Today is Wednesday, December 16th, and Lamar Jackson had diarrhea. Yes, we're just going to run with that.
I'm going to run with that. Get it, run.
Let's get all those out of the way first. Hey, Big Cat, did you hear that Lamar was about to drop the Browns off at the Super Bowl? Oh, that's good.

Did you hear that at the end of the game?

Wait, no, did the Browns or the Ravens went for that final deuce?

Oh, they went for two.

Well, they got that final deuce to cover the spread, too.

Big Cat, did you hear that Lamar was running through the bowels of the stadium?

Dude, it was so bad on Twitter and also. It was so good, though.
It was so good. It was so bad all at the same time.
It's also very funny that I kind of wish we had a job in TV for those moments. Because if you just make just the most subtle joke, everyone would be like, holy shit, dude.
That was awesome. The poop joke.
And I'll laugh at it i'm not i'm not saying i'm above that please if you saw the shots that they did at the three-man booth it was greasy it was steve levy and it was uh lewis reddick and steve levy had no pun intended the biggest shit-eating grin on his face because he knew what was going on he knew what the conversation was and he knew that he couldn't say it much like the JPP hand stuff. When he knows that he can't say that, he was just sitting there smiling and letting the other two guys talk.
And he was looking at the camera like Lamar right now is shitting. I want to say it.
You want to hear it. Everyone thinks it.
Everyone's thinking about it. I was shitting.
I was upset because I had to go take a crap. I left phone out on the couch i come back lamar's missing game time i had cramps during the game lamar's missing game time i just missed the fact that lamar was taking a poop while i was taking a poop yep so i understand how it must have been for him my big question is why didn't lamar just stay in the game and have diarrhea in his pants he should have done that i mean maybe he probably had cramps and he's probably telling the truth.
It would make him way less likely to get tackled if he had just a big stain. Miles Garrett's hitting him over the head with his own diaper.
Wait, did Miles Garrett come back in the game? He got hurt. His elbow got rolled up on.
I don't know. His elbow got fucked up.
I mean, with all the shit that was going on. It was chaos.
And the loser of the entire night, because I don't even,

we'll talk about the game in a second.

The loser of the entire night isn't even the Browns.

It's the fact that Paul Pierce's entire legacy is just anytime someone might

go to the bathroom during a game.

The guy won a title, tons of all-star games, and he was trending.

And then Lamar even said, I didn't pull Paul Pierce.

I actually had cramps.

Yeah.

So it is, I do imagine Paul Pierce just minding his own business,

He's trying to watch football. And then all of a sudden he's trending.
He's trending on Twitter. God damn it.
He probably knows that when he trends. Yeah.
It's either somebody got stabbed or somebody had diarrhea during a game. Right.
Everyone's getting their jokes off on Paul Pierce. So the actual game was phenomenal.
The Browns, I hate to do this again because we talked about it on Sunday with what game do we say both teams won? Oh, the Dolphins, the Chiefs. That kind of was a both teams win game because the Ravens needed the win, obviously, to get into the playoffs.
They have to kind of win out here. But the Browns, when they're down 14 in the second half, and again they're down with like two minutes left, those are Browns' times to just be the Browns.
You know what I mean? Even the two-point conversion that tipped off of, I think, Kareem Hunt's hands and went into Donovan Peoples' hands, like those are Browns' moments that don't go their way. And yeah, they lost, but you lost to Justin Tucker being a fucking monster and being able to kick it from anywhere.
The Browns were impressive in that game. Baker looked good, composed, like he had a bad interception, bounced back from it.
I don't know. I just like what the Browns do.
I think Stefanski's an awesome, awesome head coach. The only thing you could fault him with is they scored too quick, and I do believe in that yeah i mean they they scored too quick to end the game especially with a kicker like justin tucker on the other side so the only reason that it's not also a win for the browns is that the entire city cleveland's mind goes to looking at the rest of their schedule right after the game's right because now doubt has crept in like a little bit of doubt a little bit but that's all it takes for a Browns fan.
Jeff D. Lowe and the D stands for doubt.
Doubt, yeah, brutal is what I'm sure Jeff D. Lowe just kept repeating to himself.
Brutal loss. Brutal.
Absolutely brutal loss. But your mind does go to a bad place if you're in this situation, right? Your record right now is 9-3.
And when you see 9-3, you're like, we're an awesome team. And the Browns are a fun team.
Those Browns from last week can win the Super Bowl. The Browns from parts of the second half last night could win the Super Bowl.
The Browns at the very end of the game not going to be able to win the Super Bowl. But your mind goes to the place like we've suffered through every other kind of heartbreak.
This would be like the season-long equivalent of the fumble. And they have to win two right to get in no they they could win one and get in maybe but they need some help if that were to happen they could win one and get in and uh they do have the jets they've got that's pretty that's pretty much uh 10 wins there they have 10 wins and then maybe the steel Steelers in Week 17 aren't playing Ben.

Maybe they beat the Browns next weekend.

But that's why it doesn't feel like a double win.

Because if you're a Browns fan, you think, like,

this has happened before, we might be fucked.

I still think the Browns are going to make the playoffs.

I wouldn't be too concerned.

But it's definitely a possibility right now.

Remember, the Dolphins, too, have a pretty tough schedule coming up

because I think they played the Patriots, the Raiders, and the Bills.

So there's going to be – I don't think the other nine and six teams –

or sorry, nine and four teams are all going to run the table here.

You know what I mean?

So that would be – if you can beat the Jets

and then win one of those other two games, you'll be okay. You'll be set.
Yeah, but that's where their mind goes. And I understand it because it's happened to them before.
Absolutely. I also thought it was pretty sweet when at the end of the first half, they threw that Hail Mary.
And Baker, he did the coolest thing ever. He knew he was on TV.
He knew America was watching him. He just starts pointing down.
He's like, go deep. He's saying, like, go deep three times.
Dude, he threw it 70 yards. Then he just threw it out of the end zone just to be like, what's up? He's got a hose.
I got a hose out here. He's got an absolute hose.
And then on, so yeah, the Browns, I agree with you. The doubt creeps in a little bit here.
Their defense is not good, but their offense, like you wanted Baker to have a game where he bounces back from that bad interception, primetime game. Ravens have a good defense,

all those things.

The Ravens,

uh,

survive Lamar Jackson makes like Lamar Jackson still misses throws that he

should make.

But he also is when he gets hot,

he's a playmaker pretty much like unlike anyone else except Mahomes,

you know,

he,

he,

that,

that play he had where he comes back in and fourth down and throws it deep the play at the end of, was it the first half? When, when he scrambles and throws it deep and they score at the end of the first half, like he makes plays that very few guys can make. He also misses a lot of guys.
Also Hollywood Brown drops everything. So I think if you're the Ravens you're like hey we can get hot here down the stretch and if we can get a little mojo we're gonna be back in this picture because other than the like it's the chiefs and then everyone else is kind of in that good category the bills remember we moved the bills up and everyone else is good yeah so it's like okay anyone could do Yeah.
With Lamar, you can't just evaluate him as like a passer, just like a traditional passer, because he's made into a better passer when he's running the ball. And when the ball is in his hands, he changes the way that defenses play him.
So he's able to engineer easier throws for himself by manipulating the defense thinking he's going to run. And he was awesome running the ball last he's awesome at running the ball it makes his passing a lot better and guess what like i've been hard on the ravens i still think they're frauds but what i've always said is i want to see lamar come back late and he did that last night so you have to give them credit for that you can't be a hater when that happens um both both baker and lamar had some throws, but they also made some big, big, big time plays.
And it was an awesome Monday Night Football game. We were due for one of those.
Last night's game was life-affirming. It was the reason why we watched sports.
I texted Big Cat after the game. I was like, can I request a post-game? I didn't realize you were asking me.
I feel bad for people who don't watch sports tweets. And it was was like 20 minutes later.
I was like, Oh shit, that was for me. There was one moment in particular that it's going to be seared into my brain because it was as all the Lamar shit was going on.
It was as Baker was driving down the field. It's like the Browns fans were awesome.
There were people wearing full mascot costumes of giant fuzzy dogs, high-fiving each other. The Browns go down and score.

The Ravens are stuck in quarterback purgatory.

One of them's in the bowels of the stadium.

Then the Browns go back and score on a pass to Kareem Hunt.

And then they cut to the pylon cam as Kareem Hunt's extending the ball

into the camera of the pylon cam.

And I was like, there's no better sport in the world.

There's no better television in the world than to be sitting here

watching Monday Night Football. And on top of all of that obviously there are it isn't a packed house but there was enough weird browns fans yeah to give us some laughs those we had the browns and ravens fans jawing at each other we had the pumpkin head we had the sad dog face like dog face as it was drinking a somber beer yeah like there was enough of the crowd shots and and cleveland charm that gave us the full experience it was just a beautiful night it was a great great night and uh i the only thing i'm gonna say and and this is a big time trigger warning for all browns fans i make this analogy often but it is like watching an Shyamalan movie, and the dog's in the backyard, and he's barking, and he's going crazy, and you look out in your backyard, and you're like, shut up, Fido, why are you barking?

And then you go back inside and just live your life.

Little did you know, the boogeyman, the alien, the disaster was coming, and that was why the dog was barking i'm that dog you got to get rid of cody parkey right now cody parkey will fuck you in the face if the browns make the playoffs there is no sure bet in the entire world than cody parkey doing this to the browns i said it when, when Cody Parkey double doinked,

you can go back and listen to the show we did on that Friday. And I was like,

I'm nervous about Cody Parkey.

I think he's going to fuck us.

Cause he did it all year.

He's doing it again all year.

Cody Parkey will miss a big kick in a playoff game for the Browns.

And the Browns will have no one to blame but themselves because everyone has

alerted you.

Everyone has been that dog saying,

stop, stop, stop, get rid of them. anyone else do the vrabel and don't kick yeah just do anything but have cody parky kick in a big moment spin zone though for you it would be better if cody parky got in the game well now what if cody parky gets in hits three uprights i want and then everyone forgets the double doink goes, Good Morning America, Today Show.
There's a car wash. Maybe he goes on Maury.
PFT, there's nothing I'm rooting for more. Sorry, Browns.
So just retract that entire last part. Well, no, I'm rooting for that.
If you're a Browns fan. I'm rooting for that, but I don't think I can be blamed if it happens because I warned you.
Okay. So I gave you the warning.
I told you it was going to happen, and if it happens, I'll be the happiest man in the world because then everyone will talk about that and not the double doink. But I told you that this was coming and that you better be ready for it and the Browns are just going head first into a disaster and they have no one to blame but themselves.
And then there was the ending of the game, the safety that they took to end the game. Jarvis Landry took it.
They need to figure out a way to run that play more efficiently because most teams, when they try to run the toss-back play at the end of a game, they just keep going backwards and backwards. The trick is you've got to find a seam, cut, and then have some guy that's always behind you that you throw back to, and that's how you open up the game a little bit.
Oh, yeah, very easy to do. No, it's impossible to run, but they just catch the ball and then run backwards and then try to keep throwing it backwards.
They just kind of give up. Yeah, maybe at some point you can just punt the ball.
Can you punt the ball on that? You can't punt the ball on that. You should try.
It was, so I had the Ravens minus three. I was very, very happy.
I don't think it's considered, like, the worst beat ever if you had the Browns only because you went from a push to a loss. You have to go from a win to a loss for it to be true.
It's bad. It's horrific.
You thought you were getting away with a push. Don't get me wrong.
It's bad. But, like, worst beat ever category has to be that you're winning the bet and then all of a sudden you're losing it, not push.
Because, like, I was ecstatic. I was very, very happy.
That was lucky for me. Extremely lucky.
The gambling gods will be coming for my ass. But I also, like, push to a win, push to a loss.
It feels different than when it shifts all the way. And depending on how much money you had on it, if you had, like, a unit on it, it's not even that bad because that's a story that you can tell.
Right. Like, you were on the receiving end of that play.
I'd rather lose on that play than be like, oh man, I can't believe I had the under

in Raiders-Colts.

