Speaker 3 today is monday april 6th i don't even know why we say the days or the date anymore but we are we're in april and i actually i'm gonna i'm gonna be positive today boys i don't know who's taking the role of negativity but i'm officially gonna put my hand up and say i'm positive today i'm gonna have a positive spin-on life who wants to be the negative guy I don't think we should have a negative guy today.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Let's leave that. Let's leave that in March.
Okay.

Speaker 3 We need to have one negative person.

Speaker 3 So at least at some point we have to have a negative comment just to bring us back down to reality but here's my positivity of the day this whole new social distancing when you see someone on the street that you know not having to like get close to them is kind of awesome i don't know if you guys have had this yet where you take a walk like i was walking stella saw actually someone that we work with um on the third floor and we had a nice chat probably 10 feet away and it was kind of cool there you go you're doing the uh it's like the irish hello where you don't even have to acknowledge the person

Speaker 3 That's kind of a bit of positivity. It's like a natural separation.
It creates the opportunity to leave much easier. Right.
Right. Yeah.
How about this for positivity?

Speaker 3 There's never been a better time to get a cold sore.

Speaker 3 True. True.
Do you have one? No, I'm just saying that if you do get cold sores, now is like you're hitting the lottery. If you get one, you don't have to go into work for a couple of weeks.

Speaker 3 No one's ever going to know. Yeah.
Or it's now's a great time to give yourself a haircut and have it be a bad haircut. Yep.
Good point.

Speaker 3 Are we, what's by the way, what is the plan for like haircuts and everything like that? Are we,

Speaker 3 are we just all going to say fuck it? And we're just not cutting our hair until Danny Woodhead wins the Super Bowl over here. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 I haven't even thought about that, but I'm definitely getting close to needing a haircut. So that's going to be

Speaker 3 some flow.

Speaker 3 I don't think I, I mean, it's, I don't know where it would go. And quarantine challenge.
You won't.

Speaker 3 Quarantine challenge. You, Hank, you should shave your face.
Quarantine challenge.

Speaker 3 Yeah. If you grow your beard out until the end of quarantine, I'll shave my face at the end of quarantine.
No.

Speaker 3 Yeah, no, you'd already said it. That's it.

Speaker 3 That's such a bad deal for you that the day that we all get to be released from our houses, which, okay, here's the negative part.

Speaker 3 This whole like everyone's saying, oh, yeah, I can't wait for the day that we're allowed to go back out and the world goes back to normal. The world's not going back to normal like a light switch.

Speaker 3 We're not going to be like, hey, there we go.

Speaker 3 now everyone just go party and we're we're cool it's gonna be such a weird gradual thing where everyone is scared of each other because of germs you guys are you guys getting

Speaker 3 crowds concerts aren't gonna exist for another year

Speaker 3 uh hank i am getting a mask or i didn't get a mask i got one of those fucking really cool uh like mic things yeah that like basically every navy seal wears and it actually the only one they had was an american flag one so apparently people shopping on amazon don't love their country so i'm gonna walk around with a weighted vest and that and people will be like yeah he's special ops well you have the altitude mask so that too and the tactical glasses so i have feel bad because my neighbor came from across the uh across the way here he works at a hospital and he had like a box of 10 hospital masks and i'm like i don't want to steal valor i don't want to take those he's like no take at least one or two so i've got a couple of them um i i've been getting some emails from jinko i think i've kept you guys up to date on that they're doing their part to to fight coronavirus with 15 off sales but I think that they should actually make.

Speaker 3 I don't think you have. Yeah, they should make masks with all the XXX fabric.
Just out of the, yeah, the kangaroo pie, just make Jinko-branded hijabs. Yeah, I'm down for that.

Speaker 3 I'm, yeah, I'm, I got like basically the starter kit

Speaker 3 for a guy who walks around like Portland, Oregon with an AK-47 saying, don't take away my rights. So I'm definitely going to walk around Brooklyn.
Everyone's going to be like, what's this guy doing?

Speaker 3 With the weighted best, tactical glasses, American flag, flag, neck

Speaker 3 thingy, mustache, and yeah, and the mask. So, yeah, it's gonna be a good time.
I'll probably get shot right now. I'm probably gonna get shot.
Yes,

Speaker 3 you have the am I being detained starter pack? Yes, exactly. Like, I know my rights.
Um, all right, what else is going on? Anything? I mean, I actually do think here, we're back to positivity.

Speaker 3 I think the president calling all the commissioners on Saturday was a positive sign because I would imagine that call was you need to bring sports back right now because we're all need sports very, very badly.

Speaker 3 I think he just called because Baron, because Baron is driving him absolutely insane in the White House with no sports on TV. So he was like, I want to talk to someone.

Speaker 3 Oh, oh, you're saying that he's he he was like, Dad, you need to bring the sports back?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think that either Baron was like, Dad, you got to get sports back, or Donald Trump was like, I'm sick of hanging out with my son because he doesn't have anything to watch on TV.

Speaker 3 So I need to call up.

Speaker 3 Here, get me Roger Goodell. But Baron kid off my back.
But Baron's a big footy fan, so and the MLS wasn't included as last I checked.

Speaker 3 Neither was the Premier La Cross League, which was disrespectful. It's fucked up.
Paul Rabel didn't get an invite. I didn't get an invite as commissioner, future commissioner of United States rugby.

Speaker 3 No, owner. You're going to name yourself commissioner? Owner too? Owner slash commissioner, yeah.
That's going to be a problem.

Speaker 3 Well, sometimes you got to take charge of something if you want it solved, you know? So I feel like that was a positive thing. Then Windhorse is like the bearer of bad news, drops more bad news.

Speaker 3 I feel like Saturday night that I just, or maybe it was Friday night, I actually actively ignored it just so that I couldn't be bummed out. Did you watch, did you watch the clip of him saying it?

Speaker 3 No, what is it? It is like sad, the way he delivers sad news was just, just depressing. Like he was just, he was about to cry when he was saying it, basically.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I'm going to cry when I, so I, I saw it, you know, the thing when you see like bad news on Twitter and you just, you're like, yep, I'm going to scroll by it.

Speaker 3 Don't want to watch, don't want to see this, not going to read this, not going to comprehend this. So I saw it briefly and scrolled right by it.

Speaker 3 and then uh this is the first i'm thinking about the fact that he kind of hinted that nba is definitely going to cancel the rest of the season yeah but uh there's a silver lining that cloud which is adam silver is considering having the best players in the league play horse against each other live on instagram which is just sounds like the most boring idea of all i would do a dunk dunk contest would be better on instagram live it it is so so boring like saying horse is basically that Adam Silver is really showing his age there because there's no way like, horse is the fun game when you're like five years old and you learn how to shoot.

Speaker 3 And when you're 70 years old and you like playing basketball, but you can't do anything but shoot.

Speaker 3 Like, so this is, I actually, I was tweeting that I would rather watch these players go through their regular workout and see, like, how they, how they, you know, see Mello in his hoodie just draining shots and running no more than like 10 steps.

Speaker 3 And then seeing LeBron actually work out really hard and being like, oh, there's the difference. That would be more interesting than horse.

Speaker 3 I would rather watch Johnny Cueto take care of his actual horses on Instagram live than to watch an NBA player play

Speaker 3 horse. They're fucking dead.
They're dead. Yeah, that's why I know that's that's how bad it would be to watch an NBA player play horse.
It's like two guys playing horse against each other.

Speaker 3 It's fun for them, but it's boring for everybody else. It's like telling people your dreams.

Speaker 3 Like, I don't want to see James Harden be like, okay, here's another three-pointer that I'm going to sink. Dude.
And okay, now what?

Speaker 3 I would rather watch them each take a thousand free throws. At least then it's like, okay, here's what, yeah, here's what your free throw percentage is is in like an empty gym with no pressure.

Speaker 3 Yeah, they're just, they're scrambling for content like everybody else. But yeah, I'm going to take a hard pass on the horse idea.

Speaker 3 I actually think even if there was absolutely nothing else going on in the sports world, I still wouldn't tune in and watch that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And then, of course, people will say, well, think about the betting. You got to realize something.
If they play horse, they're not going to let you bet more more than like $5 on these games.

Speaker 3 They're just not. So think big picture.

Speaker 3 Don't let them try to, they're trying to basically do a little switcheroo on us, being like, hey, the NBA is probably going to be canceled, but we're going to play some horse.

Speaker 3 Don't let them do that. Don't let them do that to hold out for the cruise ship.

Speaker 3 Yeah, exactly. They're trying to get off easy.
We're not going to let them. I like that, big heads.

Speaker 3 We're not going to take whatever Adam Silver hands us and thank him and be begging for scraps from him and ask for seconds on gruel. Okay.

Speaker 3 Listen, Listen, we want our aircraft carrier eight-team NBA playoff tournament.

Speaker 3 We, as a podcast, have already said that we will donate our brains to anyone that needs it in terms of bringing sports back.

Speaker 3 But what we won't do is let the sports leagues belittle us by giving us these little games and being like, this will placate the world. Like, oh, we'll have, you know,

Speaker 3 a couple players play on, you know,

Speaker 3 video games and that will be fine.

Speaker 3 No, that's not fine that's fine for right now but that's not bringing back sports so we're holding out for real sports to come back otherwise i don't know what we're gonna do i'll probably just be really mad on my couch like i am every single day maybe they'll just keep dropping new tiger kings because jeff jeff lowest said that there's gonna be another episode tiger king coming out which might be just wishful thinking on his part because he probably has a lot of footage from behind the scenes of different times that he's tried to get people to confess to crimes so he could turn them in.

Speaker 3 So he's probably got all this footage. He's like, we got enough to make another Tiger King.
Netflix is putting out next week.

Speaker 3 I don't necessarily believe Jeff Lowe because

Speaker 3 Jeff Lowe ever said anything to make you want to believe him, but I am hoping that there might be another episode.

Speaker 3 Well, before we started the show, you were trying to figure out why you had blood on your

Speaker 3 can of C4. And

Speaker 3 I think you missed it, but Hank and I were talking. We actually actively

Speaker 3 have the phone number to someone in Jeff Lowe's camps, and we're trying to book him on the show to be like why are you always lying dude

Speaker 3 I love it let's make it happen so we might have

Speaker 3 I had to send a text message though the original text message like I was like oh you know we've been watching Tiger King like we're huge fans of Jeff because it's like someone in his camp like I had to say that and I was like there's no way this person actually even like they don't believe me

Speaker 3 The closest thing there is to sports right now is Top Chef Masters is on, and you can bet on that, too. So I've been a big Top Chef guy for the last like 10 years.
So that's kind of cool.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's yeah, that's something they need to bring back top top chef kids. That's the funniest show like on TV.
That's chopped. That's chopped kids.
Chopped kids. That is the funniest show on TV.

Speaker 3 If you are looking to kill some time, I think there's a couple seasons on

Speaker 3 demand. It is so, so funny.
Top chef is great.

Speaker 3 If you like people getting eliminated every season for the same mistakes, like somebody tries to make risotto, someone tries to make ice cream in 10 minutes and it never ever works.

Speaker 3 And then they cry and get cut and they say that they should have have been true to themselves when they were cooking and everyone's like yeah that's a good point they did also obviously we're taping this before WrestleMania night two but wrestlemania night one was last night I don't know if you guys caught any of it but the Undertaker AJ Styles match was one of the funniest like weirdly entertaining matches I've ever watched in wrestling history because it was pre-taped in a graveyard it was the Boneyard match

Speaker 3 Undertaker ended up burying him alive, which has been a theme of his career, but it was like the perfect level of super cheesy and bad where it just became good and awesome.

Speaker 3 I've been watching a lot of backyard wrestling, and that's this is now backyard wrestling's time to shine for like two brothers that are both somehow named Travis in Central Tennessee to just set up a camcorder in their backyard and go out and slam each other onto barbed wire.

Speaker 3 This is this is your time to really wow us with your content. But I haven't been watching any of the WrestleMania so far this year.
Why they split it up into two nights?

Speaker 3 I think just to get more viewers. I mean, it's just and also give people a little extra time to, you know.
I mean, it's nice. They should split.
It's like the draft.

Speaker 3 The draft should be seven weeks long. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Isn't wrestling like built on fans, though? It is. It's very bizarre because you can also hear the,

Speaker 3 like, it's, it's just bizarre. It's a bizarre feeling.
But that's why The Undertaker AJ Styles thing was funny because it was a pre-taped in a boneyard that was just so weird.

Speaker 3 But yeah, it is, it definitely feels, it feels like almost like you're watching a video game.

Speaker 3 It's hard to it's hard to explain and also if you hear like I saw a couple clips of the Spanish announcer and you can hear very vividly the other announcers the real announcers because there's no one in the room when they're wrestling

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, I need to I need to get into wrestling.

