City of brotherly love. All day long.
All day long. And we got some new bets that we're going to talk to in our NFL preview.
Okay, so Barstool Sportsbook app day is today. Again, download it sometime in the afternoon.
Get ready. 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. And I think this is the beginning of that where you have experienced so much loss as a gambler yes now you get to experience the upside of still losing as a gambler but also winning winning as a game 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 when I first saw that, I almost cried.
I was like, I have reached my peak. There are a lot of, obviously, 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.
With us, you know that we lose a shitload of our bets. So it's actually way more honest that way.
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. I said pregame, I love the under, and if I love the under, it will absolutely go over.
I intentionally did not bet the over three and a half field goals. Should have done it.
Fat Randy prop. We'll get to him in little bit.
Fat Randy. All right, but before we do that, let's talk a little playoff basketball.
It's a football. We're a football show.
Yeah, no, I know. But hold on.
Hold on, Hank. We are a football show.
Joe Burrow and Baker Mayfield. Wait, wait.
Hold on, Hank. But when have we ever.
You guys don't care about them? Do you just let me finish? You let me finish? I guess it's fine. When have we ever done a show after two people in the room attended a playoff basketball game? PFT 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. How many sons did you suck off? Spell sons.
Spell sons before I answer that question. I sucked off zero sons, zero daughters it was just an electric atmosphere in there, there's nothing else to say, I was 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, AWLJP was the one who made things happen, so big shout out to.
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. And I had to fucking watch Big Cat.
You weren't even there for this. I had to watch 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. Don't watch this.
You don't want to see this. Oh, that's so mean.
I was being honest. It was actually Billy.
Oh, that's so mean. That's so mean.
I was being honest. I told Hank not to watch when there was an injury.
And I didn't want him to have to see that. I was trying to do him a favor.
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 lead by any stretch of the imagination.
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. Hank, how are you feeling? Honest.
I feel terrible. The second half of the game, they did the zone defense thing

again. Celtics just played

absolutely terrible. Spolstra is outcoaching

Brad Stevens. Yeah, they had absolutely no

good looks the entire second half. 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

a little players-only meeting. They were throwing shit around.

There was a lot of reports of screaming, yelling, shit crashing. 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.
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. Because they all came out and were like, oh no, it's all love.
It's all family. Sometimes disagreements happen within families so i'm just trying to spin that positively but yeah i don't feel i don't feel great i'd imagine they started like getting upset and they're like fuck man this sucks and marcus smart like maybe someone throws like kicks kicks a chair and then marcus smart just grabs his sledgehammer that he's been saving in his locker room and air his locker and just start smashing everything inside.

Yeah.

He's like,

yeah,

let's do it.

Remember that episode of the office when Kevin and his brother had to sell

the jet skis.

Yeah.

And Kevin's or was it?

No,

Roy.

Yeah.

His brother walks in and sees people just smashing.

He's like,

oh,

we're doing this.

Yeah,

it's on.

I've been waiting to throw this 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? No. But technically, yeah, he is.
I wasn't going to say that, Hank. I'm being serious.
Is Brad Stevens on the hot seat right now? No. If they get swept? No.
No, he's not on the hot seat. It's not a real season.
I have a question. It's a bubble.
It's a bubble. If they were to get swept, or say they lose in five, are we, at this point...
Jason Tatum is 22, Jalen Brown is 23. They're still very young.
They're still very young. Are we sure the Heat might not just win the NBA championship? I've thought about it.
What the fuck? I've considered it. He'd have lost one time in the playoffs.
Once. Once.
And that was when Giannis went out and they didn't know how to play defense. Out of coincidence, I've been tweeting out updated Jimmy Butler power rankings after every win that they have.
He better get to one. I just looked at the remaining schedule.
If the Heat win the NBA championship, Jimmy Butler will be the number one NBA player. That's what we do every summer.
Kawhi was number one for a while. LeBron's been number one.
J-Butt. And I know you think that I'm being a little bit of a troll with the Jimmy Butler love.
Oh, for sure a troll. I actually really like Jimmy Butler a lot.
I have pulled a 180. Credit to me for appreciating Jimmy Butler and loving...
You know what? I needed the bubble. I needed Jimmy Butler's 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. Okay.
You're wearing his jersey. Yeah, I'm wearing his shirt right now.
You came around. I spent all this money on a Jimmy Butler jersey.
He's very, very good. All right.
So that is our NBA talk. Okay, Hank? Okay.
You good? Yeah. Let's football.
Fucking shootout tonight. This actually, I'm declaring this Browns-Bengals game, both teams won.
The Browns won, saved their season. They needed to win.
They needed to look good after. I mean, they played the Ravens.
The Ravens are fucking awesome. 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.
Yeah, Joe Burrow looks awesome out there. Joe Butler.
Joe Butler. 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, you know, like two touchdowns, one interception, 300 yards.
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.
So it looks like that's going to be the Browns right now. The Bengals are going for an all-time backdoor cover here.
We'll see if they can get it. So we're watching the last minute and a half.
We also had Joe Buck tears. Joe Buck in the Hall of Fame.
David Baker showed up. Dude, David Baker, this is going to date us, but he's the Jerry Maguire interviewer who would make everyone cry.
He just goes around making dudes cry. Barbara Walters back in the day, when he shows up, the waterworks, they're going to start to flow with somebody.
I like how Troy Aikman was there to be 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 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.
Slash Joe. Make sure the fucking plugs look good that day because there'll be a lot of picks.
Also, man car, Joe. You cried on national TV.
A disgusting act. Absolutely.
Can't show show that type of weakness skip bayless uh okay let's do our weekend preview we'll go through all the games rapid fire uh tell you what we think and then we have some picks as well we we are brought to you by the barstool golf time app makes it easy for golfers to find the best tee times at the best prices stop searching searching all over Google for your next tee time.

We'll go through the games. Say whatever you think.

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

Joe Burrow, backdoor cover. Nope, not.
Nope.

We're still waiting for it. Giants and Bears.

Giants and Bears.

Bears are back. I'll say it for you.

I think that the Bears win this game by 10 points.

