Speaker 37 That's right.

Speaker 17 The app is coming out, what, around noon?

Speaker 38 Afternoon.

Speaker 21 Let's say afternoon, because we got got one last meeting that needs to take place, but go download it.

Speaker 34 It will be live for everyone who lives in Pennsylvania, all you AWLs.

Speaker 41 So afternoon-ish, if you follow all of our social medias, we will make a big announcement.

Speaker 43 We also.

Speaker 37 What if you don't live in Pennsylvania?

Speaker 13 Well, you can still download it. You can still download it.
You can still look at it, or you can download the barstool free play.

Speaker 44 So it still has all the lines and stuff.

Speaker 14 It has all the lines.

Speaker 27 And this whole team, minus Billy, no offense, Billy, but it's just the truth.

Speaker 13 We'll be in Philadelphia on Sunday.

Speaker 36 That's right. Live streaming.

Speaker 17 City of Brotherly Love.

Speaker 47 All Fenny.

Speaker 21 All day long.

Speaker 13 And we got some new bets that we're going to talk to in our NFL preview.

Speaker 42 Okay, so Barstool Sportsbook app day is today.

Speaker 27 Again, download it sometime in the afternoon.

Speaker 36 Get ready.

Speaker 17 It's exciting. I used to laugh at Big Cat when he would say that he has spent his entire life losing at gambling in service of a greater purpose where he will eventually win.

Speaker 17 And I think this is the beginning of that, where you have experienced so much loss as a gambler that now you get to experience the upside of still losing as a gambler but also winning winning as a gambler responsible gambling is the name of the game though everyone be responsible bet within your means it's for entertainment i love it i will be a proponent of it but do it responsibly yes i my face is on like the top of it on a banner and i when i first saw that i almost cried what's funny because like i have reached my peak there there are a lot of uh obviously like gambling websites and apps out there and they have people that are making picks telling you what they think the best options are and you have no idea if they're winners or losers in their past.

Speaker 15 With us, you know that we lose a shitload of our bets.

Speaker 17 So it's actually way more honest that way.

Speaker 13 This Thursday night game, which I want to talk about something else before we talk about the Thursday night game, but this Thursday night game is a perfect example.

Speaker 21 I said pregame, I love the under, and if I love the under, it will absolutely go over.

Speaker 17 I intentionally did not bet the over three and a half field goals.

Speaker 17 Fat Randy prop.

Speaker 54 We'll get to him in a little bit.

Speaker 21 Fat Randy.

Speaker 4 All right, but before we do that, let's talk a little playoff basketball.

Speaker 38 It's a football or a football show yeah no i know but but hold on but hold on hold on hank we are a football show joe burrow and bigger mafia hold on hank but when have we

Speaker 14 care about them you just let me finish you let me finish

Speaker 17 when have we ever done a show after two people in the room attended a playoff basketball game pfd and hank were at or sorry pfd and jake were at the game tonight yeah it was electric you talk about a bubble atmosphere no disrespect to families but i don't think i'm ever going to leave that bubble and how many sons did you suck off uh

Speaker 17 Spell sons.

Speaker 17 Spell sons before I answer that question.

Speaker 17 I sucked off zero sons, zero daughters. Okay.

Speaker 17 It was just an electric atmosphere in there. There's nothing else

Speaker 17 next to Billy the Marlin, which was a dream of mine, obviously. My only regret is I didn't get dressed up as Marlin's man.

Speaker 51 AWL JP was the one who made things happen.

Speaker 37 So big shout out to him.

Speaker 17 How much of that win do you think was attributable to us being at the game, bringing our energy, meanwhile, Hank was not in attendance, and his Celtics really seemed to suffer a letdown in the second half.

Speaker 44 And I had to fucking watch BitCat. You weren't even there for this.
I had to watch.

Speaker 44 Because they were watching it, they were 20 seconds ahead, and so PFT was doing the thing where he was like, oh, no, don't watch this, Hank.

Speaker 38 Don't watch this.

Speaker 15 You don't want to see this. I was like, twice, and then

Speaker 15 you're going to be a little bit more.

Speaker 47 No, no, no, no.

Speaker 47 I was being honest.

Speaker 22 It was actually Billy.

Speaker 26 Oh, that's right.

Speaker 58 That's so mean.

Speaker 38 That's so mean.

Speaker 59 I was being honest.

Speaker 60 Oh, Jake.

Speaker 17 Because I told Hank not to watch when there there was an injury. Okay.
And I didn't want him to have to say that.

Speaker 17 I was trying to do him a favor.

Speaker 17 But they are down 2-0, Hank. Yeah.
And credit to us for not starting the show by saying the Boston Celtics are dead. 2-0 is not an insurmountable league by any stretch of the imagination.

Speaker 17 If they play like they did tonight in the second half, it definitely is beyond the stretch of, you know, it's beyond their own possibility.

Speaker 4 Hank, how are you feeling?

Speaker 61 Honest.

Speaker 44 I feel terrible. The second half of the game,

Speaker 44 they did the zone defense thing again.

Speaker 44 The Celtics just played absolutely terra is out coaching brad steven yeah they had absolutely no good looks the entire second half uh the heat were just doing whatever they wanted to but after the game i was bummed out then it came out that the celtics had like a little players only meeting they were throwing shit around there's a lot of reports of screaming yelling

Speaker 38 shit crashing but

Speaker 44 marcus smart just threw everything yes but when they all came out and did their press they were like you know we're all good it's all family like it's that type of thing where hopefully it's one of those players only meeting that turns the season around and not like they just quit.

Speaker 44 Because they all came out and were like, oh, no, it's all love. It's all family.
Like, sometimes disagreements happen within families. So I'm just trying to spin that positively.
But yeah,

Speaker 44 I don't feel great.

Speaker 34 I'd imagine they started getting upset and they're like, fuck, man, this sucks.

Speaker 13 And Marcus Smart, like, maybe someone throws, like,

Speaker 13 kicks a chair, and then Marcus Smart just grabs his sledgehammer that he's been saving in his locker room or his locker and just starts smashing everything inside.

Speaker 64 Yeah, he's just like, yeah, let's do it.

Speaker 17 You remember that episode of The Office when Kevin and his his brother had to sell the Jet Skis? Yes. And Kevin's.

Speaker 15 No, Roy.

Speaker 56 Roy.

Speaker 17 Roy's brother walks in and sees people just smashing shit. He's like, oh, we're doing this? Yeah, it's on.
I've been waiting to throw this

Speaker 17 pot glass against the window. Yeah.
So, Hank, let me ask you a very serious question. If the Celtics lose game three, is Brad Stevens coaching for his job?

Speaker 44 No.

Speaker 15 But technically, yeah, he is still.

Speaker 17 I wasn't going to say that, Hank.

Speaker 66 I'm being serious.

Speaker 17 Is Brad Stevens on the hot seat right now?

Speaker 55 No.

Speaker 17 If they they get swept?

Speaker 54 No. No, he's not on the hot seat.

Speaker 28 It's not a rough season.

Speaker 15 I have a question.

Speaker 41 It's a bubble.

Speaker 25 If they were to get swept, or say they lose in five.

Speaker 26 Are we at this point?

Speaker 17 Jason Tatum is 22. Jalen Brown is 23.

Speaker 38 Are they very young? They're still very young.

Speaker 61 Are we sure the Heat might not just win the NBA championship?

Speaker 20 I've thought about it.

Speaker 15 What the fuck?

Speaker 29 They lost one time in the game.

Speaker 15 Once? Now, once.

Speaker 32 That was one game.

Speaker 1 And that was when Giannis went out and they didn't know how to play defense.

Speaker 17 That's right. Out of coincidence, I've been tweeting out updated Jimmy Butler power rankings after every win that they have.

Speaker 3 You better get to one.

Speaker 17 I just looked at the remaining schedule. If the Heat win the NBA championship, Jimmy Butler will be the number one NBA player.

Speaker 4 That's what we do every summer.

Speaker 34 Let's go.

Speaker 50 Kawhi was number one for a while.

Speaker 67 Yeah.

Speaker 48 LeBron's been number one.

Speaker 21 Jaybutt.

Speaker 17 And I know you think that I'm being a little bit of a troll with the Jimmy Butler look. Oh, for sure.

Speaker 17 I actually really like Jimmy Butler a lot.

Speaker 66 I have pulled a 180.

Speaker 17 Credit to me for appreciating Jimmy Butler and loving. You know what? I needed the bubble.
I needed Jimmy Butler's shirt.

Speaker 17 The bubble mentality to just come out, smack me in my face, and slap some sense into me. But I actually really do like Jimmy Butler now.

Speaker 59 Okay.

Speaker 38 All right.

Speaker 62 Yeah, I'm wearing a shirt.

Speaker 38 I'm around. I spent

Speaker 17 all this money on a Jimmy Butler shirt.

Speaker 68 He's very, very good.

Speaker 40 All right.

Speaker 36 So that is our NBA talk. Okay, Hank?

Speaker 70 Okay. You good?

Speaker 24 Yeah. Let's talk some football.

Speaker 51 Fucking shootout tonight.

Speaker 72 This actually, I'm declaring this Browns-Bengles game, both teams won.

Speaker 69 Yeah.

Speaker 48 The Browns won, saved their season. They needed to win.

Speaker 42 They needed to look good after, I mean, they played the Ravens.

Speaker 24 The Ravens are fucking awesome.

Speaker 73 And the Bengals, confirmed, have their guy, which is the greatest feeling in all of football when you can say to yourself, we've got our guy.

Speaker 17 Yeah, Joe Burrow looks awesome out there.

Speaker 38 Joe Butler. Joe Butler.

Speaker 17 Joe Burrow looks really good out there. And yeah, you're right.
They can lose every game this season as long as Joe goes out and throws two touchdowns, one interception, 300 yards.

Speaker 17 I think Bengals fans will be like, yeah, we weren't going to win anything this year, no matter what. I'm declaring that the winner of this game gets to claim the color orange in the NFL.

Speaker 17 So it looks like that's going to be the Browns right now.

Speaker 69 The Bengals are going for an all-time backdoor cover here.

Speaker 6 We'll see if they can get it.

Speaker 63 So we're watching the last minute and a half.

Speaker 13 We also had Joe Buck Tears, Joe Bucking in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 17 David Baker showed up.

Speaker 74 Dude, David Baker,

Speaker 58 this is going to date us, but he's the Jerry Maguire, you know, the interviewer who would make everyone cry.

Speaker 73 He just goes around making dudes cry.

Speaker 17 Barbara Walters back in the day, when he shows up, the waterworks, they're going to start to flow with somebody.

Speaker 17 I like how Troy Aikman was there to be kind of the shoulder that Joe Buck leans on when he finds out he's making it to the Hall of Fame. I'd just like to say, Joe, if you don't have

Speaker 17 your induction ceremony speaker picked out, we'll do it. I don't think we have anything going on that weekend.
We'll have to check the schedule.

Speaker 21 Slash, Joe, make sure the fucking plugs look good that day because there'll be a lot of picks.

Speaker 17 Also, Mancard, Joe, you cried on national TV. A disgusting act.

Speaker 28 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 63 Absolutely. Can't show that type of weakness.
Skip Bayless.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's do our weekend preview.

Speaker 42 We'll go through all of the games, rapid fire,

Speaker 42 tell you what we think, and then we have some picks as well.

Speaker 6 We are brought to you by...

Speaker 17 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 17 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 17 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 17 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 6 Uh, okay, let's do it.

Speaker 71 Let's go rapid fire.

Speaker 36 We'll go through the games, say Say whatever you think.

Speaker 13 Anyone can chime in, and then we will get to our picks.

Speaker 62 Joe Burrow, backdoor cover.

Speaker 52 Nope, not.