Man, that was a shitty...

Who cares about that? It's a normal game.

This is a great story.

I took the Browns to cover

on that Monday Night Football game

where Lamar Jackson spent half the time

getting rid of the Chipotle that was in his anus.

Yep. Pooping himself.

Alright, we have Tracer Xurley on.

What do you say?

One thing about the game. What are we forgetting? What? What one thing? Scorigami.
Yes. Scorigami.
Gotta give love to the nerds. So happy for you, Jake.
Jake loves Scorigami. I was so happy for you.
You were the real winner. What did the New York Times Scorigami bot say the percentages of Scorigami happening would be? I don't know, but this was the 1,061st unique unique score there is something so unique and thrilling about the uh post like after the zeros safety or touchdown where that moment where you're like are they going to count it because they they actually had that moment where they didn't put it up on the scoreboard and levy said 45 to 42 first yeah we all were like wait they had because party thinks like they could just walk off and just just let it just go and be 45 42 and that was that's a heart-stopping moment unbelievable moment um and if you missed the whole game well here's the recap lamar jackson proved why he was named mvp of the league last year he came out of the locker room injured, went on a game-winning drive, and put his team in a position to win.
Justin Tucker hit the field goal to seal the win. That's Magic Johnson's recap.
Okay, good recap. Thank you, Magic.
Magic is parodying himself now. He's a blogger now.
He logs in and he writes a blog about what happened last night in sports. Justin Tucker hit the field goal to steal the win is the most boring way to describe an awesome play.

By the way, I call bullshit on 1,061 different scores.

How is that possible?

How is that possible?

There aren't that many numbers.

Just follow the score going on the account.

There aren't that many numbers, Jake.

He just shunned you there.

What were you going to say, Billy?

You know math?

Bill, we're being positive vibes for Billy.

It is 5 p.m. No.
You'll understand that later on in the show. Possible scores that have happened.
Yes, and I'm aware of how it works. Be nice, PFT.
I'm just saying my brain says, okay, teams can score in between one and 100 points on one side and then 1 and 100 points on another.

Correct. That should only be 200 different

scores. And really, it's only like

15 scores. It's like 14, 10,

20, 24.

They're not football numbers, so

I dispute those facts. Yeah, that

actually is totally made up.

What if Scory Gami was a fraud this whole time?

Like, who would actually check it?

No one. I'd be hurt, but

I'd move on. You would be bummed.
You live in a house

of cards, house of lies. Oh, we've

Thank you. What if Scorigami was a fraud this whole time? Like, who would actually check it? No one.
I would be hurt, but I would move on. You would live in a house of cards, house of lies.
We've discussed this offline, off the show, but it is kind of participation trophy culture that some sportsbooks are giving money to people that won't last their bets. I hate that.
Participation trophy culture. Yeah, no, no, no.
Barstool Sportsbook will not do that. I've actually had that conversation with Dave.
Because then that's because then it's just every time you lose you're like where's my free money no you want the scars the scars are what make it's fun being able to say that you lost that bet makes it fun not like oh i lost that bet but also i got free money back come on come on it's all just for what a revel tweet by the wayvel pretending like he's not going to hedge his bet of Ohio State minus 20.

It's like, bro, you have to put down like $100,000.

Whatever.

I'm not even going to get mad.

Not going to get mad.

Haven't thought about this.

Not going to get mad.

Okay.

Giannis.

Giannis got paid.

Back.

Five years.

$226 million? Yes. $228.
$228.2. Who's counting? 228.2.
I think this is actually great for the league. Ooh, you're a great-for-the-league guy.
Oh, yeah. I like it.
Absolutely. You can't win these arguments because Twitter is just so knee-jerk, but if you have ever criticized hyperte and then you criticize Giannis for staying in Milwaukee.
Hyper teams. Super teams.
I was thinking of hyper drive. Super teams, and then you criticize Giannis for staying in Milwaukee, you're a hypocrite.
That's why I said hyper because I was getting a hypocrite. Yeah, I think it's great for Milwaukee.
Yeah. If I'm a Bucs fan, obviously I'm going to be pumped about this.
But is... And I don't think that Giannis is the type of guy that will pull a James Harden like three years from now.
Oh, I think he might. Three years from now, if they're not winning, you think he's just going to be like, I'm leaving.
Yeah, because you take the money and then you worry about the rest of it. A couple first-round exits.
Yes. He's gone.
Yes. That will change a man.
I think Giannis is happy in Milwaukee. I think we need to applaud players like Giannis.
No, I am. I'm applauding him, but let's just be realistic here.
He still has an out because it's the NBA, and any player can say, I want out at any time. But him taking the money is good for Milwaukee right now.
It's good for Giannis. It's a win-win in that respect.
It's a win for the league because you have a little bit more parity. You have the small market teams.
Like, teams drafting a superstar and being able to hold on to him is important for the league. I really believe that.
But with all that said, if they get bounced like four years in a row, he'll be like, yeah, I'm out. What do you think Giannis is going to buy? And we know his name's Giannis, but we call him Giannis.
What do you think he's going to buy with all that money? That seems like a shitload of money for a guy. Like, he just got introduced to smoothies two years ago.
Yeah, the problem is he lives in Milwaukee, so he'd go to Cruise and Chubby's a lot. He could buy Cruise and Chubby's.
He'd go to the Dales, right? Yeah, he can go to the Dales. The Dales.
The Dales, I like the Dales. Yeah, the Dells.
He could eat a shitload of Bubba Burgers.

Yeah.

A lot of Bloody Marys.

He could probably buy the entire pack, all the shares, right?

Yeah.

Just go collect them from every basement in Wisconsin.

He could invent a new Bloody Mary at Sobelman's that has a euro in it.

Mm-hmm.

You know what he should do?

Just turn like...

Culver's?

Just buy a shitload of Culver's? The entire coast of milwaukee turn it into the mediterranean just by like 50 yachts and a new sun yeah it just sits on top of it yeah build a sun build a sun pay for the the brightest light bulb to ever be invented yes i do i do uh appreciate twitter being like i if i were in the nba i would play for like $5 million just and get rings. And the idea that Giannis, I think he could have made $180-ish if he had went somewhere else.
Instead, he's making $228, being like, dude, what do you need that extra $50 million for? It's like, well, that's a lot of money. And that's like, this is a guy who went from nothing to having wealth for his family for generations that's pretty fucking cool he also strikes me as a guy that appreciates the fact that the bucks they they didn't you know he wasn't the first overall pick they invested time into him and they like they worked with him because they saw something in his future, tried to develop into a great player.

And obviously, like, he was probably –

Giannis was probably going to become a great player anyways.

But I feel like he's got a little bit of loyalty to the team

because they went through that time together where he wasn't a superstar.

Yep.

And so, yeah, it's good.

I was going to say it's good for Milwaukee,

but I like you being a good-for-the-league guy.

Yeah, no, it's good for the league.

I truly do believe that because you don't want – I mean, we don't want four teams to have all the best players. You also – it is nice to have small-market teams compete because otherwise it just becomes like, okay, the Heat and the Lakers and the Knicks and the Nets are going to play every single year.
I don't know. It's good for the league.
I'm in for it. I'm in for it.
Me too. And happy for Giannis, happy for Milwaukee.
I mean, I don't like the Bucs, but I'm happy for it. I know fans.
I'm friends with fans of the Bucs, and they have been stressed for a long time about this. They have been dealing with the jokes, with the conversations.
We've said this before, but the idea that the NBA has become a league where you talk more about the offseason than the real season, where it's not Giannis is about to win an MVP, it's where is Giannis going to go. That sucks if you're a Bucs fan.
So to have that pressure kind of released for a little bit is probably nice. I'm just glad that we don't have to endure eight months of teams putting up these weird transactions, like fans of teams going to the trade machine and being like, who says no to this? Like shipping the entire Phoenix Suns and doing working out the sign-in trade match with all these weird contracts.
I'm just excited we don't have to deal with any of that. So yeah, he's going to stay in Milwaukee and he's going to lose to the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Yeah, and they'll start basically letting him shoot threes in the playoffs and blocking him from going to the rim, and the Bucs will get bounced. I like this.
Their general manager, John Horst, said, This is our Super Bowl. We work every day of every year to have great processes and decision-making filters.
We go through them, and there's confidence in that. So this is their Super Bowl.
Congratulations to the Milwaukee Bucks for winning the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl.
And just one last note, just a reminder that every single team scouted Giannis except the Knicks. They're the only team that didn't go to Greece.
It's so fucking funny. All right, let's do hot seat, cool throw, got trace mcsorley and the maryland former maryland uh social media manager talking some funny anecdotes about tweeting blowout scores before we get to hot seat cool throne i used to think that sandwiches were just you know basic until i realized how easy it is to level them way up it's all about starting with the best ingredients ingredients.
Lately, I've been obsessed with this sandwich. Boar's Head Ever-Roast Chicken, a little smoked gouda, arugula, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze on toasted ciabatta.
Just a few simple swaps, and suddenly it feels like something that I'd order at a fancy cafe. And that's why I always go for Boar's Head.
The quality, the craftsmanship, the fresh premium flavors that turn an everyday sandwich into something next level. So if you're tired of the same old lunch, try upgrading with Boar's Head.
Head to the deli counter, grab your favorites, and see just how easy it is to make every bite amazing. Discover the craftsmanship behind every bite at your local Boar's Head deli counter.
Hank, Hot seat, cool throne. My hot seat is LeVar Ball.

What happened?

LiAngelo got cut.

No.

One day in.

He stole all the headlines.

Oh, wow.

All the headlines were LiAngelo Ball and two other players.

Disrespectful.

That sucks.

Wait, who else?

Anthony Lamb on the Pistons.

He's one of the two players that's not respecting the countermouse.

He'll find his way back.

Really?

Yeah. I don't think so.
For sure. LeVar called the Pistons a raggedy as hell franchise.
So, you know, he had his week where he had all three sons in the NBA. So I guess he can say he's a man of his word.
He was proven correct. Yeah.
And I mean, to be able to call that shot and actually have it work out, I gained respect for LeVar Ball this offseason. How can you not? The odds of that happening are very, very, very, very low, and he called it, and it happened.
Making fun of him getting cut is a little baller move. Big time little baller energy.
My cool throne is Coach K. So he's been getting a lot of heat on these airwaves especially, and it's all over the world.
Deserve it. But the coach that came out and criticized him, the Alabama coach, he apologized.
Jeff Capel, who's just another coach. Coach K probably tried to have him killed.
Who's just a Pittsburgh coach. So just a coach in another conference.
That doesn't matter. Breaking moves.
It's not Jake's trying to break insignificant moves. Duke star freshman Jalen Johnson out indefinitely with a foot injury, according to John Rothstein nine seconds ago.