I'm very nervous for this game, but I'm nervous for every Bears game. I am nervous because, like I said on Sunday, it was more about the Lions' implosion than the Bears.
So we'll see. This is a big Mitch momentum game.
If he can do well here, then the real feelings start. If Mitch throws every pass like he threw that touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, then I think the Bears have real chance here also giants coming off a short week tell yourself that remind yourself of that yes short week short week joe judge looked like he was in a little bit over his head yep uh a lot of extra laps were ran after i i wish that they kept the camera on the field after that game to see if he did the old uh miracle on ice made his players do wind sprints on the field after the game.
Yes. Would not put it past Joe Judge really to do anything.
I don't necessarily think that he's sane, but I think that he's a football coach. He is a big-time football coach.
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. Falcons-Cowboys, this actually kind of is our loser leaves town game of the week because – oh, Joe – oh, PFT almost ran for it.
Joe Burrow with backdoor cover. There we go.
Backdoor cover. There we go, Joe.
Bengals bet looks impossibly smart. We've got to wait for the confirmation.
That looked good from here, Big Cat. I'm going to call it.
I'm going to say those points are going to stand. Give me the eyes.
Two hands on the ball, one foot down, two foot down. This is electric radio.
And he holds on to it, maintains it. He survives the ground, Big Cat.
He has a Fat Randy on the edge of the line. Oh, my God, Fat Randy.
We didn't even mention Fat Randy, the comeback story of the year. He might win comeback player of the year after that injury week one and go to three for three.
After both those injuries. Yes.
I think that Fat Randy overcame more tonight than Willis Reed ever dreamt of. Yes.
Just an insanely gutty performance from our guy. This is going to be electric.
Fat Randy. That fucks me.
You fat fuck. You better fucking hit this.
Oh, my God. Fat Randy.
Snap is good. The hold is good.
The kick is good. That could not have been more down the middle.
He split the uprights like it was a wishbone. Never a doubt, baby.
Never a doubt. I'm going to remind me.
Billy, remind me after the show. I've got to go retweet everyone who called me an idiot for betting on the Bengals.
Okay. All right, so Falcons-Cowboys.
Falcons-Cowboys. Loser leaves town game.
The exact same team playing against each other. The Falcons, as we said, they are the Turbo Cowboys.
They're everything that the Cowboys are, but just magnified. Oh, I actually think maybe the Cowboys are the Turbo Falcons.
You think they flipped it on us? Yes, yes. Okay, so this game is the battle of who's the Cowboys and who's the Falcons.
Right. 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.
And if the Cowboys lose like 42-32, the Cowboys are now the Falcons. Yes.
And the Falcons are the Cowboys. Correct.
Yeah. Okay.
All right. So we'll find out on Sunday who becomes the Falcons and who is the Cowboys.
I'm done with the Falcons. No, you're not.
Yep. We go through this every single year.
You cannot quit verbal meme, broke back mountain poster, big cat saying to the Dirty Bird, I can't quit you. Bengals still win.
No, Billy, come on. Learn football, dude.
Billy does. Okay, now they can.
Yeah, all right. Lionsackers, this is all about the Lions, like whether they have any cornerbacks or not.
If their cornerbacks are healthy, they could maybe have a puncher's chance. If they don't, Aaron Rodgers is going to have another unbelievable game.
And 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. And I've already heard the take that the Packers, like a real not joking take, the Packers drafted Jordan Love knowing that it got them a better Aaron Rodgers.
To light a fire on him. Right.
I would say that's not far off. That's not drafted anyone.
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. 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, look what Aaron Rodgers is doing again with these same undrafted or late-round pick wide receivers.
Isn't he just the greatest? That's the narrative that starts up around him. So, yeah, Aaron Rodgers possibly possibly I'd say he's in the running maybe with our boss uh for one of the like pettiest revenge grudge people of all time Aaron Rodgers got imagine Aaron Rodgers has a champagne bottle for Jordan Love sitting in his locker room yeah in his locker I've done that twice today in his locker and Jordan Love just has to stare at it every day like why is my name on that champagne bottle yeah When you die, 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.

It really is, though, just the injury report.

If Galladay plays, difference.

Like, Galladay out and all their cornerbacks out,

this is not even going to be a close game.

Galladay's a sweet name, too.

Yeah.

Jaguars, Titans, pass.

Whoa.

Vikings, Colts. We should at least say say with the Jags-Titans game, this should be played on a Thursday night.
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. They shouldn't play it in England.
They should just play it on England time. We should just get to watch this game at 9 a.m.
Agreed. But it's Nashville time.
Yeah, and you know what? It just doesn't slap the same when it's not Blake and Marcus Mariota. Pass.
The only 1 p.m. game between one and other teams.
Whoa! There we go. So is that record scratch? Is that the game of the weekend? Is Jim Nance calling this game? Yeah.
right. We have Vikings, Colts next.

I think the Vikings are very bad.

I think they're worse than they looked last week.

I think the Colts are better than they looked last week.

Yes.

Agreed.

I'm going to hold off judgment on this because Jim Mercer has not announced

if the roof will be open or not.

Hank, shaking your head.

Moneyline dog of the week.

Okay.

The Vikings.

Also, Xavier Rhodes, who's now on the Colts's he's been old for like five years yeah uh nice little fun storyline to watch he you know used to go you know man up adam thielen in practice so does he know his moves okay yeah that's that's a good storyline also kirk cousins playing against the person that kirk cousins wishes that he was Philip Rivers the best version of Kirk Cousins is Philip Rivers absolutely Kirk Cousins playing against the person that Kirk Cousins wishes that he was, Phillip Rivers. The best version of Kirk Cousins is Phillip Rivers.
Absolutely. 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.
So that's something to keep an eye on. 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.
They're young, and I know Mike Zimmer, but they're young. Well, right now they're missing a lot of guys, but they're also very young in the secondary.
I just think it's going to be a bad year for the Vikings. Bills, Dolphins.
Wait, wait, before we move on, did everybody here see the Jim Irsay video today? Yes. The pump-up video that he put out where he was standing behind the bench press? Very obviously somebody else had been lifting there, but he was wearing his hernia belt, and he was just giving a pump-up speech.
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 i can't

do the math that fast but that's what 300 billion pounds 15 pounds something like that dude i was like dude jim ursay built different built different built different that's true i think i think his liver could probably bench 350 a lot of him is built different yeah uh bill's dolphins just start Tua

agreed

just start Tua

Bills are going to win

49ers Jets. Jets stink.
49ers. BFT.
49ers by 12 and a half. BFT.
I kind of like the Jets here. You think the Jets are frisky at home? Did you not see the dressing down that Greeny gave Adam Gase earlier today? I know about the nfl 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 time to take them because everyone's having the same thought and everyone's betting the 49ers and we don't know if our friend uh greg kittle's gonna play we don't know what Jimmy Garoppolo looks like.
A little West-East action.

