also was like, if these rules don't change, which they won't,

we'll just beat them with offense.

So he's completely changed how he's molded Alabama.

It's insane.

There's nothing really else you can say besides he's the best ever.

And, yeah, I don't know.

I don't know what else.

Like the Bear Bryant.

So I was looking up last night. I was reading more about Bear Bryant just because I don't.
I mean, he was a coach before we were born. He died before we were born.
But he might be the ultimate football guy because I didn't realize this. So Bear Bryant also has six national titles.
Nick Saban broke his record last night. He said in his last game he played the Liberty Bowl versus Illinois.
They won. And the reporter asked him.
He was retiring. He said, retiring he said what are you gonna do and he said i'll probably just croak in a week he died four weeks later yep that's the ultimate died once he left he literally died four weeks later after coaching his last game he outlived his own diagnosis by three weeks yeah i i remember reading about that in uh bruce arian's book that he wrote because bruce aans used to be one of the assistants for Bear Bryant.
He said, like Coach said, he would always say, like, I'm probably going to die once I stop coaching. And I think there's an element of football guys where it's like, yeah, that's how I want to go.
Yeah. It's like, leave it all out on the field.
But so back to the point of, like, has Alabama kind of ruined college football? I really don't think, unless you are an SEC West fan, I would get it because that's got to be frustrating. But college football, for everyone except maybe six teams, it's not really ever about national titles.
And once you realize that, you enjoy it for what it is. It's about the stadiums.
It's about the tailgating. It's about traditions.
It's about rivalries. That's what it's about.
It's about rivalries like that's what it's about it's about winning mayo bowls so it's okay like if i get it if you're a clemson fan or you're lsu or usc and you're like fuck how are we gonna beat bama but for everyone else 90 of college football i i have there's no i don't have any less fun watching alabama win the title every year for my college. I didn't like the second half.
I really enjoyed the first half when Devontae was going off. That was video game shit.
That was the most dominant half of football since Blake Bortles in 2018. Yes.
This was elite shit. It was unfair.
2-15 for three TDs. I think Greg Kittle did that a couple years ago pretty much, and then they just didn't throw the ball to him at all in the second half, but that wasn't due to an injury.
That was just due to being fair. It's like, he's too good, so we'll just have him block the second half.
Kittle was probably like, I'm sick of catching balls. Let me hit somebody.
But it was insane, the shit they were doing in the first half. And then in the second half, you run out of ways to start talking about the game.
So, like, Kirk and chris fowler just kind of resorted to the fact like it's just great to see excellence and at that point i was like you know what the guy's right it is it's great to see excellence yeah and they had their center come in for the last snap which was awesome who tore his acl in the sec championship game number 69 uh jalen waddle was out there a lot of hand wringing on twitter jalen waddle why are you out there like well maybe he wants to be oh he definitely wanted to be out there but like it was yeah i know it was painful watching him run and then the the clip that will will live on in this uh national title is poor tough borland the linebacker for ohio state who i likened it to uh a person trying drive their car with a boot on it. That's how he looked when he was running, trying to guard Devontae Smith in space.
Someone actually said on Twitter, which is perfectly put, he actually tried to change his running style halfway through to see if something else would work, and it worked even less. Well, what he did, it was like watching that clip in Forrest Gump when Forrest is playing at the University of Alabama and trying to run now in the movie they obviously made him look really fast but it was the same exact running style and Tuff was thinking to himself well I'm not able to catch up to this guy so maybe if I just stomp the ground harder with my feet I'll get faster and he tried it was I thought it was gonna be a dk metcalf 2.0

where he was able to chase him down but uh it was you should never have a guy named tough guarding wide receiver and it was it was just a baffling i guess you don't really know what to do because davante he actually looked like he was floating because he's that he's that good and that fast and like then we don't even have to talk about naji harris who's incredible as well they They have so many weapons. Do you think – so the debate now is, which is crazy to say, last year's LSU team was dubbed the greatest college football team of all time.
And now people are saying, well, maybe it's this year's Alabama team. I'm just enjoying the fact that we had back-to-back years where you can actually make that claim.
Yeah. Because I think last year's LSU team was incredible, and then Alabama probably gets the the slight trump i do think i would go 2017 ucf i would i would pick last year's lsu team but i understand the argument that alabama played an sec only schedule yeah went undefeated yeah i i mean they were both really great teams and and the alabama it was a remember alabama lsu when they played what the nine to six game yeah a while back? Both teams completely change who they are 100%.
They play 9-6 and then 21-0 in that same year. The only way that this can change, because you can sit there and you can yell at clouds and you can fight against the wind, but it's not going back to the way that it was.
The only way that it goes back is if they say the defense is allowed to use 12 guys on third downs. That's it, which might happen one day.
Who knows if this shit keeps up. But we're just going to get a lot of points.
I took the over last night. It was great.
In what world can you sit there and bet over 74.5 points and then at halftime be like, this is awesome yeah i'm good this is awesome and um it will be the the worst news for anyone who is uh against alabama is so nick saban is like i said gonna be 70 who knows let's say he coaches for seven more years there is a world where dabo sweeney goes home and and and takes over for nick saban afterwards That's not the craziest thought out there. He played at Alabama.
He's from Alabama. Like,

he's not the craziest thought out there he played at alabama he's from alabama like i would say it's probably a low chance right now but who the fuck knows and could you imagine if that they go saban to sweeney you know what i would do if i were nick saban i would say i will make you my head coach and waiting but you have to come here and be be my offensive coordinator for five years yes and then after that i'm retiring the program's years yeah that'd be i think swinny would think about no because he's the king in clemson i i actually don't think he'll do it but it is it's one of those weird things where right now you sit like if you if i had to go gun to head i'd say he's not going to go to alabama in 10 years but you never know what 10 years looks like and you know if he just gets pulled back there and it's like hey I want to just go dominate Alabama we got to see something last night after the game that I never thought I would see Nick Saban cried Nick Saban was crying I don't know if he was upset because he was hungry need another oatmeal cream pie if he just was mad because he wishes that he was practicing instead of playing in a game. I don't know why he was really emotional after the game, and I didn't think that it could happen.
I didn't think that he had tears. I knew we always said, like, after Nick Saban wins the national championship, he jacks off one time, and that's his moment of pleasure.
He's got a little mayonnaise packet filled with KY jelly in his pocket, pops that sucker open. open he keeps in there all year long as a reminder of his great goal but then after the game when his eyes start to lactate it was like he didn't he didn't even know what to do with himself he was like i'm i'm very emotional i'm overcome yeah yeah it was um so alabama dominie it does feel good that like they're the clear winner and it was a weird year, and there was all this, without playing out of conference, could we get a real? Yes, this was a real winner, so there's some finality to it.
I think Georgia could have beaten them. Yeah, maybe Texas A&M needs another shot.
I would like to see. Notre Dame actually, all things considered, held them to I think their lowest total all year.
They should definitely let Notre let uh notre dame play against ohio state and just have ohio state wax the shit out of them um all right let's get big cat wait what we're all saying like the college season's over how many people out there have forgotten we get fcs football in like a month yes we get an entire season of spring football we got deon sanders we got uh trey lance is not playing nope so jmu has a shot this year at winning the natty we got it we got a second football season it's true it's coming soon in february um i'm excited for it deon is gonna we got to go down to a game that would be awesome ever had one of those days when it's just too cold to keep working nah neither has ariot ariot work jackets and boots

IRNR.com Do you want to kill him? Would you kill him in the ring? I would commit mansR.com. D.O.
Vaughn, do you want to kill him? Would you kill him in the ring? That was great. I would commit manslaughter.