Speaker 3 I feel like that's the last once once I start get getting really into like pay-per-view wrestling streams That's when you know that we're scraping the bottle bottom of the barrel for sports because I've never been like mid-90s I watched a little bit of WWE, but I've been totally out of it But at that point, if I'm selling out 79 bucks for wrestling, then you know that we're in very dire straits right now.

Speaker 3 Yes. Yes.
I got a question for you, Hank. A new hot in the street, a new meme that I just saw earlier today.
What's up with the funeral meme? Oh my God. It's so funny.
So funny. So funny.

Speaker 3 That guy made it. I forget.
Dan, what is it? Dan something?

Speaker 3 Yeah. Mason.

Speaker 3 Mason.

Speaker 3 He just, he just.

Speaker 3 It just, he just made it come out of the blue, but it's very, very funny. You just got to find like a clip of someone getting hit or like when you got stuffed by Big Cat or like something like that.

Speaker 3 I don't know what you're talking about. Just guys dancing at your funeral.
Yeah. Or what if it was Roger Goodell saying with the second overall pick in the FL draft, the Chicago Bears?

Speaker 3 Select Mitch and then it boom. Well, it's going to be either that or the double doink.
Either that or the double doink.

Speaker 3 Or just you saying the bears are going to be. No, but it needs to be the video of Big Cat watching the double doink.
Right.

Speaker 3 Like it would be the video of me stuffing you. Gotcha.
That's right. I don't know what video.
Right. Right.
That's what I was trying to say.

Speaker 3 All right. Should we do oh, and I had a broken leg.
Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 3 He didn't need surgery on. Broken foot.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 It's a pretty much broken leg.

Speaker 3 All right. Let's do it.

Speaker 3 Who's back of the week? Hank, why don't you start? My who's back of the week is just my wardrobe and my like feng shui.

Speaker 3 Who is it? Marie Kondo is like the get rid of all your stuff. Does it spark joy? So I did that this weekend.

Speaker 3 Honestly, I was mentioning this pre before the show, and Big Cat told me to save it because that's where we're at in the world.

Speaker 3 But I got rid of, I like took all my clothes out and got rid of probably like five trash bags of them, donated them or whatever. How many sweatshirts do you guys think I still have?

Speaker 3 You're that's like what you wear every single day. Right.
I'm going to say you probably have like 20 sweatshirts. Yeah, yeah, 20 seems like a good, good guess, PFT.

Speaker 3 What's your guess, Big Cat? 20. I like that guess.
I think that's right. You're taking his guess.
Okay, 19 solidarity. 19.

Speaker 3 26. Okay.
I was just stuck with 20.

Speaker 3 It got pulled. 26.

Speaker 3 Why do you have 26 sweatshirts? I don't know. I had like 46.
You know, I was getting rid of so many, and then I was like, all right, this is a good amount to have. 46? Well,

Speaker 3 I got rid of so many clothes. I got rid of so many clothes.
And then afterwards, I was like, all right, I'm done. Like, literally got rid of four giant trash bags.
And then I counted them.

Speaker 3 I was like, well, I still have 26 sweatshirts, but 24.

Speaker 3 sparked 746

Speaker 3 that's so many sweatshirts

Speaker 3 what was what was the sweatshirt that like just barely made the cut like number 25 or 26 uh thanks rico bosco i was like i don't want to wear this but just barely made the cut i was getting rid of a lot i had to get rid of a lot i had to get rid of a lot of them rico's not gonna like hearing that no i think i still kept it no i kept it because some things but if you had if if someone came to your house right now and said only 20 sweatshirts allowed cdc guideline only 20 sweatshirts allowed rico bosco wouldn't make the cut i mean if we're in the trust tree that's probably true

Speaker 3 you just moved the goal post because we were talking about 26 i clay travest you yeah you did that's insane and then my other who's back of the week is just video games i've just i mean that's really i've just been playing video games for like

Speaker 3 this entire quarantine but we have a part of my take twitch channel i can't wait till in two weeks when you're like sick of video games just like you got sick of uh being high no i'm getting good though.

Speaker 3 I'm getting, I'm, I'm very bad, so it's like I'm getting better.

Speaker 3 Uh, he was, I actually was talking to to shout out Triggs, our uh artist who who does all the cover art for uh, pardon my take, and also made the the um book, the the coloring book that was so awesome.

Speaker 3 And watching like kids fill it out is so, so awesome. Triggs has a newborn as well, and he texted me.

Speaker 3 He was like, I wanted to throw my phone through the wall when Hank said, This uh quarantine has ruined getting high because it's not fun anymore

Speaker 3 yeah I mean you got spark joy somehow Hank have you been trying out new pieces like different devices

Speaker 3 yeah I got a couple I got a couple wraps a couple cigars mixed it up okay good it's just it's no different than than doing new positions to keep things like fresh in a relationship so Hank's got to fall back in love with getting high yeah I've just been trying to do it like once a day just save it so I have something to like look forward to at night speaking of chopped for children should just give hank like three or four ingredients every day and he has to make a bowl piece out of whatever we give him

Speaker 3 i'm a good guy

Speaker 3 yeah yeah yeah okay i'll think of some i'll think of three things for tomorrow uh is that it's ft that's it uh my who's back of the week is uh global dimming have you guys heard about global dimming no All right, so I got really down this rabbit hole last night because some people are saying, you know, what's going to be a nice like byproduct of everybody staying in place is carbon emissions are going to go down.

Speaker 3 Aerosol emissions are going to go down. It means that it's going to be better for the environment overall.

Speaker 3 Uh-uh, not so fast, my friend, because there's something called global dimming, which is the effect that aerosol and all those little particles have when it's in our environment and in the atmosphere every single day.

Speaker 3 It actually protects us a little bit from the sun's rays and makes the Earth a little bit cooler because we've put so much shit into the atmosphere.

Speaker 3 Now that all that's dipping down, it's actually going to increase the short-term effect of global warming. So we're doubly fucked.
So it's going to be hotter this summer? It's going to be really hot.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 And it's El Niño, which I, Jesus, I didn't even think about that. That's the ultimate, like, you could blame anything on El Niño.
El Niño.

Speaker 3 What does El Niño stand for again? According to Chris Farley, it was the Niño, the boy. I think it means Jesus, actually.

Speaker 3 From what I'm told, Chilean fishermen used to think that Jesus was coming every like five years because their catches would be they'd have so much more fish But it was just because the water was a little bit warmer.

Speaker 3 So yeah, we're um this is like the perfect storm of shit that's about to hit our entire environment right now. Okay, so you're the negative guy today because that was very negative.
Yep.

Speaker 3 I'm just being a realist. Just being a realistic.
No, listen, there's no we don't believe you. I don't believe you.
We can't look down on the negative person of each show because it is realist.

Speaker 3 Like that is what we need. We need someone to be like, hey, it's the world is kind of fucked.
So there it is. We're doubly fucked.
But again,

Speaker 3 if it goes back to climate change, there are some advantages to having.

Speaker 3 No, no, I was about to get too negative. I'm not going to get that negative.
Better who's back of the week is true love because Jon Snow keeps falling in love with anyone who talks to him. So

Speaker 3 that guy is a sap. And I was today years old when I found out that there was a difference between Jon Snow and Rob Stark.
So I've been really paying attention pretty closely to Game of Thrones.

Speaker 3 Daniel Jones and Eli Manning. Simpin ain't easy, baby it's not easy but it's necessary

Speaker 3 um all right my who's back rob stark kind of a huge simp major simp they're both simps to be honest with you big time um

Speaker 3 fat me's all the way back i stepped on the scale today i'm up

Speaker 3 13 pounds since quarantine started i mean you were going hard big cat like i didn't i like i mean i would talk to you about it but you were you were really there was like two months where i was like big cat's going hard at this diet

Speaker 3 and it's far it's completely falling apart i've i've been averaging like four hot dogs a day the last three days. It's a pace that cannot be kept up.
Pizza, ice cream.

Speaker 3 So I'm getting back on track tomorrow, officially. Are you wearing your 80-pound weight vest when you step on the scale? Because if so, you've actually lost a lot of weight.
No,

Speaker 3 I actually have my own weight vest now that is my body because I took a walk yesterday and like my knees hurt after. I was like, damn, I didn't have my weight vest on.

Speaker 3 Oh, wait, I've gained like a way too much weight in the last two weeks. This is probably it.
So

Speaker 3 back on track. You know what I've started doing on Saturdays? I don't know if this is good or not.
I've been going for bike rides, like actual analog non-Peloton outdoor bike rides,

Speaker 3 which is

Speaker 3 safe, right? That's a throwback. Yeah, such a throwback.
I've been like biking to the convenience store and getting like a 20-ounce Mountain Dew and then riding home. It feels pretty good.

Speaker 3 Some Reese's cups. Yeah, some Reese.

Speaker 3 I was thinking, here's how bored I was the other day. I was like, what if I just biked around Manhattan, just did like a big lap around the entire island? It's like 30 miles.

Speaker 3 You think I could do that? Yeah, absolutely. You could do it.

Speaker 3 Okay, that's what I'll do. Next week, I'll do a personal race around Manhattan.
You got this. You got this for sure.
And then my other who's back is Internet 1.0. I'm bringing back Internet 1.0.

Speaker 3 So on Friday night, I did Periscope Bar Hopping, which is just basically finding random people who are periscoping for like five people and then retweeting it and everyone going in and being being really nice.

Speaker 3 But that's the key. It's not internet 2.0.
We're not trying to fuck with people.

Speaker 3 We're just being nice, trying to signal boost all the struggling artists out there who are trying to get out there and doing their art for like six people every night on Periscope.

Speaker 3 We're signal boosting them and making them feel good. So trying to make the internet like fun again.
I don't know. This might be stupid.
I like that. Yeah.
I like that. Just like be nice.

Speaker 3 I don't know.

Speaker 3 I was trying to do that when I was crashing different Zoom meetings. Like I crashed this one instructor who was teaching people how to like do the cup dancing thing or the cup drums.

Speaker 3 And then the FBI put out all these guidances saying, like, it's against the law to do that. And so, it felt like it was getting to a bad place.
Well, like, some of the negativity was the Rangers one.

Speaker 3 Yes. What?

Speaker 3 The New York Rangers Zoom on Friday night was not good. Yeah, exactly.
So, I've been looking for something like a more constructive, positive way to go just see random new people.

Speaker 3 Hop in whenever I, whenever we go, I'm going to keep it very random because if I if I if I do it consistently It will it will get ruined So it will be totally random, but we found a woman who's now painting us something for our studio I found a woman that I keep having lunch with in New Zealand every day named Luis who's very nice So yeah, it's internet 1.0 just connect use the internet for the good things not the bad things What is internet one?

Speaker 3 I've never heard that phrase before is that like

Speaker 3 internet 1.0

Speaker 3 I appreciate it. That's good what you're doing Paqueta but I also feel like internet 1.0 was like way worse.
Well way more of like a,

Speaker 3 there was definitely free-for-all, but there was less cynicism. So it's, it's like less sarcasm, cynicism in the internet.
I know what you're saying, Hank.

Speaker 3 Like internet 1.0 was definitely like, hey, look at this video of a guy getting beheaded. That's cool.
Like that definitely happened a lot, Internet 1.0.

Speaker 3 But I also think Internet 1.0, people had more pure intentions. So like people were doing things just to do them, not to go viral.

Speaker 3 Or it wasn't like people weren't putting out videos to troll people or like like i'm always think of like danny boy kane as internet 1.0 he was just as genuine and as pure as could be and that's what these periscopes are internet i think of soldier boy soldier boy naming uh taking every popular song and putting it on line wire but then actually it just was a soldier boy song yeah renaming it so like you download like 50 cent into club and then it would just be soldier boy

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 3 that was, that was huge. Like every song, if you tried to download a Beatles song,

Speaker 3 it was usually Soldier Boy. Everything would just be like, crank that.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 So I guess maybe Internet 1.0 isn't the exact phrase for it, but I would say just less sarcasm, less cynicism in the internet, and less like everything is the worst and we're all going to die and everything leads back to politics.

Speaker 3 That's what I'm trying to bring back.

Speaker 3 So like getting away from global dimming is what you're getting at. Yeah, but we need to at least be aware of it.
So I appreciate you doing that. Just trying to educate people.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 It might also be another hoax. I'm I'm primed to get hoaxed by somebody right now.
Yeah. Yeah.
The hoaxes are

Speaker 3 going everywhere right now. QAnon has really sunk their teeth into this entire thing.
Would you say that Internet 1.0 is like you log on to rotten.com and then boom, funeral meme? Yes, yes.

Speaker 3 It's something like that.