Yeah, it's a West-East early game. I'll give you that.
Richard Sherman's out. I'm just saying.
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.
I'll say it right now. This is going to be my dog of the week.
It's the hold your nose. This is disgusting.
You're going to hate yourself at like 135 on Sunday when it's 17 to 349ers, but you're not dead yet. I don't know.
Rams Eagles. This is Eagles need this win.
It's close to a lose relief sound game. I just the Carson Wentz.
It's it's getting it's getting hot in here. Yeah, it's getting really stinky in Philadelphia right now.
There will be people calling for Carson Wentz and his head on a platter. Already.
If he loses this game. It's already happening.
For sure. The Rams, I think, are better even than they looked last week.
I think the Rams are going to be good this year. I think they're going to be spicy.
I think our boy Jay Goff is figuring it out. Oh, yeah.
Hell, yeah. Jay Goff.
Broncos, Steelers. I mean, I don't have to tell you I love the Steelers every single week.
By the way, this will be for people who are gambling on the Barstool Sportsbook app this weekend. The Eagles and the Steelers spreads are going to be boosted.
So you're going to get, I think it's like, don't quote me on this. It might be plus 200.
Is that right, Hank? I can't remember. 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 Barstool Sportsbook app.
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. Because they're not going to stay? It's either the Niners or or the Rams.
I love little stupid travel notes like this. Get us that, Jake.
Because I guess in the past, those teams would have just stayed on the East Coast for the entire week. Yeah, they're playing the Bills next week.
Who? The Rams. Yeah, there we go.
So the Rams, is the looming travel going to be playing a mental factor in this game? I would say definitely. I like that.
Or you could go the other way uh after they beat the eagles then the rams if they do stay on the east coast it's like another minute it's another training camp you love when that when the team stays together they're like oh this is a second training camp for us 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 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 yeah we're gonna hear more about that find like there has to be East and Cronky can't buy him a compound maybe testing they have like the labs or whatever. You're right.
East Stanley Kroenke should be – he should have a portable bubble. Yeah.
He's got enough money. I don't buy it.
I don't buy it. Cheap move, East and Kroenke.
Just bring a dome with you, Stan. I love the Steelers.
I actually might put a future on the Steelers to win the Super Bowl. 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. I love the Steelers.
Panthers, Bucs, I think Tom Brady's going to eat this week and everyone's going to be like, oh my God, Tom Brady's back. 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.
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.

But you know that Belichick was watching from New England

and just laughing.

As much as you hated me at the end of

this, you knew I would never

talk to a reporter about you. I would talk to

your family. I would probably berate you to your own

children. But I wouldn't say

that to anybody with a keyboard in front of me.

I would belittle you and make you feel like

the smallest person in the world during film study

but never publicly. So Bruce

Thank you. children yes but i wouldn't say to i wouldn't say that to anybody with a keyboard in front i would belittle you and make you feel like the smallest person in the world during film study but never publicly so bruce is probably the opposite bruce probably treats brady pretty nicely yeah during any sort of film breakdown which i think brady probably is pissed off about yeah he's like give it to me give it to me hard bruce right like give me the fucking truth yeah slap me spank me daddy choke don't tell me I was good.
Yeah, make me do the forced gluck gluck on him. Brady definitely gets off by being yelled at in film study when he fucks up.
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 gotta give it to me on the side. Alright, Chiefs, or sorry, Washington football team, Cardinals, this is gonna be the are they for real game yeah it's my are they for real game because if the 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 the cardinals win this game they're semi for real yeah now we're talking playoff team like hey can they make some noise not complete but something 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 sacks right uh i think i want to say it was their dvoa ranking but i'm not 100 sure but we again we have they also had one of the worst off we've outlawed numbers on this show so i'm just gonna they passed the eyeball test last week it that way.
I think they had maybe less than four yards per play on offense. So it's win ugly.
Okay, how many points did they have? I know, win ugly. Enough.
Win ugly. They had enough points.
But yeah, 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 players. Chase Young is insane.
Chase Young's awesome. Ryan Kerrigan.
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. All right, Chiefs-Chargers.
This one, so this is going to be the don't-overthink-it game of the week for me because every 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 it's going to be something ridiculous and you're like well contrarian got to take the chargers let me ask you this when the chiefs go up uh let's say 10-0 to start the game,

is Tyrod Taylor going to bring you back?

Yeah.

I've been thinking this about Tyrod for a while.

Tyrod, excuse me.

He is the epitome of an average quarterback,

but he's somehow worse than an average quarterback.

Well, because here's what he is.

He doesn't make the mistakes that bad quarterbacks make. Like, he won't give you the egregious interious interception you know like bad Fitzpatrick last week when he's throwing three picks he won't fumble the ball he won't take like horrendous sacks he just won't do anything yeah he will just pass it underneath and you'll just punt every single time yeah he is a rebound yes Terod is the rebound quarterback that you take right after you get done with a crazy person that just fucks your brains out Terod's going to come in might be a little bit stable for a little bit just get you a sense of normalcy you look at him and you're like that is a NFL quarterback playing the quarterback position but you never think to yourself Terod's going to win us this game he's maddening because he doesn't screw up you want your bad quarterback to be visibly bad you want to be like this guy sucks I fucking hateing because he doesn't screw up.
You know, when you want your bad quarterback to be visibly bad, you want to be like, this guy sucks. I fucking hate him, but he doesn't do anything that can let you say that.
He just kind of stinks. Here's the thing about Rod.
He is the epitome of a backup quarterback. He should have like a 20 year career as a backup.
The problem with Rod is he gets put in situations where he has to be the starter. He's like a Kyle Orton.
Yeah. He's like a – Yeah.
Yeah. He's like – Don't do that.
Chaz Whitehurst. He's a guy that should be a great backup.
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.
He did get the Bills to the playoffs that time, and then they played the most boring playoff game of all time.

Did they lose 7-0 in that game?

Am I remembering that correctly?

10-3, maybe.

That was one of the worst games ever.

It was a windy game.

That was such a bad game.

Holy shit, was that a bad game.

All right, so that's Chiefs-Chargers.

Just take the Chiefs.

10-3?

10-3.

Oh, and you know what?

It's going to be on that fast turf.

Chargers' first game on the fast turf. I didn't realize this when we were making our picks And our over-unders The over-under on that game is 47 points On that turf You might get that in the first half The problem is the Chargers may not score That's fine I'm taking that into account with my advanced sabermetrics I think the Chiefs might drop 100 on them Ravens Texans.
Bill O'Brien's going to be coaching for his job soon. Which one? The GM job or the head coaching job? Well, Bill O'Brien, the GM, might fire Bill O'Brien, the coach.
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? Bill O'Brien might actually just say, you know what? My heart, my passion is in fucking up rosters.
So I'm willing to step away from coaching on the sidelines and bring somebody else in to deal with all my shit. 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, who's more creative. Yeah.
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. I would love to see it.
It's the opposite of Bill Parcells 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. Right.
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 yes uh uh social distancing delivery yeah i'll just ring the doorbell for you yeah here are two running backs named johnson go whip something up um i it really we joke about this all the time but it is true an nfl coach can keep their job 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.