It's whatever happens in the ring happens in the ring. But I'm excited.
Dude, you're going to kick his ass. Dude, I'm so pumped.
You've been training. I've been low-key been training like for a long time.

There's rumors on the street that you are going to make yourself a weapon.
I'm going to make myself a lethal weapon. Okay, so that's confirmed.
Without the intent to kill. That is a rumor that's confirmed.
Say again? How are you going to travel? Oh, shit. I hasn't thought about that.
You can't travel as a weapon. Yeah.
Can't cross straight lines. Wait.
But wait. If you're a weapon, you can't travel as a weapon yeah can't cross state lines literally can't travel wait if you're a weapon you can't travel just wait till you get down there to weapon if you're like yeah if you're like Megatron Megatron turned into a gun so you can if you just turn yourself into a transformer you can unweaponize yourself and then once you get to the location, boom, you're gone again.
Fuck the feds.

I'm a lethal weapon everywhere.

Yeah.

There you go.

It's going to be hype.

I'm so excited.

I have a question, Billy.

Yeah.

Once it got announced and it's official, were you a little bit like, oh, shit, this is actually happening?

Or were you just excited?

I was.

Because I was like, oh, wait.

This is my honor.

This is really going to happen.

So basically, when we first discussed it, when the tweet first surfaced and I was, like, doing my laundry, it was a Saturday. Nice details there.
No, but think about it. It's a Saturday.
I'm just, like, trying to get all my stuff done on my day off. Yeah, all that work that you do on the weekends.
No, it's a Saturday. Saturday is the day when Billy does all of his work.
No, because Sunday. Sunday coming to the air.
By the way, the way, remember, I have a whole other school that I do. I'm currently training for the volunteer and income tax assistant program.
How many Call of Duty hours do you log a week? Well, it's the only thing I can do in my free time. Right.
Anyway, because I can't leave. Right.
Anyway, so I'm just doing all my chores. We didn't kidnap you.
Right. You can leave.
I know. I know.
I know. But like Saturday is a good day to get a lot of stuff done.
Right. Your day off.
Anyway. So.
No. So then I'm like suddenly my phone starts blowing up.
And of course like my mind goes like to a worst case scenario. Like oh my God.
Like something really bad is happening. Billy got canceled.
Yeah. Like something terrible or or like you know what would be terrible in that case i don't know like the vegan rumors got picked up by the news yeah like yo someone saw me buying vegan stuff anyway uh no but then it's like oh like 100k jose gonseko and i'm like let's fucking go yes and i'm like so basically the first thing i did was just, you know, Jose Canseco.
And I'm like, let's fucking go. Yes.
And I'm like, so basically the first thing I did was just shadow box for three straight minutes to see if I had the conditioning. On your day off.
Right, it was my day off. Holy shit.
Billy, we're going to have to get you training with your chickens. Chase your chickens around, try to catch them.
What do you think I've been doing? Yeah. Has it worked for Rocky? Yeah.
So, no, I've been, I'm hyped. So excited.
You are a weapon, dude. You're in the prime of your career.
I'm mean and mean. No more belly football.
Jose's a big fucking fraud. Yeah.
And not only is he a fraud, but he's, like, trying to stir the pot a little bit, trying to tweet at people, trying to be clever. That's not even Jose that's tweeting, by the way.
That's his little cuck wannabe steps on Evan. These are PFT's comments.
No, no. My honor's already on the line.
I've done enough. They're my comments, and I will own them.
He's got a little thirsty little cuck boy, Evan, that likes to tweet at people and DM people being like, yo, Jose actually really thinks that he can come on your podcast if you pay him $20,000. Billy, you're going to take down their entire camp? He's got a little reek.
Yeah, a little reek. You're going to send them back to – where does he live now? Does Jose even have a permanent address? Are you worried at all that it might be Ozzy that shows up? Yeah, but I'll beat them both.
Okay, nice. Ozzy was the one who did less steroids, and that's why he wasn't a pro.
No, I think Ozzy did more steroids. I don't really care.
It's all dead weight now. I looked at the picture.
I'm hyped. You've got to focus on yourself because you are positive energy, weaponized Billy football.
Everyone gas him up. We're going to do it.
Once I – you know, if I beat up Jose Cansego and he loses his fight, I don't see how he can even show his face in public again. So I'm literally wiping him off the face of the earth.
Right. We're never going to hear from him again.
I'm so excited. And then it's – I'm so – and if you're thinking to yourself, hey, like I don't really like Billy football.
Like he's annoying, whatever. You might see me get knocked out, too.
Well, no. You're fighting for my honor.
For me, my dignity. So I'm hyped.
Yeah. I think if you can't get behind Billy Football in a fist fight against Jose Canseco, I don't think you were an award-winning listener to begin with.
Yep, fat. We've got to bring the troops together.
Verbal meme. No, wait.
Save this for parlor. Verbal meme, me, with a bunch of knives going to my back, protecting them from Big Cat, who's also protecting A-Rod.
Yeah, Hank, we've got to get you set up with a parlor. Hank Linwood.
What do you think about that? Anyway. No comment from Hank.
That's a no comment, folks.

He has no platform to speak.

Billy, you got to de-platform Jose.

I'm a de-platform Jose.

You are.

You got to de-platform him.

Take him out, Billy.

And then it's on to Jake Paul.

Yes.

Utilize your second minute.

And Billy, this is what we've been telling you.

Once you get some tape out there, now you're a fighter.

Now you're Jake Paul. First Domino, Jose.
then it's Jake Paul, and then I'll probably retire until I've got to kick some of those. No, no, no.
Mike Tyson. I respect MMA.
Dustin Diamond, James. No, I'm just here to take out frauds.
We're just going to Billy fight everybody. I'm like the IRS.
Jake, then Loke. Take down the Paul brothers.
Yeah, take down the whole Paul operation. Exactly.
Yeah, I can take, you can take Logan. Logan's actually probably more of my weight.
Paul George. Because Jake's bigger.
Yeah. Jake's pretty tall.
No, Logan's taller. No, Jake's like 6'3".
I'd fuck up late. Anyway.
Can't say February 5th. February 5th.
I'm going to kill Jose. I'm pumped.

