The Hall of Fame of reality television. Yes.
We have our Super Bowl Media Day stories. We tried to crash.
It didn't go so well, but it also actually went really well. I'd say, yeah.

Okay, let's go. Boy! Boy! Now in the street there is violence And then a lot of stuff Work to be done No place to hang out or wash in And then I can't leave all on the sun Oh no We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue And then we'll take it higher Oh we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue It's Pardon My Take presented by Barstool Sports.
PFT, it is the last show that we're going to do when both of us are 34 years old. That's crazy.
Wow. You're going to be old tomorrow.
Tomorrow. And I'm going to be a young whippersnapper still.
Yes. And then Friday, we'll both be 35.
On Friday's show, we'll tape Friday's show as I will be a 35-year-old, and PFT will be a little young lad at 34. That's true.
Also, I'm just going to make a motion that your mid-30s doesn't start until you're 36. You're in your early 30s when you're 35.
I would say 37. Yeah, early 30s.
37 is mid-30s. 38 is late 30s.
When is over the hill? Over the hill is... I think that's a mindset.
Okay. So, like, my body is over the hill.
My mind is as sharp as it could be. As long as you still play video games on a regular basis, you're not over hill i haven't played video games about a year you gotta step that up actually no that's not true i won the super bowl with the broncos oh so you've been playing madden yeah i played madden this fall so you no longer hate nazis you've no longer been playing call of duty when did you start loving nazis oh the call of duty i had to stop oh actually speaking of, good segue.
I would like for us motion to come out firmly against the coronavirus. Anti-coronavirus.
Someone asked for my comment on coronavirus today. I said, not good.
Not good. You know what? Right now, I'm going to wait and see how this develops.
Oh, you want to wait until all the facts come out? I want to wait until all the facts come out. We don't know.
There's a lot of disinformation out there. So I'm going to wait until all the facts come out, and I wait till the facts come out right now we don't know there's a lot of disinformation out there so true i i'm gonna wait till all the facts come out and i'm gonna make a responsible decision at that point uh so back to the call of duty i'm very i'm very disappointed in the actions of the coronavirus but i don't know if i'm gonna be taking any actual steps right against it right so uh i stopped killing nazis as soon as the new call of duty comes out because then no one plays the old one and you're just playing with a bunch of people who don't have the new game.

You're playing with people who are over the hill.

Correct.

It's the over the hill game.

I got you.

All right, so we're at the big game.

Can't say the Super Bowl word.

What other rules about that?

Super Bowl.

You know what?

I'm a fucking bad boy.

Super Bowl.

Super Bowl.

I'm at the Super Bowl making money off the Super Bowl

doing a podcast at the Super Bowl. I love it.
So suck it, Goodell. We're here at the Super Bowl.
You can watch us, BarstoolGold.com slash PMT. I like Drew.
He's giggling. We have a new audience.
Hank and Bubba are so used to us that they just sit there with their faces, just whatever. Drew is laughing.
Yeah. Drew might be part of the team now.
Exactly. Liam and Bubba, or Bubba and Hank are just like, they just go starfish.
They're like, okay, just get it done with. Yeah, we want to go sleep.
I hope you have fun. Now we're trying some strange out with Drew, and it's like, still got it.
Sound guy Drew's like, you guys are kinky. Still got it.
All right. So we're at the Super Bowl.
We were at media day last night. Didn't go well.
Yeah well yeah got kicked out so if you didn't see the

video go watch it right now pft and i uh got hired prosthetics company to come and put us in

prosthetics now pft dresses an old lady i dress as an older big cat uh it took hours i was sitting

in that chair for about two and a half hours on sunday night to get it just to get a picture taken

for my fake credential and then again on monday afternoon for about two and a half hours on Sunday night to get it just to get a picture taken for my fake credential and then again on Monday afternoon for about two and a half hours and then got into wardrobe I got diped up wore diapers had to have a nice little butt going plus I honestly just kind of wanted to wear diapers just to see oh we knew well well we asked we're like what do you do about bathrooms diapers diapers because I did think about it because if I got into the Super Bowl media night and I did need to use the restroom, which restroom was I going to go into? Right. I don't.
We're not in North Carolina. I don't know what's going on here.
I if I gone into the male bathroom, that would have been strange. If I got into the female bathroom, also strange.
So I figure I think more strange. Yeah, probably more.
So I figure better safe than than Starry. Might as well wear four pairs of Depends.
Did not get to use the Depends, unfortunately. Because, well, so we showed up.
We were dressed as old people. I would say PFT's costume was a 10 out of 10.
I'd say I was probably more like a 5 out of 10. People were like, hey, what's up, big cat? When we were walking around, I was like, no, it's not me.
But it was very much me. Marlon's man was the only one who just didn't know who we were we went up to him asked him for a picture he's like oh look at i'm i'm big in the elderly demographic i was giving him hugs i noticed that marlin's man was he was shying away from my hug a little bit i don't think i was attractive enough of a female yes for him actually before we left we were waiting outside for the car to pull up were outside our hotel.
I started smoking a cigarette out there to get into character,

just to get into character because I quit cigarettes.

Correct.

So I was smoking, and I was, like, leaning against the railing,

and there were passerbys walking by,

and there were old people looking at me being like,

this person is just very clearly a prostitute,

like the most disgusting-looking prostitute.

She's been through some shit.

In the world, I hope she's okay. And then me and Big cat started getting into character and like yelling at people that were walking you're walking by too fast skateboarders what you whippersnappers and your hovercrafts and there were some people that would just like stop and there were two guys in particular that looked at us and just stared at us and wouldn't keep leaving they wanted to fight they looked like they wanted to fight it was like when a dog sees another dog for some reason you got under their skin and they're like yeah don't make yo bro's trying to make a clown out of you man and so we almost told him to pull their pants up yeah we almost got into a couple fights and then we got to media night we walked in we made it through security which was nice yeah uh big cat pulled an expert level stunt and he pretended well he actually did drop his wallet and then uh all the security people were like oh let me help you do that with that big scene because he had a cane and we get in we walk around there's marlin's making a big hug and eventually he was just like okay guys get off me and for marlin's man to ask you to stop taking pictures with him you have to have committed an egregious offense right in our case, it was just not looking attractive.
Right, so we go in, we get a tail almost instantly. Some guy from the NFL, like we were standing with, we were totally doing nothing illegal.
We were with like the general audience, basically watching Media Day, bought a ticket. This guy comes up, calls someone, gives a little head nod towards us, then just tailed so we just slowly like elderly people walked in circles and forced him to tail us for probably about 15 minutes right and he was clearly frustrated we even bought him something in the old goodfellas trick being like hey thanks for telling us buddy you must be hungry yeah and uh then we went down i got in so I knew we were fucked not because of our costumes I walked

I breezed right through

so I had a lanyard with my fake credential. I was Hyman Roth.
I walked right in. I flashed my credential.
They let me go in. I texted PFT because right after I got in, a cop then re-asked for my credential.
And I was like, PFT, the block is hot. But I got in.
So he saw your credential a second time after you went through. And he was like, okay, this is good but i got in so he saw your set he saw your

credential a second time after you went through and he was like okay this is good yeah yeah so i think it was the lanyard when you have a lanyard people think you mean something like that was really the big key because i flashed it when you flash a lanyard people like well that guy knows what he's doing and the back of our credentials our fake credentials were completely blank real credentials blank. We knew this was a big time problem.
So PFT used some tape and I'll let you take it from here. Right.
So my credential did not have a back on it. And the wardrobe people were concerned when I was leaving.
They're like, they're going to know that it's fake. So they applied a little double sided tape to the back of my credential.
So it would stick to my nice tasteful cardigan I was wearing, or excuse me, Donna was wearing. That was my name, Donna Gruden.
And so I was walking through security, and it looked like I was going to get through. And then as I was walking past the lady, she goes, why is your credential stuck to your shirt? I was like, oh, that's a whoopsie.
That's a mistake, a minor oversight. By the way, for people who are wondering yes pft did use that exact voice he didn't try to make it any higher no no not at all and and so uh patrick mahomes when he just woke up it was just like an old man who was doing an old lady i'm sorry young man then see that's too old if i tried to go like that but you were doing once once i go higher i get older and get older.
And I looked like I was a hard 70. And I mean, like, I worked by the docks for a while.
But if I'd gone higher, it would have sounded like I was 90. So I'm trying to get past, and she notices the tape.
And I act like it's a big mistake. Like, oh, no, I must have fallen on a piece of tape earlier when I was extracting myself from the minivan.
And so she was like, okay, this is stuck to your cardigan. Why is there tape on here? Wait, there's nothing on the back of your credential at all.
She grabs me by my credential, which is an old school security trick. It's like a dog on a leash.
They just grab the credential. You can't go anywhere.
You can't go anywhere. I should have just sprinted awayed away is what I should have done.
So the NFL security comes over, the police come over,

and I did the expert move of taking all my identification out of my pocket

or out of my wallet before I went in there, and I put it in my pocket.

So the only thing I had in my wallet was I had a Chick-fil-A gift card.

I had an Amazon gift card.

