Today is Friday, December 20th. No football on Thursday night.
It's sad, but this is sneaky one of the best football weekends of the year. Yes.
Because you've got Saturday football. Yeah.
You've got FCS playoffs. You've got Sunday football.
Bowl games. Bowl games.
The Bahamas Bowl. But PFT, we're in the here and now, and I have spent all day looking for a football game that just wasn't there.
It just hit me too quickly. I don't know where time goes.
I don't know if we want to get existential, man this decade is almost over and football Thursday night football is over and I'm fucking bummed well the decades not almost so we got another year to be that guy because there was no year zero so technically are you gonna do that 2020 I'm just doing it now to piss you off but that is a real person that exists out there that will tell you that with his fake face. No, I'm going to say see you next decade.
Okay. See you next year, Jokes.
Which means I'm just taking the entire month off. Big time back.
Although, people forget that part of my take was started on a leap day on February 29th. True.
And we have another one this year. So our little podcast is about to turn a year old.
One year. That's actually crazy.
So we need to divide all the downloads we've gotten in the last four years divided by one. We're still behind Joe Rogan.
Yeah, probably. Fuck.
Shit. So no Thursday Night Football.
That stinks. By the way, for anyone...
Oh, there we go. Nice, Hank.

A little moving some... We do a lot of stuff

in this studio. We do.
This studio, by the way.

Let's talk about that real quick. We had

Jorge Masvidal in here. Yeah.
It was an

awesome interview. I don't think he cares

because he's a fighter and he puts people in the shadow

realm, which you'll find out about. But

I realized today

that we have officially made this studio

our junk pile. It's a mess.

So we do a pretty good job

usually of being charming

I'm not going to build this squat rack. What have you done to help build the squat rack slash bench? I stood next to Stephen Shea and told him he was doing it all wrong and called him a weakling who's never been in a gym.
I've passive aggressively sighed very loud every time I have to step over it. That has to be doing something to someone.
That's true. Right? I held both sides of the squat rack up and looked at him for a while.
I was like, yep, this looks about right. lug nut over here uh-huh uh yeah but it's also just i don't know there's my corners getting a mess pft i'm gonna say something nice about your corner that big bottle of dip spit that you had for like a month is gone yeah and i don't know if it's still there somewhere but it's gone out of my sight well the big bottle dip spit that you have is you have is over there, too.
That's yours. No, that's you.

That's a Mountain Dew bottle.

That's Big Cat's.

That is not.

Big Cat came at the king, and he had.

You take.

PFT takes one sip out and then starts dipping it.

This is 100% a PFT dip spit bottle.

I don't encroach on your side.

I've never dipped in a fucking Mountain Dew bottle ever.

I would not put that on your side.

Hank, Liam, back me up.

Have you ever seen me do this? I, as a Mountain Dew person, too, get disrespected because PFT is like, yo, let me get a Mountain Dew bottle ever. I would not put that on your side.
Hank, Liam, back me up. Have you ever seen me do this?

I, as a Mountain Dew person, too, get disrespected

because PFT's like, yo, let me get a Mountain Dew.

Takes one sip of it and then starts spitting it.

You gotta make sure that your own house is in order

before you start coming out of my corner.

PFT's just pushing his dip spitting to my corner.

Very contentious right off the bat.

Just admit.

That's not mine.

Dude.

That's not mine.

Why would I put it over there?

That is literally the bottle that you use every time. You use like a full bottle and spit in it.
Absolutely not. Okay.
I got to think. You know what? You know it's yours.
That's probably from Hank's little fancy football podcast. Oh, got it.
Which none of the hoes dip on. Yeah.
I don't know about that. Just own up to it.
Big 10, definitely. It's fine.
I'm not going to be mad. It's just funny that you've moved your dip spit over here.
That's actually a smart move by you because that's where I look, so I didn't even notice that you had done that. It'll be a little Easter egg.
We'll move it around the studio. So if you have Barstool Gold, you get to track the movement of the Mountain Dew dip spit bottle.
You should have told on yourself by telling me that because I'd never turn around. It's not mine.
This is one of those things, though, Big Cat, where you set yourself up to just say something about anything. Because tomorrow, let's say we get the squat work up and we clean everything.
Then next week when we get back, you're like, well, where's all my stuff? Where's all my stuff? Well, no, I actually don't know what I have anymore because I have so much random shit everywhere. So I actually will not do that because I do not know what I have.
If you say the words, we'll get everything out of here. We'll start 2020 clean.
No. No, I like it.
I kind of like it. It's comfortable.
Let us just bitch about the mess. I know.
I just feel bad. It's something we have to do.
This is what happens when you don't have Thursday night football. You bitch about the mess.
It's a very fine line between being just kind of lovably messy and just being a slob. Yeah.
We're kind of falling over into the slob category. It's like New Year's resolution.
Luckily, none of us check each other. We're all kind of the same in that sense.
We're the exact same. falling over into the slob.
It's like none of us check each other. Like we're all kind of the same.
Yeah, exact same. It's I mean, I can't I can't believe but I can believe that PFT put his dip spit over there.
But I also am not going to do anything about it. New Year's resolution.
Everything that we bring into the studio, every item that we bring in, we have to take one item out of the studio. We've reached critical mass.
All right. So what we really need to do is put a bunch of those golf pencils right at the door.
So we can just keep taking those out and we're good. All right, let's talk about some other stuff.
Let's talk about some football. Tom Coughlin got fired.
He should have gotten fired, and he did get fired. So they were going to relieve him of his duties at the end of the year, but a bunch of news came out about how he's fining Leonard Fournette a hundred thousand dollars for sitting down TJ Yeldon a hundred thousand dollars for sitting down on the sidelines so they upped his firing up by two weeks he got fired on Coughlin time he got fired on Coughlin early it's also very funny that Tom Coughlin who is like the biggest stickler for rules of all time he all he does is basically implement rules.
He can't follow the simplest rules given by the CBA and the NFL. Well, he follows his own rules.
Right. But he follows them very, very strictly.
I've got a take on this. I think this bodes very well for the Jaguars.
I'm actually impressed with the Jaguars, and here's why. They kept all this stuff that Tom Coughlin was doing in-house.
Yeah. Like, you didn't hear Leonard Fournette.
Yeah, credit to Doug Marone. You didn't hear, like, Leonard Fournette complain about it.
Yeah, he had Jalen Ramsey get, like, a woman pregnant for 12 months. But, and he left.
And then Dante Fowler also wanted to leave. But you didn't hear anything in the news about, like, Tom Coughlin just, like, literally stealing money from his players over made-up rules that he implemented on the team.
One must ask, was Blake Bortles the glue that held the Jaguars together? Oh, for sure. I mean, that's why Ramsey wanted to go to L.A.
Yeah. And Fournette today tweeted a picture of a FaceTime with him and Blake being like, the boat is coming back.
Confirmed. And Blake, he looked great in that face.
And I'm sure that call was like, oh, thank God, Tom's finally gone. You can come back now, boat.
Do you think Fournette FaceTimes Blake more than he did talk to him because he doesn't have to smell his breath? Exactly why. Yes.
That's a smart move by him. Alright, let's talk about the weekend preview.
Some games we've got to get to. I think we've talked about this before off the air, but it's kind of crazy.
I think we've both realized that with the professional athletes that we interact with and some work here, they're big FaceTime guys. Oh, yeah.
Professional athletes are much, much more FaceTime guys than they are of text message or call guys. It's younger people and people that are attractive.
Those are FaceTime people. That's true.
Because I have never not looked horrendous in a FaceTime, and it's essentially when you FaceTime, you basically have to face all your fears because you're looking in a mirror, and you're like, I don't want to do that. I have no mirrors in my house.
I'm like a vampire. You're a vampire? Yeah, vampires can't look in mirrors.
Yeah, yeah. Black cats, too.
Like 20-year-old kids that look the best they've ever looked, looked and they're young, dumb and full of calm. They FaceTime.
Yep. If you FaceTime anyone over 30 who is not a professional athlete, you're actually an asshole.
I'm going to invent a new app. It's FaceTime, but your face is pixelated.
So you can't see. I usually put the, uh, you know, you can put the animals on top of your head and I do that, you get dressed up as a furry? No, no, you can press the button and you can basically be like a dinosaur.
On FaceTime? Yes, or a dog. I thought that was just Snapchat.
No, no, no, they have it on FaceTime now. It's awesome.
And you can like wag your tongue and it will wag its tongue. It's pretty cool.
That is cool. I'm going to try that.
All right. The weekend preview.
By the way, if you want to watch us, want to watch Jorge Masvidal, barstoolgold.com slash PMT. So we're brought to you by Nashville.
Get ready for one of the biggest parties of the summer in Music City. Barstool Nashville is hosting the Summerfest block party on Friday, May 16th and Saturday, May 17th outside of Barstool Nashville on 2nd Ave South.