That has nothing to do with my cool drone.

Nice little let's get all our best guys injured so we'll be like,

well, we dealt with injuries. Yeah, maybe Coach K should have changed his shoe contracts after Zion.

You know who hasn't complained?

And their team sucks?

Cal.

Kentucky is terrible.

Coach K has not complained.

Cal has not complained.

Neither has Coach K.

Yes, he has.

He just cares about the safety of his players.

He wants to cancel the season.

Jeff Capel, who's just another coach.

Bag man.

No, it's just another coach in the league. Where did he go to school? Showing respect for the coach.
I don't know. He said, for me, I got really upset by it because how much I care about him.
The one coach in particular that made a comment, it was interesting because I know exactly what Coach did for him. I know it because I was the one that helped facilitate it.
It's disappointing. He helped facilitate what? Him getting a job.
No, that's classic. So he got a job.
Coach K got this guy a job as an assistant for Hurley at Buffalo. Yep.
And then this guy came in and tried to talk shit about Coach K. He apologized.
Yep. That is Jeff Capel.
Coach K was proven right once again. Very clearly giving a wink and a nod.
Yep. It'd be a real shame if all the secrets about this guy were to come out.
A real shame. He threatened him.
He threatened Nate Oates in public. Yeah.
He was like, I know where Nate Oates came from. I know how he got his job.
God forbid someone started talking about the things that are in Nate Oates' closet. That's Donald Trump saying, be careful, Ted Cruz.
I will spill the beans about your wife. And your dad killing JFK.
He said, put some respect on Coach K's name, and that's exactly what he did. So Coach K is back.
And also, Jeff Capel, translation, I still would love to have the Duke job after I'm done at Pitt. Oh, a million percent.
This is him making sure that he's in line for this. Hey, Coach, I still love you.
Let me kiss that ass. Real shame if Oates were to find a horse head in his bed.
Is that it, Hank? Coach K is threatening people with lies. That's the Coach K standing marathon presented by Henry Lockwood.
No, I'm just trying to defend one of the greatest coaches of all time on the number one sports podcast. He deserves that respect.
My hot seat is all the haters of Roger Goodell. All the haters that think that Roger Goodell is a bad human being who doesn't do the right thing.

He doesn't.

All the time.

Because I think that we should say thank you. I think we should be appreciative of Roger Goodell for saving lives, probably thousands of lives.

Doubtful.

By not having NFL employees skip the line to get the coronavirus vaccinations first.

I don't know if you've noticed this, but it was mentioned like five times over the weekend. It was on ESPN a couple times.
It was on Monday Night Football. The announcer is saying Goodell has made the announcement that he will not have his employees go to the front of the line as essential service workers to get the coronavirus.
We've got it figured out that we're just pretend it doesn't exist. We're good.
So thank you to Roger Goodell. No, I just think that it's funny that he had to issue a release saying we're not going to take spots in the vaccination line away from people that need the disease, even though we are the NFL and we're more important than everybody else in the world.
Is it crazy that I actually... So people are going to get mad if the NBA or the NH nhl cuts the line right obviously they'll get mad yeah but i actually don't think that that's that bad like hospital workers 100 need it first bills fans every bill's fans and hospital workers need first but if your goal is to get people to sit inside and not go out like being like let's make sure sports happen

it's kind of a decent way to do it right so like the back-end admin at at pornhub that guy should

get it too yeah i do think if you want to think about it's actually on the hot seat i forgot about

that yeah it's criminal well i meant actually huge is they're trying to save against criminals

hank oh wait you're saying they're on the hot seat because they deleted all that porn yeah hank Hank doesn't know why they deleted it. Yeah, he doesn't at all.
So you want to take that back before we tell you? No. Okay.
Okay. So it's like human trafficking.
Yeah. Revenge porn.
Recording people who are like under the influence. Are under certain ages.
They basically let anybody upload anything. Right.
So do you want to take that back? And then you have much verification.

Bagwell.

So there's federal crimes that were on there that got deleted.

I suppose the OnlyFans, which like actually takes a long time to get an account.

We know that.

Where they verify.

Hank's still mulling it over.

Yeah.

He still might be.

Think about it.

He's still kind of into that.

No.

This is why I only watch MILF stuff.

I guess.

If you only watch MILF stuff, then you're never going to be putting yourself in danger accidentally of doing the wrong thing. My cool throne is outside beers, outdoor beers.
It's outdoor beer season. It's about to – what? What's that? It's cold out.
If you'll let me finish, Hank, when it's snowing outside, when it's cold outside, you don't have to take up space in your refrigerator. You leave the beers outside.
It's God's refrigerator. You crack open a beer directly from your porch, and it tastes colder than it does in the fridge.
So it's the best season of all, especially if there's snow, and you can bury them halfway, and you can see where they fell into the snow. So even though it snowed a little bit more on top of the beers, go outside you see the indentation and you know exactly where to reach in to grab a cold one those are the best beers in the world that's a great call yeah thanks oh there you go all right my hot seats is holy shit uh fsu florida state put up a banner uh i saw that put this up was that real fsu hung hung a 2020 canceled with the number four final ranking banner.

The Colts are now off the hook.

Yeah.

The Colts are off the hook.

Cool thrown Colts.

Wow.

I thought that was fake.

Wait.

I thought that was fake.

No, it's in the video.

Jesus Christ.

Come on, FSU.

Have some pride. Have some pride.
All right. all right my hot seats is oh he deleted it did you see ray lewis last night so ray lewis last night lebron was like look at these browns here they come ray lewis quote to him and said be careful to lebron oh god and everyone roasted him I guess he deleted it, but my hot seat is LeBron

because to Ray Lewis, be

careful. Jesus.
Can you imagine

how stupid is Ray Lewis?

Him and OJ are the guys

I'd least like to

get quote tweeted by. Be careful.

That's all he said to LeBron.

You know what would be more scary than that? If it was just

the eyeballs. Yeah.
And the

knife. Knife emoji.
Yeah. That would be pretty scary.
But, yeah, Ray Lewis, be careful. All right.
Then my cool throne is us. We're on the cool throne.
Sweet. Because we have been protected by our good, great intern and friend, Billy Football.
He protects us. What? You protect us.
Thank you, Billy. Last night we were texting the PMT text chain was popping off, and I asked Billy a question.
He screenshotted it and sent it back to us, and we noticed that all of our names were saved as female names. What was mine? Daniela Canis? Daniela Canis.
Well, you'll have to change them. Hank was Henrietta.
You were Lori Levy. I was Lori Lauren Levi.
Lauren Levi. What was Jake and Liam? So Hank's Henrietta Lockwood.
Keystone because Lock Key. Okay.
Nice. I never would have cracked that code yet.
Everyone just pause for a second. This is inside the mind of a genius.

And then Lauren Levi's Marlins woman.

Okay, what about me, Daniel?

And then Daniela Canis is Daniela Canis.

Canis.

Latin name for dog.

Yeah.

Got it.

Wide dog.

Yeah.

And then what about Jake and Liam?

I think I just have them as their names.

All right, so.

You also have the group name as. Yeah, well, that was the thing.
So I was appreciative that you're protecting us. Because essentially you're saying if your phone gets stolen, you don't want people calling us.
Right. But Hank did point out right away, the group name that all these names are in is PMT Full Group.
Right, but I didn't create that. Yeah, to be fair, that's what it is on your phone too.
Right. My phone.
But if someone

took his phone, they would be able to figure

the CPMT full group. This was more for

when I was in college and like

in the real world. Well, that's because, yeah, remember

when we gave you our phone numbers and like

it took you like three weeks of college to FaceTime

us all at two in the morning? That was one

time. And it didn't actually

happen. Or when you tweeted out my phone number.
Oh, it happened.

I didn't FaceTime any of you. You FaceTime me at two in the morning your first week of college fact anyway but i do appreciate it billy very billy cyber secure yes i appreciated that i thought it was very cool of you so thank you cool throne us i think you need to add that slide to your cyber security powerpoint yeah I just imagined some hacker being like PMT full group and then being like Danielle Canis.
No, that can't be. Who is Henrietta? Yeah.
This is some other. This is some group of chicks.
All right. Billy.
Hot seat. Obviously.
Conor McGregor. Why? Jake Paul called him out.

Said some really mean things about him and Dana White.

And, yeah, so Jake Paul, like, calling people out, doing drive-bys on people.

Toilet paper, drive-by.

Toilet paper, drive-by.

He threw a head of lettuce at somebody.

He threw, like, water balloons.

Yeah, yeah.

Anyway, everyone's mad at him.

Nate Diaz threatened

Jake Paul. Sort of all

just out in the open, getting crazy.

Jake Paul called

Carmen Greger's wife a four.

Which is fucked up.

Especially if she's actually a four.

I don't know what she looks like.

She's very

beautiful.

How would you not want to fight somebody?

I do. Okay.

So what are you going to do?

I don't know Would you fight Conor McGregor He's pretty big No Conor McGregor would beat the shit out of him Well you have to be ready to fight the guy that your guy is going to fight So you can We're going to figure it out I have an idea Basically we need to get in contact with Dana White and Rob Gronkowski. Okay.
All of Billy's ideas are like, how can I leverage PFT and Big Cat's phone book? Billy's like the MacGyver of bros. In order to make something happen.
Okay, I need Keg of Milwaukee's best and Dana White and Gronk's phone numbers. If we get a Kelsey brother, that would be great too.
If we get all these celebrities he's challenging just to be like, yo dude, shut up and fight Billy. Don't fuck with him.
I don't know why to get him to shut up. It would kind of be like the Kent State you shit yourself at a frat party.
You can't say gun girl. So we need to make up a rumor about Jake Paul.
He's scared to fight me. He is scared to fight you.
That's what I heard. No, I heard that.
That's not a rumor. That's a fact.
Yeah. He texted...
He texted... He texted Billy and was like, I'm scared to fight you.
Anyway. I'll tweet it right now.
Is it true that Jake Paul's scared to fight Billy? Anyway, one step closer to me beating his ass because he's a fraud. My cool throne is being stubborn.
There's a treasure hunter who's been imprisoned for going on five years because he found a bunch of treasure and will not give up its location. What's the crime? I don't know.
I think it's because it belongs to technically the government. That's bullshit.
If it's treasure, it's yours. Finders keepers.
But I don't think that's practical law. It should be.
If something is lost for longer than a week, whoever finds it should own it. So he is going to be spending it for a decade.
He took on a case for 161 investors. So basically, he was paid to go find the treasure, found the treasure, and it was probably under the stipulation that he would give them the treasure, and he's just not telling them where the treasure is, and he's trying to keep it for himself.
Oh, this sounds like a kick-ass sequel to that Nicolas Cage. I like that.
Yeah. I like that a lot.
What's that movie? What's that movie I just saw like a month ago? Sahara. No.
No. National Treasure.
Yeah, National Treasure. There's already a great sequel for that.
Yeah, which I need to watch. Steal the Declaration of Independence.
Jake, do you have any? Always. Yeah.
Hot Seat, Periscope. It's being discontinued in March.
What? Do they have a porn issue too? Why? I don't know. I don't know.
Twitter made the decision to to Oh, it's just Twitter Live? Yeah, it's going to be Twitter Live. So, great memories of the Cat Cave Derby.
Twitter does... They choose the wrong thing to do and do it more than any company that's ever existed.
This one, though, I kind of understand because what... Maybe not Dow Chemical.
Periscope doesn't... Twitter should just have Periscope.
Yes. And they should have Vine.
Twitter looks at their product. Jack, fucking Jack, goes on his billionaire retreats once every six months and just, like, waterboards himself with cat piss for six weeks.
And then he comes back with the worst ideas ever to get rid of their best stuff and then add new stuff no one cares about um cool throne nickelodeon we've been teasing the game yes all season long but they gave out some details today shout out to my friend noah he'll be calling it um the spongebob yeah he's calling the game noah eagle eagle he's calling it yeah on nickelodeon Damn. Yeah.
It's like I'm partnering with CBS. Nice.
With Nate Burleson. Big ups.