Speaker 21 No, we're still waiting for it.

Speaker 76 Giants at Bears.

Speaker 34 Giants at Bears.

Speaker 17 Bears are back. I'll say it for you.
I think that the Bears win this game by 10 points.

Speaker 72 I'm very nervous for this game, but I'm nervous for every Bears game.

Speaker 1 I am nervous because,

Speaker 6 like I said on Sunday, the Lions, it was more about the Lions' implosion than the Bears.

Speaker 65 So we'll see.

Speaker 7 This is a big Mitch momentum game.

Speaker 53 Also, if he can do well here, then

Speaker 6 the real feelings.

Speaker 17 If Mitch throws every pass like he threw that touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, then I think the Bears have a real chance here. Also, Giants coming off a short week.
Tell yourself that.

Speaker 17 Remind yourself of that. Yeah, short week.

Speaker 17 Joe Judge looked like he was in a little bit over his head.

Speaker 55 Yep.

Speaker 17 A lot of extra laps were ran after that.

Speaker 17 I wish that they kept a camera on the field after that game to see if he did the old Miracle on Ice, made his players do wind sprints on the field after the game.

Speaker 72 Yes.

Speaker 17 Would not put it past Joe Judge really to do anything.

Speaker 17 I don't necessarily think that he's sane, but I think that he's a football coach.

Speaker 63 He is a big-time football coach. So that

Speaker 68 this will determine my happiness for a while here because, like I said, if the Bears play well and Mitch plays well, I will be full-on believer mode.

Speaker 2 Falcons, Cowboys.

Speaker 12 This actually kind of is our loser-leaves town game of the week because, oh, Joe, oh, PFT only.

Speaker 17 Joe Burrow with backdoor cover.

Speaker 38 There we go.

Speaker 23 There we go.

Speaker 21 Joe's bet looks impossibly smart.

Speaker 6 We've got to wait for the confirmation.

Speaker 17 That looked good from here, Big Cat. I'm going to call it.
I'm going to say at those points. Give me the eyes.

Speaker 4 Give me the eyes.

Speaker 17 Two hands on the ball. One foot down.

Speaker 17 Two foot down.

Speaker 42 This is electric radio.

Speaker 17 And he holds on to it, maintains it.

Speaker 17 He survives the ground, Big Cat.

Speaker 51 He has a Fat Randy on the edge.

Speaker 67 Oh, my God, Fat Randy.

Speaker 1 We didn't even mention Fat Randy, the comeback story of the year.

Speaker 64 3 for 3.

Speaker 1 He might win comeback player of the year after that injury week one going 3 for 3.

Speaker 17 After both those injuries. Yes.
I think that Fat Randy

Speaker 17 overcame more tonight than Willis Reed ever dreamt of. Yes.
Just an insanely gutty performance from our guy.

Speaker 48 This is going to be electric, Fat Randy.

Speaker 15 That talks to me.

Speaker 20 You fat fuck.

Speaker 4 You better fucking hit this.

Speaker 61 Oh, my God.

Speaker 6 Fat Randy. The snap is good.

Speaker 17 The hold is good. The kick is good.

Speaker 17 That could not have been more down the middle.

Speaker 17 He split the uprights like it was a wishbone.

Speaker 58 Never a doubt, baby.

Speaker 46 Never a doubt.

Speaker 27 I'm going to remind me.

Speaker 13 Billy, remind me after the show.

Speaker 49 I got to go retweet everyone who called me an idiot for betting on the Bengals.

Speaker 62 Okay.

Speaker 59 But yeah, so Falcons, Cowboys.

Speaker 17 Falcons, Cowboys.

Speaker 61 Loser-Leaves Town game.

Speaker 17 The exact same team playing against each other. The Falcons, as we said,

Speaker 17 they are the Turbo Cowboys. They're everything that the Cowboys are, but just magnified.

Speaker 4 Oh, I actually think maybe the Cowboys are the Turbo Falcons.

Speaker 3 You think they flipped it off?

Speaker 15 Yes, yes.

Speaker 17 Okay, so this game is the battle of who's the Cowboys and who's the Falcons. Right.

Speaker 17 So if the Falcons lose in like a 30-27 game, I'm going to say that the Falcons become the Cowboys and the Cowboys become the Falcons.

Speaker 4 And if the Cowboys lose like

Speaker 18 42 to 32,

Speaker 51 the Cowboys are now the Falcons and the Falcons are the Cowboys.

Speaker 37 Correct. Yeah.

Speaker 15 Okay. All right.

Speaker 72 So we'll find out on Sunday who becomes the Falcons and who is the Cowboys.

Speaker 50 I'm done with the Falcons.

Speaker 59 No, you're not. Yep.

Speaker 17 We go through this every single year. I am done.
You cannot quit. Verbal meme, broke back mountain poster, big cat saying to the dirty bird,

Speaker 28 I can't quit you.

Speaker 21 Still win.

Speaker 22 No, Billy, come on, learn football, dude.

Speaker 54 Billy doesn't know. Okay, no, they can't.

Speaker 20 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 40 Lions-Packers.

Speaker 49 This is all about the Lions, like whether they have any cornerbacks or not.

Speaker 6 If their cornerbacks are healthy, they could maybe have a puncher's chance.

Speaker 49 If they don't, Aaron Rodgers is going to have another unbelievable game.

Speaker 70 And

Speaker 6 Aaron Rodgers, is Aaron Rodgers the pettiest person in the world? The fact that he's going to probably be like, he's going to have an MVP year just because they drafted Jordan Love.

Speaker 32 And I've already heard the take that the Packers, like a real, not joking take, that the Packers drafted Jordan Love knowing that it got them a better Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 17 To light a fire on him. Right.
I would say that's not far.

Speaker 28 That's not far off.

Speaker 15 They've not drafted anyone.

Speaker 17 That's not far off. It's not just the fact that they drafted Jordan Love, the fact that they did not draft him a wide receiver.
Right.

Speaker 17 But like we've said, this is petty Aaron Rodgers, where if he has great wide receivers all around him, I think he actually performs better with no-name guys because then it's like, oh, oh, look what Aaron Rodgers is doing again with these same like undrafted or like late-round pick wide receivers.

Speaker 17 Isn't he just the greatest? That's the narrative that starts up around him.

Speaker 17 So, yeah, Aaron Rodgers possibly, I'd say he's in the running, maybe with our boss for one of the like pettiest revenge grudge people of all time.

Speaker 6 Aaron Rodgers got, imagine Aaron Rodgers has a champagne bottle for Jordan Love sitting in his locker room. Yeah.
In his locker.

Speaker 42 I've done that twice today.

Speaker 63 In his locker, and Jordan Love just has to stare at it every day, like, why is my name on that champagne bottle?

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 17 When you die,

Speaker 17 I will pop this. I would not be surprised if he did.
So I think that the Aaron Rodgers revenge tour against his own team continues.

Speaker 18 It really is, though, just the injury report.

Speaker 65 If Galladay plays, difference.

Speaker 6 Like, Galladay out and both of their, and all their cornerbacks out, this is not even going to be a close game.

Speaker 17 Galladay's a sweet name, too. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Jaguars, Titans, pass.

Speaker 28 Whoa. Vikings, Colts.

Speaker 17 We should at least say with the Jags-Titans game, this should be played on a Thursday night.

Speaker 17 We should not be watching this on a Sunday. This is a Thursday night football game.
It should be played in England even on a Thursday night.

Speaker 78 They shouldn't play it in England. They should just play it on England time.

Speaker 32 We should just get to watch this game at 9 a.m.

Speaker 45 Agreed.

Speaker 43 But it's Nashville time.

Speaker 17 Yeah, and you know what? It just doesn't slap the same when it's not Blake and Marcus Mariota.

Speaker 15 Pass.

Speaker 36 Only 1 p.m.

Speaker 57 game between 1-0 teams.

Speaker 70 Whoa. Oh, shit.

Speaker 17 There we go. So is that record scratch? Is that the game of the weekend?

Speaker 79 Is Jim Nance calling this game?

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 20 All right.

Speaker 4 We have Vikings, Colts next.

Speaker 19 I think the Vikings are very bad.

Speaker 17 I think they're worse than they looked last week. I think the Colts are better than they looked last week.

Speaker 17 I'm going to hold off judgment on this because Jim Mercy has not announced if the roof will be open or not.

Speaker 35 Hank, shaking your head.

Speaker 44 Moneyline dog of the week.

Speaker 70 Okay.

Speaker 20 Also,

Speaker 6 Xavier Rhodes, who's now on the Colts, who's been old for like five years. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Nice little fun storyline to watch.

Speaker 42 He used to go

Speaker 58 man up Adam Thielen in practice.

Speaker 12 So does he know his moves?

Speaker 17 Okay, yeah, that's a good storyline. Also, Kirk Cousins playing against the person that Kirk Cousins wishes that he was, Phillip Rivers.

Speaker 12 The best version of Kirk Cousins is Phillip Rivers.

Speaker 40 Absolutely.

Speaker 17 Kirk Cousins, he's working on the whole no-cussing thing. I think he probably lets a couple dams and maybe even a few hells slip here and there.
He's working his way to becoming Phillip Rivers.

Speaker 17 So that's something to keep an eye on.

Speaker 17 That's going to be a fun battle to watch. I still think that the Minnesota Vikings defense is going to figure it out.
They're going to be really good.

Speaker 6 They're young.

Speaker 19 And I know Mike Zimmer, but they're young.

Speaker 63 Well, right now they're missing a lot of guys, but they're also very young in the secondary.

Speaker 42 I don't know.

Speaker 63 I just think it's going to be a bad year for the Vikings.

Speaker 72 Bills, Dolphins.

Speaker 17 Wait, wait, before we move on, did everybody here see the Jim Ursay video today? Yes. The pump-up video that he put out where he was standing behind the bench press.

Speaker 17 Very obviously, somebody else had been lifting there, but he was wearing his hernia belt, and he was just giving a pump-up speech.

Speaker 17 The way that he had the weights racked on that bench press was insane. He had two 35-pound plates on each side and then on the outside of that, a 45-pound plate.
Are you telling me?

Speaker 17 I can't do the math that fast, but that's what? 300

Speaker 66 billion pounds. 15 pounds? He's a piece.

Speaker 62 He's like that.

Speaker 17 Dude, I was like, dude, Jim Merce.

Speaker 22 Built different.

Speaker 17 Built different. Built different.

Speaker 3 That's true.

Speaker 17 I think his liver could probably bench 350.

Speaker 79 A lot of him is built different. Yeah.

Speaker 72 Bills, Dolphins.

Speaker 15 Just start Tua.

Speaker 17 Agreed.

Speaker 51 Just start Tua. Bills are going to win.

Speaker 80 49ers Jets.

Speaker 17 Jets think. 49ers.

Speaker 17 PFT. 49ers by 12.5.
PFT.

Speaker 12 I kind of like the Jets here.

Speaker 17 You think the Jets are frisky at home? Did you not see the dressing down that Greene gave Adam Gase earlier today?

Speaker 39 That's the thing I know about the NFL.

Speaker 7 If you tell yourself in your gut that this team could potentially be the worst team in the league, and it's like week two or three,

Speaker 63 time to take them.

Speaker 48 because everyone's having the same thought, and everyone's betting the 49ers.

Speaker 21 And we don't know if our friend Greg Kittle is going to play.

Speaker 13 We don't know what Jimmy Garoppol looks like.

Speaker 64 A little west-to-east action.

Speaker 17 Yeah, it's just saying. It's a west-to-east early game.
I'll give you that.

Speaker 72 Richard Sherman's out.

Speaker 61 I'm just saying.

Speaker 17 I just think, just based off reputation alone, the Jets are going to lose this. The Jets are going to score negative 10 points somehow.