And so when she was trying to get me to show some ID, I was asking, well, i have a chick-fil-a card would you like that i've got this and then i randomly found that i had my old aclu card oh still in my wallet right and so it was you know your rights it was telling me my rights just there it was like god planned me for this moment and i just said am i being detained am i being detained i don't don't have to give you information. I would not like to be impolite.
But in this circumstance, my lawyers advised me to accept my Fifth Amendment right. And so the police came over.
They escorted me out. They knew I was there on a fake mission.
One police officer wanted to arrest me. The other was trying to just get me out of his hair because he was creeped out by me.
Also, shout out to the Miami police. They were actually very polite.
Yeah. The guy that was taking me out, he was like, okay, right this way.
I don't know if I should call you sir or ma'am or what you'd like. And I was like, that's very polite of you.
I appreciate that. So I didn't want to give him too much of a hard time.
And then we got out. And as I was being kicked out, they filled out a little form.
I was issued a notification of trespassing if I return to the premises. I will be arrested.
It's kind of old hat for me at this point, and they asked me my height. I told them 5'10", and then I just left.
That's all that happened. That's exactly how it all went down.
Actually, what happened was there was a police officer that was not involved in the situation and all that overheard me say, I'm 5'10", and she goes, there's no way in hell you're 5'10". You should have just been like, I thought you were- From the clouds.
From the clouds. In the video, it's in the video.
PFT's neck almost snapped. Oh yeah, he was like, fuck.
Absolutely, Rosa. Credit to you for giving that to Hank.
That footage to Hank. You could have deleted that footage.
All I wanted from that interaction at the time was just to have my information put in an official police record that says that I'm never gonna allow because at that time yeah from that moment on i am officially five foot ten so did did you i i wish you had clarified and been like wait were you asking how tall do i walk or how tall i am because you walk 5 10 maybe 5 11 right it's very different it's right i should have worn heels that hank did hank didn't say you should have worn heels because amazing we wouldn't have gotten got so yeah it was a good time i got in i asked andy reed uh if you how his diet was going which was super awkward because i don't think he remembered like any fat guy he didn't remember that uh he said he was going on a diet after the afc championship game so he just assumed my question question was, hey, fat ass, how's your diet going? You should be on a diet. So I panicked and just started screaming, you're beautiful, you're beautiful.
You appreciate that, I'm sure. Yeah, and it was a good time.
I enjoyed pretending to be old. You can get away with a lot of things.
Oh, absolutely. You just walk up to people and be like, let me have a picture and then just have it in video mode and people will help you.
But overall, decent night. I had gotten in for longer but uh the nfl they hate us it would have been great to get in and you know what there were no storylines that came out of nfl media night there are absolutely none so it's like you know if we had gotten in maybe we could have changed that for the league yeah it's true but now okay here's the thing i know when to give up on something and i feel like the the last couple of nights or the last couple of media nights, getting escorted out, being arrested by the police.
By the way, I'm definitely counting this as my third full arrest. Oh, yeah.
Counting last time's media night and the dog show. So I've been arrested thrice.
The only man who's been arrested three times without any handcuffs appearing. Yeah, three times in podcast form.
And so it's good to have have that third one under my belt but i know that i can't do the same thing next year right so we were spitballing earlier today maybe we get dressed up as nfl security what about what about this what if we just stop doing the podcast for the entire year and they think we're dead they forget about us what if we just are we could just fake our own death yeah what if we just what if we just literally go off the grid grid for the next 12 months just for media night we go in as as like hologram versions of ourselves yeah that'd be or oh what if we all what if we get severe plastic surgery yeah maybe i could get my legs lengthened yes just for this bit yes yeah i'll get my legs cut off uh-huh uh would be great is so whenever you see people in a situation where there's security checkpoints and stuff they always let people in if you're wearing like a safety vest right like a bright orange vest because it's like no one would wear that if they're trying to sneak anywhere and And they are probably there for a job. Although nothing really about me says safety or job.
We could also try my theory that the John Mayer hat theory, which I don't know if it's his hat, but it's the Charlie Whitehurst hat as well. Just a really ridiculous looking hat.
Some jewelry and ripped jeans. People will automatically assume you're a musical artist you're an athlete there's a certain style that if we just spent like five thousand dollars on wardrobe people would be like wait okay yeah let them go in they have no one else would wear acid wash jeans that are ripped like 17 different times a couple other ideas one just wear the giant uh the giant headphones with a microphone piece in front of it yeah that's usually good luck if you're some you're coordinating something uh what about if we slept in the building oh we got there the night before yeah that's actually a good idea what if we what if we relocated the podcast to tampa bay where next year's super bowl is and got actual jobs as security i'm'm down.
For the next 12 months. I would be 100% down to do that.
That's just for one night. And then we don't get assigned that.
What if we just, I think if you just carry a bunch of instruments with you, you act like you're in the band. You're like, I'm with the band.
Have like four guitar cases. How about the guys? There's a throwback, but actually Eddie, Barstool Eddie had him on Dog Walk, his his podcast there was guys like probably five years ago two stoolies who showed up to lalapalooza with just a shitload of bags of ice and they let him in yeah it was maybe the best story ever they're just like yeah we went backstage for lalapalooza for the entire weekend we just showed up pretending we were delivering ice because no one is going to be like well hold up guys the ice is going to melt yeah you can't hold up the ice guy i like that another another version of that which i executed at south by southwest a couple years ago you just load up a dolly with beer yes so if you have like nine cases of beer on a hand truck they're going to let you in what about emts we could be emts they always have emts we could find ourselves in a very precarious situation if we dressed up as EMTs.
And there's an actual medical emergency. Let me finish.
We should go to EMT school. Okay.
And become EMTs in the Tampa, greater Tampa area. I could just fake like I'm having a heart attack.
You could be dressed as an EMT, put me on a stretcher, and then wheel me in the stretcher into media day stretcher intermediate right and be like he needs to be as close as possible to the team he needs yeah he needs to have a pep talk from andy reed yeah or else he's gonna die all right well we got ideas we're gonna do it next year is gonna be great uh this super bowl is kind of weird do you guys feel like there's not enough buzz there's not really the storylines because both teams are so likable uh and miami's a weird city because i feel like there are a lot of people who are here just not for the super bowl they're here because it's miami you know what i mean it's not like when we're in minneapolis or houston people are there because there's for the super bowl miami is a vacation spot so you don't know we're mixing with tourists and people here for the super bowl yeah it's it's a bizarre feel to it. I think we need to do a quick spin zone

because we gave you the Super Bowl storylines

before their storylines,

some of which have hit, some haven't.

But we've been,

there have been like no good storylines this week.

So we need to just like,

we need to create our own.

No, the storyline is there are no storylines.

That's a good one.

I was going to say that it's...

Someone's going to write that.

Be like, does this Super Bowl not have buzz?

Or Hank, you could write it. Does the Super Bowl need the Patriots? Ooh, once again, I like that.
Bring up the Patriots before I do. No, I'm saying you should write that.
This is the, this is the earthquake Superbowl. Yeah.
Did you guys survive it? I did. Okay.
I felt it. I felt it.
I know. I'm just going to say I felt it because that way of an earthquake survivor together.
What happened? And neither of us flinched. No, I did not feel it at all.
But then I'm told that there's a tsunami warning that happened. But we're up high enough to the point where I don't think...
I also think I could swim well enough. Just catch the wave.
Just body surfing. I am definitely a party wave.
What about this for a Super Bowl storyline? It's the most Italian Super Bowl of all time. Jimmy Garoppolo.
Dan Marino. Dan Marino.
Nick Bosa. Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah, Patrick Mahomes. Andy Reid, he looks like he's Italian.
The DiBartolo family. Yep.
Richard Sherman. Kyle Shanahan is the Irishman in this situation.
George Kittle's got a vowel on his last name. It does.
George Kittle.. George Kittle.
Greg. Gregory.
Yeah. Gregory Kittle.
Because I was thinking we could call it the never-ending pasta bowl. Yeah.
That would be a cool name. Butt kicker.
We'll have to save the Italian Super Bowl for when there are more actual Italians. But I guess the Niners are a very Italian team.
Yeah. Why not? So I actually went online earlier this morning, and I just looked up famous Italian athletes, and the list under football is surprisingly short.
It's Dan Marino. It's Dan Marino, yeah.
And what's his name, the coach? Mariucci. Skarnecchia.
Skarnecchia. Do you want to use that as segue as your hot seat hot seat, cool throne? It wasn't, but we can talk about it.
Dante Skarnecchia, the Patriots offensive line coach, legend of the game, retired today. Hot seat? Not a hot seat.
I wish him the best. I hope he has the best retirement.
He did nothing but great things to the Patriots, and everyone appreciates his time. Do you think this makes it more likely or less likely for Tom Brady to come back? I would say it makes it less likely.
The best offensive line coach, yeah. If we're doing percentages, I would say that Dante Czarnecki retiring takes that percentage down.
He's also retired before, hasn't he? Yes. So he could still come back.
Like the Dick LeVos thing? Yeah, yeah. Maybe it's the Patriots starting to nag.
Or no. Nah.
You got this. Go ahead.
Find your way through.

Nah.

No, come on.

Come on.

Walk through the take.

I'll walk you through this take, Hank.

Tell Dante to retire.

I was trying to think of a way where it's like Brady comes back and then Sarnecchia comes back.

And it's like, I'll go back if you go back.

Here's what's happening.

That could happen. They're letting him retire because they're so confident that Brady's going to come back that they tell Brady to bring Dante back with him.
Yes. Okay.
That's exactly right. That's what I was thinking.
Yes. Done.
100%. Patriots Super Bowl.
What's your other hot seat, Cool Throne? My other hot seat was us. There's high-rises being evacuated in Miami after 7.7 earthquakes struck between Cuba and Jamaica.
Okay. I was a little concerned about that because when i read that there were high rises was like being evacuated five was like immediate death well yeah so it's um the way not even the way that they measure earthquakes is crazy it's um i i think it's parabolic i think that's the right word for it So,.
So the difference between a 6.0 and a 7.0 is not nearly as big as the difference between a 7.0 and an 8.0. That's infinite.
And the difference between a 7 and an 8 is about the same as the difference between an 8 and an 8.3. It's crazy.
It's parabolic. As it goes up.
So it's on a scale. Yeah, it's on a scale.
I should have just said it was on a scale. I was a little bit worried when they announced that high-rise buildings were being evacuated in Miami that were close to the ocean and I had not heard anything about it because I was currently in a high-rise building that was right next to the ocean.
This is not a high-rise. We're good.
What is a high-rise? It's definitely more than four. We're on four floors.
We're fine. Okay, we're good.
Yeah. High rise, I think, has to be more than 15.
High rise, yeah, 20 plus. Yeah, no, we're fine.
Okay. This is a fucking...
Listen, this is a colonial. This is a colonial.
Dude, we're so... Low man wins.
We're spread out. Low man survives with a tsunami.
That's right. We're going to get it.
Our pad level is going to get underneath the wave. We're fucking fine, dude.
We're going to break that wave up. Cool throne?

Cool throne is duels.

Oh, really?

Duels are back.

Yes, I've been waiting.

Yes.

Why?

Just because duels are sick.

Where?

Her Highness, or no longer Her Highness Meghan Markle,

her dad challenged her husband to a duel.

He said, man up and fly down and see me.

He told him, good morning, Britain.

Wait, why the fuck is this guy? He's not. It's Meghankel's dad no he's always he's like the levar ball of the royal family he's always inserting himself in stuff they're not the royal family anymore now correct now now this is on this is this is all good now it's just like this is a family drama right they'll always be royals to me i'm not going to give up the royal highness i'd be happy to duel with harry anytime the way he been acting, I think he'd crouch on the ground before he gets to 10 steps.
He's a candy ass. He's whipped.
Whoa. He is such a LeVar Ball.
I love this guy. But duels are bad.
And he's pissed because he's not a royal anymore. Imagine if they dueled.
That would be great. The Kansas City Royals should sign them to be like brand ambassadors so they can still claim that they have some royal.
It's mascots. That's their next job.
You might as well mark that some point yeah well they're gonna offer them same with like browsers gonna offer them be like hey you want to do a porn cam soda they should do that all right your hot seat cool throw in pft uh my hot seat is boops okay boops are officially on the hot seat we really missed a scoop no no he he would never. Michael Bloomberg, our next president,

if you go based on how much he spends invading my television on Sundays,

he has been pictured twice now greeting dogs on the campaign trail by grabbing them around the top of their mouth

and shaking them like it's a handshake.

That is a handshake to a dog.

I'm not talking about grabbing around the entire snout.

I'm talking like hand inside the mouth. Yeah.
And then going. That's a handshake.
To the dog. So yes, that's why I'm putting boops on the hot seat because I feel like that is the new, that's the new boop.
Yeah. It's just grabbing a dog's mouth and shaking it.
It's like Putin. Remember that video of Putin who was just like manhandling those dogs? Yeah.
He's trying to earn the Mitt Romney vote. I like that.
Take him by the snout and then throw him on top of your car and drive across the country yes and boom you've built a coalition across party lines there it is uh my other hot seat is cape crusaders so do you know who phoenix jones is who phoenix jones she friends with tiana trump no who who's that who is phoenix jones phoenix jones is crusader. He's a superhero.
He's one of these guys who thinks he's a superhero. The documentary they did in San Diego? This guy's from Seattle, but he's along those same lines.
He goes out, fights crime, helps feed homeless, and he dresses up in a mask, bodysuit, and a cape. Turns out he just got busted for selling MDMA out of his superhero outfit.
Damn. So it it's like mask off but his mask now it makes sense why he thought he was a superhero yeah because he was just tripping balls all the time all the time so um i you know what this is actually like a super superhero movie i could get behind yeah i'm sick of superhero movies but if he's like if he's dealing molly hell yeah.
Sign me up. Drug guy.