And the two-day event is hosted by me, Brianna Chicken Fry, and Out and About's Joey and Pat.

Okay. Oh, my can't-lose parlay, 49ers, Saturday night, Ravens, and the Broncos.
Can't lose. Can't lose.
Yeah, none of those can lose. So this is the best Saturday I think we've ever had.
It is great. These matchups are incredible.
Because we have not only playoff implications with the Patriots and the Bills and the 49ers and the Rams, but we have Jameis Winston on a Saturday, which means shit's going to get weird. He will be throwing interceptions.
He's got no Godwin, no Evans. I'm ready for it.
My body is ready for Jameis to throw seven interceptions and three touchdowns. He is prime.
Jameis Winston, his internal clock is going to be even more messed up than it usually is, and he's got a fucked up internal clock. He's playing a full day early, and it's the early game, too.
It's the early game. So short week.
Texans linebackers should show up as Krabs. That'd be nice.
Or Mr. Krabs meme.
Mr. Krabs.
i'm gonna do that or uber drivers yeah that too yeah they should take an uber to the stadium i'm so excited for this game though because jamis is it's been a running theme this entire year he is the funniest quarterback of all time he's also a future hall of famer and one of one this game i'm gonna say going to say the Texans are going to win, but Jameis, who knows?

I'll bet on the Texans, but who knows with Jameis.

Well, I tell you what, I'm doing it.

I'm just going to bet the over.

I'm just betting for excitement.

I think this is a W-word game, PFT.

E to W.

Nope.

The wind.

Check the wind.

E to W.

I think there's supposed to be high winds.

High wind in Tampa Bay?

High winds.

So just check it. Just check it.
I'm trying to help you out. Bill's Patriots.
Hank, where are you at? This game, I asked you before the show started, it feels like this is the biggest game the Patriots have played this late in a season. No? They've been in situations.
They have the two seed. They control their own destiny.
i think it was a situation where they need to win to like get in like no no but wait hold on so they've had situations right where it's like one or two seed this is the buy or not so this feels different because if they lose this game now they have to play three games and do you trust them playing three games and two of them on the road? No, I don't, but in terms of this game, I don't think it feels different, because once the game starts, Patriots are going to start dominating, working their way down the field, controlling both sides of the ball, and it's going to feel exactly the same as it ever has. So what you just did was not answer the question, though, which is, like, this is the Patriots' most meaningful late-season game game in a long time now once the game gets started you're saying that you think the Patriots will win but I don't think I don't think I think there's been more meaningful games I don't think this one is maybe maybe it is it just feels different like this I can't remember the last to me it can't remember the last time week 16 came around and it wasn't like oh the Patriots are locked are locked into the water, the two seed.
I just really wish this game was in Buffalo. I wish.
This is dildo throwing weather out there. It's probably going to be snowy.
It's going to be windy. It's going to be cold as shit.
A little stat for the under. You ready for this? The Bills, there's been a total of 40 or lower five times this year, 4-1 on the under.
So even though it's 37 and it feels way too low, I feel like you just got to take it. Right.
And truly, it's a matchup of which team has recovered from the absence of Antonio Brown this offseason, which team has adapted from him leaving the revenge game for Antonio Brown. How about Antonio Brown tweeting the best six-round pick ever in his draft card?

Yeah.

No more white woman 2020.

Did he not realize that Tom Brady was drafted in the sixth round?

Well, no, he doesn't. He just forgot.

He doesn't.

Okay, yeah, he forgot.

He also said, here's a woe.

Isn't it weird how each word means different things?

It's true.

Yeah, it's a fact.

Well, yeah, that is a fact.

Yeah.

Yeah. That's crazy.
Except for when you say six round, that just means six rounds. That just means Tom Brady.
It means Tom. Yes.
Right. Rams 49ers is the Saturday night game.
I feel like the Rams might be cooked. It is boner Saturday.
These matchups are so good. Trademark PFT commenter.
Boner Saturday. It's Boner Saturday.
That's going to be a great night game. I think that the defense for the 49ers is going to shut them down.
Yeah. Yeah.
This is – here's something that I – no stats to back it up, but I feel like late in the season, divisional, just take all the unders. I know that sounds crazy.
I know overs are more fun, but these two teams know each other. Yeah, it's tough to beat a team twice.
It's going to be interesting to see how the 49ers bounce back from losing that heartbreaker to Young-Way Koo and the Falcons and losing that under, most importantly, last weekend. But I feel like that's an A-word game.
That's an aberration game last week. There's an aberration.
It was also the Falcons Super Bowl. I only know what that means in the context of football.
it was an aberration game last week there's an aberration it was also I only know Super Bowl I only know what that means in the context of football it was an aberration I think the 49ers are going to steamroll yeah so that one's going to be a good game and then we have a true true so Sunday's not great but guess what it's red zone and you'll have like a billion games on the Saints and Titans is going to be a good game because that has some implications. But a true loser leaves town in the Cowboys going to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The game of the week.

Joe Buck, Troy Aikman.

I have a problem.

I saw the Cowboys play last week, and I think they're going to the Super Bowl.

They were good.

I have a problem.

I have a problem.

Jerry Jones is in my head. So before we tape this podcast, I put a future bet on the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl.
There you go. And it's really good odds.
Yeah, I mean, we just saw it last week, so that's what's fresh in our mind. Also, the Eagles, though, they played well last week, too.
Are you going to say that they played well when they barely beat the Redskins? Yeah. I don't think that was playing well.
I think that was they did enough to get a win I think just like they did with the Giants the Eagles are one of those teams where it's like I believe that they can catch fire I agree with that sentiment very flammable team but they haven't played well they have not been playing well and I feel like every single guy on that team is injured and I'm sure I'll be wrong because I'm always wrong but this feels like a Cowboys ass kicking like the first time they met. I did see that Ortega Whiteside is hurt, so they're down to negative one wide receivers.
Just run the single wing. Greg Ward Jr.
and Robert Davis. Are there two healthy receivers? And Josh McCown.
Robert Davis. Okay, Greg Ward, Robert Davis.
They made those names up. If Freddie Mitchell needs to just show up at the stadium wearing a full kit, wearing the pads, and he'll probably get in the game.
Freddie, if you just wake up early enough on Sunday to get to the game on time, you'll probably get a one-day contract. Robert Davis and Greg Ward sound like names of the filler spot on Madden.
We can't get a picture for this guy. We'll just call him Robert Davis.
They sound like an undercard fight in a Saudi Arabian boxing match taking place in the prince's backyard. This is going to be for the 10th best middle weight of the world.
Either way, it's not great for the Eagles. Contender series.
I'm offended that you said the game of the week on that Sunday is going to be the Cowboys-Eagles. Well, it's technically the game of the week.
It's America's game of the week. You are showing a lot of disrespect to the Dolphins and the Bengals who are facing off.
This game should have been flexed. They should have gotten the Bears out of prime time.
I wish. It's like this is a are we sure they're historically bad game? Yeah, and you know what? Both teams are like plucky enough and have had moments where they've been close enough where I don't even know.
This is also one of those games that you have to bet on just for the inevitable Trey Wingo tweet. Like, if you bet on the Bengals, Dolphins, you got a problem.
You're a degenerate. Shut the fuck up.
It's like, actually, yeah, these are the best games. I'm going to bet on it to just stick it to you.
It's the Trey Wingo Bowl.

Yeah, also, Trey, I'm ironically watching this game on the seat of my couch.

Yeah.

What's Jim Nance handing out now?

He's handing out something.

He has the tie, but we had Gus Johnson hand out the play card.

Oh, that's right.

For this game, they should have Marv Albert announce the Dolphins-Bengals one

and then give out the – like instead of the toast picture that Nance carries around,

I'm sure Marv Albert has like a picture of how like red he wants his ass spanked

and just hand that out to Fitzpatrick for a great win.

Or a winning coach gets the ball and gag thing.

Yeah.

Or just strap it around him and have him do the post-game interview.

Here you go, young man.