Yeah. On Nickelodeon? Damn.
Yeah. It's like I'm partnering with CBS.
Damn. Nice.
Big ups. With Nate Burleson.
Big ups. Yeah.
Also, shout out Bob Diacchio for seeing the future. So we need slime.
He said this. There's going to be SpongeBob in the uprights because D'Ello.
Yeah. It's going to be a fun broadcast.
I wish that this was the only way you could watch it. I don't like that you have an opt-out version.
Jim Nance is doing the game too on CBS. Yeah, they should go all in and make everybody, make every adult watch the Nickelodeon version.
Yeah, it'll be fun. They should do Color Rush where it's the, was it the red iguanas and the blue barracudas as the games? Yep.
That'd be sick. I really do hope this is the start of everything that Bob Diacacchio like thought was going to happen starts to happen he's the prophet so we have the civil conflict ucf finally recognizes civil conflict he said i think it was four or five years ago uh i got all kinds of ideas on networks networks let's target six-year-olds to 16 year olds how about that eventually they're going to be 18 35.
Let's broadcast our games on Nickelodeon. Who owns that? Viacom? Let's create some real intrigue.
He said that. He's a fucking genius.
He needs to be treated like that. They're having the Spongebob Sports Pants Countdown Special, and the halftime show will serve as a preview of upcoming Spongebob spinoff show.
I can't wait. I'm be fun.
I'll be watching that broadcast. Apple too.
Yeah. Half two.
I mean, it has to be the worst matchup, right? I would assume. Yeah, they're going to find a way to get the Texans in that.
It could be the NFC Beast game. Oh, that'd be nice.
Oh, yeah. It could be your team.
I would watch that. I would watch, yeah, the Washington football team.
Well, they're putting Jim Nance on the same game. Probably gets the Cardinals or something.
It could be. I don't know.
Regardless of the playoff game. It's not going to be the Bears.
Bears football team. We already figured that out.
No, there is a possibility. It's a very, very, very outside possibility.
There's no possibility. No, it's very, very outside.
It can happen. How? You give me 30 minutes on the playoff machine.
Go ahead. I'll come back to you.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
Find it. I'm going to find it.
Find it. I can't do it live.
Do it live. Do you guys watch watch Double Dare Legends of the Hidden Temple oh we had what's his name on Michael Malley over the summer guts yes yes alright well cut us looking it up but I'm pretty sure it's impossible imagine if they had Spongebob narrating the game from last night the poop what.
What would it sound like? Do it. Ah! The market.
All right. Let's go to, we'll keep working on it, but we'll figure it out.
We'll tell you the start of Friday's show if it's possible. Here is Trace McSorley.
Before we get to Trace McSorley, I want to talk to you about our great friends. We're going to get right back to the show.
Introducing Instagram teen accounts. A new way to keep your teen safer as they grow.
Like making sure they always have their seatbelt on. All right, sweetie pie, buckle up.
Good job. Or ring the bell on their bike.
Okay, kid, give it a try. Nice.
Or remember their elbow pads. Knees too, okay?

Yep.

There you go.

New Instagram teen accounts.

Automatic protections for who can contact your teen and the content they can see.

All right, back to part of my take.

And now, Trace McSorley.

Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is Trace McSorley, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.
Coming off Monday Night Football, it was perfect timing. First, let's figure out how was your knee? Are you okay? Yeah, no, I'm doing well.
We'll figure out kind of the extent of everything, but so far everything's looking pretty positive, so we're going to keep our fingers crossed. So that was a crazy Monday Night Football game.
It felt bad for you because you did make a big play to even have the Ravens still alive there. And then you obviously don't know how it plays out on TV, but it was literally Trace McSorley hurts his knee.
He's down. Oh, but Lamar's back.
See you, Tr back see a trace yeah people kind of just moved on was how was the was the field as bad as like they were making it out to be um I mean guys are definitely slipping uh last night I mean I know there were a couple times Lamar slipped a little bit I think he even changed his cleats at one point um and we got into halftime there were you know they had different cleats for guys in there uh so I think you think guys were slipping around, but it kind of is what it is a little bit. How much different is it as a quarterback to have to wear the studs, the long ones? Because the announcers were saying how no quarterback wants to be forced to change out of their normal cleats because they'll make your feet hurt or something like that at the end of the game.
For you personally, is it like a big deal to change out of their out of their shoes yeah you like just having like you know the the cleats that you have they're like broken in and then trying to break in a new pair mid-game like you you could bother your feet a little bit so like i left the ones on that i had um so maybe i maybe i should have changed them out just for the other cleats but um yeah i think it's just kind of like personal preference really like if you don't mind breaking in a new pair of cleats in the game, then you probably will switch it. I think it's just each guy has his own different preference.
All right, so you're in the trust tree. Are you wearing a part of my take hoodie? Can I see that? Yeah.
Part of the social distancing club. Oh, there we go.
Social distancing club. Perfect.
All right, so you're in the trust tree. You can speak freely.
Tell us the truth. Lamar was pooping.
No, he wasn't. It was cramps you he wasn't pooping that well cramps part yeah of the body was the intestine yeah it was like he said it was like his forearm was cramping and then his he that run that everyone saw where it looked like a poop run yeah locker room it was like his calf or something was cramping so he's trying not to like that lock up on him uh-huh great you're a great backup quarterback that's a great teammate move that's smart you trace just winked at us so you know the truth yep he's doing a motion like a wiping his butt motion so he's clear that yep okay we got it so stop talking i'll ask hilarious though like after the coming out, like the internet, they're all over that.

That was so funny.

I don't know what it says about us just as a society

or as an online group of people that everybody just assumed,

like Lamar was back there just crapping his brains out,

and that's what was happening.

But we all just kind of ran with it.

Let me ask this in a different way.

When you went back to the locker room after your knee got tweaked a little bit,

how many candles were lit in the locker room? A breeze, maybe. What did the locker room smell like? See, they do always have candles lit behind the stalls.
So I can't tell if there were newly lit ones, but they do always got candles lit by the stalls in the locker room. Interesting.
So last night's game was so, so much fun. It was probably game of the year in the NFL.
And it was also one of those great nights where Twitter was going crazy. Everyone's having fun.
When you get back after a game like that, maybe a little different cause you got hurt last night, but you've been in crazy games. Do you like sit down and take 10 minutes to try to catch up on everything and be like, shit i missed a lot of commentary about this game uh yeah there's a little bit of that like you know you get get back you like get back on the bus and you kind of have that time to decompress a little bit check out your phone see what's been going on uh scroll through twitter instagram and you know catch up on messages so i mean to be able to see like the internet's response to last night game uh you obviously said it was a crazy game just back and forth just great football game on monday night in general but then seeing you know the the internet's responses to it it's it's pretty cool to be able to do that and you know just kind of see what the internet has to say what uh so backup quarterback uh like you've been in a couple games now how what's it like on the sideline being like I might be in any minute do you have is it hard to stay ready during a game like how do you mentally stay in the game knowing there's probably a good chance you're not going to play but you could like last night be thrown into it Monday Night Football game national television yeah uh I mean part of it is just you know trying to stay mentally locked in so like we got the earpiece get the call from like the you know know what play we're running from our oc and then trying to do like a mental rep every time as best you can just so you know you're staying locked in and staying ready um but yeah it does get a little bit a little bit difficult at times and then try just really just trying to stay warm especially on like a night like last night it's cold out there just trying to stay heated up and loose and ready whenever and then I always trying to stay warm, especially on like a night like last night.
It's cold out there, just trying to stay heated up and loose and ready whenever. And then I always like to keep like a smelling salt with me, just kind of if I need to be ready to go, just hit that and then lock in real quick.
I love it. So now you are wearing that backup headset, so you get to hear all the plays coming in.
You get to hear, I would assume, Greg Roman and harbaugh talking about what to do in certain situations how often do they try to call a punt and then lamar runs over the sideline and it's like hey we're not punting please send me back out there um i mean i don't see i don't hear the conversations between them because all i hear is like the player to coach so whatever he's saying to lamar i could hear that but i mean i think anytime we go out there Lamar wants to go score a touchdown um so if it's a you know short yardage situation fourth and short and we're fringe field goal punt range Lamar's gonna try his best to not let me go for this and go get a touchdown or at least get us closer for the field goal so I think that's just his personality. And maybe it's happened a few other times,

and they've gotten on camera where he's been able to kind of sway a decision

to let us go for it.

But, you know, Harbaugh likes to be aggressive,

and you got a guy like Lamar, you trust him to make the play,

and more often than not, it's worked out for us.

So in the offseason they bring in, it's you, RG3, and Lamar.

I think it's probably fair to say that, like,

Lamar and RG3 have a skill set that is rare in the NFL. They will be able to run the same offense.
And then you are a new guy. They bring you in.
Was Greg Roman like, hey, we're going to have you learn the exact same offense that these other guys are learning? Or is there a trace package that when you come into the game, it's like, hey, this is what we're going to do? No, hey, a, Hey, this is our offense. Uh, this is what we do.
And, uh, being able to that, you know, I might not be the same skillset as them, you know, athletically what they can do, but I can still run around, just still do some stuff with my legs and kind of be a threat to defense. So, uh, you know, we got our offense and you know, we, that is what it is.
So it doesn't, and I think that's a good thing that we got so that we don't have to change our entire offense based on a situation where some guy has to go in uh because the guy's got cramps and we're able to go in and not change up our entire offense we just run the same system yeah you ran a four five seven forty and at the combine did you get asked to work out with the dbs yeah they did ask me to work out with them that's disrespectful what did you when they said that did you were you were like no I'm a quarterback uh yeah they like kind of pulled me aside and they were like

hey you know some coaches scouts want to see you as a db uh would you mind staying after and you

know doing some db drills and I told them that you know I've I've been working out as a quarterback

and that's what I'm here to do is just be a quarterback and kind of just told them I appreciate

it but uh I'm gonna be a quarterback I like that I like that um how much of your success

Let's go. to do is just be a quarterback and kind of just told them I appreciate it but I'm gonna be a quarterback I like that I like that how much of your success do you put into your parents having

the wherewithal to give you the name Trace the nickname Trace even though your given name is

Richard because the story is your parents were like we don't want you to be little Ricky or

Richard or Ricky and they saw Trace Armstrong on TV and we're like we're gonna name you Trace