Hot seat, cool, to run Hank. My hot seat, I have a few.
The first one is Kyrie Irving and the NBA in general. I don't think we talked about this on the show because it happened Thursday night, but he did not play against the 76ers.
He didn't tell anyone why he wasn't playing. Steve Nash was like, I have no idea why he's not playing.
I haven't heard from him. So that's a tough look, you know, just in general.
Yeah, he's getting very well acquainted with Kyrie Irving very quickly. And then now he's being investigated because there's pictures and videos servicing of him partying while he's away from the team.
For his father's birthday. Ancestor's birthday.
Ancestor's birthday. So I'm actually, I'm team Kyrie.
Does that matter? Ever since. I mean, it's a little different than like just a random stripper party, right? Well, James Harden was supporting his girlfriend who's a boss true.
And Dwayne Haskins had a strip party at his house.

That's true.

So he didn't go out for it. But Kyrie, I like Kyrie now.

Ever since I saw the video of him cleansing the arena with Sage walking around,

how can you not root for that?

How can you not possibly be on the side of an NBA player?

That's problematic, dude.

Why?

I forget what.

There was a reason it was problematic.

No, there was a reason it was problematic. Because it's a was probably because it's a native american ritual but kairi is part native american right so that was problematic for you for what for just whatever i don't know is he was is he part yeah he is like kairi warren yeah yeah no they're they're related they're yes they're first cousins very closely but yeah i i like krie Irving.
I like it when he does weird shit like this.

What's weird about just not showing up?

It's the same thing as Dwayne Haskins.

I would never like it on my team, but I like having Kyrie in the mix.

That's the important part.

As someone who doesn't root for the Nets, it's a cool, interesting story.

It's like, hey, let Kyrie just do whatever he wants.

He's made a ton of money. He can come and go as he wants.
If you're a Nets fan, this probably sucks, and it's probably very frustrating. And the NBA is imposing a new rule, so I guess they're having a bunch of outbreaks.
You're not allowed to do handshakes before the game. Hockey would never.
You have to do a fist bump and then return to your side of the court. And then after you come out of the game you have to put a mask on unless you get like a one minute cool down period in a in a cold seat or the cool throne as it should be known nice where you get to sit by yourself in a chair that's 12 feet away from your teammates like lebron james in 2019 but wait they're still playing they're still playing on the court.
Yeah. And still bumping into each other.

They're kind of like, they just need to kind of suck it up

and accept that there's going to be like,

they're trying to put in protocols that just are not going to work.

They're trying to say that you're not allowed to go anywhere

except for your house after games.

It's like, how are you going to enforce that?

Just bubble it again.

Right.

I mean, it seems like that's the only logical solution,

but they're not going to get there.

They're not going to go to a bubble.

I don't know.

But they're going to have to.

Yeah, I don't know.

It's going to be interesting to see over the next couple weeks.

You can't tap hands during free throws.

You can't tap hands during free throws.

Oh, that's huge.

Like when you go up and say, hey, keep your head up.

Those are your teammates.

What is Duke going to do whenever the ref blows a whistle for literally anything?

Are they going to be able to huddle up as boys?

No.

No.

Sad.

My other hot seat, Chase Claypool, they had a bad loss to the Browns. He said on Instagram Live, he said it's a bad loss to the Browns.
No, it's a bad loss, but the Browns are going to get clapped against the Chiefs. Wait, he said it again? Because he said it last week.
That was Juju. Oh, Juju also.
Jesus Christ. Still talking shit? Juju said that before the game.
Chase Claypool, after the game, after they lost, said it's a bad loss, but the Browns are going to get clapped, so who cares? Oh, my God. And then Sammy Watkins said that they're not going to have a problem with the Browns.
I like that. Sammy Watkins is getting on the shit talk, too.
I mean, the Steelers, you just lost. Just shut up.
Crazy. Then.
Crazy. Then my cool throne is Stefan Thomas.
Oh, that was mine. So he, this is the guy, he has a shit ton of Bitcoin, a digital wallet that holds 7,000 Bitcoin, but he forgot the password of it.
And so he, what does he have? Like three more times? So he has eight. He's done two more guesses.
Two more guesses. He has 10, you have 10 10 guesses on your passwords he's used eight of them and he has 20 220 million dollars in bitcoin just sitting there and he was like i just sit up at night trying to think about my passwords and i just i don't have it so you would think that would be put him on the hot, but I put him on the cool throne because this is basically the greatest game show ever invented.

Uh-huh.

You get two guesses every password.

I don't know how you figure it out.

So where does it go if he doesn't get it right?

It just goes to the internet?

It just self-destructs.

Yeah.

Al Gore gets it?

Yeah.

You know what he should do?

Remember the night that I forgot my password?

He's got to get up and take a walk.

I forgot my password to my computer, got up, took a walk, came back, boom, had it.

But you didn't have stakes. I mean, everyone thought I was losing my mind and that I had COVID, so there were some stakes.
If I were him, I would try every drug. But either way- You got to take acid or mushrooms and try to unlock that portion of your mind.
Yes. Because whatever you do, you tried it sober, it didn't work that way.
Kill your ego. Yeah, there you go.
Ego death. Ego death.
And then go back in time and watch yourself enter the password. Yep.
I just hope that one of these networks can figure out a way to turn this into a game show because it's an electric concept. Yeah.
Yeah. It also sounds like a great, like, rom-com.
Yeah. It does.
Yeah. Either it sounds like a game show, like, idea or like a script.
The girl that he meets ends up, like, somehow knowing somehow knowing the password. Now, would he be allowed to sell? National treasure.
Could he hedge out of this? Is there anyone that could buy his last two guesses from him for $100,000? You would never. How would you just guess? He's got to have a ballpark.
Yeah, you'd either have to guess or maybe like someday in the future, that's internet real estate, those Bitcoins. I have no idea how Bitcoin works.
But if you deposited Bitcoin into a wallet at some point, you should in theory be able to get your $220 million back. I know how Bitcoin works.
Every time I buy Bitcoin, it goes down. That's happened twice now.
Because I did buy some last week. I always buy it at the peak.
I'm heavily... It's very smart investing.
Heavily leveraged in Dogecoin. Well, Bitcoin, the craziest thing about Bitcoin is you just hold it.
Buy and hold. I listen to a podcast.
Right, but that's... Didn't understand any of it.
Like, the whole point of being rich is to spend money and do cool shit. Bitcoin...
Yeah, but Bitcoin, in the next 10 years, it's going to be the only currency that exists. There's going to be at least a few people who die, and they're going to be on their deathbed, and they're going to be worth $100 million.
They didn't spend any of it, but they're like, but I was right. Bitcoin.
Is it possible to just get money for Bitcoin now? It's really hard to liquefy. If I've got like six Bitcoins, it's hard to liquefy.
Can I just,

can I get money for it?

