Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take presented by the Cash App. Use hashtag Super Bad Beats Monday.
We're giving away $25,000 in cash on Cyber Monday.

Speaker 1 Next Monday, you got to listen to the ad for all the details. Today is

Speaker 1 Monday, November 25th, week 12.

Speaker 1 We start in Western New York where Josh Allen Iverson was palming the ball with his giant hands, crossing up the Broncos all afternoon long in a touching tribute to future Hall of Famer Frank Gore.

Speaker 1 The Bills were goreing the Denver defense in the running of the balls as Frank was tea-bagging the opponent, dragging his nuts into the third all-time NFL rushing list.

Speaker 1 As for the other side of the ball, it's clear Brandon Walker Allen has shoved into the starting role too soon, pushing the Broncos further up the draft board for 2020. Verbal meme, Tege.

Speaker 1 No one, absolutely no one, not a soul. And then the Buffalo Bills, colon, circles the wagons.
Bills 20. Broncos 3.
What? What?

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Let's kick it to my good friend Trey Wingo, who is in the house, which is filled with rich mahogany for the Bears Giants game.

Speaker 1 It was Mitch of Palooza by the lake on Sunday as the Bears were keeping it old school, featuring a sub-park quarterback and an elite defense.

Speaker 1 Pat Shermer is in a giant glass case of emotion as Giants fans aren't even mad. They're impressed how bad he's coached this team.
Daniel Jones told his teammates, remain calm.

Speaker 1 We've got to keep our composure as he hooked up with stay golden ponyboy Tate for a late score. The Giants couldn't sniff out a win in four quarters because I hear that Bears can smell their periods.

Speaker 1 And you're not my boy Blue today. Hey, Trey, are Daniel Jones and Eli Manning brothers? No.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Bears 19, Giants 14. And Diarrhea Town where the Steelers met the Bengals and Mike Tomlin told Mason Ramsey Rudolph: if you ain't got no giddy, then giddy out my way.

Speaker 1 As the big face quarterback was benched in the third quarter, in relief came Devlin Hodges, who threw Gordon Bombays to his receivers, making the Bengals secondary look like it was smoking quack.

Speaker 1 Tyler the Creator Boyd was a fucking walking paradox with 100 yards receiving on the Bengals, otherwise anemic offense that looks poised for an odd future.

Speaker 1 Can the Steelers catch Tomlinsanity down the stretch? Steelers 16. Bengals 10.

Speaker 1 Some spread.

Speaker 1 Down to the big breezy, where the Saints offense look highly caffeinated again, led by a tall glass of Mountain Drew.

Speaker 1 Michael Dave Thomas put up a junior bacon double 50 burger in receiving yards, and the grill was Jared cooking up the burgers all afternoon as a tight end added 100 and a score himself.

Speaker 1 The Panthers offense was no pussycats either, as they got a late John Travolta from Christian Slater McCaffrey, who caught a couple broken arrows.

Speaker 1 The game came down to kickers though, as Carolina's Joey, what don't you sigh? Looked like he was a member of the Pooh Pooh Balls as Will Triple Lutz nailed the landing to cap off the win.

Speaker 1 Saints go marching 34, 31.

Speaker 1 In the meadowlands where the

Speaker 1 Raiders tried to town the Jets, Derek Carr drove his car into a Brian Poole. No offense to my personal friend, Keith Moon, R.I.P.

Speaker 1 As Oakland left their offense offense in a black hole, Robbie Louis Anderson got fat off the Raiders' secondary, eating a large plate of gangrene eggs and Sam. Darnold, that is.

Speaker 1 John Gruden tried to wash this loss down with a long-necked bottle of Mike's hard Glenonade as the Raiders were truly, thanks to Truly for being a sponsor that bad. Jets 34.

Speaker 1 Raiders 3.

Speaker 1 In and on a corner, Jameis Winston, Tampa, Florida. Such a fine sight to see.

Speaker 1 It's hot seat, Dan Quinn. Can't stop, Godwin.
Ain't a vase catching TDs.

Speaker 1 You're in the end

Speaker 1 zone. Mercedes-Benz dome.

Speaker 1 And the media's got James Derangement Syndrome.

Speaker 1 Bucks 35, Falcons 22. We weren't really in two teams.
In Row John, Maryland, where the Lions faced off against the Redskins amidst a massive sell-the-team protest in the stance.

Speaker 1 And Dwayne Wade Haskins brought the heat, but it got his ass chewed out in the post-game locker room for taking picks and not throwing them.

Speaker 1 Bo Chicks Dig Scarborough has had another big day, and Logan Paul Thomas hung out in the Suicide Forest, also known as the Redskins End Zone.

Speaker 1 All we are is Dustin DeWin Hopkins kicked a game winner, and Jeffrey Dahmer Driscoll asked, Can a ball out as he murdered the last of the Lions season's corpse? Redskins 16, the Lions 13.

Speaker 5 Every winter, between the months of October through March, thousands of dolphins are confined and brutally killed in small towns across Japan.

Speaker 5 Sounding rods beneath the water's surface interfere with the dolphin sonar. Once disoriented and enclosed within the nets, the dolphins panic.

Speaker 5 Mothers and babies call out in distress as they are separated, hoisted up, and dragged off, soon to be mercilessly hacked to death.

Speaker 1 Dolphins 24. Browns 41.
In Philadelphia, where Carson, all I do is wince, wince, wince, was in a lot of tea pain as the Eagles' offensive line didn't hold up for their franchise quarterback.

Speaker 1 Franchise quarterback, boom.

Speaker 1 Rashad Penny Hardaway caught Pete Carroll's eye as they bonded over their love of giving improper benefits. It's not so Doug Funny Peterson in Philadelphia right now as the Eagles have the beats.

Speaker 1 Seahawks 17, Eagles 9. Hey, cut down.

Speaker 1 Mike!

Speaker 1 We finished in the Great White North, the breakup, as the Hamilton Tigercats had a friendly meetup with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Speaker 1 Three different quarterbacks led the Blue Bombers to 222 yards passing. That's what I call a duh-duh-duh.
Giving the Blue Bombers an extra pop on the way to a victory.

Speaker 1 It feels like 1990 in the peg as Mike O'Shea Can UC outfilled Hamilton head coach Orlando, Canada Steinhauer, leading the double beats to their first Great Cup championship in three decades.

Speaker 1 Blue Bombers 33, Tiger Cats 12 are in Canada. 33 Roses to 12 Rooses.
All right. Week 12 in the books.
We have Monday night, actually. Yeah, we do have a big game.
I always say that, though.

Speaker 1 You know, it feels good. That's just bonus football.
Yeah, we watch football all day, and it feels like we accomplished something by the end of the week. So week 12.

Speaker 1 I was going to say the worst part about the season ending isn't the fact that we don't have next Sunday to look forward to. It's that when the Monday night games stop.

Speaker 1 That's a tough pill to swallow. Yes, and it always coincides with the bowl games stopping, too.
What do I do on Monday nights now? Yeah, you got nothing to look for. Big Monday.
That's true.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Big Monday is. You always got Big Monday.
And then the championship game in college football is on the 13th. You always got Big Monday.

Speaker 1 Okay, so you can watch us, by the way, barstallgold.com slash PMT. We are live right now.

Speaker 1 Let's start, as we always do, with the Sunday night game, and then we will work backwards.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to say the F-word, but I did say this on Friday, that I'm going to continue to consider the Packers semi-F words

Speaker 1 because their defense is not for real, and their offense does this thing where you now have two cases of it, the Chargers game and this game.

Speaker 1 So it's basically just West Coast where they looked atrocious. They looked so bad.
Right. Aaron Rodgers sucks on the West Coast.
I was running the numbers on him.

Speaker 1 I think he's something like one in five in the last 10 years on the West Coast.

Speaker 1 Or in California. He's a Cali boy.
He goes home. He gets too comfortable.
Here's the problem, PFT.

Speaker 1 It looks like the 49ers are the best team in the NFC, which I think everyone's been kind of flirting with for the last, for the whole season. But it really is kind of cemented the last few weeks.

Speaker 1 And then if there's, you want to say maybe there's a team that could be challenging them for that. Oh, it's the Seahawks.
Guess what? Both those teams play on the West Coast.

Speaker 1 So the Packers want to go to the Super Bowl. You got to go to the West Coast.
It looks like that. We can't help but flirt with the 49ers when Jimmy's playing.

Speaker 1 That smile. The defense.
You know what Kyle Shannon figured out that it seems pretty easy to put your quarterback in a position to win? It's just run a lot of bootlegs. Run a shit a lot.

Speaker 1 Every single play, do a fake handoff, do play action into a bootleg, and then you just have a brand new pocket and you're out in the middle of nowhere. You can make a clean throw.

Speaker 1 He's like the only coach that has figured out, like, it's not necessarily, I don't want to use the word rinky-dink, but I think a lot of coaches think it's rinky-dink to do too many bootlegs.

Speaker 1 You're like, make my guy stay in the pocket. You don't have to.
It's a Shanahan, it's the Shanahan way. She plum.
They showed it. He always looked good on the bootleg.

Speaker 1 You see Mike Shanahan up in the booth today? Shanna is

Speaker 1 so red, like a lizard that

Speaker 1 the chameleon. Yeah.
His skin just adapts to whatever color shirt he's wearing at the time. There's not enough bright red to be that color right now.
But yeah, the 49ers are very, very much real.