My cool throne is Bill O'Brien because he just hired himself as the Texans general manager.

So he's also the head coach, which means that now as general manager, he can fire himself as head coach and stay on as a GM.

So he's perfect.

If he chooses.

Job for life.

Job for life for Bill O'Brien.

Shout out.

Which you already had.

Yes.

All right. My hot seat is myself.
i made it all the way till tuesday before i had to call the front desk to have them unclog my toilet congrats so but here's the hot seat part i called them and asked them to unclog my toilet two hours went by and i looked and the toilet was not unclogged and i called again they're like sir we went and unclogged it i think it's a i think it's a snaker i think they got to snake it like it's a big situation like i think we need a bigger boat yeah like they they came they thought they did it and then no no no no you did not do it it's a big issue of mine uh what did you have for dinner on monday which by the way that's another part of the hot seat is that there's a hagen does right across the street. I'm going scoops, scoops, scoops.
But yeah, the stress test. What did you have for dinner on Mondays? Which, by the way, that's another part of the hot seat is that there's a Haagen-Dazs right across the street.
I'm going scoops, scoops, scoops. But, yeah, the stress test on a foreign toilet never goes well.
So this one, clearly, beautiful hotel, wonderful hotel. The toilet can't handle man.
You might have to start bringing your own toilet on these trips. I mean, it's just, listen.
Can we get you sponsored by a toilet? It's like going to... That would be great.
American Standard. It's like going to a basketball court and you're like, you don't know how the rims bounce.
You don't know how the wooden, you know, like the dribble. It's very true.
You got to take some shots first. So whenever I'm in a new arena and I'm doing my first practice, I like to just flush almost instantly

after the first log drops.

Right, but I did that on Sunday and Monday.

It's not your wife.

And I felt like we were in a copacetic relationship.

Like, I know you, you know me, we got this.

No, turns out no.

So I'm on the hot seat

because I actually might like,

there might be like an emergency in my room.

So are you going to be able to use that toilet again? I don't know. So then it's really going to be a cool throne because you won't be never on it.
All right, my cool throne is Duke. Duke is on the cool throne.
Love to hear that. I think Wisconsin basketball is officially more hated than Duke this year.
Brad Davison up to his old tricks with a nut shot last night. Did you see this? No.
He got... He delied him? Iowa.
It was a very close game. The Badgers totally blew it.
A guy had a perfect pick on him, and he kind of fell to his feet, and as he was coming around the pick, he just punched him in the nuts. I think you should be allowed to do that.
And people are very mad. So I think Brad Davidson has taken the mantle of most hated college basketball player this year, which usually is reserved for the whitest guy on Duke.
So Duke is officially on the cool throne for this year. This year, I think.
It's a weird college basketball year, so it honestly makes sense. I love him.
He's addicted to this stuff. Everything's off in college basketball this year, so it makes sense that there's just another, like Wisconsin randomly is the most.
Right. Like people are, people are honestly hating Brad Davidson.
Like they hated Grayson Allen. Yeah.
Like they're have that level hate for him. I think anytime you say like, Oh, this is a guy that you love to have on your team that you would hate if you played against.
That just means that he's a dick. Yeah, no, but I, but I think that the sport of college basketball is better when there are dicks.
I like Brad Davidson. I like rooting for him.
Let me rephrase that. The sport of college, because I like women's college basketball as well.
That's true. The sport of college basketball is better when there are assholes.
Right. Because everyone has an asshole.
I like rooting for Brad Davidson, but I can very much understand if you hate him, you have every right in the world to. So I'm not going to defend him against people him against people who hate him i'm just gonna say i like him and i'll have his back uh so that's our hot seat cool thrones let's get to our interview great interview with jay cutler greatest chicago bear quarterback of all time this was actually you said afterwards because you had you had never met jay and you're like that was a lot of fun like he is when he's in a good mood he's like the best guy to be around he's a great guy and he has that like sense of humor where sometimes you don't know if he's starting out to like just be dull but then he turns into sarcasm and it's very funny he's he is i like him a lot very very very smart and i think people like naturally don't think pro athletes should be that smart.
So his humor can be disarming.

But it was a very, some funny quotes about Mike Martz, some stories about his career, some good times before.

Okay, here he is, Jay Cutler.

Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, old friend of mine, owner of 14 Chicago Bear Records, which you didn't know until I just told you.

It is Jay Cutler.

Mr. Primetime, Mr.
Fourth Quarter.

What other nicknames do you have? Smokin else i think that's it the sometimes confused for the bodybuilder yeah my son actually just found him on the internet and thinks it's the wildest thing he's ever seen in his entire life so if you don't know what we're talking about go google do a google image search for jay cutler and you'll shocked what comes up first. I want to jump in real quick because Big Cat, when he intro'd you, he dropped the F word, the friend word.
Oh, yeah. Was that over the line, or are you guys friends? No, we're friends.
Yeah, we're friends. Yeah, we're back together.
Yeah, we're back. There was a moment where we weren't together, and now we're back.
We just needed, you know, sometimes you need some space. Right.
Four years. Yeah.
That's fine. Yeah, exactly.
Although, we texted here and there. there usually i would text jay and then he would jay does a really good thing good job of making you feel um really insecure by not texting you back until like a week later like even this when we're coming to new orleans i text him i was like hey we're coming to new orleans it's it would be awesome if you got you on the pod and And then he talked to our friend Steven and was like, yeah, Big Cat texted me.
I'm going to give that a few days. That's a power move, though.
And then we did a week to text him back. And then text me like it was like total mid-conversation.
He's like, cool, we should hang out. Yeah, I like that.
It establishes dominance. Yeah.
All right. I felt good about it.
Yeah. Where do you want to start? Retirement? You feeling good? Are you officially retired? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yes. What? I said that because I don't know if you like ever like there's no retirement papers, you know, like you just you just don't have a job anymore.
I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure there are retirement papers out there.
If you're under contract, I think you have to fill something up. But if you don't have a contract or if you're not on a team it's just it's over yeah okay so let's say let's say uh six months from now uh sam donnell gets mono again adam gaze picks up the phone hey jay 20 million dollars one year new york jets quarterback gosh that's a lot of money that's a lot of 20 million um know.
We'd have to have a conversation. Okay.
So that sounds like half retired, half not. Thinking about playing.
Breaking news, Jay Cutler. Considering playing next year for the Jets.
In the case of Sam Darnold getting a motto again and them throwing a ridiculous amount of money. Yes.
Okay. In all seriousness, did you ever consider because like when you were getting to

the end you're like i'm gonna walk away did you ever there was always the rumor oh he'll go play in nashville was that ever a thing not even close no never even talked to him did you ever think like i always thought you'd be like oh you know what i'm gonna go and just uh hang out and catch a nice paycheck and be a backup maybe for a couple years and then hop in for a couple games yeah the i didn't like the backup thing never appealed to me because you just sit there and you have to do most of the work but then you don't even get to play right so it never it wasn't i never wanted to do it okay so it was either playing or not playing the only time i ever thought about going to the titans is whenever i was going to hit free agency before i signed that that big deal in Chicago. And that would have been one of the times that maybe I could have ended up there.
Right. How sweet was it when you signed that big deal? It was nice.
Yeah. I mean, it's a life changer.
Yeah. I think I remember you told me right before we were out and you were like, yeah, about to sign this deal.
I was like, how many millions? Holy shit. And then do you think it's unfair? It happens all the time in sports, but a guy signs a big deal and then gets judged based on dollars, not everything else.
Yeah. I mean, well, the quarterback's position is like that.
But, I mean, you look at that deal now compared to what's happening, and it's just like, that's peanuts. Yeah.
It just keeps going up and up and up and up. So, I mean, it is what it is.

Yeah. I remember when that happened, when you were first, when you got sent to Chicago, you were pretty close to going to the Redskins, weren't you? Yeah.
Yeah, it was because I think Jake Hamm was with Washington. So they were trying to figure out a three-way.
They were trying to find another team that I'd go to Washington. someone I think would take Jason

and then some pics and stuff would get sent to Denver. But that third team never materialized, so that deal was dead.
Yeah, I remember I was psyching myself for that. I grew up a fan of the Redskins.
The R-word, excuse me. And I remember I was like, we could finally have a decent quarterback.
Yeah, and Shaney was going to – he probably would have went on right away to there so it would have been it would have been cool but never worked out do you think about that sometimes about shanahan leaving denver and like if what the sliding doors you would have been the broncos quarterback forever if shanahan stays there no um i mean you don't know but i mean that's the direction we were headed yeah oh yeah i mean i've talked to mike about it and you know like me and, you know, like me and B. Marsh and, you know, Tony and all those guys.
Like, we've talked about it before. I mean, we had – I think we were the second rated offense in the NFL that year and defense, I mean, a lot of injuries.
I think we had seven or eight running backs who went through that – Jesus. That 08 year.
Mike was special. I mean, he was a heck of a coach.
Unbelievable and his tanning uh bed in his house is pretty sick it's true right yeah tony said that he's got it he doesn't know that he did say shanahan throws the best parties before the season starts oh phenomenal phenomenal parties and everyone just shows up to his house and he gives people like big screen tvs and shit yeah it's just, they give you all kinds of stuff. And then there's like, this is back before Uber, so there was car services that would take you wherever you wanted to go after the party.
He did it right. He did an unbelievable job with the players.
Yeah. Yeah.
Was he your favorite coach to play for? That's a loaded question. Yeah, I mean, probably.
I mean, he was amazing. Rank the coaches you rank the coaches you played worse but only the four worst huh four worst coaches you've ever played for go i don't know i mean and you just get into the league and like that's your first experience and it's such a good one you know it's it's hard to for somebody else to top that yeah was it weird playing and did like is there you always hear about the altitude was there actually any effect throwing the ball when you get there? I thought there was.

I thought you're getting five to eight yards on a throw there.

And the ball just cuts.

You'd go somewhere else, and if you throw a 20-yard comeback

or a deep out or something, in Denver the ball just keeps sailing.

It just keeps going.

How far is the farthest you could throw at your peak?

I mean, Denver probably high 70s. Rocket arms.
That's sick. How far is the farthest you could throw at your peak?

Denver, probably high 70s.

Rocket arms. That's sick.

Rocket arms.

Did you ever just go out and just throw a ball just to see how far it went?

Well, BMR used to want to have throwing competitions all the time.

And he could legit throw at like 73.

Fuck.

I mean, I remember I once went out for a pass that you threw to me,

and it hit me right in the face. And I was like, oh, that's the difference.
I think you also were trying to hit me in the face as hard as you were throwing it. Well, I think that you were saying things that you basically could be a receiver.
You could catch. Well, we have a longstanding from the original.
You were actually the first celebrity were actually the first like celebrity on like a barstool platform with KFC radio.

And we had the debate that you there's at least one sport out there that I could beat you in.

It doesn't exist.

Right.

And I disagree.

I'm a better swimmer than you.

Now stand up.

He's got a swimmer's body.

Look, look at this body.

Nothing about this screams.