You can,

but it's hard.

You could liquefy

small amounts.

I want to turn my,

if I had a million dollars

worth of Bitcoin

and I wanted to go to the store

and buy a Cherry Coke Zero.

No.

I couldn't do that?

No.

That kicks ass.

It's actually pretty cool.

You transferred some of it

to like a Cash App account

and then you could

liquefy it easier there. Buddha Ben is actually accepting Bitcoin for his sweatshirts.
So you could just buy a shitload of sweatshirts. I like that.
Bitcoin's kind of like if we created Gritcoin and then told everyone else, all of our listeners to make a wallet. And then, you know, it only has value to all of us.
Right. But then we made all our merch.
The only way you could buy it is with Bitcoin. Okay.
And then it would raise in value because of all of us, our own, how much we think it's valuable. So my Gritcoins are just Photoshopped of coins with Danny Woodhead and Mike Allstott on them.
But they're only available if I tweet them at somebody. That's how they're authenticated.
So there's a centralized authentication process. The blockchain is different.
You'd need a little more crypto. Yeah.

Zoology.

Billy knows.

Crypto.

Okay.

Crypto zoology.

Blockchain just fascinates.

You can put blockchain in front of anything and it goes up in value.

You remember that?

Like two years ago, there was an iced tea company that decided to call themselves like

blockchain tea and their stock went up 5,000%.

That's business.

Realistically, we should do blockchain voting.

That would make a lot of sense. Okay.
Let's say that for another podcast. Let's point that out there.
That seems like a deep dive. PFT, what do you got? My hot seat is Tampa Bay.
My hot seat is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because Tom Brady tweeted out a Photoshop yesterday after somebody said to him online that every future Tom Brady game should be played on the History Channel. And Tom Brady's Photoshop that he put out was him and Drew Brees, both looking very old, but both looking very old in very, very different ways.
Tom Brady looks like he's Kenny Rogers' bodyguard, or like Kenny Rogers on P90X while he's still alive. And then Drew Brees looks like a guidance counselor.
And he's very bald. He's got a fucked up...
Tom brady in this photoshop gave drew breeze neck cancer he's got like skin cancer on his neck he just looks old out of shape and uh it's going to be bulletin board material for the saints i'm calling it right now drew breeze quote tweeted and said this is good exclamation point which is the most passive aggressive thing ever well it's accurate yeah for drew breeze what what why is tamp Tampa Bay on the hot seat board? Because it's bulletin board material for the New Orleans Saints. Got it.
I think that, like, I don't know, Tom Brady definitely went out of his way to make himself look good and make Drew Brees look really, really, really, really bad in this. I don't like it.
I don't like it for Tom Brady. I think Tom Brady's gotten too online in the last couple years.
Okay. Yeah's gonna be i'm excited for that game very excited old heads uh my cool throne was gonna be the bitcoin guy too uh so instead i'll just do my cool throne is nate sudfeld because the uh philadelphia eagles sided with nate sudfeld over doug peterson yeah so my hot my cool throne was gonna be uh doug pet Doug Peterson because he's actually free of Philadelphia, which seemed like he hated coaching there at this point.
Well, he said he got sick of being told what to do all the time, which is a pretty big part of being an employee. And the hot seat is, like, Carson Wentz is now, because I assume that they will keep Carson Wentz.
It feels like. I mean, much the main point of it.
He got fired. He risked it all for Nate Sudfeld, essentially.
And they're like, we need to keep Carson Wentz as our starting quarterback. Let's give him another shot.
Although Carson Wentz, he was starting to become like, it's my new favorite game to play mentally in the NFL. It's like, just close your eyes and imagine this quarterback with Kyle Shanahan.
It's like, oh, man, okay, Carson Wentz, Cam Newton could be good, Justin Fields, Swag Kelly with Kyle Shanahan. Talk about pressure that, like, your coach gets fired and now you're probably going to start again.
And also the statue deserves to be up because it was the first Super Bowl in Philadelphia history, but the fact that we're three years removed and Doug Peterson and Nick Foles are no longer there, that's wild. Yeah, I mean, listen, they took down Joe Pa's statue.
They might take these guys down too. Yeah, for different reasons.
Different reasons. Yep.
Billy, you got Hot Seat Coulthard? Yes, Hot Seat Jack Easterby. All these Easterby.

How do you pronounce his last name?

Easterby.

Just say whatever.

We'll pretend that's right.

Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins are all, you know,

bagging on the Houston Texans for saying that Deshaun Watson

should just stand his ground and get traded.

Everyone's just piling on saying that the Houston Texans

are a terrible organization. So, Hot Seat Jack.
Can you imagine Deshaun Watson with Kyle Shanahan? Deshaun Watson did just tweet when Dre speaks, listen, about – or no, that was DeAndre Hopkins about Andre Johnson. So basically everyone hates the Texans organization.
I don't know. Does Deshaun Watson have it in him? Like, he has to sit.
He has to sit if he wants to actually get traded. There has to be a real threat that he would not play for this to work.
I honestly think that if he sat, Texans fans would be like, we understand. I don't think he has it in him, though.
I really don't. And I just think he wants to play football, and it will be interesting to see.
You know what you should do? Like a reparative knee surgery like Edelman did before the surgery. That would be a great way to opt out.
What I really want is for the Dolphins to trade three and two for the Texans because it would be the biggest cuck trade of all time because it's their own pick. Get your pick back.
We've been holding it hostage. Essentially it was like ransom on your draft pick.
What if it was like, we'll trade you this pick back, but we have to hire Bill O'Brien. Ooh, okay.
Nick Saban might do that. He's the latest name that's floored out there.
But I think Deshaun Watson, his whole thing is he wasn't part of the process for hiring a general manager or a head coach when they told him that he would be. It was very funny watching the press conference that they gave when they were explaining how the process unfolded because they just referred to Deshaun Watson by his number.
They just kept calling him four. No, four was a very intimate part of this process when we were bringing in Nick Cassero.
They gave everybody a name, and then they were like, they just always referred to their star quarterback as number four. That's why it kind of feels like it's not totally the same, but Aaron Rodgers, remember how mad? Allegedly he was mad that Matt LaFleur was hired without his say, and eventually he's like, yeah, well, I'm going to keep playing.
I feel like Deshaun Watson is just going to keep playing. Yeah.
I don't know. He seems mad.
Deshaun. Real mad.
If you want to come to a functional franchise. He's in his fields.
Washington football team. We know how to run an organization, buddy.
Cool, Throne? We'll have you. That's okay.
Jake, did you have any hot seats? Hot seat, Cannons, because the PLL just came out with a new team, the Cannons Lacrosse Club, so the Water Dogs are no longer the new kids on the block. Cannons? Cannons, I'll see, yeah.
Tits? No, it's Cannons. They were the most popular MLL team.
They just did a merger, Boston Cannons. We merged? Yeah, merged with another league.
I think that this is actually probably like a huge moment in the lacrosse history. This is like when the NFL and NFL merged.
No, but like we have the same exact thing as the NFL and the AFL. Merging.
Yeah. Yeah.
So now we're just going to have to refer to all the championships pre-merger is not really counting. So exactly.
The water dogs not winning. It's just cool.
Yeah, it is. And cool throw in the Masters allowing limited fans in April.
Hell yeah. Okay to normalcy as usually like limited fans still right yeah yes yeah are they doing pimento cheese that's the only thing i care about oh yeah these aliens are going to be back hell yeah all right uh let's get to uh stone cold steve austin before we do that uh what do you got up pft uh one One of our favorite advertisers is back.
Roman Swipes. You guys know Roman Swipes.
Most guys have tried different ways to last longer in bed, but thinking about baseball doesn't always work. I know when I think about Bud Selig, it's just a volcano.
It's just slime time down there. It looks like the game is being played on Nickelodeon.
The folks at Roman and Online Men's Health Company are, are changing the game with Roman Swipes. 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.
They're fast acting. 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 it. They're super easy to use.
You just take the swipes out of the packet, swipe it on, let it dry, and you're good to go. That's it.
Go to GetRoman.com slash take. You can get your first month of swipes for just $5 when you choose a monthly plan.
That's GetRoman.com slash take. Now here he is, Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest. It's actually, I'm going to say it, you're a good friend.
Can we say that you're a good friend? It's Stone Cold Steve Austin. We're friends, right? Absolutely.
Hell yes. Okay.
Hell yeah. I love that because I did try to give you the shirt off my back.
I wish you were still in the studio right now, but we have to do it over Zoom. So Stone Cold's here.
He's got his second season of his talk show coming out January 11th. Straight up, Steve Austin.
Let's talk about that real quick. So I was looking at the guest list.
You got Steve-O and you got Brett Favre as part of a great guest list. Now, for people who didn't watch, it's the first season.
It's essentially a cooler, more badass version of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. You're hanging out with these people all day.
Tell us real quick, like Brett Favre, is he going to come back? Did you get any sense that he can play football still? Oh, I get a sense he can still throw the football. He threw me one, but I don't know if he's coming back.