Speaker 1 It's not, again, this is not like some new thing that we've stumbled upon. It's just when you watch them time and time again, now they're playing a lot more games on prime time.

Speaker 1 Their defense is fucking ferocious. They feel like they have all the guys who can run like four, four, 40s and also are 280 pounds and can shed every single offensive lineman.

Speaker 1 I think that DeForest Buckner might be the scariest defensive lineman. I mean, him bosa.
Yeah, they get it. Unbelievable.
Still doing the shrugs. So their defense is incredible.

Speaker 1 And then, oh, yeah, it looks like when you get your Pro Bowl tight end, maybe the best tight end in the league, Greg Kittle back, your offense looks a little bit more competent than it did with his absence.

Speaker 1 Did you see the news about him that he was playing with a broken bone in his ankle? I'm sure he was. Yeah.
Fucking tough ass. Which actually, that's not as bad as a sprain, though, right?

Speaker 1 A broken ankle. True.
You'd almost rather break it. You just get surgery.
So, yeah. This is the Alabama ankle.
But he's out there and he's catching passes with like no one around him.

Speaker 1 And I don't know how they get this wide open in the middle of the field all the time, but they constantly do. Yep.
The 49ers look really, really good.

Speaker 1 Are you worried about, as a Packer owner and an apologist and

Speaker 1 a disgusting,

Speaker 1 I don't even like fake fan of theirs. I'm not a fake fan.
Are you worried that Matt LaFleur has looked like he's had his pants down a couple times this year?

Speaker 1 I was more concerned when they showed Matt LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers on the sideline in the third quarter. They were both standing by themselves.
Yep. And they were both

Speaker 1 next to each other in a way, but just not looking over at the other side.

Speaker 1 Packer fans are going to get triggered because, guess what? It's a rare day where the Bears won and the Packers lost. But all I'm saying is the Packers will go to the playoffs.

Speaker 1 But do you feel confident? If you're a Packer fan and you're looking in the mirror, you wake up on Monday morning, you look in the mirror, do you feel confident with your team?

Speaker 1 in the playoff football? Probably not. No.
Probably not. The secondary doesn't look very good at all.
Sorry.

Speaker 1 You know what needs to happen? Just Aaron Rodgers needs to invent a catchphrase. This is the time of year that he does it.

Speaker 1 And he still, Aaron Rodgers still has that ability where I wouldn't be shocked if he puts the team on his back and wins a game in the playoffs where they probably have no business winning.

Speaker 1 But I'm just

Speaker 1 the defense that everyone talked about at the beginning of the season. It turns out they were just playing Mitchabisky.
Yeah, you just want to say the word fraud. You're just looking for fraud.

Speaker 1 I didn't say it though, but they have fraud. You throw fraud around.
That's fine. Like you're tossing Marty Grod.
He's right about this one. I don't know.
I am very right.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't use the F-word just yet. A lot can happen in between.
They're going to get some guys healthy. I actually have no idea if that's true, but you can always say we're going to get our guys.

Speaker 1 It's like that always works the other way for the Packers. Like, Belaga went out today.
Yeah, that was actually tough. That was a tough one.
The Packers do have.

Speaker 1 I'll say something nice about the Packers. It does seem like they have really bad injury luck every single year.
Every year. Every year.
It really does.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So let's go backwards in time. We'll start with the one o'clocks.
We'll start with the Tampa Bay Bucks and the Atlanta Falcons. The Bucks win 35-22.

Speaker 1 I love

Speaker 1 Jameis Winston. It has gone from a lust.
It went from this guy's a joke to a lust to I got Jameis one of one in my life, realized there's a derangement syndrome by major media members.

Speaker 1 You've been red-pilled. I've been red-pilled.
Jameis Winston is

Speaker 1 one of, if not my favorite, quarterback in the NFL because of the comedy and because you can just always like, do you know he leads the the league this year in 300-yard games i did not know that he has eight of them he has eight of them he has six multiple touchdown games so he's interception games he's got to be close to being the uh best passer in the league right now yards wise right he he has he started this game in Jameis Winston fashion.

Speaker 1 He went interception, touchdown, interception, punt, touchdown, touchdown. He had three touchdowns and two interceptions just in the first half.
I think I figured out what his problem is. So

Speaker 1 he's not going to to get his eyes fixed. He's not going to get laser surgery.

Speaker 1 He's not going to wear glasses or rec specs, even though that would be amazing if he went out there with some like Coke bottle, like horn rim type glasses. It'd be perfect.

Speaker 1 He's not going to do any of that. He just needs bigger targets that make it easier for him to see them.

Speaker 1 So he threw a touchdown pass to Vita Vea, who is the heaviest player in NFL history to catch a pass. Ever catch a touchdown pass.
347 pounds.

Speaker 1 Also, he's named after a cold play song, which I guess is pretty cool. So I guess he's a pound heavier than Jonathan Ogden was.
He's seven pounds heavier. The listed 340 was Jonathan Ogden.

Speaker 1 Okay, and eight pounds heavier than Kelvin Benjamin. So he just needs like bigger, like, just, he can throw the ball to Mike Evans.
Yeah. We know that.
He's a big dude. Godwin's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 Godwin is really, really good. Godwin's Law because he loves Aryans.

Speaker 1 And I think he just needs to find a set of wide receivers that can kind of size up. The girthier the player, the easier it is for Jameis to identify them running through space.
He's,

Speaker 1 I'm being honest right now, he's going to be 26 in January.

Speaker 1 You really wouldn't, like, I know we laugh, and he does make a bunch of mistakes, and he is the first, or sorry, the second quarterback in the last 20 years to have 20 interceptions in 11 games.

Speaker 1 The other one to do it, this is probably speaks to why I'm in love with Jameis Winston was Jay Cutler in 2009.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I feel like there's something, you could build something with Jameis Winston. He's young enough.
He shows enough.

Speaker 1 Like, it's the Marcus Mariota-Jameis Winston thing has been decided for a while now, but Jameis at least. Wait, wait, it has? Yeah.
I mean, Marcus Mariota was benched for Ryan Tannehill.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but we're sure that Jameis is much, much better.

Speaker 1 Yes. Marcus Mariota was benched for Ryan Tannehill.
Okay. Marcus Mariota also made the playoffs.
Okay. Marcus Mariota was benched for Ryan Tannehill.
I'm aware.

Speaker 1 I don't know how many times that's six years. It's the six-year bump for Tannehill.
You had to roll the dice on that. Marcus Mariota, no, definitely not.
But Jameis, there's enough.

Speaker 1 You basically, maybe, maybe maybe I'll put it this way, all right?

Speaker 1 He may never be a great quarterback, but he will be a quarterback for a long time because everyone will look at him and be like, I can just get, if I can get him to not throw three picks a game, that's a pro bowler.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the only thing with him is I don't see Jameis Winson ever being a backup quarterback. He's not a good backup.

Speaker 1 No, he's the guy that you put out there and you roll the dice and you say, fuck it, let Jameis go be Jameis out

Speaker 1 and go 100 miles an hour into a brick wall, but you don't actually, I can't imagine him being an effective backup.

Speaker 1 You know what I'm saying, though, because every coach, every NFL coach treats themselves like they are a cowboy ready to

Speaker 1 wrestle down a wild horse and be like, I'm the guy who's going to make this horse a Kentucky Derby winner. What's the bad boy? It's the bad boy effect.
It's like, I can change him.

Speaker 1 I'm the one who can get him to stop throwing three picks a game.

Speaker 1 And he has, Jameis Winson does enough of the other stuff where you can say, if I can just limit the turnovers, he can be a guy.

Speaker 1 The other big news about this game was Dan Quinn might not have completely found the locker room. No, he's back.
He'll still be a leader. No, he's back.
He's all the way back. Dan Quinn is?

Speaker 1 Yeah, because he's even after today. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 He's back to doing Dan Quinn stuff because he kicked a field goal with eight minutes left in the game to make it a two-score game from a two-score game. From a two-score game.
They were down

Speaker 1 28-13, and it was fourth down with eight minutes left in the game, and he kicked a field goal to make it 28-16. But that's what Dan Quinn knows.

Speaker 1 whenever he gets confused with numbers, he just goes back to the old theory of I would rather have more points than fewer points.

Speaker 1 I actually think that Dan Quinn at this point, he has like the columns that say what you should do and what you shouldn't do. He just accidentally reversed it when he made it in like Excel.

Speaker 1 I think, yeah.

Speaker 1 So he's following the rules, but he's so consistently awful at these in-game situations that that's the only explanation that he actually has it written down and he's just been reading the wrong sheet the whole time.

Speaker 1 Well, it's like I just got this new computer right now and the scrolling on it is reverse what I'm used to. So I'm still getting used to like scrolling down when I need to scroll up.

Speaker 1 I don't need, I don't know how to fix this. But that's what Dan Quinn's brain is.
It's just when he's looking at an Excel table, he just scrolls up from the bottom. Right.

Speaker 1 He's like, if it's lower on the list, that actually means it's lower probability.

Speaker 1 So I'm going to go ahead and just kick it. By the way, he also punted with five minutes, six minutes left in the game.
You can't take him with you. You can't take those.

Speaker 1 He punted with six minutes left in the game. Who's there on the game? I know he was on his own 15, but he punted with six minutes left in the game.
But who's the coordinator there? I don't know.