Speaker 3 There's definitely parts of Internet 1.0 where you would definitely see more dead bodies than Internet 2.0 because they didn't have the filters yet. The quality filters.

Speaker 3 No, I'm like a seasoned detective in a tv drama and then all these kids that are starting to get into the weird web i'm like new guys over in the corner puking he can't handle it yeah right right exactly um all right let's get to our interviews we got danny woodhead coming up first before we do that uh a word

Speaker 6 Aldi is now on Uber Eats. So whether your fridge is empty and you're too tired to shop, or you just ran out of essential ingredients, don't worry, we got you.

Speaker 6 Get 40% off your first Aldi order on Uber Eats with code New Aldi25. Orders orders $30 or more save up to $25 and it's 1231 see out for details all right here he is Danny Woodhead

Speaker 3 okay we now welcome on a good friend recurring guest it is Danny Woodhead he's a podcaster now go download his podcast out of nowhere Danny it's good to have you on it's good to see your face you got a great mustache I also want to do something real quick I want to I think we're going to run this Monday but

Speaker 3 we'll edit a little bit of this. We'll selectively edit it, and we'll pretend that we taped this like two months ago.
Perfect, Danny, where do you think Tom Brady's going to go?

Speaker 3 Right now, it's really up in the air. I mean, I think there's a chance he could leave.
I would say it's like 60, 40 he leaves.

Speaker 3 I would say

Speaker 3 out of the, you know, I think out of the teams, the possibilities are, I know this sounds crazy, the raiders

Speaker 3 chargers

Speaker 3 the kansas city chiefs or the tampa bay buccaneers the box i like the chiefs as one of them too yeah i the thing is the chiefs yeah they want a super bowl i get it but uh there's rumors that they're not happy with mahomes and they his leadership they want tom there for a year have him grow you have to look ahead in this league too you know like okay yeah pat mahomes did it last year but it's about what's going to happen.

Speaker 3 You don't get paid for past performance. This isn't like the NBA where they'll give you an $80 million contract because of what you commit to the franchise.

Speaker 3 It's more likely that he's going to go to the Chiefs and the Bucks. The Bucs is the craziest one there.
Right, right. I think the Chiefs have the upper hand right now,

Speaker 3 but it just, it kind of depends on their cap. You know, I think they pay Tom and just wait for a year for an extension with Patty.
Give him a one-year deal. Give him a one-year deal.

Speaker 3 Next year, they'll extend Patty M. That's not a bad idea because you see how much he learned from Alex Smith as a backup.
Imagine what he could learn spending a year backing up Tom Brady.

Speaker 3 It's like the ceiling would just go so much higher for him. Plus, there's a track record of getting New England quarterbacks down in Kansas City, like Matt Castle went down there and he was amazing.

Speaker 3 Like this is, it's like a pipeline. Yeah,

Speaker 3 I would consider, I mean, anyone that's played NCA football knows pipelines, recruiting pipelines. Well, back, you know, getting a quarterback pipeline to from New England to Kansas City makes sense.

Speaker 3 And think about that. We're talking about Pat Mahomes' ceiling right now as being a solid winner.
We already reached it. He's already reached it.
He won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 You know, he won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 He won a Super Bowl, right? Right. He maxed this out.
Right. Right.
Playoff game. Do you want Pat Super Bowl? Yeah.
He and his ceiling. Yeah.
Do you want Pat to win a Super Bowl or Super Bowls? Right?

Speaker 3 Great point.

Speaker 3 Great point. Glass half full.
Well, so what about what about your boy Philip Rivers? Because you also played with old Phil. Do you have an inside track on where he's going to go?

Speaker 3 You know, with,

Speaker 3 you know, with the, obviously, he's not going back to the Chargers.

Speaker 3 I don't, no, no, I just don't think he's going to. I mean,

Speaker 3 there's been talks that maybe

Speaker 3 they're done with him.

Speaker 3 I know.

Speaker 3 That's what I thought. It is a cold world.
So I think the Bucs could be in it too.

Speaker 3 The Bucs, the Colts, and there's a lot of rumors flying around that the Pittsburgh Steelers. Oh, interesting.
Now, I was thinking maybe Baltimore, too. Well, yeah, Baltimore, too.

Speaker 3 Just because

Speaker 3 kind of the same deal as Mahomes.

Speaker 3 Yeah, super cool. You were an MVP, but like, you need to learn from someone.
Yeah. In all seriousness, so you obviously played with the Patriots.
You were around Tom Brady.

Speaker 3 You were around Bill Belichick. Did any of this shock you at all?

Speaker 3 Or were you like, it kind of makes sense because he had the writing was on the wall and it felt like something that he was going to do by negotiating this freedom?

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 3 you asked me five years ago, I would have said it never happens. Never.

Speaker 3 I would have been like, he's going to finish in New England, do his deal there, and

Speaker 3 that's what it's going to be. But who predicted he was going to play till he was 53? Right.
And

Speaker 3 that's the thing is now he's getting to the age,

Speaker 3 obviously, where he's getting close to Social Security. But more than anything, he's getting to the age where it's like, I just want to do my own thing.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 that's kind of what I see it as is he probably just wants to do his own thing. And like, let's not fault him for that.
Like, if he, I played in four jerseys.

Speaker 3 I mean, granted, I don't have a legacy, but still, like, disagree. Yeah, you're right.
You're right. Good call.
Good call. I have a legacy.
It's just more of a leg. A lega.

Speaker 3 It's a slightly injured leg. It's just, yes.

Speaker 3 What are we going to argue? Are we going to be like, oh, Tom really wasn't that good? Oh, he wasn't, Yamoran? No, it's just a weird visual. It really is.
I completely agree with you.

Speaker 3 He is the greatest of all time. That's not kind of up for debate anymore.
It's just a weird thing

Speaker 3 like see him because they're going to play in a lot of primetime games and we're going to see Tom Brady in a Bucks uniform. And it's going to be weird.

Speaker 3 And it's going to be weird that the Patriots are going to play a whole heck of a lot of one o'clock games. Yeah.
Yeah. That's true.
Like, yeah, I don't.

Speaker 3 There's rumors that they're not even going to have him on television.

Speaker 3 Bury him. Just put him behind a paywall.
It's going to, yeah. It's going to be, it is.
It's going to be behind a paywall. It's going to be behind a paywall or like PBS.
Nicola.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you'll play

Speaker 3 a ton of like London games.

Speaker 3 It's like, oh, congratulations, Patriots. You have four home games in London.
It's like,

Speaker 3 it's like, no, no, we don't. First of all, the field is terrible.
So like, we don't want to play there. Second of all, that's the stupidest idea ever.

Speaker 3 I do kind of agree with you that with Brady, he wants to do something a little bit different because do you see that he's going to be on Howard Stern next week? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Like he's going going to sit down with him. Like, there's no chance that would ever happen if you think he's going to take his shirt off.
No, well,

Speaker 3 it's actually like it's funny because it's both of them in their like the later phase of their careers where, like, you'd be like, oh, is Howard Stern gonna ask him about his sex?

Speaker 3 Like, no, because he's not the same Howard Stern anymore. And Tom Brady, in a weird way, is opening up more than he probably ever has.

Speaker 3 So it's like two ships passing in the night when it comes to how that interview could have been great. and it probably will be just whatever.

Speaker 3 I would say, even the last, would it be more year where Tom's like, he's on social media, he's

Speaker 3 doing this, he did the Facebook thing, the Facebook show, whatever the heck that was.

Speaker 3 But I will say, like, once you, once you leave, I mean,

Speaker 3 I don't know how many times have I been on the show, it doesn't really matter. But the first time we talked, I was just like, I don't know, first year out of New England.

Speaker 3 It's like, if you look at the just my progression as far as comfortability talking to people

Speaker 3 it's i i i guess when i was in san diego i thought bill was going to come to my house and like do the tickle monster or something and do something weird to me you know where so maybe maybe maybe he knows that bill can be the tickle monster yeah now so i went on your show a couple weeks ago you're very good at podcasts i'm actually i'm a little bit threatened by you because like most most former athletes they start their podcast and they're like you know what this is going to be easy i'm just going to talk about my playing days all the time you're you're pretty good at it so how much tape did you watch part of my take before you taped your first episode you know you got to watch a lot of tape i mean because you have to put yourself in those different scenarios so i don't know like you have to watch

Speaker 3 not every film not every podcast but you got to watch about it you know half of them at least because what if i'm in that scenario or what if i'm in that scenario you know Bill Toppy. Mark Schlares

Speaker 3 wants you to piss your pants next to him.

Speaker 3 You got to be prepared.

Speaker 3 Situational podcasting. Like,

Speaker 3 am I going to have to stick a whole thing of Red Man in my mouth? I don't know. Probably.

Speaker 3 But yeah, like that, yeah, probably at some point you're going to have to do that. And I don't know.
Am I going to have to start smoking heaters? I don't know.

Speaker 3 Not that you guys did that, but maybe I have to. Probably.
All right, I got a real question for you. You ready for this? Yes, I'm more than ready.

Speaker 3 Well, so so we're obviously in a weird ass time right now.

Speaker 3 No one knows what the future is going to hold here for when sports are going to come back, but I would assume as we're sitting here, oh, actually, we're supposed to, the coronavirus seems like it could be a big deal.

Speaker 3 I saw the first case in China. There, we covered our past that we taped this in January.
No, but in all seriousness, the

Speaker 3 season will probably be delayed, like in terms of, or it will be a shortened training camp, right? Like, guys will have to be coming back and kind of rushing into it.

Speaker 3 Similar thing happened in 2011 you were in the league then the lockout lasted until July what which side does that favor like are guys really working out hard on their own or is it something that guys are gonna be a little out of shape like how how does that all play out in your mind I mean it's in some ways it's similar to the lockout but in other ways it's not at all because there's nowhere to train so it's it's total self-discipline and I mean that that's what's gonna like

Speaker 3 the people that are gonna to have the edge are the people that have veterans who actually care and know what it's about.

Speaker 3 You look at the lockout year.

Speaker 3 We were so far, that was the year we went to the Super Bowl and Deb losing to the Giants, but we were so far ahead of everyone because everyone knew training camps happening regardless with Bill.

Speaker 3 You better be ready. And if you're not, like, you're going to be fired.
You're not going to have a job.

Speaker 3 And I don't know, then you're going to go do whatever the heck you would do if you didn't have a job.

Speaker 3 So I would favor the teams that a little bit more discipline and I would not favor the teams that don't and just kind of do whatever the heck they want because there's a lot of guys that just don't do anything.

Speaker 3 It's also crazy to think about teams with new coaches and like how the hell

Speaker 3 are

Speaker 3 or team maybe not even teams new coaches but like a team like the dolphins who have three first round picks who are going to be like throwing a lot of draft capital around and try to pick up a lot of like new rookies and make their team young overnight.

Speaker 3 How the hell do you then try to get a training camp when it might not start till August? See, I think that's going to be hard. Uh, and

Speaker 3 I'm one to believe that if it would have been normal offseason, not saying they're going to make the playoffs, but the Dolphins have some good coaches. The B-Flow, the Brian Flores,

Speaker 3 really good. He was a quality control special teams dude when I was there in New England.
Dude, Rose the Rinks, unbelievable coach.

Speaker 3 And he's, I mean, I thought he did one of the best coaching jobs in the NFL last year. I mean,

Speaker 3 hopefully no Dolphins get offended. It's like the trashiest football team we've seen in the NFL since the 0-16 Lions, right? They were actively trying to lose.

Speaker 3 They were actively trying to lose, and they ended up being competitive towards the end of the season. Right.
The Bengals, too.

Speaker 3 The Bengals were like exactly bad enough to lose almost all their games, but it never felt like the Bengals were just getting the crap kicked out of them week in, week out.

Speaker 3 right and no i i totally agree and so

Speaker 3 the dolphins with all the cap because they do have a ton of draft capital they have so much

Speaker 3 so much they can they can do whether it's even trading up more

Speaker 3 they can do whatever they want and and that's what's exciting but it's not exciting like you said because there's going to be no offseason and that's going to be difficult i think I mean, man,

Speaker 3 my rookie year, I wouldn't have been ready until the season. Obviously, I ended up getting hurt, but you go in for the offseason, you don't even know what you're doing.

Speaker 3 The offenses are so much different. People saying that college offenses, oh, yeah, I, you know, it's we run an NFL offense.
No, you don't, you're lying.

Speaker 3 Like, that's that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Now, let me say this:

Speaker 3 LSU might have had a little bit of a because of

Speaker 3 Brady being there. And

Speaker 3 he ran it, you could tell that was an NFL offense, but still he's in the NFL now. Yeah, exactly.
But so it's it's gonna be hard because it's it's different either,

Speaker 3 especially. So like if I had running backs, like you have to pass pro like and run.
Like the pass pro is maybe the number one deal.

