Jay Cutler + The Guys Got Kicked Out Of SB Media Day

Speaker 1 Hey, pardon my take, listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.
Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Speaker 2 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 2 Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's Cookies and Cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 2 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 2 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 1 On today's part in my take, we have future Hall of Famer Jay Cutler, greatest Chicago Bear of all time, quarterback. Which Hall of Fame?

Speaker 1 The Hall of Fame of my heart. 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.

Speaker 1 I'd say

Speaker 1 it worked out well in the long run. Hot seat, Cool Throne, Bachelor Talk, Guys on Chicks, a packed show for you live from Miami.

Speaker 1 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the hole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 1 Now in the street, there is violence.

Speaker 1 And then I love the song of perfume be done.

Speaker 1 Look at the hand, I love washing

Speaker 1 and then I can't name all on the sun. Oh no, we're gonna rock down to Elite Trake Avenue

Speaker 1 And then we take it higher

Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna rock down to Elite Trick Avenue It's part of my take

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take presented by the Cash App. Go download it right now.
Put in

Speaker 1 code Barstool. You get $10 for free.
$10 to ASPCA. Today is Wednesday, January 29th,

Speaker 1 PFT. It is the last show that we're going to do when both of us are 34 years old.
That's crazy. See, you're going to be old tomorrow.
Tomorrow,

Speaker 1 you're a young whipper snapper.

Speaker 1 Yes. And then Friday, we'll both be 35.

Speaker 1 On Friday's show, we'll take Friday's show as I will be a 35-year-old, and PFT will be a little young lad at 34. That's true.

Speaker 1 Also, I'm just going to make a motion that your mid-30s doesn't start till you're 36.

Speaker 1 You're in your early 30s when you're 36.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 As long as you still play video games on a regular basis, you're not over the hill. I haven't played video games in about a year.
You got to step that up. Actually, no, that's not true.

Speaker 1 I won the Super Bowl with the Broncos. Oh, so you've been playing Madden?

Speaker 1 Yeah, 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 which uh good segue i would like for us motion to come out firmly against the coronavirus Anti-coronavirus.

Speaker 1 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 till all the facts come out?

Speaker 1 I want to wait till all the facts come out right now. We don't know.
There's a lot of disinformation out there. So

Speaker 1 I'm going to wait till all the facts come out, and I'm going to make a responsible decision at that point.

Speaker 1 So back to the Call of Duty.

Speaker 1 I'm very disappointed in the actions of the coronavirus, but I don't know if I'm going to be taking any actual steps against it.

Speaker 1 Right, so I stop 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.

Speaker 1 You're playing with people who are over the hill. Correct.
I get it. It's the over-the-hill game.
I got you. All right, so

Speaker 1 we're at the big game. Can't say the Super Bowl word.
We're at the big break. What knows about that? Super Bowl.
You know what? I'm a fucking bad boy. Super Bowl.
Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You can watch us. ParstillGold.com slash PMT.
I like Drew. He's giggling.
We have a new audience. Hank and Bubba are like so used to us that they just sit there with their faces just,

Speaker 1 whatever. Drew is laughing.
Yeah. Drew is is part of the team now.
Exactly. Liam and Bubba, or Bubba, and Hank are just like, they just go starfishing.
They're like, okay, just get it done with.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'll be able to do it. I hope you 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.

Speaker 1 All right. So we're at the Super Bowl.
We were at Media Day last night. Didn't go well.
Got kicked out. So if you didn't see the video, go watch it right now.

Speaker 1 PFT and I got hired prosthetics company to come and put us in prosthetics. Now, PFT dressed as an old lady.
I dress as an older big cat.

Speaker 1 It took hours. I was sitting in that chair for about two and a half hours on Sunday night just to get a picture taken for my fake credential.

Speaker 1 And then again on Monday afternoon for about two and a half hours and then got into wardrobe. I got diaped up, wore diapers, had to have a nice little butt going.

Speaker 1 Plus, I honestly just kind of wanted to wear diapers just to see. Oh, we knew.
Well, we asked, we're like, what do you do about bathroom jewelry?

Speaker 1 Diapers.

Speaker 1 I just thought about it. Well, 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.

Speaker 1 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 gone into the female bathroom, also strange.

Speaker 1 So I figured. I think more strange.
Yeah, probably more sports out. So I figured better safe than sorry.
Might as well wear four pairs of depends. Did not get to use the depends, unfortunately.

Speaker 1 Because, well, so we showed up. We were dressed as old people.

Speaker 1 I would say PFT's costume was a 10 out of 10. I'd say I was probably more like a five out of 10.
People were like, hey, what's up, big cat?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He was like, oh, look at it. I'm big in the elderly demographic.
I was giving him hugs.

Speaker 1 I noticed that Marlon's man was shying away from my hug a little bit. I don't think I was attractive enough of a female

Speaker 1 for him. Actually, before we left, we were waiting outside for the car to pull up.
We We were outside our hotel.

Speaker 1 I started smoking a cigarette out there to get into character, just to get into character, because I quit cigarettes.

Speaker 1 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 is this person is just very clearly a prostitute, like the most disgusting-looking prostitute.

Speaker 1 She's been through some shit in the world. I hope she's okay.

Speaker 1 And then me and Big Cat started getting into character and like yelling at people that were walking, you're walking by too fast on skateboarders,

Speaker 1 You whipper snappers and your hover craps. And there were some people that would just like stop.

Speaker 1 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 me.
They looked like they wanted a fight.

Speaker 1 It was like when a dog sees another dog, for some reason, you got under their skin. And they're like, don't make, yo, bro's trying to make a clown out of you, man.
And so we almost.

Speaker 1 We told them 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.

Speaker 1 Big Cat pulled an expert-level stunt, and he pretended, well, he actually did drop his wallet. And then all the security people were like, oh, let me help you with that security.
He made a big scene.

Speaker 1 Because he had a cane. And we get in, we walk around.
There's Marlin's man, give him a big hug. And eventually he was just like, okay, guys, get off me.

Speaker 1 And for Marlin's man to ask you to stop taking pictures with him, you have to have committed an egregious offense.

Speaker 1 In our case, it was just not looking attractive. Right.
So we go in, we get a tale almost instantly. Some guy from the NFL, like we were standing with, we were totally doing nothing illegal.

Speaker 1 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 us.

Speaker 1 So we just slowly, like elderly people, walked in circles and forced him to tail us for probably about 15 minutes.

Speaker 1 And he was clearly frustrated. We even bought him something in the old Goodfellas trick, being like, hey, thanks for tailing us, buddy.
You must be hungry. Yeah.
And then we went down. I got in.

Speaker 1 So I knew we were fucked. Not because you get in.

Speaker 1 I walked, I breathed 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.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 not blank we knew this was a big-time problem so pft

Speaker 1 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 gonna know that it's fake so they applied a little double-sided tape to the back of my credentials so it would stick to my nice, tasteful cardigan I was wearing, or excuse me, Donna was wearing.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 Why is your credential stuck to your shirt? I was like, oh, this, oh, that's a whoopsie.

Speaker 1 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 so

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 once I go higher, I get older. And I looked like I was a hard 70.
And I mean, like, I worked by the docks for a while. But it was, if I gone higher, it would have sounded like I was 90.

Speaker 1 So I'm trying to get past, and she notices the tape. And I act like it's a big mistake.
Like, oh, no,

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They just grab the credential, she just

Speaker 1 can't go anywhere.

Speaker 1 I should have just sprinted away. This is what I should have done.

Speaker 1 Uh, 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And so when she was, when she was trying to get me to show some ID, I was asking her, well, I have a Chick-fil-A card. Would you like that? I've got this.

Speaker 1 And then I randomly found that I had my old ACLU card still in my wallet, right? And so it was... You know your rights.
It was telling me my rights just there.

Speaker 1 It was like, God planned me for this moment. And I just said, am I being being detained? Am I being detained? I don't have to give you information.

Speaker 1 I would not like to be impolite, but in this circumstance, my lawyers advised me to waive, to accept my Fifth Amendment right. And so the police came over.
They escorted me out.

Speaker 1 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 creaked out by me.

Speaker 1 Also, shout out to the Miami police. They were actually very polite.
The guy that was taking me out, he was like, okay, right this way.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Actually, what happened was there was a police officer that was not involved in the situation at all that overheard me say, I'm 5'10. And she goes, there's no way in hell you're 5'10.

Speaker 1 You should have just been like, I thought you were clouds.

Speaker 1 In the video, it's in the video.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 He was like, fuck. Absolutely rose.
Credit to you for giving that to Hank. That footage.
That was a bit of a deleted footage.

Speaker 1 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 5'10.
You were never gonna allow that. Because at that time,

Speaker 1 from that moment on, I am officially 5'10. So

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 right it's very different it's very different i should have worn heels that hank did hank did say he should have worn heels that was 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 was, hey, fat ass, how's your diet going?

Speaker 1 You should be down a diet. So I panicked and just started screaming, you're beautiful, you're beautiful.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But overall, decent night. I wish we had gotten in for longer, but the NFL, they hate us.
It would have been great to get in. And you know what?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But see, now, okay, here's the thing: I know when to give up on something, and I feel like the last couple nights, or the last couple of media nights, getting escorted out, being arrested by the police.

Speaker 1 By the way, I'm definitely counting this as my third full arrest. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Counting last time's Media Night and the Dog Show. So I've been arrested.
Only been arrested three times without any handcuffs appearing. Yeah,

Speaker 1 three times in podcast form and so uh it's it's good to 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 like hologram versions of ourselves.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Or, oh,

Speaker 1 what if we get severe plastic surgery?

Speaker 1 Yeah, maybe I could get my legs lengthened. Yes.
Just for this bit. Yes.
Yeah. I'll get my legs cut off.
Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 What would be great is

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Because it's like no one would wear that if they're trying to sneak anywhere And they are probably there for a job. Although nothing really about me says safety or a job.
We could also try

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 jewelry and ripped jeans.

Speaker 1 People will automatically assume you're a music. musical artist, you're an athlete.

Speaker 1 There's a certain style that if we just spent like $5,000 on on wardrobe, people would be like, wait, okay, yeah, yeah, let them go in.

Speaker 1 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, the giant headphones with a microphone piece in front of it.

Speaker 1 That's usually good luck if you're coordinating something.

Speaker 1 What about if we slept in the building? Oh, we got there the night before. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's actually a good idea.