Speaker 1 This whole thing is a Sarkeesian still. It was a nice try.
Nice try to save your job, Dan Quinn. You get Thursday night football.
You get

Speaker 1 the game that everyone is half asleep and very drunk on Thanksgiving Day to have the Saints come in and just kick the shit out of you with revenge.

Speaker 1 But yeah, it was a good try. You did.
You rallied the troops for two weeks, and then you went right back to being Dan Quinn and doing stupid things like kicking a field goal when you're down 15

Speaker 1 to go down 12 in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 So if you're Arthur Blank and you're looking at your next coach, are you going to do the thing where you try to go real young and try to get an offensive mind in there? I don't know.

Speaker 1 Or do you just stick with what you've done for the last 20 years and just have a defensive guy come in there? Because if so, this could be the Greg Shiana landing spot.

Speaker 1 That's probably why he walked away from Rutgers. Yeah, he's definitely getting a head coaching job in the NFL.
Shiana looks like he's. He knows the NFC South.
He knows the NFC South really well.

Speaker 1 He's a guy that has coached, I think, his entire career in uniforms that are red and black and some sort of gray, if I'm recalling correctly. Yeah, yeah.
He's a red, blue.

Speaker 1 He's a red, black, and gray guy through and through. He's in the Patriots staff.
For a month. Okay, right.
Well, that counts. Yeah, did he get team-issued uniforms?

Speaker 1 I feel like Belichick doesn't give those to you until you get into a game. Burnt orange for a day.
For the throwbacks, the creams.

Speaker 1 The lice head guy. Yeah.
Sent everyone after him. That's true.

Speaker 1 We won't comment on who that is.

Speaker 1 I think that, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I do like how Greg Sciano issued like a Trent Dilfer type contract demand upon Rutgers and wanted the world in exchange for them to allow himself to grace Rutgers campus with his presence.

Speaker 1 If you throw in Blue too, you have everything. Because I think he was at Penn State.
I know he was at the Bears for like a year or two, and I think he was...

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think it was Penn State because, you know.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right.
Well, yeah. Okay.
All right. So anyway,

Speaker 1 Greg Chiano is not going to get this job, but it was a nice try.

Speaker 1 We talked about it. People are talking about it.

Speaker 1 But yeah, this game, Jameis.

Speaker 1 I think they're going to do a bridge year with Jameis, and

Speaker 1 I think they're going to keep Jameis and try to corral him. Bruce Arians is just the type of guy.
I mean, he openly said he's getting fucked up tonight.

Speaker 1 So why not just get fucked up and probably call Jameis and be like, hey, man, I just want to say I love you. Yeah.
Like, what you did today was awesome. Bruce Arians has two modes after games.

Speaker 1 One, he's getting fucked up because he's pumped. Two, he's getting fucked up because he's pissed off.
Well, and he loves to go deep. He loves to take shots.
Yeah, Jameis is a fun quarterback if you're

Speaker 1 coaching him. He's at least going to throw the ball around.
Bruce Arians spends so much time in Arizona with Ryan Lindley and

Speaker 1 Stanton. Yeah.
Various iterations of Drew Stanton that would come in for Carson Palmer whenever he'd get his elbow injured again. Yep.

Speaker 1 And so he is sick of that type of quarterback that can't even throw the ball. Now he's got one that can throw it, so he might as well just take it out on the highway, see how fast it goes.

Speaker 1 Also, shout out, speaking of quarterback, shout out Matt Schaub for getting us the over. Yeah, that was cool.
Yeah, I feel like Schaub's gotten in a lot this year.

Speaker 1 He's just in there doing things. I love it.
I love it. We need that.
We need more of that. All right.
Broncos Bills. Bills are now 8-3.
Yep. We looked at their schedule coming up.

Speaker 1 It is very difficult. They have at Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
They have first the Ravens, at the Steelers, at the Patriots. So it's going to be tough, but they're 8-3.
We should say again, they're 8-3.

Speaker 1 And they absolutely shit canned the Broncos and didn't let them do anything on offense. The Broncos did not get into the red zone once.
That's tough. That is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 And you know, John always looking at Josh Allen being like, God damn, look at that boy. He's so tall.
That is exactly. He's so good.

Speaker 1 He's looking at Josh Allen like your neighbor looks at your new truck when you pull it in the driveway. He's like, God damn.
We got a Hemi. I wish I could get one of those.

Speaker 1 Brandon Allen, by the way, had a Josh Rosen stat line. I saw that.
10 for 25, 82 yards and an interception.

Speaker 1 How you throw the ball 25 times and only get 82 yards, I do not know. It's tough.
They need to get Drew Locke out there, show off some of his quality incompletions. They need to get him out there.

Speaker 1 And then the other big story from this game is Frank Gore, third all-time rushing. So he's now just behind Emmett Smith and Walter Payton.
He passed Barry Sanders.

Speaker 1 So I have some Frank Gore stuff for you. Well, first of all, anytime someone jumps or goes up on the rushing board,

Speaker 1 it just is more of a reminder how ridiculous Barry Sanders was. Yes.
Because he only played 10 seasons. And I looked it up, and Barry Sanders averaged five yards a carry.
That's insane. Average.

Speaker 1 That's insane. What year is this for Gore right now? This is year 15.

Speaker 1 So he had 500 more carries than Barry Sanders, and he just passed him. Emmett Smith had almost, he had 1,400 more carries than Barry Sanders.
So Barry Sanders,

Speaker 1 again, I don't want to steal from Frank Gore's moment, but

Speaker 1 if you didn't see Barry Sanders play, go just YouTube it because he was that ridiculous. All-time shoulder pads guy, too.
All-time shoulder pads boxes, shoulder pads.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is Barry Sanders' record. I always think of him as being the all-time leading rush.
Well, no, he's not. Right.
It's one of those things when... He could have had it if you wanted.

Speaker 1 He just didn't want it. And Emmett Smith has it, and it's like, okay, like, yeah, he, you know what? Emmett Smith did it for a really long time.
Good job. Yeah, you know what?

Speaker 1 But you're saying who you want, Walter Payton or Barry Sanders, is the answer. Everybody ahead of Barry Sanders on the list should have an asterisk next to their name.

Speaker 1 And then underneath where it identifies what that means, it just says, did not play for the Lions. Yeah.
Or, yeah, or asterisks,

Speaker 1 remember, Barry Sanders just quit all of a sudden. Yeah, not playing for the Lions is basically a performance-enhancing drug.

Speaker 1 All right, so here is the Frank Gore stat, though, that is incredible that he needs all the credit in the world for. So this is his 15th season.

Speaker 1 He has led every single team he's been on in rushing in that season. That is insane.
Insane. Is it happening again this year? It is happening again this year.

Speaker 1 He is about 100 yards ahead of Singletary, I believe, right now. But he is so, and then here's the other part.
He has, in his career, there have been 240 regular season games.

Speaker 1 He played in 220 of them. So he's basically just never been injured.
Never gets hurt.

Speaker 1 I think it was 14, 14, or no, 13 of the 14 seasons, he played in 14 or more games. I think Frank Gore is really good at falling down.
There's an art to getting tackled.

Speaker 1 I think we were talking with Arian Foster about that like a year and a half ago.

Speaker 1 There's an art to being tackled and not getting injured on your way down, which Arian Foster probably not the best example of that, but Gore is a perfect example of it.

Speaker 1 Like, maybe he doesn't move fast enough to ever hit the ground violently. Right.
And this isn't like one of those things where he's in his 15th season and it's a pity party. He's still producing.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, he's not their feature back really.
I mean even though he's leading the team in rushing right now but he still is going out there and getting positive yards.

Speaker 1 He kills the clock. What is his average yards per carry? If you had to guess over the course of his career it might be like 3.9.
No, it's 4.3 so it's aggressive.

Speaker 1 That's better than I thought it would be. Better than Emmett Smith.
Yeah, he just he melts the clock. He's like a Salvador Dali painting in the backfield.

Speaker 1 It's like playing Madden and then going to the main menu and selecting the accelerated clock whenever you put Frank Corner. Right.

Speaker 1 You ever say like, fuck it, let's just play two-minute quarters or three-minute quarters. I don't know what the minimum is.
Yeah. You basically just, it's just one possession, one possession.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Is it time right now to start asking about Sean McDermott, possible coach of the year?

Speaker 1 That's like the sweet spot for a coach of the year, coaching a smaller market team and elevating them beyond what their expectations are.

Speaker 1 Because they're not going to give it to Belichick. We know that.

Speaker 1 If they can't give it to a Falcons coach, they have to give it to like an also ran from an AFC North or an AFC East.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so I had if Brian Flores had gotten to like four or five wins, I would have given him my coach of the year vote, which I don't have.

Speaker 1 I still think it's going to probably be Kyle Shanahan just picking like, oh, best team hasn't won it yet. But I also would give it to Mike Tomlin.
He's done a pretty good job. Done a very good job.

Speaker 1 We'll get to the Steelers, but if the playoffs started today, the Pittsburgh Steelers would be your sixth seed. I think McDermott doesn't get enough shine because he doesn't have a thing.

Speaker 1 He doesn't have a thing that makes you stand out.

Speaker 1 But I'm talking visually. Right.