Thank you. is your parents were like we don't want you to be little ricky or richard or ricky and they saw trace armstrong on tv and we're like we're going to name you trace so that i mean that i do think i'm a big name guy i think that has a lot to do with it have you had that moment where you're like if i were ricky mcsorley i'd probably not be in the nfl yeah i mean i think it definitely set me on a path uh you know i think being that trace Armstrong, great football player.
And that's kind of where my parents got the name. I think it just set me on a path towards football.
And then, you know, you know, Ricky Missorelli, Trace McSorill, I think Trace McSorill's got a little bit of better ring to it as a player. So I think that, yeah, you could probably give a little bit of credit to just the fact they picked my name and set me on the path towards, towards yeah trace mcsorley is a great name now what about uh the fact that you your name keeps going viral on tiktok like you are a tiktok thing billy was explaining to us our intern uh he was like do you guys know who trace mcsorley is everybody's talking about him tiktok and we're like yes billy we know who trace mcsorley is no it actually we've watched college football before it was worse that Billy was like you didn't know who Trace McSorley was till I brought him up I was like dude yeah I'm a Wisconsin fan you ripped my heart out in the 2016 Rose Bowl we were at that game that's not true that is Billy thought he introduced that's not true us so so how much of uh Trace I've known about you since 2016 when you uh I can't name the game right now because I up, but never mind.
Billy's known about you since 2016. He wants to clarify.
Thank you, Billy. But when you first started blowing up on TikTok, was it weird for you initially? Were you like, why is this becoming such a thing? Yeah, I didn't know what was going on.
So I just got a TikTok profile and downloaded the app not long, like a week ago. So I hadn't had it.
I woke up one morning and, like, all these people were sending me this video that this kid made with, like, the song that the dude made when I was in college. And, I mean, it just kind of blew up.
And I started seeing it on, like, Instagram, Twitter. Like, it was all over the place.
I didn't know what was going on. So, I mean, it was just – it was really weird and random how it kind of all came about.
How does it go, Billy? Throw it on a dime. Throw it on a dime, that's it? Just a kid from Bradwood.
Can you say the whole thing? It's a really good song. It is? Matty Fresh? Can you say it, Trace? I've heard it a bunch of times.
I'm not a singer, though. Billy, tell him how it goes.
Billy, sing it to's got it. So I have a question.
He just asked you to sing it. I was just wondering, did you know about the song by Matty Fresh or this random guy makes a song? Was it just out of left field, or did you know about it while you were playing at Penn State? Yeah, I knew about it.
They made it like my senior year, going into my senior year.

So I was able to like, they played it. I don't think they ever played at the stadium, but like I saw it on like social media and like, I think the Penn State football, like their social media kind of picked it up a little bit going into my senior year.
So I definitely saw it. I knew about it beforehand.
How electric is a whiteout in Happy Valley? Because that is one of the, like when when you think about loud crowds, you think about Saturday Night Football, like LSU, Penn State, maybe Columbus. Like, there are certain stadiums where you're like, it's just on a different level.
Is it, like, was it truly a different level? Could you feel how different it was compared to every other stadium you've been in? Yeah, you definitely could. Like, it was a completely different feel from, like, walking into – like, even, like, walking into the big house in Michigan, that, like, they got the biggest – like, the highest seating capacity.
But, like, it's not the same, like, electric-type energy that you have, like, with the wideout. And, like, I've played in a few other stadiums, like Columbus.
Iowa was another one that was pretty electric playing there. But I still think obviously I'm biased because I went to Penn State and everything, but I still think that and from everyone I've talked to, they said that the wideout's the best atmosphere that they've ever been in.
It's one of those things that you have to go to it to actually experience it. It looks awesome and sick on TV, but it's better in person can only imagine.
Yeah. So, you were growing up in Ashburn.
Were you an R-Words fan growing up? Were you a Washington football team fan? I was. I was.
I mean, you ran into a lot of guys that, you know, I live 50 minutes from the facility. So, like, there would just be a lot of guys around, and I would see them kind of around town.
So I went to, like, their training camp practices every year as a kid. So I was a Washington football team fan growing up.
Yeah. And then so you – Kind of tough, though.
Yeah, you ended up going to Penn State. You went to Vanderbilt, or you committed to Vanderbilt for a while.
Who else recruited you out of high school? So out of high school, most teams recruit me as like a safety defensive back out of high school. The only other quarterback offers I really had was like Boston College and like Wake Forest and then Vanderbilt.
We need to set up a showdown between you and Lamar. Have him go up against you at wide receiver and you cover him as a defensive back and just make Bill Pullian super happy to see things playing out the way that he thought it was his dream team yeah yeah it's absolutely his dream team i thought it would have played out yes yes what does uh big trust mean because we we had mark ingram on the show and we know what the trust is obviously but you tweeted recently trust what's that so like it's basically just like, it's basically just like Lamar started it.
And it really, like, he uses it as, like, I appreciate you. Or, like, he uses, like, it's more just a noun.
Like, it's a noun and a verb at the same time. Yeah.
Yeah, exactly. There's levels to it.
So, like, Mark did the interview where he, you know, had the big truzz. And that's where it really blew up introducing Lamar last year.
And then it's just kind of taken off. Like I don't know where Lamar got it from, but he like, since he came in apparently like that's been his thing and he just uses it.
So like I tweeted, like, I think yesterday, cause like Willie had said something about, you know, last night's game or something like that. So like the way I use it was like, I appreciate you, bro.
Like, you know, this, like, this is our team, our season. Like, it's just kind of like the, our team's like that so like the way i use it was like i appreciate you bro like you know this like this is our team our season like it's just kind of like the our team's like call i guess i don't know but it's cool i mean i don't think i'm cool enough to say it so uh

it's always cool when i see it though um is your dad one of the scariest looking dudes in the world

when when he sits out in the sun and he's got you know the sun beating on his bald head and yeah the muscles aren't popping out it uh it does like he can look a little bit intimidating but he looks more intimidating than he actually is he's like an all-time jawline guy because i was looking at tweets i've had of you and i i was like trace mcsurley's dad is kelly slater and i was like why did i say that and then i went and looked for a picture of your dad and i was like oh that's exactly why i said it bald head jawline just chiseled jawline i'm scared of your father yeah he like he can't hide any of his emotions because his jawline and like a vein that just pumps in his temple. Yup.
Like get away immediately.

Yes.

Like you didn't say he's not pissed off,

but like we can all see like the blood pumping through his skull and no,

like you're upset.

Like chill out.

Are you familiar with the trace McSorley's dad,

Twitter account?

It's at trace dad.

Uh,

I'm not familiar with the account.

No,

there's one tweet.

It says I'm trace McSorley's dad.

I think that's your dad.

So I think your dad's on Twitter is 2017. So it sounds sounds like your dad something your dad would say it adds up uh very simple straight to the point yeah maybe you can help me out with something because we're trying to figure this out last week on part of my take there are visor guys that play quarterback and there are guys that don't wear visors at all last night i don't think lamar was wearing a visor you were wearing a visor.
And I've always thought just from a practical standpoint,

doesn't that get smudgy?

Like can it make it really, really difficult to see

unless you've got somebody that's coming over there

cleaning it off almost every 30 seconds?

At times, it can.

You know, they got like pretty much after every drive,

there's like equipment guys going around like spraying them

and cleaning them.

And I don't know what they spray on it, but I think it works as like it doesn't like let it get fogged up because i especially on like a cold night where like you're breathing on the inside of it and like the you know hot air from your breath gets like fogged up on the inside of it uh so it can make it foggy but they do a good job of keeping them clean and um i feel like after a while you just kind of get used to it yeah um and then just like don't even notice that it's there. Just a heads up, though, we don't think that any quarterback has ever won a Super Bowl wearing a visor.
It's true. I guess we got to change that, though.
Yeah. Okay, be the first.
Take off your visor. I mean, I think we got to win it with a visor.
Oh, okay. That's what I'm saying.
We need someone to do that. It does look cooler.
Every time someone has a visor, I'm like, that's – I mean, when you played Madden or any other video game, you always, always had the visor no matter how ridiculous it looked. No matter what position you play when you create a play, you put the visor on.
Yep. To reflect the one.
Absolutely. Another bet that maybe you can settle, how big is Patrick Ricard? Is he actually over 300 pounds? Yes's insane yeah that is definitely over 300 pounds and he's like jumping over people like leapfrogging him yeah pat is like people don't give him like credit for how athletic he is and like he's a freak athlete but and then like you see what he does as a fullback like you know just pancaking people every game like you know he catches them flat and for some reason dbs will try and tackle him up high and he just like runs through them like they're not there like yeah that's a freak so you played you were big into lacrosse too in high school did bill belichick ever try to get you uh as a wide receiver did he have a conversation with you at the combine no i never had a conversation with belichick about being a wide receiver but yeah i did play lacrosse in high was looking at you, just so you know.
He was looking at you for sure. I mean, he might have been.
He doesn't let anyone know what he's thinking about with the draft. So, I mean, he's got his mind tricks that everyone wants to know what he's up to.
So, he could have been. Yeah.
How much of playing lacrosse was because your name was Trace McSorley and your coach was like, you need to be holding a lacrosse stick? It wasn't necessarily because my name it was because i played baseball and baseball got boring for me oh i wanted to do something a little more like fast-paced too good at it i like that yeah trace mcsorley from virginia's gonna play lacrosse it wasn't too good i think it was i didn't like standing in you know in the outfield and a ball gets hit to me once every couple of innings. What is your favorite game in college? You can't say the 2016 Big Ten Championship game.
So that one's off the table. I can't use that one.
Cannot use that one. I'll go with the 2017 whiteout against Michigan.
Okay. And you guys, what was the final score? I don't remember the final score.

I know we blew them out, though.

But if it wasn't for that one, which one would you say?

2016 Big Ten.

Okay.

Yeah.

100% of the time.

Nah, that game was lame.

Walk us through what happened at halftime of that game.

You were lucky, dude.

You know you were lucky, too.

You just threw jump balls.

I didn't do jump balls.

The last one landed right in the stick once in.

You threw jump balls, and you were just like, hope this works. Close my eyes.
Just throw it up. I know.
I was very drunk, so I actually don't know. I had the right guy to be able to do it, though, too.
Throwing it to Mike and Sticky in the end zone on a corner. I'm going to take that every time.
Whatever. Whatever.
Billy, did you have another question? Did you want to ask the question about the throne? Oh, I actually – so when I was a senior in high school, that's when you were really going off in 2016 and you're watching you in the Ohio State. Nice secret there.
We watched him upset Ohio State and then the next week he just blew out Purdue and then we were like, this guy's the real deal. Two questions.
First one, so being a football player in the Northeast, when you're getting recruiting stuff, you hear a lot of rumors about different colleges, recruiting visits, whatnot. So I heard a rumor from some Penn State kids who were doing visits at Penn State, and they said that Christian Hackenberg at the time at parties would have a huge throne, and he was just surrounded by sorority girls who were assigned to him we heard this rumor and we thought it was like ridiculous but we've i've heard it a couple times since is there any truth to this i never saw him on a throne sitting on a throne now when he walked in, did everyone walk into a fraternity party? Did everyone

mob him? Yes.

But I never saw

a legitimate throne with a shrine

and he's sitting on top

and everyone's just beneath

him and all that. I never saw that.