Speaker 1 What if we relocated the podcast to Tampa Bay where next year's Super Bowl is and got actual jobs as security? I'm down. For the next 12 months.
I would be 100% down to do that.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yep, I'm with the band, have like four guitar cases. How about the guys?

Speaker 1 This is a throwback, but actually Eddie...

Speaker 1 Barcelona Eddie had him on Dog Walk, his podcast. There was guys like probably five years ago, two Stoolies, who showed up to Lollapalooza with just a shitload of bags of ice, and they let them in.

Speaker 1 Ooh. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was maybe the best story ever. They're just like, yeah, we went backstage for Lollapalooza for the entire weekend.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Another version of that, which I executed at South by Southwest a couple years ago, you just load up a dolly with beer. Yes.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 We could find ourselves in a very precarious situation if we dressed up as EMTs.

Speaker 1 And there's an actual medical email. And then let me finish Stolen Valley.
We should go to EMT school. Okay.
And become EMTs in the Tampa, Greater Tampa area.

Speaker 1 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.
Right.

Speaker 1 And be like, he needs to be as close as possible to the team. He needs to, yeah, he needs to have a pep talk from Andy Reid.
Yeah. Or else he's going to die.
All right, well, we got ideas.

Speaker 1 We're going to do it. Next year is going to be great.

Speaker 1 This Super Bowl is kind of weird. Do you guys feel like there's not enough buzz? There's not really storylines because both teams are so likable.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 It's not like when we were in Minneapolis or Houston, people are there because they're for the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Miami is a vacation spot, so you don't know we're mixing with tourists and people here for the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 It's a bizarre feel to it.

Speaker 1 I think we need to do a quick spin zone because we gave you the Super Bowl storylines before the storylines, some of which have hit, some haven't, but we've been, there have been like no good storylines this week.

Speaker 1 So we need to just like, we need to create our own. No, the storyline is there no storylines.
That's a good one. I was going to say that it's...
Someone's going to write that.

Speaker 1 Be like, does this Super Bowl not have buzz? Or, Hank, you could write it.

Speaker 1 Does the Super Bowl need the Patriots? Ooh. Once again, I like that.
You got to bring out the Patriots before I do. No, I'm saying you should write that.

Speaker 1 This is the earthquake Super Bowl. Yeah.
Did you guys survive it? I did. Okay.
I felt it. I felt it.
No, you didn't.

Speaker 1 No, I'm just going to say I felt it because that way we have an earthquake Super Bowl. We were together when it happened and neither of us flinched.
No, I did not feel it at all.

Speaker 1 But then I'm told that there's a tsunami warning that happened, but we're up high enough to

Speaker 1 I could swim well enough. Just catch the wave.
Just body swim.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, he looks like he's Italian.

Speaker 1 The DeBartolo family, yep,

Speaker 1 Richard Sherman, Kyle Shanahan is the Irishman in this situation.

Speaker 1 George Kittle's got a vowel on his last name. It does.
George Kittle. Yeah.
George Kittle.

Speaker 1 Gregory. Yeah.
Gregory Kittle.

Speaker 1 Because I was thinking

Speaker 1 we could call it the never-ending pasta bowl. Yeah.
That would be a cool name. Butt kicker.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'll have to save the Italian Super Bowl for when there are more actual Italian teams. But I guess the Niners are a very Italian team.
Yeah, why not?

Speaker 1 So I actually went online earlier this morning, and I just looked up famous Italian athletes, and the list under football is surprisingly short.

Speaker 1 It's Dan Marino. It's Dan Marino.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And what's his name? The coach. Mariocci.
Scarnecchia. Scarneckia.

Speaker 1 Do you want to go use that as Segway as your hot seat cool thrown? It wasn't, but we can talk about it. Dante Sarnecchia, the Patriots offensive line coach, legend of the game, retired today.

Speaker 1 Hot seat? Not a hot seat. Hot seat Tom Brady.
He's coming back as the best retirement. He did nothing but great things to the Patriots, and everyone appreciates his time.

Speaker 1 Do you think this makes it more likely or less likely for Tom Brady to come back?

Speaker 1 I would say

Speaker 1 less likely. I would say less line coach.

Speaker 1 If we're doing like percentages, I would say that Dante Sarnecki retiring takes that percentage down. He's also retired before, hasn't he? Yes.
So he could still come back. Like the depreciation.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Maybe it's the Patriots starting to negate.
Or no.

Speaker 1 You got this. Go ahead.
Find your way through.

Speaker 1 Nah.

Speaker 1 No, come on. Come on.
Walk through the take.

Speaker 1 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 Sarnecki comes back and it's like

Speaker 1 I'll go back if you go back.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's exactly right. That's what I was thinking.
Okay. Stone.
100%. Patriots Super Bowl.
What's your other hot seat cool thrown? My other hot seat was us.

Speaker 1 There's high-rises being evacuated in Miami after a 7.7

Speaker 1 earthquake struck between Cuba and Jamaica.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 1 I was a little concerned about that because when I read that there were

Speaker 1 evacuated five was like immediate death. Well, yeah.
so

Speaker 1 it's um the way that

Speaker 1 the way that they measure earthquakes is crazy. It's um

Speaker 1 I think it's parabolic. I think that's the right word for it.
So like the difference between a 6.0 and a 7.0 is infinite. Is not nearly as big as the difference between a 7.0 and an 8.3.

Speaker 1 That's infinite.

Speaker 1 And the difference between like a 7 and an 8 is about the same as the difference between like an 8 and an 8.3.

Speaker 1 It's crazy. It's parabolic.
Because it goes up on on a scale, yeah, yeah, it's on a scale. I should have just said it was on a scale.

Speaker 1 But 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.

Speaker 1 This is not a high-rise. We're good.
What is a high-rise? It's definitely more than four.

Speaker 1 We're on four floors. We're fine.
Okay, we're good. Yeah.
High-rise, I think, has to be more than like. What? High-rise is 20 plus.
Yeah, no, we're fine. Okay.
This is a fucking

Speaker 1 showed building. This is a colonial,

Speaker 1 dude. We're so we're low man wins.
We're spread out. Low man survives with 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.

Speaker 1 We're going to break that wave up.

Speaker 1 Cool throne? The 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, Megan Markle. Her dad.

Speaker 1 Challenged her husband to a duel. He said, man up and fly down and see me.
Tomorrow. Good morning, Britain.
Wait, why the fuck is this guy? He's not. It's Megan Markle's dad.

Speaker 1 He's like the Larball of the Royal Family. He's always inserting himself in stuff.
They're not the Royal Family anymore now. Correct.

Speaker 1 Now

Speaker 1 this is all good now. It's just like this is just family drama.

Speaker 1 They'll always be royalists to me. I'm not going to give up the Royal Highness.
I respect happy to duel with Harry anytime.

Speaker 1 The way he's 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.

Speaker 1 He is such a LeVar Ball. I love this guy.
But duels are. I mean,

Speaker 1 that's because he's not royal anymore. Imagine if they're sad.

Speaker 1 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 royalty.

Speaker 1 That's their next job. You might as well mark that down.
That's probably going to happen at some point. Yeah, well, no, they're going to offer him.

Speaker 1 Same with like Brazzer is going to offer him and be like, hey, you want to do a porn? Cam Soda.

Speaker 1 They should do that. All right, your hot seat goes from PFT.
My hot seat is Boops. Okay.
Boops are officially on the hot seat. Leroy missed a scoop.
No, no, he would never.

Speaker 1 Michael Bloomberg, our next president, if you go based on how much he spends invading my television on Sundays,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I'm not talking about grabbing around the entire snout. I'm talking like hand inside the mouth and then going, That's a handshake to the dog.

Speaker 1 So, yes, that's why I'm putting boops on the hot seat because because I feel like that is the new, that's the new boop. Yeah.
He's just grabbing a dog's mouth and shaking it. It's like Putin.

Speaker 1 Remember that video of Putin who's just like manhandling those dogs? Yeah, he's trying to earn the Mitt Romney vote. I like that.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 My other hot seat is Cape Crusaders.

Speaker 1 So, do you know who Phoenix Jones is?

Speaker 1 Who? Phoenix Jones. She friends with Tiana Trump.
No?

Speaker 1 Who's that?

Speaker 1 Who is Phoenix Jones? Phoenix Jones is a Cape Crusader. He's a superhero.
He's one of these guys who thinks he's a superhero.

Speaker 1 The documentary they did in San Diego? This guy's from Seattle, but he's along those same lines. So he goes out, fights crime, helps feed homeless, and he dresses up in a mask, bodysuit, and a cape.

Speaker 1 Turns out he just got busted for selling MDMA out of his superhero outfit. Damn.
So it's like mask off, but his mask off. Now it makes sense why he thought he was a superhero.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because he was just tripping balls

Speaker 1 all the time. So, I, you know what? This is actually like a 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.

Speaker 1 Drug guy. My cool throne is Bill O'Brien because he just hired himself as the Texans general manager.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 if he chooses. So

Speaker 1 job for life for Bill O'Brien. Shout out.
Which you already had. Yes.
All right. My hot seat is myself.

Speaker 1 I made it all the way till Tuesday before I had to call the front desk to have them unclog my toilet. Congrats.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They're like, sir, we went and unclogged it.

Speaker 1 I think it's a snaker. I don't think they got to snake it.

Speaker 1 Like it's a big situation. I think we need a bigger boat.
Yeah, like 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,

Speaker 1 what's your dress 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 Haggandah's right across the street.

Speaker 1 I'm going scoops, scoops, scoops. Um, 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.

Speaker 1 You might have to start bringing your own toilet on these scoops. I mean, it's

Speaker 1 listen, can we get you sponsored by a toilet? It's like going to

Speaker 1 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 is.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Right, but I did that on Sunday and Monday. It's not your one.
And I felt like I was in, like, we were in a copacetic relationship. Like, I know you, you know, me, we got this.
No, turns out, no.

Speaker 1 So that's, I'm, I'm on the hot seat because I actually might, like,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 All right, my cool throne is Duke. Hey, Duke is on the cool throne.
Love to hear that. I think

Speaker 1 Wisconsin basketball is officially more hated than Duke this year. Brad Davison, up to his old tricks.
Yeah, when he did. He did a nutshot last night.
Did you see this? No. He got

Speaker 1 Iowa. It was a very close game.
The Badgers totally blew it.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And people are very mad. So I think Brad Davison has taken the mantle of most hated college basketball player this year, which usually is reserved for the whitest guy on Duke.