You'd have to ask him that.

But, yeah, it was great to go out there in Mississippi and hang with him.

What did you guys do out there?

Did you go hunting?

I know he likes to spend a lot of time out in the woods.

We did something that could be construed as hunting related

because I guess he hunts just like myself I do.

So we had a lot of things in common. Actually, him growing up in the south and being from a small town so it was really cool because I was wondering how that guy would be I've watched his whole career and then to go down there and hang out you know where he comes from and to figure out man he's a laid-back guy and what you see on tv is Brett Favre not the football player, just the guy.
He's a very humble dude. I'm trying to think what that means when you say we did something that could be construed as hunting.
That could mean a whole lot of shit there, Steve. It could be, but in the vein of using something.
Okay. Well, I guess that's a great teach.
Did you try to kill a squirrel with a football?

You can.

Did you stun a moose?

You can.

I did.

Last I checked, there wasn't no moose down there in Mississippi.

Is that like something that people ask you

even when you're hosting a talk show and you're interviewing them?

Has anybody ever been like, sir, will you please stun me no that has never happened like i've told that story a long time ago i stunned a guy down there and uh we was jimmy somewhere and i gave someone a stunner on a concrete floor god dang it hurt my ass something severe best place to give a stunner the only place to give a stunner is a damn or a pool. Pool stunners are always fun.
Yeah, but you're not going to get the full impact. The water's going to slow you down.
Sure, you're not going to hit the cement, but you're not going to deliver the full impact of this region catching right underneath that jaw. When was the last time you gave a true stunner? When was the last time? And do you think you're maybe a little out of practice? Because it sounds like do you lose that is that something you lose or you just it's like riding a bike you can stun you know you can roll out of bed and start stunning people dude i can roll out of bed and start stunning people that's that's one of the things that you don't forget you can go out there and you can lose your timing and have a little bit of ring rust or you know your punches might be off but the stunner that so many times.
It's just like you said, like, you know, once you learn how to ride a bicycle, you don't forget. Do you have, like, a mental list that you keep when you see people, like, either on the news or just, like, on television that you keep and you're like, it's on site with that guy.
I want to stun that person. I want to stun that person.
No, because, I mean, hell, I mean, you know, that was Stone Cold Wrestling related. You know, and I'll sit there and look at people that I could give a stunner to because, you know, it's basically, I guess you could shoot with it.
I've never shot with it, but, you know, it's a worked move. Yeah.
So you had Steve-O on the show. There have been some people on TV that I like to punch in the mouth.
So, yeah, you throw the stunner out. If someone's making me mad, I'd just rather punch him in the jaw.
Yes, yes. So when you had Steve-O on, did you guys compare injuries? Because I would say you two might be the most injured people on earth combined.
We did run through an injury list. I mean, that guy's been through the ringer just like I have.
Him probably even more so than I. He broke a bunch of teeth and stuff like that.
So, you know, it's funny watching that guy, you know, back in the jackass days, and they're making another movie. But back in the day, you know, that show was a thing, and it was kind of right along the timeline of when we were really hot.
Yes. All these years later to sit there and talk to that guy after watching him do all of the carnage he's a highly intelligent human being and very well spoken and you never thought it watching him back then but what a cool guy he is and what a smart guy and a smart self-marketer he is yeah i agree we like uh being you know in our mid-30s uh i would say we're the last generation that has our feet on the ground and a sense of normalcy because we weren't raised by the internet we were raised by jackass in the attitude era so like come on we don't no facebook we're just stunning people just normal normal throwing ourselves off buildings and stuff yeah pushing my friend in a shopping cart and into like a cactus that's how we were raised yeah just good shit all around just hijinks yeah um what have you what have you learned doing this talk show because this is something that's been like a different career path for you trying something new and by all accounts that i've seen it's been a real success like people are like damn stone cold is actually really good at not fighting people but interviewing them also like was there a transition process or was there a moment when you're like, okay, this is easier than I thought it'd be? No, it's not easier than I thought it would be because it was all a work in progress.
But I guess, you know, like I was talking with Booker T the other day, you know, working in the business of pro wrestling, you know, you can learn how to work in a ring, you can learn how to cut promos, you learn how to deal with people and then get into the podcast business. You know, I did that for did that for a damn near six years.
So you're interviewing people and you're having these conversations with them. So now all of a sudden, you get someone out there, a guest, and you put a couple of activities in front of them.
So you're doing stuff that you can bond over, kind of helps facilitate the conversation. But when you first start doing it, it's kind of like trying to walk and chew bubble gum and juggle at at the same time so there's a lot of different things going on on the show so it's a work in progress but after getting a season one in us and we did really good in the ratings uh and now season two i really know what the show is all about it's about my guest and a little bit of me having fun and sharing their stories it's gotten easier with repetition but If we get season three and we don't wait so long to film it because of this COVID thing, it'd be really great to get, it'd be really great to be able to get back to work.
Yes. Yes, absolutely.
So, uh, if for people who are listening to this right now, the first time we had stone cold on, he was in studio. It was like about an hour interview.
That's when I fan boyed out and asked all my fanboy questions. So now we're just friends.
I don't know if I asked you, though, what was the maddest that, like, Vince has ever been with you behind the scenes? What was the, like, most contentious moment between Steve Austin and Vince McMahon behind the scenes, and what caused that? You know, I don't think there ever was that time. Now, I wasn't there in the building when I no-showed in Atlanta.
So it wasn't face-to-face. I'm sure he was mad as a hornet, but I was on an airplane drinking Bloody Mary's headed back to San Antonio.
So I can bring it up, but I can't speak to it. I'll never forget, early on, Stone Cold characters started getting hot.
So automatically the two biggest things back in the day was Stone Cold and The Undertaker, or should I say The Undertaker and Stone Cold. So they were just going to put us together in a match because we were the two biggest things going at the time.