There's two quarterbacks. It's Lamar

and Christian he's never seen on a throne.

Yep. Got it.

What was the second question?

Have you ever been to McSorley's Bar in New York City? I haven't. But we have a beer.
If you're ever in New York City, we should go to that bar. It'd be really fun.
That's why I definitely got to take a trip there. I've been wanting to go there, check it out.
It's like that old-time kind of pub. So definitely got to go there and have a few beers.
What's really nice about that place is if you order just two beers, they bring you out, like, eight mugs. They bring, like, six.
They bring you out, like, eight small mugs of beer so you feel like you're the man once you drink, like, four of them because it's half a beer, basically. And then you order another round, and they bring out another, like, 16 of them.
It's awesome. I assume you know this, but Adam Schefter just tweeted that you were placed on the injured reserve That's the first I knew that Wait you didn't know that? No Shit Okay now I feel like a dick I mean that is what it is I mean I didn't know exactly how long it was going to be Well there's only three weeks left So I assume Well this is a terrible moment in part of my take history.
I thought you were going to be like, yeah, you know, I'm banged up. But injured reserve, that's not – is that season over? Shit.
No, I mean, I didn't think it was – from what I heard, I didn't think it was going to be season-ending injury from what I heard from the docs. This is – yeah, this is awkward.
Maybe it's a rocker thing. Jake, wait, hold on.
Jake, our stack guy's got some more information. Hold on.
According to Mike Florio, you're out for at least three weeks, which means you're done for the regular season, but you can return for the postseason. Oh, you're good.
Playoffs, dude. You'll come back with that visor and win a Super Bowl.
Yeah. Yeah, that's what we were just talking about.
Someone's got to do it. Okay, so yeah, we bounced back.
That was a bad moment right there. Yeah, I thought maybe someone had told you, and I wasn't breaking news to you right there, but we just broke more news to you that you're back for the playoffs.
Yeah, so we'll make sure Lamar's got his visor on. I'll have mine on just in case, and then we could make sure that we win the Super Bowl, and now someone's winning with a visor.
Yeah, slip him some Pepto before every game so that you won't be needed.

What was your pregame meal last night?

Ooh, good question.

Last night it was spaghetti and filet with broccoli.

Okay, how was the filet cooked?

Medium rare.

Was there chili on the spaghetti?

No, just marinara sauce. Okay, you were in okay you were in Ohio okay alright I have one last question I do apologize for breaking that news to you that sucked straight up sucked by me we're going to get right back to the show introducing Instagram teen accounts a new way to keep your teen safer as they grow like being Trace McSorley at Penn State, like that was probably pretty sweet, right? Uh, yeah, no, it was, it was cool.
Had a bunch of good times there. Can't, uh, can't complain about that.
Did you have a moment where you're walking around on campus, maybe after like junior year where you're like, this is awesome. Um, I mean, so like when I first started playing, like in 2016, we had like a couple of guys on the team got, there was like a fraternity that got kicked off of campus.
so like a couple of guys on the team got there was like a fraternity that got kicked off of campus so like some of the guys on the team had like moved into there because it was like a lot cheaper rent for them and so that house kind of became like the football fraternity house so like after big wins like after the ohio state win like that place was going nuts right ridiculous and then like so i think yeah walking like walking into there and like everyone else is there i think that was like one of the moments where it was like yeah this is pretty cool okay yes yes how does that work out logistically if you have a football house who's in charge of like splitting up the utilities and be like hey guys can you pay is pay? Is there like a spreadsheet that someone puts together? It was like, it was only like a few guys on the team that actually lived in there. And then it was a bunch of other guys that we were like guys were friends with on campus or, you know, new from class or guys that were on the team that decided that football wasn't for them.
They wanted to live in there. So they all just split up like the utilities of it so there's only they just you know treated like a normal house with you know 12 15 dudes however many were in there living there and then they just split it all up evenly i guess i don't know the logistics how they split all that up the ultimate man cave yes yes that would yeah no it was it was a good place yeah one of the best places i think that's i mean it's kind of a lame question to it's kind of a lame question to ask, but it's also the thing that, like, every guy thinks about, like,

what would it be like to be the starting quarterback of a big-time college

football program and, like, walking around campus and everyone being like,

ooh, that's Trace McSorley.

Ooh, were you there when James Franklin put juice boxes in all the lockers

to keep you guys juiced up?

Yeah, they were handing those out.

They handed those to us as we were, like, leaving the hotel to go to the game. Did that work? Yeah, it worked.
So it did work. It worked, yeah.
Yeah, it worked. Yeah, brought our own juice.
You got any other questions, Billy, before we let Trace go? I think you took his last question was how sweet was it to be a quarterback. Yeah, that definitely was a Billy question.
Billy's just nodding. Billy was a quarterback, quarterback too so he kind of knows what it was like to be trace McSorley at Penn State oh I have one last last question uh have you ever practiced with RG3 and tried to throw a football at a tree with him throw a football out of a tree at a tree he's really good at hitting trees like I'm talking from 40 50 yards away if you pick tree, he can hit it.
I mean, we throw at the goal post.

That's about as close as we ever got to the tree.

Who wins at that?

So, like, we do it, like, between all our quarterbacks, like, after practice.

Like, we'll just do a competition.

So, it rotates who wins.

Our quarterback coach, Coach Urban, gets in on it, too.

And, like, he's, like, sneaky good at it sometimes, too.

Shit.

I think I could throw 100 times.

I wouldn't hit it once. All right.
Well, Trace, good luck. Rest of the season.
We'll see you in the playoffs. Sorry about the knee.
Sorry. We had to break that news to you, but we appreciate your warrior dude.
Like we, last night we were texting with each other. We're like, there's no way he's going to come on after he got hurt, but nope.
Just play through. That's a football guy.
Phillip Rivers played in an AFC championship game on a torn ACL.

You came on part of my take after straining your knee.

So you tell me.

Yeah, exactly.

Exactly.

All right, Trace.

Thanks so much, man.

Appreciate it.

I appreciate you guys having me on.

All right.

Thanks, man.

Good luck.

Thanks, man.

And if you ever want to play Call of Duty with Billy,

he wants to play with you.

Me and Billy can get in there.

Okay.

All right. We'll hook it up.
Yeah, yeah. He's got a lot of time on his hands.
Is he good? Are you good, Billy? No, he's back. I got a .75 KD now.
.75? Going off. No, Hank.
Hank, I fixed. What is yours? What's yours? I fixed my OBS.
You probably have other things going on, yeah. Yeah, I got other things.
All right, man. We'll see you.
Thanks so much. See you, man.
Have a good one. Marty Suma, the University of Maryland sports social media guru, social media ninja.
I don't know what they're called now. Social media guy.
Non-intern. Non-intern.
He's a social media professional coming up next, and he's brought to you by Roman Swipes. We love Roman Swipes.
You guys know what I'm talking about when it comes to Roman Swipes. You've tried different ways to last longer, but thinking about baseball doesn't always work.
The folks over at Roman are an online men's health company, and they're changing the game with Roman Swipes. It's the secret to longer lasting sex.
Hank, what have you tried to last longer in bed? I just try and think about baseball yeah it doesn't always work especially if you really like baseball it's a red stream tie scenarios if the red sox are really good so in 2018 uh that would have been a bad way this year would have been a good way to not bust that load super early roman swipes is 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 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,

you swipe it on, you let it dry,

and you're good to go.

That's it.

Go to GetRoman.com slash take. Get your first month of swipes for just five dollars when you choose that monthly plan that's get roman.com slash take and now here's marty and now for something completely different okay we now welcome on uh marty summer is that how you pronounce your last name summauma.
Suma. Okay, so Marty was kind enough.
He co-hosts a podcast, Exit 52, with someone most of the people here probably know, Barstool Banks, a Ravens podcast, a Maryland podcast. On Monday, we were talking about team accounts that have to tweet out terrible final scores and just get berated and dragged on the internet.
Marty hit us up. He ran the Maryland football account for a few years, and we thought it would be perfect to have you on.
So thank you for joining us. Of course.
Let's just go right into it. So you actually sent us some of your greatest hits.
I'll say it out loud. So, uh, final Ohio state, 62, Maryland, 14 final, uh, Penn state, 66, Maryland, three final Ohio state, 73, Maryland, 14 final Michigan, 59, Maryland three.
So when you're running the account and you see it, you know, do you know it before the game, you know, like, all right, this is one of those games that this is going to absolutely suck. Yeah.
I mean, uh, going into every game, you have that hope that maybe this is going to be that, uh, lightning in a bottle game. I mean, we had one against Ohio state where we went double overtime.
Um, and that was one that was really unexpected, but you usually know going into it and then you'll really know within the first two possessions how, and my laptop usually closes around the first quarter. Yeah.
So on the final tweets, when you have to put those out, do you have to do those like because of a contract with a sponsor of the football team, or is it just like to update anyone who might not be watching the game? Hey, we lost by 60. Yeah, I mean, us in the sports social media world like to say there's unwritten rules, and you'd like to think that, shamefully or not, you've got to put a final up.
I mean, we go pretty much dead silent or white noise for three quarters. You got to put something up.
So when you do have to post something like Sunday night or Monday morning, you're not completely ignoring what just happened for four hours on Saturday. So when you go final, do you, I've noticed the teams used to be like fought hard or the guys fought hard.
Now it's just straight final. When was that transition made? And did you have that? Like, did you used to, when you first started at the job, try to add a little bit of like, hey, buck up guys.
It's not so bad. And then you finally were like, this sucks.
I'm just going to throw out final. Yeah, I think you see across the board now that there's like a universal just final period.
And then the score. We've played with sometimes like you mentioned, if there's a sponsor attached to it.
I mean, we've talked to sponsors before where do you even want to be associated with a 60-63 title? yeah um so we'll usually put in in either contract or just let them know that this is typically for

for wins. It's a lot easier with basketball when you have more games, but football, you could be looking at two posts a year.
Yes. Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's something said where, I mean, you guys probably know more than anyone that the mentions can be brutal. Yeah.
So where you're used to try and get cute and write, hey, we'll get back out there and fight next Saturday, you get blown up pretty hard. So just keep it short and sweet.
Yeah. It should be like you should have a sponsor that is only attached in case of a blowout.
Yeah. Like a sponsor that's down to ride with you.
It's actually more valuable for interaction. Right.
You get more replies. So like if it's dude wiped, like we got our shit fucked up.
Yeah. Yeah.
This was a mess. This was a disaster.
Bring the dude wipes. Right.
Yeah. I mean, an alcohol sponsor for Bentley's.
I know SVP would back that one. Yeah.
Yeah. So how much of your job running the social media at Maryland was specifically designed to try to get a retweet from scott van pelt pretty much 90 i would believe that now here's so the finals have have kind of uh people have caught on we've talked about it a bunch now i think the cool ones are the really sad celebration of a play in the middle of a blowout so like the Michigan game 59-3 Maryland kicked a field goal to make it 45-3 did you guys tweet out like field goal is good no we um I look back at Arizona's because I wanted to just see how they kind of especially seeing the score on bottom line, you just want to see how they're handling it and you feel for those guys.
And I did see that they posted the highlight of the touchdown. When they were down like 35 to seven or something like that.
Yes. Especially if it's a rivalry like that, it's God, you're almost trolling yourself at that point um i think as a field goal i would

say probably not but if if you did have like a touchdown where either was somewhat of a decent

player or worth worth a uh a highlight maybe but not a field goal so what about that that card that

came up at the end of the blow when it's 70 to 7 they put it up as the final and then there was a

picture of one of their players on it who was just attached to that final score forever have you ever