They're my guy.

But the other one is giving yourself so many jobs that you can shuffle the

deck at all times.

So the GM coach is a nice safety blanket for Bill O'Brien because he can

step away from the GM,

start play calling, then step away from the play calling and focus on coaching. He can just keep shuffling the deck and no one will notice.
Absolutely. 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. We should write a book about a short book, how to keep your job in the NFL for as long as possible.
I think we know all the tricks we really do moving the franchise and being that voice of stability that is the best thing that you could possibly that buys you three more years yes yes absolutely i don't want to oh having like your owner die is also good yeah because your owner die the next guy comes legend of the of the team for of the franchise die like an old legend you know what he should? You can't fire someone during that. If the owner of the team dies, and then he volunteers to help the new owner with a coaching search, interviews everybody, and then he decides that, you know what, I'm the best person for the job.
That's the old Dick Cheney, how he became vice president. It's a genius way.
All right, last one. Hank, I'll let you go.
Patriots Seahawks, Sunday night football. We'll be in Philly.
It's going to be exciting. What do you think? Patriots by seven.
Okay. I like the confidence.
I can't wait to see what Cam wears to the stadium. I was thinking about that because last week they played one of the early games, so we got to see what he was wearing when we woke up.
That was part of our pregame. Oh, look at Cam.
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? Is it going to be like 3 o'clock in the afternoon? 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. Like, here comes – well, I guess that's what they do if they're showing a double header on CBS.
They'll show the players arriving for the late game. But I feel like sometime in that 4 o'clock, 5 o'clock window.
One of these games, he's just going to show up wearing the Speedo that Sacha Baron Cohen wore and bore at. Everyone's going to lose their mind.
Yeah, that would be so fucking funny. 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 yeah because they 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 just the dude tossing like a full salmon yes across the marketplace they stopped doing it the last couple years we need that Sunday night football so can I um not to be a downer for Seahawks fans right now but can I give you a hilarious quote from Pete Carroll after uh Russell Wilson's game on Sunday yeah Russell Wilson threw four touchdowns basically had a perfect game Russ cook, bullying online finally worked.
They let Russ throw the ball more. Afterwards, unfortunately, Pete Carroll was like, that's not the game plan.
He said seven and six carries wasn't enough for our guys, and we need to get more. We were at 20 runs.
We want to get more than that in general. But when Russ was completing every pass, we weren't discouraged about moving the football.
But we love running the ball. We always have, and those guys will get more carries as we move down through the schedule.
Essentially, Pete Carroll was saying, 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. Yeah, he prevented us from doing what we were.
He stopped me from doing something really dumb. Here's why I think.
Belichick's playing mind games, too. Dude, you realize that everyone was applauding Pete Carroll on Sunday.
They finally let Russ cook, and then he gets in front of the podium. He's like, we hated our game plan today.
That was atrocious what we did. 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.
Seattle. Seattle.
So now Russell Wilson is going to be like, even Belichick knows I should cook. I just love that Pete Carroll was disappointed that they didn't run the ball in a game where Russell Wilson was positively sublime.
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. The gum.
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. 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 55, 56 He gets a little pop in his knee That's just beautiful to watch 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 I don't think that Pete Carroll is a conspiracy guy He's not a truther Remember he's a twin Twins are weird Alright are weird.
That's true. All right, let's get to our picks.
So Barstool Sportsbook app, if you're in Pennsylvania, you can bet starting Friday afternoon. If you're not, you can still download it.
We're going to be in more states as we go down the calendar. We'll have a plan there.
All right, quickly, let's do it. Underdog, I'll take the Jets plus seven PFT.
I have the Washington football team, and this is my bird alert of the week. I'm putting the...

If you can't do Washington football team, do they always

play birds? No, it just so happens

I think they're... What's their schedule? Do they

have birds just nonstop? They are the bird hunters.

They're first degree bird. Birder at

1600, the Washington football team

is going to take out a second flock

this week. Wow, Hank.
Vikings. Vikings.

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

I have the under in Jags Titans, 44.

Hank, also Vikings.

I'm going to take the over in the Packers game,

hoping that the Lions don't have any secondary over 49.

Over New England at Seattle, 44 and a half.

Rematch of the Super Bowl as well.

How many times are we going to see the replay of that?

A lot.

A lot.

Yes. Hank.
Well, I'm sorry. Must credit Matt Patricia.
Yes. Bills Dolphins.
Josh Allen going off. Bills Dolphins.
Oh, okay. And then my favorite's going to be the Chiefs.
Don't think, just throw. My favorite is the Colts.
Colts aren't as bad. Vikings aren't as good as people think.
Hank versus PFT. And I was going to have the Chiefs as well.
Okay. All right.
So those are our picks. I have the Can't Lose Parlay.

We also have PFT has some props coming on Sunday night.

Yeah, the props for tonight.

Those are going to come out, I think, on Saturday.

Saturday will be loaded.

You're going to actually be able to bet on them on the Barstool Sports Sportsbook.

So they're fun little props.

I've seen them.

They look awesome.

Actually, you know what?

Just fuck it.

Give one.

Should I give one?

Give one.

Give a tease of one. Okay.
I'm going to give it. seen them.
They look awesome. Actually, you know what? Just fuck it.
Give one. Give one.
Give one. Give a tease of one.

Okay, I'm gonna give

a... No odds, just give one.

Run the jewels. Julian Edelman over

under half a rushing attempt.

Run the jewels prop of the week. Love it.
I'm not gonna

give what the odds are. They're pretty even odds on it.

I think he's gonna get a carry. Okay, I love it.