Let's do some picks. Sunday Night Football doesn't need to be discussed that's going to be a shit show by the way one more note we are most people will probably be off this week we're not so sunday night we will be in the studio we're going to recap all week 16 week 17 we'll be back in the studio sunday night to recap all week 17 we'll have a best of after Christmas as well.
So you're going to get two episodes next week. You're going to get two episodes the following week because we'll probably tape a Thursday episode on January 2nd.
But we're here. We're doing it.
I'm going on vacation. You're going on vacation.
I'm excited about working next week. I'm not excited about the fact that it's Week 16.
Just hearing weeks. Right.
I know there are 17 weeks in the NFL season, but when I hear week 16, I think end of the season. Right.
I think it's over. The one thing we do have to look forward to, though, is that awesome, that beautiful score bug that they're going to put up with the happy holidays, the Christmas lights, a little bit of snow coming down.
And your NFL team-themed Santa hat.

Yes.

The fans, like some fat guy's going to be falling asleep,

and they're going to show him and have a Jets Santa hat.

And it's like, yeah, man, you got this.

Cletus is going to have a big red sack over his shoulder.

Love it.

Love it.

All right, let's do some picks.

Let's go.

Hank, why don't you give us your favorite and your underdog?

My underdog is the Raiders. Phil Rivers stinks.
Derek Carr, not that bad. I got a juicy rumor that Derek Carr wanted to take over some of the play calling at the line of scrimmage.
And John Gruden said no, hell no. And now the Raiders are going to trade Derek Carr to Chicago.
Interesting. Really? Yeah.
That is a juicy rumor. I like that.
It's literally from no one. He tweeted it at me with the text message saying he knew the Raiders security guard.
Okay. And he was right on the Khalil Mack thing.
So take him whatever you want. I do absolutely believe that part of that story where John Gruden told Derek Carter to fuck off.
Fuck off. Yeah.
Yeah. My underdog is the Lions.
Ooh. They're still fighting for Patricia.
Okay. Well, no, he's safe.
They're not really. Right.
So they're going to celebrate by winning this game outright. This is a celebration of Coach coming back.
This is going to be a Drew Locke bounce back game from the Drew Locke regression game. Yep.
PFT. Let's see.
My favorite is going to be, I got Denver plus seven at home against Detroit.

Minus seven.

Denver minus seven, yeah, at home against Detroit.

They're wearing their throwback uniforms with a helmet with the big D on them,

the giant D on them.

So, again, this is all null and void in the event of a sloater appearance

for the Detroit Lions.

I just want to make that caveat.

And then my underdog, I like Chicago. I like the Bears to win outright.
I actually think they will just to fuck with me. That's my entire logic behind this is to just give you a victory that you can't do anything with.
And then Nagy will have Club Dub open, and I'll just get very mad. I hope, listen, if the Bears win and they do Club Dub, the bears social media team better fucking tweet it and get a roasting they better bring me that tweet do club give me that

tweet all right my underdogs would be the jaguars plus seven because the falcons uh i feel like

that was that was their super bowl they won they won this is also like a it's a musical chair game

for hot seats yeah for these so whoever wins this their coach might come back next right right

Thank you. their Super Bowl.
They won it last week. This is also like a musical chair game for hot seats.

Yeah.

So whoever wins this, their coach might come back next year.

Right, right.

And then I'll take the Cowboys. Like I said, I'm so stupid, but Jerry Jones talking about how the Cowboys could win a

Super Bowl.

Sure.

Why not?

Why not us?

Hank, you're over and you're underdog.

I gave my underdog. Oh, yeah.
You're over and you're underdog. I gave my underdog.

Oh, yeah.

You're over and you're under.

You're down under.

My down under is going to be the Dolphins and the Bengals.

Okay.

And my over is going to be the Giants and the Redskins.

All right.

Is Eli playing?

I don't know.

Just add the C word in, Hank, for authenticity. Eli Manning.
Eli. Eli Manning.
Okay. Hank, or PFT, give me your over and under.
My over is Arizona-Seattle. I'm taking the big over.
I like that. 51 points.
I think it's going to be at least 80. I like that.
Two hottest coaches in football. Cliff Kingsbury, Pete Carroll with the smooth face.
His face looks like an Instagram filter. Who? Pete Carroll.
Pete Carroll? Yeah. He's wrinkly as fuck? No, he's smooth.
Are you talking about his twin? Yeah, Hank's thinking about his twin. He's thinking about his twin.
Pete got Botox. Yeah.
So he's good. And then my under, I'm taking the small under.
I'm taking Buffalo, New England. 37.
The effort. Going to be a 17-10 type game.
I like it. All right.
I'm taking the small under. I'm taking Buffalo, New England.
37. The F-A-L.

Going to be a 17-10 type game.

I like it. All right.
I'm going to piggyback on your over with the Cardinals and the Seahawks. And I have a stat for you for my under from my friend Tony Martino.
You can follow him on Twitter. Mike Tomlin.
Cleet Blakeman, yeah. Mike Tomlin, in the last five years, he is 23-4 to the under when the Steelers are favored on the road.
Okay. That seems significant.
Yeah. That seems significant.
So under 37-1⁄2 will be my play there. Okay.
That seems like a lot. I like that.
Also, trouble in paradise in the Watt household. I don't know if you've been keeping track.
I have not.

Pro Football Focus put out their ratings of defensive ends,

minimum of like 200 snaps or whatever.

TJ Watt got graded out at like .6.

I don't know what their points are called.

.6 Pro Football Focus points higher than JJ did.

So we're witnessing a torch being passed in the Watt family. Wow.
Okay. By the way, breaking moves.
Duke just lost to Wofford at home. Oh, wow.
Is Coach K all right? I don't know. Call an ambulance for Coach K.
It's an off year for college basketball. You're right.
That breaking moves was brought to you by Chalk and Milk for Real Recovery that tastes real good. Moving on.
It's an off year for college basketball. You're right.
That break of moves was brought to you by Chalk and Milk for Real Recovery. That tastes real good.
Moving on. It's an off year for college basketball.
I love it. Now, they lost to them at home if the game was only four minutes long.
All right, yeah. Wofford's up 9-7 and four minutes into the game.
But they would have lost if the game was only four minutes long, Hank. That's true.
Let my boy O'Connell cook. Actually, now it's tied.
Fuck. No, it's 9-8.

Okay. It's 9-8.
Alright.

One of my best friends growing up. I spent a lot of time watching him Oddbox.
Not enough time. Sneaky good animals.
Yo, what's up, fuckheads? This is Felipe. Fuck you, old mama.
I'm starting George Kittle. That's right.
Starting George Kittle. Greg.
Greg Kittle. Don't know if you saw the article by a good friend, Kevin Clark.
He's got a red sticker that he puts on his arm when he's playing shitty and he slaps it and it's a reset button for himself. Yeah, he thinks He's a fucking video game.
Well, I tell you what. He's a cheat code.
I'm starting that motherfucker. I'm sitting the media.
That's right. The media that killed all those fucking dinosaurs.
Fuck the media. Back in turn.
Fuck that media. Fuck the media.
Turns out that media had a little help because all the dinosaurs were sick. That media turns out was soft as your mama's meatball.
The mainstream media. That media was a fraud.
I'm sleeping. Coughlin time.
That's right. All the clocks in the Jaguars facility, first thing they did, they put them on real time.
Moved them up five minutes. That's right.
No more Coughlin time down in Jacksonville. The team's going to be playing with significant speed up.
All right. What's up, guys? It's Luca Bracci.
You might know me from Godfather when I got choked out. My stardom is the fishes.
My stardom is the fishes. It's not just sleeping with the fishes.
I'm talking about the Italian feast Christmas Eve, the seven fishes. Too many fish.
Too many fish. I love them.
I love them. Peek in my fucking mouth.
My cinnamon is J.K. Rowling.
She got canceled today. I don't know why.
She's a turf. I have no idea why.
Doesn't like transsexuals. She doesn't like the...
What? Oh, okay. All right.
My sleeper is Muppets. Spaylor football used Muppets for all their announcements on signing day.
It was creepy. It was weird, but it got the people going.
I love it. I love Big Bird.
I like the whole Jim Henson thing. Like, anything with strings on it, that's what I'm talking about.
I'm Grimmitt's Bird. Whoa.
I didn't know you had that in you. Me neither.
Do it again. I'm Grimmitt's Bird.
This is the Jacob Rowling thing is a sign that. She just said what her opinion was.
But oh, wow. Oh, got to hear both sides.
Go on. No, I don't really know that much.
Water. No, I actually I want to hear Hank explain turfs and and why they might be problematic.
I didn't even know what I just saw. J.K.
Rowling was trending, and then I saw she was canceled,

and I didn't look further because the internet moves too fast.