Speaker 3 And if you if you can't figure that out, just the pass protections, you're not playing. So like I'm thinking of that as just a running back.
Think of it as the offensive line.

Speaker 3 Like there's a lot of teams that need offensive linemen. Well, and there's some good offensive linemen, but if you don't have the time to understand what you're doing, well, you're going to suck.

Speaker 3 You're not going to, it doesn't mean you're a bad player. It's just you're not going to do well.
Quarterbacks, that's one position. If you got,

Speaker 3 I don't know if he's a genius, but I think Burrow and I think Tua, I think they're both really good.

Speaker 3 I don't know what type of development they're going to, but that's something you get drafted because the draft's going to go on.

Speaker 3 They're going to find a way to get playbooks.

Speaker 3 Let's not joke around with ourselves, be like, oh, yeah,

Speaker 3 they can get it only once they, no, they're going to get playbooks somehow. And they'll be able to study.
And that's something that I think it'll be very hard.

Speaker 3 But if you have a dude that is like a Tom Brady or a Phillip Rivers, someone that just grinds and wants to know what everyone does, they might be able to figure it out, but it's still going to be difficult.

Speaker 3 Right. Right.

Speaker 3 And what about the idea of having a team like installed like a custom playbook almost in a Madden type game and then giving that out to every single player and be like, okay, yeah, you can't do the stuff like offensive linemen and work as a team and learn what the guy next to you is going to do and get that feel down, but you can still like take those mental reps and figure out what you're going to do on every single play.

Speaker 3 You know what? I think actually

Speaker 3 that would be brilliant if like you could have like the terminology like similar or the same

Speaker 3 and

Speaker 3 you just play Madden. Now, is it going to be the same? Of course not.

Speaker 3 But as far as like, for receivers, it'd be super helpful. For running backs, it'd be very helpful.

Speaker 3 There's things you have to learn, like the snap count.

Speaker 3 Every team has a different

Speaker 3 verbiage for, you know, the snap count and all that. And there's going to be different

Speaker 3 verbiage as far as like

Speaker 3 who

Speaker 3 this is a little more in depth, but a quarterback points out the mic some teams have the center point out the mic teams have like there's certain things that will be different so like communication wise from the line and the quarterback but even just like the simplicity knowing what the name of the plays are that'd be huge

Speaker 3 so I have the other question semi-serious uh with the cancellation of all the pro days and a lot of guys not having a shot like you went undrafted but you had an unbelievable 40 time and and showed out in your you you know in your workouts if danny woodhead was coming out of college right now in 2020 would you knowing this isn't you but would you be on the instagram doing a lot of like look at how many push-ups look how fast i can run like instagram live here's me squatting a million pounds would you have to do that because i think that's really the only way you can get like people to to take notice that you're still working out and still someone that should be you know on a roster oh i'd definitely do something like that i mean it'd be super weird and it'd be like man i i'm an i'm a influencer pro day or guy you know like that'd be that'd be like the weirdest thing and i'm not usually comfortable doing stuff like that but i'd do it because if i wanted opportunity part of part of the whole nfl combine pro day deal is looking the part

Speaker 3 is is is looking the part like so when i ran my 40 when it was at nebraska guys, like I was, that's when I was in good shape. Like, I was shredded.

Speaker 3 I was like 5'8, 200 and as shredded as I've ever been in my life. And so what did I do? I ran in just

Speaker 3 tights because I took my shirt off and made sure everyone saw this little white boy from Nebraska that he can run really fast and he looks jacked. Yep.

Speaker 3 So the Instagram, you basically were doing Instagram without Instagram.

Speaker 3 Ish. I mean, you you were strapping all the scouts.

Speaker 3 I just Instagram live. The thing is, you know, and

Speaker 3 front offices, they have some dude always looking at everyone's Twitter. They like make sure like

Speaker 3 they're looking at every college kid's Twitter. They're looking at their own players' Twitters, Instagrams, whatever it may be.
So like,

Speaker 3 they're out there. They may not be their names, but they're out there.
I I don't know what the heck they are, but we'd always come in and

Speaker 3 like, for instance, in New England, Bill would always know if something crazy went down on Twitter and it wasn't even like big, but it was somewhat crazy. It's like,

Speaker 3 like, who's up at one o'clock in the morning looking up this stupid stuff? You know, like, like, don't you got something going on? Well, they have, they have someone doing it for them.

Speaker 3 I always thought that the whole like snap face Insta chat thing that Bill would say, I thought that was always always bullshit because he knows he knows what all these apps are.

Speaker 3 He has to, he knows everything.

Speaker 3 He'd be my face, Spacebook. I mean, like, yeah, yeah, my for all those people that don't know what MySpace was, there was another social media, MySpace, and Facebook together.

Speaker 3 I know people don't know that, but Spacebook, MyFace. He needs to always be like, you're doing that all that

Speaker 3 tweeting thing or whatever it is. And we're like, Bill, you this is the 47th time you've said this joke.
You know what Twitter is, you know what Instagram is.

Speaker 3 You're probably tick-tocking, you know, like that.

Speaker 3 That's my guess. Absolutely, absolutely.
I was wondering about the drug testing aspect of things. Like, is Goodell sending out his like piss collectors to like going door to door?

Speaker 3 Because that's not healthy. That's not good social distancing.
Or do you think a lot of guys are smoking the reef? Well,

Speaker 3 I wouldn't be so. I mean, I'm sure they probably are, you know,

Speaker 3 yeah, yeah, I aren't. I'm sure they probably aren't.

Speaker 3 But

Speaker 3 yeah, that's, that's not good.

Speaker 3 Well,

Speaker 3 I mean, if you have a, if you have someone drug testing you,

Speaker 3 they're getting up close and personal. What if, like,

Speaker 3 like, that's not good. Someone say they randomly were a carrier and they sneeze on the person that's drug testing that is like, you know, right, eyes on your crotch.

Speaker 3 Yeah. So that's what they do.
That's what they do. Yeah.
Is that, is that weird, just having somebody just watch you pee? You know what? It's super weird.

Speaker 3 But by the time by the end, by the year 10, you're like, come on in. You know, just come on in.

Speaker 3 Come on in and watch you.

Speaker 3 That's what I'd always joke. So we'd, towards the end of my career,

Speaker 3 I'd be like, so.

Speaker 3 Because you'd know their name because usually it was this, and it wasn't always the same person, but you'd get the same people from time and time again. And they

Speaker 3 they'd be i was like so come on over here come come on come on over here you can watch me pee i i'm pulling my pants down you want me to pull them down to my knees or where do you need me to pull them you need to take my shirt off

Speaker 3 and sometimes it weirded them out i thought it was kind of funny yeah i mean obviously like with the new cba i think it's they're not even testing for marijuana anymore but right i still feel like now's the time if you were to try to get away with taking some peds you could just tell the person like oh i'm i've got symptoms of the virus.

Speaker 3 And then there's no chance that somebody would go into a bathroom install with you. It would be the easiest time ever to take PEDs.
The

Speaker 3 absolute easiest time because you could get out of it. Like, what are they going to stay? No, you don't have symptoms.
Yes, I do. And then you just, maybe you just cough or something.
Right. Like,

Speaker 3 you will

Speaker 3 not get tested.

Speaker 3 Billy Football just tweeted actually like two minutes ago that this is, if we don't have football for 18 months, this is the perfect time to do a couple cycles so he's telling everyone that right now um all right another sliding door moment question that i'm very curious about and this might be like a little nerdy you know inside college football recruiting do you think if danny woodhead was 16 17 years old right now do you think scott frost would have him walk on at nebraska

Speaker 3 No, I think he would, I think he would have offered me a scholarship. There you go.

Speaker 3 I actually agree.

Speaker 3 I agree because I read an entire, like a long, I think it was like the Omaha.com or something wrote a whole article about

Speaker 3 basically the demise of Nebraska football has been the walk-on

Speaker 3 program and going and getting like all these guys from smaller high schools and being like, hey, come and we'll build you into a football player. And you were listed in it.

Speaker 3 They're like, how does Nebraska miss on Danny Woodhead?

Speaker 3 Like that would be in the Tom Osborne era, that would be the perfect guy that they bring in and ends up being like an unbelievable college football player after red shirting and like sitting on the bench for three years.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you know, the thing is, I

Speaker 3 looking back, like, yeah, do I wish I could have? I wish I had the opportunity, whatever. You know, like, that's neither here nor there.
Do I think I would have, do I think I would have gone there?

Speaker 3 Yes, I do. I also think football's at a different time now.
Like,

Speaker 3 you want quicker, faster people on the field.

Speaker 3 When I was coming out of high school, there wasn't as many. I mean, there are some.
I mean, everyone,

Speaker 3 we all know some reasons why I didn't, you know, get offered, and that's okay. But

Speaker 3 now there's a fit for the... the smaller running back.
Like, that's,

Speaker 3 if I'm a coach,

Speaker 3 I'm probably not playing a big back.

Speaker 3 If I'm a head coach, even in the NFL, I want a back that's 5'10 or shorter. People are going to laugh at it, but I don't want a 6'2 running back.

Speaker 3 I want a 5'10 or shorter, 210 to 200-pound running back who's fast, can catch the ball. And then I'll go get a six-foot, 225-pounder that can run on the goal line or something.

Speaker 3 But like, I don't, I want to, I want to score points. Right.

Speaker 3 So you get a running back that is super skilled and can catch the ball and can run between the tackles. He doesn't have to be 220.
You can have him 205. You don't even have to have him 205.

Speaker 3 But you get a dude that can run the ball too. It's just like, it's cat and mouse.
They're like, all right, they put nickel on.

Speaker 3 Okay, we can throw it or we can run it down their throats, depending on personnel. Say you're in 12 personnel, two tight ends.
They're in nickel. It's like, all right, run.
Oh, oh,

Speaker 3 you're in base. You're in base.
We're going to go empty and we're going to kill you and make you look stupid. I actually think part of that,

Speaker 3 you know, it's obvious Derrick Henry is unbelievable, but part of

Speaker 3 everyone loving him is he's a little bit of a throwback in that way. Like you don't see those type of monster backs like you might have, you know, 10, 20 years ago.
Right.

Speaker 3 And the thing is, Derrick Henry, amazing. He's one of few.
Right. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm going to go get Derrick Henry.
No, you're not.

Speaker 3 I think that there are going to be some coaches that try to get a Derrick Henry because the NFL NFL is like very much just what have we seen recently, like a copycat type of league.

Speaker 3 And so they're going to be offensive coordinators that just try to plug any six foot three, 235 pound guy in at running back, and it's going to fail miserably.

Speaker 3 It's the most moronic thing you could do. Like, I know that's what the NFL does, but unless you have the Dallas Cowboys offensive line of three years ago, you don't do it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I like how your explanation of the type of running back that you want progressively just became more and more descriptive of Danny Woodhead.

Speaker 3 It was like, you know, I'd take like a guy who's like less than six feet, maybe 5'10.

Speaker 3 But I usually played it at 200, not 210. So 210, 200 pounds, like a guy that can bounce it outside, catch the ball, but also get him between the, like, almost like a Christian McCaffrey type.

Speaker 3 Like you narrowed it down at the end, where it was just like, if we were playing guess who, I would have correctly identified that you were talking about Danny Woodhead. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 I had one last question for you.

Speaker 3 Nebraska, coronavirus, you guys aren't doing anything anything differently are you

Speaker 3 no we are

Speaker 3 sure we definitely are i so because we were out of state so we came back and

Speaker 3 because

Speaker 3 so i have a friend that's a doctor and he's kind of dealing with it all so i kind of knew the i don't want to say the severity but i i knew that it could spread so we were like

Speaker 3 Once we got back, we're going to self-quarant because we didn't know if we could have came in contact with it. Because this is when it was starting to blow up.

Speaker 3 I don't know what everyone else is doing.

Speaker 3 I would say the advantage we have is we are so spread out. Yeah.
No, that's what I assume. And I would do the same thing.

Speaker 3 Like, I always just think that the rural, the more rural states, if I were living in one of them right now, I'd be like, come on, we're so spread out. Like, I mean, think about this.

Speaker 3 It took like New York to have thousands of cases and people to start dying for everyone in New York to be like, like, okay, maybe I won't go outside anymore.

Speaker 3 So it's, it's just a really hard thing to let your brain accept what's going on. So I just assume the more rural states are like, we're good.
Well, I think there are some that are like that.

Speaker 3 Now, Omaha, not a metropolis, but we're close. Our area is close to like a million.
So we have enough people that we are somewhat close. Right.