And so, you know, Taker was a baby face. I was a kind of turned baby face.
And I figured, hey, if they're going to book this match, I think it was in the garden. I went out there and cut this scathe and heel promo just to try to elicit and get some heat.
And I went back to the dressing room after the interview, and Vince calls me aside. It was almost like a learning lesson or putting me under the learning tree.
He goes, God dang it, Steve. He goes, what were you doing? Because I'm figuring you got to have it.
And this is back in mid and late 90s. I'm thinking you got to have a good guy and you got to have a bad guy.
And if he's kind of a good guy, I'm going to be the bad guy. So that was a learning lesson and not even a stern talking to, but that would have been one of those moments.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, that's a fascinating speed just because Vince McMahon you know through the years I think his eye for the story and the talent uh is what has made it all work and and like knowing it's the famous line like I know what you want more than you know what you want and that's that's really true right like that and I would assume that you got to that point too where you knew what the fans wanted before they knew what they wanted. Yeah, and there's sometimes, you know, when we would disagree on finishes, whether it was in the States or overseas, what Vince thought the fans might want as far as the finish went.
And I disagreed, and we had a conversation, and maybe something got changed. But I agreed, you know, 99% with most of the direction that Vince always went.
But there were times when we disagreed. But he's the smartest guy I've ever worked with.
And I always tell everybody I've learned more working with Vince McMahon than I have anywhere in my life, including, you know, damn near five years of college. He's a smart, smart guy.
Yeah. Yeah.
I think last time you were on, we we talked about a lot of the beer stuff like the time that you went swimming in the ring which was i for my money that's the best moment in wrestling history when you're swimming in like an inch and a half of beer that was wonderful when you sprayed vince mcmahon down with the beer hose from the beer truck another all-time moment but i know if i'm looking back in my own mind about the best tasting beers i've ever had i'm not talking about like different types of beer but you know that beer that hits different when you think about like a certain moment in your life is there a beer that sticks out to you as the best tasting beer that you've ever slammed now the best tasting beer i've ever slammed was probably down there in tampa a couple years back at the raw, whatever it was, 1,000 episodes or Raw reunion, whatever it was, and I drank my own beer, Broken Skull IPA, on television in Florida. That was the best tasting.
But as far as kind of that moment that you're talking about when, God dang, this is almost a celebratory beer because I've been through so much. It was right after – well, two occasions.
Once after working with The Rock in Philly in WrestleMania 15 because I was going through a divorce. I'd forgotten my vest.
I had to walk to the ring in a T-shirt. That sucked ass.
So those beers after beating him was like damn right. and then another one was in the very live match against the undertaker they actually wanted me to run that backhoe and i refused to because i think i thought i would have done damage to him because that thing was that was the one thing i couldn't learn to drive on live tv in short fashion and i've been going through some kind of stomach virus for about three, almost four weeks.
I'd lost about 15, 17 pounds going into that match. I'm noticeably slimmer than I was.
And going through that match, I was sick as a dog still and making it through the match, tearing up some cartilage off my rib cage during the match, and then guzzling those beers. That was like, yeah, I got through it, but drinking those beers was the most painful thing that I'd ever done because my gut wasn't ready for beer.
Those two moments. The first thing you have, yeah, it's like you're sick for two weeks.
Like, first thing you have back is a beer while you're burying Undertaker alive, and that's why you're a legend. Yeah, you've got to put your body through.
You've got to see if you're ready for a performance. The best way to do that is just slamming two beers at once.
What's this buzz about you maybe coming back in the ring for maybe another match? I see it. I see the buzz.
You want to talk about it? I don't see a buzz. I don't feel the buzz.
Oh, I feel the buzz. No.
Well, I don't know because, hell, I just got finished talking about it a while back. RBD or somebody said I was looking for a comeback match.
I am not. I can talk like I do and say I ain't looking for a rematch.
I'm not looking for another match. That was a rumor whether he started it or someone else

but I can tell you right here

in camera that

I'll never wrestle another match

in my life. What?

They always say, never say never.

I'll say it. I'm done.

Never's a long time. $10 million.

I got done a long

time ago and I got the wrestling bug out of my

system and that was a long process

and I've talked about that extensively

on this project I've been working on

I'm going working on. But I love the business.
I love watching the business. I love watching the current talent or watching legends go back and having one more run at it, but not me.
So $100 million, one match. No, it ain't worth it.
So wait, so that's interesting what you just said, that it took you a while to get it out of your system how long was it from uh the last time that you were wrestling like consistently how many years did it take for you to fully be like you know what i don't really miss it i know you've done appearances and you've been involved and you've stayed in the limelight somewhat but like how long was it before you were like you know what I don't need to be back physically in the ring going through a 20-minute match you know it took me a couple years to get over that and it was a hard pill to swallow because I was a guy that

had to pull my own plug based on you know the the injury that I had at a SummerSlam in 97 you know

I had the neck fusion got back in the ring made a couple more years but things just started adding

up and it was kind of like dude you need to get out of dodge and I although I made the decision

Thank you. And, you know, I had the neck fusion, got back in the ring, made it a couple more years, but things just started adding up.
And it was kind of like, dude, you need to get out of Dodge. And although I made the decision, the hardest decision I've ever made in my life, and it took me a long while, a couple of years to come to grips with that decision and deal with it and move on.
Right. I was looking up some pictures of old school Stone Cold.
What should we call you, Mr. Cold? Steve? Mr.
Austin? I thought we were just friends. You guys called me Steve.
Steve. I love it.
I'm calling you Steve. I was looking up.
But if you want to call me Stone Cold just out of default or habit, that's fine too. Okay, Mr.
Steve, I was looking up these pictures of old school Stone Cold, and I found one back when you had hair.