Hand up.

It moves too fast.

I didn't even know there was a new jackass until today.

Yeah, me neither.

It got announced yesterday.

I love jackass.

Love those guys.

Is it going to be featuring the same guys?

I hope not because they're old.

No, I think it is.

It's going to be sad.

They've taken too many shots. Is Pam going to be in it? Is it funny watching a 60-year-old get hit in the nuts? I don't know.
But yeah, that's why they did that. There's going to be some really dark undertone.
Like they don't need the prosthetics anymore. Yeah.
Someone's going to be in the hospital. We're still doing this.
Also, if it's coming out in 2021, that means they probably haven't filmed it yet. So talk about Sunday Scaries for like Pontius and Bam Margera and being like, well, got to do this again.
Got to go get hit in the nuts 500 times for people. What do you think they're like hair clipper budget is on that film? Oh, my God.
I that I'm thinking about some of the things that they're going to do. The cactus and Knoxville And Knoxville's an insane person.
They always talk about how he loves getting hurt. He laughs when he gets hurt.
What I do appreciate about the Jackass movies is you can play them for any culture in the world. Instead of doing a war or something with a country that we don't like, you should sit down with the Taliban and say, hey, watch this movie.

Everyone sits around and has a good laugh at Chris Pontius getting bit

by a snake on his dick. Right.
Watch Pontius

put on this huge

mask while Steve-O shits

down a funnel. Right.
And then he pukes

on himself. Everyone.
It's hilarious. No matter

what culture you live in, you will

laugh while watching that. Oh, man.
I'm so happy

Jackass back. And then the last thing to clean up from there.
So I read that article as well about Greg Kittle, the reset button. He actually has a reset button on his arm.
Yep. And he has a Joker tattoo that he likes to slap too.
It was so funny. He's the best.
Reading this article was great because it gave a little insight into the mind of Greg Kittle and how he decided to turn it on because he was like a soft tight end when he first started playing at Iowa and he considered himself soft his coaches considered him soft and then one day he realized here's the quote wow I get it if you just run at people they just kind of tend to get out of your way it's that simple it's perfect it's perfect and he that's what he's been doing ever since and he also gave us a lot of credit for his Canada boys. Yeah, he just does it all the time.
He thinks that he's Canadian now. I love that.
Greg Kittle being the best tight end in the league is one of the best stories of 2019. All right.
Let's get to our interview with Jorge Masvidal. Bass motherfucker alive.
I also like Greg Kittle's gray undershirt that he wears. It goes down like halfway down the bicep.
Like Patrick Ewing. Yeah, he's got a thing.
All right, so Barstool Sports, we teamed up with New Amsterdam Vodka to officially create our signature drink, the Pink Whitney. It's created by our friends the Spittin' Chicklets crew.
And it is a delicious, smooth vodka infused with fresh pink lemonade flavor. You need it right now for any of you stoolies out there who have been off the grid, who have not heard about this.
It's been sweeping the nation. I think we sold one point.
No, we can't say it. We sold a lot, a lot of Pink Whitney.
And the Pink Whitney is perfect over ice, chilled as a shot or topped off with a little club soda. Either way, keep this game changer on deck for your tailgates and watch parties this fall.
And if you can't find a bottle yet, tell those pigeons at the liquor store to get some cases in stock. It is seriously the most popular drink.
What I was about to say was a huge number that Hank said, do not say, and I'm not going to say it, but it's a huge number because that's how much people love Pink Whitney. So you need to get it and you need to tell your liquor store to get it.
And we're brought to you by our partners at New Amsterdam Vodka as the official vodka of the NHL.

They're on a mission to help find your wins all season long.

And a special extra holiday shout-out to New Amsterdam Vodka

for being a supporter of this podcast and Barstool Sports for the past year.

Plus, we did a meet-and-greet on Monday.

It was awesome to see a bunch of people out there.

That was because of New Amsterdam Vodka.

So they have been one of our favorite, favorite sponsors. So we appreciate everything they do.
And here's to 2020. And here is Jorge Masvidal.
All right, we now welcome on the baddest motherfucker alive is Jorge Masvidal. Is that cool? Does that ever get old, having people introduce you as the baddest motherfucker alive? No.
Yeah. I was trying to think about if I had any awkward scenarios, even like on first dates where the girlfriend's introducing me to the mother and she's like, Mom, this is that bad motherfucker I was telling you about.
Then you get the eyes. You're like, wait, what? Okay.
Yeah. Yeah, you know, I was trying to think of a bad scenario, but no, it hasn't got born yet.
There isn't. Yeah, you are the baddest motherfucker alive.
That's the coolest belt you can win. You won it against Nate Diaz in November.
I think most people remember that fight. It happened right here.
Happened three blocks away. So it's great to have you here.
I want to talk about a bunch of different stuff. But do you, first thing I want to actually ask is, do you actually have the belt? Is there a baddest motherfucker belt?

Oh, yeah.

It's at a safe place.

It's not in my house.

This motherfucker is just too wild in Miami.

I don't need a fucking home invasion.

Someone trying to get this belt and me having to shoot somebody in the head.

So the belt's not in my house.

It's sad somewhere nice and safe.

Right.

Where I can get to it if I need to. Because if someone, if you were leaving it at your house and they robbed it from your house,

they do become the baddest motherfucker alive. Yeah.
In a sense, yeah because you took it from me. Right, exactly.
But if you come, if that belt is at my house, besides the fact that you gotta get through the hounds first, and then I got guns and my dad's got guns The hounds. Yeah, the hounds.
What kind of hounds are we talking about? I got three hounds. Three different dogs.
And I'm not getting into detail of them because I don't want people knowing what type of poison to feed them, but I got three mean hounds. I just roll with bacon bits and sausage in my pocket.
It's just hot links. That might work for the first two waves, but the third one don't give a fuck, man.
He just don't eat your face. A scoop of peanut butter just show up.
No, the third one is a fucking killer, man. I'm like the dog whisperer, though.
I'm fairly confident I could handle your hounds, but then the bullets would be an issue for me the bullets would be an issue i'm not a bullet whisperer yeah yeah i don't know how to handle that um so you did beat the shit out of nate ds yes that was nice when you when you cut him open did you look at that cut and say like hey how many beers that that thing's looking that thing's looking pretty good yeah i would have fucked that that head. His face.
Yeah. You fucked his face other ways.
I heard a couple of terminologies. The vagina cut that he had in his face.
That's a pretty good one, man. Yeah.
So I was always wondering this. For a fight like Nate Diaz, it felt like there was no real bad blood between you guys because there was mutual respect.
Is it harder to get up for a fight where you don't actually hate the guy on the other side hate no hate doesn't really motivate me what motivates me what gets me like to train a little bit harder is a lot of times if if you dislike the guy that does help but if i'm fighting somebody that i like like nate at the time i not that i like him but i respect his skill set i i know that the reason why I respect him is because he beats up world-class individuals. He beats up fighters.
But he's not going to do it to me. So that alone is enough motivation to wake up at.
Whatever time I got to wake up at, run, diet, swim, lift weights, punch people in the face, and repeat the process as many times as it takes. Because I always appreciated that specific fight.
But it happens all the time in the fight game where two guys respect each other and they don't fake it. They're not trying to fake that there's bad beef, bad blood between them.
And I'm always wondering, could you actually get to that next level if you don't truly despise the person and want to crush them? I think certain athletes, they need it. Certain athletes want to feel like their life is on the line, their manhood is on the line, you know.

And it does help for training sessions.

Maybe you were a little beat up and you didn't want to go.

You wanted to stay home, but you were like, no, no, no.

I got to go to the gym.

I'm not losing this dude to this individual.

So it definitely helps, you know.

But I don't always need it.

You know, me personally, if I have it or I don't, it just depends on the guy.

Am I fighting a guy that comes to fight that motivates me to train?

Then I'm going to train my ass off.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And like an example of kind of going against that was the fight.

Was it last weekend?

Was that when Covington fought?

Yeah.

And so he gets knocked out, gets his jaw broken, and sprints out of the octagon.

Sprints out.

Sprints.

Runs through the whole – I'm assuming you've never done that.