Speaker 1 So Duke is officially on the cool throne for this year. This year, I think.
It's a

Speaker 1 great college basketball year, so it honestly makes sense. I love him.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 People are honestly hating Brad Davison like they hated Grayson Allen. Like they have that level hate for him.

Speaker 1 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, I think.

Speaker 1 But I think that the the sport of college basketball is better when there are dicks. I like Brad Davison.
I like rooting. Let me rephrase that.

Speaker 1 Because I like women's college basketball.

Speaker 1 That's true. The sport of college basketball

Speaker 1 is better when there are assholes. Right.
Because everyone has an asshole.

Speaker 1 I like rooting for Brad Davison, 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 who hate him.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to say, I like him and I'll have his back.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 This was actually, you said afterwards, because 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.

Speaker 1 He's a great guy, and he has that sense of humor where sometimes you don't know if he's starting out to

Speaker 1 just be dull, but then he turns into sarcasm and it's very funny. He's, he is, I like him a lot.
He's very, very, very smart.

Speaker 1 And I think people 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,

Speaker 1 some stories about his career, some good times before. Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 1 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 1 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo style chicken paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 1 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Okay, here he is, Jay Cutler.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, old friend of mine.

Speaker 1 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? Smoke and Jay.

Speaker 1 Anything else? I think that's it. The sometimes confused for the bodybuilder.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 1 So if you don't know what we're talking about, go Google, do a Google image search for Jay Cutler, and you will be shocked what comes up first.

Speaker 1 I want to jump in real quick because Big Cat, when he introduced you, he dropped the F word, the friend word. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Was that over the line? Or are you guys friends? No, we're friends. Yeah, we're friends.
Yeah, okay. We're back together.
Yeah, we're back together.

Speaker 1 There was a moment where we weren't together and now we're back together.

Speaker 3 You know, sometimes you need some space. Right.

Speaker 1 Four years. Yeah.
That's fine. Yeah, exactly.
Although we texted here and there. Usually I would text Jay and then he would.
Jay does a really good thing, good job of making you feel

Speaker 1 really insecure by not texting you back until like a week later. Like even this, when we're coming to New Orleans, I texted him.
I was like, hey, we're coming to New Orleans.

Speaker 1 It's be awesome if you got you on the pod. And then he talked to our friend Steven and was like, Yeah, big cat texted me.
I'm gonna give that a few days

Speaker 1 back and then text me like it was like total mid-conversation. He's like, Cool, we should hang out.
Yeah, I like that

Speaker 1 establishes dominance.

Speaker 3 Yeah, all right, so I felt good about it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, where do you want to start? Retirement, you feeling good? Are you officially retired? Yeah, I don't, yeah, yeah, yes.

Speaker 3 So, tomorrow, I said that because I don't know if you like ever, like, there's no retirement papers, you know, like you just don't have a job anymore.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure there are retirement papers.

Speaker 3 Author, if you're under contract, I think you have to fill something out, but if you don't have a contract or if you're not on a team, it's just it's over, yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, so let's say, let's say

Speaker 1 six months from now,

Speaker 1 Sam Darnold gets mono again, Adam Gates picks up the phone. Hey, Jay, $20 million, one year, New York Jets quarterback.

Speaker 3 Gosh, that's a lot of money.

Speaker 1 That's a lot of of money. $20 million?

Speaker 3 I don't know.

Speaker 3 We'd have to have a conversation.

Speaker 1 Okay, so that sounds like half retired, half not. Thinking about playing.
Breaking news, Jay Cutler, considering playing next year for the Jets.

Speaker 3 In the case of Sam Darnold getting Mono again and them throwing a ridiculous amount of money. Yes.

Speaker 1 Okay. In all seriousness, did you ever consider, because when you were getting to the end, you're like, I'm going to walk away.

Speaker 1 Did you ever, there was always the rumor, oh, he'll go play in Nashville. Was that ever a thing? No.
Not even close? No.

Speaker 3 Never even talked to him.

Speaker 1 Did you ever think, like, I always thought you'd be like, you know what, I'm going to go and just hang out and catch a nice paycheck and be a backup maybe for a couple years and then hop in for a couple games.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I didn't, like, the backup thing never appealed to me because

Speaker 3 you just sit there and you have to do most of the work, but then you don't even get to play.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 3 So it never, it wasn't, I never wanted to do it. Okay.
So it was either playing or not playing.

Speaker 3 The only time I ever thought about going to the Titans was whenever I was going to hit free agency before I signed that big deal in Chicago.

Speaker 3 And that would have been one of the times that maybe I could have ended up there.

Speaker 1 Right. How sweet was it when you signed that big deal? It was nice.
Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 1 it was a life changer. Yeah.
I think I remember we went, you told me like right before we were out, and you were like, yeah, about to sign this deal. I was like, how many millions? Holy shit.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 You know, it just keeps going up and up and up and up. So, I mean, it is what it is.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I remember when that happened, when you were

Speaker 1 first, when you got sent to Chicago,

Speaker 1 you were pretty close to going to the Redskins, weren't you? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 3 it was

Speaker 3 because I think Jake Hamm was in that, was with Washington.

Speaker 3 So they were trying to figure out a three-way, they they were trying to find another team that I'd go to Washington, someone, I think, would take Jason, and then some picks and stuff would get sent to Denver.

Speaker 3 But that third team never materialized, so that deal is dead.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I remember I was psyching myself for that. I grew up a fan of the Redskins, they are, excuse me.
And I remember I was like, we could finally have a decent quarterback. Yeah,

Speaker 3 and Shaney was going to, he probably would have went on right away too there. So it would have been cool, but never worked out.

Speaker 1 Do you think about that sometimes, about Shanahan leaving Denver and like if what the sliding doors are? You would have been the Broncos quarterback forever if Shanahan stays there, no?

Speaker 3 I mean, you don't know, but I mean, that's the direction we were headed. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. And I mean, I've talked to Mike about it and, you know, like me and B.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 I think we had seven or eight running backs we went through that

Speaker 3 08 year.

Speaker 3 Mike was special. I mean, he was a heck of a coach.
Unbelievable.

Speaker 1 And his tanning bed in his house is pretty sick.

Speaker 1 Tony Shepley. That's true right about that.

Speaker 1 Tony said that he's got it.

Speaker 3 He doesn't know that.

Speaker 1 He did say Shanahan throws the best parties before the season starts.

Speaker 3 Oh, phenomenal. Phenomenal parties.

Speaker 1 And everyone just shows up to his house and he gives people like big screen TVs and shit.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's just to give you all kinds of stuff. And then there's like, this is back before Uber.

Speaker 3 So like there was car services that would take you wherever you wanted to go after the party um he did it right he did he did an unbelievable job with the players yeah yeah um was he your favorite coach to play for um

Speaker 3 that's a loaded question uh

Speaker 3 yeah a minute probably i mean he was he was amazing ranked the coaches you played

Speaker 1 worst but only the four worst huh four worst coaches you've ever played for a coach 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 in different like is there you always hear about the altitude Was there actually any effect throwing the ball when you get there?

Speaker 1 I thought there was.

Speaker 3 I thought you're getting five to eight yards on a throw there. And the ball just cuts.
Like,

Speaker 3 you'd go somewhere else, and if you throw like, you know, a 20-yard comeback or a deep out or something, in Denver, the ball just keeps sailing. It just keeps going.

Speaker 1 How far is the farthest you could throw, like, at your peak?

Speaker 3 I mean, Denver, probably

Speaker 3 high 70s.

Speaker 1 Rocket arm. That's sick.
Rocket arm. Did you ever just go out and just throw a ball just to see how far it went?

Speaker 3 Well, BMR used to want to have throwing competitions all the time, and he could he could legit throw it like 73.

Speaker 3 Fuck.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 that's the difference.

Speaker 1 I think you also were trying to hit me in the face as hard as you were throwing it.

Speaker 3 Well, I think that you were saying things that, like, you know, you basically could be a receiver, you could catch

Speaker 1 like we catch.

Speaker 1 Well, we have a long standing from the original that you were the first uh you 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 you 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 not he's got tiny ass booty that helps actually you said i looked good yesterday it was a lie that's what you say that's what you say to people when you first see them in the top.

Speaker 1 You look good, man. I do think the upside-down triangle body helps swimming, though.
I could be a swimmer.

Speaker 1 You're not a swimmer.

Speaker 3 I don't have to be a swimmer. Look at you.

Speaker 1 You're an anchor. Darts.
Ah, man.

Speaker 1 It is crazy. Like, even when you had the, when the clip went viral of you playing basketball, just dunking on a bunch of, like, 5-5 white boys in Indiana.

Speaker 1 And it's like, oh, yeah, these guys, they're athletes of a different caliber.

Speaker 1 Can you still dunk? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like, 100%?

Speaker 1 Like, when was the last time you dunked?

Speaker 3 I play basketball three times a week now.

Speaker 1 Really? Yeah. Like in a rec league?

Speaker 3 With some old guys that used to play at Vandy and then

Speaker 3 their high school coach near me.

Speaker 1 What's your game?

Speaker 3 More of like probably drive, slasher,

Speaker 3 you know, get some assists, some rebounds. Okay.

Speaker 1 You shoot the three?

Speaker 3 No, we've got some dudes that just light it up. It's kind of shocking how well these guys can shoot.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah. When you get like a real good shooter, you're like, okay, you just never miss.
Yeah. You play defense? Yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 Big team guy. You charge guy?

Speaker 1 No, I'm not kidding any charges.

Speaker 1 He slapped the floor for sure. 100% slapped the floor.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Do you regret not taking that gig on Fox and being like, hey, this could be me?

Speaker 3 No, because I got paid more to go do

Speaker 3 play in Miami.

Speaker 1 Yeah, good point. That year.

Speaker 1 Are you thinking about it, though? Maybe going into the booth at some point? Or is that ship sailed because

Speaker 1 they're going to be like, well, if he decides to go in the booth, he's going to go back and play or something?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to go back and play. So I think that ship sailed for sure.

Speaker 3 But going back in the booth is something I've definitely thought about and considered, and maybe some meetings coming up here soon. Ooh, okay.

Speaker 1 Okay. With who?

Speaker 1 Do you want to be your agents?

Speaker 3 No.