Speaker 3 So we see it as being super real. Whereas I think some of the smaller towns, they're probably just going about their business.
Like,

Speaker 3 let's just wash our hands, whatever it may be. But also we see, at least as in Omaha, that we see everything that's happening to you guys and even some of the

Speaker 3 other states. And we're like, all right,

Speaker 3 let's pump the brakes a little.

Speaker 3 Well, not so much that, but let's like, even though we have maybe the advantage of being spread out, Let's still chill just because it's crazy and there is a lot of craziness going on in the world and man like stuff like this and and that's what's fun about doing like the podcast it's like this world still needs some some like fun laughter joy and and that's like that's super important right now like so i i don't know if i know pft you follow me and i'm sure you do too like look at my haircut my haircut yeah that's pretty yeah no i saw that yeah racing stripes yeah yes and you know why i did it because i'm trying to have fun i'm trying to make people laugh I'm trying to make people like still

Speaker 3 get on the internet and not like search coronavirus statistics because that's what everyone wants to do. And what does that do? That just builds up fear and anxiety and stress.
And like, you go nuts.

Speaker 3 I want people to jump on there and be like, man, Woodhead looks like a clown. You know, like, that's what I want.
And I don't care because I think it's fun. And

Speaker 3 I want people to enjoy their life still, even though it's hard and it's tough times. And we all get that.
Let's still try to to

Speaker 3 have some sort of like sunlight on people's lives.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I love it. All right, everyone go listen to Danny's podcast, Out of Nowhere is what it is called.
And thank you, Danny. Always great to catch up with you, man.

Speaker 1 okay we now welcome on uh future hall of famer two-time pro bowler Quentin Nelson from the club. Nice, nice.
That was a big intro. Can we say future hall of famer? I don't know.
We'll see. Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we call you Q. Call me whatever you want, BFT.
QAnon. Except a coward or a fraud.

Speaker 1 Not going to use this. Those are fighting words.
I don't use the F-word at all.

Speaker 1 My first question for you is a pretty tricky one. Did you join Andrew Luck's book club? I did not.

Speaker 1 You like talking shit about that, huh? No, no, he started a Wikipedia club. Yeah, yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I did read a tweet, a quote, though, that you had where you were saying how Andrew Luck, when you were playing with him, you would go to different cities and he would be pointing out like architecture and sometimes you were interested and sometimes this is a direct quote you'd think beat it nerd yeah i'd be like dude shut the up

Speaker 1 so do you he's so smart was there a moment when andrew luck retired where you like had to sit did you sit him down beforehand like hey man like i'll make sure you don't get sacked like it's fine you won't get hurt well i mean no i did not uh

Speaker 1 sit down with him and say that but i mean we gave up the least sacks the year before like his last season and stuff but like he told me i was just like shocked we were actually playing a preseason game against the bears it was the third preseason game and uh against my boy bars and uh then uh

Speaker 1 yeah he told us before the game and during the game the news broke camera cameras were all over him and uh then some fans were booing him it was bullshit yeah must have been kind of awkward too just like word trickling through the stadium and then you guys figuring out that people had figured out yeah probably not the ideal way for for probably not what he wanted to have happen either, but

Speaker 1 yeah, I mean, it seems like he made the right choice for himself.

Speaker 1 He got sick of like all the rehab stuff, but as you mentioned, you went 239 consecutive drop backs without allowing a sack to him. Yeah.
Were you in the zone? Can an offensive line get in the zone?

Speaker 1 Oh, for sure. I mean, when you're clicking on all cylinders and you're

Speaker 1 just seeing everything through one set of eyes, for sure. And we have a tight-knit group and great guys and great players.
And we're definitely in a zone. And

Speaker 1 yeah, it was awesome. How excited do you get when a run play is called? Because I read this story, too,

Speaker 1 that you guys were when you were one and five in 2018. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Playing the Bills. Coach comes in and he says, we got 15 plays, 15 plays set.
It's all runs. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 It was like all base runs. There was no checks to passes.
And he was like, we're going to run the football this game. And that's what we did.

Speaker 1 And like, when a run gets called, like, I want to run through a fucking brick wall because, like, I'm fired up. Like, I get to attack this guy and

Speaker 1 like try to get the best of him as much as I can. And it's more you're on the aggressive than, like, in pass pro, you're in the defensive.

Speaker 1 So, can you tell the moment? You don't have to name names, but can you tell the moment

Speaker 1 when a opposing player that you're playing across from has lost his will to like even

Speaker 1 I think you right now, big cat. No, I don't have a losing your will right now.
No, no, no. I haven't.
I have that zillion beer sweastered on. Yep.
Friday's beer sweats. I got one of the beers.

Speaker 1 It is Friday.

Speaker 1 It is Friday. It is Friday.
I got a zero. I'll blow that.
But does that happen? Like, in the course of a game when you're like, all right, this guy doesn't want anything anymore. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I mean, when you're just imposing your will on people and,

Speaker 1 like,

Speaker 1 low-key, you're fucking them up the whole game. And you're not even talking shit.
They're just like, man, fuck this shit, man.

Speaker 1 That's awesome.

Speaker 1 And that comes with five guys all doing their jobs. And

Speaker 1 it can't just be one guy because they could just move over to the other side. So then they move over to the other side and they're still getting the same business from the right guard.
It's awesome.

Speaker 1 It's got to be demoralizing. There was that one clip that came out of you snatching somebody's soul.

Speaker 1 You knocked out a linebacker and the Colts' social media account added in the sound of you screaming as you did it to make it sound more intimidating. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So everybody was freaking out because it was such a cool looking play and an awesome sounding hit.

Speaker 1 But then it turns out that since it went so viral, the league watched it and they ended up fining you for a helmet to helmet hit yo i was so mad like i got

Speaker 1 i go in uh monday there's just a fede on my uh locker seat and i'm like oh what's in here like i open it up it says twenty thousand dollar fine and i was like what like what like are you kidding me like and the colts like blew it up which I didn't mind because I got some like I got some more clout for it.

Speaker 1 However,

Speaker 1 at the same time, I got $26,000. Is the clout worth the $26,000? I don't know.

Speaker 1 I think it might have been. I think it might have been.
You did go mega virus.

Speaker 1 I was pissed, though.

Speaker 1 I walked into my media guy's office with the fine. I said, you're fucking paying for this shit, motherfucker.

Speaker 1 And he was like, dude, I'm just an intern that runs social media. Yeah,

Speaker 1 pretty much.

Speaker 1 Can I play a clip for you? Yeah. All right.
I'm going to play a clip for Quentin right now.

Speaker 1 Is this me talking about you?

Speaker 1 Tough guy? He brought brought it up.

Speaker 1 So this is Quentin on busting with the boys. Like Taylor wants to get a great podcast.
You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Hey, they do anything for Clout. Anything for Clinton.
Great transition.

Speaker 3 But hold on one second. I just want to finish with one thing.

Speaker 3 Fuck you, big kid.

Speaker 1 Fuck you, big cat.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so anyway, we'll do anything for clout.

Speaker 1 Made you guys famous. Dude, he's the best.

Speaker 1 Quentin was famous before that. Made Quentin famous.
No, Quentin was already famous. Made Quentin famous.

Speaker 1 Man, I'm famous.

Speaker 1 That pissed me off. What did?

Speaker 1 This just happened?

Speaker 1 Are you fired up right now?

Speaker 1 I got in your head so much you couldn't transition. So you were mad at me.

Speaker 1 I was mad at you. Why? Honestly, it's so long ago.
It's water under the bridge. You don't remember why you're mad at me? I don't really remember.
All I know is Taylor's my fucking guy.

Speaker 1 Does it change anything back? Right. You were being a piece of shit.

Speaker 1 Well, I wasn't, but does it change anything with the fact that we then, like, I could make the case that I'm Taylor's boss now because we bought bust boys.

Speaker 1 Damn,

Speaker 1 you're kind of summing him right now. Saying I'm a business.
I'm just saying. Does that change anything? I mean, it definitely changed.

Speaker 1 No, I like those guys too, but it was funny when Taylor did the fuck you, big cat. So we had, they were like blowing up our Twitter and Instagram, and clearly they have a great podcast.

Speaker 1 But I remember you being part of it and being like, fuck, why does I understand why Taylor doesn't like us, but why does Quentin not like us? Yeah, yeah. I was like, dude, who the fuck's big cat?

Speaker 1 Is he even a big guy?

Speaker 1 Probably some old pussy. He's like, ready to just fucking try to fight me.
You got the bench press right here. You go to town.
I can see the biceps popping through the sweatshirt. It looks good.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 how much do you match right now? Too much, bro.

Speaker 1 We load that thing up with 135, some real heavyweight. How many times you tossed it? How many times? Like,

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 80. I don't know.
I have the combine, subtle flex. 225 to 36.
Okay. That's pretty cool.
It took one rep away of

Speaker 1 I'm over it, though. But you, I read also that you were doing, you were benching more your senior year of high school than Jadavion Clowney did that year.
Oh, he was

Speaker 1 at the combine. Yeah.
But the reps probably wouldn't count because my hips were coming off and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 But still, we don't do that. We have a rules.
We're very strict. Hips down.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I like to get my hip thrust in to warm up the hips. You know what I mean? Right, right.
So that's why I have the hips come up all the time.

Speaker 1 I do respect the fact that you got so mad at Big Cat despite not really knowing what you were getting mad about. I like that.
Do you go through life getting just pissed off at people a lot?

Speaker 1 Listen, I got a tight circle. My fucking boys, like, I got their back.
So are we part of that now? I mean,

Speaker 1 we're close. We're close.

Speaker 1 Not even close or close.

Speaker 1 Not even close. I mean, that's fine.
I'm just wondering where we stand. No, you guys are awesome, guys.
I love your podcast. I love Barstool.
I love listening to it. And, I mean, you guys are awesome.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, we've

Speaker 1 squashed the beef with Taylor and Will.

Speaker 1 We met them in Miami, had a good time with them. Oh, you're good.

Speaker 1 I legally have to say they have a great podcast because it's money in my pocket.

Speaker 1 They have a great podcast. You would say that no matter what, though.
Right, we would. Of course, I would.
You're honoring me.

Speaker 1 But you wouldn't have said that when they were signed.

Speaker 1 Correct. But I just wanted, like, I would say they have a great podcast no matter what because it is busting with the boys.
Go subscribe. But again, it's money in my pocket.
Five stars.

Speaker 1 Yeah, five stars. Yeah, do it, please.
Do it all. Do it all.
And I like you because you lined up at fullback this year. I love fullbacks.
I love the biggest. Dude, but I was a fucking pussy, dude.

Speaker 1 What happened?

Speaker 1 6'5, 335 pounds from the one-yard on it. I didn't gain one yard.
I couldn't get in. That's actually the ultimate fullback.
I was the biggest bitch.

Speaker 1 Just getting the ball from the one and getting tackled right at the goal line. But you still got the touchdown celebration.
The thing was, I was like,

Speaker 1 yo, I definitely just didn't cross the goal line right there. And

Speaker 1 they ruled it a touchdown. I'm like, dude, fuck it.
Like, this might be my only chance. We got to do the celebration now.
Did the keg stand? That was a pretty awesome celebration.

Speaker 1 That also went viral. Are you ever worried that you were going too viral for an offensive lineman? No, I'm not really worried about it.
I mean, I don't.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't say I try to go viral. It just happens.
Right. You just crushed.
You just take people's souls and then you go viral. Are you ever going to get a

Speaker 1 maybe

Speaker 1 like some kind of deal legally to keep Brian Baldinger away from you because he goes

Speaker 1 a restraining order of some sorts because he his videos of you

Speaker 1 They're uncomfortable sometimes. He loves you that much.

Speaker 1 Dude,

Speaker 1 he makes love when he's talking about me.

Speaker 1 He's like, look at Big Q. He goes crazy.
And I mean, I really appreciate

Speaker 1 anyone that supports me and

Speaker 1 like goes through film and breaks it down like Baldinger does. But yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 He's drooling. He's like, gold man.
Look at this. He loves you.
Look at this. It sounds like when Guy Fieri is talking about cutting into a cheeseburger.

Speaker 1 That's how he sounds talking about you throwing in a chip. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He loves you. So, 17-game season, let's make some headlines.
Are you in favor of 17 games? Ooh, nice question.

Speaker 1 Absolutely not.

Speaker 1 Dude, I don't need another game.

Speaker 1 What about another pick? 16 is a long time.

Speaker 1 Nah, dude. Not worth it.
Really? Our bodies are so fucking hurt after the season, like 16 games, and then you got the playoffs if you're lucky enough to make it that far. And

Speaker 1 I don't know. We just don't need another game, in my opinion.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Good headline grab. Now, after the season's over, how long does it take you? Like, how long do you take off where you're just like, I'm not doing anything for this amount of time?