Speaker 1 Visually, the best best you can say about him is he looks like ron howard if ron howard's dad instead of being a director was a strength coach like a beefier version of ron howard okay that that counts yeah yeah i like that so the um by the way the i know we're gonna do who's back later but a big-time who's back related to the bills is the crazy bills fan screaming about how they're gonna beat the cowboys when in like the early 90s when they just got killed by them and everyone in buffalo uh cries about that still not trying to don't don't break that up i mean that's i i really feel bad about that.

Speaker 1 But that guy is awesome. My fan of the week this week was the Bills fan with the giant belly that had our Allen is better than your Allen painted across it.
Yes.

Speaker 1 You could probably fit a medium-sized Peter King column onto his stomach. It's that much surface area.
And I like that he does the full face paint, too, where it's like,

Speaker 1 I don't really understand that. The stomach should be enough, but then he's like, you know what? Let me add a little something here.
It won't surprise you to know that he was also wearing shorts.

Speaker 1 Yes, he was. Of course he was.
That's an ultimate shorts guy. By the way, shout out to our guy.

Speaker 1 What's his name, Chris Matthews? Chris Matthews. No longer has to wear shorts.
That's cool. Did you see him after the Blue Bombers won the Grey Cup?

Speaker 1 They brought him onto the field and he put on pants for the first time in 19 years. They did? Glorious.
Yeah, so he put on the pants. They were camo pants.

Speaker 1 They were like Ravens style white and black camo pants. And he put them on over a real stylish pair of Nike Air Monarchs.
Ooh. That's the new camo tuxedo.
It's no longer the denim on denim.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's just camo, snow camo on top of dad shoes. All right, so I have the bills fan.
This is the famous Bills fan because the Bills are playing the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.

Speaker 1 So we're gonna get all the memories.

Speaker 1 This guy. And that's when we met up with this enthusiastic fella.
Where do you hear what this guy says, pal? Goes for the Dallas Cowboys, and we're the Bills. And I can't wait to rub this in his face.

Speaker 1 He's been telling us this for over 10 years about Dallas. Oh, it's the Bills!

Speaker 1 Buffalo all the way this time. Three times.
The third time is a charm.

Speaker 1 Dallas is going down, Jerry James. Only Buffalo is going to win it.
Dallas is going down. Oh, I love it.

Speaker 1 Third time's a charm. And they went on to, if you don't know history, they went on to lose that time and then another time.
They could actually kill Jason Garrett.

Speaker 1 I think that if the Bills beat the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, that is going to be be a high-profile enough loss. Well, we'll get to that for Gary Jones to the eject bar.
Yeah, he definitely.

Speaker 1 But that guy is going to be back. I might tweet it every single day before Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 Dallas is going down. Third time's a charm.

Speaker 1 Shout out that guy. All right.
Next up, we have Giants Bears. Mitch.
Congratulations. Mitch is back.
Mitch is back. He battled.
He had some really bad interceptions, but he has a hip.

Speaker 1 Battled through a terrible hip injury that knocked him out of the last game. You have to only imagine the type of pain pain he was playing through out there.

Speaker 1 He did throw one of the worst interceptions in the non-famous hip division.

Speaker 1 It was obviously a hip issue. He underthrew by about 20 yards.
He had a hip.

Speaker 1 This is a classic game, though, that actually makes me more mad about the Bears, which shouldn't make sense, but it does because Mitch played average and the Bears won.

Speaker 1 And all he has to do is play average and the Bears can win.

Speaker 1 And Khalil Mack came back and had a big play, and it's just so frustrating because you watch when he can just play average, the Bears can win games.

Speaker 1 And when they just run two-minute offense, they can win games.

Speaker 1 I don't understand what Matt Nagy's doing. Every time they're in a two-minute offense, they look good.

Speaker 1 And then they start the second half, and they're like, let's just do the same thing we've been doing that doesn't work. And every game starts the same way.
Let's just do the thing. It doesn't work.

Speaker 1 We'll go three and out five different times in a row. Everyone will boo.
And then we'll run the two-minute offense and it'll look great. You have to relearn the same lesson every single week.

Speaker 1 It's like waking up as that guy from Memento.

Speaker 1 Matt Nagy, he's crazy enough to do all this weird shit like the egg toss and replaying the double doink over and over again. He should just tattoo his mistakes onto himself.

Speaker 1 Instead of writing BU on his play card, he should just tattoo it across his forehead.

Speaker 1 There was actually a classic Bears moment, though, when they were going for two, got called for pass interference, offensive pass interference, got pushed back, then another penalty pushback, then missed the extra point.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well I was going to say Eddie Pinero didn't miss any field goals goals today.

Speaker 1 He missed an extra point. But it was a 48-yarder.
Yeah, it was a long extra point. So many penalties.
It was a very long extra point. I want to say something about Saquon real quick.
Yep.

Speaker 1 Because he's starting to make me sad because he's getting sad. No, well.
He's getting sad. Did you see his quote? He said, he keeps reminding the guys that someday we're going to laugh about this.

Speaker 1 Okay, we're going to look back. This is the calm before the start.

Speaker 1 No, we might laugh.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we might laugh about it, but that's just to hide all the hurt. Right.
He's got eyes. I think

Speaker 1 I called him mugshot eyes at one point, not because he looks like he committed a crime, but they're the eyes of somebody that knows that their life is going to get worse before it gets better in that instant.

Speaker 1 And on the sidelines, he's just thinking about all the shit that he's going to have to go. All the losing games that he's going to have to play and where he's going to get 25 carries, 72 yards.

Speaker 1 Well, Pat Shermer just keeps running him on like halfback dives, a guy who's dynamic in space, and he's like, let's just run him straight up the middle.

Speaker 1 Pat Shermer, you should be fired if you make Mitch look competent. That should be the rule.

Speaker 1 Remember, I made the rule that you

Speaker 1 should, you don't get to be called, you don't get to be in the running for coach of the year if you lose to the Dolphins. I think I had that earlier because who did they beat? Who else did they beat?

Speaker 1 The Dolphins beat the Redskins, so Jay Gruden, not coaching. Oh, no, no, so it wasn't.

Speaker 1 Maybe it was, I can't remember what it was, but something, if Brian Flores beats you, then like something should happen bad. You should lose your job.

Speaker 1 But Pat Shermer should lose his job for making Mitch look average. Well, he looked, yeah, he looked competent today.
Pat Shermer? No, no, no, no, no. I'm saying Mitch looked good.

Speaker 1 In fact, I would argue that that 30-yard interception that he threw, that was about 15 yards underthrown, that's a plus play for Mitch because it's yeah, it's like a slightly below average punt.

Speaker 1 No, he was average, which is better than what you'll get mostly. Yeah, he had two touchdowns.
He had a running touchdown, a passing touchdown, two interceptions, whatever. 278 yards.

Speaker 1 Is it time to ask if maybe Saquon's legs are too big? They give you a nice big target to wrap up if you're trying to tackle them. I just don't know.
If I were a Giants fan,

Speaker 1 I would be yelling. I would start a Fire Pat Shermer Twitter account and have like four followers and just tweet really mean things to the Giants until they blocked me.

Speaker 1 That's what I would do if I were a Giants fan. Is Pat ShermerFiredYet.net? Right.
Make that, yeah. All the time.
Just right at him.

Speaker 1 Because you're also in that weird spot where, yeah, the Giants' defense is really bad, but they have some young guys on offense.

Speaker 1 And how long do you want to have him be the coach and kind of ruin things? And Daniel Jones, you just love fumbling, dude. You love to fumble.
Yeah, Yeah, he looked pretty bad today.

Speaker 1 I think, are we ready to say that Daniel Jones was definitively a better pick than Dwayne Haskins yet? Dwayne Haskins did not look good.

Speaker 1 But he didn't look bad

Speaker 1 at times.

Speaker 1 I think Daniel Jones has more than Dwayne Haskins thus far than I've seen. Well, I should hit over.
So

Speaker 1 the Bears play the Lions on Thanksgiving against Jeff Driscoll. Daniel Jones never missed a snap when the team was in the victory formation because he was taking selfie.
It's true.

Speaker 1 Because I don't think that they've ever run victory formation with Daniel Jones as a quarterback. They won against the Boxing Board.
Yeah, but that was a misfield goal. Yeah, that was so maybe not.

Speaker 1 They might not have.

Speaker 1 So the Bears play the Lions on Thanksgiving, then they have the Cowboys, and then if they win those two, that's three in a row, and I'll be back in.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 What? No,

Speaker 1 go ahead.

Speaker 1 You're saying that you're going to be back in. If they win those two.
So you're already kind of back in. No, no, no.
You're making plans to be back in. No.
This is bad. Yeah, you're.

Speaker 1 No, they're really bad. You're like in an escape room.
They're really bad. You're in an escape room right now of your own brain.
The problem is.

Speaker 1 You've figured out the next two steps to getting yourself out of it. The problem is they're a really, really bad team, but they have the same roster of a really good team last year.

Speaker 1 So that's what keeps fucking with my brain. Now, what if the wheels totally come off in Green Bay?

Speaker 1 Would be a shame, man. Would be a real shame.
It's very, I can see a path to you being back in. It would be a real shame.

Speaker 1 Okay, Steelers, Bengals, duck.

Speaker 1 Duck fucks. Duck Fox.
Duck Fucks big time. I want to just say, to our credit, we don't get a lot of things right on this show.

Speaker 1 Mason Rudolph being shitty because his face is too big was maybe the best take we've ever had. That guy stinks.
It was obvious. He is.