So that will be there. 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. And then I have my can't-lose parlay.
You ready for it? Hit me. Can't-lose parlay.
I did lose last week, but let's be honest, it can't lose. This one's special because this one is plus 400 at the Barstool Sportsbook.
Plus 400. Cowboys.
Okay. Bears.
Okay. You love the Bears.
I do like the Bears a lot this weekend, yes. Bills.
Uh-huh. And then just sit back and watch the Chiefs win.
Okay, the Chiefs, that's free. Free.
Yeah, that's an extra one. What I like to do is I like to do the three one o'clock.
Because the Chiefs can't lose. 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, while everyone's sweating out 8.5, you're like, well, I have them plus 400.
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 cannot lose.
And then when you add that to the other games that also can't lose, you get a can't lose parlay. Remember to gamble responsibly, and it could lose, but it cannot lose.
It can't lose. It says it in the name.
So it's 0-1 this year, but that was a fluke. Aberration.
Week one, can't lose parlay. You know what it was? I didn't put enough gas in the car.
I got in the car. I turned the key.
There wasn't enough gas in the car for the can't lose parlay. I gassed it up.
Plus 400. Also, you didn't have a preseason.
Weseason week one we're ready to go all right let's go uh we'll do quick fantasy fuck boys then we got uh dennis ronalds glenn howerton on the show pft you have an ad though before that before we do the old fuck boys i want to talk to you about three chi we love three chi on this show i have their gummies right now they are the absolute best one of our favorite products here at Barstool. I think everybody loves 3C.
Again, let me give a warning. They have their gummies, they have their vapes, their oils, their tinctures.
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. I love it.
3C is the leader in hemp-derived cannabinoid products. All of their products are formulated by a biochemist.
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. You get increased confidence and almost none of the anxiousness or the paranoia that you get with Delta 9.
Delta 8 is federally legal. It's going to have you feeling amazing, but you're going to be functional and clear-headed instead of lazy and paranoid.
And 3G isn't just the best in the Delta 8 industry. They invented the entire industry.
So check them out online. You can check out their products there.
They're 100% hemp derived. It's the number three, chi.com.
So it's threechi.com, the number three, chi.com. You can visit them at select retailers around the country as well.
You have to be 21 to purchase and we are going to give you 5% off your order. 5% off your order, you might be saying PFT, 5%, what gives?

That's not that much.

Well, guess what?

3Chi doesn't need to give you 5% off because they're that good.

They know that you'll be paying full price.

They are giving you money, putting that back in your pocket.

All you have to do is go to the number 3CHI.com,

shop for their vapes, their gummies, their tinctures, and their oils.

You can even make your homemade edibles using those oils.

You have to be 21, but go to 3Ca.com. Use promo code TMT at checkout.

The finale? I think so. I mean, it went to like Monday night.
It's got to be the finale, yeah. It had clips from Monday Night Football.
It was like Hard Knocks. They updated it using contemporary TV.
I actually was thinking the whole time, like, Hard Knocks is kind of on the ropes. Let's just do Ben Knocks.
Yeah, Ben Roethlisberger being able to update in faster time than Hard Knocks is really an indictment of HBO Sports. That place has really fallen downhill, huh?

Okay, here he is, Dennis Reynolds, Glenn Howerton.

Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest.

It is Glenn Howerton.

He has his show, season three of AP Bio,

out on Peacock, streaming now. Go watch it right now.
Get Peacock. You should have Peacock.
But if you don't, get it. Watch AP Bio.
Great to have you on, Glenn. We appreciate your time.
Let's start with AP Bio. So, it's got to feel weird doing a show.
You're in season three now where you don't have the control that you had with always sunny I would imagine right do you feel a little helpless at times uh being kind of at the whims of other people when it comes to the direction or the writing or however it may uh the chips may fall here uh well it was important to me from the beginning that I was a producer on the show so that I could kind of not just be an actor for hire, but actually to be able to feel comfortable giving script notes and things like that. And I didn't want to be a writer on the show for a couple of reasons.
One, because that's a lot of work. And two, because I didn't want it to be my show.
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, you know, my, 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, you know, it was, 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, what, what doesn't work. And I spoke up about that stuff with Mike pretty early on.
And most things I found we agreed on, then there, then there were things that we disagreed on that I felt very strongly that I was right because of my experience. Uh, and, uh, and then, and there were a hand, 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.
And it's what makes that show again, special and different from, from Sonny. So, um, you know, in the three seasons that I've been working on the show, I've learned to, to, to really trust Mike and his sensibilities because he's just incredibly smart and funny.
So one thing that you've done a really good job of, whether it's AP bio or it's always Sonny's you play very unlikable characters, but somehow they become very likable. Like you almost find yourself rooting for them to be more unlikable.
You know, whether they're narcissistic or sociopathic or whatever they are, how do you go about doing that? Because we're, 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. I'm saying, you know, what advice would you give to somebody like that? Right, right, right.
Well, I think probably the key to it is I think the key to it is that I am not personally narcissistic.

So I like to think that some of my who I am as a person comes through.

I'm really not like the character, most of the characters that I play on TV, thank God. And so I think some of that comes through.
I think another part of it is that, is making it, like, as an actor, you know, for me, these characters are, they're overcompensating for a fragile ego. Um, and I think, I, I think it's gotta be clear to the audience that, you know, this is a person who, uh, actually 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. I think he feels so much that it's scary 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. And I think in some ways that is like, that is something that I think the two characters share Dennis and Jack.
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. Did you ever find yourself in playing Dennis for so many years, like slipping into Dennis when you're off camera? Because I know we talked to a friend of ours.
This sounds like a name drop. Zac 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 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 when we're writing the show you know we're really thinking uh we're really thinking as all the characters uh so 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.

And I think after playing the character for so many years, it's not, it's really not that hard for me to slip in and out of it. 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, you know, he had to really immerse himself in that, in that character, in that world. Uh, so that he, because the thing is like, he didn't have the luxury of playing that character and building that characters 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.
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, 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 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. It was probably harder for him to shake than it, than it would be for me.
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 sunny and put different

actors as different roles,

how do you think like,

what is the best alternate lineup in a different universe?

Like,

would you be a good Charlie?

Would you be a good Mac?

How,

how,

how do you think that would shake out?

Oh,

um, yeah, that's a good question. I mean, great question.
Thank you. I think it would be fun to, I could see myself having the most fun probably playing Charlie's character.
Yeah. Personally.
Yeah. And I would love to see, and I would love to see Charlie play my character because uh you know there's been a handful of times on the show where charlie's character kind of takes charge of the gang and is weirdly the smartest one smartest and sharpest one you know the charlie work episode being probably the most primary example of that uh there have been others though, where Charlie is kind of the,

the aggressor and the,

and the Dick and the protagonist and,

and cocky Charlie is very funny to me.

You know,

I mean,

that guy's got more gears than I think most people realize.

He's a really,

really tremendous actor.