You don't seem like a guy that would end a fight in that fashion.

And not crying either.

I ain't leaving that bitch crying, man.

Fuck that.

Right.

Is that something that's going to stick with him

for the rest of his career?

You're the dude that just ran out.

I don't think you could ever erase that.

Other people could, I think.

Could walk out of the cage, run out of the cage crying.

People will forgive him.

But this dude has made literally his career

because he's not a fighter.

He's made his career off bashing people, off bashing even the fans in the sport over and over, calling them Virgin, Snowflake, I don't know. Yeah, he's all hate.
You're right. And it's promoted to get a reaction out of you.
He calls us marks. Anybody that, oh, shut up, Kobe, that wasn't nice.
Oh, you're a mark. I got a reaction out of you.
So now he's mad. Triggered.
Yeah. Now he's mad.
It's true. But this dude went on social media and shut down his post so you can't post on his comments.
You can't comment on his posts. And then he started reporting people.
Oh, my God. So he's triggered.
So he's triggered himself. He's the final boss of Trigger.
He's done. Final boss of Trigger.
He is. He's done.
He's triggered himself on the internet. We're making a t-shirt and we're gonna get rich off his face yeah i mean that's you're you're absolutely right i don't think he has another move you can't if if i'm making a living of getting reactions out of people now people are like no but his jaw is broken now fuck that it's the best time to do it i think yes absolutely he would do that to you if you do you would do that to anybody and if he was just to attack the people in my weight i'd be like all right, I get it.
He's in that competitive mode for everybody he could fight. I could kind of see that relation.
But when you're attacking women, when you're attacking 125-pounders, when you're attacking heavyweights, you're just trying to get your name out there. You're a fucking joke.
You're a clown. You'll say anything for a clickbait, for a headlines.
So you deserve what happened to you. You deserve to be a fucking meme for all of eternity.

People seeing you walk out, you know.

You should beat his ass

just for fun.

If he gets on the personal side,

that could always happen.

If he was to be

in the studio right now

and he just happened

to pop his head in,

I'd be like,

yo, give me a second.

I'll be back, guys.

And I'll go take care of his ass.

It's on site with him right now.

It's always on site

with this individual.

But on the business side,

this motherfucker

doesn't deserve to be there.

He just got your jaw broken

by a guy that I'm about

to crucify in front of the world.

Yeah, he's not on your level.

I'm about to baptize Usman

I'm going to goify yeah he's not on your level i'm about to baptize usman when that fight happens and people are gonna know me and colby don't belong ever in the same cage together you know i love i love the term baptizing somebody what is what's the difference between beating somebody's ass and baptizing them i'll give you some example you get baptized you go to this uh well there's there's different baptisms let me get straight in this out okay Jesus the real Jesus baptizes you you go to heaven my brother yeah if you get somewhat unlucky and street Jesus baptizes you you're on the shadow realm my brother but you can come back a better person from the shadow realm true you can learn from that you've already people have seen it people are coming back better people have send them to the shadow realm. So you go to the shadow realm and if you do come back, you usually come back a better person.
Not everybody, but most come back a better person. Look at Ben.
Do some hard thinking. Ben came back a better person.
Ben Askren, who I wanted. Till came back a better person, man.
He's ranked at 85 now. Yeah.
So do you feel good if you baptize somebody into the shadow realm and then they come back a better person or are you like, fuck, I messed up because now they're better? If I mess up, I just, you know, refigure the formula, send them back to the shadow realm and then they come back a better person are you like fuck i messed up because now if i mess up i just you know we figured the formula send them back to the shadow realm yeah nobody and then you helped them because they have they twice yeah if they come back from the shadow realm a better person that was you're doing who else is who who can tell us what's going on when somebody's knocked the fuck out of outer space where are they right the fuck? Is consciousness still on? It's like the upside down.

I don't fucking know. It's like in Stranger Things.

I don't know exactly,

but what I do know

is I'm sending them

to the shadow realm

because I've asked questions

to some of the survivors

and they've told me

the things they've seen

and things they've experienced.

Wait, wait.

You've asked people,

I'm not going to get in detail.

How was the shadow realm

that I sent you there?

I'm not going to get in detail,

but I pull up the high levator.

Look, at minute number seven

of you snoring away

into deep space,

where were your thoughts?

What was going through?

Did you see me?

Did you see an aura of me?

Was David Bowie there?

Oh, fuck.

So you bring up Ben Askren, your knockout, your flying knee kick knockout five seconds

into the fight.

Did you work out after that?

Were you like, fuck, man.

I put in all this time and it only lasted five seconds.

I would be pissed.

Right.

Like, man, I didn't need to do all that work to just put him in the shadow around five seconds in. Twelve-week training camp every day, Monday through – it wasn't always Monday through Saturday because sometimes it would be Sunday if I was a little beat up Friday, I'd take Saturday off.
But it was a good consistent six to seven days all week just getting after, getting after, getting after. And after the five- why i was still a little hyped i was still running around the cage like just taunting him because i was like man you talk too much you should last a little long in five seconds but i wasn't that mad because i broke the record okay so but afterwards did you like let me go get a jog in because like i gotta feel it before i go to the club like i gotta get some kind of we need to put him in the corner man this guy keep me fucking in shape you gotta get some kind of sweat.
Dude, we need to put him in the corner, man. This guy will keep me fucking in shape.

You got to get some kind of sweat.

Some type of sweat, man.

That basically was an off day for you.

It was an off day.

I'm telling you, it was the warm-up literally was longer in the fight.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, for sure.

And now everybody else that you fight has to respect, like, right out of the gate, in the back of their head.

You know, every dude you're fighting is like, shit, he's about to knee me in my head. Yeah.
would have stayed on the train tracks, I would have rewired his nerves as well. I was going to go for it.
Put him there. Because I saw the beginning of that fight, it looked like you were kind of fainting at that, doing it almost like a joke.
You remember last time, but you were actually going to go through with it. If he gave me the right reads as I was approaching the move, I'd put the trigger on it.
There's no really half-assed joke in it with me. I'm really going for it now.
He moved. He recognized the move before I could execute it.
Okay, kudos to you. But if he stayed on the tracks, I would have took his head with me.
So that fight specifically, the Nate fight, Nate is a very exceptional type of fighter that he gets stronger as the rounds go on. When you're fighting someone like that where you know maybe he's not like first, second round, he's not going to give you everything he has and you've got to be ready for the war of five rounds, do you then change how you do it and like, hey, I've got to save something in the tank if we get to five rounds and he's getting stronger? That's a very interesting take on it.
This is how my mind works, especially now. Back then, I would have seen it a couple different ways.
But the more I think about it, the more I think about me. I'm sure you guys are not worried about the next radio show, who they're interviewing, what they're talking about.
You guys are worried about you, about your content, about doing whatever you're doing. So I worry about me, and I just go out there and perform.
I get in the best shape possible. There is somewhat of a strategy.
Let's circle this way. Let's kick that way.
Let's punch like this. But the rest is up to you.
Go and have fun. That's usually what the strategies are like.
So when I go out there, I don't want to think you're good in the fourth and fifth round, and I only have these first three rounds. No, I'm going to kick your ass every chance that I get because I'm just as dangerous in the fourth and fifth round i'm only thinking about me and the things that i could do you know right i try not to worry about what joe blow's doing and who he's blowing and shit like that i've always wondered this about fighters is there an element of you that that enjoys pain that enjoys getting punched or you just want to inflict as much damage on the other guy i definitely want to inflict as much damage as the other guy but me and my manager were talking because he just went to the dentist the other day and i didn't know that i was the only one that enjoyed this i don't mind going to the dentist i don't mind that pain in the gums and that i don't know why it tickles me i like it i don't know i don't know it's just a fucking weird you're one of those guys that you're you get hit in the face and you smile you're like oh yeah're like, yeah, that's okay.
That, yeah, because you get that, at least especially me, that's when you get Hulk-like mode. You get adrenaline released, you know, just a little bit of it.
And all of a sudden, everything's moving in slow motion and you don't feel nothing. You're ready to go, you know, so I love that feeling.
Damn. That's, yeah.
I wish I liked it. I can't relate whatsoever.
I hate getting punched in the face, so I'm going to go on record. Yeah, I'm not a fan of getting punched in the face, especially on TV.
So I've gotten really good at dodging them. But when I do get hit, you got the dog coming your way.
Got the dog. The hound.
What did The Rock say to you before your fight with Nate Diaz? You talked to him, right? Did he pump you up? Before the fight, we talked on the Day of the Wayans. We had a little chat.
But after the fight is when we got to talk a little bit more and he gave me some advice just on uh entertainment things that he's done things that I'm doing you know it was just a lot of good advice you know it's not every day you get to talk to The Rock you know yeah what was the advice like do a million movies with Kevin Hart and make a billion dollars like what kind of advice can The Rock give someone on entertainment um be the best like be the most electric wrestler of all time and then go and be the most electric like movie guy and be six foot seven can you can you uh be reborn be six foot seven 320 pounds right post a bunch of uh cheap meals on instagram that you don't actually eat yeah i would like to get advice from the rock on how to be better at business and just have him be like yeah so here's what you got to do you got to be in a bunch of movies you make a billion dollars and then you're

awesome you also have to be super charismatic and everyone has to love you and get a private jet

and fly your mom all over the country it's sick and be able to do backflips at like 300 and something

yes exactly yeah yes that too uh i saw also that you snuck into an ancient pyramid what was up with

that pretty cool talk about shadow realm yeah um i didn't even think that that was possible one of