Speaker 1 We could do it. You think? Yes,

Speaker 1 absolutely.

Speaker 1 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 a good start yeah they would be like you want this guy my kids would think it's great yeah right so that's isn't that like the once you have like a bunch of kids it's like you're just doing it for your kids like when when uh eddie murphy makes like a bunch of you know 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 gonna you're gonna be uh incredibly honest would you okay in all honesty going to the booth yeah when everyone asked me like do you think he's gonna be good I was like if he's honest he's gonna be great do you think you would have been able to because it's always tough to criticize other guys yeah there's a fine line there I think

Speaker 3 I think you could I think 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.

Speaker 1 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 commentary be like that guy is trash right absolutely garbage who's your favorite quarterback right now oh um to watch

Speaker 1 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 i think yeah i think you're just mad because he hasn't done your pod yet.

Speaker 3 I think that's what

Speaker 1 would be part of it. But yeah, I would say if he did the pod, I would probably soften it a little.

Speaker 3 Soften the blow.

Speaker 1 And you said you're like, oh, we can get him.

Speaker 3 I think we can get them. We can try to get them.
We might not get him.

Speaker 1 I don't want to text him. Huh? Can you send me just lie to us and tell us your guy? Just like, congrats on the game.

Speaker 3 Oh, I sent it last night. You want me to just take a picture of you guys and send it to him?

Speaker 1 Yes, yes.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah. Like, do you feel like a picture? This is your best.
Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1 100%. It doesn't get me.
This is how it looks. Be like, 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.

Speaker 1 He's not taking a picture. I guarantee you that.
I guarantee I am took it.

Speaker 3 Just took a picture.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 And this is the new camera, so you guys look great.

Speaker 1 Oh, nice. I got that too.
Nice flex. You got the iPhone 10.
I already

Speaker 1 tryptophobia. I got rid of all those holes.

Speaker 1 What was the worst game? Like, when you look back and you're like, fuck, I don't miss that.

Speaker 1 The Giants game where you got sacked, I think it was nine or ten times.

Speaker 3 In the first half.

Speaker 1 It was so bad. The first half

Speaker 1 in the first half. It was so bad.

Speaker 3 It's impressive.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was crazy.

Speaker 3 It's hard to do that.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 Like, you almost have to try.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 3 Like, hey, guys, ready? Don't block him. Don't block him.

Speaker 1 Ray break.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 3 I'll give it to Mike. He had no conscience.

Speaker 3 I mean, you got to respect it. Like, and he was brilliant too.
I mean, he was, he was, he was unbelievably smart, but he went into the game and he was literally playing Madden.

Speaker 1 With human beings. Yes.

Speaker 3 With human beings. Like, it was just chess pieces.

Speaker 1 He's like, why is this not working? Let's run four verts.

Speaker 1 He's like, all right, play up A.

Speaker 1 Did you have like a conversation at halftime? You're like, hey, man, maybe like... get me a tight end to chip every now and then.

Speaker 3 Oh, he traded the tight end. Yeah, did you hear me say he had no conscience? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like he's down and up.

Speaker 3 He always thought the next play was the one.

Speaker 1 I kind of like it at it. So do I.
I mean, you gotta respect it. Yeah, just fuck it.

Speaker 1 The next play is going to be the one it hits.

Speaker 3 He told me one time,

Speaker 3 we were talking about a play and stuff, and he's like, hey, just take seven steps and just throw it right there.

Speaker 3 And I go, Mike, I don't know how I feel about that. He goes, hey, if the receiver's not there, it's not going to be your fault.

Speaker 1 I'm like, it kind of is, though.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 He's like, let's just call it and you just throw it right there and we'll just see what happens.

Speaker 1 That's awesome. And then it was probably an interception.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He hit the safety right there.

Speaker 1 Like a fuck. Like a punt.
Shit. What about the time that you yelled at him from the huddle?

Speaker 1 I think that was against the Vikings. I think it was at that game.
It's Donovan McNabb's last game, basically, or the end of his career.

Speaker 1 What happened after that when you get back in the locker room?

Speaker 3 You're like, hey, Mike was always super cool.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he was super cool. He always, he's got it.
He's like, I get it. It's tough.

Speaker 3 We're going to have disagreements.

Speaker 3 But I was cool with Mike. I really liked him.

Speaker 1 What about Mike Tice?

Speaker 3 I liked Mike Tice.

Speaker 3 We never had issues. I got in trouble at one time

Speaker 3 in Dallas.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 1 Got it. so they don't show that

Speaker 3 they didn't say that yeah yeah i mean and but i mean 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 yeah 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.

Speaker 3 It's like, well, damn, 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.

Speaker 3 Um, but then it just got to a point. I was like, I mean, this is dumb.
Like, I've got to have some sort of emotions here. I've got to be able to do what I need to do.
Right.

Speaker 3 So, I think at that point, I was like, hell with it.

Speaker 1 Let's talk about that NFC championship game real quick, even though it's bad memories.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But was it weird to have everyone be like, he could have kept on playing when it was, I mean,

Speaker 3 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

Speaker 3 part questioned, I mean, that hurt. I mean, that was tough.

Speaker 3 That was a tough one to swallow i mean to say that you know i wasn't good or you know like what anything else like i could i'm fine with that like maybe some truth to that but to say that i just didn't want to play anymore i mean

Speaker 3 and you you tried to play with the knee right yeah i can't remember what 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 um i think i threw like one ball my knee literally just like buckled and it went straight in the ground

Speaker 1 and then todd collins and and Caleb Penney.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so then they're like, I was like, well, I can't, 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,

Speaker 3 do I just stay on the sideline? Do you take me? I think now they probably take you in. And, you know,

Speaker 3 you can't just leave a lame duck sitting out, right? Right.

Speaker 1 Carson Wentz was in the locker room when he got confused. Yes.
He didn't come back. And it also didn't help that you had that big coat.

Speaker 3 Well, it was like...

Speaker 1 Three degrees. I know, but that coat, like, that was part of the...

Speaker 1 It actually was good that it wasn't like 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?

Speaker 1 You looked like three small Jay Cutlers and a trench coat, yeah, like trying to sneak into a movie. Yeah, I needed to be, I needed to be the other Jay Cutler at that point.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he would have filled it out. Yes, yeah.
So, 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.

Speaker 1 When you're mic'd up during a game, are you are you thinking about that at all?

Speaker 3 I boycotted, I boycotted mic being mic'd up. You can do that? I don't know, I did it

Speaker 1 They'd come to you and just like, nope. Yeah, they'd be like, no.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 And then once we got to that point, if we were out of it or if we were fighting for playoffs or something, I'd be like, if we were out of it, I'd be like, it doesn't even matter.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 I don't want that thing on me.

Speaker 1 This is, you know, I can't do it. Future Jay, that's actually genius.

Speaker 3 So then the next year they come back like, hey, they want to mic you up like early in the season. I'm like, ah, no.

Speaker 3 But then I got to a point where I was like, well, I think it's a safety issue now, guys.

Speaker 3 Because it's a big battery pack. And they just put it like, just tape it to the back of your shoulder pads.

Speaker 3 And I'm like, I'm getting my

Speaker 3 head knocked around out here. Now you want to put another battery on my back.

Speaker 1 Right. I don't know.

Speaker 3 I don't feel good about this. Yeah.
So then that's another way a point cut it out.

Speaker 1 I like that. I like that a lot.

Speaker 1 So can we do that?

Speaker 3 I don't don't understand why it's so big. And I also don't understand

Speaker 3 the headset situation.

Speaker 3 We can FaceTime China, but we have a hard time

Speaker 3 getting

Speaker 1 these headsets in. Yeah, these calls in.
That's true.

Speaker 3 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?

Speaker 1 Did you feel bad for Sam Darnold when he had the Seeing Ghost thing? Yeah. I'm sure you've been in that spot where everything you're looking at, you can't.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 I'm like, I'm seeing a thousand things out here, and none of them are probably legit.

Speaker 3 So I think it's just being honest, and it just got blown out of points.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's Russell Wilson, yeah. And I talked to

Speaker 3 Dow because he's in the chest. I was like, why did you guys, like, that's the situation.
Like, why did you pick that game?

Speaker 1 Right. Was it the Patriots? was it his first game back

Speaker 1 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 when you're playing miami like in miami or something 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.

Speaker 1 He's like, Hey, Jay, I went to Vanderbilt.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I don't know. Here's the thing, and I don't remember what we said on the radio.

Speaker 3 But

Speaker 3 my stance has lately, when I hear that story, is

Speaker 3 I can't say it didn't happen.

Speaker 3 I can't say it did happen either.

Speaker 1 So it sounds like you.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's the problem. Like, it 100% could be very true.

Speaker 1 So, like, hypothetically, if somebody were to say that to you at a urinal right now, your reaction might be, don't care.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like, cool, dude. It sounded much different than those.
It sounded like you really cared. Tell me more about your poli-sci degree.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 In Wrigleyville, and, you know, Saturday at 5 o'clock after we've been there for...

Speaker 3 eight hours. I mean, it's a great possibility it happens.

Speaker 1 Do you regret not going to a real SEC school?

Speaker 3 I think that Vandy's in the SEC. Oh, there?

Speaker 3 Is that questionable, too?

Speaker 1 I'll have to check. So do you think Vandy's better than every Big Ten team because they're in the SEC?

Speaker 3 At this moment, no. Over 10 years, yes.

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 3 It's a different brain of football.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You wanted to go to Notre Dame, right?

Speaker 1 And they didn't recruit you? No. That's crazy.

Speaker 3 No, they were going.

Speaker 1 They haven't recruited any.

Speaker 3 They don't really recruit right there in the Midwest that much.

Speaker 1 Which is crazy because it's like you're in Indiana. You're back in the middle.
You would think that. Where else were you considering?

Speaker 3 Purdue, but they wanted me to play safety.

Speaker 1 Okay. That's wild.
That's crazy. Illinois.
Black Brown when you've been.

Speaker 3 You're like 6'4?

Speaker 3 No, I grew in college. I was like 6'2 at this point.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 Illinois, Ron Turner was there. Okay.
And they offered me. I accept.
I committed. And then they called me like a week later and they said, you know, this kid from California, he wants to come.

Speaker 3 We want you to take the first semester off and then come in in January. I was like, well, I'm not doing that.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 3 And then Vandy called and I was like, well, I've got nothing else going on.