Get the booty. He's got tiny ass.
That helps. You said I looked good yesterday.
It was a lie. That's what you say to people when you first see them.
You're like, oh, you look good, man. I do think the upside down triangle body helps swimming, though.
I could be too swimming. You're not a swimmer.
I don't have to be a swimmer. Look at you.
You're an anchor. Darts crazy like even when you when you had the uh when the clip went viral of you playing basketball just dunking on a bunch of like five five white boys in indiana and it's like oh yeah these guys they're athletes of a different caliber do you still dunk yeah like 100 like no like when's the last time you dunked um i play basketball three times a week now.
Really? Yeah. Like in a rec league? With some old guys that used to play at Vandy.
And then their high school coach near me. What's your game? More of like probably drive, slasher.
You know, get some assists, some rebounds. Okay.
You shoot the three? No, we've got some dudes that just light it up. It's kind of shocking how well these guys can shoot.
Yes. Yeah, when you get like a real good shooter, you're like, okay, you just never miss.
Yeah. You play defense? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Big team guy.
You charge guy? No, I'm not taking any charges. He slapped the floor for sure.
100% slapped the floor.

I don't know if you saw this this morning, but Tony Romo,

they're like rumoring that he's going to get $10 to $14 million.

For ESPN?

To be in the booth.

Yeah. Do you regret not taking that gig on Fox and being like,

hey, this could be me?

No, because I got paid more to go play in Miami.

Yeah, good point.

Are you thinking about it, though?

Maybe going into the booth at some point?

Or is that ship sailed because they're going to be like,

Well, if he decides to go in the booth, he's just going to go back and play or something? Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to go back and play. I think that ship sailed for sure.
But going back in the booth is something I've definitely thought about and considered and maybe some meetings coming up here soon. With who? who do you want us to be your agents um no we could do it you think yes absolutely what's your negotiation i could get you on cartoon network what would i want to do that for i don't know that's just the only end that i have in the business we would okay so we'd probably do a big powerpoint of jay cutler the bodybuilder and have everyone look at that it's good They'll be like, you want this guy? My kids would think it's great.
Yeah, right. So isn't that like once you have a bunch of kids, it's like you're just doing it for your kids? Like when Eddie Murphy makes a bunch of Shrek movies and all that stuff.
So we're just doing it for them. So we're like, hey, he's kid friendly.
He can lift a lot. He can still dunk.
Yep. And we include the picture of your ass.
Something for the ladies. Yeah.
Okay. You're going to be incredibly honest.
Okay. In all honesty, going to the booth, when everyone asked me, like, do you think he's going to be good? I was like, if he's honest, he's going to be great.
Do you think you would have been able to? Because it's always tough to criticize other guys. Yeah.
There's that fine line there. I think I i could do it you just have to kind of find a way to do it so it's not you know that guy sucks right right and be like at least have some basis behind what you're saying yeah although that would be kind of refreshing to just have a comment there be like that guy is trash right absolutely garbage who's your favorite quarterback right now oh um to watch i mean still love watching aaron um i don't like that you guys have become friends by the way um you guys have you've like you like texting buddies and we were joking last night you were like when we said we want to get well i think yeah i think you're just mad because he hasn't done your pod yet i think that's what well and also just beats the pairs and also he just beats the Bears every year.
But yeah, that would be part of it. But yeah, I would say if he did the pod, it would probably soften it a little.
Soften the blow. And you said, you're like, oh, we can get him.
I think we can get him. We can try to get him.
We might not get him. I don't like that you text him.
Huh? Just lie to us and tell us you're going to text him. Just be like, congrats on the game.
Oh, I sent that last night. You want me to just take a picture of you guys? Yeah.
Yes. Yeah.
Like, do you feel like this is your best?

Yes.

100%.

This is how it looks.

Hey, let me pick up my drink.

Hold on.

Let me write a quick note saying the line was bullshit.

I don't know.

The refs gave you that game.

He's not taking a picture.

I guarantee you that.

I guarantee you.

Just take a picture.

Okay.

And this is the new camera, so you guys look great.

Oh, nice.

I got that, too.

Nice flex.

You got the iPhone 10.

I already smashed mine.

You're giving me tryptophobia.

Thank you. Just take a picture.
Okay. And this is the new camera, so you guys look great.
Oh, awesome. Nice.
I got that, too. Nice flex.
You got the iPhone 10. I already smashed mine.
You're giving me tryptophobia. I'm afraid of all those holes.
What was the worst game? Like, when you look back, you're like, fuck, I don't miss that. We were through the Giants game where you got sacked.
I think it was nine or ten times. The first half.
It was so bad. The first half.
The Saints game? Nine times in the first half?

It was so bad.

It's impressive.

Yeah, it was crazy.

It's hard to do that.

Yes.

You almost have to try.

Right.

Like, hey, guys, ready?

Don't block him.

Don't block him. Ready, break.

Let's do this.

So was it that one, or was it the Saints game where Mike Martz was calling seven-step drops

when you were no offensive line in the dome? I'll give it to Mike. He had no conscience.
I mean, you've got to respect it. I mean, he was brilliant, too.
I mean, he was unbelievably smart. But he went into the game, and he was literally playing Madden.
With human beings. Yes.
With human beings. It was just chess pieces.
He's like, why is this not working? Let's run four verts. Exactly.
He's like, all right, play up A. Go.
Did you have a conversation at halftime and you're like, hey, man, maybe get me a tight end to chip every now and then? Well, he traded the tight end. Yeah, did you hear me say he had no conscience? Yeah.
He's dialing it up. He's ready.
He always thought the next play was the one. I kind like that i mean i you gotta respect it yeah just fuck it every the next play is gonna be the one it hits uh he told me one time um we were we were talking about a play and stuff and he's like hey i just just take seven steps and just throw it right there and i go mike i don't know how i feel about that he goes hey, hey, if the receiver's not there, it's not going to be your fault.

I'm like, it kind of is, though.

It is.

Like, you don't have an interception thing in your total after the game.

Like, it's going to be my fault.

He's like, he'll be there, though.

I'm like, I don't think he's going to be there.

He's like, let's just call it and you just throw it right there,

and we'll just see what happens.

That's awesome.

And then it was probably an interception. Yeah.
the safety right there like a fuck like a punt shit what about the time that you uh yelled at him from the huddle uh i think it was against the vikings i think it was at that game yeah and donovan mcnab's like last game basically or the end of his career what happened after that when you when you like get back in the locker room you're like hey mike was always super cool i mean yeah he was super cool he always he's got it he's like i get it like it's it's tough you know like we're gonna have disagreements um but i was cool with mike i really liked him what about mike tice um i liked mike tice um we never had issues i i got in trouble that one time when you walked away from dallas but that thing got blown up because I told him

he sat beside me and I go hey bro I just need a minute and he was like no problem and I got up and walked off got it so they don't show that yeah yeah I mean and perception is reality so it is what it is did you ever when you were playing were you thinking that like shit the camera's on me right now like they're definitely because you were the king of like people would just judge yeah every single body language everything that was going on for a little while

um i was like after the nfc championship game like that next year i was a little bit more in tune to it because like fox would come in and they would be like hey they wouldn't tell us this but we knew like there's a camera on you basically anytime you're on the sideline it's like well damn like what that's like what? That's ridiculous. Like I can't even do anything at that point.
So I think that next year I was a little, I tried to, I tried to be aware of it. Um, but then it just got to a point where I was like, I'm this is dumb.
Like I, I, I've got to have some sort of emotions here. I've got to be able to do what I need to do.
Right. Um, so I think at that point I was like, the hell with it.
Look, let's talk about that NFC championship game real quick. real quick even though it's bad memories the one thing that always struck me is like everyone questioned your toughness when we just talked about getting sacked nine times or in vanderbilt getting the shit kicked out of you in the sec was that weird when you're like because i know you and i think a lot of people like you know some guys in the locker room didn't really have your back yeah but was it weird to have everyone be like he could have kept on playing when it was i mean yeah i've played through some crazy stuff i've done i mean like what i mean concussions broken stuff i mean it just is what it is so i think for me to have that that part questioned i mean that hurt i mean that was tough that was a tough one to swallow i mean Right.
To say that I wasn't good or anything else, I'm fine with that.

Maybe some truth to that.

But to say that I just didn't want to play anymore, I mean.

And you tried to play with the knee, right?

Yeah.

I can't remember.

At what point?

Was it right after halftime?

It was right before halftime.

We went in, taped it up, and I went out there and I tried to throw.

I think I threw like one ball. My knee literally just, like, buckled, and it went straight in the ground.
Fuck. And then Todd Collins and Caleb Penny.
Yeah, and so then they're like, I was like, well, I don't think I can throw. I don't think I can run.
And then they put him in. And then that's where it gets tricky.
Like, do I just stay on the sideline? Do you take me? I think now they probably take you in,. You can't just leave a lame duck sitting out there.
Right. Carson Wentz was in the locker room when he got concussed.
He didn't come back. And it also didn't help that you had that big coat.
Well, it was like three degrees. I know, but that coat, that was part of the – it actually was good that it wasn't real full Twitter because then it would have been a total meme.
But that big coat didn't help. Yeah, it was like double X whatever Tom Brady wears.
Right. You looked like three small Jay Cutlers and a trench coat.
Yeah, like trying to sneak into a movie. I needed to be the other Jay Cutler at that point.
He would have filled it out. Yes.
So when you're mic'd up during a game, you were just talking about like being conscious a little bit of the cameras on you. When you're mic'd up during a game, are you thinking about that at all? I boycotted being mic'd up.
You can do that? I don't know. I did it.
They'd come to you just like, nope. Yeah, no thanks.
And then they'd be like, well, can you just pick a game? And I would be like, okay. So I would pick one of the last two games in the season.
And then once we got to that point, if, if, you know, we were out of it or if we were fighting for, you know, playoff or something, I'd be like, if we were out of it, I'd be like, it doesn't even matter. Like we're out of it.
Like you don't even want to use me, use somebody else. And then if we were fighting for it, if the game mattered, like, you know, this is a big game.
I don't want that thing on me. This is, you know, I can't do it.
Future Jay, that's actually genius. So then the next year they can act like, Hey, they want to mic you up like early in the season i'm like ah no but then i got to a point where i was like well i think it's a safety issue now guys because it's a big battery pack and they just put it like just tape it to the back of your shoulder pads and i'm like i'm getting i'm getting my head knocked around out here now you want to put another battery on my back right i don't know i don't feel good about this yeah so then that's another way i point kind of i like that i like that a lot um so can we but i don't understand like why it's so big and i also don't understand the uh the headset situation like we can facetime china but we have a hard time getting these headsets yeah it's true the sideline mess yeah they got we got these battery packs these bigets calls in.
It's true. Yeah, we got these battery packs, these big speakers from 1973.
It's like, I don't understand why can't we just get some AirPods in here and do this. Did you feel bad for Sam Darnold when he had the seeing ghosts thing? Yeah.
I'm sure you've been in that spot where everything you're looking at, you can't. Oh, I've said it.
I've said it. Especially when you're young.
You're processing. You're figuring things out.

And I've probably said that before too.

I'm like, I'm seeing a thousand things out here.

And none of them are probably legit.

So I think it's just being honest.

And it just got blown out of proportion. It's really a no-win situation being a quarterback and getting mic'd up.

Like, what's the best that's going to come out of it?

Right.

You say something.

You're like, yeah, let's go.

Let's go.

Let's Russell Wilson.

Yeah.