Speaker 1 So, my rookie season, I took like a month, a month and a half off.

Speaker 1 But we also made it deeper into the playoffs. So, that affects it.

Speaker 1 Like, I was done like February 16th or something like that so uh i took like a month off this year like i kind of just went right into the training i was pissed we didn't make the playoffs really damn uh yeah so okay um all right so i also had one one last question but it's i would love to hear about this so i read this story on the athletic about you uh when you were in fifth grade you had to drop 23 pounds just to play football yeah yeah my pretty much uh my dad said quenn like, I'm going to coach this Pop Warner team whether you play or not, which means you better fucking lose some weight, kid.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 And my mom would take me to the park, and we'd run like the cross-country course, 3.3 miles, Holmedale Park, the bull representing.

Speaker 1 But also, and then I think I like discovered keto before that was a fucking thing because I was eating like just deli meats, veggies. As a fifth grader, and like very limited bread.

Speaker 1 As a fifth grader. Yes.
So you dropped the 23 pounds. I also read that you in third grade, you were bigger than the fifth graders.
You were in third grade, you were 411 height and like 115 pounds.

Speaker 1 Probably. That's like my size right now.

Speaker 1 In third grade. That's unreal.
Yeah. I like that you

Speaker 1 became accidentally keto. You discovered it.
You literally ate like a caveman. Dude, yes.
Unintentionally, but lost all that weight. So how many pounds did you end up dropping?

Speaker 1 Like, dude, over my lifetime, like a shit ton. It's unreal.
Like, I just lose weight, and then, like, I start getting some compliments. They're like, oh, Quentin, you look so good.

Speaker 1 I'm like, all right, I could eat five cheeseburgers now. Yeah, you know what I mean? I go through that too.
Yeah, the yo-yo. Then I gain.
Then I lose, then I gain, gain, lose, lose.

Speaker 1 You got a great name, Quentin Nelson. How many times in elementary school would a substitute teacher be like, Quentin Nelson? And then you'd raise your hand and they'd be like, wait,

Speaker 1 you're white?

Speaker 1 A substitute teacher.

Speaker 1 That's your middle name. What's your middle name?

Speaker 1 Emerson. Emerson.
Quentin Emerson Elsie. You fucking laughing at my middle name.
That's not a bad middle. His buddies are here, and they're laughing at his middle name.
That's not a bad middle name.

Speaker 1 Emerson Nelson. It kind of flows, bro.
Quentin Emerson Nelson. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, I think it flows because you're the one who's saying it, and you're like, you're like, hey, it flows, right?

Speaker 1 And you're like, yeah,

Speaker 1 holy, that's right off the tongue.

Speaker 1 It sounds like french it's beautiful yeah quintin emerson nelson here's a good topical question uh what's the largest amount of marijuana you've ever smuggled across the mexican border with an uber driver

Speaker 1 176 oh beat them

Speaker 1 beat them all right i got one last question seeki question promo code take ten dollars off quenton nelson future hall of famer for the indianapolis cults uh when i read also that you don't like when your teammates congratulate the opponent on good hits.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. So you did your fucking research.
I did. Well, I read one article.
What did you get on your fucking papers?

Speaker 1 It was college. It was a good article.
The athletic wrote a really good article about you. It was

Speaker 1 a good read. So

Speaker 1 how mad were you then when Andrew Luck would do it after every single hit?

Speaker 1 You know, you can't get mad at Andrew because he's just a fucking beast on the field.

Speaker 1 And he's the guy. So I would not get mad at Andrew when he'd say nice hit.
But also, we didn't let up, I mean, we didn't let up a lot of sacks and stuff, so I didn't really hear him talking.

Speaker 1 But that one play pissed me off because, like,

Speaker 1 me and Costanzo just double-teamed this guy and, like, put him on his back, and our tight end came over, one of them. Not going to name any names, so you know,

Speaker 1 Jack Doyle, yeah, Jack Doyle. No, I don't believe so, but Eric Reynolds.
He helped him up, and I was like, dude, don't fucking help him up. What the fuck are you doing?

Speaker 1 Like, if you pancake a guy, you can help him up. But don't, don't fucking pick up a guy that I just pancaked, right? That's my pancake.
That's my bitch. That's my guy.
You didn't let up any sacks.

Speaker 1 It was like internal motivation for you to not let anybody. Like, that one compliment.
I like that one. I can understand why you're so fucking good at your job.

Speaker 1 Because you have the intensity in this podcast studio. Your mustache is amazing.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 I love the sunglasses and also the jean jacket. Yeah, and the flask.
Thanks. Amazon, $30.
$30. Galvin Klein.
There we go. One last thing.
Can you just give a little breakdown on this girl?

Speaker 1 Went viral about like six months ago, get into a fight in a McDonald's. Can you just kind of break down her technique here?

Speaker 1 Oh my goodness. Oh shit.
Look at her. Look at her.

Speaker 1 Look at pad level. Yo, where's she at right now? You think you could play with her?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm turning on right now.

Speaker 1 Let's get the Baldinger going. He's got the Baldinger.
All right, Quentin Nelson, thank you so much, man. Appreciate it.

Speaker 3 Okay, let's get some segments. By the way, I just texted Quiggs, who we work with, to give me the memes, the Goodell announcing Mitch Pick and the double doink so I can get in front of it.

Speaker 3 I'm just going to tweet it just to take away because it's going to happen. Like tomorrow morning, I'll probably get tagged in a billion of those.
So just going to get in front of it, you know? Okay.

Speaker 3 We should do one where we're just watching. I'll get out of some sardine oil and then boom cut to it.

Speaker 3 Which one Hank as well?

Speaker 3 The dab the dab. Florida, Wisconsin.
Yeah, that one too. Oh, yeah, let me get in front of that.

Speaker 3 I'm just going to, I'll just do a thread where it's like before before everyone shits down my throat, let me shit down my own throat.

Speaker 3 All right, let's do some segments. We have a Mount Flushmore, and we also have Talking Soccer.
Talking soccer, Man City defender Kyle Walker had a sex party during coronavirus.

Speaker 3 I don't know why you got to specify as a sex party. Well, it was a party for sex.
Do we know that was a party for sex or was it just

Speaker 3 multiple

Speaker 3 two guys, two girls who happened to be sex workers hanging out?

Speaker 3 Do they have to like, that's kind of insulting to say just because you're a sex worker for your job, that means that you're always having sex. That's not necessarily how it is.

Speaker 3 I mean, I won't disagree. We can't just jump to conclusions that having a party with multiple prostitutes then means it's a sex party.
Right. It's like us.
Yeah, we're big sports fans.

Speaker 3 We like talking talking about sports but just because the super bowl's on that doesn't mean that we're gonna be watching sports so wait so was it under 10 people

Speaker 3 it was four people oh so then what's the deal not even an orgy not even an orgy if anything

Speaker 3 he was yeah he was practicing all the cdc cdc guidelines right the shitty party yeah he was probably helping the girls out because he knew that maybe if he didn't call them over to his house they would go to some place that was like a bigger sex party with 10 or 12 people i'm reading this right now yeah this is this isn't even close to a sex party it's a sex date yeah just because just because this guy kyle walker broke up with his girlfriend annie kilner because he got a model lauren goodman pregnant doesn't mean that this guy's just obsessed with sex all the time okay so i don't know why that was necessary to even throw into the article about it agreed agreed agreed um okay that was talking soccer that was big time sports news i felt good to to talk a little sports there for a second don't talk enough about about how there's a team that's just straight up called Man City, like Man Cave, but bigger.

Speaker 3 And they win a lot. Although they're actually,

Speaker 3 this is actually something that I don't know what... Actually, Rob Manford actually said that if the baseball season doesn't happen, A.J.
Hinch has time served.

Speaker 3 And Man City's in a similar situation where I think they have a champions league ban for like two years. So if this goes on forever, they could basically never have a ban.

Speaker 3 That's why Iona hired Rick Petino. Yeah.
Did you see, by the way, Rick Petino here, now we're really talking sports. Rick Petino and his son, Richard Petino Jr., the littler of the Petinos,

Speaker 3 they made a bet on WrestleMania and the loser had to do, had to bring their team to the winner's home court next year, Iona in Minnesota. Oh, I like that.
That's pretty cool, right? Yeah. Pretty cool.

Speaker 3 So you have to schedule that stuff like three years in advance? No, there's always open dates.

Speaker 3 Obviously, you're not playing Xbox 360 with college football and college basketball. Dude, you can change around the schedule all you want.

Speaker 3 You got to lock in your, obviously, your conference games, but come on. Well, with the exception of like Notre Dame, Alabama in 2045, which

Speaker 3 weekend that's going to be on. Right.
Don't schedule a wedding that day.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 3 But yeah, it's kind of the patinos making things fun.

Speaker 3 I like it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, get them back involved. I mean, I could see

Speaker 3 you can't make Rick sit out postseasons for stuff that he did like four or five years ago

Speaker 3 after getting over.

Speaker 3 What's that? I think you can.

Speaker 3 No, it's not in the middle of a national crisis like this. This is when we all have to pull together instead of just pointing fingers at each other.

Speaker 3 So as far as I'm concerned, unless you're in prison for murder or rape, just like clean slate after this. It would actually be nice.

Speaker 3 It would actually be nice for Cuomo to have Rick Petino at one of his press conferences. Just have him handle some questions for old time's sake.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, I think the two of them probably have a lot in common. Did you like Cuomo? Rick Petino's probably a nipple ring guy.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Big-time nipple ring guy.

Speaker 3 If he doesn't have him, he loves him.

Speaker 3 Did you see the actual graphic I tweeted out yesterday from Cuomo's press

Speaker 3 conference? He had personal opinion. I want all this to be over.

Speaker 3 Thank you, sir.

Speaker 3 That was actually a slide next to him while he was giving his press conference. Sorry if this offends, but I'm sick of this bullshit.
I fucking know.

Speaker 3 He's writing very sad poetry. Yeah.

Speaker 3 On his PowerPoints.

Speaker 3 All right, let's do our Mount Flushmore and then we'll get to Billy, deep dive with Billy. We're doing the Mount Flushmore of smells.

Speaker 3 We have done the Mount Rushmore of smells. I think sports smells, did we not?

Speaker 3 Yes,

Speaker 3 yeah. I think just smells.
I think we did the Mount Rushmore smell. So this is the Mount Flushmore smells.

Speaker 3 Hank, it is Monday, so it is your pick first.

Speaker 3 Number one overall pick will be rotten milk, expired milk.

Speaker 3 Yeah, okay. Big time, big time bad smell.
And it's one of those things. It just gets worse when you don't think about it.

Speaker 3 You don't think it's coming and you're like, oh, I'm going to have a bowl of cereal. And then you're like, you open it up and it just hits you and you're like, oh, fuck, this is expired.

Speaker 3 It's also one of those smells, like some of these smells you can avoid. That's one of those smells that...

Speaker 3 to if you see a milk is expired you will go smell it like you will go take in a big sniff of it and then just be floored by it yeah i'll even do the thing where i pour a little bit of the expired milk i don't know it's expired yet but i pour into the coffee and then it comes up to the top and it's all like curdled and grimy and i'll see that it's rotten and then i'll have to get a smell in too you know

Speaker 3 okay pft

Speaker 3 uh my first one i'm actually shocked that hank didn't take this first overall burnt hair burnt hair is an awful smell if it's like on a candle at a restaurant you accidentally leave your hand over it for a little bit too long whatever the circumstances may be, if you smell burnt hair, you know exactly what it is and you hate it.

Speaker 3 I feel like that's something that a person with long hair like yourself would deal with more than someone like me a big cat because I didn't even think about that.

Speaker 3 When you're handing out candles on birthday cakes, the hair

Speaker 3 yeah, your hair just gets stuck in like a random candle and stuff. Yeah, I don't trust myself with fire, so I tend to avoid that at all costs.

Speaker 3 But yeah, I could imagine if you have hair that's down to like your waist and you're cooking over an open flame,

Speaker 3 that could happen a a lot but yeah it's a terrible terrible smell and it fills a room too it very quickly will expand uh okay my first pick i'm gonna go with a uh bottle of dip spit left in your car or anywhere and then you open it up after a day or two especially if it's in the sun

Speaker 3 that is one of the worst smells in the world um and then

Speaker 3 what were you gonna say pft no i was gonna say agreed strong agree if you have dip spit and you just leave it out you're an animal it's gross yeah it's an it's an animal move um i'm gonna go with my second one uh the no smell when you have no smell because you have the coronavirus and you might die that's a really shitty smell to have when you can't

Speaker 3 i guess you're the negative guy today well we're we're we're using a baton here pft just handed it to me okay

Speaker 3 big cat with just no smell the absence of smell entirely and because you have coronavirus not you know obviously there are people who like oh i have a stuffy nose no big cat said no smell yeah that was your answer well I said no smell because of coronavirus.