I'm sorry. card that came up at the end of the blow when it's 70 to 7 they put it up as the final and then there was a picture of one of their players on it who was just attached to that final score forever have you ever had a conversation with anybody who's like hey maybe let's not include pictures of our players like one individual or it's like uh don't include a picture of the coach on there because then that looks really bad i think if you go through maryland's um, I mean, we had, as you guys know, a couple of coaches in a short time span.
So we typically don't get the best reactions no matter what to coaches. So we look to avoid coaches no matter what, but I'm looking back on these, trying to think my thought process, but you can see in, the Ohio State – I know this is bad radio, but in the Ohio State final, it's kind of like a defensive play where you can't really see numbers or anyone's faces.
Scott, I feel bad on the Penn State one. I really blew – CJ Moore, I kind of blew him up there.
The Michigan one is your greatest one because there's no graphic, and it just says final period, number two Michigan 59, comma, Maryland 3, period. That was it.
That might have been like in the elevator out of the press box just kind of throwing that out on the cell phone. Yeah.
So I've definitely noticed the final period. Period is the piece of punctuation you have to use.
Like if it's a blowout, you can't do a comma. You certainly can't do a semicolon because then that opens you up for more final conveys final period conveys like the right amount of sobriety and conveys like, we're not going to discuss this anymore.
Yeah. To all of you replying to this we have no further comment yeah so i guess my last question is like did you ever get angry and want to reply to people because most of these tweets you can see underneath it people are just replying like why would you tweet this why are you tweeting this we suck why would you did you ever be like oh man i really want to just be like yo it's it's my fucking job.
What do you want me to do? We suck right now. Yeah, I mean, collegiate sports, you kind of envy the pro teams where, I mean, like the Hawks or those teams that are known for their kind of tongue-in-cheek social where they've kind of put just like white noise or able to respond to people.
But the tough part about working for a college team is you represent a university. So kind of going back at people, that's what they want you to do.
Right. We have had fun with people, especially those where we can give a playful response.
but there are times when you keep seeing that mentioned number pop up and you just want to just send like a group reply all. But you just got to hold it together.
I mean, our first really bad one was our first year in the Big Ten. I think we were 5-2 going into Camp Randall and we just got wh got.
I was at that game. Yes.
And I looked back on the social for that day and I don't think we got past kickoff beat Wisconsin. I think we kind of just like shut her down right after that.
And it's even worse there because you get those mentions throughout the entire game like we suck why are we still playing let's pack it in let's go home and then you post the final and it's like dropping a tank of gas right in the the bonfire because it's just like let's let's do this again let's uh run it back um but yeah it's tough not to to say anything. What about the UMBC guy that was tweeting during the upset of UVA? Was that an occasion where you were rooting for him and, like, go, man, go? Or were you secretly jealous that he was able to, like, spread his wings? I'm jealous.
I'm not going to sugarcoat that. I mean, that's one of those where when you're not expected to win ever and you get that opportunity, that dude has rode that train for a couple years.
So good for him. But, yeah, definitely jealous of – he pretty much got to – if he put just like a poop emoji up or anything, that guy would have gotten like 12,000 retweets.
So it's one of those where, I mean, get creative, but you can't do any wrong in those situations. Yeah, that's like being like everyone just laughing at your jokes and you're the funniest guy for a minute for like one of those nights where you're just on fire and everything is working.
He's probably, if you look at the long-term ramifications of that win over UVA, he probably benefited the most out of anybody in the entire world. Yes that one win yes all right so i mean yeah it's also crazy just because anytime uva loses to anyone else like that guy gets to like jump back in the spotlight he's just he's always relevant all right so last last question um.
Give us one of the positive moments.

Did you do basketball too?

Yeah, I did basketball.

Basketball's pretty – I mean, for the most part, basketball's pretty – I mean, we beat Duke our last year in the ACC.

That was one of those where we had our first flash mob that game.

We couldn't do any wrong.

We stormed the court.

I think I had content for the next two weeks. It didn't really matter what we did from that point on like stp was there um we lit it up like that was one of the biggest highlights and then i think from a football perspective beating west virginia 38 nothing um at i think mnt that was mnt um anything that we did after that too was was gold so it's not all bad but we do feel for social media guys that have to post these terrible final scores i know i just want everyone i want to take a psa real quick to just think about us when you're replying to no keep roasting whoa hold on no no keep roasting but understand Right, right.
But then keep roasting. Acknowledge that and move on from it and roast the shit out of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just think of us for one second while you're hitting that.
And also, stop calling them interns. I'm pretty sure that everybody that runs an account for any college is probably a professional, right? Yeah, we have benefits and stuff.
Yeah, this is someone who's like, wow, what kind of benefits are we talking about? Sick rag on yeah um but my last last last question is is there like a dream job is it like you look at university of texas or usc as being like a college football dream job what is like the gig to have working for a university and social media i mean it's it's things you don't think about are like some of those top tier schools, like the Michigans, the Alabamas, like they, they're pretty tight with tradition and, um, donors eyes and what kind of backers think about the program. So you actually might, might think that those are fun, but they're a little tied more than the, the like max schools that can kind of just like let it fly.
Yeah. Um, I think the dream jobs are just anyone's where, where your administration, which I'm thankful that mine did for eight years had a trust in me and kind of let me just go and kind of take credit where credit was due, but also, um, trusted me to to to get some laughs but also uh act accordingly for university you had you had to be terrified that you would tweet something from your personal account by accident oh oh i did every day oh you did yeah i um i tweeted that i was watching mean girls one day from the maryland main account uh and that was screenshotted, and I think there was a hashtag that started Terps Mean Girls that just kind of went on for like two weeks.
I thought I was going to get fired because that was my first year. I love it.
All right, well, man, thank you so much. Everyone listen to Exit 52 Podcast.
Congrats on the Ravens being back, and thank you for joining us. Yeah, thank you, guys.

New Instagram teen accounts, automatic protections for who can contact your teen and the content they can see. All right.
Back to part of my take. Okay.
Let's wrap up Wednesday's show with a little FAQs. Holiday FAQs.
Is that right? Holiday FAQs for everyone who's going out for their office parties. Happy Chanukah as Smokey Robinson.
Yes. that was a great video.
All right, yeah, so some holidays, some just FAQ general show stuff. This guy says, I've been a fan since the beginning.
Didn't understand it then and don't understand it now. Why the, all caps, why the fuck did you guys have Martin Shkreli on the show? Go Bills.
That was awesome. So sometimes during this show, we get a little caught up.
We get wound up in whatever the flavor of the day is. And I think Martin Scully was going viral.
That was also very early in the show. Yeah, it was like we were, if you remember the guests, we were trying to like, all right, what's the next thing? What's the next thing? We didn't have bookers.
We booked everything ourselves. And I think, yeah, he was trolling Wu-Tang, right? He bought the Wu-Tang album.
That's when he bought the Wu-Tang album. And he was making all these weird videos from his apartment.
Yeah, and so we just decided, yeah, we'll have him on the show. I didn't personally like him.
I think that came out a little bit. Yeah, I don't think he was a good guy.
I did get sassy with him, Hank. And then we started a band and squashed the beef.
So the band is, I think it's still on hold. Steroids.
I mean, that was before Billy, but it was all about steroids. I follow him on Instagram, and he just has someone posting for him because he's in jail.
I think still in jail? Is he out of jail? Yeah, no, I think he just got more jail. Okay, he got more jail.
Because he probably deserved it. Yeah.
But someone just keeps posting pictures of his cats from his account being like it's just his account is active and it's just all his cat pictures twitter account suspended twitter account suspended i still i mean that face i think i wrote the blog when it first happened like the most punchable face of all time when he's when he came when he came up first on the scene and had his smug ass face and he yeah he was uh he was something else paul gunther definitely would have hit him in the face yes in the showdown i think we should record one episode a part of my take and try to get him to buy it and not release it to anyone else yes get fucking definitely has zero dollars now negative money uh so this is from a youth a young a young college student from Toronto. Actually, I guess there's a location on these tech masters.
They have colleges in Toronto? Unis. Unis.
Unis. Got it.
Universities. McGill? How do you make the most of giving up? I think that's an American? I don't know.
Is that an American? It's an American college in Canada. The American school? Yeah.
I just made that up. Okay.
How to make the most of giving up your freedom at college and coming home to live with your parents for the winter break, including getting your booze and Nick fix without being judged? What's it? Is that nicotine? Yeah. Well, it's quarantine, so I don't – well, actually, Canada, I think, has figured it out, right? You can buy booze in Canada when you're 18, right? Yeah.
You can do anything in Canada. Even worse, though.
You know college kids aren't really... It's probably much worse for a college kid because they're at houses and they're going to house parties and shit, and then it's like they have to go home.
They're going to kill Nana. A lot of college kids...
Yeah. College kids listening to this right now, you're probably going to kill Nana.
I don't even know. Don't do it.
I'm nervous about going. I'm going home for Christmas, and I feel like my mom, even if I want to go see my friends, I'm going to get shamed.
Yeah. You will.
Yeah. Of course you will.
Especially if your parents are older. I'm not going home.
Oh, you think that's not fair? I'm just like trying to. At first, I was like, That was a nice reverse shame you just did.
We were like, it's not fair that I'm being shamed. Yeah, no.
For putting my family at risk. If I go I go home and I go hang out at a friend's house and then I go back, I might kill Marlon Spann.
I think you're missing the question. He's not going to see any of his friends.
He's wondering how he should consume booze and nicotine while around his family. What's the best way? Without being like, oh, you're totally straight.
That doesn't matter. Well, no, in being judged.
No, Canada. You can drink legally in Canada.
So what are they going to do? Also, I feel like that like break in college, like just embrace it. Who cares? Just don't just sleep all day.
Work out. Yeah.
You know how you don't get judged? You you stay up till four in the morning and you sleep till 4 p.m you show up for dinner every night and then the rest of your family goes to sleep and you rip cod with the boys yep and no one's gonna judge you because you won't they literally won't be awake and i think what you can do is like especially with your dad dads love their sons going off to college for the first time because they come back that first break, and dad's like, there's my party kid right there.

Your dad will probably drink with you on the first night,

maybe be a little hungover going to night number two,

and then you just leave him in the dust.

So you invite him to partake with you for at least the first night,

then maybe he'll get too hungover to continue,

and you're free.

You've already established that you drink in his house now.