Thank you. too uh i saw also that you snuck into an ancient pyramid what was up with that pretty cool talk about shadow realm yeah um i didn't even think that that was possible one of the guys that we were like oh shit look and we were talking about it jokingly like i wonder what's on these things because we were seeing there's ways and then we saw one that nobody was guarding and we could go in but there was bats in there so we didn't get that far and we went maybe like i don't know 20 30 feet there's bats very visible light so we just get bit by a bat though they become batman and then you start killing everyone i was gonna say how batman started vampire spider-man spider-man you're thinking of becoming like a vampire yeah becoming dracula essentially yeah and then you're the best fighter suck everybody's blood it's just as long as you fight at night though right that's a good point unless you're the day walker.
Ooh. Don't fuck with those guys.
Yeah. We could do that too.
Conor McGregor wants to fight you. Yeah.
Yeah. What do you think about him? I want to rearrange his face.
I wouldn't mind. Mm-hmm.
I wouldn't mind collecting a nice check and whooping his ass because that's a bad motherfucker. You know, take nothing from the man.
He's got two belts at 145 pounds, 155 pounds. Not easy weights to to win at and both times that he won the belt it was just unquestioned it was no opposition no no no fighting really it was just he went in and did what he wanted and came home with the belt so i would definitely like the fighter man what about uh you think there's any problem with the fact that like you might be too young for him because i i saw that video where he he just punched an old guy.
Do you think maybe you're too young to fight him now? He's more of like a 60-plus division. Yeah, yeah, like in the 50 to like 72 range.
Yeah, guys at bars. No, and at bars he's undefeated.
So if I got to start the fight hype at a bar, go to his nearby bar and challenge him. That would be good.
Start drinking some Jameson in his face. No, we don't drink no Jameson.
I drink Mascow, man. Mascow, so nice.
He'll offer you his Irish whiskey and just say no, and then it's on. Yeah.
That's what triggered the last fight, right? Yeah. Some 70-year-old didn't want to get hammered.
I'm not going to drink my whiskey? How dare you? Yeah. That's just respect.
Fight is on. So you say- Connor, I'm not going to drink your whiskey.
Actually, in Ireland, legally, that's how you start a fight it's like a duel slapping somebody in the face and i don't it's like i'm not gonna get drunk with you yeah yeah exactly yeah no thanks what uh let me just say this on neighborhood connor i will not drink your whiskey i refuse to drink your whiskey on the record okay that's a fight that's an official i will drink your whiskey if you pay for us to do a promo deal. Yes.
Connor, I have drank your whiskey before because you gave money to my company. Mm-hmm.
And I can be bought and sold. Yes.
Because, again, I don't like getting punched in the face. Jorge, if you want to give us money, we will drink your mezcal.
Do you even have a mezcal? Sounds doable. Yeah, I do have a mez I do have a Mezcal.
It's coming to America in January.

Okay, well, you talk to us or, yeah, just talk to us directly.

Just give us cash and we will be like.

Cash works?

Yeah, cash is king.

Cash is king. Cash is king.

I don't know.

A lot of people like that fucking credit card shit, paper trail.

I'd rather cash.

Yeah, cash.

How much cash you got on you?

Right now?

Yeah.

I can't say a lot of people listening, man.

No one's listening right now. Nobody's listening right now.
It's recorded. now? Yeah.
I can't say a lot of people listening, man. No one's listening right now.

Nobody's listening right now.

It's recorded.

Well, shit.

I don't know.

I got just under the legal limit.

I'm getting mean looks from his guys.

Like, don't say it.

Don't say it.

Don't fucking say it.

Who's the most famous person on your cell phone?

Most famous person on my cell phone?

Yeah.

The Rock.

Fucking.

Stugats.

Stugats, man. Yeah.
Stugatz. Oh, Khabib? The Game.
The Game. The Game? You talking about Triple H? Oh.
Rapper, The Game. Oh, okay.
That's what I meant. I was going to say The Rapper.
One of my exes was a prom queen. Oh, yeah? That's pretty famous.
You're a winner there. In Miami, so she's got to be somewhat famous, right? That's true.
That's hotter than anywhere else in the world. Miami's the hottest city in America.
Do you think that Miami they have the most attractive people there? Yeah, in some aspects, yeah, for sure, because we got summer year-round, right? So while girls take that little break, I don't need to go to the gym that much because it's winter. Our girls are down there it you know yeah but uh every place has beautiful places you know i've been spoiled obviously because i'm from miami we also got a lot of the models and the tourists that come by and the women that say they're year-round in shape but i love new york too though yeah i've always wondered in miami when you're just walking around do you ever see like a brazzers camera crew just hanging out on the sidewalk yeah i know i know bang.
I know. Bang, bust.
You accidentally. They know me.
They know me well. Oh, shit.
Okay. I have one last question.
Seeky question. Promo code take.
Go see Jorge's next fight. When is your next fight? We're working on it.
Hopefully by January 18th. Okay.
We'll have a date set. A date set after January 18th.
All right. So when you save up and use SeekGeek, promo code TAKE and go see Jorge beat the shit out of someone, put him in the shadow realm.
What's your street fighting record? I got a lot of street fights. You grew up street fighting, right? Damn right.
So would you take any L's or were you mostly wins? I never been knocked out. Okay.
I never gave up. That's a win.
I did take some beatings and then guys gave up because they got tired and I kept punching them in the face. I always felt like I fucking won.
Much like the Ray fight it happens a lot like that. We're going, you're going, you're going and one guy does not give a fuck.
You see this one guy is just, you're going to have to kill me or I'm going to keep coming at you. You lost on the scorecard, but you didn't win with heart.
Yeah. No, and in the street, you just go until somebody gives up.

So in the fight game in the street, I've never lost to an opponent.

That's pretty badass.

Maybe like 15, 16 fights.

Yeah.

That's more badass than the badass motherfucker belt.

Thank you, Sean.

Yeah.

Have you ever had somebody that you beat in a street fight come back from the shadow realm to be like, thank you.

You taught me a lesson.

Yeah.

Actually, fuck yeah.

Yeah.

Many of people, you know.

How fast do you choke us out?

Thank you. street fight come back from the shadow realm to be like thank you you taught me a lesson yeah actually fuck yeah yeah many of people you know how fast do you choke us out everyone choke out yeah the four of us or strike should just choke because chokes take a little longer i gotta set it in i gotta wait two three seconds but if we're talking strikes what do you weigh uh 220 30 190 Yeah, you guys got about 38 seconds to live in.
38 seconds.