Speaker 6 I'll say it right now: this is going to be my dog of the week.

Speaker 12 It's the hold your nose.

Speaker 33 This is disgusting.

Speaker 6 You're going to hate yourself at like 1.35

Speaker 33 on Sunday when it's 17 the three 49ers, but you're not dead yet.

Speaker 72 I don't know.

Speaker 48 Rams, Eagles,

Speaker 12 this is, Eagles need this win.

Speaker 17 It's close to a loser leaves town game.

Speaker 48 I just, the Carson Wentz,

Speaker 72 it's getting hot in here.

Speaker 17 Yeah, it's getting really stinky in Philadelphia right now.

Speaker 17 There will be people calling for Carson Wentz and his head on a platter

Speaker 17 if he loses this game. It's already happening.
For sure.

Speaker 17 The Rams, I think, are better even than they looked last week. I think the Rams are going to be good this week or this year.
I think they're going to be spicy.

Speaker 17 I think our boy Jay Goff is figuring it out.

Speaker 51 Oh, yeah. Hell yeah.
Jay Goff.

Speaker 25 Broncos, Steelers.

Speaker 34 I mean, I don't have to tell you I love the Steelers every single week.

Speaker 48 By the way, this will be for

Speaker 42 people who are gambling on the Barstool Sportsbook app this weekend.

Speaker 48 The Eagles and the Steelers spreads are going to be boosted.

Speaker 12 So you're going to get, I think it's like, don't quote me on this.

Speaker 63 It might be plus 200.

Speaker 12 Is that right, Hank?

Speaker 58 I can't remember.

Speaker 19 But just know that if you want to bet on the spread, if you're an Eagles or Steelers fan, you will get extra money if you bet on your team with the Barcelona Sportsbook cap.

Speaker 17 Now, with the Rams, are they the team that has to travel to Philadelphia and then they have to travel again to the East Coast next week? Because they're making a big deal out of that already.

Speaker 17 It's either the Niners or the Rams. And I love little stupid travel notes like this.
I'm not going to get us that, Jake.

Speaker 17 Because I guess in the past, those teams would have just stayed on the East Coast for the entire week.

Speaker 44 Yeah, they're playing the Bills next week.

Speaker 38 Okay.

Speaker 17 The Rams. Yeah, there we go.
So the Rams,

Speaker 17 is the looming travel going to be playing a mental factor in this game?

Speaker 54 I would say definitely.

Speaker 14 I like that.

Speaker 37 Or you could go the other way.

Speaker 42 After they beat the Eagles, then the Rams, if they do stay on the East Coast, it's like it's another training camp.

Speaker 64 I love that.

Speaker 77 When the team stays together, they're like, oh, this is a second training camp for us.

Speaker 17 Yeah, one of the teams usually gets that resort in West Virginia in the middle of nowhere. Which to get to that place probably takes longer than it would to fly back to Los Angeles.
Yes. Jake.

Speaker 57 Courtesy of Jordan Roderick of the Athletic. The Rams will travel day before for both back-to-back road trips the next two weeks.
Initial plan was to stay on the East Coast for two weeks, but COVID.

Speaker 62 Yeah, we're going to hear more about that.

Speaker 2 Did you just find like there has to be East Stanley?

Speaker 69 Can't buy him a compound.

Speaker 38 Maybe testing.

Speaker 22 They have like the labs or whatever.

Speaker 38 You're right.

Speaker 17 East Stanley Cronky should be... He should have a portable bubble.
Yeah. He's got enough money.
I don't buy it.

Speaker 43 I don't buy it. Cheap move, East Stanley.

Speaker 13 Just scratch it.

Speaker 17 Bring a dome with you, Stan.

Speaker 6 I love the Steelers.

Speaker 34 I actually might put a future on the Steelers to win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 42 That's how much I love the Steelers. And we're going to get to bigger than Ben later, but that defense, fucks, and Big Ben is back.

Speaker 63 I love the Steelers.

Speaker 51 Panthers, Bucs.

Speaker 63 I think Tom Brady's going to eat this week, and everyone's going to be like, oh, my God, Tom Brady's back.

Speaker 17 Yeah, Bruce Arians did the classic Bruce Arians thing where he just spent the entire week making fun of Tom Brady to the press. He went at him.
He went at him. And that's what Bruce does.

Speaker 17 Bruce is usually two to three cocktails deep before he gets in front of any microphone. And I think Tom probably knew that something like that was probably going to happen.

Speaker 17 But you know that Belichick was watching from New England and just laughing.

Speaker 17 As much as you hated me at the end of this, you knew

Speaker 17 I would never talk to a reporter about you. I would talk to your family.
I would probably berate you to your own children. Yes.
But

Speaker 17 I wouldn't say that to anybody with a keyboard in front of me.

Speaker 63 I would belittle you and make you feel like the smallest person in the world during film study, but never.

Speaker 17 publicly. So Bruce is probably the opposite.
Bruce probably treats Brady pretty nicely during any sort of film breakdown.

Speaker 6 Which I think Brady probably is pissed off about.

Speaker 35 He's like, give it to me.

Speaker 11 Give it to me hard, Bruce.

Speaker 26 Right.

Speaker 53 Like, give me the fucking truth.

Speaker 15 Yeah, slap me.

Speaker 17 Spank me, daddy. Choke me.

Speaker 21 Don't tell me I was good.

Speaker 34 Yeah, make me do the forced luck luck.

Speaker 6 Oh, Brady definitely gets off by being yelled at in film study when he fucks up.

Speaker 17 I think anybody that's that successful and that powerful absolutely has a little bit of that kink to them. It's like, I can't get this at work.
You got to give it to me on the side.

Speaker 40 All right, Chiefs.

Speaker 32 Or sorry, Washington football team, Cardinals.

Speaker 5 This is is going to be the Are They For Real game.

Speaker 53 Yeah. This is my Are They For Real game.

Speaker 32 Because if the Washington football team wins this game, I think you have to put them in the semi-for-real. Actually, it's the semi-for-real game because I also would say the same for the Cardinals.

Speaker 6 If the Cardinals win this game, they're semi-for-real. Now we're talking playoff team, like, hey, can they make some noise?

Speaker 72 Not complete, but something.

Speaker 17 I think one of the stats said that Washington football had the best defense in the entire NFL through week one, which is to be expected when you get eight stats. Yeah, right.

Speaker 17 I think I want to say it was their DVOA ranking, but I'm not 100% sure. But again, we have

Speaker 62 the worst offense.

Speaker 17 We've outlawed numbers on this show. So I'm just going to...
They passed the eyeball test last week. I'll put it that way.

Speaker 50 I think they had like four,

Speaker 18 maybe even four, less than four yards per play on offense.

Speaker 50 So it's win-ugly.

Speaker 17 Okay, how many points did they have?

Speaker 64 I know, win-ugions. Enough.

Speaker 17 A win-ugly. They had enough points.
But yeah,

Speaker 17 that front line of the Washington defense is insane. They are the Falcons with their front seven.
They've got, I want to say, like five first-round picks out of seven.

Speaker 15 Chase Chargers is insane.

Speaker 17 Chase Young's awesome. Ryan Kerrigan.

Speaker 17 I would say, I think that the entire team should grow out Dreadlocks, like Chase Young, like the Predator himself. I like that.
Especially Ryan Kerrigan.

Speaker 12 All right, Chiefs, Chargers.

Speaker 31 This one, if so, this is going to be the don't overthink it game of the week for me.

Speaker 34 Because you're going to look at a stat on Sunday morning, and it's going to be 98% of the money is on the Chiefs, right?

Speaker 33 It's going to be something ridiculous.

Speaker 43 And you'll be like, well, contrarian, got to take the Chargers.

Speaker 12 Let me ask you this.

Speaker 78 When the Chiefs go up,

Speaker 35 let's say 10-0 to start the game, is Tyrod Taylor going to bring you back?

Speaker 17 Yeah. I've been thinking this about Tyrod for a while.
Tyrod, excuse me.

Speaker 17 He is the epitome of an average quarterback, but he's somehow worse than an average quarterback.

Speaker 65 Well, because here's what he is.

Speaker 12 He doesn't make the mistakes that bad quarterbacks make.

Speaker 73 Like, he won't give you the egregious interception.

Speaker 36 You know, like bad Fitzpatrick last week when he's throwing three picks.

Speaker 50 He won't fumble the ball.

Speaker 6 He won't take like horrendous sacks.

Speaker 12 He just won't do anything.

Speaker 7 He will just pass it underneath, and you'll just punt every single time.

Speaker 17 Yeah, he is a rebound. Tarad is the rebound quarterback that you take right after you get done with a crazy person that just fucks your brains out.

Speaker 17 Tarad's going to come in, might be a little bit stable for a little bit. Just get you a sense of normalcy.

Speaker 17 You look at him and you're like, that is a NFL quarterback playing the quarterback position, but you'd never think to yourself, like, Tarad's going to win us this game.

Speaker 12 He's maddening because he doesn't screw up.

Speaker 2 You know, you want your bad quarterback to be visibly bad.

Speaker 4 You want to be like, this guy sucks.

Speaker 19 I fucking hate him.

Speaker 74 But he doesn't do anything that can let you say that.

Speaker 17 He just kind of stinks. Here's the thing about Taurad.
He is the epitome of a backup quarterback. He should have like a 20-year career as a backup.

Speaker 17 The problem with Taurad is he gets put in situations where he has to be the starter. He's like a Kyle Orton.

Speaker 17 Yeah, he's like the

Speaker 17 Chaz Whitehurst. He's a guy that should be a great backup.

Speaker 17 If he was a backup, he'd probably be like a top-five backup in the NFL, but he just gets asked to start too much.

Speaker 63 He did get the Bills to the playoffs that time, and then they played the most boring playoff game of all time.

Speaker 11 Did they lose 7-0 in that game?

Speaker 15 Am I remembering that correctly?

Speaker 38 10 Jaguars? Maybe.

Speaker 15 That was worthy of the game. It was a windy game.

Speaker 17 It was a windy game.

Speaker 1 That was such a bad game.

Speaker 6 Holy shit, was that a bad game?

Speaker 32 All right, so that's Chiefs, Chargers.

Speaker 16 I'm just take the Chiefs.

Speaker 43 10-3. 10-3.

Speaker 17 Okay. Oh, and you know what? It's going to be on that fast turf.
Chargers' first game on the fast turf.

Speaker 17 I didn't realize this when we were making our picks and our over-unders.

Speaker 17 The over-under on that game is 47 points. Fast turf.
On that turf, you might get that in the first half.

Speaker 43 The problem is the Chargers may not score.

Speaker 17 That's fine. 40.
I'm taking that into account with my advanced saber metrics. Yes.
I think the Chiefs might drop 100 on them. Ravens, Texans,

Speaker 13 Bill O'Brien's going to be coaching for his job soon.

Speaker 17 Which one? The GM job or the head coaching job?

Speaker 31 Well, Bill O'Brien, the GM, might fire Bill O'Brien, the coach.

Speaker 17 See, I've been thinking about that. There's always a chance you hear about a coach giving somebody else GM duties if it comes down to that.
This might go the other way. Why not?

Speaker 17 Bill O'Brien might actually just say, you know what, my heart, my passion is in fucking up rosters.

Speaker 17 So I'm willing to step away from coaching on the sidelines and bring somebody else in to deal with all my shit.

Speaker 49 If he just did a press conference, he's like, I don't like the direction of this football team, the way we're playing games, the way we're losing games, we need a coach in there who's more disciplined,

Speaker 49 who's more creative.

Speaker 37 Yeah.

Speaker 13 And then he says, and for that reason, I, Bill O'Brien, general manager of the Texans, is firing Bill O'Brien, head coach of the Texans.