Speaker 1 I've said this before, but at least the Steelers, and they're in the playoffs right now, so I think they could actually, you know,

Speaker 1 if they put together this, you know, home stretch, they could somehow get in the playoffs, which would be incredible considering all that's gone on.

Speaker 1 But they at least learned that Mason Rudolph isn't the guy because you have a guy now, Mason Rudolph, who in two weeks, what's worse, getting smashed in the head by Miles Garrett or getting benched while playing an 0-10 team.

Speaker 1 Yeah, getting benched against the Bengals is definitely worse. If we're going to say, like, what are the worst things that an Ohio team could do to you?

Speaker 1 I think going up against, getting out-dueled by Ryan Finley is worse than getting hit in the head with your own helmet. Brutal.
I I don't know how, I mean,

Speaker 1 I hope Mike Tomlin does the right thing.

Speaker 1 He did the, you know, I'm not talking about it, Mike Tomlin thing that he does, but I hope he does the right thing and keeps Duck as their quarterback because simply because they're playing the Browns next week and you don't want to give the Browns any extra motivation with putting that fucking big-ass face behind center and having everyone be like, that's the guy.

Speaker 1 Permission to go there? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think you might hate Mason Rudolph a little bit because he doesn't not look like you. No, he doesn't look like you.
He doesn't not look like you. No, I don't think he looks like you.

Speaker 1 He looks like

Speaker 1 if

Speaker 1 Matt Moore ate a shitload of sodium. Matt Moore looks like you.
Yeah, if Matt Moore ate a ton of sodium and his face swelled up.

Speaker 1 He's too pretty. No,

Speaker 1 he's a lot prettier than I am. He's not Mason Rudolph? Yes, he does not.
He's got like a pretty.

Speaker 1 He's a good-looking guy. His face is just too big.
He doesn't look like it. If he spent like three months in the wild

Speaker 1 in Alaska, in the Alaskan wilderness, he would come back looking like a J.V. Matt Moore.
I'm just saying, he's... No.
There's guys who look like me, he doesn't look like me.

Speaker 1 If you put Mason Rudolph in the wind for a couple years, then he's going to start to approach you. No, he doesn't look like me, and that's why would I hate him? I would love him.
I love Matt Moore.

Speaker 1 The thing is,

Speaker 1 Castle and Matt Leiner, I love all the Matt.

Speaker 1 The thing about Duck is, and I love Duck, and I want to see him play, I think it's almost better if they just keep sending Mason Rudolph out there to start and he keeps getting yanked for Duck because Duck lights a spark in your team.

Speaker 1 You've got the world junior duck-calling champion coming into the game. That's always going to make the boys play with a little pep in their stuff.

Speaker 1 It also helps that you had like a 90-yard touchdown pass where the Bengals just... That was a play where you watched it.
You said, yeah, the Bengals are actively tanking.

Speaker 1 Well, it's because the velocity of Duck's pass made the receiver go faster when he caught it. Yeah.
Like a little rocket fuel.

Speaker 1 I think, do you take Chase Young if you're the Bengals, or do you take Joe Burrow?

Speaker 1 Because the Bengals have it. That's a tough choice.
They have it. They've got a commanding two-game lead.
Commanding. They play the Dolphins later in the season.
Please flex at the prime time.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 I think I would take Chase Young. I think so, too.
I think so, too. So,

Speaker 1 yeah, the Bengals keep.

Speaker 1 I don't understand how they can be as competitive as they are and not have stumbled into a win yet. Right.
This is what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 Like, there's no real talk about firing Taylor after this season as a head coach. Because the Bengals are competitive.
They're just losing every game.

Speaker 1 He's actually doing the world's most perfect job of tanking. Yeah.
So the Steelers, like I said before,

Speaker 1 if the playoffs started today, they'd be your sixth seed, which is incredible to say.

Speaker 1 That speaks all the credit in the world to their defense, which has been awesome because their offense has not been good whatsoever.

Speaker 1 And Mike Tomlin has somehow has them like this game against the Browns where it's kind of, it is a loser leaves town because both those teams, if they get hot down the stretch, could get that sixth seed and they play on Sunday.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Browns need to be very careful about asking for Duck. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They need to back off that for a little bit.

Speaker 1 Shout out to the Bengals Super fan. I don't know.
We're just calling everyone a super fan nowadays, but

Speaker 1 shout out to the Bengals fan who is still living on his roof. Yeah.
Who's not allowed to come down until they lose, like a scarecrow for Santa Claus is up there just hanging out on the shingles.

Speaker 1 Who definitely just loves the Bengals, and that's why he did it. And it's not because he is not getting along with his wife and wanted to just live on his roof all winter long.

Speaker 1 Well, also, as we said earlier, just living on your roof is boss as fuck. That's a cool movie.
You go to Treehouse up there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, so speaking of the Browns and next week, let's do Browns Dolphins. I have a sabermetric stat for you.

Speaker 1 I think you probably saw this as well, but the Browns are 3-0 since the introduction of Swagger Jr., SJ.

Speaker 1 That's awesome. Dude, Swagger is a lucky dog.
They've lost their best player because he went crazy and hit a guy in the face with a helmet, but that doesn't matter. Swagger Jr.
3-0.

Speaker 1 A little nepotism in the doghouse coming down from his pot. Was his dad a loser? Are we ready to say that?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, Swagger was a loser.
I mean,

Speaker 1 I think we could have said that a long time ago. Yeah, Swagger Jr.,

Speaker 1 that dog's got a winning set of eyes on him.

Speaker 1 Swagger Jr., I mean, you should just send, or Swagger Sr., you should just send him to wherever Hugh Jackson is living. And just be like, here you go.
Losers love losers.

Speaker 1 I could see Hugh Jackson ending up as like the dog whisperer, just like with a lot of cast-off mascots. Yeah.

Speaker 1 A good way to get canceled online is to call a dog a loser, but if we're being honest here, Swagger Sr. was a fucking loser.

Speaker 1 It's our job as members of the Fourth Estate in the press to actually, you know, speak truth to power. In this case, Swagger, you're fucking

Speaker 1 a fucking loser, man. You're a loser.
You gave a bad name to Mastiffs Everywhere. He did, Leroy.
Actually, Leroy would be like, yo, don't lump me in with it. He's a bull mastiff.
Yeah. I'm a mastiff.

Speaker 1 He's a loser. I'm not Swagger.
Swagger Jr. looks like he's got a little

Speaker 1 less round head, so probably a little bit more English mastiff. Everything about Swagger Jr.
is better than Swagger Swagger Sr. That's a fact.
He's got a great coat.

Speaker 1 All right. So the Jarvis Landry revenge game.
Yes. The game we didn't know we needed for Jarvis Landry to get his revenge.
He was awesome.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 this actually started kind of like a college game, like when

Speaker 1 like Oklahoma plays Kansas because

Speaker 1 the Dolphins were down 28-0 in a blink of an eye. It was like three and out, three and out.

Speaker 1 They did a fake punt that didn't work. and then I think a pick.
And you just look down for one second, you're like, oh, it's 28-0. And they've played the Oklahoma fight song 50 million times.
Yep.

Speaker 1 And Ryan Fitzpatrick had a couple of great Ryan Fitzpatrick plays in it, too, where he was pump-faking while he was five yards downfield past the line of scrimmage. Yep.

Speaker 1 And he did the thing where he finds the smallest player in the secondary and runs over him. Yes.
He's very good at that.

Speaker 1 He, so my say something nice about the Dolphins was it was Ryan Fitzpatrick's birthday.

Speaker 1 That is very nice. Very nice.
And

Speaker 1 for a moment in time on Saturday, Harvard-Yale was the most talked about college football game. That's true.
He went to Harvard. Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard in the protest game.
That's very nice.

Speaker 1 Also, his chin strap, I don't know where it sits in such a comically ridiculous place now because his beard is so long. Yeah, you just know.
You don't know where it's landing.

Speaker 1 You don't know where his chin is. It usually goes somewhere in there.
I think he's a guy that normally wears the chin strap high, anyways.

Speaker 1 Like right underneath his lower lip is usually where it kind of nests in.

Speaker 1 it looks like an egg in a bird's nest. Right.
Is his chin strap. Right.
There should be like an egret that comes by and just sits on his chin thinking that it's keeping its little baby warm.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's a mother bird that's going to come down and just peck a defender being like, get away from my baby. I thought.
That's actually just Ryan Fitzpatrick's chin strap.

Speaker 1 I thought it was nice before the game that Browns fans were smashing a Mason Rudolph piñata with a helmet. No, yeah, it was blindfolding and then just running around and hitting it.

Speaker 1 That was so muni-lot awesome. That's why I love Browns fans.
What do you think is inside the Mason Rudolph piñata?

Speaker 1 Turnovers. Turnovers.
Cherry turnovers. Turnovers.
Yeah, a lot of turnovers. I like that.

Speaker 1 Maybe just like big head, big bobbleheads. Yeah.
Just the bobble.

Speaker 1 I'm just glad the Browns they moved on from dealing with all this violence from their players, and now they're focusing on Kareem Hunt in the run game. It's nice to get him back in the mix.

Speaker 1 The Mason Rudolph, how many times do you think Mason Rudolph, like being like, it was actually Mason Rudolph's fault, was said in the Browns' tailgating lot today. A lot.
I mean, every a billion.