All right, so six of us are now in here. Uh-huh.
Take your guys out of here. Yeah, obviously they're with me.
No, they leave. No, no, no, they leave, and it's like, Jorge, you got to get out the door, and we're going to try to stop you.
Wait, who's going to try to stop me? How many guys? There's six of us. Right here.
Camera guy included. Camera guy included.
One, two, three, four, five, six. How long does it take? You guys better pray real hard.
And if you don't believe in God, you better find God. I'll say hello to God in the shadow realm.
Ain't enough of you in here. You want me to take anything? You want me to send a message when you put me in the shadow realm? You want me to tell no.
If anything, take your camera with you so people can know about it. When you come back, you show them.
It'd be like contact. You get back, and it's $18 of static that you have to testify for Congress.
They just show up, and they're like, why are you here? It's like, well, we were interviewing Jorge, and shit got a little heated. Jorge, send another one here.
They're familiar with you. Just checking in.
Just saying hello. Happy holidays.
You know, the whole thing. All right.
Well, Jorge, thank you so much good luck next fight let us know we're Jorge guys now thank you guys man now I had to come onto the show for you guys we were supposed to have Nate Diaz on the show before the fight but he cancelled because he missed his flight oh so not only am I but now you like a second choice no no no we didn't know you were an option before the fight I'm like, what do you call the Second hand guy, I'm JV No, no, no After I whooped his ass They're like, alright, you're a guy Hank's a big Nate Diaz guy And I was telling Hank Yeah, he looks like a Nate Diaz He's got too much cam on He's got too much cam on That's a Nate Diaz Where did I I was telling Hank, I was like, Hank. Yeah, he looks like a Nate Diaz.
He's got too much cam on. He gave me a hat.

He's got too much fucking cam on.

Big Cat gave me a hat. I never wore that hat.

That's your hat.

Is he from the East Coast?

I never wore that hat.

I never wore that.

You're from here, from New York, and you're cheering for Nate, man.

Yeah, I never.

I'm from Massachusetts.

But he gave me a hat.

I never wore that hat.

No, Hank Simard.

Big Cat gave me this hat.

I was like, Nate Diaz, I want you to wear it because we want Nate Diaz.

This is what I'm going to say.

This is what I'm going to say.

Jorge, listen.

You have a shadow realm.

We have a shadow realm with guests. Nate Diaz is in our shadow realmz.
This is what I'm going to say. This is what I'm going to say.
Jorge, listen. You have a Shadow Realm.
We have a Shadow Realm with guests.

Nate Diaz is in our Shadow Realm now.

Makes sense.

I'm baptized.

Gone.

Damn, the baptizers.

Until he comes back and he's like, hey.

The baptizers of radio world.

Until he comes back with a lot of weed and he's like, you guys want to smoke.

Then we'll let him out of the Shadow Realm.

You want to know another little secret?

Yeah.

I got more weed than him.

Really?

Of course, man.

Baddest motherfucker you have to.

You beat him again.

Yeah.

Damn it.

I'm scar-facing this bitch.

Fuck.

Oh, man.

Thanks so much.

Thanks for smoking bull out of a leaf blower tomorrow.

That'll be nice.

That interview with Jorge Masvidal was brought to you by Mountain Dew.

This NBA season, Mountain Dew is all about the threes.

It's the shot that has changed the game of basketball. I love shooting threes.
I'm pretty wet from downtown. As you can see if you watched our video that we put out for Mountain Dew where we did a three-point contest, Big Cat came in first place.
Thank you, second. I scored 100 points, which also would have been a record had Big Cat not set a record at the same time.
Correct. I had 100 points in my three-point shootout, and then Hank, I think, was disqualified or something like that.
But Mountain Dew is the beverage that challenges people to pursue their passions. They've aligned themselves with the most badass shot in the game, pushing boundaries, taking hoops culture to the limit.
As you can see in the studio, we love Mountain Dew. There are just bottles of it laying around everywhere here because I can't help but drink down some of that sweet, sweet nectar before I get started podcasting.
I love Mountain Dew. They are teaming up with us.
They're teaming up with the NBA. It's all about the threes with Mountain Dew.
This podcast and that interview is brought to you by Mountain Dew, the official beverage of the NBA. Do the Dew.
And here's to 2020. Ooh, I like that.
I improv that at the end. I just like saying here's to things because it's like cheers.
Alright, we're going to wrap it up quickly here. We got a Fyre Fest.
We got FAQs. Just another reminder if you missed it, but we will have a show on Sunday night.
We will have week 16. We'll have'll have week 17 we're live reactions we're not going to miss a week of the football season not for you so make sure you download and re-download and also go up to your like parents and download on their phones we'll put we'll we will make the graphic we forgot i kind of forgot about it till right now but we will make the graphic stocking stuffer give the gift of part of my take this yes this christmas yes we'll tweet that out put it on instagram today but make sure the the holiday shows you do extra downloads because we're coming in for you people on sunday night sunday night we would have come in anyway because we're pretty much addicted to football uh fire fest so my fire fest this is your last of the year it is my last of the year uh earlier today we're talking here next week just another because here big cat do you want do you want to do yours mine might have something to do with you no oh are you sure yeah yeah go ahead you sure yeah sure go ahead go ahead i would like you to go no no i don't want to go ahead why because i want you go go ahead i want you please nope as as all right my fire fest is hank't go first.
All right. My Fire Fest.
Big Cat, we were talking about jumpsuits earlier today. Oh, yeah.
That's my Fire Fest. He was talking about how stressed he was about jumpsuit January.
Yes. So I decided to get, since we give each other presents on this podcast, I went out.
Yeah. All the time.
Oh, shit. I didn't get you anything.
I gave you guys all the flu. I got you guys some gifts.
Whoa. You got us jumpsuits? When did you go out and do this? Wow, Hank, that's really nice.
Wait. Nope.
Switcheroo. It doesn't matter.
We'll just wear whichever one. When did you go out and do this? Now, Hank, did you use your own money on this? Of course.
Great wrapping. Do you have money? He got me an Adidas jumpsuit.
Oh, this looks sick, Hank. Thank you.
A green one. Green is my least favorite color.
Oh, he got me a... Wait, that one's way nicer than mine.
Thanks, Hank. This is cool.
Oh, this one's actually sick. But, Big Cat, if you look at the jacket of that second one, you will notice that the person at the store forgot to take off the metal thing.
So I can't... No, no, not the button.
Oh. It's on there still somewhere.
So you gave me... Wait, let me see yours.
Hank stole these. So you got PFT a better one.
This one says... That's literally the same exact one.
No, mine's... I look like a traffic cone, so my anxiety is not doing better.
This is a traffic cone. I like this one.
It says 1940 on it, which is probably going to be the score of the Chiefs. Damn against the...
Thank you, right. So I guess I'll talk about my FireFest.
And then this, oh, really cool. Like Run DMC purple.
Those are nice. Go Dukes.
I appreciate it. I have severe anxiety about Jumpsuit January.
And this is obviously a problem that people will scoff at because not everyone can wear a jumpsuit all week, all month. But my problem is I need to buy new jumpsuits.
PFT is changing. Oh, nice me undies.
Thank you. T-Rex.
You look like a four-year-old. Barstool Gold.
I mean, I do too. I'm going to take off my pants.
That's just the size of my penis. So, yeah, I'm very nervous about Jumpsuit January because I like a specific style, the tight jogger style pants and the tight sweatshirt, and I can't find it anywhere.
And I'm nervous about everything. And this is basically the lamest problem ever.
I'm very excited about Jumpsuit January. It's my favorite month of the year.
Me too. It's my favorite month of the year as well.
And when Big Cat was talking negatively, I felt so bad that I wanted to help your stress, and apparently I didn't. In this macho world we live in, it's okay for men to talk about their mental health.
That's true. Hank, these are great because these are the joggers.
You like jumpsuit January because you do jumpsuit January all year. That's my style.
In fact, I was thinking maybe. It's basically a feature.
I really enjoyed last year. i started to like wearing the suits so i might do formal fridays during jumpsuit january this year so yeah that's my fire fest and also i'm not excited for this bears game it fucking sucks it's i've done a double like roller coaster of a week where it's like i was over it now i'm bad again and the packers are gonna fuck savage ad they're bad they're frauds um my fire fest of the week is i dyed my facial hair And it looks like shit Yeah So that's tough That was definitely why It looks like shit Yeah absolutely It looked great until I dyed it And I sat down with Erica today To do like a little review thing Miss Erica Miss Erica I sat down with Miss Erica today And she just She looked at me And she goes What's wrong with your face? And that's always a good thing to hear I kind of felt bad yesterday because I was like, oh, are you doing a bit or something? Well, I did.
I was like, oh, what? Because the first time you did it, it was like a joke, like a ha-ha, like I'm going to dye my facial hair. So I was like, oh, you're doing like this must be for a reason.
It was. It was on the radio.
I did it live on the radio. So it was totally a bit and not at all because my facial hair grows into blonde.
It was just for laughs. And it looks like shit.
And I look like I'm Joe Dirt's gardener. And I went up to someone.
Can you wash it out? You look like the rookie on a Stanley Cup team and everyone's like, ugh. So I won the Stanley Cup? No, you just got to the third round.
Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah, that's what the Capitals do. So it looks awful and I forget that it looks awful.
And last night after the company Christmas party, I went to a little after party at a new bar. At the hotel lobby? Booze guy.
Yeah, booze guy. There was this group of like 60 to 70-year-old women that were there dancing.
They go on this like- Guilf guy. They go out twice a year, and they go dancing as a group, and they looked lonely.
And I went up to them, and I was going to like talking to them and maybe to do like an old-fashioned square dance thing with them or something like that and then the woman turned and she looked at me and she got like the shocked look on her face it's like well i guess i can't even hit on 70 year old women now wait what are you what if she was just a huge awl and she's like you don't have sunglasses on that's probably what that was what it was wait that can't be pft his facial hair looks great and he's not wearing sunglasses what are you gonna do so i think i'm gonna shave it or i'm gonna either i think either that or just dye it like a more ridiculous i gotta lean in right now i'm in no man's land where you can't tell if i'm looking shitty on purpose or not yet it just looks bad so i either have to go way overboard and make it look awful you know what i might do i might just go straight mustache you're going for the holidays you're gonna have to talk to every single person and they know you better than anyone they're gonna be like why is your facial hair so dark when you never have in your entire life so maybe i'll just go mustache tomorrow just for a day just for fun that'll look great um it looks like it you know what it does look like, actually? If Malcolm Gladwell's head was super glued to my upper lip.