And I would say probably that he is the best at writing for my character amongst the three of us. I mean, a lot of the best monologues that Dennis has spoken have been written by Charlie.
Feel free to use that in a future episode. I feel like that's, that's a, a lost little crutch that a lot of comedies used to use back in the day is like one character makes a wish and then all of a sudden their personalities completely switch up yeah the freak right and no 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.
That is actually not a bad idea. That one's on the house.
Feel free to use. I don't even need a writing credit.
So if Charlie wrote a lot of the iconic Dennis scenes, what did you write? Like who what character do you feel most comfortable writing for for? Oh God. I love writing for Caitlin's character.
I love writing for, for Dee, uh, you know, the, the desperate need for approval and, and, you know, crippling insecurity is, uh, 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 uh gained all that weight did you just could you even look at him without laughing because that was it's just funny like that whole entire season when he gained weight just like you can't look at him without laughing and he wore it so well like there was nothing wrong that just casually put on 50 pounds.
I still can't believe he just did that and then got ripped after that. That's kind of a show off move by him.
Totally. No, I mean, this is just a very tortured man.
And when I say man, I don't mean Mac. I mean, Rob McElhaney, 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.
I like that we're just laughing at that. Yeah.
He's like, no, he's a little bit of it. He is a little bit of a glutton for punishment.
And he's not one to sort of sit still and, and, you know, let things just kind of happen the way they've been happening. He's like, you know, once we settle into a groove, it's like, okay, how can I make this more difficult? And, and, you know, it's a, it's a good instinct as an artist.
He's never, he's never satisfied. It's really interesting that when he gained all that weight, it changed his character.
His character became sort of weirdly like slower and almost a little, a little dumber. And, uh, I, but it did something to him to where it's almost like, you know, when you're an actor, a lot of times you, when you, when you're doing theater training, you train, you do mask training.
Um it's really interesting because when you put on a mask, it, you suddenly do you feel you, 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. And, and, and, and so he just kind of dropped into a whole new character and I, I found it hysterical.
Yes. Yes.
It's interesting because I think for a while 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.
And then South park kind of became that type of show. I know Seinfeld was like that for a little bit as well and then I think you guys have kind of taken that over for the 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 you know like there's that of it.
Do you find yourself watching new comedies and like seeing those relations to what you've created at all? 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? I definitely never take offense to it. If anything, you know, it's uh 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 on culture because we are you know we are sort of attention seeking on some level uh otherwise we wouldn't be in the performing arts uh so uh i think you know, whenever I see comedies where I, I mean, I think if anything, we showed that you can do edgier comedy on basic cable.
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 really any basic cable comedies that were coming along and just kind of shaking things up. So, I mean, I like to think that we opened the doors for, I mean, we definitely, I mean, I think the most clear example is probably Workaholics, you know, of, 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 you can see the, you can see them on the family tree. I think you can see that there's some, there's some lineage there but uh but uh i i but i i think those guys also did an extraordinary job of of making it their own i was a little worried at first not not for not because i felt like they were copying us but because i thought like oh no they it never works when you're like we're just gonna do that we're gonna do the same thing um and i there were certain things at the beginning that made me feel like, oh no, they're trying to make the same show.
But then they very quickly kind of distinguished themselves from our show in a way that I thought was great. Yeah, I remember when I first watched Always Sunny, it was introduced to me as Sefeld on crack and i think that was a good

brief description and the minute i watched i was like oh i get it yeah it is seinfeld on crack it's seinfeld unfiltered rated r um what is ap bio then oh uh what is ap bio um uh election on crack oh that's good i also should say ap bio so i always get all of my reviews off of google uh like the people also ask so it says is ap bio a good show question mark and it says most of it is silly and well beyond believability even for a sitcom but what matters most is that ap bio is funny so there you go that's huge that's huge i would say i get what that i totally get it i mean that's one of the things i love about the show is that he's create he's almost mike has this i think is something that that a truly good show can do 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, but 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. I think Sonny is the same way too.
I mean,ny, it's, it's, it's only its own little world in the sense that when you're with, when you're with, 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, their version of the world is just completely insane. Yes.
You know, and I think that comes through but uh you know i but i i i just love the

i just love how uh overwhelmingly positive and optimistic um the world of ap bio is and even

though my character is incredibly cynical and you know a little bit of a jerk um he's just

surrounded by such um joyful positivity and i think it's really funny to watch those two things constantly clashing yeah we're going to get back to this interview with dennis reynolds in just a second but first i want to talk to you about screwball new sponsor alert hank glenn howerton won't even mind having this interview interrupted because we have a new sponsor and it's Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey.

And now more 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.
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 a little bit – 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 in the mindset that listening to critics will do more harm than good? Well, I don't know the answer to the second part of that question, whether it does more harm than it does good.
Uh, I, I think, look, well, I'm okay. I will admit that I'm, I'm, I read, if I have time, I read all the reviews, all of them.
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. And I actually dive right in.
I read all the critical stuff. I read all the bad stuff and all the good stuff.
And I think I'm able to do that because I've developed a very healthy sense of self through the years. And I think I've been validated.
I feel validated enough by the people in my life that I consider smart and funny. And also by years of working on a successful show that I've started to trust that whatever I think, things that I think are good and funny are actually good and funny.
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 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, I'm not so cocky as to think that everything I do is so fucking good that it can't be improved upon.
You know, there's some really great smart opinions out there by, you know, fans of the show and, and critics of the show. 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.
Right. I mean, that is what makes the show work.
And like, you know, sometimes it's shit I haven't even thought of. Um, so, uh, you know, they, they tend not to break me, uh, the bad reviews.
I, I, I, I like them. And sometimes when they're really, really bad, I weirdly actually really am incredibly amused by that.

I think if I felt like the – 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 really screwed the pooch on this one.

Right.

But I'm incredibly proud of AP Bio.

I personally – it might hurt my feelings more because i'd be like oh man 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 uh i i i think it's fucking Well, here's one from 2014 from PuffPuff Police says,

AP Bio sucks dick.

I think that person knew the show was going to suck

four years before it came out.

That sucks, dude.

That's pretty good by them.

I was about to respond to that, and I didn't even catch the whole 2014 of it. Is there a little bit of truth to that review? You could just search Twitter and be like, oh, all these people are just talking about high school.
Who cares? They don't hate my show. Does the show suck, Dick? Damn, that's a really good point.
There's probably a lot of criticism out there. Oh, yeah yeah.
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. Yeah.
This person said AP bio can suck my dick. I did search AP bio sucks dick.
So I'm going to get a lot of those. But yeah, there's a lot of people in the last like 10 years who have really hated this show, Glenn.
Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, listen, you know, everybody's entitled to their own opinion.

I would just say maybe try to be more specific next time.

Yeah, that's fair.

That's fair.

All right. So we asked this question to everyone, all of our guests.

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

Everyone gets this question.

So don't feel like you're special.

Well, enough to pay for all these goofy

knickknacks you see behind me. I'll tell you that.

What do you splurge on? What is that?

What's that?

What do you splurge on?

What's like your

Bleeding Gums Murphy from The Simpsons

had a $1,000 a day Fabergé

egg habit or something like that?

God, what's my splurge?

Well, I mean, I don't – definitely not clothes.

I just wear a T-shirt and jeans every day.

So I'm not like a clothing guy.

I definitely probably spent a little too much money on building this house.