Speaker 17 I would love to see it. It's the opposite of Bill Parcels when he was in Dallas and said, if you're going to ask me to cook dinner, then at least let me shop for the groceries.

Speaker 17 Bill O'Brien is Instacart. Bill O'Brien is like, my passion truly lies in going to the grocery store, shopping in the Kroger, and then dropping the bags off at your front door.

Speaker 20 Yes.

Speaker 35 Social distancing delivery.

Speaker 6 I'll just ring the doorbell for you.

Speaker 17 Yeah, here are two running backs named Johnson. Go whip something up.

Speaker 6 We joke about this all the time, but it is true.

Speaker 42 An NFL coach can keep their job for many different reasons, but the best way to do it, one is obviously drafting a quarterback and then not playing them and then having them be a project and then saying, well, I got to work with them.

Speaker 69 They're my guy.

Speaker 13 But the other one is giving yourself so many jobs that you can shuffle the deck at all times.

Speaker 73 So the GM coach is a nice safety blanket for Bill O'Brien because he can step away from the GM, start

Speaker 58 play calling, then step away from the play calling and focus on coaching.

Speaker 39 He can just keep shuffling the deck and no one will notice. Absolutely.

Speaker 17 He might move the team. He might move the team to Tennessee.
Guess what? We're moving the Texans. They're going to be the Nashville Texans.

Speaker 64 We should write a book about

Speaker 11 a short book, How to Keep Your Job in the NFL for as long as possible.

Speaker 17 I think we know all the tricks.

Speaker 37 We really do.

Speaker 17 Moving the franchise and being that voice of stability, that is the best thing that you could possibly, that buys you three more years.

Speaker 70 Yes, yes, absolutely.

Speaker 80 I don't want to.

Speaker 50 Having like your owner die is also good.

Speaker 66 Yeah, because

Speaker 48 the old legend of the team of the franchise die, like an old legend.

Speaker 17 You know what he should do?

Speaker 15 If you can't fire someone during that.

Speaker 17 If the owner of the team dies and then he volunteers to help the new owner with the coaching service, interviews everybody, and then he decides that, you know what, I'm the best person for the job.

Speaker 17 That's the old Dick Cheney.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 17 How he became vice president. It's a genius way.

Speaker 20 All right, last one. Hank, I'll let you go.

Speaker 25 Patriots Seahawks Sunday night football.

Speaker 58 We'll be in Philly.

Speaker 12 It's going to be exciting.

Speaker 76 What do you think?

Speaker 17 Patriots by seven.

Speaker 38 Okay. Wow.

Speaker 17 I like the confidence. I can't wait to see what Cam wears to the stadium.
That's going to be... I was thinking about that because last week they played one of the early games.

Speaker 17 So we got to see what he was wearing, like when we woke up. That was part of our pregame.
Oh, look at Cam.

Speaker 17 He's wearing the banana suit on the way in. He's wearing the bright yellow double-breasted piece.
What time are we going to get to see what Cam is wearing to this game?

Speaker 17 Is it going to be like 3 o'clock in the afternoon?

Speaker 44 I feel like they usually show that during, well, I guess, I don't know, because it's not promoted on the same networks, but they usually show it during the 4 o'clock game.

Speaker 38 Like, here comes.

Speaker 44 Well, I guess that's what they do if they're showing like a double header on CBS. They'll show the players arriving for the late game.
Uh-huh.

Speaker 44 But I feel like sometime in that 4 o'clock, 5 o'clock window.

Speaker 17 One of these games, he's just going to show up wearing that the speedo that Sasha Baron Cohn wore and borat. Everyone's going to lose their mind.

Speaker 11 Yeah, that would be so fucking funny.

Speaker 17 All I'm saying for this game is if we don't get somebody tossing a fish in Pike Place Market as the B-roll, we riot. We need that in Seattle.
It's been

Speaker 17 because they got onto the joke for a while and then they thought that the internet was making fun of them, which we kind of were, but it's kind of comforting to see that. Yes.

Speaker 17 Just the dude tossing like a full salmon across the marketplace. They stopped doing it the last couple years.
We need that Sunday night football.

Speaker 76 So can I

Speaker 21 not to be a downer for Seahawks fans right now, but can I give you a hilarious quote from Pete Carroll after Russell Wilson's game on Sunday?

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Russell Wilson threw four touchdowns, basically had a perfect game.

Speaker 70 The let Russ Cook

Speaker 21 bullying online finally worked.

Speaker 26 They let Russ throw the ball more.

Speaker 55 Afterwards, unfortunately, Pete Carroll was like, that's not the game plan.

Speaker 6 He said seven and six carries wasn't enough for our guys, and we need to get more. We were at 20 runs.

Speaker 19 We want to get more than that in general.

Speaker 13 But when Russ was completing every pass, we weren't discouraged about moving the football.

Speaker 50 But we love running the ball.

Speaker 48 We always have, and those guys will get more carries as we move down through the schedule.

Speaker 74 Essentially, Pete Carroll was saying

Speaker 24 our game plan was to still not have Russell Wilson throw the ball a bunch, but he was just so good, we couldn't stop throwing the ball.

Speaker 17 Yeah, he prevented us from doing what we were.

Speaker 17 He stopped me from doing something really dumb.

Speaker 38 Here's why.

Speaker 28 Belichick's playing mind games, too.

Speaker 2 Like, dude, you realize that

Speaker 32 everyone was applauding Pete Carroll on Sunday.

Speaker 77 Like, they finally let Russ cook, and then he gets in front of the podium.

Speaker 32 He's like, we hated our game plan today.

Speaker 12 That was atrocious what we did.

Speaker 44 Belichick basically called him the best player in the league today, probably sowing some division because he said, I think he's underrated by the media or the fans, but I really don't see anybody better than this player.

Speaker 44 Seattle.

Speaker 17 Seattle.

Speaker 44 So now Russell Wilson is going to be like, even Belichick knows I should cook.

Speaker 37 I just love that Pete Carroll was disappointed that they didn't run the ball in a game where Russell Wilson was like positively sublime.

Speaker 17 Pete Carroll is going to absolutely revert back to his old ways because we're getting Pete Carroll at night. And Pete Carroll at night is the very essence of Pete Carroll.

Speaker 17 The gum is going to be smacking. The strut's going to be happening.
Hopefully we can get a little mist in the air so he's glowing on the outside.

Speaker 17 I think he gets younger at night. Yes.
He looks like he's no older than 53 at night. And then during the daytime, he ages all the way up to like 55, 56.

Speaker 63 He gets a little like pop in his knee that's just beautiful to watch.

Speaker 64 What do you got?

Speaker 83 How do we know that Pete Carroll isn't trying to play mind games with Belichick by making him think he's going to run the ball?

Speaker 59 I don't know.

Speaker 17 I don't think that Pete Carroll is a conspiracy guy, Belo.

Speaker 54 Pete Carroll.

Speaker 63 He's not a truther. Yeah.
Remember, he's a twin.

Speaker 54 Twins are weird. That's true.

Speaker 18 All right, let's get to our picks.

Speaker 40 So, Barcelona Sportsbook app.

Speaker 43 If you're in Pennsylvania, you can bet starting Friday afternoon. If you're not, you can still download it.

Speaker 7 We're going going to be in more states as we go down the calendar.

Speaker 58 We'll have a plan there.

Speaker 5 All right, quickly, let's do it.

Speaker 12 Underdog, I'll take the Jets plus seven PFT.

Speaker 17 I have the Washington football team, and this is my bird alert of the week. I'm putting the

Speaker 11 you can't do Washington football team. Do they always play birds?

Speaker 17 No, I just, it just so happens.

Speaker 73 I think they're what's their schedule?

Speaker 40 Do they have birds just non-stop?

Speaker 17 They are the bird hunters.

Speaker 37 Yeah.

Speaker 17 First-degree birder at 1600. The Washington football team is going to take out a second flock this week.
Wow.

Speaker 21 Hank. Vikings.
Vikings.

Speaker 48 I'm going to take the under in the Jets game as well, 42.

Speaker 37 PFT.

Speaker 17 I have the under in Jags Titans, 44.

Speaker 55 Hank, also Vikings.

Speaker 13 I'm going to take the over in the Packers game, hoping that the Lions don't have any secondary over 49.

Speaker 17 Over New England at Seattle, 44.5.

Speaker 17 Rematch of the Super Bowl as well. How many times are we going to see the replay of that in season?

Speaker 15 A lot. Yes.
Hank? Well, I'm sorry.

Speaker 17 Must credit Matt Patricia. Yes.

Speaker 44 Bills, Dolphins, Josh Allen, going off.

Speaker 13 Bills, Dolphins.

Speaker 70 Oh, okay.

Speaker 48 And then my favorite's going to be the Chiefs.

Speaker 72 Don't think, just throw.

Speaker 17 My favorite is the Colts. Colts aren't as bad.

Speaker 17 They're not as good as people think.

Speaker 32 Hank versus PFT.

Speaker 44 And I was going to have the Chiefs as well.

Speaker 20 Okay. All right.

Speaker 53 So those are our picks.

Speaker 32 I have the can't lose parlay. We also have PFT has some props coming on Sunday night.

Speaker 17 Yeah, the props for tonight. Those are going to come out, I think, on Saturday.

Speaker 60 Saturday loaded.

Speaker 17 You're going to actually be able to bet on them on the Barcelona Sports Sports book. So

Speaker 17 they're fun little props.

Speaker 72 I've seen them.

Speaker 71 They look awesome. Actually, you know what? Just fuck it.

Speaker 26 Give one.

Speaker 15 Give one. Give one.

Speaker 35 Give a tease of one.

Speaker 53 Okay, I'm going to give it.

Speaker 6 No odds.

Speaker 35 Just give one.

Speaker 17 Run the jewels. Julian Edelman over under half a rushing attempt.
Run the jewels prop of the week. Love it.
I'm not going to give what the odds are. They're pretty even odds on it.

Speaker 17 I think he's going to get it carried.

Speaker 3 Okay, I love it.

Speaker 68 So that will be there.

Speaker 6 I also have invented a new bet that's coming out on Saturday night that will be there for Sunday. So get excited for that.

Speaker 13 And then I have my can't lose parlay.

Speaker 50 You ready for it? Hit me.

Speaker 2 Can't lose parlay.

Speaker 12 Did lose last week, but let's be honest, it can't lose.

Speaker 72 This one's special because this one

Speaker 12 is plus 400 at the Barshool Sportsbook.

Speaker 22 Plus 400.

Speaker 54 Cowboys?

Speaker 22 Okay.

Speaker 56 Bears?

Speaker 37 Okay. You love the Bears.

Speaker 17 I do like the Bears a lot this weekend, yes. Bills.

Speaker 22 Uh-huh.

Speaker 48 And then just sit back and watch the Chiefs win.

Speaker 17 Okay, the Chiefs, that's free.

Speaker 15 Free. Yeah.

Speaker 15 That's what I chief.

Speaker 39 What I like to do is I like to do the three, one o'clock.

Speaker 17 Because the Chiefs can't lose.

Speaker 6 Right, and you just throw in the four o'clock, so it's just a little extra, and then you can sit back and be like, Well, everyone's sweating out eight and a half.

Speaker 22 You're like, Well, I have them plus 400.

Speaker 17 You already won your parlay, right? Yeah, and now you get to watch that just as a coronation. It cannot lose, the Chiefs can't lose, it can't lose.

Speaker 17 And then when you add that to the other games that also can't lose, you get a can't lose parlay.

Speaker 58 Remember to gamble responsibly, and it could lose, but it cannot lose.

Speaker 64 It can't lose. It says it in the name.

Speaker 1 So it's 0-1 this year, but that was a fluke.

Speaker 17 Aberration.