Speaker 1 And so when you're at Vandy.

Speaker 3 Have I never told you the story of how I ended up with Vandy?

Speaker 1 No. Oh, gosh.

Speaker 3 So it's basketball season and it's early January and I get a call. I'm in school and, you know, they did the intercom thing.
It's like, Jay Culler, come to the office. I'm like,

Speaker 3 what's happening now?

Speaker 3 Get to the office and like, hey, the AD wants to talk to you.

Speaker 3 So I go down there and he's like, hey, vandy called um

Speaker 3 they want to talk to you so you know i get on the phone with him and 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

Speaker 3 I was like, well, it's fine. I don't even play tight end.

Speaker 1 And he's like, well, who is this?

Speaker 3 And I, you know, told him my name. And he's like, hey, all right.
Well, 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.

Speaker 3 I'm like, look at him. I'm like, 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,

Speaker 3 same thing. Get down there.
He's like, hey, they're on the phone. And I talked to him.
I'm like, hey, we love the tape.

Speaker 3 We want you to come to Vandy.

Speaker 3 We have a scholarship for you, but we didn't know by the end of the day.

Speaker 3 I was like, why? He's like, well, we got these two other people.

Speaker 3 I mean, it was 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.

Speaker 1 It's crazy. You're like, you thought I was a tight end six hours ago.
Yeah, now I'm in.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 I got to, you know, figure this out. I got to 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

Speaker 3 making all those noises. And I'm like, Vandy looking at it.
Nashville. I'm like, where the hell is Nashville?

Speaker 3 Trying to figure this out. And

Speaker 3 I call my dad 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 just call him back and tell him you're going

Speaker 1 Jack was like I don't have to pay for college he's like you're going like call him back like oh what tuition is at

Speaker 1 he's like yes we accept

Speaker 1 he'll be a kicker

Speaker 3 so I did a little bit more research um whatever a 17 year old kid could do at that point um called him back i'm like all right i 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.

Speaker 1 What, at what point when you're at Vandy, were you like, oh, fuck, I'm going to be a draft pick? Like, and a high one, too?

Speaker 1 Because that, I mean, you just, you just told the story, you're a tight end one second, you're now at Vandy, and you're not, like, you, you probably weren't, I would assume, thinking, like, I'm going to be an NFL quarterback.

Speaker 3 Um,

Speaker 3 no, you know, I knew, no, I never, like, me and Stephen were talking about it yesterday. Um, like, growing up, I never watched much NFL football.
You know, it was always college football.

Speaker 3 It was more college athletics.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 But growing up, it was like, just get to college and keep playing. It was more just keep playing ball.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 3 And whatever steps happened, you know, they happened. But it was never, I don't think I was ever like, you know, I've got, I'm making the NFL.
I'm going to do this. This is going to happen.

Speaker 3 It was always just keep playing. Like, I just want to keep playing ball somewhere.

Speaker 1 So then, like, what

Speaker 3 two years? Yeah. So I think probably after

Speaker 3 my sophomore year we started getting a little bit of traction going into my junior year and I was like you know this is this is a possibility you know we got a shot here

Speaker 3 and then before my senior year I was like you know we can make a run we can do this and then when I got to the you know I did the combine and did um senior bowl and saw like what these other guys like 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.

Speaker 1 Do you look back at your draft day picture with the oversized shirt and the haircut? And you're like, oh.

Speaker 3 Oh, I felt great.

Speaker 1 You looked awesome.

Speaker 3 I crushed that day.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's 2006, so a different time.

Speaker 1 That was a hell of a draft, too, right? That was Matt Leinert

Speaker 1 this young. We now have

Speaker 1 any of those quarterbacks. All the quarterbacks.
Yeah, Leiner. Completely the triumvert.

Speaker 3 Vince and me. Yeah.
It was a good class. It was fun.
I mean, Arizona called me because they were at 10 because

Speaker 3 everyone knew that Vince was going to go to Titans.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 I think, I don't know what the rule is now, but it was basically unlimited. The Titans could bring me in because I was within so many miles.

Speaker 3 So I went down there and threw three times or so for those guys and fish. And finally, the last time,

Speaker 3 I mean, I'm literally like throwing all my football knowledge I've ever known on this board. And I'm drawing up like option plays.
I'm looking at Fish and going, like, why am I here?

Speaker 3 Like, you guys are drafting Vince. Everyone knows you're drafting Vince.
He's like, yeah, I mean, we are. We're just still in.

Speaker 1 I think he's like, I was just

Speaker 1 an owner thing, right? Yeah, it was an owner thing. Yeah, it was an owner thing.
He's like,

Speaker 1 we got to take Vince Young.

Speaker 3 But I think I remember the last time we did the board, and then we went and threw it in the bubble again. And

Speaker 3 I'd thrown at least twice there already. And

Speaker 3 I was pissed off about it because I was like, this is dumb.

Speaker 3 We're wasting everyone's time. And 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.

Speaker 1 The big cat route.

Speaker 3 The big cat route. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think a lot of people will be interested to know like how this

Speaker 1 romance 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 longtime Stoole and fan of Barstool.

Speaker 1 And I actually like, no joke, like owe a lot to Jay because back in the day when we were starting Barstool Chicago, we had like no money as a company.

Speaker 1 And I remember I said to Dave, like, we got to make this shirt. We'll put the Chicago flag with the bar with the stools.
It will sell like hotcakes. And he's like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 It was back, like, when shipping shirts took like a month. So I went and had three of them handmade and got them to Jay.
And Jay wore it at a press conference.

Speaker 1 And that was like our first big moment for Barstool Chicago.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I remember whenever Barstool was kind kind of up and rolling, and,

Speaker 3 you know, back then it was more just, you know, the written stuff with like a picture, a video, and stuff. And you really got to, I feel like you really got to feel

Speaker 3 whoever was riding, you know, their riding style and stuff. And we would always,

Speaker 3 Stephen and some of the guys, whenever Big Cat started doing it, were like,

Speaker 3 this dude's funny. Like, he gets it.

Speaker 3 And then I don't know how we,

Speaker 1 yeah, I can't remember what the exact connection. I remember I met Chewie in the halftime of a Bears game and gave him the shirts.
Yeah. And then we started hanging out from the shop.

Speaker 3 I know, but how did we first track you down?

Speaker 1 I can't remember exactly. Oh, that's a good question.
Fuck. Do you guys remember? Oh, you do?

Speaker 1 There was the guy before you. Oh, yeah, Neil.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 We brought him to your charity event. That's right, the charity event.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Because we would do your charity event every year. Yeah.
And then that started.

Speaker 1 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 olson who got you into barstall because he claims that he he it could be yeah i think we found it we i

Speaker 1 i'll give him credit we might have found it at kind of similar times but it was you and like you and greg and i'm trying to think there was maybe a couple other but like yeah 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 you guys took it and just skyrocketed.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And then Big Cat made a lot of money selling the Cutler shirts and the Marlborough cigarette shit.
The Marlborough cigarette. Did he ever give you a taste? Did he give you a testigan?

Speaker 1 That one got that desisted. That one got taken down.
The Marlborough one. That was a great shirt.

Speaker 3 I have one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you have one. I'll give you some more.
I actually think we did a limited release.

Speaker 1 We had the Dikka shirt that he wore at a press conference.

Speaker 3 That was a good one. Yeah, we were.

Speaker 1 And then we became friends. And

Speaker 1 we would hang out, you know, every probably once a month. And then

Speaker 1 and then I said I would take Andy Dalton over him.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 on ESPN 1000, and they're like, hey, can you come in and

Speaker 1 get a little bit of a film? No, no, no, no, no, no. He was like, can you do this? And I was like, it was a point in my career where it's like, you don't say no to anything.

Speaker 1 You tell me where, I'll be there. I'm doing it.

Speaker 1 I was like so sick. I pounded two Red Bulls in two day calls.
I mean, look at you now.

Speaker 3 You just wear jumpsuits and you call the show.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Like, you're just going to take Dalton over Cutler. Jay never said it.
Jay, to his credit, he never was like, fuck you, dude.

Speaker 1 It was 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.

Speaker 1 But it was always like, I mean, it was, you know, it actually taught me a important lesson, too, because it was tough.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 3 And there were some dark times.

Speaker 1 Right. And I had to, and like, I had to do, and people always said I didn't criticize you at all.
And I still had to at times.

Speaker 1 And it was like, it was a tough relationship to have at like some dark times.

Speaker 1 I think Romeo and Juliet. Yeah.
We're back. Two star-crossed lovers.
We're back. We always had a good time together.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 3 I mean, it goes in cycles.

Speaker 1 It is right, but any good relationship does, though. You're hot and you're cold.
Yeah, right. You have to enjoy the ups when they're ups.
You're right.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You brought it up a second 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 the second week in October, and this is going to get worse before it gets better.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah, we're going down 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,

Speaker 3 it's soul-crushing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 There was a couple. I mean, like the Tressman thing, and I know you've always been...

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 3 like that. I mean on paper you looked at that team.

Speaker 3 I think we were talking about it yesterday because we saw Marty.

Speaker 3 You know, you had Marty, you had Al Sean, you had B. Marsh, you had Forte.

Speaker 3 The offensive line was wasn't bad.

Speaker 3 So on paper, it looked legit.

Speaker 3 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,

Speaker 3 that were, I'm not going to say set in their ways, but,

Speaker 3 you have to be able to manage those

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 1 Do you ever, did you ever like, do you have any regrets with being the leader of a locker room and maybe not doing enough or anything during your career?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, that

Speaker 3 one was tough because I think once you lose a locker room with the way that we lost that locker room,

Speaker 3 you know, from the top down, I think

Speaker 3 it almost gets pitted, you know, the guys versus, you know, management and coaches. And

Speaker 3 to step in the middle of that, I think is really risky sometimes. Right.
Because now you're positioning yourself in a weird place.

Speaker 3 Like, who, who's back, who, who has your back and which side are you on?

Speaker 3 So you kind of almost have to

Speaker 3 pick a side. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Which, which is, which is rough. I mean, especially when, you know, everyone everyone's on the same team.
Everyone should have the same goals in mind.

Speaker 3 But

Speaker 3 the two parties see it completely different.

Speaker 3 And that's hard.

Speaker 1 When you got into the league, Plummer was the starting quarterback, right? Jake Plumber.