And I talked to Dow because he's in the chest. I was like, why did's the situation like why did you pick that game right was his first game back uh it was early yeah it might not have been his first game back but it was it was against the patriots when their defense was absolutely rolling monday night football like don't do that yeah like do it like and you're playing miami like in miami right right right um can we do the don't care story is it true I think we confirmed it on the KFC radio but let's do it again yeah that's fine so you're in Wrigley you're probably like first or second year with the Bears you're at a urinal at a bar in Wrigleyville and some kid comes up to you at the urinal he's like hey Jay I went to Vanderbilt yeah I don't know here's the thing and I don't remember what we said on the radio but my stance my stance has lately when I hear that story is I can't say it didn't happen I can't say it did happen it sounds like you yeah that's the problem.
Like, 100% it could be very true. So, like, hypothetically, if somebody were to say that to you at a urinal right now, your reaction might be, don't care.
I mean, it depends. Like, right now, in this instance right now, like, the state of mind I'm in right now, probably not.
I'd be like, that's cool. Yeah, like, cool, dude.
It sounds much different than don't care. It sounded like you really cared.
Tell me more about your poli-sci degree. Yeah.
In Wrigleyville and, you know, Saturday at 5 o'clock after we've been there for eight hours, I mean, it's a great possibility it happens. Do you regret not going to a real SEC school? I think that Vandy's in the SEC.
Oh, they're at? Is that questionable, too? I'll have to check. Do you think Vandy's better than every Big Ten team because they're in the SEC? At this point, no.
There's been years, yes. It's a different brand of football.
Yeah. You wanted to go to Notre Dame, right? I did.
And they didn't recruit you? No. That's crazy.
No. They were going there they haven't recruited any they don't really recruit right there right in the Midwest that much which is crazy because it's like you're in Indiana it's your backyard think that where else were you considering uh Purdue but they wanted me to play safety okay that's wild that's crazy Illinois Brown wouldn't even like a six what you're like six four I grew in college.
I was like 6'2 at this point. Okay.
Illinois, Ron Turner was there. Okay.
And they offered me. I committed.
And then they called me like a week later, and they said, you know, this kid from California, he wants to come. We want you to take the first semester off and then come in in January.
I was like, well, I'm not doing that. Right.
And then and i was like well i've got nothing else going on and so and so when you're at vandy have i never told you the story of how i ended up vandy no oh gosh so it's basketball season and it's early january and i get a call i'm in school you know they did the intercom thing it's like jay color come to the office i'm like what's what's happening now get to the office and like hey the ad wants to talk to you so i go down there and he's like hey vandy called um they want to talk to you so you know i get on the phone with him they're like hey you know we just watched your tape we're kind of just kind of cleaning up the rest of our recruiting um you know we like it but we don't think you can play tight end in the SEC. I was like, well, it's fine.
I don't even play tight end.

And he was like well it's fine i don't even play tight end he's like well who is this and i you know told him my name and he's like hey all right well yeah we see your tape we'll watch it we'll call you back here in a little bit i'm like okay hang up the phone i'm like look at him like there's they're not calling can i go back to class now and he's like yeah so go back to class literally three hours later um same thing get down there and he's like hey they're on the phone and I talked to him like hey we love the tape um we want you to come to Vandy uh we have a scholarship for you but we didn't know by the end of the day I was like why he's like well we got these two other people you know I mean it's like there were two scholarships left. There were like three kids out there that they were just waiting on.
He's like, whoever gets them first gets them. It's crazy.
You're like, you thought I was a tight end six hours ago. Yeah.
No, man. But I mean, I don't even know where Vandy is.
Because I mean, I'm Southern Indiana, Big Ten country. I'm like, where is Vandy? No idea.
So I look at the AD. I'm like, hey, I got to go home.
I got to figure this out. I got to talk to i gotta talk to my dad he's like all right so i go home and that's like the dial-up internet thing so i get on the dial-up internet you know it's making those noises and i'm like vandy looking at it nashville like where the hell's nashville trying to figure this out and i i call my dad and uh i tell him he's like oh you're going and i'm like i don't even know where this place is he's like you're going you're going just tell him he he's like, oh, you're going.

And I'm like, I don't even know where this place is.

He's like, you're going.

You're going.

Just tell him.

Just call him back and tell him you're going.

Jack was like, I don't have to pay for college.

He's like, you're going.

Call him back.

Oh, a tuition is at Vanderbilt.

He's like, yes, we accept.

If he plays safety, he'll be a kicker.

He doesn't care.

I did a little bit more research, whatever a 17-year-old kid do at that point.

Called him back.

I'm like, all right, I'm in.

Let's do this.

This is the first time. So I did a little bit more research, whatever a 17-year-old kid could do at that point.

Called him back.

I'm like, all right, I'm in.

Let's do this.

That's awesome.

And then like two weeks later went down for a visit and stuff and the rest is history.

At what point when you're at Vandy were you like, oh, fuck, I'm going to be a draft pick?

Like in a high one too.

Because that – I mean you just told the story.

You're a tight end one second.

You're now at Vandy.

Yeah. And you're not – like you probably weren't, I would assume, thinking, like, I'm going to be an NFL quarterback.
You know, I knew, no. I never, like, me and Stephen were talking about it yesterday.
Like, growing up, I never watched much NFL football. You know, it was always college football.
It was more college athletics. And, I mean, now I feel like all i watch is nfl a little bit of college and my kids watch nfl now so it's kind of bizarre um but growing up it was like just get to college and you know keep playing it was more just keep playing ball right and whatever steps happen you know they happen but it was never i don't think i could was ever like you know i've got i'm making the nfl i do this.
This is going to happen. It was always just keep playing.
Like, I just want to keep playing ball somewhere. So then, like, what, like two years? Yeah.
So I think probably after my sophomore year, we started getting a little bit of traction, going into my junior year. And I was like, you know, this is a possibility.
You know, we got a shot here. And then before my senior year, I was like, we can make a run.

We can do this.

And then when I got to the – I did the combine and did senior bowlings

and saw what these other guys in person, what they could do.

I was like, oh, this is – we can –

You got this.

I got this.

And then you had the draft day.

Do you look back at your draft day picture with the oversized shirt and the uh haircut and you're like oh oh i felt great you looked awesome yeah i crushed that day i mean that's 2006 so different times yeah that was a hell of a draft too right that was matt leiner this young we now have had all three of those uh quarterbacks all the quarterbacks Yeah, minor, Vince, and me. It was a good class.
It was fun.

I mean, Arizona called me because they were at 10. Because everyone thought that – everyone knew that Vince was going to go to Titans.
And I think – I don't know the rules now, but it was basically unlimited. The Titans could bring me in because I was within so many miles.
So I went down there and threw three times or so for those guys and fish and finally the last time i mean i'm literally like throwing all my football knowledge i've ever known like on this board and i'm i'm drawing up like option plays and we're looking at fish and going like why am i here like you guys are drafting vince everyone knows you're drafting vince he's like, yeah, I mean, we are. We're just doing it.
I think he's like, I'm just bored, though, right? It was an owner thing, right? Yeah, it was an owner thing. Yeah, it was an owner thing.
He was like, we got to take Vince Young. But I think I remember the last time we did the board, and then we went through in the bubble again.
And I'd thrown at least twice there already. And I was pissed off about off about it because i was like this is dumb like we're we're wasting everyone's time and i threw the i remember i threw like 10 balls literally like seeing if i could throw it through these guys these receivers just throwing missiles at them the big cat route the big cat route yeah yeah i think a lot of people will be interested to know like how this how this bromance began because i honestly i don't really know like what the start of it was how did you guys meet each other well jay's been was always a long time stoolian fan of barstool and i actually like no joke like oh a lot to jay because back in the day when we were starting barstool chicago we had like no money as a company and I remember I said to Dave like we got to make this shirt we put the Chicago flag with the bar with the stools it will sell like hotcakes and he's like I don't know it was back like when shipping shirts took like a month yeah so I went and had three of them handmade and got them to Jay and Jay wore it at a press conference and that was like our first big moment for Barstool Chicago yeah I remember whenever Barstool was kind of up and rolling and uh you know back then it was more just um you know the written stuff with like a picture video and stuff and you really got to you I feel like you really got to feel like whoever was riding you know their riding style and stuff.
And we would always, even some of the guys,

when the big cats started doing it,

like, this dude is funny.

He gets it.

And then I don't know how we found you.

Yeah, I can't remember what the exact connection.

I remember I met Chewy in the halftime of a Bears game

and gave him the shirts.

Yeah.

And then we started hanging out from there.

I know, but how did we first track you down?

I can't remember exactly.

Oh, that's a good question.

Fuck.

Do you down? I can't remember exactly. Oh, that's a good question.
Fuck. Do you guys remember? Oh, you do? Oh, yeah, Neil.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's right, the charity event. Yes.
Yes, because we would do your charity event every year and then that started and it was huge because it's like the starting quarterback for chicago bears is wearing our shirt and like a fan of ours and now was it greg olsen who got you into barstool because he claims that he it could be yeah i think we found it i'll give him credit we might have found it kind of similar times but it was you and like you and greg and i'm trying to think there's maybe a couple other but like you know with ryan whitney like there's basically three or four guys in like the early days who were pro athletes who were like these guys are funny yeah and it was so fucking huge yeah i mean you guys took it and just skyrocketed yeah and then you can't made a lot of money selling the Cutler shirts and Marlboro cigarettes. Marlboro cigarettes one.
Did he ever give you a taste? Did he give you that money? That one got taste and desisted. That one got taken down, the Marlboro one.
That was a great shirt. I have one.
Yeah, you have one. I'll give you some more.
I actually think we did a limited release. We had the Dicca shirt that he wore at a press conference.
That was a good one. Yeah, we then, yeah, we became friends.
And we would hang out probably once a month. And then I said I would take Andy Dalton over him.
I had the flu. I was doing – this was back when I had to really grind.
I remember I was – You're playing her, yeah. It was Ben Finfer was hosting 8 to 9 p.m.
on ESPN 1000. And they're like, hey, can you come in and – So you're blaming you come in and so you're blaming no no no no no no he was like can you do this i was like it was the point of my career where it's like you don't say no to anything yeah you tell me where i'll be there i'm doing it yeah i was dead i was like so sick i pounded two red bulls and a day in two day calls i mean look at you now you just wear jumpsuits yeah you call the shots i got it made And some caller called in and was like, would you take Dalton or Cutler?