Speaker 58 Week one, can't lose parlay.

Speaker 80 You know what it was?

Speaker 19 I didn't put enough gas in the car.

Speaker 45 I got in the car.

Speaker 46 I turned the key.

Speaker 25 There wasn't enough gas in the car for the can't lose parlay.

Speaker 17 I gassed it up plus 400.

Speaker 38 So you didn't have a pretty preseason.

Speaker 14 Right.

Speaker 17 You had your preseason week one.

Speaker 80 We're ready to go. All right.

Speaker 68 Let's go. We'll do quick fantasy fuckboys.

Speaker 72 Then we got Dennis Reynolds, Glenn Howerton on the show.

Speaker 6 PFD, you have an ad, though, before that.

Speaker 17 Before we do the old fuckboys, I want to talk to you about 3C. We love 3C on this show.
I have their gummies right now. They are the absolute best.
One of our favorite products here at Barstool.

Speaker 17 I think everybody loves 3Chi. Again, let me give a warning.
They have their gummies, they have their vapes, their oils, their tinctures.

Speaker 17 If you're going to take a gummy, take half of a gummy the first time that you do it. Don't take a full one until you know exactly how you're going to feel because this stuff is legit.
It's the truth.

Speaker 17 I love it. 3Che is the leader in hemp-derived cannabinoid products.
All of their products are formulated by a biochemist.

Speaker 17 They released their Delta 8 THC products, and they were the first federally legal thc products sold in the united states since prohibition started almost 90 years ago what is delta 8 you might be asking well it's a federally legal version of thc delta 8's effects are a perfect hybrid of cbd and delta 9 thc which is what you get when you smoke a dube your standard jazz cigarette but with delta 8 you have that similar buzz you get all the medicinal effects of the delta 9 and you don't get the laziness the anxiety the paranoia or the mental fogginess delta 8 users report feeling far more active and outgoing.

Speaker 17 You get increased confidence and almost none of the anxiousness or the paranoia that you get with Delta 9. Delta 8 is federally legal.

Speaker 17 It's going to have you feeling amazing, but you're going to be functional and clear-headed instead of lazy and paranoid. And 3chi isn't just the best in the Delta 8 industry.

Speaker 17 They invented the entire industry. So check them out online.

Speaker 60 Minimum.

Speaker 38 Bro, you got that COVID? Nah.

Speaker 17 That stuff's fake.

Speaker 75 Nah, it's my bait, bro.

Speaker 20 My sitim. Better not put on a fucking mask.

Speaker 75 My situm is dandruff.

Speaker 78 If you have flakes in your head, you can't fucking hang out with me.

Speaker 3 That's right. What?

Speaker 75 You got some anti-dandruff shampoo, you fat fuck.

Speaker 17 You look like trash when you got the flakes. Gotta put some nice slick oil in that hair.
Why are you looking like a real man?

Speaker 53 Why were you looking directly at me?

Speaker 60 No one in particular.

Speaker 75 My sleeper is Jim Ursa.

Speaker 42 He's jacked.

Speaker 17 I would love to walk into a bar with him and fuck some people's heads up.

Speaker 35 And then we're going to review Bigger Than Ben Part 3, the finale, part four, the finale after our interview with Glenn.

Speaker 44 Was the finale?

Speaker 6 I think so.

Speaker 43 I mean, it went to like Monday night.

Speaker 66 It's got to be the finale.

Speaker 67 It's from Monday Night Football.

Speaker 17 It was like Hard Knox. They updated it using contemporary TV.

Speaker 54 I actually was thinking the whole time, like, hardknox is kind of on the ropes.

Speaker 37 Let's just do Ben Knox.

Speaker 14 Yeah, just

Speaker 17 Ben Rothesberger being able to update in faster time than Hard Knox is really an indictment of HBO Sports. Yes.
That place is really falling downhill, huh?

Speaker 1 All right, let's, before we get to Glenn Howardon.

Speaker 17 Man, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 88 When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 87 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 87 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this.
Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 88 Snickers satisfies, man.

Speaker 89 That's a winning play.

Speaker 73 Okay, here he is.

Speaker 50 Dennis Reynolds, Glenn Howerton.

Speaker 32 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest.

Speaker 34 It is Glenn Howerton. He has

Speaker 4 his show, season three of AP Bio out on Peacock, streaming now.

Speaker 5 Go watch it right now.

Speaker 71 Get Peacock. You should have Peacock.

Speaker 45 But if you don't, get it.

Speaker 71 Watch AP Bio.

Speaker 6 Great to have you on, Glenn.

Speaker 10 We appreciate your time.

Speaker 4 Let's start with AP Bio.

Speaker 2 So I have to add, it's got to feel weird doing a show.

Speaker 27 You're in season three now where you don't have the control that you had with Always Sunny, I would imagine, right?

Speaker 21 Do you feel a little helpless at times

Speaker 89 being kind of at the whims of other people when it comes to the direction or the writing or however it may, the chips may fall here uh well it was important to me from the beginning that uh that i was a producer on the show so that i could kind of uh

Speaker 89 not just be an actor for hire but actually to be able to feel comfortable giving script notes and things like that because i and i didn't want to be a writer on the show uh for a couple of reasons one because that's a lot of work and two because um I didn't want it to be my show.

Speaker 89 I wanted it to, one of the things I really liked about it was that Mike O'Brien, the show's creator, has a very specific comedic voice. And,

Speaker 89 you know,

Speaker 89 a lot of what is my specific comedic voice goes into the show that I have already. And I didn't want it to feel that way.
So,

Speaker 89 you know,

Speaker 89 there was a certain amount of trust that had to be put into it because you're right. I do have strong opinions about what's funny and what's not funny, what works story-wise, what doesn't work.

Speaker 89 And I spoke up about that stuff with Mike pretty early on. And

Speaker 89 most things I found we agreed on.

Speaker 89 Then there were things that we disagreed on

Speaker 89 that I felt very strongly that I was right because of my experience.

Speaker 89 And there were quite a few of those things that I fought him on that he was 100% correct about because it made sense for the tone of AP Bio.

Speaker 89 And it's what makes that show, again, special and different from Sonny. So,

Speaker 89 you know, in the three

Speaker 89 seasons that I've been working on the show, I've learned to really trust Mike and his sensibilities because he's just incredibly smart and funny.

Speaker 17 So one thing that you've done a really good job of, whether it's AP Bio or it's always Sunny, is you play very unlikable characters, but somehow they become very likable.

Speaker 17 Like you almost find yourself rooting for them to be more unlikable.

Speaker 17 You know, whether they're narcissistic or sociopathic or whatever they are. How do you go about doing that?

Speaker 17 Because I think we're both very, well, no, we have people on our show who are narcissistic and sociopathic. We want to make sure that they remain likable.
I'm not saying it's us.

Speaker 17 I'm saying, you know, what advice would you give to somebody like that?

Speaker 89 Right, right, right.

Speaker 40 Well,

Speaker 89 I think probably the key to it is, I think the key to it is that

Speaker 89 I am not personally narcissistic. So I like to think that some of my, who I am as a person comes through.

Speaker 89 I'm really not like the character, most of the characters that I play on TV.

Speaker 89 Thank God.

Speaker 89 And so I think some of that comes through. I think another part of it is that, is making it, like as an actor,

Speaker 89 you know,

Speaker 89 for me, these characters are,

Speaker 89 they're overcompensating for a fragile ego.

Speaker 89 And

Speaker 89 I think it's got to be clear to the audience that

Speaker 89 you know, this is a person who

Speaker 89 actually

Speaker 89 feels things very deeply. You know, that's been the thing with Dennis is that people are like, oh, he's a psychopath.
He's got no feelings. And I think it's the exact opposite.

Speaker 89 I think he feels so much

Speaker 89 that it's scary

Speaker 89 to him. And he has to sort of act like he's better than everybody else and above it all in order to combat his own feelings that he's actually quite a fragile person.

Speaker 89 And I think in some ways that is like that is something that I think the two characters share, Dennis and Jack.

Speaker 89 Although I will say that I think that Jack is, I think deep down, Jack is genuinely a good guy. I think there's hope for Jack.
I don't know that there's much hope for Dennis.

Speaker 13 Did you ever find yourself in playing Dennis for so many years, like slipping into Dennis when you're off camera?

Speaker 71 Because I know we talked to a friend of ours.

Speaker 6 This sounds like a name drop.

Speaker 13 Zach Efron, who played Ted Bundy, and he was like, I had to basically like, you know, have a decompression after we shot every scene because it was like so haunting trying to be this guy who's a serial killer.

Speaker 10 Obviously, Dennis wasn't a serial killer, but there had to be moments where you had to catch yourself being like, oh shit, this is Dennis talking, not Glenn.

Speaker 89 When we're writing the show, you know, we're really thinking,

Speaker 89 we're really thinking as all the characters.

Speaker 89 So,

Speaker 89 you know, I'd say I spend more time working on It's Always Sunny, thinking in the voice of all the characters, not just my own.

Speaker 89 And I think after playing the the character for so many years,

Speaker 89 it's not,

Speaker 89 it's really not that hard for me to slip in and out of it.

Speaker 89 I think I would have a tougher time with it if I was in Zach's position, if, you know, if I was doing a movie where

Speaker 89 he had to really immerse himself in that character, in that world

Speaker 89 so that he, because the thing is, like, he did have the luxury of playing that character and building that character's, that building that character over the course of many, many years, you know, while actually doing it and performing it, you know, whereas I had the luxury of creating the character and living as that character for years and years and years.

Speaker 89 You know, he has, you know, when you're, when you're on a film, you have to, you have to create that amount, that depth of life before you even start shooting on day one. So you're already...

Speaker 89 you know so you're you're living as this as this person for a very compressed period of time you really have to spend more time as that character

Speaker 89 when you're doing it for the first time for a film than you would for a TV show, if that makes sense. And I, so I think I could see why that would be harder for him.

Speaker 89 It was probably harder for him to shake than it than it would be for me.

Speaker 17 So, if you spend a lot of your time kind of imagining yourself as other characters that you're also writing, if you were to like reshuffle the lineup of Always Sonny and put different actors as different roles, how do you think, like, what is the best alternate lineup in a different universe?

Speaker 17 Like, would you be a good Charlie? Would you be a good Mac?

Speaker 17 How do you think that would shake out?

Speaker 22 Ooh.

Speaker 89 Yeah, that's a good question.

Speaker 89 Great question. Thank you.
I think it would be fun to...

Speaker 89 I could see myself having the most fun probably playing Charlie's character. Yeah,

Speaker 89 personally. Yeah, and I would love to see, and I would love to see Charlie play my character because,

Speaker 89 you know, there have been a handful of times on the show where Charlie's character kind of takes charge of the gang and

Speaker 89 is weirdly the smartest one smartest and sharpest one you know the Charlie work episode being probably the most primary example of that

Speaker 89 there have been others though where Charlie is kind of the the aggressor and the and the dick and the protagonist

Speaker 89 and

Speaker 89 and cocky Charlie is very funny to me.

Speaker 89 You know, I mean, that guy's got more gears than I think most people realize. He's a really, really tremendous actor.

Speaker 89 And I would say probably that he is the best at writing for my character amongst the three of us.

Speaker 89 I mean, a lot of the best monologues that Dennis has spoken have been written by Charlie.

Speaker 17 Feel free to use that in a future episode. I feel like that's

Speaker 17 a lost little crutch that a lot of comedies used to use back in the day.