Speaker 1 He seems like an awesome guy. He was awesome.
He seems like a good guy to kind of learn from. But was that awkward at all?

Speaker 1 Being

Speaker 1 the guy that the franchise is paying their future on. You come in and there's an established veteran that's at you.
Yeah,

Speaker 3 it was weird,

Speaker 3 but I thought Jake handled it the best way possible. I mean, he was always, I mean, so great with me.
He was cool as hell. He helped me.
I remember the first,

Speaker 3 we came in in like May,

Speaker 3 and that's back when you just had like OTAs, and it was a little bit longer. So I think like three weeks in,

Speaker 3 he was like, hey, I'm going out of town.

Speaker 3 And that's when me and Tony were running. He was like, hey, can you guys watch my house?

Speaker 3 And looking back at it, I think it was like a test. We failed the hell out of it.
So he left.

Speaker 1 You and Tony Scheffler are like 23 years old.

Speaker 3 So we go to his house. We end up having like a huge party at his house.
Like we're in his pool. We got people everywhere.
Next morning, we're trying to clean it up. I'm like, what? Looking back,

Speaker 3 this is the dumbest thing we could have done.

Speaker 3 Just go over and don't even watch his house.

Speaker 3 I'm leaving town too, but I can't do it.

Speaker 1 It wasn't me, watch my house. It was a test.
Did you have it?

Speaker 1 It was a test. Did you have a dog that you had to let out or like plants that needed to be?

Speaker 1 He was just I don't stay. I hope he didn't have a dog.
It doesn't sound like you watched it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I don't remember that. All I remember is

Speaker 3 as soon as he said that to us,

Speaker 3 just going to tell him to be like, you're never going to guess what we have to do this weekend.

Speaker 1 And it was an awesome house. You guys broke shit trying to fix it before he gets back real quick.
Vacuuming.

Speaker 3 We got trash bags everywhere.

Speaker 1 Picking up random clothes.

Speaker 1 What about your rivalry with Phil Rivers? One of the best clips when you guys were jawing at each other on the sideline. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Have you still talked to Phil at all or anything?

Speaker 3 Um, I never really, I never, I never had Phil's numbers, I never talked to him. Um, I respect the hell out of this game.
I mean, what he's done, yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, he's a hilarious guy. That's also, that was a great answer by you because you're just like, yes, Phil Rivers is a quarterback.

Speaker 1 I respect the fact that we have the same job.

Speaker 3 He's number 17. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He has a lot of kids.

Speaker 3 He's got an army.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Because when it was you and him yelling at each other, it was amazing television because they were cutting right back and forth.

Speaker 1 I'm sure he was saying like the meanest stuff, but in the nicest language possible. Dang it, Jay.

Speaker 1 You motherfreaker.

Speaker 3 I don't think you'd say that.

Speaker 1 Gracious to Pete.

Speaker 1 Dad Gummy. Did you text back? You didn't text him.
Huh? You don't know where you texted him.

Speaker 3 I did text him. I just texted him the picture.
I didn't even put a caption on it.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They constantly talk to my girlfriend about Jack Off Christian. That's going to be, yeah, that's going to be fun.

Speaker 1 What year do you look back? Do you see the house that they bought? Yes. Yeah, he's broke now.
Yeah. Oh, my God.
Cash. Cash.
Crazy. Yes.

Speaker 3 Maybe we can do the interview there and just stay. Maybe we can help that one.

Speaker 1 Yeah. How long do you think we could live in Aaron Rodgers' house without him finding us?

Speaker 3 Weeks. Yes.
Maybe longer.

Speaker 1 That would be actually fantastic. If he just, if we just

Speaker 1 best way to get the interview so 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 we'll do do you have a pool at your your house uh yeah okay so

Speaker 1 oh yeah like four i just invited myself over and we will race okay

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 3 Yeah, you are an anchor, so you spend time sending your water.

Speaker 1 And if I lose that, we'll do an underwater race in jeans.

Speaker 1 I I won that as well at the Jaguars pool why jeans that I don't know we just did it and it was stupid but who did you race these two guys it was in the Jaguar Stadium so you know they have that pool that overlooks the field I mean I can see you not being good at swimming no I'm a good pf t right now not me

Speaker 3 not me um

Speaker 1 yeah you're not gonna you're not gonna outswim me yes i will i will outswim you no easily and if i have to what's your stroke i'll 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 It's not a real stroke.

Speaker 1 Side stroke.

Speaker 1 The dying seal?

Speaker 1 We'll do doggy paddle. We'll do breaststroke.
Not a real stroke. We'll do backstroke.
We'll do freestyle.

Speaker 1 We'll do underwater.

Speaker 3 Butterfly. What is it, a medley?

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'll do everything.

Speaker 1 I got this. I'm not worried about it.
I actually agree.

Speaker 3 Did you swim in high school? Are you on the swimming?

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no. I'm just a very good swimmer.
I agree with

Speaker 1 his theory, though, that he is better than like everyone has something that they're the best at in the world.

Speaker 3 What's that for you?

Speaker 1 Kicking. I'm a field goal kicker.
He could kick better than you. I can kick better.
Oh, easily. What's your long?

Speaker 3 What? Is that like coach or something?

Speaker 1 No, what's your longest field goal that you've ever kicked?

Speaker 1 I'm not a kicker. Yeah, no, exactly.
So I'm better than you. I don't think so.
Yeah. I can kick 47 yards.

Speaker 3 Exactly.

Speaker 1 What about 48? Nope. So

Speaker 3 I need to kick a 48-yard specialist.

Speaker 1 That's all you have to do to beat me. I'm a 47-yard specialist.

Speaker 1 Only 47 yards.

Speaker 3 I mean, it gives me a little bit of time. I think I can kick a 48-yarder.

Speaker 1 Who's the best kicker you ever played with?

Speaker 3 Not you.

Speaker 1 You haven't played with me yet. Robbie.
Robbie. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Okay, that's not an insult though that robbie gold's a better kick i i will cede that point to you if 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

Speaker 1 what under 30 yards

Speaker 1 easily i'm trying not to get back to all this week you wouldn't get blocked uh 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

Speaker 1 we got a lot of tape all right here's pft's getting up. Huh?

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right.
I want to write it. Okay.

Speaker 1 PFT's stepping back.

Speaker 3 Laces out.

Speaker 1 Here he goes.

Speaker 1 Actually, laces out isn't that big of a deal. A good kicker should be able to make it.

Speaker 1 When he laces go off to the side.

Speaker 1 That's when it really fucks you up.

Speaker 1 Boom. That was a good kick.
That looked good.

Speaker 3 I will give you guys this.

Speaker 3 Your confidence is great.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's on par.

Speaker 1 It's all about about the confidence.

Speaker 3 So it's hard for me to doubt it,

Speaker 3 but looking at you both,

Speaker 3 looking at you both,

Speaker 1 some doubt comes, creeps. I look too masculine to be a kicker, is what you're thinking.
I look like too good of an athlete.

Speaker 1 You look at us and you're like, how do these guys fail all the way upward to here?

Speaker 3 That's a great point. Yeah.
Like, you guys literally just fell off a building and landed here.

Speaker 1 Pretty much. Pretty much.
Sometimes it feels like that. You wore one shirt and then I landed here.

Speaker 1 That's pretty much the condensed version of it right there.

Speaker 1 Let's play a headline grab. Ready for this? Headline grab.
Jay Cutler gives what type of advice to Mitch Trubisky?

Speaker 1 Oh, goodness.

Speaker 1 This is a good headline grab.

Speaker 3 I don't think it's going to be good.

Speaker 1 No, it's going to be good.

Speaker 3 Don't read anything.

Speaker 1 Okay. But he's reading this right now.
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Stop reading is your advice. Mitch Trubisky.

Speaker 3 go underground here, bud.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 3 Well, you have to.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 Or, you know, 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 going on.

Speaker 1 How much does that suck to have to

Speaker 1 willfully be like told, all right, give me the bad news.

Speaker 3 Yeah, like, tell me what's going to happen. How am I about to get punched in the face right now? Right.
Fuck.

Speaker 3 And that's the problem. I think for a young guy like him and being in Chicago, it's a tough town.
Expectations were huge.

Speaker 3 So I think you watch some of his press conferences and stuff, and you could tell it really bothered him sometimes, I think.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 And whether that affects him, I don't know. I don't know how it affects him.
It has to somehow. Right.
But,

Speaker 3 you know, the more he can get away from all that stuff, I think the better for him going forward.

Speaker 1 That's a really interesting point, though, because at some, if you're the quarterback and there are all these narratives surrounding you and surrounding the team,

Speaker 1 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 hanging at it too.

Speaker 1 So you have to know what they're thinking if you want to be able to lead them effectively.

Speaker 3 Oh, absolutely. You have to know, you know, you got to know where the arrows are coming from.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 So I mean, I mean, I wouldn't go online and find this stuff, but I mean, their PR guy before a press conference, I'd be like, all right, you know, what do I need to know?

Speaker 3 You know, and he gives you the rundown, like, like you know

Speaker 1 they're saying this they're saying this they're saying this the cat said andy Dalton's better yeah the cat said andy 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

Speaker 3 I didn't hate any of them like personally

Speaker 3 you know I just felt I think it's probably still that way

Speaker 3 There's just a negative

Speaker 3 negative vibe to them, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 Like, they would much rather,

Speaker 3 I feel like they thrive whenever a season happens like that versus they go 13 and 3.

Speaker 1 The Mark Trussman clown show season when everything just fell apart. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I agree with that. There are some people in the media.
It's not everyone in the media. No, there's some people in the media who it feels like they're almost rooting for the Bears to fail.

Speaker 3 To fall apart just so that they can just write their stories and crush them.

Speaker 1 Right, because it's better to fall apart than finish eight and eight. Yeah.
Yeah. That does seem like a Jay Mariotti special.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just like once he shows up in your locker room, you know, nothing gets happened. Yes.
The wheels have fallen off.

Speaker 1 Do you have a list of people who like, even it could be National, not Chicago, but do you have a list? You don't have to say the names.

Speaker 1 Do you have a list of people you're like, oh yeah, that guy, I remember?

Speaker 3 No. I mean,

Speaker 3 I feel like there was,

Speaker 3 I don't know, I don't want to say this, but, you know, there was some of those years that were so bad that everyone was talking bad about us. So like it would be a notebook if I kept track.
Right.

Speaker 1 It would just be, oh, yeah, like an encyclopedia.