My wife and I built a house in Venice four years ago or we moved in four years italy what's that italy no no no okay no no that'd be cool yeah that would be super cool no no no venice venice venice beach california nice nice when you were uh when you get ready to start work on ap bio did you actually have to go back and like 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 philosophy professor before he came to back to Toledo.
I did read quite a I was reading a lot of philosophy books and, you know, talk about reading stuff that'll make your eyes cross. My God.
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 so if you know there's a specific reference to a particular philosophy or philosopher i can in a script uh i can just kind of look it up then yeah um all right so if you had to pick one always sunny episode i'm sure you could ask this but i'm gonna ask it anyway one episode you're like that's the one like that's the one i would i would send to someone i'm convincing them this is the greatest show of all time you're you're having them watch this specific episode which one are you picking i mean i've definitely got i've definitely developed a handful of uh you know favorites over the years uh but there's so many that i'm i'm sure there's some that i'm that i. I'm going to give you three that I think are just ones that really, really tickle me a lot.
I believe it's called the gang hits the road from season five. Yep.
The gang goes on a road trip or something like that. And it's the one where we're trying to drive to the grand Canyon.
And you never you never make it out of Philly. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yep. Great episode.
Thanks, man. Um, the gang gets quarantined, which is extremely, uh, you know, uh, uh, was incredibly prescient.
Um, cause we quarantine ourselves in the bar because there's a big flu outbreak i just that episode really tickles me

um and then i'd say maybe the gang beats boggs yeah it's just another one that i i just it's just it just makes me laugh how often do people come up to you and they're like hey the dentist system but they're like not joking oh uh not joking like they're like hey the dentist system i use it it works and you're like no that's

a joke dude just relax yeah yeah uh well listen but we put quite a bit on on social media you know but the thing is is like we kind of i mean to be fair we designed that system you know

to work

I mean

it to be fair we designed that system be you know to to work right right i mean because it wasn't gonna 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 right yeah right uh you know and i'm to be clear i'm not advocating it. If anything, the show is always advocating against anything the characters do.
You know, but, but I, I do, it is definitely one of the most iconic things we've ever done on the show because I, I mean, well, first of all, I, I married, I'm in my, I was already dating her at the time, but my wife is in that episode the dentist system episode she plays the pharmacist that my character dennis is in that episode and uh you know so anytime i uh and and at that people are always asking like did you guys meet on the show but no we we'd known each other for a couple years before that.

I'd been dating for a little while.

Anytime I post pictures on Instagram of my wife and I,

there's people like,

it looks like the dentist system really works.

Like 75% of the comments are about the dentist system.

And you're just like, dude, are you not reading the other?

That episode was 11 years ago. Yeah, did work it had an impact yeah they're not wrong somewhere 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 loathe 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 a really really dark look at maybe certain things that i or people that i knew had uh had practiced in the past i mean i i i saw that show with mystery on vh1 i read the game i'm i'm familiar with was it the uh the art of the seduction speed techniques or whatever it is? Yeah, the game.
It wasn't based on that, but as I recall at that time, when did the game come out? Do you remember? The game, I want to say like 2005, 2004, somewhere around then? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. That sounds right.
Yeah. So that that was in my consciousness uh i hadn't read it but i'd heard about it and i like you had you know i had you know read about this guy what was his name mystery yeah the mystery method yeah you know his dinner system was like wear a funny hat yeah and then uh be tall and then boom you can sleep with anybody yeah yeah yeah the whole i just i just remember thinking like i just remember him talking about the whole like negging thing yes yes uh i i do remember that and i do remember thinking like you know that that i can see how that works um 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 like you know but i think for those guys it's a numbers game it's like it's not about trying to uh bet every single girl that you hit on it's it's just it's like a percentage right now you're like it maybe maybe you find a girl who's so insecure that, you know, negging her actually, you know, makes her like you.
I don't know. It's filthy.
It's it's really kind of it kind of turns my stomach, if I'm being honest. Yeah.
The negging. All right.
Well, Glenn, I think you got to run to the next interview. We really appreciate the time.
AP bio on Peacock streaming. Now we're huge fans.
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.
I know why you didn't do Dennis or I know why you didn't do Glenn, but it seems like a cop out. Cause 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, I 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 was great.
Thanks for having me on, guys. All right, man.

Okay, let's finish up. We have Bigger Than Ben Part 3.
What is it called? The Bigger Comeback? Biggest Than Ben. No, The Biggest Comeback or something? Biggest Than Ben.
I'm sad. This is ending.
I i'm sad i really wanted to get more episodes i wanted to just be a daily vlog um it started with ben getting everyone who still likes him which is pretty much his coaches in that doctor uh to say that he is the biggest competitor they've ever seen the greatest competitor they've ever seen, the greatest competitor they've ever seen, the most competitive guy they've ever seen. 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? I would just once want to see the MVP of the NFL, and everyone would be like, yeah, you know what? I was playing Monopoly with him, and he didn't really care.
He's just chill. Yeah, just kind of a normal dude that you'd like to catch a cool hang with.
Big Ben also had his doctor 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? Absolutely, I would. 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? I feel like Big Ben just took these cameras with him.
I think he took a very hands-on approach to this documentary, as he does in many facets of his life. Oh, yeah.
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? Just staring at him. He's just a throat slash.
Yeah. I want to do a comprehensive list.
I want to get a list of the most competitive people ever, as said by their wife and their best friend. Their childhood best friend.
I think everybody would just say Ben Roethlisberger. If you ask me, Ben Roethlisberger.
I was just watching and being like, Tom Brady's got a documentary coming out next year. There's going to be an entire episode about exactly this.
We just watched The Last Dance. Michael Jordan's the most competitive person ever.
I would say time. Tom versus time.
Time is probably more competitive. Yeah.
Never lost. Time keeps on ticking.
This was really just a Ken Burns seven-part series about shaving. Yeah, it was all about his beard.
A little football, but pretty much just the beard. Yeah.
And the craziest part was he got his beard shaved, but he just got it trimmed. And then his wife was like, Ben, the dogs won't even notice you.
Well, he still looks exactly the same. He just doesn't look as – he looks like he just got dropped off for Naked and Afraid.
He hasn't been on Naked and Afraid for a week. Right.
And Ben's a guy that would come home with a different medical device on a different part of his body every single week so like having a beard that's three inches shorter is actually the most normal that he's looked yes coming home from a week away 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 it's just you ben i don't think he's ever going to retire i don't think he he doesn't seem like a guy that knows at all what he'll do if he's not playing football