And Andy was like five years younger. And I was like, given everything, I'd probably take Dalton right now.
Went home, went to sleep, slept till like noon because I was so sick. Woke up.
And there was a bunch of text messages being like, hey, Big Cat, way to go, dude. You're just going to take Dalton over Cutler? Jay never said it.ay to his credit he never was like fuck you dude it was his the rest of his crew that are loyal and they're like what's what's your problem and that was kind of it for a while yeah we took a break yeah we went through a break and now we're back but it was always like i mean it was you know it's a it actually taught me a important lesson too because it was tough i think for you too like we were legitimate friends but i also had to talk about the bears and when the bears went through bad times it was like i can't and there was some dark times right and i had to and like i had to and people always said i didn't criticize you at all and i still had to at times and it was like it was a tough relationship to have at like some dark times so i think romeo and juliet yeah we're back star Star- we're back we always had a good time together yeah yeah i like that that's really romantic it's good to be back it's good to be back it feels good i'll probably be out in like two years again that's fine i mean it goes in cycles that's right any good relationship does you're hot and you're cold yeah right you have to enjoy the ups when they're up you're right yeah you brought up ago, like in the middle of a rough season, that's got to feel just so demoralizing looking at the calendar and being like it's October, like a second week in October, and this is going to get worse before it gets better.
Oh, yeah. We're going on a dark road here, guys.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, whenever you're in a season like that and you know that there's no hope and there's no reinforcements coming it it it's it's soul crushing yeah the uh there was a couple i mean like the the trustman thing and i know you you've always been like publicly very nice about mark but like it just that one just kind of fell apart and it fell apart in like the blink of an eye like that it was crazy on paper you looked at team um i think we were talking about it yesterday um because we saw marty um you know you had marty you had alshon you had b marsh you had forte um offensive line was was wasn't bad um so on paper it looks it looked legit um but i think that what we ran into is you know you had a lot of different personalities there and you had some older guys too um that were i'm not gonna say set in their ways but um you know you have to be able to manage those um in in the right way and i think that's where it kind of lost traction of just being able to deal with everybody and keeping everyone focused and keeping everyone on the same track do you ever did you ever like do you have any regrets with like being the leader of a locker room and maybe not doing enough or anything during your career um yeah i mean that that one was tough because i think once you lose the locker room with the way that we lost that locker room um you know from the top down i think I think it's, it's, it almost gets pitted, you know, the guys versus, you know, management and coaches.
And to step in the middle of that, I think is really risky sometimes. Right.
Because now you're positioning yourself in a weird place. Like who's back, who has your back and which side are you on? So you kind of almost have to pick a side.
Yeah. Which is rough.
I mean, especially when everyone's on the same team. Everyone should have the same goals in mind.
But the two parties see it completely different, and that's hard. When you got into the league, Plummer was a starting quarterback, right? Yeah.
Jake Plummer. He awesome he seems like a a good guy to kind of learn from but was that awkward at all like being the you know the guy that the franchise is paying their future on you come in and you know there's an established veteran that's it yeah it that was it was weird um but i thought jake handled it the best way possible i mean he was always i mean so I mean, so great with me.
He was cool as hell.

He helped me.

I remember the first, we came in in like May.

And that's back when like you just had like OTAs and it was a little bit longer.

So I think like three weeks in, he's like,

hey, I'm going out of town.

And that's when me and Tony were running.

He was like, hey, can you guys watch my house? Looking back at it, I think it was like a test. We failed the hell out of it.
So he left. You and Tony Scheffler, like 23 years old.
So we go to this house. We end up having like a huge party at his house.
Like we're in his pool. We have people everywhere.
Next morning, we're trying to clean it up. I'm like, what? Looking back, I'm like, this is the dumbest thing we could have done.
Just go over. Don't even watch his house.
Just be like, I'm leaving town, too, but I can't do it. What does it mean watch my house? It was a test.
Did you have it? It was a test. Did you have a dog that you had to let out or plants that needed to be? I hope he didn't have a dog.
It doesn't sound like you watched yeah i don't remember that all i remember is as soon as he as soon as he said that to us

just telling just going to tony be like you're never gonna guess what we get to do this weekend

and it was an awesome house yeah you guys like broke shit trying to fix it before he gets back

real quick vacuuming we got trash bags everywhere oh random clothes um what about your rivalry with

phil rivers one of the best clips when you guys were jawing each other on the sideline yeah

Thank you. Cash bags everywhere.
Picking up random clothes. What about your rivalry with Phil Rivers?

One of the best clips when you guys were jawing at each other on the sideline.

Yeah.

Have you still talked to Phil at all or anything?

I never had Phil's numbers.

I never talked to him.

I respect the hell out of this game.

I mean, what he's done.

Yeah.

I mean, he's a hilarious guy. That was a great answer by you because you're just like, yes, Phil Rivers is a quarterback.
I respect the fact that we have the same job. He's number 17.
He has a lot of kids. He's got an army of kids.
And he's doing it. See, I kind of feel bad for you because as a quarterback, as a player who's playing the game, you didn't get to actually watch Monday Night Football on TV.
Because when it was you and him yelling at each other, it was amazing television because they were cutting right back and forth. I'm sure he was saying, like, the meanest stuff, but in the nicest language possible.
Dang it, Jay. You mother freaker.
I don't think you'd say that. Gracious to Pete.
Yeah. Dad Gummett.
Did I text back? You didn't text him. Huh? You didn't know the way you texted him.
I did text him. I just texted him the picture.
I didn't even put a caption on it. He's going to be like, who the fuck are these guys? Oh, these are the guys that interview my girlfriend every now and then and say weird shit.
They constantly talk to my girlfriend about Jack off crystals. That's going to be fun.
What year do you look back on? Did you see the house that they bought? Yes. Yeah, he's broke now.
Yeah. Cash.
Cash? Yes. Maybe we can do the interview there and just stay.
Maybe we can house with that one. How long do you think we could live in Aaron Rodgers' house without him finding us? Weeks.
Yes. Maybe longer.
That would be actually fantastic if we just spotted a pool. Is there a best way to get the interview? I think so.
That you can start practicing. Yep.
I'll just sleep on the bottom of the pool. Yeah.
Get fit. I would wreck you, and we'll do it.
Do you have a pool at your house? Yeah. Okay.
Perfect. Yeah, like four.
I just invited myself over, and we will race. Okay.
How far are we racing? Once back and forth, and if I lose that, we'll do an underwater race because I'm good at that as well. Yeah.
you are an anchor so you spend most of the time underwater. And if I lose that we'll do an underwater race in jeans.
I won that as well at the Jaguars pool. Why jeans? I don't know.
We just did it and it was stupid. Who did you race? These two guys.
It was in the Jaguars stadium so you know they have that pool that overlooks the field. I mean I can see you not being good as well.
No, I'm an right now not me not me um yeah you're not gonna you're not gonna out swim me yes i will i will out swim you now easily and if i have to what's your die in the pool what's your stroke we'll do every stroke okay i'll do you do uh the sideways stroke what's that called that's not a real stroke yeah it's a dying seal we'll do we'll do uh doggy paddle we'll do breaststroke we'll do backstroke we'll do freestyle we'll do underwater butterfly what is it medley yeah we'll do everything okay i i got this i'm not worried about i actually do swim in high school you're in the swim team no i'm just a very good swimmer i agree with his his theory though he is better than – like everyone has something that they're the best at in the world.

What's that for you?

Kicking.

I'm a field goal kicker.

He could kick better than you.

I can kick better.

Oh, easily.

What's your long –

Is that like coming for something?

No, what's your longest field goal that you've ever kicked?

What's your longest field goal?

I'm not a kicker.

Yeah, exactly.

So I'm better than you.

I don't think so.

I can kick 47 yards.

Exactly.

What about 48?

Nope.

So I need to kick a 48-yard field goal to beat you. That's all you have to do to beat me i'm a 47 yard specialist um only 47 yards i mean give me a little bit of time i think i can kick a 48 yarder who's the best kicker you ever played with not you you haven't played with me robby robby yeah yeah okay that's not an insult though that Robbie Gold's a better kick.
I will cede that point to you.

If an NFL team was like, hey, we can guarantee everything you kick will be under 30 yards, what do you think your percentage would be in the NFL?

96%.

What?

Under 30 yards?

Easily.

I'm trying out for the XFL this week.

You wouldn't get blocked?

How many steps?

Can we see your approach and everything?

You want to see it?

Yeah, yeah.

I'll show you my approach.

We got a lot of tape, too.

We got a lot of tape.

All right.

Here's PFT's getting up.

Huh?

Are you a whore?

Yeah.

All right.

I want it right here.

Okay.

PFT's stepping back.

Lace is out.

Here he goes.

Actually, laces out isn't that big of a deal.

A good kicker should be able to make it.

Three laces go off to the side.

Okay.

That's when it really fucks you up.

Boom.

That was a good kick.

That looked good.

I will give you guys this.

Your confidence is...

Great.

Yeah, it's on par.

It's all about the confidence.

Yes.

So it's hard for me to doubt it. But looking at you both.
We exude it. Looking at you both.
I know what you're saying. Some doubt comes.
It's creeps out. I look too masculine to be a kicker is what you're thinking.
I look like too good of an athlete. You look at us and you're like, how did these guys fail all the way upward to here? That's a great point.
Yeah. Like you guys literally just fell off a building and landed here.
Pretty much. Pretty much.
Sometimes it feels like that. You wore one shirt and then I landed here.
That's pretty much, that's pretty much the like condensed version of it right there. Let's play a headline grab.
Ready for this? Headline grab. Jay Cutler gives what type of advice to Mitch Trubisky? Oh, goodness.
This is a good headline grab. I don't think it's going to be good.
No, it's going to be good. Don't read anything.
Okay. But he's reading this right now.
Yeah, I know. Yeah.
Stop reading is your advice to Mitch Trubisky. Go underground here, bud.
Yeah. Did you, were there times? Because I feel like that happens where everyone says, oh, yeah, I don't read anything.
But you would still. Well, someone's going to tell you what's happening.
And you have to be aware because you have to do a press conference. So someone's going to ask you something of what's happening.
Right. Or someone's going to ask you a question, hey, so-and-so said this.
So you have to be aware you have to know what's what's going on how much does that suck to have to like like willfully be like told all right give me the bad news yeah like tell me what's gonna happen how am i about to get punched in the face right now right yeah and that's the problem i think i think for a young guy like him and being in chicago it's a tough town expectations were huge um so i think you know you watch some of his press conferences and stuff and you could tell he really bothered him sometimes I think yes um and whether that affects him I don't know I don't know how it affects him it has to somehow right but um you know the the more he can get away from all that stuff I think the better for him going forward that's a really interesting point though because at because if you're the quarterback and there are all these narratives surrounding you

and surrounding the team,

it's not good for you to listen to those.

It's not good for you to listen to sports talk radio.

But at the same time,

you know that the other guys are hearing it too.

So you have to know what they're thinking

if you want to be able to lead them effectively.

Oh, absolutely.

You have to know where the arrows are coming from.

I mean, I wouldn't go online and find

this stuff but i mean our their pr guy before a press conference i'd be like all right you know

what do i even know you know and he he gives you the rundown like you know they're saying this

they're saying this they're saying this the cat said annie dalton's better yeah the cat said annie

dalton's better so you got you got to know i was definitely on the yeah the cheat sheet that

morning who do you hate the most in chicago media i didn't hate any of them personally. I think it's probably still that way.
It's just a negative vibe to them. You know what I mean? They would much rather.
I feel like they thrive whenever a season happens like that versus they go 13-3.

The Mark Trestman clown show season when everything just fell apart.

Yeah.

So I agree with that.

There are some people in the media – it's not everyone in the media.

No, not everyone at all.

There are some people in the media who it feels like they're almost rooting for the Bears to fall apart just so that they can –

They can just write their stories and just crush them.