Speaker 1 That same screenshot with the blue arrow is getting passed around, and probably, I'd say, no fewer than 2,000 group texts inside that parking lot.

Speaker 1 Every time there was an awkward silence, it was just filled with, you know what? Fuck Mason Rudolph. He kicked him in the nuts.
Yeah, what the fuck? He tried to grab his helmet. He's a fucking guy.

Speaker 1 I marked this down last week, but I didn't get to address it.

Speaker 1 But do you remember that clip from last year when it was Baker Mayfield and Freddie Kitchens on the sidelines?

Speaker 1 And Freddy said something to Baker, then Freddy walked away, and Baker's like, that guy's such an idiot, man. And everyone was like, look at this great chemistry between the player and the coach.

Speaker 1 They're getting along really. I'm beginning to think that Baker actually wasn't joking when he said that.
Baker's been playing very well, though. Yes.
And

Speaker 1 now it's the Dolphins, but I think they scored four out of five times going to the red zone. And it's actually...
comforting that Baker's playing well and it's been under the radar.

Speaker 1 Do you know what I mean? It feels like he's found his equilibrium where Baker can play well and the Browns can win a couple games and not have everyone freak out.

Speaker 1 Maybe it's just because the air was taken out of the tire so early on their season, but this is where they should be because they're now in a spot where no one really believes in them and they're kind of the back to the plucky underdog Browns.

Speaker 1 The Browns just never can be,

Speaker 1 you know, sports illustrated covered, GQ cover. It feels weird.
The Dark Horse team. That can't happen.

Speaker 1 They have to be right where they are right now, where every game's a must-win to get in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 I have a thought about the Browns that I've been entertaining. Okay.
I think that they might run the table.

Speaker 1 I think that the Browns might make the playoffs. You might nick right yourself here.
I think they might. No,

Speaker 1 they lose to the Steelers next week. I think my brain is telling me that they're going to run the table.
So if I'm wrong, it's not me. It's my brain.

Speaker 1 Okay, so the Browns, the rest of their schedule, they have...

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, they actually definitely could run the table because they have.

Speaker 1 Basically, if they beat the Steelers on Sunday, they have the Bengals at home at the Cardinals, the Ravens at home,

Speaker 1 they've already beaten them, and the Ravens might not have that much to play for at the time. And then,

Speaker 1 well, they probably will because they can play for the one seed. Well, they could.
It depends if the Patriots lose.

Speaker 1 And then the Bengals at Cincinnati, week 17. Yeah.
So what will happen is here, they are going to beat the Steelers, beat the Bengals, and then somehow lose to the Cardinals. I don't know.

Speaker 1 In just classic Browns fashion. They'll get above 500 and then everyone will break.
And then they'll beat the Ravens and the Bengals. I hate how much sense that's making.
They can finish 9-7.

Speaker 1 I hate how much sense that's making.

Speaker 1 All they do is beat the Cardinals on that weird 4 o'clock game in the middle of December in the desert. But Cleveland, I believe in Cleveland right now.
That's a bad.

Speaker 1 Close your eyes. Browns at Cardinals.
That's a weird game. That's a weird game.
Color-wise, they don't

Speaker 1 have a weird game. Weird shit's going to happen there.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 let's go next to Panther Saints. Before we do that, Bud Light.
It's not science. Bud Light is crisp, plain, and simple.
You know it. I know it.
We all know it.

Speaker 1 So rather than spending an entire ad reminding you, Bud Light is giving the other half of its ad reads to small businesses, but no free ads. The read must include the word crisp and Bud Light.

Speaker 1 This week's winner is IWORKS. All right, listen up, all you Stoolies in the Schoolies.
Science isn't just for measuring the size of Saquon Barkley's thighs. PFT mentioned that earlier.

Speaker 1 It might be too big. It's also how we learn about the world.
That's why iWorks is here to make science fun and easy to learn. The hands-on experiments

Speaker 1 engage users and make those complicated concepts go down easier than an ice-cold Bud Light on a Friday night.

Speaker 1 The research quality equipment provides real-world data with signals so crisp you'll want to put them on a poster.

Speaker 1 Go to iWorks.com to see if they can help your college science courses, iWorks, making science happen at iWorks systems for a chance to have your small business featured, simply tweet or DM at Bud Light an ad for your business.

Speaker 1 Make it funny, make it stand out, and make sure it includes the word crisp and Bud Light. Okay, Panther Saints.

Speaker 1 Did you see that a PI overturn went against the Saints? Hilarious.

Speaker 1 Hilarious.

Speaker 1 Hilarious. I also saw that DeAndre Hopkins had an idea earlier this week after he got, you know, he got hosed last week when he got tackled in the end zone against the Ravens.

Speaker 1 He thinks that it shouldn't be one guy making the call. It should be three or five people.
It's like boxing judges kind of.

Speaker 1 So get more people involved. But that led me to have a different idea, which is they should take all the coaches that are on bye weeks and have them all vote.
They should be like a council.

Speaker 1 But there'll be grudges. But all the votes should be public.
Okay. So you should be able to.
What happens when there's no bye weeks? Then that's another issue that we're going to have to delve into.

Speaker 1 That happens every year. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I'm going to have to regroup and get back to you on that one. That happens like many weeks.
I would just like to see coaches be involved in the process.

Speaker 1 Okay, because they're the ones that complain about the most.

Speaker 1 Well, I don't hate that idea because you could also have, there would be, you'd have to talk about the strategy going into the bye week, be like, hey, Andy Reid has a bye week.

Speaker 1 Maybe we shouldn't challenge anything because there's no way he's going to get it right. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So you have to think about the brains that you're going to be doing. Oh, who is it this week? Okay.
You know, we probably don't want to

Speaker 1 risk this one.

Speaker 1 Jason Garrett clap once for overturn twice for keep it as it stands. Jason Garrett would just stare at it and just watch it loop endlessly and not say a word.

Speaker 1 I do applaud the NFL for sticking to their general application of any rule, which is always fuck over the saints. Yeah.
So, I mean, it is consistent. It was hilarious.

Speaker 1 And everyone got their jokes off and it was hilarious to see.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Sean Payne for getting engaged, too. You see that? Yeah, he got engaged.
Oh. And in the picture, big nipple picture.
Of course. Dude, ever since he did CrossFit, he's been a nip guy.

Speaker 1 He cut the

Speaker 1 ring himself with those diamond cutters and raisins that he smuggled. He's a big-time nip guy.
He should wear a bra. As someone who's thought about wearing a bra before, he should wear a bra.

Speaker 1 The Saints can win the division on Thursday night, mostly thanks to the Panthers kicker Joey Sly,

Speaker 1 who does not look like a kicker. He's the swole kicker.
I don't like that. I don't like the swole kicker.

Speaker 1 I don't like a kicker that looks like he drives a pickup truck or is trying to escape from his true nature of being a kicker. He is so swole that when he

Speaker 1 got,

Speaker 1 I don't think he got drafted, but when he joined the Panthers, a bunch of guys were confused when he started nailing kicks. They're like, I thought you were a linebacker.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't see, I don't like it. It doesn't work.
He's not going to make the big kick. I'm sorry.
I like my kickers to be vaguely European, maybe go as far as to do the one barefoot thing.

Speaker 1 Like, be quirky, be weird, be small. Look like no one talks to you on the team.
Yes.

Speaker 1 You can't have it be a kicker where everyone's like, oh, maybe that guy's actually friends with someone other than the long snapper.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you're a jacked up kicker, you're trying to get away from being a kicker instead of embracing it. That tells me that you've got mental issues.

Speaker 1 Okay, so for this game, I wrote down, and I actually saw Sean Payton mention it, I think, on Friday, but I'm ready to hop on board that Michael Thomas should be the MVP.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 there has never been a wide receiver that's won MVP, which is crazy. Crazy, crazy, crazy.
And we're talking about the, I think it's the coaches poll.

Speaker 1 There's been other awards, like, there's other polls and stuff. There has never been the last wide receiver to get an MVP vote, 1998 Randy Moss.

Speaker 1 You know what the problem with giving him an MVP is, though? You give him an MVP, and then

Speaker 1 his name becomes part of an unbelievable stat, which is, can you believe that Randy Moss and Jerry Rice never won an MVP? That's fine, though. I'm reasonably going to do it because it should,

Speaker 1 and here's what's pushing me over the edge with Michael Thomas this year. One, he is most likely going to break Marvin Harrison's record for receptions in a season.
He had, I think, 143 in 2002.

Speaker 1 Michael Thomas has 94 right now through 11 games. So I think if he's pretty much averaging like 10 a game.
So he'll get right close to it.

Speaker 1 And I think they'll probably force the ball to him if he's close to getting that. Sean Payton would absolutely do something like that.
Two,

Speaker 1 he's done it with two different quarterbacks. And I think that that speaks more, like, you know how they always make argument: well, it's the most valuable player to your team.

Speaker 1 So it would be hard for a wide receiver to win MVP because you say, well, it's the quarterback throwing him the ball.

Speaker 1 He's kept the Saints afloat by being so steady through Drew Brees' injury, Teddy Bridgewater, and then Drew Brees coming back. Taysom Hill, too.
So, really, it's three different quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 And then, three, I always forget, but it needs to be mentioned. He has the greatest Twitter handle for a player.
It's at Can't Guard Mike.