Anyways, so my fire fest is I'm a bad looking person right now.

It was the hair dye.

It was the hair dye.

That's all that it is.

All right, should we do FAQs?

Let's do it.

Hey, PMT, best holiday game memory, football, NFL bowl game, basketball,

or any other sports during the holidays?

Big Cat's going to go to Cheez-It Bowl.

Are you doing Christmas Unders again? Oh, I always do Christmas Unders. Got to go Christmas Unders, although it's hot on the holidays.
Big Cat's going to go to Cheez-It Bowl. Are you doing Christmas Unders again?

Oh, I always do Christmas Unders.

Got to go Christmas Unders, although it's hot on the block.

Right.

It's been hot on the block for a few years.

But I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

It's just the first game, right?

No, first three games.

Well, first game, if you want to do first game, and then if you win, just walk away.

But you could do first three games, and if you win, walk away.

I have to look and see when the games are being played, too.

But, yeah, Christmas Unders, always. Cheez-It Bowl, great time.
Although they fucked up this year. There's teams that score.
So it's not fun. My favorite Christmas time sports memory was buying my grandparents $90 seats to go see a Redskins game.
Because they had never been to a football game before. And they were big fans of the team.
So I spent $90 on each seat, and then I met up with them after the game, and they said that they couldn't see anything because their seats were directly behind giant cement pillars. So they didn't actually get to watch the game.
Thanks, Dan Snyder. Yep.
That was a great time. Dick, he is the Grinch.
Sell the team, Dan. He is the Grinch.
I know it's early, but Jeff Fisher has to be the lead favorite for best chemistry takey. Every time you interview that man, the chemistry between you guys is off the charts.
Given whereupon mock draft season, who would be on each of your mock draft boards for best interview chemistry you've had? Blake Griffin is always up there. All the Blakes, really.
I mean, Adam Sandler. That guy's the coolest guy in the world.
Yeah, Adam's our best friend. I'm convinced about that.
He wink at you i saw that he cupped my balls uh lindsey vaughn i thought that dan marino yeah oh man dan marino hated us jesus christ i hope we interview him again this super bowl he's not gonna doesn't yeah no and we just do it all again yeah like we do the song and dance we actually should listen get the transcript and just ask the exact same questions get to the OJ question, and be like, all right, are we done? My other sneaky answer on pure chemistry, though, would be Rothstein. That was like an interview with a guy where the chemistry came together and it made it a much better interview.
I forgot to tell you guys, John Rothstein gave me a call today. I was on radio, so I didn't pick up, but he left me a voice message.
He said, thank you for having his back and to wish both of you guys and you, Bubba, happy holidays. That's very nice.
We say Merry Christmas now, by the way. Merry Christmas.
Merry holidays. You're allowed to say it now without being arrested.
Thanks, John. Very cool.
What's up, Fit Cat? My boss talks about CrossFit every day for about 20 minutes and is trying to convince me to join his gym.

Any tips on how to say no without having him hate me?

Thanks.

I think he's talking about church.

Just go once and pull something and sue him.

Yeah, no, you will.

So you're good.

Just tell him this.

Tell him you're doing your own wads,

and he'll be like, oh, cool, bro.

There's workout of the day.

What's the girl name?

Like Shirley or whatever?

That's a type of workout? No, there's Shirley. No, there's different workouts of the day.
What's the girl name? Like Shirley or whatever? That's a type of workout?

No, there's Shirley.

No, there's different workouts.

Thrusters.

No, no, no.

They're actually named Rabdo.

And it's like squats.

What is his name?

The best part about CrossFit is that they named a life-threatening condition after a clown

and called it Uncle Rabdo.

And if your kidneys aren't processing your muscle fibers, you're working hard enough ask him what his friend or what his uh murph time is that's what it was yeah i love bosses that that try to bring you into their side hustle like so they can be a boss of you and something besides your real job yes like i i when i worked at a gym back in high school my boss tried to get me to her like AdvoCare pyramid scheme, whatever thing it was. And that was tough to say no to because it's a pyramid scheme and I could make a shitload of money.
All I have to do is sign up for other people. Correct.
And then I'm getting a cut of that revenue. Yes.
I like that though. You're right.
Hey, it's not enough for me to boss here. Let me be the boss somewhere else.

I'm your boss in all facets of life.

My mom doesn't take It's the Holidays as a good excuse to be drunk all day on Christmas with the whole family over.

Boo.

What should I say this year?

Take her man card.

What inevitably happens.

Boo.

I'm drunk, mom.

Deal with it is one that usually goes over well.

Just say you have a stressful job and this is your only time to let off some steam one, if you get drunk on eggnog you're not actually drunk you're in the holiday spirit you're just feeling very cheery so you can't technically get drunk off eggnog or red wine around the holidays yeah, and if you keep switching it then you can kind of stay off like what not to do is get a 30 pack of bud light and drink all 30 beers drink a few bud lights then switch to wine then switch to whiskey that way you keep them off the trail they don't know what you're doing also just talk a lot of politics and then once you start talking a lot of politics around your family they'll just you were drunk instead. Also, just whip out your bong and be like, would you rather me do this? That's not a bad idea.
Yeah. How come my brain with marijuana? How come New Year's Day doesn't always fall on a Wednesday slash Thursday? Whose idea was it to switch the day every year and keep us guessing as to whether we could parlay New Year's into a long weekend? Oh, man.
The Romans. This is the best New Year's Christmas Day combo ever.
Oh, yeah.

It is.

Wednesday.

The Wednesday.

I mean, Thursday is pretty good, too.

But, man, this is awesome.

We feel so cheated when you get to Saturday or Sunday.

Yep.

Which, by the way, just as a heads up, it is coming.

Eventually, we'll be on Saturday or Sunday.

That's a huge trust problem.

What are you doing?

Because it's a leap year, do we skip all the way to Friday next year so next let me see consult the calendar next fuck January let's see boo it is a Friday New Year's Day is a Friday which is not that's not bad no but that means Saturday the next year and Sunday the next year let's not jump ahead to 20 we probably won't alive in 2020. And then there's a leap year again.
Robots will have defeated us all. And we'll be on their binary system of calendars.
Embrace this because the Wednesday is the best. Last one.
We'll end with a light one. Sup, boys, especially South Shore boy Hank.
What is the best way to bring up impeachment around the family these holidays I you know most families I think are they tend to be in lockstep about political issues right yeah I would say the immediate family but the extended family I'd say no no right not extended I'm saying like Christmas your parents extended once the once the aunts and uncles and the cousins, it gets dicey. How does your kid feel about impeachment? He is actually not.
He has not released a statement yet. So kind of a coward.
How to speak to your child about impeachment. Yeah.
It's been a tough couple days in my house. He's a bootlicker.
I mean, you would expect him to at least say something positive or negative at this point using his platform two days all i'm saying is i'm very

very glad that people have woken up and decided to kick out that red-faced son of a bitch tom

coughlin there we go perfect ending all right we'll see everyone on sunday night i don't mean

that tom coughlin i love. And I love you guys.