So then you're free to imbibe as the week progresses. Yeah.
Hey, Big Cat, PFT, Honk, and Billy Squires, what is everyone's favorite Christmas cookie? I just like the sugar cookies with the straight up, like the thin sugar cookies with the sprinkles on it that you can eat like a thousand of them and like just pop them i like those but those are always in danger of being like a little too dry it's yes you need them within you need them within like 12 hours of cooking yeah i like an oreo i used to leave oreos out for santa all the time never got any complaints um probably the best milk cookie as well and water and water yeah you need water to chase the milk after the cookie well you gotta wash wash your oreos yeah you got to wash your or you got to hose the greatest water cookie out there yeah i think you can't go wrong with a cookie around the holidays that's what i always say this is definitely the give up time of just like there's just i do love like this stretch where anywhere you look there's just candy and cookies everywhere like yesterday there were just in the kitchen at the office there was like probably 200 cookies just sitting out and popcorn there's always popcorn yeah it's popcorn when they say oh dude we need that big tub someone sent us a big tub yeah wait which one are you i like to mix them all you mix them you take the thing out you let them no i don't do that but i like to i like to go you know a little i actually don't really love the butter as much it's usually the cheese and the caramel and then just a little bit of see i go cheese and i go butter stay away from the caramel oh you gotta you gotta go get a little sweet uh that's i mean i think i've said this before but my life like the most important job i have in my life is trying to balance that sweet and savory. Trying to figure out when you can get off one or the other.
Why are you hiding the new Larry from us? Is he winning too many bets and you don't want to give the people the insights? Are you ashamed of the conditions you are keeping them under? I have asked this question frequently to myself in the past, like, eight seconds as I typed it. So technically, it is an FAQ.
Is this written by a goldfish? Also, Merry Christmas, bam, holiday themed. Now you have to answer it.
Pwned. Oh, God, that was a bonus.
Damn, the fish is fat. You got us.
The fish is too fat. So fat.
So we can't, it doesn't turn. Disgustingly fat.
We don't body shape. It's unable to turn, so it can't, it's like DK Metcalf.
It's the first fish to last two years, so it's like grown, it's probably, I don't know, five or six or seven times bigger than any of the other fish. It's disgusting.
The first week we were going to— It actually is. I see it every now and I'm like, yo, Larry.
It's gross. You're kind of gross, dude.
We were going to have a track play Barstool picks, the eight play Barstool picks, but we went to do the net and he's wider than the net, so to put him in the net and then have him make the picks, it felt like it was animal. We him every time yeah yeah so what do we what do we do with him he's thriving i think we all answer your question yeah we let him live we let him live we'll tweet a picture of it spider takes care of him does a great job and people can't get mad because all we heard for the first six seven larry's however many was this is cruelty your larry's keep dying so quickly.
Well, guess what, fuckers?

This Larry has outlived everyone.

The thing is, if we started to use him for content,

I guarantee he would die within the first two weeks.

Because he actually, when you go to use the net on him,

it's like punching him.

It's not a little tiny cute goldfish.

It's a fucking full-ass man.

Billy, now you. No, Billy wants to fuck him.

I'm just saying the fish is

so big that you could pass it off

is like a big fish that you caught.

Like if you put it close to the camera.

If you pull Larry out of the water

you can legally keep it and you don't have to put it back.

That should be your new avatar.

Like you should be a fish avatar guy where you're holding

the goldfish. I should take Larry and put him close

to the camera and make him look huge.

But we would have to hook him, so let's not do that.

Okay.

Ask Billy who taught the first teacher.

Whoa.

Oh, I have a whoa.

Life.

Moses.

What?

The tablets.

He learned through...

Life taught the first teacher?

Yeah.

He learned through right...

What's the word?

Environmental learning.

I think, yeah.

So in other words, just a lot of people died. Yeah.
Fig figuring stuff out. I have a whoa.
I saw it on Twitter today. Do you know that Zion is actually the longest tenured Pelican? Whoa.
Yeah. Whoa.
He technically, when he was drafted, all the other guys have been there less time. That's amazing.
Yeah. He's the leader of that team now.
Isn't that insane? I also saw that he got skinny, which I don't like. Did he? Yeah, he got skinny.
He'll put it back on. He always will.
It's the holidays. He can't keep that off.
As a guy who fluctuates, you're not fooling anyone, Zion. For my family's Yankee swap, or some call it White Elephant.
I call it Yankee swap. You can't say White Elephant.
Okay. I'm stumped this year.
There's a $30 limit. What are some out of the ordinary ideas I can use this year? Scratches.
Cash. Always scratch offs.
Cash. Cash in a different country's currency.
Fidget spinner. You could get.
Oh, that's a good one. Fidget spinners are back.
I would be so pissed off if somebody got me $30 worth of currency from a different country.

That would be an asshole move.

Part of my Flakes is actually a good call.

Jimmy John's, our favorite place.

Having a family member, like an old uncle, end up with a part of my Flakes box would be a funny gag.

That would be a very funny gag.

This NFC Beast t-shirt on sale now.

I think out the door that's just under $30. One sleeve of this Buddha Ben sweatshirt I'm wearing.
Why did you guys choose the smallest Ralph's parking lot for a group meetup in Santa Monica? Love you guys. Great question.
I don't know. Yeah.
We got kicked out. I think we almost got arrested.
I think it was Body Armor. It was Body Armor.
It was our sales team set it up. I don't know why they chose Ralph's.
I think because Ralph's sold body armor, but they didn't tell Ralph's and they didn't tell anyone else. And we had like 600 people show up.
When we were performing a wedding in the van and it was like brother and sister or something that got weird. The cops came and were like, you guys can't do this.
This is illegal. It's super close to the 405, so we needed a getaway spot.
I just love the name Ralph's. I would shop at Ralph's all the time.
Just head down to Ralph's. Need anything? That's a cool thing to say.
Yo, I'm popping over to Ralph's. Do you need me to pick up anything? I was disappointed that Ralph's didn't have those stations set up where you could sample stuff.
Ralph's seems like a sample grocery store. Did we even go into Ralph's? Yeah, we went in, I think.
No, we didn't. That was a different one.
You're thinking of when we were in Atlanta. I was thinking of Publix.
Yeah. No, we didn't even go into Ralph's.
No, yeah. Ralph's.
So maybe Ralph's does. Although I don't think so.
Smashed and trash. What were you going to say, Billy? No, I was just going to ask, which was the illegal part? Like the marriage? No, we were a bit.
I mean, in Ralph's defense, it made sense why they were pissed, because we just completely consumed their entire parking lot, so no one... We caused a traffic jam in their parking lot.
But at what point does it become illegal to just show up in a parking lot? Flash mobs, illegal. Yeah.
They legalized that when everyone started dancing to Harvey Danger. Was it...
I believe that it was... We were doing the wedding, and the whole time I was like, this is the weirdest thing we've ever done by far.
And then at the end, they were like, we're actually. Brother and sister.
And the girl was like, he forced me to do this. And we're like, this is creepy.
The guy could get his stand in besides his sister. Yeah.
I think that's when we figured it out. Because can now kiss the bride.
Billy, don't judge. You fuck frogs, dude.
Yeah, that was a wild time. I felt bad for the girl.
Yes. All right, so these are two questions very similar to each other.
Dear Big Cat, PFT, Hank, Liam, and Jake, I hope you all have a great holiday season. What's the best gift to get someone that you want to break up with after the holiday season? Oh, that's a great question.
Yeah. An Xbox.
Yeah. I was going to say, like, something that will keep him entertained.
No, so you could get back. Like, you're not going to want that PS5, are you? No, no.
You didn't really like COD. Because if you break up with him after giving him an Xbox.
No, I think it's not guys on chicks. It's not guys on chicks.
Oh. What? What's the question? This is FA this is faqs but you're getting somebody yeah but it could be a guy getting a girl a gift oh okay yeah okay i was saying a girl an xbox and being like you love cod and then like two weeks later be like no you don't you know let me have it back if you're a girl then i think that's even more of a brilliant move if you're going to break up with a guy.
Because then he's not going to be talking to you anyways at that point. He'll just be obsessed with his new video game system.
So Xbox for both. So Xbox, yeah.
All right, and this one's a little similar. Best present to get for my girlfriend who earlier this year cheated on me.
She doesn't know I know yet, but what should I get for a little revenge? Oh, if he knows the guy, you've you gotta get something related to the guy and watch her get like super flush and be like i know that's a funny that's a funny yeah like find out if they went on a date somewhere and get like a gift card for that place but yeah you love that place right yeah something really passive aggressive like that or just blow up the lyrics that taylor swift song i I think you did it, but I just can't prove it. Be like, I know you love Taylor Swift.
Yeah. Oh, shit.
Put that in the frame. This is good.
I want you to... These are the ones I wish we could videotape.
I just want to make cheaters with Joey Greco. Cool again.
Joey Greco got fucking stabbed, dude. That guy was committed to the game.
Just write a really long poem about how you love her so much. And you know that you two are meant for each other and you'll never do anything to each other ever.
Yes. Like the reason why I love you so much is you'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever cheat on.
And just stare at her. Who runs the meme account on Twitter? The account's too good.
So it's definitely not Billy. I'll hang up and listen.
We don't know.

We don't know. He's awesome.
I do. It's a kid named Connor.

Shout out Connor. He's fucking sick.

He's sick. He's a great job.

Yes. Very, very good.

We should hire him as our intern.

And then have him fight Jake Paul.

Oh, I bet you Connor could meme

his way into that.

That'd be electric.

Last one. This is not an FAQ faq but a whoa he's so happy billy you should talk to connor and use connor can help you meme your way into the jake paul fight yeah connor's definitely listening right now connor help help billy billy needs a little kickstart here in the billy wants it to become a meme been busy's fine.
It's fine. But Connor literally has nothing going on, clearly.
I didn't mean that in a bad way. He's really good at what he does.
What is his job? Does he have a job? He's really good at what he does. He just kills it with memes.
There's many times where I'm like, shit, Connor's funnier than me. Fuck.
Not an FA, but a whoa. The Fyre Festival segment is the new Jimbo's.
I'll hang up and listen. Whoa.
Whoa. Whoa.
You got us. Yeah.
Shit. But Fyre Fest sounds a lot cooler.
Yeah. I don't know.
I think... It's been like three years and we're still...
Well, that's a Fyre Fest. Yeah.
I guess. Like that in itself.
It's a self-fulffulfilling fire fest that we're still talking about fire fest i think that i think they should do the fire fest i would go if they if somebody announced like this summer the fire fest is actually happening to celebrate the end of quarantine i would fucking go the initial release january 18th 2019 so we're approaching two years it needs to be this summer it needs to be like an official worldwide end of covid party firefest 2.0 this time it's actually happening we promise i also yes sorry about the last time yeah i'm gonna push back on that one i think that uh if you just if you just keep saying firefest we'll be at the we'll be at the beginning of when it's cool again you know what i mean we're waiting it out we're squatyre Fest. Eventually, people will start saying Fyre Fest again, and they'll be like, oh, way to rip off part of my tape.
Like, yeah. Way to rip us off.
Yes, exactly. Exactly.
Or is that it, Hank? That looks like it's it. Okay.
Numbers. Numbers.
Eight. Numbers.
We're riding with eight, baby. I kind of want to go 100 now that I know it's in there you're going to go double 100

I'm going to go 100

I don't want to get it. By having that at your home.
I don't want to get it. I'm trying to avoid three.
I don't want to win this one because people would be like, that's rigged. Eight, eight, eight.
What do we got? 62? I feel like 62 is like every other day. That's an awful number.
Yeah, what a nothing number.

Awful number.

62, a repeat November 8th was the last time. Yeah, nothing happened on November 8th.

Grizzly bears possess a biting force of over 1,200 PSI,

which is enough to crush a bowling ball or an iron skillet.