Speaker 1 I mean, come on.

Speaker 1 I can't believe the Twitter handle was still available right now. At can't guard Mike.
He is just telling you in his Twitter handle that you will not be able to guard him. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So you don't think that it's going to be

Speaker 1 in your mind, if you had a vote. I had four.

Speaker 1 He's better at

Speaker 1 the position that

Speaker 1 the leading guy right now, Lamar Jackson, is also a wide receiver. He's a lot better at wide receiver than him.
That's true. So there's four.
Okay, got it.

Speaker 1 Man, Patrick Mahomes is going to hit us up after this one. Let us know he's upset with us.
Damn, Michael Wilbon drop. But, yeah, I think that he's a really good wide receiver.

Speaker 1 I think that obviously, like, he makes that Saints off. He's not going to win MVP votes.

Speaker 1 He's not going to win. He should be considered in the mix.
He should be considered. It's crazy to not at least say.
I know it's going to come down to probably Lamar Jackson. And I don't know.

Speaker 1 I mean, Russell Wilson wasn't great today, but he should be considered for MVP voting. I will consider.
Michael Thomas for my MVP vote. There we go.
That's all I'm asking.

Speaker 1 All I want is mine's one step at a time. I want him to get one MVP vote.
That's all. We need to get the list of the MVP voters and just, you know what?

Speaker 1 That fucking little shithead Prisco probably has a vote. I'm sure he does.
So, Prisco, listen up. You love being contrarian.
You love blocking people and saying see on Twitter.

Speaker 1 How about you vote for Michael Thomas and be the contrarian that everyone gets mad at? Well, he hates running backs enough to the point where he would think about voting for a wide receiver.

Speaker 1 I actually love you, Prisco.

Speaker 1 I mean, I do. I read all his stuff.
He's awesome. I also made a note at halftime.
Sean Payton likes to flex sometimes.

Speaker 1 And a lot of coaches, they try to do the copy bellichek thing where they don't say anything about how they're going to adjust what they saw that went wrong in the first half.

Speaker 1 Sean Payton was like, watch out for Kamara. We're going to get Kamara the ball.
We need to feed Kamara. And then they come out and they hit him like three times in a row right after that.
Damn.

Speaker 1 I think he was just trying to flex with Tracy Wolfson. I do like that.
Being like, look, I'm going to put my balls on the table. That's fine.

Speaker 1 And he probably walked into the locker room. He's like, you ever have that thing where like you get engaged and then every chick wants to fuck you? Yeah, that's definitely what he said afterwards.

Speaker 1 He's absolutely feeling himself a little bit more. Tracy was giving me those eyes, she's giving me the eyes because

Speaker 1 I straight up told her, I was like, dude, you know what? When I said I was going to give Kamara the ball, she was like undressing me.

Speaker 1 I'm a taken man. Sorry, Tracy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so do you feel confident in the Saints? Yeah, well,

Speaker 1 I do. I do, but they don't have shit to play for.
It sucks that their division is so bad. I agree.
Because they could kind of take the foot off the gas for the next four weeks and they'd be fine.

Speaker 1 I'll say this. I feel confident in everyone in the Saints except Drew Brees.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Let's get that take on.

Speaker 1 Drew Brees is still very good, but he's going to have to make a few big-time, like, deep throws. I don't know if he still has it.
I have noticed. For those throws.
Listen, I think.

Speaker 1 This is for all the other ones.

Speaker 1 I think that he still has most of it, but I have noticed over the last couple of weeks when he does his little squat down in the huddle, you know how he usually takes that big big lunge and he usually doesn't put the knee down.

Speaker 1 He's usually supporting himself in a lunge. He's been putting the knee down, taking a little bit of weight off.
Yep. Taking little breaks between plays.

Speaker 1 And the Saints, that's the first thing that goes.

Speaker 1 The Saints might be good enough and talented enough to not need him to do that.

Speaker 1 But I just, that's my biggest concern: is in a playoff game, in a big-time moment, Drew Brees has to hit an open guy 30 yards down the field. Can he do it?

Speaker 1 And I don't know. They're probably going to have to go up against some refs decisions as well.
They're going to have to battle through the zebras to get there.

Speaker 1 Okay, next up we got Raiders and Jets.

Speaker 1 The Raiders. I guess if you throw out a stinker, you might as well really stink.
So much so that we had Mike Glennon get in the game, and he did first three snaps, fumbled twice.

Speaker 1 So that's Mike Glennon. I actually believed in him at one point in my life.
And then Gruden, after the game, said, ever been on a boat that's sinking? Which is the most relatable. Who hasn't?

Speaker 1 Yeah, no.

Speaker 1 I hope not. Yeah, but

Speaker 1 that's a harsh thing to say, real quick, after you guys were riding high a minute ago. Yeah, it's tough.
It was very tough.

Speaker 1 And so he also gave a shout out to all the Raiders fans that came out in New Jersey. I guess there's a shitload of Raiders fans that were there today.
Really? Being very loud in the stadium.

Speaker 1 He was sorry. I think John Gruden has just developed a love with the black hole so much.
He has.

Speaker 1 He always kind of feels like he has to represent for him, which is a good quality to have in a coach, I think.

Speaker 1 Well, and I actually would say that it's partly in part because he was an underdog when he came back. We made the jokes, everyone made the jokes that it wouldn't work, and it's starting to work.

Speaker 1 And I think he probably says, hey, these black hole guys, they're the only ones who thought that I would actually be able to do this. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, Gruden did a great job of making himself the underdog as he was getting 10 years, $10 million a year, $100 million guaranteed to go move to Las Vegas.

Speaker 1 It's tough for that guy to become an underdog, but somehow he has.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, so that's bad for the Raiders. Playoff hopes.
They were riding high. They now have to go to Kansas City next week after Andy Reid and a bye.
Just alert Katie. Put that on an alert.

Speaker 1 Andy Reid and a bye. But yeah,

Speaker 1 Gruden afterwards was like, I'm emotional about this loss. I don't want to talk about it.
It's also Andy Reid after Thanksgiving, though. So he's going to be a little lethargic.
A little bit

Speaker 1 like a few plates of mac and cheese. Those eyes going to do the slow nod off where you're just like, okay.

Speaker 1 He's probably spent the last, since this was a balloon week, he's probably had his turkey brining and marinating and like working up some crazy new recipes for it that he saw in like the barefoot contessa.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Um, all right.
So we have uh also in this game, Sam Darnold is

Speaker 1 like, I think this is his coming out three weeks. The Jets have scored 34 points three weeks in a row.
He's officially over the mono. Exactly 34 points.
And he looks awesome.

Speaker 1 So if you're a Jets fan, are you one

Speaker 1 mad because all you had to do was beat the Bills week one in a game that you were up at half, or beat the Dolphins,

Speaker 1 who were still actively trying to tank,

Speaker 1 to be realistically in this playoff race? Or two, you're just happy that Sam Darnold looks like the quarterback. I think you're just happy.
Oh, he looks like the quarterback.

Speaker 1 Because they're dangerously close. If the Jets keep winning, they're dangerously close.

Speaker 1 So it's almost better to say that we would have been able to make the playoffs if he was healthy than to have Darnold go out in some of those games and stink it up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just, I know that if I were a Jets fan, I'd be like two wins away from just staring at the box scores of those Dolphins and Bills games and being like, why?

Speaker 1 But that's a much better feeling to have than to actually have Donald go out there and ruin one of those games. True.

Speaker 1 Like the burden of expectation that goes along with being a successful team and being the New York Jets, that's going to be worse to deal with than being almost good, but not quite getting there because your quarterback made out with a 21-year-old in Hoboken.

Speaker 1 True. If they win out,

Speaker 1 Jets fans will be bad that they lost those games.

Speaker 1 If they win out. Yeah.
Can you imagine being that nine and seven? We don't have a draft pick, or you know, we don't have a good draft pick, and all we had to do is beat the Dolphins with the Bills.

Speaker 1 Imagine how many head coaching jobs Greg Williams is going to turn down this offseason. He's going to have to hire a guy.
He's going to have to hire a guy to just say, nope, you can't do it.

Speaker 1 Like a reverse Kevin Hart. Sorry, he's not taking on any more projects.
The other story from this game is the NFL's rules on how you and how and when you can hit a a quarterback are still a joke.

Speaker 1 And Cleet Blakeman, who I still, it's such a joke that he is a rat. Well, a name like Cleet Blakeman should never be in charge of anything.
He sounds like a parody Twitter account.

Speaker 1 If your name's yeah, it does. If Jeff Fox were the trope.
Yeah, if your name's Cleet Blakeman, you should maybe be in charge of like a petting zoo. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's about as high as you should advance in a muffler shop?

Speaker 1 Mufflers, those

Speaker 1 carburetors, that same thing.

Speaker 1 I don't think you have the business acumen if your name is Clee Blakeman.

Speaker 1 Maybe a,

Speaker 1 what do you call them, the spoilers that you put on the back of your yeah, yeah, yeah, some aftermarket, some spoilers that go on. He can specialize in putting spoilers on Civic SIs.

Speaker 1 Yeah, motorcycle accessory shop. So not actually knows how to fix a motorcycle, but if you want like the sweet fire stripes down your hog, Cleek Blakeman's shop.
Got him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, or at least he can be the customer service guy there and process returns. Yeah, but he sucks.
Yeah, he sucks.