Right, because it's better to fall apart than finish 8-8. Yeah.
Yeah. That does seem like a Jay Mariotti special.
Yeah. Just like once he shows up in your locker room, you know nothing goes out.
Yes. Yes.
The wheels have fallen off. Do you have a list of people who like – even it can be national, not Chicago.
Do you have a list? You don't have to say the names. Do you have a list of people you're like, oh, yeah, that guy, I remember? No like there was i don't know i want to say this but you know there was some of those years that were so bad that everyone was talking yes bad about us so like the it would be a notebook yeah if i kept track right you know just be oh yeah like an encyclopedia yeah anyone that's ever written about the bears at some point probably crushed me in them yes did you did you like the smoking jay cutler stuff i didn't mind it i we never we never uh i don't think we ever really told anyone to stop doing it people have sold stuff and there's things everywhere and we never really went after anybody and you leaned into it with the picture that i took at your 30th birthday party where he was dressed up like a...
It was an 80s themed party, right? And that was like he leaned into it by posting... He posted a picture of him fake smoking a cigarette.
And the internet went wild for it. It was a funny meme.
I mean, your face is perfect for... There are a lot of people who think you actually do smoke two packs a day.
I know. Have you ever smoked? No.
No smoke at all. Really? No.
I've never shopped a cigarette into your ass in that in the naked picture that got put online. It's very funny.
Why'd you do that? Because I got I got the caption at Jay Butler and everyone thought that was funny. That's pretty good.
People laughed at that. You got to admit that's pretty fucking good.
I don't think. Okay.
You write in your caption for your ass huh that's it's not my thing though but i don't i don't see i'm better at writing captions for your own ass than you are that's not an athletic event that's probably yeah that's probably true you don't know the olympics are hurting for events are they might add that like that'd be like us versus they do jerry i i do want to get a team together um for the olympics they have think it's handball, but it's basically like a little ball that you throw around and then throw into a goal. So it's like soccer, indoor soccer with a ball that you throw.
Oh, you should play that. You'd be a very good handball player.
That would be so sick if you started, if you like had a second career as an Olympic. But like, I want to go and do that.
Yes, you should. Just throwing missiles.

I think if it was you, Patrick Mahomes, and LeBron,

just how many players play in handball?

Like, eight a single time?

So, if it was you three against eight players from any other country,

I think we win.

I guarantee we can put a team together and win gold.

Yes.

Guaranteed.

I would absolutely agree with that.

Yeah, just from pure, like, arm speed. I don't think guys in other countries.
And just a really big guy is a goalie back there. If you watch it, I mean, I've studied this from time to time.
It sounds like you're ready to go. If you watch it, usually all these teams have an old guy that plays goalie.
That's just like he literally, if someone's coming, he just guesses. Just throws his hand out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes hits the ball, sometimes doesn't.
All right, so you're in for that. All right, my last question.
Seeky question. Promo code TAKE.
$10. Go to the Super Bowl.
We're going to run this Monday Super Bowl week. So you're going to lead Super Bowl week.
No pressure. The van, do you still have it? We have a minivan now.
So you got rid of the conversion van? It went minivan. Why? What did you do went minivan why you sell it yeah i'll tell you why um because the kids can get in and out themselves and buckle up themselves in their seats in the minivan in the minivan conversion van no no you had to help them open the door you had to close the door now like they can open the door they can get in they can press a little button the door closes they can buckle up.
That van was so sweet, though. That van was sweet.
So sweet. Kristen hated it.
And it had like, oh, it was so sweet. Wait, did she tell you to sell? No.
No. She doesn't really care that much.
Oh, we should mention Harry Cavallari. His new season is out.
Oh, yeah. Yes.
So you're a reality television star. Yeah.
I think we were at dinner last night. And I get recognized now more just for being a reality on a reality show than football.
The girls come up and they're like, hey, love you on Barry Cavallari. That's so cute.
I love how you went to the office and really took charge of the shipping. Oh, you fucked those people up.
Huh? When you showed up as boss. In the office the office yeah i feel bad for some of those people down there they were so scared of you yeah there was a few that were like i've been on the receiving end of that look from you the maddest you ever were at me was when we were in montana and we were at a house and they were there were so there was a like a uh you could basically tee off it was like a pitch and putt from the house to about 100 yards away to a little green and we were playing all day drinking, hitting balls to the green and at the end of the day Jay was out grilling and I was like I'm going to help clean up and I just started firing balls from the green back towards the house and I almost just sculled him with like six golf balls.
And he was like, Big Cat, the fuck are you doing? And gave me that look. And I was like, okay, I really fucked up this time.
So when I saw their look, I was like, I've been there. It sucks.
I know that. I absolutely love your guys' relationship where you're like best friends and then you just fuck up royally.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
All the time. At least once or twice all the time.
Mess up all the time. Take me back back jay well i mean he's firing golf balls right that's pretty big mock three mock three at me yeah and claiming to be cleaning up i was i was cleaning up everyone was helping out get out of here people doing the dishes i was just shooting golf balls pick him up and put it in the bucket and bring it up here it seemed like a good idea at the time um all right well jay thank, thank you.
Future quarterback of the New York Jets. Yes.
And recurring guest now. So now you have to come on anytime we ask.
Okay. So you're going to come on.
When do you want to come on again? I'll be in – when are you guys going to the Super Bowl? You're going to go to Miami? Just for a couple days. We're going down that Sunday, I think, right? We're going to come back on, yeah.
Are we going to come and Rowdy? Are you going to go to the game Sunday? No, we're going to the Sunday before. Oh, okay.
As Big J Journalist, we're going to be there. Maybe Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or something? All right, so you're going to come to Rough and Rowdy on Friday night.
Where's that? We're boxing. It's somewhere.
In Miami? Yeah. We have a fight.
Oh, didn't you guys buy that? Yeah. How's that going? It's awesome.
You want to box in it? No. Why not? Can I box PF2? Yes.
Yeah, you can. I will set that fight up right now.
You think you beat me? Oh. Kicking's allowed.
We tie. We can't kick box, obviously.
Your right leg is deadly. Dude, it's a gun.
It's a freaking cannon down here. Do you only work out your right leg? Yeah, I just do calf raises and leg extensions.

Whole right side of his body.

Yeah, you get that whole right chain.

My right nut is basically

down to my knee.

My left one's high and tight.

Makes sense.

All right, well,

and then let us know

how that A-Raj text goes.

You said you could get him on.

Aaron, you're listening

to this right now.

We know you are.

He might hate you.

He probably does,

but that's okay.

You're the bigger man.

Why do you think

he would hate you?

I've said some things.

Like what?

I don't know.

I've always beenaced it with he's a fantastic quarterback, Hall of Fame quarterback. What's the worst thing you've ever said about him? He's wished death on him a few times, I think.
Yeah. That's not bad.
It's not death. It's more like it would be a real shame if he got injured again.
Yeah, that's kind of. It'd be a real shame if Shane McClellan walked through that door and fucked up his shoulder again.
Shane McClellan, fucking all-time bear. Just for that.
Yeah. I mean, he didn't do much else.
What else? He's got a Super Bowl ring. With the Patriots? Yes.
I was thinking about that a couple weeks ago. Some of the guys that I've played with, they go to other teams and they just get rings.
This is bullshit. How does this happen? What did I do? Some unnamed source sent me a Shane McClellan Super Bowl ring picture that was signed by him.
He's a great dude. Nicest guy ever.
And worked his tail off, so it's well-deserved for him. Right.
But there are dudes that just go to different teams that are just straight clowns. And you're like, how did you stumble into this one? Like you guys, obviously.
Yeah, right. Exactly.
Classic example right here. Yeah, we love those type of guys.
All right, Jay, thank you. Cool.
Thanks for having me on. It's fun.

The Chicks in the Office titled it the craziest episode of Reality TV scene ever.

Shut up.

So it was quite, quite...

No, no, no.

Actually, shut up.

Quite an episode.

What about when Puck spat on that dude?

Yep.

Or what about when David hit...

Pumpkin?

What's her name?

Slapped her in the face.

You talking about when Pumpkin spat on New York?

No, New York spat on Pumpkin. Puck.
Olduck. What about when CT tried to eat Adam's brains? That was a sick one.
That was a sick one. Or when he backpacked Johnny Bananas.
Or what about when hoops... That's what I'm talking about.
Yeah, yeah. When pumpkin spat on hoops.
Oh, that's what I... Oh, no.
New York. On New York.
New York. What about the 28- The NFL is the ultimate reality show.
Fact. All right.
We ruined it, dude. We were talking about I Love New York, the greatest reality show of all time.
Flavor. Flavor of Love.
Yes. I Love New York was a spinoff.
Yes. Fucking love that show.
Hoops dated Shaq. Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Married, I think.
Whoa. Maybe.
Maybe. Shaq.
now we're just throwing out allegations. Yeah, okay.

I don't know.

Those tabloid pictures were always hilarious.

Early Aux VH1 reality television show.

Rock of love. I mean, Bret Michaels was like my hero before I realized he was so washed up.

The rehab show, Celebrity Rehab.

He had such a good catchphrase that never really caught on.

Bret Michaels just walking in the room and going, what's going on?

Yeah.

Danny Bottaducci just fucking taking vodka to the face every morning. Yeah.
He was hardcore. What about the pickup artist? Yeah.
Mystery. Yeah.
To get a girl to like you, tell her that she sucks. Maybe we'll do like a reality.
We should have mystery on this. Early 2000s reality, like watch party for shows in the summer.
We should do that. Okay.
We should have maybe like Playmakers. Hoops and Shaq not married.
uh by the way episode six of playmakers review coming out next week breaking moves uh pete took drew's laughing at that he doesn't even know what we're talking about i love this guy by the way if you want to watch true laugh at her jokes go to i already did that oh you did yeah that's okay want to make sure we got that in there pete took victoria f on a one-on-one date to a surprise chase rice concert turns out victoria f dated chase rice before coming on yes i mean our guy chase he's like charles woodson back in the day like you know uh two-thirds of the world's covered by water one-third by charles charles woodson chase rice is dated like two-thirds of the world so i'm two-thirds of the world's covered. The other third is by Chase Rice's ropes.
Yes. Let's keep it classy.
He's a lover. His semen.
No. His vocal inflection.
Yes. His cum.
He's just a good dude. Pete then took the woman on a group date to the Cleveland Browns Stadium.
Oh, Baker was probably there. Most romantic place on earth.
Do you think Baker's House?

They played a game of tackle football

coached by Josh Cribs and Hanford Dixon.

Also, I guess on the show

when Chris Harrison was saying,

like, all right,

everyone, we're going to Cleveland.

And usually that's when all the girls

are like, oh my God, we're so excited.

It was just like,

everyone was just blank face.

Like, we're going to Cleveland

and they're all just like, oh.

I love when they do that.