Speaker 3 I said, no smell. No smell.

Speaker 3 Dog poop while you're indoors. So dog poop outside is bad, but if you smell dog poop and you're sitting somewhere with a roof over your head, you know that the situation is really fucked up.

Speaker 3 Something bad has happened and you have to clean something up. Yes, yes.
Feces out of water is

Speaker 3 bad.

Speaker 3 I have two. I will go with your buddy's hockey bag.

Speaker 3 Mm-hmm. Okay.
Yep. That's a big one.
If you have a roommate that like plays hockey, it's terrible.

Speaker 3 Or like if you ever get in their car and their hockey bag's in their trunk, it's just like you have to have the windows down at all times.

Speaker 3 I don't know how hockey bags, like, it's just a thing, though. It's just like, oh, yeah, I have a hockey bag.
It's the worst smelling thing on planet Earth. Yep.
That's just like the norm. Yep.

Speaker 3 Agreed.

Speaker 3 That's a good value picture.

Speaker 3 I'll go with like someone else's.

Speaker 3 Shit when it's fresh like if you're in a let's say you're in like an airport or like you walk in the bathroom and someone just walked out of the stall But you're too late So it's like you just get in but you have to just sit there and like deal with it That is the worst thing in the world And it's even worse when you know the person like if you if I see you big cat walking out of the bathroom

Speaker 3 What the fuck? It's happened.

Speaker 3 It's happened. Wait, are you talking about the solo bathroom?

Speaker 3 No, even just the bathroom at work. It's like oh, then you then it hasn't happened because I don't shit in I don't shit in those other bathrooms at work.
I go to the solo bathroom. Okay.
All right.

Speaker 3 But that's the worst. Well, yes, it is the worst.
I'll just use you as an example. Yeah.

Speaker 3 It is weird that like your own poop and your own farts can smell good from time to time, but

Speaker 3 somebody that you know slightly, their poop and farts smell way worse than a stranger's poop and farts. Yeah.
Correct. Yes.
Big time. Big time.
All right, Peter, your pick.

Speaker 3 My third pick is going to be

Speaker 3 alcohol on someone else's breath.

Speaker 3 Especially when you're not expecting it.

Speaker 3 That's, it's always like a a little jarring and you secretly look down on that person but then you're like i i've been that person probably a hundred million times in my life i think it has to be when you're sober though if you're also drunk it doesn't matter as much but when you're sober it is the worst that's what i'm getting at unexpected alcohol in somebody else's breath is just sweating like sweating out of their pores yes and they and they're and it also is a deadly combo because they're usually if they're drunk and you're sober they're usually talking really too close to you yes so it's like the the double whammy there um all right my last two i will go with um

Speaker 3 i'll go with a dead body that probably that's that's a bad smell real real bad smell like a dead decaying body

Speaker 3 smelt the dead body i mean i've smelt animal dead bodies yeah carcasses gross

Speaker 3 is that the same though yeah i'm sure they're similar they're very similar right i mean dead bodies and and dead bodies a dead body a lot about dead bodies yeah it seems like you may or may not have experienced this with your own two nostrils.

Speaker 3 Plead the fifth. Plead the fifth.

Speaker 3 PFT actually said that I'm out of jail after all this.

Speaker 3 No, I said, unless you're a murderer.

Speaker 3 Well, first degree. You're accused murder.
Third degree?

Speaker 3 All right, my last one will be kind of similar to PFT's, but coffee breath.

Speaker 3 When someone has coffee breath and they won't like, you know, the one person who just has coffee breath and gets way too close.

Speaker 3 And they're usually just the one person in your office that is will never be aware of the fact they have terrible breath, but that stale old coffee breath is gross.

Speaker 3 All right, um, my last one, this is gonna be kind of controversial, just kids,

Speaker 3 okay, kids are typically very smelly things. I don't know if it's one of those things where your own kid smells better to you than somebody else's kid.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I still think, I don't think kids are often on kids, people. Yeah, that's weirder than the dead body, but you're smelling kids.
No, kids have it. Kids definitely have a smell to them.

Speaker 3 I honestly don't know the last time I've been in the vicinity of a kid.

Speaker 3 I used to work in a daycare situation, so maybe that's where I got it all from.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, like poopy diapers smell, but kids, I don't know. I mean, my kid smells when he shits himself, and he does it like four times a day, like father, like son.

Speaker 3 I think there's a difference also between babies, infants, and kids. Yeah, probably.
Like, babies, I think, smell good, right? Some kids, yeah, babies smell good.

Speaker 3 I guess it's kind of one of those, I think kids are very similar to like adults where there will just be kids that don't have good hygiene.

Speaker 4 Yeah, true.

Speaker 3 Hank, what was your last one?

Speaker 3 My last one is the poison gas in Call of Duty Warzone. So like in the game, as the circle closes, there's like poison gas where if you're not inside the circle, it kills you.

Speaker 3 And there's been two times in the past two nights where like instead of getting killed, I just die because I get poison gassed and it's just embarrassing and it's it's it's tough to deal with that's a bad one that's a bad one we miss big time eggs eggs rotten eggs yeah eggs

Speaker 3 the smelly train which is kind of like it's it could basically just be BO slash poop but like when you get on the train you're like oh sick a seat and then you're like oh that's why there's a seat um i had one dogs i wet dogs i had one specific one that's very gross

Speaker 3 that that i don't know if if uh anyone can there's there's probably a few people who are listening can relate but stella has uh like has to get her anal glands expressed every couple months that is the most disgusting smell like of all time i just didn't pick it because i've one am embarrassed that i like know what it is and two I think a lot of people probably have no clue what I'm talking about right now.

Speaker 3 No, it's a pretty common thing for dogs, but just the term anal glands is

Speaker 3 I take her to the vet now for it. Thank God.
I used to do it on my own, which was like horrific.

Speaker 3 Now it's like 30 bucks to just her every couple months but it's fucking terrible embrace debate uh it's the only thing that makes you cry but do onions smell bad

Speaker 3 no no but it makes you cry

Speaker 3 i don't even think the smell makes you cry i think it's uh the stuff going into your eyes also

Speaker 3 the onion like onions sauteing onions is like the greatest smell ever yeah some butter yeah hank so it's not the smell i don't think that makes you cry it's it's the like onion particles that go into your eyes like if you wear goggles while you're cutting onions i don't think that you cry.

Speaker 3 Interesting. All right.
Yeah. So that's why I didn't put it on my list.

Speaker 3 But it is only like if you know a food that makes you cry, like that's a bad thing. Yeah.
Old seafood?

Speaker 3 Fish. Yeah.
Some fishes. I was a bus boy in a crab restaurant for a summer, and that's a smell that you don't get out from under your fingernails for months.
Also,

Speaker 3 just the

Speaker 3 in the middle of the summer, basically just the street of New York.

Speaker 3 Like it's, it's, you know, when you hit that corner and you're, and it's, you'll usually be like a little bit of liquid in the gutter and maybe like a dead rat or something.

Speaker 3 And it just all, and then there's some garbage and it all combines to the worst smell of all time. It's the garbage wind.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hot garbage wind that hits you and it's just like a wall of pain.

Speaker 3 But there's also that weird, you know, you'll have that discharge liquid sitting there that's been sitting there for a week because there hasn't been a rain and a dead rat.

Speaker 3 And it just, it's a perfect storm of bad smells.

Speaker 3 Rats in general would go on that list too you remember the rat cave that was right around the right around the corner from our old office oh it smelled so bad oh ricky the rat

Speaker 3 yeah there were a couple nights

Speaker 3 driving

Speaker 3 he is yeah rats and pigeons are probably having a field day right now right yes well not a lot of people around it to just like throw food everywhere but there's garbage like My apartment building is throwing away more garbage than I've ever seen come out of this building ever before because everyone's just doing all we're doing all day.

Speaker 3 If you're not doing something that's creating more garbage, you're probably just asleep you're just bored yes that's true that's true okay let's finish up with billy football our deep dive with billy football before we do that though uh the schedule for this week we're doing wide receivers on wednesday so everyone get your takes ready to go top 100 and uh we're doing the wide receiver class and then on friday we are going to review the garbage kicking field goal kicker the tony danza movie we talked about a couple months ago someone sent it to us on vhs and we are going to put it on youtube so that everyone can watch it on a burner.

Speaker 3 And then we will review that movie

Speaker 3 and then keep sending us what you want us to review, whether it be a movie documentary. We will do it every single Friday.

Speaker 8 Man, I'll tell you what. 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 8 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 8 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 8 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 1 Okay, we got Billy on. We're doing our deep dives, Monday deep dives, and place of Monday readings.
We have a different topic every week. Send them to Billy's Twitter.
What you want us to talk about.

Speaker 1 Billy, what's your Twitter again?

Speaker 3 At BillyHotTakes.

Speaker 1 very it's got a very small follower account right now but it is real I promise

Speaker 3 so I'll be posting like maps of the links I go to and

Speaker 1 like

Speaker 3 so you can see what I'm looking at and also there if I like say something totally false I'll add corrections

Speaker 3 also DM me if you don't have an account

Speaker 3 It'll be for apologies for absolutely screwing things up. Yes.
Now do those on the previous week.

Speaker 3 Also,

Speaker 3 I've been trying to donate. I think I had Corona and beat it.
So I've been trying to figure out how to donate my antibodies in some way, like blood.

Speaker 3 I've been trying to figure it out all week, and all the lines are clogged up. So if anyone has information on that or knows anybody, also slide into my DMs.
Just mail it to the office.

Speaker 3 Can you just not fill up like a Ziploc bag filled with blood and then just send it to the hospital?

Speaker 3 Just write it to science.

Speaker 3 Actually, you know what? Just

Speaker 3 do it in a bunch of different envelopes so maybe one of them will get

Speaker 3 to the right place. Send it to every blood bank in America.

Speaker 3 I think my blood's valuable. Please take it.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 3 So today we're going to start on Vikings. I just started this by googling Vikings because I think they're sick and there's probably sick facts about them.

Speaker 3 And this one goes, this is this one's pretty crazy. So hold on to your seats.

Speaker 3 How about, wait, Billy, how about what if what if PFT or Big Cat tells, say, what their knowledge of vikings are and you can fact check them oh weird what's up okay uh vikings would just go everywhere and like in our word a lot of people and kill a lot of people yeah redskin

Speaker 3 they would do that a lot speaking of redskins um

Speaker 3 the um there's actually a couple diseases that are linked to vikings that has been shows they're spread across one of them has to do with cirrhosis of the face uh not cirrhosis like you have ready red bright red face Okay.

Speaker 3 Eczema. Yeah, it's like, you know, like the acne.
Alcoholism. Exactly.
It appears in alcoholics a lot. Okay, so

Speaker 3 50, what do you know?

Speaker 3 They got the, they wear the hats that have horns. They don't have horns.

Speaker 3 That's a lot. What? What? Plot twist.

Speaker 3 Okay, tell us.

Speaker 3 That was like...

Speaker 3 I actually didn't figure that out on this, but there's like no Vikings with like horns. They didn't.
Have you ever seen a cartoon? cartoon yeah what about the logo the vikings logo

Speaker 3 yeah i'm not sure if that's real you know like the skyroom yeah no it's uh different but um

Speaker 3 yeah they like had advanced um like social laws and like they basically had like a form of socialism before like karl mark so that's pretty cool what year were vikings like doing their thing um basically from pre-roman times to 1066 and 1066 is insane i'm getting that to that too oh what happened 1066 that sounds juicy.

Speaker 3 Just way tough, yeah, dude. It's this is gonna be insane.
Just like that's a dynasty for sure. That's that's a thousand years

Speaker 3 pre-Roman to like

Speaker 3 crazy stuff. Also, where were they? Where were they? They were in Norway.

Speaker 3 So, the so you know, the Vikings, they so like a bunch of Vikings, they just basically it was way too cold, and they're like, this place sucks. Let's go find other places.
Because

Speaker 3 a bunch of like non-firstborn sons were like yo dad gave the farm to the firstborn son I got nothing I'm gonna go find stuff got it they went to Iceland they colonized Iceland and then this dude Eric the Red basically catfished everybody and said yo there's a better island called Greenland which actually wasn't green it was icier than Iceland and that's why greenland and Iceland totally should have switched names.

Speaker 3 Isn't Iceland just like a mistranslation where it really just means island?

Speaker 1 Maybe.

Speaker 3 Okay. I like the catfish way more.
So the catfish for Greenland is real, I think, where Eric the Red was like, no, it's really nice there.