Speaker 17 It's like one character makes a wish and then all of a sudden their personalities completely freaky switch up yeah the freak right and no kid no sitcoms do like the line down the middle of a room anymore i i miss that like and then the dog gets half the line on it and you have to take ownership of each side these are some old tropes that i think could make a real strong comeback i think you're not wrong and you know as a writer my my now my wheels are spinning uh

Speaker 89 that uh it's actually not a bad idea that one's on the house feel free to use it i don't even need a writing credit so if charlie wrote uh a lot of the iconic dennis scenes what did you write like who what character do you feel most comfortable writing for oh god i okay uh i love writing for caitlin's character i love writing for for d uh

Speaker 89 you know the the desperate need for approval and and you know crippling insecurity is uh

Speaker 89 are things that i really do enjoy uh uh writing a lot so i would say i probably have the most fun writing for for her character when when uh rob mack gained all that weight, did you just, could you even look at him without laughing?

Speaker 6 Because that was

Speaker 10 it's just funny.

Speaker 18 Like that whole entire season when he gained weight, it was just like, you can't look at him without laughing.

Speaker 1 And he wore it so well, like there was nothing wrong that he just casually put on 50 pounds.

Speaker 74 I still can't believe he just did that and then got ripped after that.

Speaker 81 That's kind of a show-off move by him.

Speaker 89 Totally.

Speaker 89 No, I mean, this is just a very tortured man. And when I say man, I don't mean Mac.
I mean Rob McElhoney.

Speaker 89 You know, desperately trying to figure out how to make his life as difficult as possible so that he doesn't have to face his own demons.

Speaker 14 I like that we're just laughing at that. Yeah.

Speaker 89 He's a, no, he's a little bit of a, he is a little bit of a glutton for punishment. And he's not one to sort of sit still and,

Speaker 89 you know,

Speaker 89 let things just kind of happen the way they've been happening. He's got a, he's like, you know, once we settle into a groove, it's like, okay, how can I make this more difficult?

Speaker 89 And, you know, it's a good instinct as an artist. He's never, he's never satisfied.
It's really interesting

Speaker 89 that when he gained all that weight, it changed his character. His character became sort of weirdly like slower and almost a little dumber.

Speaker 89 But it did something to him to where it's almost like, you know, when you're an actor, a lot of times

Speaker 89 when you're doing theater training,

Speaker 89 you do mask training.

Speaker 89 And it's really interesting because when you put on a mask,

Speaker 89 you suddenly

Speaker 89 you don't feel like yourself and it frees you in a way to be, you're a little looser. It's hard to explain.
And I think when he gained 60 pounds, he didn't feel or look like himself.

Speaker 89 And so he just kind of dropped into a whole new character. And I found it hysterical.

Speaker 64 Yes, yes.

Speaker 17 It's interesting because I think for a while

Speaker 17 there would always be comparisons made to The Simpsons. Like if a new show came out and there was an episode or a character that mirrored somebody on The Simpsons, that would get pointed out.

Speaker 17 And then South Park kind of became that type of show. I know Seinfeld was like that for a little bit as well.

Speaker 17 And then I think you guys have kind of taken that over for the

Speaker 17 at least last 10 years or so. People will point out other new shows that come out and be like, oh, well, these characters are like always sunny.
Or this show is always sunny, but set in Oregon.

Speaker 17 You know, like there's, there's that dynamic of it. Do you find yourself watching new comedies and like seeing those relations to what you've created at all?

Speaker 17 And if you do, are you like, hey, they're biting us a little bit? Are you usually more of the lines like, oh, well, we set this and now it's evolved a little bit?

Speaker 89 I definitely never take offense to it.

Speaker 89 If anything,

Speaker 89 you know, it's,

Speaker 89 I mean, I think any artist would like to think that he's having sort of an impact on the world and an impact on culture because we are,

Speaker 89 you know, we are sort of attention seeking on some level. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in the performing arts.

Speaker 89 So

Speaker 89 I think, you know, whenever I see comedies where I, I mean, I think if anything,

Speaker 89 we showed that you can do edgier comedy on basic cable.

Speaker 89 I mean, I know that sounds a little niche, but like there wasn't a lot of, there were, there were like a handful of maybe, I mean, there was like Curb Your Enthusiasm and, you know, there were a handful of, you know, sort of pay cable comedies, but there weren't really any basic cable comedies that were coming along and just kind of shaking things up.

Speaker 89 So, I mean, I like to think that we opened the doors for, I mean, we definitely definitely, I mean, I think the most clear example is probably Workaholics.

Speaker 89 you know, of a show that probably looked at our show and said, okay, we want to do our version of that, which I think they did a really good job of doing their version of what we do, because that show is very different, but

Speaker 89 you can see them on the family tree.

Speaker 89 I think you can see that there's some lineage there, but

Speaker 89 I think those guys also did an extraordinary job of making it their own. I was a little worried at first,

Speaker 89 not because I felt like they were copying us, but because I thought like, oh, no,

Speaker 89 it never works when you're like, we're just going to do that. We're going to do the same thing.

Speaker 89 And I, there were certain things at the beginning that made me feel like, oh, no, they're trying to make the same show.

Speaker 89 But then they very quickly kind of distinguished themselves from our show in a way that I thought was great.

Speaker 27 Yeah, I remember when I first watched Always Sunny, it was. introduced to me as Seinfeld on crack.
And I think that was a good brief description.

Speaker 13 And the minute I watched it, I was like, oh, I get it.

Speaker 27 Yeah, it is Seinfeld on crack. It's Seinfeld unfiltered, rated R.

Speaker 20 Um, what is AP Bio then?

Speaker 89 Oh,

Speaker 89 what is AP Bio? Um,

Speaker 89 uh, election on crack?

Speaker 38 Ooh, that's good.

Speaker 77 I also should say AP Bio.

Speaker 37 So I always get all of my reviews off of Google, like the people also ask.

Speaker 32 So it says, is AP Bio a good show?

Speaker 10 question mark.

Speaker 2 And it says, most of it is silly and well beyond believability, even for a sitcom.

Speaker 12 But what matters most is that AP Bio is funny.

Speaker 23 So there you go.

Speaker 14 That's huge.

Speaker 37 That's huge.

Speaker 89 I would say, I get what that totally get it.

Speaker 89 I mean, that's one of the things I love about the show is that he's created, he's almost, Mike has, this, I think, is something that a truly good show can do.

Speaker 89 I mean, South Park has done such a great job of this and had since the very beginning. They created a world that's like our world,

Speaker 89 but

Speaker 89 it's almost a little bit more of a parallel world in the sense that reality is slightly different, but there are rules to that reality, and we try to follow those rules.

Speaker 89 I think Sunny is the same way too. I mean, you know, although I would say with Sunny,

Speaker 89 it's only its own little world in the sense that

Speaker 89 when you're with the main cast. And then once you take that main cast and put them into the real world, they're faced with the fact that their version of the world is just completely its.

Speaker 89 Yes.

Speaker 89 You know, and I think that comes through. But,

Speaker 89 you know, but

Speaker 89 I just love how

Speaker 89 overwhelmingly positive and optimistic the world of AP Bio is. And even though my character is incredibly cynical and, you know, a little bit of a jerk,

Speaker 89 he's just surrounded by such

Speaker 89 joyful positivity. And I think it's really funny to watch those two things constantly

Speaker 54 clashing. Yeah.

Speaker 17 We're going to get back to this interview with Dennis Reynolds in just a second.

Speaker 17 And now, more with Glenn Howerton. So when you're working on something that's newer, like AP Bio, you know, you're used to having that enormous run of success with Always Sunny.

Speaker 17 When the show starts to come out, are you finding yourself reading the reviews more often than you would in the past? Because you're like, you're a little bit, you know,

Speaker 17 you're more worried. You're not as confident that this next show is going to be as much of a success as it's been in the past.
Or are you just of the mindset that

Speaker 17 listening to the critics will do more harm than good?

Speaker 28 Well,

Speaker 89 I don't know the answer to the second part of that question, whether it does more harm than it does good.

Speaker 89 I think,

Speaker 89 look,

Speaker 89 okay, I will admit that I'm the type.

Speaker 87 I read,

Speaker 17 if I have time, I read all the reviews, all of them.

Speaker 89 So I do the exact opposite of what I think most people do or what they say they do, although I suspect they don't.

Speaker 89 And

Speaker 89 I actually dive right in. I read all the critical stuff.
I read all the bad stuff and all the good stuff.

Speaker 89 And

Speaker 89 I think I'm able to do that because I've developed a very,

Speaker 89 a very healthy sense of self through the years. And I think I've been validated.

Speaker 89 I feel validated enough by

Speaker 89 the people in my life that I consider smart

Speaker 89 and funny. And also by years of

Speaker 89 working on a successful show that I've started to trust that whatever I think, you know, things that I think are good and funny are actually good good and funny um you know but i have blind spots just like anybody else does and so i think reading the bad reviews for me personally i think it's good because

Speaker 89 i don't take it to heart so much so that i lose faith in myself as much as i look at it and i go oh yeah we can make some adjustments the show can be improved upon i mean i you know i'm not so cocky as to think that everything i do is so fucking good that that can't be improved upon.

Speaker 89 You know, there's some really great, smart opinions out there by,

Speaker 89 you know, fans of the show and critics of the show.

Speaker 89 And, you know, and they often have some really terrific insight into, you know, sometimes it's just about what, you know, even people talking about what makes the show work makes me go, oh, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 17 Right.

Speaker 89 I mean, that is what makes the show work. And like, you know, sometimes it's shit I haven't even thought of.

Speaker 89 So,

Speaker 89 you know, they tend not to break me, the bad reviews.

Speaker 89 I like them. And sometimes when they're really, really bad, i i have i weirdly

Speaker 89 actually really uh

Speaker 89 am incredibly amused by that um

Speaker 89 i think if i felt like this if i if i didn't like the show so much i think it might hurt my feelings more because i'd be like oh man i i i really screwed the pooch on this one i'm right you know but but uh i but i'm incredibly proud of ap bio i i personally think it's i think it's hysterical i think it's really really funny i think it's really unique and uh you know, so if I read something bad about it, like just doggedly bad, which hasn't really happened all that much,

Speaker 89 I think it's fucking hilarious.

Speaker 10 Well, here's one from 2014 from Puff Cuff Police says AP Bio sucks dick.

Speaker 53 I think that might,

Speaker 18 that person knew the show was going to suck four years before it came out.

Speaker 28 That sucks, dude.

Speaker 26 That's pretty good by them.

Speaker 89 Yeah. I was about to respond to that, and I didn't even catch the whole 2014 of it.

Speaker 56 Is there a little bit of a title?

Speaker 64 Yeah,

Speaker 74 you could just search Twitter and be like, oh, all these people are just talking about high school.

Speaker 14 Who cares?

Speaker 15 Like, they don't hate my show.

Speaker 17 That's a show scientist.

Speaker 89 Damn, that's a really good point. There's probably a lot of criticism out there.

Speaker 63 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 89 Just talking about how much they hate their AP Bio class, and people are going to be like, oh, shit, they're talking about that show.

Speaker 65 Yeah, this person said AP Bio can suck my dick.

Speaker 32 I did search AP Bio Sucks Dick, so I'm gonna get a lot of those.

Speaker 21 But

Speaker 65 yeah, there's a lot of people in the last like 10 years who have really hated this show, Glenn.

Speaker 89 Yeah,

Speaker 28 yeah, they

Speaker 89 hey, listen, you know, everybody's entitled to their own opinion. I would just say maybe try to be more specific next time.

Speaker 68 Yeah, that's fair. That's fair.

Speaker 32 Um, all right, so we asked this question to everyone, uh, all of our guests.

Speaker 65 How much money do you make off the residual checks for Always Sunny?

Speaker 51 Everyone gets this question. So don't feel like you're special.

Speaker 89 Well, enough to pay for all these goofy knickknacks you see behind me. I'll tell you that.

Speaker 15 Yeah.

Speaker 17 What do you splurge on? What is that?