Speaker 3 Yeah, anyone that's ever written about the Bears at some point probably crushed me in them.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Did you like the Smoke and Jay Cutler stuff?

Speaker 3 I didn't mind it.

Speaker 3 We never,

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 And that was like he leaned into it by by posting, he posted a picture of him fake smoking a cigarette.

Speaker 1 And like, the internet went wild for it. It was a funny meme.
I mean, your face is perfect for.

Speaker 1 There are a lot of people who think you actually do like smoke two packs a day. I know.

Speaker 1 Have you ever smoked? No.

Speaker 3 No smoke at all.

Speaker 1 Really? No. I've never shopped a cigarette into your ass in the naked picture that got put online.
It's very funny. Why'd you do that?

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 I got to caption it, Jay Butler, and everyone thought that was funny. That's pretty good.
People laughed at that. You got that bitch.
That's pretty fucking good.

Speaker 1 I don't think I don't know, Jay Butler. Okay, you write a caption for your ass.

Speaker 3 See, that's not my thing, though, but I don't.

Speaker 1 I'm better at writing captions for your own ass than you are.

Speaker 3 That's not an athletic event.

Speaker 1 That's probably

Speaker 1 true. You don't know.
The Olympics are hurting for events.

Speaker 1 I might add that.

Speaker 1 They do, Jerry.

Speaker 3 I do want to get a team together

Speaker 3 for the Olympics. They have,

Speaker 3 I 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.

Speaker 1 Oh, you should play that. You'd be fine.

Speaker 1 That would be so sick if you started, if you like.

Speaker 1 There's a U.S.

Speaker 3 team, but like, I want to go and do that. Yes.
You should. Just throwing missiles.

Speaker 1 I think if it was you, Patrick Mahomes, and LeBron, just how many players play in handball? Like eight on a single time?

Speaker 1 So if it was you three against eight players from any other country, I think we win.

Speaker 3 I think we I guarantee we can put a team together and win gold.

Speaker 1 Yes. Guaranteed.
I I would absolutely agree with that. Yeah.
Just from pure arm speed. I don't think guys in other countries are.

Speaker 3 And just a really big guy is a goalie back then. Right.
If you watch it, I mean, I've studied this from time to time.

Speaker 1 It sounds like you're ready to go.

Speaker 3 If you've watched it, usually all these teams have an old guy that plays goalie that's just like he literally, if someone's coming, he just like just guesses and just throws his hand. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Sometimes hits the ball, sometimes doesn't.

Speaker 1 All right, so you're in for that. All right, my last question.
Seeki question, promo code take $10.

Speaker 1 Go to the the Super Bowl. We're going to run this Monday of Super Bowl week.
So you're going to lead Super Bowl week. No pressure.

Speaker 1 The

Speaker 1 van, do you still have it?

Speaker 3 We have a minivan now.

Speaker 1 So you got rid of the conversion van?

Speaker 3 And went minivan.

Speaker 1 Why? What do you do? Do you sell it? Yeah, I'll tell you why.

Speaker 3 Because the kids can get in and out themselves and buckle up themselves in their seats. In the minivan.
In the minivan.

Speaker 1 Conversion van, no.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 1 You know, you used to sell it.

Speaker 3 That van was so sweet, though. That van was sweet.
So sweet. Kristen hated it.

Speaker 1 And it had, like, it was so sweet. Wait, did she tell you to sell?

Speaker 3 No. No.
She doesn't really care that much.

Speaker 1 Oh, we should mention Verry Cavalieri's new season is out. Oh, yeah.
Yes. So you're a reality television star.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 3 I think we were at dinner last night, and

Speaker 3 like I get recognized now more just for being a reality, on a reality show than football. Like, did girls come up and they're like, hey, love you on Very Cavalier.

Speaker 1 That's so cute. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You went to the office and really took charge.

Speaker 1 You fucked those people up when you showed up as boss.

Speaker 3 In the office. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I feel bad for some of those people down there.

Speaker 1 They were so scared of you. Yeah, too.
There was a few that were like, I've been on the receiving end of that look from you.

Speaker 1 The maddest you ever were at me was when we were in Montana and we were at a house and there were, there were, so there was a, uh, like a uh you could basically tee off it was like a pitch and putt from the house to about a hundred yards away to a little green and we were playing all day drinking hitting balls to the to the uh the green and at the end of the day jay was out grilling and i was like i'm gonna help clean up and i just started fucking firing balls from the green back towards the house

Speaker 1 and i almost just scolded 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.

Speaker 1 So when I saw their look, I was like, I've been there.

Speaker 3 I've been there. It sucks.

Speaker 1 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. At least once or twice a year.
All the time.

Speaker 1 Mess up all the time. Take me back, Jay.
I mean, he's firing golf balls. That's pretty big funny.

Speaker 1 Bot three at me. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And claiming to be cleaning up.

Speaker 1 I was.

Speaker 1 Cleaning up. Everyone was helping out.
Get Adam. Some people were doing the dishes.
I was just shooting golf balls. Pick him up and put it in the bucket and bring it up here.

Speaker 1 It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, Jay, thank you.
Future quarterback of the New York Jets. Yes.
And recurring guest now. So now you have to come on anytime we ask.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So you're going to come on. When do you want to come on again?

Speaker 3 I'll be in.

Speaker 3 When are you guys going to the Super Bowl?

Speaker 1 You're going to go to Miami?

Speaker 3 Just for a couple days.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're going now that's Sunday, I think, right? Come back on. Yeah.
Are you going to come to Rough and Rowdy? We're going to be in the game Sunday? No, we're going the Sunday before. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 As Big Jay Journey, I'll be there. We're going to be there.

Speaker 3 Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or something.

Speaker 1 All right, so you're going to come rough and rowdy on Friday night. We're boxing.

Speaker 1 Somewhere in Miami? Yeah.

Speaker 3 We have a fight. Oh, didn't you guys buy that? Yeah.
How's that going?

Speaker 1 It's awesome. You want to box in it? No.
Why not?

Speaker 3 Can I box PF2?

Speaker 1 Yes. Yeah, you can.
I will set that fight up.

Speaker 1 Do you think you can beat me?

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 Kicking's allowed.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we're kicking. If we tie.

Speaker 3 We can't kickbox, obviously, because your right leg is deadly.

Speaker 1 Let's see.

Speaker 1 It's a freaking cannon down here.

Speaker 3 Do you only work out your right leg?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just do calf raises and leg extension. The whole right side of his body.

Speaker 3 You get that whole right chain.

Speaker 1 My right nut is basically down to my knee.

Speaker 1 My left one's high and tight. Yeah.
That 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.

Speaker 1 We know he might hate you. He probably does, but that's okay.
He's a bigger man.

Speaker 3 Why do you think people hate you?

Speaker 1 I've said some things. Like what? I don't know.
I've always prefaced it.

Speaker 3 What's the worst thing you've ever said? him?

Speaker 1 I've always prefaced it with he's a fantastic quarterback, Hall of Fame quarterback.

Speaker 3 What's the worst thing you've ever said about him?

Speaker 1 He's wished death on him a few times.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Not wished death.
That's not bad. It's not death.
It's more like it'd be a real shame if he got injured again. Yeah, that's kind of.

Speaker 1 It'd be a real shame if Shane McCulloch walked through that door and fucked up his shoulder again.

Speaker 1 Shane McCulloch, fucking all-time bear.

Speaker 3 Just for that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, he didn't do much else.
What else?

Speaker 1 He's got a Super Bowl ring.

Speaker 3 With the Patriots?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 i i was i was thinking about that a couple weeks ago like some of the guys that i've played with and they go to other teams and they just get rings yeah this is it's bullshit how does this happen

Speaker 3 what did i do someone some unnamed source sent me a shane mclellan like super bowl ring picture that was signed by him i will i will show you i was like he was he's a great dude yeah nicest guy ever and worked 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 that you're like how did you stumble into this?

Speaker 3 Yes. Like you guys, obviously.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right, exactly. Classic example right here.
Yeah, we love those type of guys. All right, Jay, thank you.
Cool, appreciate it.

Speaker 3 Nice to have you on.

Speaker 1 It's fun. Thank you.

Speaker 1 What's up, guys? It's Big Cat here making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey. How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 1 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 1 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt. Age four years in bourbon barrels.
Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 1 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish Apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 1 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 1 All right, let's do some segments. We have Bachelor Talk for guys that don't watch the Bachelor.
I heard our guy, Chase Rice, is in the news. I saw it.
Chase Rice was in it.

Speaker 1 The chicks in the office titled it the craziest episode of Reality TV

Speaker 1 ever. Shut up.
So it was quite

Speaker 1 quite an episode.

Speaker 1 About when Puck spat on that dude. Yep.
Or what about

Speaker 1 when David hit

Speaker 1 slapped her in the face? You're talking about Pumpkin.

Speaker 1 Or no. New York spat on Pumpkin.
Who the Puck?

Speaker 1 What about when CT tried to eat Adam's brains?

Speaker 1 That's pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 Or when he backpacked Johnny Bananas. Or what about when Hoops

Speaker 1 That's what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah, yeah.
When Pumpkins spat on Hoops. Oh, that's what I'm talking about.
Oh, no. New York.
On New York. On New York.
What about the 28-3 comeback?

Speaker 1 The NFL is the ultimate reality show. Facts.
I ruined it, dude. We were talking about I Love New York, the greatest reality show of all time.

Speaker 1 Flavor of

Speaker 1 love. Yes.
I Love New York was a spin-off. Yes.
Fucking love that show. Hoops dated Shaq.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Married, I think.
Whoa. Maybe.
Maybe. Shaq.
Now we're just throwing out allegations. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Those tabloid pictures were always hilarious.
Early ops VH1 reality television show. Oh, rock and holly.
I mean, Brett Michaels was like my hero before I realized he was so washed up.

Speaker 1 The rehab shows,

Speaker 1 he had such a good catchphrase that never really caught on. Brett Michaels just walked in a room and you go, what's the going on? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Danny Bottaducci just fucking taking vodka to the face every morning. Yeah.
He's hardcore. What about the pickup artist? Mystery.
Mystery, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, to get a girl to like you, tell her that she sucks. Maybe we'll do like a reality.

Speaker 1 You should have mystery on this show. Early 2000s reality, like watch party for shows in the summer.
We should do that. Okay.