I think he will retire

but much like

like Ricky Bobby in

Talladega Nights he's gonna

have to retire and pretend that he's paralyzed

like he's gonna have to retire

straight to a wheelchair and everyone's like Ben

you aren't paralyzed

he's like no that's why I had to walk away

from football well sorry had to wheel away

from football I had to roll downhill away

Thank you. straight to a wheelchair and everyone's like ben you aren't paralyzed yeah he's like no that's why i had to walk away from football well sorry had to wheel away from football i had to roll downhill away from football i 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 when he was doing like five pound little uh like elbow raises with this pool weight it's like ben you have an upper body injury 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? He probably saw clips of Ryan Shazier regaining his ability to walk in a pool.
And he was like, I want to do that. That's what rehab is.
What a spinal injury. The only other note I had, in classic Ben, there was a scene where he was sitting, I he was out behind his house throwing footballs around, and he was with the strength and conditioning coach, and they were talking about how like, hey, your spiral, your spin rate, it's all pretty much back.
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 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 rottasberger's recovery from a fake injury that he doesn't know isn't a real thing. We've never seen someone get injured like this, and we've never seen someone rehab so quickly.
You could tell Ben Roethlisberger, like, Ben, I've got some bad news. Your leg got broken off beneath the knee, but the good news is it's going to regenerate like a salamander's tail.
Drink some NyQuil. They just show Ben week after week.
They just show him 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 nicely.
Yeah, and then he sits in front of his doctor. He's like, I feel like I have my whole leg back, but it doesn't feel like my whole leg's back.
It's like a half a leg. It's obviously like a ghost leg.
Yeah, right. It's a little bit different, but it looks as...
Battling. I like how they brought advanced analytics into his recovery with a spin rate.
Ben definitely thought when they put a sensor in the ball,

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?

Can I eat the football? What's going on here?

A microchip?

All right, so that was bigger than Ben.

Sad.

We need more.

We need more episodes.

I want Big Ben to play, but now we know that if he ever gets injured again we'll at least get another documentary oh yeah big ben bigger than ben part two yes uh all right to ben too furious that is our show everyone go download the barstool firefist app oh firefest shit that's the week billy thought up a firefest and everything so i forgot my firefest huh i forgot about firefest interesting billy do you have one yeah oh no Fyre Fest in everything. Fyre Fest, I forgot my Fyre Fest.
Huh. I forgot about Fyre Fest.
Interesting. Billy, do you have one? Yeah.
Oh, no. Fyre Fest is we've had to deal with Billy all week who told us that on Tuesday he has to focus on his school, which we're like, cool, Billy.
And then we found out today that focusing on his school was just not doing the sheet for us. Anyway, my Fyre Fest of the week was on Sunday night after we recorded the show.
I went to go get my car to drive home. 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. So I had to wait there for 30 minutes to 45 minutes and then got home really late.
Next morning, missed my class. That's kind of're a badass you wait was that your first class of the semester yep not well that's just syllabus day yeah you don't need to be there for that professor was like bad look yeah no it's just syllabus day don't worry about that hank fire fest anything uh 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 I use, uh, Rhea, my girlfriend's family's cable login because for what, even though I pay for cable, I don't know like what my like, uh, email and like password is on any, I don't think I ever set one up and they changed their password. password but like the the new password they told us just doesn't work so i've just been like out of uh out of tv are you making this up as you go along right now no okay no it's it's a problem it's one of those things where i just sit there and i'm like i pay for cable right but i can't watch this game right now you also feel like kind of an asshole and reaching out over and over gonna be like hey can i get your login information correct someone who's not my in-laws yet right because i asked and they gave they're like send it back and then i was like ria i don't think that like can you ask again she's like no yeah don't we have cable i was like well yeah we do i agree but i i don't like i don't know how to get in online i don't.
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 NFL Network on my phone or Fox Sports or something like that on my phone, it asks me for my new login.
And I'm like, I don't know. 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.

Brutal.

My fire fest is that Dave and Busters might be going bankrupt.

Yeah.

That's more of a fire fest for the guy that...

That's for us too.

Yeah.

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

I'll keep you guys updated.

Yeah.

Jeff Bezos, E. Stanley Cranky, anyone really that has more than...
it can't be more than what, like $5 million? Or like 10 million tickets? Yeah. Oh, here's what you do.
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. 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.
And they had to ask a bankruptcy court if they could shred these tickets because you can't have all these tickets going into circulation. It throws off the entire economy of Chuck E.
Cheese. Why don't you use every ticket in the ticket room to purchase and bail out Dave and Buster's? I think you just found the solution to all of our problems.
I think we got it. All of life's problems.
Boom. Is the Tour de France going on right now? I have no idea.
Like, what's going on? I just realized I'm in debt to Cox Cable. What? I moved, and I never canceled my Cox.
Yeah. Too many Cox.
When did you move? From the bunker. Oh.
Well, that wasn't smart. What do you got, Jake? Tour de France is ongoing.
Who's winning? Do we have an American? Who cares? I'm sorry I even asked. Mike Francesa, who cares? For about a half a second, I thought you said that Mike Francesa was leading the Tour de France right now.
Mike Francesa, who cares? He becomes very excited. How slow would the rest of the competitors have to go for Mike Francesa to win the Tour de France? I think if you gave him a car.
They could probably do it three times. How old is he? Like 75? Sure.
Probably drives pretty slow. If you gave him a car, he could win.
They could go there, back, and then do it again. I think maybe even more.
There's only three more stages after tonight. Oh, wow.
It's heating up. This is what we're quickly finding out when we said that there's going to be so many sports coming this fall.
It's going to be incredible. What we failed to remember is that we only care about football when football is on.
That's true. Because like the U.S.
Open this weekend, we were like, oh my God, Sunday the U.S. Open.
If Brooks was in it, it would feel a little different. Correct.
But what do you think I'm going to be watching on Sunday? Football that game 6 Nuggets Clippers on Sunday yeah that fucking US Open tennis football that was the break between 4 o'clock and Sunday night 5th set perfect timing there was no football on during the 5th set Lakers Nuggets Sunday football right it's football this Sunday yeah football is it at night? sure who cares it literally couldn't it doesn't exist It's football. It's Sunday.
Yeah. Football.
Is it at night? Sure. Who cares? It literally couldn't.
It doesn't exist. The game is not even being played.
This is, all right, pre-prediction, LeBron's going to stink it up in that game so that everyone forgets. But I won't.
That's what he does in game one. I won't.
Game one. No, game one's Friday night.
Oh, there you go. Here's my prediction for game one.
Ready? Tonight, bet the Nuggets. Every other game, bet the Lakers.
Yep. All right.
That's our show. Download the Sportsbook app.
We'll be in Philly. We'll see you on Sunday.
Tune in. The live stream is going to be electric.
And let's do a number. I've got 21 today.

Just lucky number seven? Seven. That's good luck.
That's good luck going into this weekend. That's good luck, Billy.
Hell yeah. Seven.