Speaker 17 What's that? What do you splurge on? What's like your, you know, your, was Bleeding Gums Murphy from The Simpsons had a $1,000 a day Faberge egg habit or something like that?

Speaker 89 God, what's my splurge? Well, I mean,

Speaker 89 I don't, I don't, I definitely not clothes.

Speaker 89 I just wear t-shirt and jeans every day. So I'm not like a clothing guy.

Speaker 89 Definitely probably spent a little too much money on building this house. My wife and I

Speaker 89 built a house in

Speaker 89 Venice

Speaker 89 four years ago, or we moved in four years ago.

Speaker 28 Italy?

Speaker 89 What's that? Italy?

Speaker 15 No, no, no.

Speaker 38 Okay. No, no, no.

Speaker 29 That would be super cool.

Speaker 89 No, no, no.

Speaker 89 Venice Beach, California.

Speaker 45 Nice.

Speaker 37 Nice.

Speaker 17 When you're getting ready to start work on AP Bio, did you actually have to go back and learn some ap bio terms because for me like if i had to go take the remedials of that class again i would be like no i'm out you can do the show with somebody else well i knew my character wasn't going to be teaching much ap bio so uh so no but i did what i did do because because my character is a harvard uh philosophy professor before he came to back to toledo

Speaker 89 i did read quite a i was reading a lot of philosophy uh books and uh

Speaker 89 you know talk about reading stuff that'll make your eyes cross.

Speaker 89 My God.

Speaker 89 And then I think I kind of got to a point where I was like, I don't know that I need to be doing this because I'm not going to be writing the show.

Speaker 89 So if, you know, there's a specific reference to a particular philosophy or philosopher, I can, in a script, I can just kind of look it up then.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 32 All right. So if you had to pick one always sunny episode, I'm sure you get asked this, but I'm going to ask it anyway.

Speaker 13 One episode, you're like, that's the one.

Speaker 27 Like, that's the one I would, I would send to someone.

Speaker 42 And I'm convincing them this is the greatest show of all time.

Speaker 27 You're having them watch this specific episode.

Speaker 43 Which one are you picking?

Speaker 89 I mean, I've definitely got, I've definitely developed a handful of, you know, favorites over the years, but there's so many that I'm sure there's some that

Speaker 89 I'm forgetting. I'm going to give you three that I think

Speaker 89 are just ones that really, really tickle me a lot.

Speaker 89 I believe it's called The Gang Hits the Road from season five. Yep.
Uh, the gang goes on a road trip or something like that. Uh, and it's the one where we're trying to drive to the Grand Canyon.

Speaker 90 Uh,

Speaker 37 and you never make it out of Philly.

Speaker 45 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep.

Speaker 15 Uh, great episode.

Speaker 89 Thanks, man. Um, The Gang gets quarantined, which is extremely, uh, you know, uh,

Speaker 89 uh, was incredibly prescient

Speaker 89 because we quarantine ourselves in the bar because there's a big flu outbreak. I just, that episode really tickles me.
Um, And then I would say maybe the gang beats bogs. Yeah.

Speaker 89 It's just another one that I just, it's just, it just makes me laugh.

Speaker 46 How often do people come up to you and they're like, hey, the dentist system, but they're like, not joking?

Speaker 89 Oh,

Speaker 17 not joking?

Speaker 6 Like, they're like, hey, the dentist system, I use it.

Speaker 65 It works.

Speaker 6 And you're like, no, that's a joke, dude.

Speaker 71 Just relax.

Speaker 51 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 89 Well, listen, but we

Speaker 89 quite a bit on social media for sure.

Speaker 89 You know, but the thing is, is like we kind of, I mean, to be fair, we designed that system,

Speaker 89 you know,

Speaker 89 to work.

Speaker 38 Right.

Speaker 38 Right.

Speaker 38 I mean,

Speaker 89 because it wasn't going to be, it wouldn't have been funny to me personally if it weren't something that you could look at and go, oh, shit, that kind of, that kind of works.

Speaker 38 Right. Yeah.
Right.

Speaker 89 You know, and I'm, to be clear, I'm not advocating for it.

Speaker 38 No.

Speaker 89 If anything, the show is always advocating against anything the characters do.

Speaker 89 You know, but

Speaker 89 I do, it is definitely one of the most iconic things we've ever done on the show because

Speaker 89 I mean, well, first of all, I married, I'm my, I was already dating her at the time, but my wife is in that episode, the Dennis System episode.

Speaker 89 She plays the pharmacist that my character Dennis is in that episode. And, you know, so anytime I, and at that,

Speaker 89 people are always asking, like, did you guys meet on the show? But no, we, we'd known each other for a couple of years before that.

Speaker 89 I had been dating for a little while. But

Speaker 89 anytime I post pictures on Instagram of my wife and I, there's people like, oh, it looks like the dentist system really works.

Speaker 89 Like every, it's like 50, like, no, 75% of the comments are like about the dentist system. And you're just like, dude, are you not reading the other? Like,

Speaker 89 that episode was 11 years ago.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 55 but it did work

Speaker 89 it had an impact yeah they're not wrong somewhere in the in the depths of your brain the dentist system already existed you just hadn't written it down yet right right um i'm i'm loath to admit it but i think uh on some level i i think that that that's probably true it was uh you know a little bit of um

Speaker 89 a really, really dark look at maybe certain things that I or people that I knew had had practiced in the past. I mean,

Speaker 17 I saw that show with Mystery on VH1. I read the game.

Speaker 17 I'm familiar with, what is it, the art of the seduction speed techniques or whatever?

Speaker 15 Yeah, the game, the game.

Speaker 89 It wasn't, yeah, you know, it wasn't based on that, but it was, there was,

Speaker 89 as I recall that at that time, when did the game come out?

Speaker 54 Do you remember?

Speaker 17 The game, I want to say like 2005, 2004, somewhere around then?

Speaker 54 Yeah.

Speaker 89 Yeah, yeah, that sounds right. Yeah.
So

Speaker 89 that was in my consciousness. Uh, I hadn't read it, but I'd heard about it.
And I, like you, had,

Speaker 89 you know,

Speaker 89 had, you know, read about this guy. What was his name? Mystery? Yeah.

Speaker 17 The mystery method. Yeah.
You know,

Speaker 17 I mean, his dentist system was like, wear a funny hat.

Speaker 54 Yeah.

Speaker 17 And then, uh, be tall. And then boom, you can sleep with anybody.

Speaker 89 Yeah, yeah, yeah. The, the whole, I just, I just remember thinking, like, I just remember him talking about the whole like negging thing.

Speaker 47 Yes.

Speaker 89 Yes. Uh, I, I, I do remember that.
And I do remember thinking like, you know,

Speaker 89 that that I can see how that works

Speaker 89 if done correctly. But I can also see you, you know, people going up to like a pretty girl saying something really mean and her just being like, yeah, what the fuck?

Speaker 59 Fuck yeah.

Speaker 89 Like, you know, but I think for those guys, it's a numbers game. It's like, it's not about trying to

Speaker 89 bet every single girl that you hit on. It's, it's just, it's like a percentage.

Speaker 90 You know, you're like,

Speaker 89 it maybe, maybe you find a girl who's so insecure that, you know, nagging her actually, you know, makes her like you.

Speaker 17 I don't know.

Speaker 89 It's filthy. It's, it, it's really kind of it kind of churns my stomach, if I'm being honest.

Speaker 20 Yeah, the negging. Um, all right.

Speaker 32 Well, Glenn, I think you got to run to the next interview. We really appreciate the time.

Speaker 68 Uh, AP Bio on Peacock streaming.

Speaker 18 Now, we're huge fans.

Speaker 32 I also just had a, I was going to say your name, Glenn, is just, I don't know why you didn't do Dennis.

Speaker 82 I know why you didn't do Dennis.

Speaker 89 Or I know why you didn't do Glenn, but it seems like a cop-out because everyone else used their real name but we'll let you off the hook on that one yeah no it was a cop out I didn't want to I I

Speaker 89 didn't want to be the character yeah so all right we'll talk about that next time we have you on so thank you man we really appreciate it yeah it's great man thanks for having me on guys all right man see ya thank you all right bye

Speaker 29 That interview with Glenn Howerton is brought to you by our great friends at we drove 1700 miles of old highway 61 the whole country top to bottom just to prove one thing comfort food can make anywhere home.

Speaker 29 Crave New World makes the classics you grew up with, cleaned up for right now. High protein, no fake stuff, no shortcuts.

Speaker 29 Bison meatloaf, chicken enchiladas, turkey lasagna, the kind of meals that taste like Saturday night, even on a Tuesday. Crave New World.
Find it in Kroger Isles this October.

Speaker 29 The road trip might be over, but dinner's just getting good.

Speaker 51 Okay, let's finish up.

Speaker 36 We have

Speaker 50 Bigger Than Ben, part three.

Speaker 35 What is it called?

Speaker 17 The Bigger Comeback? Biggest than Ben.

Speaker 76 No, the Biggest Comeback or something?

Speaker 17 Biggest Than Ben.

Speaker 63 I'm sad.

Speaker 7 This is ending. I'm sad.

Speaker 48 I really wanted to get more episodes.

Speaker 6 I wanted to just be a daily vlog.

Speaker 34 It started with Ben getting everyone who still likes him, which is pretty much his coaches and that doctor,

Speaker 33 to say that he is the biggest competitor they've ever seen.

Speaker 30 The greatest competitor they've ever seen.

Speaker 33 The most competitive guy they've ever seen.

Speaker 52 Has there ever been a superstar athlete, a quarterback that's won a Super Bowl, a point guard or power forward that's won a title, an NBA title, a pitcher that won the Cy Young who everyone in their life didn't say he's the most competitive guy?

Speaker 19 I would just once want to see like the MVP of the NFL, and everyone be like, Yeah, you know what?

Speaker 1 Like, I was playing Monopoly with him, and he didn't really care.

Speaker 17 He's just chill. Yeah, he's just kind of a normal dude that you'd like to catch a cool hang with.
Big Ben also had had he had his doctor

Speaker 17 not only say he's the most competitive person I've ever met, but his doctor said, you know, I get asked all the time, if I were to be being a doctor for other players going up against Big Ben, would I root for Big Ben?

Speaker 17 Absolutely, I would.

Speaker 17 How often do you think a doctor gets asked, hey, if you weren't treating this guy and you were treating other players who were playing football against him, who would you root for?

Speaker 17 Yeah, I feel like Big Ben just took these cameras with him. I think he took like a very hands-on approach to to this documentary, as he does in many facets of his life.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 17 And he just sat behind the camera being like, who do you think is the most competitive person that you've ever met in your life?

Speaker 15 Just staring at the moment.

Speaker 72 I want to do like a comprehensive list.

Speaker 73 I want to get a list of the most competitive people ever.

Speaker 61 As said by their wife and their best friend.

Speaker 17 Their childhood best friend. I think everybody would just say Ben Roethlisberger.
If you ask me, Ben Rothlessberger.

Speaker 76 Like, I was just watching and being like, didn't Tom Brady's got a documentary coming out next year.

Speaker 6 There's going to be an entire episode about exactly this.

Speaker 73 We just watched the last dance. Yeah.

Speaker 61 Actually, Jordan's the most competitive person ever.

Speaker 17 I would say, time. Tom versus time.
Time is probably more competitive. Yeah.

Speaker 63 Never lost.

Speaker 72 Time keeps on ticking.

Speaker 17 This was really just a Ken Burns seven-part series about shaving.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was all about his beard,

Speaker 1 a little football, but pretty much just the beard.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 74 And the craziest part was he got his beard shaved, but he just got it trimmed.

Speaker 48 And then

Speaker 12 his wife was like, Ben, the dogs won't even notice you.