Speaker 3 So like, I'm reading all about Vikings. I'm like, how did these guys not conquer the world that wasn't the Native Americans? And 1066.

Speaker 3 So 1066, there's three names that you got to know here because it's going to get confusing. There's Harold Godwinson, who is the Saxons, basically English.

Speaker 3 There was Harold Hadrada, who is the Viking king. So we're going to call Harold Godwinson H-God, for all intents and purposes.

Speaker 3 And then the last guy is William the Conqueror, who's like the most famous of the Billies, in my opinion.

Speaker 3 So, straight up, go, Philly.

Speaker 3 He probably did

Speaker 3 with his boys. We're like, yo, no.
But

Speaker 3 1066 was like... March madness, how many battles happened.

Speaker 3 There was like multiple battles back to back.

Speaker 3 Like, so, like, I'll give you answers: Harold Godwin's H-God fought Harold the Horrible, Harold Hadrada, at the Battle of Stanford Bridge, and then got back on the road down to Hastings.

Speaker 3 And in the Battle of Hastings, got absolutely clapped by William the Conqueror. But let me tell you what happened in the battle.

Speaker 3 So, we're not going to talk about the Battle of Hastings because it was just a bloodbath. Um, so Harold, H-God,

Speaker 3 um, Harold Hadrada the Horrible landed in northern England, like Northumberland is called, and basically they got to this bridge and both armies were on either side of the bridge and the bridge like pretty slow, so like pretty like slim.

Speaker 3 So it was like two men, like three men could get across it. So Hair, so there was this, so like they were fighting.

Speaker 3 This dude, this freaking giant axeman on the Vikings, took on the whole English army. And this dude, like, legit, took on the whole army, and no one could kill them.

Speaker 3 They weren't going to win the battle unless they killed this one giant viking dude with a giant battle axe that like so he ended up getting killed and the only way they could kill him was a dude in a half barrel floated down the river and with a giant spear stabbed him up through the bridge and this dude had no idea he was just absolutely bodying everybody throwing dudes off bridge is and he just like was standing there and just got freaking in the tank and the probably it was going upward and that was the only way they killed him and like that's like the original off sides.

Speaker 3 Like, you can't, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he went under the bridge. Yeah.
Line of scrimmage.

Speaker 3 Yeah, no, but then the Vikings were like, yo, throw the flag. What are you doing? And then the English just took advantage of it, like, free play and like messed them up.

Speaker 3 And I'm like, and like, like, the Vikings were like, yo, dude. Like,

Speaker 3 and the giant.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the giant had held off because there's a sneak attack by the English. He held off the whole army on this bridge for enough time for the the reinforcements from the boats to come.

Speaker 3 So then, um, it sounds like the 300, where if you force your like an outnumbered enemy into a really narrow place to fight, you can kind of level the playing field a little bit.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so this one giant dude. So, the battle was they beat the Vikings, but it was pretty close up until the stabbing with the giant spear.

Speaker 3 So, the like they said that the fields were white with bones for the next 200 years. Whoa, yeah, so then

Speaker 3 the English, like, were like, we've never seen a warrior like this before. Like, they couldn't bury him.
He didn't get a Viking burial because the Vikings couldn't gather their dead.

Speaker 3 So, you know, when they put him on a boat and they light them on fire, that's a Viking funeral in the water. So then, um, the English were trying to bury this dude.

Speaker 3 So, have you got to that scene in Game of Thrones Jet PFT? Which one? The Viking funeral with Edna.

Speaker 3 All right.

Speaker 3 They just, they just blew up

Speaker 3 the dude's ship using all that weird, like, green liquid liquid inside the ghost ship. Oh, yeah.
Oh, wait, that's based on a real thing called Greek Fire, which is actually pretty sick.

Speaker 3 Maybe we'll talk about it. I called that.
I was like, that empty ship, it's a bomb.

Speaker 1 Boom.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 then

Speaker 3 they couldn't bury this dude. They couldn't use a coffin because they only built coffins six and a half feet, and they used the same feet as we do today.

Speaker 3 And this dude was like, we couldn't find a coffin for him. He was at least like seven to eight feet tall, this guy.

Speaker 3 And he wasn't like a, a he wasn't like a uh they said he had giants blood like he was like a half giant he's like he has giants blood like this is why but um the uh what was I saying so then I was like what and they were talking about he went berserker mode and held off also turns out this whole no there's this whole warrior cult that is pre-Christianity pre like Thor north mythology and it's based off of hunters magic where they worship bears and wolves so they were first so the berserkers the berserker gang which is like sicko mode yeah like sicko mode absolutely mode so these were first described by this dude um this roman uh general whose name is trajian who's like imagine like julius caesar uh like like little caesar's type you know roman dude and he was like yo this these these warriors would just fight us naked in no formations in one or two like small groups like not like their armies would stand back and just send five crazy mother, crazy dudes, like, at their shields and would break up whole shield formations.

Speaker 3 It was like they were the full, like the fiercest fighters who felt no pain, no fire, like would feel nothing. So, like, basically, I was reading the descriptions, unsullied.

Speaker 3 Yeah, imagine Adam Thielen, like, injected with rabies and, like, on Molly, because these guys were, they were just West Walker. Yeah, they were like

Speaker 3 foaming at the mouth, and they would bite their shields, and these guys would go nuts and like

Speaker 3 so what else they would do is they so i was like singing out this like yo these guys are absolute like psychos like like how do i go berserker hypothetically in a hypothetical situation where i would need to go berserker because like i'm reading about these dudes like like getting off the line yeah getting off the line of scrimmage this is like absolutely like you talk about athletes in the zone like these guys were in like the deepest zone like ever they would describe after the battles these guys would curl up into little balls and just start crying like infants and like would be have no strength but meanwhile like during the battles they would display super strength and like

Speaker 3 like

Speaker 3 uh they would this would even happen when they were working so if they would like lift full like tree logs like of giant trees because they'd go berserker when they had to like build big ships

Speaker 3 So these like, so they basically I researched this like a ton. Like, how the hell did these guys do what they did and It's either three things genetic mental illness

Speaker 3 Huge consumptions of alcohol with genetic Variances or magic mushrooms or other naturally occurring hallucinogens now This is where it gets interesting by the way berserkers still have influences today all the kings in Europe wanted to be guarded by berserkers and the English guards today, you know, with the big furry hats.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 It's bear's fur. It's an ode to the berserkers who just fight naked with bear hoods on.
And like, it's the source of like werewolf mythology. Like, like, these guys were the OG werewolves.

Speaker 3 Well, Billy, I was, I was gonna say, this sounds a lot like PCP. You always hear stories of people that, like, smoke PCP and they think that they're Superman.

Speaker 3 They're walking down the street naked and they're punching fences down and they're like throwing cop cars out of the way.

Speaker 3 They're like, they're just walking down the street and they're just going crazy. That sounds like berserker mode to me.
Yeah, dude, it's absolutely insane. So then, like, I was like looking at it.

Speaker 3 It wasn't actually magic mushrooms, like psilocybin, but it was like other naturally occurring drugs and the herbs in Scandinavia or whatever.

Speaker 3 So I was like, whoa, I need to start researching like the properties of these things because, look, I'm not a drug guy. I don't do drugs.
We already have a drug guy. I'm not a drug guy.

Speaker 3 So. I know one guy who uses mushrooms and he's like, he's this dude.
He's like a family friend.

Speaker 3 He's basically like another grandfather he's like salt of the earth in the original sense of the word like ex-lobsterman from maine like he's super old right now he's on oxygen because he smoked too many cigs and like awesome guy like like has taught me so much about everything but now he's like got super bad arthritis so he actually he's like a blue collar guy like he's not a hippie but like he started to advocate for medical marijuana for his arthritis because he has like two replaced hips and he was telling me about uh how he like started to get like what he thought was dementia he's getting forgetful so he started micro dosing psilocybin mushrooms and he was so i called him and i was like yo like tell me about psilocybin mushrooms he's like oh they like saved my brain like um and he told me about all the research they have and how he's advocating for it as well to be legal in micro doses in certain like in a medical way by the way i'm not in all way telling people to do mushrooms or anything.

Speaker 3 Don't sue me or something. I have no idea what I'm talking about.
I'm not a doctor. Also, he's talking about what does this have to do with Vikings mushrooms, which doesn't even really exist.

Speaker 3 The Vikings would get drugs to go berserker mode. Berserker mode, dude? Yeah,

Speaker 3 why didn't you just pick up one of those black mediquets from Doom? Because that's the Berserker pack, right?

Speaker 3 Dude, like,

Speaker 3 this is where I got ADHD and went totally off tangent because I was like, in no way. Oh, this is where it happened.

Speaker 3 Wait, Billy, all right. I'm going to get us back on track here.
I got some questions that you can answer. Vikings, good or bad.

Speaker 3 really good

Speaker 3 inventions and seafaringness and

Speaker 3 like but you know if you like held them to modern standards terrible people okay uh good answer um what inventions did the vikings have that we still use today

Speaker 3 a lot of stuff in naval a lot of naval stuff

Speaker 3 okay yeah ships

Speaker 3 ships

Speaker 3 Did they drink out of skulls?

Speaker 3 Yeah, definitely. They drank out of corns.
Oh, by the way, they also had various poets. Like, they considered poetry back then, like, like we consider rappers today.

Speaker 3 And these dudes would diss each other and, like, they'd all get up in the beer hall or beer halls or whatever, big, like, food halls. And they just, like, the royal, like, king poet.

Speaker 3 And he'd just get up there and just, like, spit. And just, like,

Speaker 3 they would roast each other? Yeah, they'd roast each other and all sorts of stuff.

Speaker 3 So, anyway, so I got onto the mushrooms.

Speaker 3 How does it wrap up, Billy?

Speaker 3 This is how it wraps up. So like, I've been thinking a lot about the future of football.
Okay. Okay.
Here we go. Let's land this plane, baby.

Speaker 3 And I was like, what's the biggest threat to football besides the very obvious

Speaker 3 COVID word?

Speaker 3 Because, so I was like, it's like physical damage and mental damage.

Speaker 3 And we're finding huge strides in CBD for like physical, like physical pain and stuff, like Gronk's been talking about a lot, of course.

Speaker 3 And then I've been thinking about concussions because, like, the thing about concussions is like concussion protocol may work, but no one wants to go into concussion protocol. Right.

Speaker 3 No one wants to sit in a dark room and miss all their classes and like have to catch up on homework.

Speaker 3 And like teachers, like, oh, like, concussions, like, even teachers don't take concussions seriously. Like, yo, you still have to do all the work that you missed.

Speaker 3 And it's kind of like, no one actually wants to put themselves in that situation. It's like, oh, like, sorry, I got concussed week five, professor.

Speaker 3 Like, can I please, you know, like maybe skip my midterm because I haven't been able to study for it? And they're like, no, you have to retake it. And it's just like, but I'm like, stupid right now.

Speaker 3 Right. So, what you're saying is that if you take mushrooms immediately after getting a concussion, you can alleviate some of these symptoms.

Speaker 3 I'm not saying that, but if they do the research and develop a drug where it's like, okay, this would actually speed up the process and you don't have to take stupid impact tests and stuff.

Speaker 3 I mean, they really work. I know there's like a lot of science behind them, but they're just so annoying.

Speaker 3 Like, like the shapes and stuff, it's so annoying so so essentially vikings might have uh cured concussions and saved football yeah dude think about it these berserkers definitely had cte and like a lot of them lived to super old ages and wrote the sagas that were about themselves so like these guys were you know copus mentis enough to write about themselves when they were old so yeah

Speaker 3 are you saying that beowulf like that was written by somebody under the influence of mushrooms hypothetically yeah i mean that would make sense You know, so I like it, Billy. I like it.

Speaker 3 Let's go deep dive.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so like, let's, like, if we can, like, use Viking, you know, like medicine to like cure CTE, but like, actually do put it through all the tests and stuff, like, that would be, like, we could save football and like generations of, you know, people can play football more and enjoy the sport that like honestly unites America more than anything, especially right now.

Speaker 3 Beautiful. Thank you, Billy.
I couldn't have said better myself.

Speaker 3 Let me just, I'll finish here before we end the episode. But I think it's just a simple elevator pitch.
Yo, science, ever thought about berserker mode?

Speaker 3 Yo, science. There it is.
Exactly.

Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 3 And that is our show. Billy, thank you.
Everyone tweet, Billy, what you want to hear about next week. Maybe we'll

Speaker 3 tweet something very specific so we stay on topic, but this was great. I like going all over the place.
I'm thinking biohacking next week. Okay, there you go.

Speaker 3 Just, can you give me a a sneak preview of that? Because it sounds interesting.