This is an awesome picture. Look at that big cat.
Yeah, looks great. So the blonde hair that was like combed over to the side is you holding the United States heavyweight belt right here.
I can't see it, but that would have to be WCW. Yeah, yeah, it was your WCW days.
At what point did you decide like, okay, it's time to shave shave the head and did you feel a difference in yourself like in the character Stone Cold when you went from having hair to having no hair at all well that little comb-over job I was trying to kind of reinvent the stunning Steve Austin they didn't think I was marketable so I tried to do that hairstyle and then ended up going to Japan tearing my triceicep off my arm. But when I got fired right after this, you know, during the rehabilitation of that injury, that's when I decided to let it grow out again.
And I was growing it out. It was about halfway mullet, halfway scruffy.
I started that ECW run. And so it was kind of getting along again.
That's when I got the call from Vince. And this is about the third time we talked.
And he presented me with the ringmaster idea. And anytime you go up to New York, WWF back in the day, they want you to kind of change things around.
So, you know, it looks like you've been repackaged. Shit.
The worst repackaging job in the history of the business. So Pulp Fiction had just come out a while back,

and Bruce Willis had that buzz haircut.

Yeah.

So that's where that look come from.

That was inspired by Bruce Willis from Pulp Fiction.

And so, you know, that look was not a good look.

Me with the buzz haircut, no goatee. Uh-huh.

To say it was not money, I owed money. Yes.
Okay? And so me and Goldust, Dustin Rhodes, were traveling together back in the day, and we were working Pittsburgh, Mellon Arena. And I looked at myself in the mirror.
I said, dude, it looked like crap. I just got a razor out, and I started shaving my head.
Dustin said, dude, what are you doing? I said, man, F it. I said, it looks like trash anyway trash anyway i'm just taking it off so i showed a billow with bald haircut and everybody was kind of like you know you couldn't really see it unless the camera came in and it was a different look and that's when i started messing with that goatee so to really the question once i when i buzzed that hair off and then i started growing that goatee in that's when I started feeling like somebody yeah that's when I started feeling like uh stone cold and the ringmaster I never had any identity or any kind of feel for that and as a character to try to make decisions not knowing who and what that thing was supposed to be and there I am looking like Hollywood blondes boots you know emerald green trunks I'd switch them to black You know, they might have brought me in as a ringmaster, but they didn't have that grand of plans for me.
And that's when I decided after six months, I got to take matters into my own hands. And we talked about this last time, but the bald look always made it when you bled, you bled.
And people, that always showed out. So, all right, so you're not, so this is my last my last question you're done wrestling so because you're done wrestling we can do a hypothetical if you were to wrestle one more match and you could pick any wrestler dead or alive any year from their career to have that one match against and also pick your year what year stone cold steve austin would you pick? Match it up for us.

That's a good question,

right? Well, it's a tough question because there's so many great people that I have so much respect for. You know, Undertaker came over to the house.
Mark came by the house and did some Broken Skull sessions, and we always talked about his match with Bruiser Brody. He got roughed up a little bit.
And when Brody used to come down to the sportatorium down there in Dallas, Texas, I was in college right before I got into business. And I'd go down there and see him just beat the snot out of people.
And I always just loved the way him and Stan Hansen used to walk out to the ring in Japan and swing those chains. They didn't care.
So Bruiser Brody would be really high on my list. It would obviously be in prime Stone Cold brawling years post-Piledriver because that's the only way a Stone Cold could have matched up with the power, force, size, and strength, and wild man tactics of a Bruiser Brody.
Bruiser Brody's face, what he put into wrestling, the amount of cutting he did on his forehead and just, whew. Dude, if Bruiser Brody walked through the doors of the PC down there in Orlando, wherever the hell it's at, and there's guys that are bigger than him down there now, but there was something about Brody, the way he was built, his athleticism and that look.
Man, the guy had money written all over him. If you could invent another Brody and bring him back into 2021, it'd be amazing.
I love it. I love that answer.
All right, so you've got other stuff you've got to do. You have other shows you're going to go on.
But everyone check out Stone cold straight up steve austin january 11th usa uh great lineup i was i was watching the promo this morning great lineup of guests also uh we are friends uh i don't even know if i'm allowed to say this but i did actually appear i was i was interviewed for your documentary that's coming up and i had some nice things to say obviously what else would i say they probably cut everything i said oh, I was like, dude, Stone Cold was so awesome. You were probably telling them, they're like, what's your favorite memory? And you're like, oh, do you remember when he did this? Yeah, they were just like, okay, cool, dude.
You're too much of a fanboy. Thanks anyway.
I'm excited for that. Yeah, I've seen a little bit of that.
Yeah, so that should be great but uh awesome to catch up with you man we really appreciate it uh and friend to friends you know great to have you on hey man great seeing you guys stay safe uh and one of these days we'll get a chance to do this again in person yes please i really appreciate it we're gonna drink if you're gonna god I will. Okay.
Just sell it. And, you know, I appreciate you guys helping me plug the show.
This is our second season. I've really enjoyed, you know, this segment of wherever I am in my life as far as a job goes.
Yeah. Because it's a damn blast to work with the people that I'm working with.
And basically I get paid to get on TV and have a good time and hear someone's stories and raise hell with them. So, shit, I'm almost stone cold.
I love it. I'm Steve Austin.
I love it. Steve Austin, thanks for helping me.
Yeah, thank you. All right, thanks, Stone Cold.
We'll talk to you later, man. Catch you on the next one.
All right, see ya. Hey, what's going on there, pal?

We saw you at the hockey game on.

Do I know you guys?

I'm Ryan Whitney.

I got a drink named after me.

Not a big deal.

Pink Whitney?

That's what I thought.

See ya, fellas.

I invented the thing, you pigeon.

Pink Whitney for legendary moments.

Okay, let's wrap it up with Guys on Chicks.

We got a big Friday show getting ready for Divisional Round.