That's an old real world trick

when they would be like, and your trip is Argentina. And then when you're like, you're going to Yugoslavia.
Like, oh, shit. And then Alaya, whoever you guys remember got sent home.
Yugoslavia. I love Yugoslavia.
Was your map from 1987? Was it not Yugoslavia anymore? No. Oh, well, I love whatever it is now.
Respect. Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina.
I actually did that on purpose so that I wasn't offending a current country. Okay.
Didn't want to get canceled. Aliyah shows back up and asks people.
There are a lot of fascists that lived in Yugoslavia. You guys are missing the most important part.
Aliyah showed up. She got sent home last week, so she's not on the show.
They actually had death squads that executed people that were fighting against Nazis. So this is kind of a pattern for you in today's episode of Big Cat.
Aliyah, who got sent home last week, shows back up and asks Peter to let her come back in, and he did. The other girls in the house are pissed at Pete, and some threaten to leave.
So is this an empty threat, or are they actually going to bounce? I don't know. This is like a union situation.
They're unionizing. The bachelorettes are unionizing.
Potentially. That's what it sounds like.
Well, I mean, the whole show is about roses, so they're probably all DSA. True.
I don't get that joke, but I bet you it was a good one. Yeah, I trust you.
It's not great. You've probably noticed some roses on Twitter.
No, you actually probably haven't. Go ahead.
That's it. Okay great i mean that's the worst slash best bachelor talk we did i remember what happened a lie uh all right we have a take quick go ahead if all the bachelorettes walked out it'd be crazy okay yeah i do have a take quick this is a good one so this comes to us from kent sterling uh his bio on twitter labels him a celebrant of sports excellence and a life of mistakes.
Author of Oops! The Art of Learning from Mistakes and Adventures. So this guy has fucked up so much, he's actually turned it into a career.
His new article is about the Cubs. The Cubs put up netting that go, I guess, all the way down the lines to protect fans from foul balls.
Which makes sense because kids keep getting smoked with foul balls and going to the hospital. It's like, hey, maybe we shouldn't do this.
That's loser mentality if you're Kent Sterling. His article was titled, Chicago Cubs will protect fans too stupid or sluggish to avoid foul balls by extending nets.
And so I went to his website. Can I read a little bit of this article here? Sure.
Sometimes it is decided that people need to be saved from their own inability to protect themselves, such as the case at Wrigley Field, where the Cubs will string protective netting beyond where the old bullpens used to be because people are seemingly incapable of shielding themselves from foul balls. Then he goes on to say that there have been 510 fans that have that have needed assistance after being hit by foul balls just in the last four years so that's like one it's more than one injury per game so it has nothing to do with like the bats being a weird wood or the balls being juiced or guys being so fucking enormous and hitting screaming line drives down the line it's sl, right? He'll tell you it's a combination of sluggishness.

He says that's a little bit over one injury per game because fans were

looking at their smartphones talking to each other or otherwise distracted

from the infield actions.

100% of those were smartphone actions.

Stop talking to each other at baseball games.

That's his advice, too.

And also, like, kids, I don't know if the kids are on smartphones, too.

But you know what he probably thinks? He probably just thinks, just thinks like give everybody gloves yeah that's the answer to it because he said there's there's also the chance young children were hit because parents prioritize sitting close to the field over the desire to protect their kids oh yeah yeah maybe adults unwisely drop the kids in seats closer to the batter than they were so it's difficult to catch or deflect foul balls before they struck the youngsters. Whatever the case, it seems personal responsibility is taking a holiday at Wrigley and other major league ballparks.
This guy sucks. This guy is trash.
It actually reminds me of a sweet meme I saw today. I should have retweeted it when I saw it.
It said there have been zero new sightings of Sasquatch in the last 10 years. And it shows Sasquatch walking in Central Park and then like three people sitting on a bench looking at their phones.
Banksy. That's a Banksy right there.
You idiots. Oh, actually, here's exactly why he wrote this entire take.
I just figured out. Did he get hit with a foul ball and his brain leaked out of those ears? I got to this paragraph just now and it makes total sense.
I actually caught a foul ball during batting practice closer to a cubs versus mets game well my two-year-old son ryan was perched on my shoulders so he's basically saying he wrote this entire article to brag yeah that parents are capable of protecting kids because he did it right even while his kid was on his shoulder so maybe congratulations to kent for uh writing this article about how one time he made a sick catch. Maybe this is like the old gun debate.
We need to arm the teachers. We just need to have Kent Sterling go and play defense at every stadium in America.
Or we arm everyone that's in attendance so they can shoot the ball out of the air when it's coming at them. That's perfect.
Just give everybody else a bat. Right.
To hit the ball back onto the field. The ball's always live.
Oh, also a little nugget here about kent sterling's website he's got a section for sports section for media section for opinion and then a section for truth so truth button real quick it's a strong it's a strong move let me see what's under truth i would like to see the first thing under truth it also implies that everything else on your website isn't truth um the featured story chicago cubs will protect oh that's truth that's under truth uh big 10 basketball is a crap shoot so let's actually as a big 10 fan that is very much true so let's shoot craps to determine where indiana and purdue will finish okay i like that so he actually brings out dice perfect uh peyton ramsey enters the transfer. Indiana football.
Truth. Truth.
All these are truth. All right, Hank, do you have guys on chicks for us? Yes, have some guys on chicks.
We also have some questions for Donna and Hyman. Oh, Hyman Roth.
What's up, guys? Just an investor, a retired investor. I'm going to a wedding with my boyfriend this year for one of his friends.
They aren't super close.

And I actually.

Are people getting married?

The.

No.

Oh.

The boyfriend and the groom.

Got it.

It might be an arranged marriage.

Yeah.

And I actually casually hooked up with the guy in college.

Am I obligated to tell my boyfriend or can I keep that information to myself? I would tell him just in case somehow someone in the friend group lets that slide. Let's let's.
Maybe in like a speech or something. That would ruin the wedding.
Yeah. Also, it's kind of a sick flex to just be like, by the way, that guy that thinks he's in love with her, fucked him first.
Actually, that's a tough one. Then the guy's going to be thinking about it the whole time.
Yeah. My real answer, that's a good, very good option.
Just don't go to the wedding. Or just stay in the toilet, in the bathroom while you're at the wedding right my real answer would be no you don't need to you don't need to share it's way worse if someone says hey didn't you guys hook up that conversation probably isn't going to happen at a wedding when you run out of shit to talk about at that weird table with like the mishma because he's not a close friend so he's going to be at that weird table mishmash of people like maybe a couple random cousins that's like how do you know him oh i don't know better safe than sorry why don't you get on the mic right after the maid of honor speech and let everyone in the wedding know that way there's no confusion and what if you don't have to jump with like two girls in his life and he says that like true there's only you're the only other one i've ever the that though makes me think like there actually is no worse feeling than going to a wedding and realizing that you're at the oddball table and like you you sit down and no one knows no couple knows the other couples and you're like okay so they just ran out of room and they threw us all here hey guys especially drug guy pft my boyfriend and i have been dating for four years and whenever i bend over he comes up from behind and acts like he's humping me.
He does this two to three times a day. We have sex, so that is not the issue.
Is this something other guys do, or should I bring up with him? Thanks. Correct.
Every guy does this. Every guy.
It's natural. It's like combing her hair.
Yep. Ever been to a dog park? Same thing.
Speaking of which, Stella gets humps and tries to get humps. Like, other dogs want to hump Stella all the time.
Speaking of which, I just got distracted. What did she put out there? My brother got a puppy.
You have to ask about the elements of provocation. Named Mookie.
And I was distracted. Wait, didn't they trade him? Still a good puppy name.
Should I be concerned? I guess. I don't think he named him because he's a diehard Red Sox fan.

Mookie Betts is on the fucking Tampa Bay Rays next year.

Or the Yankees.

He's going to be like, well, yeah, this is Mookie.

Yeah, that's a good.

I don't think you need to justify naming a puppy.

Maybe he should cover all his bases and buy a couple of Mookie Blaylock jerseys.

Just so people will be like, oh, it was that Mookie.

I got a question for you guys.

It's kind of personal.

But since we're doing guys on chicks.

No, I don that Mookie.

I got a question for you guys.

It's kind of personal.

But since we're doing guys on chicks.

No, I don't think it's herpes.

Okay.

Well, I didn't tell you which simplex.

Okay.

There are two.

Leroy's never humped anything or a dog.

Oh.

Verge?

Is Leroy asexual?

Verge.

He's never even tried.

Well, he's probably too big.

He's too busy trying to get scoops. Scoops.
Yeah, that's true. Yeah, he's probably too big.
Too busy trying to get scoops. Yeah, that's true.
He's married to the game. The only thing that gets his rocket going anymore is just firing off a tweet, breaking a transfer portal.
Hey guys, my husband and I went to a housewarming party this past weekend and all of a sudden he and two other guys got into this heated argument. I went over to ask what the argument was about and my husband said it was a question if you would rather have the Super Bowl be on a Saturday or have Super Bowl Monday be a national holiday so you don't have to go to work the day after the Super Bowl.
It's like the Sunnis and the Shiites. My husband says you're a big football guy, so I thought I would get your opinion on this.
Definitely the holiday. A Monday off? That's a no-brainer.
If you can choose, do you get Monday off or you just have a regular weekend? Absolutely Monday off. Now, the real question is, would you rather move Super Bowl Sunday off of Sunday to Saturday knowing that you'll never get Monday off? So it's either keep it on Super Bowl Sunday, no Monday off, or move it to Saturday.
I'm willing to do that. I'll make the grand bargain and say yes.
I think that it's a pipe dream to say that we're going to get that Monday. You don't think it will be a little weird? No, because you've already got the greatest holiday of all time, President's Day later on that month where you get the Monday off.
True. I don't think we're going to get two Mondays off the same month.
Did you see we actually get that off this year? Yeah. It was crazy.
That's absurd. Yeah.
I saw an email. I was like, what? We've never had that.
Finally. Yeah.
Finally, we can respect the presidents. Lincoln and Washington.
And go buy a car at a great rate. You only respect two of the presidents, right? Lincoln and Washington is who you celebrate on that date.
Correct. Okay.
Buy a mattress, buy a car, get some furniture. Question for Donna.
How many steaks do you think Andy Reid could have eaten in the amount of time you spent at Media Day? Seven. It also depends on what cut.
If we're talking New York Strip, if we're talking Ribeye or Porterhouse. If it's a New York Strip, no bone, probably at least seven.
Yeah. Because we were there for, what, about a half hour? Yeah.
45, hour. Yeah.
He strikes me as a guy that goes about five, six minutes to take. That was just three different times, we said.
My question... Half hour to an hour and a half to two and a half my question is how long did pft's costume take only because i know big catches had to not sharpie his hair for a couple days that's not true so while my costume didn't look drastically different first of all we didn't get kicked out because i because of my costume we got kicked out because of our terrible credentials.
Right. They just had to wash your hair.

The pre-existing dye out of it. That was a little bit of a fucked up moment when on Sunday we put on the costumes.

Because you guys had to get made up on Sunday night to take the pictures.

Right.

And that Sunday morning before I got on the plane, I had dyed the gray out.

And then they put it back in.

But you guys can attest, I had to sit in that chair and not move for like two hours.

Now, whether it looked great or not, I don't know. But it was a long process.
Not as long as PFT is, but it was a long process. I kept the mask, by the way.
We're not cut out for that, by the way. Like, we couldn't.
The whole time, I was like, this sucks. They actually told me I was one of the best people they've ever worked with because I was able to be so focused and follow instructions in the chair.
right this will be the last one uh our donna and hyman lovers no yes they do a podcast together i'm breaking up with you at some point yes you saw you saw me grab those tits we have a complicated history yeah i mean they have a complicated history correct it was very i was trying to get to the bottom of it and there was just no it didn't it didn't quite add summer 1970 Two old people, guy and girl, hanging out, but there's no... It was very...
I was trying to get to the bottom of it, and there was just no... It didn't quite add up.
I told you the summer of 1967. Two old people, guy and girl hanging out, but there's no...
It was a summer of love. Yeah.
You don't count the people that you have sex with in the summer of love in your total number. It was a different time.
Yeah. We were only 78 that year.
Right. That's it.
All right. We'll see everyone on Friday.
Super Bowl preview. Get ready.
Our picks. We will reveal our picks.
Everyone's been waiting for them. Yeah, everyone has been waiting.
We are going to move the lines, baby. The Italian Super Bowl pick is coming up.