Speaker 1 Maybe like Playmakers. Hoops and Chef not married.

Speaker 1 By the way, episode six of Playmakers Review coming out next week. Breaking Moose.

Speaker 1 Pete took Victoria France. Drew's laughing at that.
He doesn't even know what we're talking about.

Speaker 1 I love this guy. By the way, if you want to watch Drew laugh at her jokes, go check it out.
I already did that. Oh, you did? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's okay.

Speaker 1 Wanted 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 stage.

Speaker 1 Yes. I mean, our guy Chase,

Speaker 1 he's like Charles Woodson back in the day. Like, you know, two-thirds of the world's covered by water, one-third by Charles Woodson.
Chase Rice has dated like two-thirds of the world. So I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 Two-thirds of the world is covered by water. The other third is by Chase Rice's ropes.
Yes. Let's keep it classy.
He's a lover. His semen.
No, he is

Speaker 1 vocal inflection. Yes.
His calm. He's just a good dude.
Pete then took the woman on a group date to the Cleveland Browns Stadium. Oh, where they're probably there.
Most romantic place on earth.

Speaker 1 Do you think Baker's house? They played a game of tackle football coached by Josh Cribs and Hanford Dixon.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It was just like everyone was just blank face, like, we're going to Cleveland. And they're all just like, oh.

Speaker 1 I love when they do that.

Speaker 1 That's an old real-world trick when they would be like, and your trip is Argentina.

Speaker 1 And then when you're like, you're going to yugoslavia like oh shit uh and then alaya whoever you guys remember got sent home

Speaker 1 i love yugoslavia was your map from 1987 was it not yugoslav anymore no oh wow i love croatia

Speaker 1 respect croatia i was actually

Speaker 1 i actually did that on purpose so that i wasn't offending a current country Okay. Didn't want to get canceled.
Eliyah shows back up and asks people. There's a lot of fascists that lived in Yugoslavia.

Speaker 1 You guys are missing the most important part. Eliyah showed up.
She got sent home last week, so she's not on the show.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Eliyah, who got sent home last week, shows back up and asked Peter to let her come back in, and he did.

Speaker 1 The other girls in the house are pissed at Pete, and some threaten to leave.

Speaker 1 So is this an empty threat or are they actually going to bounce? I don't know. This is like a union situation.

Speaker 1 They're unionizing.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 True. I don't get that joke, but I bet you it was a good one.
Yeah, no, I was not.

Speaker 1 You've probably noticed some roses on Twitter. In the Twitter.
No, you actually probably haven't. Go ahead.
That's it. Okay.
Great. I mean, that's the worst slash best Bachelor talking about.

Speaker 1 That's a pretty good question. Remember what happened.
Awia.

Speaker 1 All right. We have a take-quake.
Imagine if all the bachelorettes walked out. It would be crazy.
Okay, yeah, I do have a take-quake. This is a good one.
So this comes to us from Kent Sterling.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He's actually turned it into a career.

Speaker 1 His new article is about the Cubs. The Cubs put up netting.
that go, I guess,

Speaker 1 all the way down the lines to protect fans from foul balls. Which makes sense because, like, kids keep getting smoked with foul balls and going to the hospital.

Speaker 1 It's like, hey, maybe we shouldn't do this. That's loser mentality.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Can I read a little bit of this article here? Sure.

Speaker 1 Sometimes it is decided that people need to be saved from their own inability to protect themselves, such as a 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.

Speaker 1 Then he goes on to say that there have been 510 fans 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.

Speaker 1 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. Well, sluggishness.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's his advice to you. And also, like, kids, I don't know if the kids are on smartphones too.

Speaker 1 But you know what he probably thinks? He probably just thinks, like, give everybody gloves. And that's the answer to it.

Speaker 1 Because he said there's also the chance young children were hit because parents prioritized sitting close to the field over the desire to protect their kids. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Maybe adults unwisely dropped 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.

Speaker 1 Whatever the case, it seems personal responsibility is taking a holiday at Wrigley and other major parts. This sucks.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And it shows Sasquatch walking in Central Park, and then, like, three people sitting on a bench looking at their phones. Banksy.

Speaker 1 That's a Banksy. You idiots.

Speaker 1 Oh, actually, here's exactly why he wrote this entire take. I just figured out what he did.
Did he get hit with a foul ball? No. His brain leaked out of his ears.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Well, my two-year-old son Ryan was perched on my shoulders. So he's basically saying he wrote this entire article

Speaker 1 to brag that parents are capable of protecting kids kids because he did it even while his kid was on his shoulder.

Speaker 1 So, maybe congratulations to Kent for writing this article about how one time he made a sick cat. Maybe this is like the old gun debate: we need to arm the teachers.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's perfect. Just give everybody else a bat to hit the ball back and go.
The ball's always live.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 truth button real quick. It's a strong.

Speaker 1 It's a strong movie

Speaker 1 under truth. I would also see the first thing under truth.
It also implies that everything else on your website isn't truth.

Speaker 1 The featured story, Chicago Cubs, will protect us. Oh, that's truth? That's under truth.

Speaker 1 Big Ten basketball is a crap shoot.

Speaker 1 That actually, as a Big Ten fan, that is very much a truth. So let's shoot craps to determine where Indiana and Purdue will finish.
Okay, I like that. So he actually brings out dice.
Perfect.

Speaker 1 Peyton Ramsey enters the transfer

Speaker 1 Indiana football.

Speaker 1 Truth. Truth.
All these are truth.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Oh, Hyman Roth. What's up, guys?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 The, no. Oh, just say that.
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.

Speaker 1 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 see.

Speaker 1 Maybe in like a speech or something.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And then the guy's going to be thinking about it the whole time. Yeah,

Speaker 1 my real answer, that's a good, very good idea. Just go to the wedding.
Or just stay in the toilet, in the bathroom while you're at the wedding.

Speaker 1 My real answer would be, no,

Speaker 1 you don't need to share it. And 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.

Speaker 1 When you run out of shit to talk about at that weird table with like the mishmmash, 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.

Speaker 1 That's like, how do you you know him oh

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 like two girls in his life and he says that like 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 sit down and no one knows, no couple knows the other couples.

Speaker 1 And you're like, okay, so they just ran out of room and they threw us all here. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He does this two to three times a day.

Speaker 1 We have sex,

Speaker 1 so that is not the issue. Is this something other guys do, or should I break up with him? Thanks.
Correct. Every guy does this.
Every guy. It's just, it's natural.
It's like combing your hair. Yep.

Speaker 1 Ever been to a dog park? Same thing.

Speaker 1 Speaking of which, Stella gets humps and tries to get humped. Like, other dogs want to hump Stella all the time.
Speaking of which, I just got distracted.

Speaker 1 She put my dog.

Speaker 1 My brother asked about the elements of provocation named Mookie.

Speaker 1 Wait, didn't they trade him?

Speaker 1 That's a good puppy name. Should I be concerned about that? I guess.

Speaker 1 I don't think he named him because he's a diehard. What if Moogie Beths is on the fucking Tampa Bay Rays next year? Or the Yankees should be like, well, yeah, this is Mookie.
Yeah, that's a good.

Speaker 1 I don't think that's. Okay, all right.
I don't think you need to justify

Speaker 1 a puppy movie. Maybe he should

Speaker 1 cover all his bases and buy a couple Mookie Blaylock jerseys just so people 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.

Speaker 1 No, I don't think it's herpes. Okay.

Speaker 1 Well, I didn't tell you which simplex. Okay.
There are two.

Speaker 1 Leroy's never humped anything or a dog. Oh.

Speaker 1 Verge. Is Leroy asexual? Verge.
He's never even tried. Well, he's probably too big.
He's too busy in the busy trying to get scoops. Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, he's married to the game. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The only thing that gets his rocket going anymore is just firing off a tweet.

Speaker 1 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 in this heated argument.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 If you can choose, do you get Monday off or you just have a regular weekend? Absolutely Monday off. Now, the real question is,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I'm willing to do that.

Speaker 1 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 off.
You don't think it will be a little weird? No, because

Speaker 1 got full Saturday. 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.

Speaker 1 I don't think we're going to get two Mondays off the 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?

Speaker 1 We've never had that. Finally.
Yeah. Finally, we can respect the president.
Lincoln and Washington. And go buy a car at a great rate.
You only respect two of the presidents, right?

Speaker 1 Lincoln and Washington is who you celebrate on that day. Correct.
Okay. Buy a mattress, buy a car, get some furniture.

Speaker 1 Question for Donna. How many steaks do you think Andy Reid could have eaten in the amount of time you spent at Media Day?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Because we were there for, what, about half hour? Yeah, 45 hour. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He strikes me as a guy that goes about five, six minutes. That was just three different times, we said.

Speaker 1 My question is.

Speaker 1 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 Bitcatch has had to not sharpie his hair for a couple days? That's not true.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They just have to wash your hair. The pre-existing dye out.
That was a little bit of a fucked up moment when on Sunday we put on the costumes.

Speaker 1 You were like, well, you guys were getting made up on Sunday night to take the pictures. Right.

Speaker 1 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 i now whether it looks great or not i don't know but it did it was a long process

Speaker 1 not as long as pft is but it was a long process

Speaker 1 i kept the mask by the way we're not cut out for that by the way like we couldn't they actually 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 all right this will be the last one uh are donna and Hyman lovers?

Speaker 1 No. Yes.
They do a podcast together. I'm breaking up with you.
At some point, yes.

Speaker 1 You saw me grab those tits. We have a complicated history.
Yeah. I mean, they have a complicated history.
Correct.

Speaker 1 It was very, I was trying to get to the bottom of it, and there was just no, it didn't, it didn't count. It's summer of 1977.
There were people, guy and girl, hanging out, but there's no.

Speaker 1 It was a summer of love. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 We are gonna move the lines, baby. The Italian Super Bowl pick is coming up.
Uh, get your bet in now because the lines are going to move.

Speaker 1 I've been saying a different pick every single show that I'm on, so that way I'll have a lot of good tape out there. Yeah, I like both teams.

Speaker 1 Love you guys.

Speaker 1 Just do fishes,

Speaker 1 Drinking the one

Speaker 1 I don't care that

Speaker 1 it's not time. I'm drinking anyway

Speaker 1 I like some reds, like some white, some rose

Speaker 1 Drink after me

Speaker 1 that you let her get drunk now

Speaker 1 Everyone's gonna hate this.