I love Divisional Round so much. I fucking love Divisional Round.
I'm so excited for Divisional Round. I'm so excited for Divisional Round.
Can we call it Super Divisional Round? I do think that there's... It should be Super.
I really think every team should make the playoffs now. Just so that we can have more football.
And it just isn't... 16 games in the first weekend.
16 teams get a bye. Then 8 teams get a double bye How about this Big Cat

How about we have a 17 week long playoff

And then after 17 weeks

You go based on like the group play

And then those teams advance

No but all the teams advance

But they already did

They were already in the playoffs

Yeah no no no

I just want to try to get more football

Alright super divisional round weekend

Alright Hank

Thank you. No, but all the teams advance.
But they already did. They were already in the playoffs.
Yeah, no, no, no. I just want to try to get more football.
All right, super divisional round weekend. All right, Hank, guys on chicks.
Hey, boys. Once again, mainly handsome Hank.
Thanks for reading my question a couple months ago about whether functional athleticism is more important than being jacked. The same boyfriend who claims about functional athleticism took your advice and administered his own combine.
He's most impressed with his punt pass kick competition results of 132 yards. Is 132 yards a respectable number for punt pass kick, and should he be bragging about it? No, that's what, 40 yards per? Yeah, that's not good.
132? No, because that's probably, I would imagine, far. Like, he probably kicked a 30-yard field goal in a 50-yard punt and a 50-yard pass.
44 is not that good. Oh, I think that's decent.
No, I think you could beat it. Oh, a million percent.
Okay. 35-yard kick.
Yeah, exactly. And then 35-yard punt and then 70-yard pass.
Yeah, you could easily beat that. I do love this guy because there's something about, like, losing your functional athleticism overnight and you just don't even realize it because you're not using it every day.
And then, like, you know, so you basically think you're this great athlete, maybe played a little ball in college. Then you stop using it.
And one day you wake up and you got to fight Jose Canseco. You're like, shit, I don't have it anymore.
Yeah, that's true. That can happen.
No, no, no. But that's why you start training when the first inkling of it happens.
So it's not day one today. You remember back in elementary school when we'd have presidential fitness tests? They should do those, but just for adults.
Every age, but it gets like easier. You don't do the same.
You don like easier you don't do the same you don't do the flexed arm hang you don't do the pull-ups you don't do the v-sit as you get older it's just like getting off the couch can you install a car seat in under five minutes dude that's actually the hardest yeah that's what i'm saying you have to get presidential in under five minutes yeah can you walk up two flights of stairs and then have sex no no also no no you have to be i thought you were saying you walk up two flights of stairs and say a sentence no no dear pmt fellas i went to dinner with my boyfriend's family and they talked about how much they hate tattoos little did they know i had just gotten one the night before i'm going to the beach with them in a few weeks and my new tattoo is easily visible in a bathing suit should i break the news to them or wait until vacation to surprise them? Ooh, depends on what the tattoo is. Makeup.
If it's angel wings, then I think everyone appreciates, like, a giant set of angel wings on the back of a girl. I think you actually should just tell them the actual truth, because that's a funny story.
Be like, remember the other night when you were saying how much you hate tattoos? Well, I actually got one 24 hours beforehand then hope that works maybe do maybe throw in the spongebob laugh just as like a icebreaker hello to my favorite boys sorry for your lost dad cat and pft maybe your teams will bounce back next year probably not definitely not should i be self-conscious about my boyfriend jerking off mere hours after i gave him a blowjob? I gave him a blowjob in the morning on a Saturday, and when I left his house and met up with him a few hours later, he mentioned he jerked off before he took a shower. Oh, wow.
That's a compliment. So he's just – he's memory hold the blowjob, and he's like, I can't wait to rub one out while thinking about this.
Bragger. Yeah.
Like just being like, I've come twice today. No, I mean, I remember my first time.
My first time, I was at one point, I was thinking, I can't wait to crank off to this later. This is perfect for the spank bag.
Guys think like that. What's up, Chunk Cat and Big Dig Billy? My boyfriend and I have been dating for a week and we have not had sex yet sex yet only kissed he jerks off in front of me and makes me clean it up with a paper towel i asked him why don't you come on my back and he says because it's nasty do you think he knows how to have sex we need to clean up guys on chicks it's got to be less sex and more like actual functional like what do guys think we gotta help we gotta help them out well no it's about it's about chicks chicks it's not chicks on guys it's guys on chicks guys on chicks but also how we can help everyone out all right here's here's one then hey guys and billy recently i moved in with my boyfriend and one day i went on his laptop to check for a recipe and saw that one of my co-workers instagrams was pulled up there we go i thought nothing of it at the time but on separate occasions i was on the computer again and saw that not only my coworker had an OnlyFans, but that my boyfriend was subscribed.
I haven't brought it up at all. What should I do? Supporting women in small business.
Wow. You've got to bring it up.
You've got a prince and a boyfriend. I can't believe Ashley has an OnlyFans.
How gross is that? And then see what he says. I think you should do it in front of both of them.
Just be like, oh, Ashley, you have an OnlyFans because I know that Billy subscribes to it. Right in front of him.
What? That would actually be very... And then film it and send it to us.
I've read so many stories about girls with OnlyFans recently that I feel like 65% of women between the ages of 20 and 40 have an OnlyFans. Is that about accurate? Newsflash, dudes are horny.

You found a way to paywall the horniness. You found a market weakness that you're exploiting.

Billy has one.

What?

OnlyFans.

Oh, it's for my feet.

That was different.

Billy can potentially win more money this month

than he's probably ever had in his life at one time.

I would say that's a fact.

Between stool streams and

the rough and rowdy.

Billy might be rich

in a month. By the end of

February, I could be very, very well.

Imagine what's going to happen to the parlays.

Imagine how many frogs he's going to have in his

barn. Oh my god.
I wouldn't want

to be a frog in the New York tri-state

area. No, I'm getting a goliath

frog in a huge aquarium. It's going to be sick.
Billy is the drill tweet. Like, someone help me with my finances.
Rent, food. $50,000 on new frogs.
Alright, last one. That was it.
I got one. Hi guys.
My boyfriend is training for a boxing match and he doesn't know whether to abstain from jerking off or to jerk off seven times a day like Tyson Fury said what does he do you're not as cool as Tyson Fury I'm going to also ban your band from Warzone and pornography we didn't mention Billy that you were threatening to let Frank loose to possibly date Jose's daughter. Yeah.
If I beat up Jose, I'm going to introduce Frank to his daughter. Yeah.
And you guys know Frank. Yes.
You know what Frank's series is? Raw Dogging with Frank? Yeah. You know what? Frank? I'm going to introduce Frank to his daughter.
Mm-hmm. So, hey.
It might just be love. Oh, and then I'm going to buy his car wash.
That's the whole thing. If I win, I'm going to use the money to buy Jose's car wash.
And then I'm going to keep his name on the car wash and make him still come inside autographs on a salary. Oh, God.
Wait, so you're going to punk him by paying him money for his business and then continuing to pay him money on a monthly basis. You're going to cash Jose out and then give him a stipend.
I can't wait to see how Billy spends his winnings. Yeah.
All right. That's our show.
We'll see everyone Friday. We got to do our version of broke on Billy, but get it before he starts getting money.
100. 18.
7. 8.
35. Billy, if you lose this fight, you have to bring 69 back.
You said 13. No, because then that's the only thing I have.
50. Fuck.
Damn it. Love you guys.
Fuck. Whoa.
What? That's the third 50 in a month. Whoa.
I'm going to start guessing 50. Burgers.
That's how it works, right? Female bed bugs don't have vaginal openings,

so males must stab them in the abdomen with their penises.

So it's just dome time all the time?

No, it's...

Yeah.

Yeah. Thank you.