Speaker 15 Like, well, he still looks exactly the same.

Speaker 53 He just doesn't look as like, he looks like

Speaker 61 he just got dropped off for Naked and Afraid.

Speaker 6 He hasn't been on Naked and Afraid for a week.

Speaker 26 Right.

Speaker 17 And Ben's a guy that would come home with a different medical device on a different part of his body every single week.

Speaker 17 So having a beard that's three inches shorter is actually the most normal that he's looked coming home from a week away.

Speaker 17 Usually they're like, Ben, who is this man, this 260-pound man in a wheelchair crying? Yeah. And yeah, I think they'll be able to figure out that it's just you, Ben.

Speaker 17 I don't think he's ever going to retire. No.

Speaker 17 He doesn't seem like a guy that knows at all what he'll do if he's not playing football.

Speaker 74 I think he will retire, but much like

Speaker 12 Ricky Bobby in Talladega Knights, he's going to have to retire and pretend that he's paralyzed.

Speaker 33 Like he's going to have to retire straight to a wheelchair.

Speaker 21 And everyone's like, Ben, you aren't paralyzed.

Speaker 63 He's like, no, that's why I had to walk away from football.

Speaker 37 Well, sorry, had to wheel away from football.

Speaker 17 Had to roll downhill away from football. We didn't talk about this last time, but it reminds me of the rehab scene that they had in the pool in last week's episode.
Yeah.

Speaker 17 When he was doing like five-pound little elbow raises with this pool weight. And it's like, Ben, you have an upper body injury.

Speaker 17 There's absolutely no reason for you to be doing your rehab in a swimming pool. Besides the fact, he was probably just hot.
And you know what it was?

Speaker 17 He probably saw clips of Ryan Shazir regaining his ability to walk in a pool. And he was like,

Speaker 3 I want to do that that's rehabbing a spinal injury uh the only other note I had in classic Ben there was a scene where he was sit I think he was out behind his house throwing footballs around and he's with the strength and conditioning coach and they were talking about how like hey you're you're spiraled your spin rate it's all pretty much back

Speaker 17 and he said something like yeah you know my arm just totally feels normal and then he caught himself and was like well i mean it like pops every now and then and like clicks out like he almost said that he was healthy and then he and then he caught himself like wait hold on I just want everyone to know I'm still dealing with stuff here It would be a great prank if the Steelers doctor told Ben he had a serious serious injury that didn't exist whatsoever and then made his own documentary about Ben Rothesberger's recovery from a fake injury that he doesn't know isn't a real thing because we've never seen someone get injured like this and we've never seen someone rehab so quickly you can tell ben rothesberger like ben i've got some bad news uh your leg got broken off beneath the knee but the good news is it's going to regenerate like a like a salamander's tail.

Speaker 54 Yeah, and then they just

Speaker 17 show Ben like week after week. They just show him like pictures of his leg.
They're like, look, it's coming in nicely. He's like, yeah, you're right, my leg is coming in.

Speaker 25 And then he sits in front of his doctor.

Speaker 3 He's like, I feel like I have my whole leg back, but it doesn't feel like my whole leg's back.

Speaker 17 It looks like a half a leg. It's obviously like a ghost leg.
It feels a little bit different, but you know, it looks as

Speaker 38 battling.

Speaker 17 I like how they brought advanced analytics into his recovery with a spin rate.

Speaker 17 Ben definitely thought when there was like where they they put like a sensor in the ball? Yeah.

Speaker 17 He either thought it was magic, he probably thought when they said there's a chip in the ball, he's like, there's tostitos in there?

Speaker 66 Can I eat the football?

Speaker 15 What's going on here?

Speaker 61 A micro trip?

Speaker 2 All right. So that was Bigger Than Ben.

Speaker 7 Sad.

Speaker 46 We need more.

Speaker 48 We need more episodes.

Speaker 32 I want Big Ben to play, but now we know that if he ever gets injured again, we'll at least get another documentary out there.

Speaker 22 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 17 Big Ben's Bigger Than Ben part 2. Yes.

Speaker 17 Too Ben, Too Furious.

Speaker 32 That is our show.

Speaker 40 Everyone go download the Barstools Fire Fest Book app. Oh, Fire Fest.

Speaker 17 Fire Fest of the Week. Billy thought up a Firefest and everything.

Speaker 71 Fire Fest, I forgot my Fire Fest.

Speaker 71 Huh. I forgot about Firefest.

Speaker 17 Interesting.

Speaker 15 Billy, do you have one?

Speaker 2 Yeah. Oh, no.

Speaker 5 Fire Fest is we've had to deal with Billy all week,

Speaker 16 who told us that on Tuesday he has to focus on his school, which we're like, cool, Billy.

Speaker 12 And then we found out today that focusing on his school was just not doing the sheet for us.

Speaker 83 Anyway, my Fire Fest of the week was on Sunday night after you record the show. I went to go get my car to drive home,

Speaker 83 and the guy at the garage wouldn't let me out because my monthly payment had expired. But since it was too late, he couldn't renew it for me.

Speaker 83 So I had to wait there for 30 minutes to 45 minutes and then got home really late. Next morning, missed my class.

Speaker 17 That's kind of cool, though. You're the badass.
Wait, was that your first class of the semester? Yep.

Speaker 76 Well, that's just syllabus day. Yeah, you don't need to be there for that.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 83 Professor was like, bad luck.

Speaker 17 Yeah. No, it's just syllabus day.
Don't worry about that.

Speaker 79 Hank, Firefest? Anything?

Speaker 44 Yeah, so I, for like my Apple TV and, like, I have a smart TV in my bedroom and stuff. And in my living room, actually, no big deal.
So I guess three, three places.

Speaker 17 I use

Speaker 44 Ria, my girlfriend's family's cable login. Mm-hmm.
Because even though I pay for cable, I don't know what my

Speaker 44 email and like password is.

Speaker 44 I don't think I ever set one up.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 44 And they changed their password, but like the new password they told us just doesn't work. So I've just been like

Speaker 17 out of

Speaker 17 TV. Are you making this up as you go along right now?

Speaker 55 No.

Speaker 54 Okay.

Speaker 55 No, it's a problem.

Speaker 44 It's one of those things where I just sit there and I'm like, I pay for cable.

Speaker 22 Right.

Speaker 44 But I can't watch this game right now.

Speaker 17 And you also feel like kind of an asshole

Speaker 17 reaching out over and over again and be like, hey, can I get your login information? Correct. Someone who's not my in-laws yet?

Speaker 44 Right, because I asked and they gave, they're like, send it back. And then I was like, Rhea, I don't think that, like, can you ask again?

Speaker 21 She's like, no.

Speaker 55 yeah, don't we have cable? I was like, Well, yeah, we do, I agree, Hammond, but I don't, like, I don't know how to get in online.

Speaker 44 I don't know.

Speaker 17 I've been going through the same thing because I switched my cable provider five months ago, and so even when I try to watch, like, NFL network on my phone or Fox Sports or something like that on my phone, it asked me for my new login, and I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 17 I gave you my Verizon one two years ago, and I have no idea even how to track that down now. That is tough.
You basically can't watch television anymore. Right.
Thoughts and prayers. Thank you.

Speaker 17 Brutal. My fire fest is that Dave and Busters might be going bankrupt.
Yeah.

Speaker 17 That's more of a Fire Fest for the guy that.

Speaker 17 That's for us, too.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 33 I tweeted Jeff Bezos today to save it, so we'll see how that works.

Speaker 81 I'll keep you guys updated.

Speaker 17 Yeah, Jeff Bezos, E. Stanley Cranky,

Speaker 17 anyone really that has more than, it can't be more than what, like $5 million?

Speaker 69 Or like 10 million tickets?

Speaker 76 Yeah. Oh, here's what you do.

Speaker 17 Chuck E. Cheese filed for bankruptcy.
And right now they have a room. Did you read about their vault? No.
So they filed for bankruptcy.

Speaker 17 They have a room right now that has like 9 billion tickets because they just have tickets that continually print out like it's a mint.

Speaker 17 And they had to ask a bankruptcy court if they could shred these tickets because you can't have all these tickets going to circulation. It throws off the entire economy of Chuck and Cheese.

Speaker 17 Why don't you use every ticket in the ticket room to purchase and bail out Dave and Busters?

Speaker 7 I think you just found the solution to all of our problems.

Speaker 79 I think we got it. All of life's problems.

Speaker 36 Boom.

Speaker 15 Is the Tour de France going on right now?

Speaker 17 I have no idea.

Speaker 22 Like, what's going on?

Speaker 83 I just realized I'm in debt to Cox Cable.

Speaker 47 What?

Speaker 17 I moved, and I never canceled my Cox.

Speaker 54 Yeah.

Speaker 45 Too many Cox.

Speaker 40 When did you move? From the bunker.

Speaker 79 Oh.

Speaker 49 Well, that wasn't smart.

Speaker 51 What do you got, Jake?

Speaker 57 Tour de France is ongoing.

Speaker 17 Who's winning? Do we have an American? Who cares?

Speaker 81 I'm sorry I even asked.

Speaker 57 Mike Francesa, who cares?

Speaker 22 Or actually, who cares?

Speaker 17 For about a half a second, I thought you said that Mike Francesa was leading leading the Tour de France right now. Mike Francesa becomes very excited.

Speaker 48 How slow would the rest of the competitors have to go for Mike Francesa to win the Tour de France?

Speaker 79 I think if you gave him a car.

Speaker 38 He'd do it three times.

Speaker 17 How old is he? Like 75? Sure. Probably drives pretty slow.
If you gave him a car, he could win.

Speaker 38 They could go there, back, and then do it again.

Speaker 28 I think maybe even more.

Speaker 57 There's only three more stages after it's on.

Speaker 38 Oh, wow. It's heating up.

Speaker 1 This is what we're quickly finding out whenever

Speaker 27 we said

Speaker 12 that there's going to be so so many sports coming this fall, it's going to be incredible.

Speaker 42 What we failed to remember is that we only care about football when football's on.

Speaker 17 That's true.

Speaker 77 Because like the U.S. Open this weekend, when we're like, oh my god, Sunday, the U.S.

Speaker 12 Open.

Speaker 80 If Brooks was in it, it would feel a little different.

Speaker 3 Correct.

Speaker 32 But what do you think I'm going to be watching on Sunday?

Speaker 26 Football.

Speaker 57 That game six, Nuggets, Clippers on Sunday. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That fucking U.S.

Speaker 72 Open tennis. No.

Speaker 26 Football.

Speaker 57 That was the break between 4 o'clock and Sunday night. Fifth set, perfect time.

Speaker 53 Lakers Nuggets. There's no football on Sunday.

Speaker 45 Lakers Nuggets, Sunday, football.

Speaker 38 Right. Oh, it's football.
It's Sunday. Yeah.

Speaker 67 Football. Is it at night?

Speaker 68 Sure. Who cares? Yeah.

Speaker 15 It literally couldn't.

Speaker 74 It doesn't exist.

Speaker 53 The game is not even being played.

Speaker 15 This is.

Speaker 38 All right.

Speaker 16 Pre-prediction.

Speaker 76 LeBron's going to stink it up in that game so that everyone forgets.

Speaker 15 That's what I won't.

Speaker 17 That's what he does in game one.

Speaker 80 I won't. Game one.
No, game one's Friday night.

Speaker 17 Oh, there you go. Here's my prediction for game one.
Ready? Tonight, bet the Nuggets. Every other game, bet the Lakers.
Yep.

Speaker 77 All right. That's our show.

Speaker 65 Download the Sportsbook app.

Speaker 80 We'll be in Philly.

Speaker 25 We'll see you on Sunday.

Speaker 6 Tune in. The live stream.

Speaker 2 It's going to be electric.