Speaker 1 Did you see how funny that call was?

Speaker 1 He's been a terrible referee for years and years.

Speaker 1 That one was so, so funny. I don't even know what he was.
What was he calling?

Speaker 1 He was standing right there, and it was the most football play I've ever seen. And he just threw it in disgust.
Like, yeah,

Speaker 1 that's roughing the past. I'm just going to say this right now.
He's out of the running for Blake of the Year. Yep.
Sorry, Cleek Blakeman. Get out of here, dude.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 6 Before we do the next one, quick word from our friends at this season, transform your your space into an entertainer's dream with Wayfair. Everything ships fast, right to your door.

Speaker 6 Shop everything home today at Wayfair.com. That's W-A-Y-F-A-I-R.com.

Speaker 1 Wayfair, every style, every home. Seahawks Eagles.
Real quick, I want to jump back to the Raiders just for one second. Yeah.
Because I had a thought during the game.

Speaker 1 What do you think Mark Davis does when he goes out in New York?

Speaker 1 I don't know if he comes to New York. You don't think he makes that trip?

Speaker 1 I feel like he has to. That's a long time to be on a Southwest flight.

Speaker 1 I don't think that they run from Oakland.

Speaker 1 I think he's probably

Speaker 1 a ghost tour guy. Whatever city he goes to, he goes on the ghost tour and then

Speaker 1 he kind of looks like a ghost tour. He goes to the mall.
Yeah, gets some good exercise. Yeah, just walks around.

Speaker 1 Yeah, probably right. And he probably fits in pretty well.
He actually probably went to Sopranos Con. Yeah, that's right.
Rock in the jumpsuit. He did, yeah.
Bubba, what do you think?

Speaker 1 Oh, Bubba's here, by the way. Hank's not here today.
Hank's on vacation. Mall sounds pretty good.
Whoa. Mall sounds pretty good for Mark Davis.
You think he goes to Lids?

Speaker 1 I think he goes to Lids and tries on every hat and doesn't buy anything. No, I don't think he goes to Lids.
He goes to the kiosk that makes you custom hats.

Speaker 1 Like the embroidery, where they'll write something on it and just says Mark.

Speaker 1 He probably buys the Raiders hats that he doesn't know he can get for free. Yeah, right.
That's true. And he's like, oh,

Speaker 1 there's a whole box for him in his office and he doesn't know. And he's like, oh, that's a cool one.

Speaker 1 Or he thinks, like, oh, well, actually, I'm paying myself because we get the revenue split. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 So he's buying, it's a little scheme he's got in his brain where he's like, if I buy all the Raiders' gear, it's his pyramid ski, yeah, where I then get the kickback. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 I could see him going, spending a lot of time in the big dog store, but not buying anything, looking at all the shirts and just having a good laugh. Yeah.
He's like laughing out loud. And one shirt.

Speaker 1 Hun, look at this one.

Speaker 1 Oh, there's no hun. Takes a picture.
What are you talking about? No, I'm not a security guard. No, I'm talking about the employee of the.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I was like, oh, there's no, there's definitely not a Mrs. Dave looking around with him.
If you spend most of your time at Hooters and PF Changs, everyone's a hun.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's definitely, there's no real hun. Yeah,

Speaker 1 he goes to the Walmart $5 shirts and laughs at all of them.

Speaker 1 And actually, he definitely uses... He's called Big Johnson.
Yeah, he uses those jokes later on in the night at P.F. Chanks.
It's like, he's like, hey,

Speaker 1 he's a big...

Speaker 1 gives you facts from a snapple bottle kind of guy. All right, Seahawks, Eagles.

Speaker 1 We got to have a conversation about Carson Wentz. Yeah, we do.
There's actually both Carsons in this game.

Speaker 1 Bad Carson game today. Yeah, but Carson Wentz.
So

Speaker 1 I think this actually was the game. Wait, please frame it in relation to whether or not he's better than Dak Prescott.
Yeah, so

Speaker 1 I think this was the game that has finally

Speaker 1 shifted Eagles fans from being blind Carson Wentz apologists.

Speaker 1 They're not ditching him, but I could feel the tide shifting on Twitter where it's like people are starting to say, hey, when you, yeah, your receivers suck and your offensive line sucks, but when you miss a guy wide open on a three-yard out, that's not on your receiver, that's on you.

Speaker 1 And he's now had two games in a row that have looked really bad, four turnovers.

Speaker 1 Is Carson Wentz? Here's what it comes down to, PFT, and I want you to answer it. Is Carson Wentz a bad quarterback or is Carson Wentz a good quarterback going through a bad run?

Speaker 1 I think he's a good quarterback. He's a bad quarterback that has gone through good runs.

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 he got good. And I think

Speaker 1 he's been who he is his entire career. He's lost a little bit of his mobility, I think.
Whoa. Over the last two years.

Speaker 1 But I think overall, he's like a perfectly average quarterback that every now and again shows you glimpses of exactly how excited you were two years ago. So he's not a franchise quarterback then?

Speaker 1 I think he's an average franchise quarterback. That's not a franchise quarterback.
I don't know what a franchise quarterback is. I mean, it's a guy who you can basically say.
Louis Diemon.

Speaker 1 No, franchise quarterback to me is a guy who you can say for the next 10 years, we will have this quarterback and we will make the playoffs as long as he's healthy.

Speaker 1 I think I'm going to mark this in the he's injured, but he doesn't want to say how injured he is.

Speaker 1 Well, he did have an x-ray for his hand, so that's a good thing for Carson Wentz that he can kind of lean on that, not that he's trying to. But

Speaker 1 I actually think I've always kind of thought Carson Wentz was a franchise quarterback, and I still see it, but man, he was bad today. I'll put it this way: right now they're what, five and six?

Speaker 1 Five and six. Okay, they can still win the division.
They absolutely can win the division. They actually have a far easier schedule than the Cowboys.
They have the at the Dolphins, that's a win.

Speaker 1 Giants, that's a win. At the Redskins, that's a win.
So they're going to win the next three games, and then they have a home game against Dallas week 16.

Speaker 1 And if they win that, they have the Giants at the Giants week 17. So

Speaker 1 we could be sitting here in six weeks and be like, remember when Carson Wentz had that bad game and then they won five in a row? Without a doubt, because they'll get Al Shawn back.

Speaker 1 They'll get Lane Johnson back. I'm just saying, this is the first time I've felt in my own assessment of Carson Wentz that maybe he's not the guy that I thought he was.

Speaker 1 It's like if you have a bad cough,

Speaker 1 you can shake off a cough for a while, but the second that a little bit of blood comes up in your cough, you're like, now I need to go see, now something's an issue. Right.

Speaker 1 The three-yard out that you're talking about, that was the blood cough. It was like a good quarterback doesn't miss this throw unless there's a problem.
Right. So there's a problem.

Speaker 1 We don't know what's a problem. I don't know what the problem is.

Speaker 1 And I could feel

Speaker 1 Philly fans kind of being like, oh, this is weird because this is not what

Speaker 1 we've been defending. And they have a right to defend because his wide receivers have been trash and his offensive line is banged up this year.

Speaker 1 But man, there are some things you're like, that's fucking weird, man. He's not the guy that you thought he was.

Speaker 1 All right. Rest of the game.
Didn't help. The KJ Wright said after the game they knew exactly what the Eagles were doing, calling out their plays before they ran them.
That probably doesn't help.

Speaker 1 Not great. That is always a bad thing to have a defender say after the game.
Yeah, it's not great. Russell Wilson continues to be.

Speaker 1 Even his bad games are good games. Yeah, he had some misses today where it was like, what's going on with him?

Speaker 1 That was an ugly win for the Seahawks where they probably could have won by like three scores.

Speaker 1 But yeah, wins a win. I don't know what this says about me when I'm watching football, but I can identify when a flea flicker is coming before the defense can.

Speaker 1 I don't know if that's the camera angle or whatever.

Speaker 1 And I get so excited when I pick it out, when I know that it's going to be thrown back to the quarterback before the announcers know, before the defenders know on the field.

Speaker 1 Well, you have to test this now. Oh, I have to call him out? Yeah.
Okay. Because this could also be...
I think I would bet like 95% of the time.

Speaker 1 This could also be dad territory where you know how everyone's dad just calls out every play and then the three he gets right, he's like, called it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That would suck if I was a dad without the whole sex part. Right.
You just have all the worst parts of being. Because how many have you been calling? We got to see.
I nail him. No, I'm telling you.

Speaker 1 I feel like

Speaker 1 I'm nailing him at like 95, 96% clips right now. And you're saying you call it out before

Speaker 1 turns his body? Before I see the defense react to it. I diagnose a flea flicker better than any NFL defense.
Now, is that defenses are slow?

Speaker 1 Defense have. They haven't caught up to my head yet.
To your head. But are you calling it when they're like when the running back's actually throwing it backwards?

Speaker 1 I call it the second the running back takes like that one slower step that tells me he's not attacking line. All right, so yeah, we've got to see it.

Speaker 1 With Le'Vion Bell, it's very tricky with Le'Vion Bell. I should say that because he could be doing it on any game all the time.

Speaker 1 Which is why defense is what he that's probably why he averages so many yards per carry because the safeties kind of have to stay back and respect the fleet flow.

Speaker 1 So we, I mean, we watch a lot of football together, so we'll you start doing that and I will report honestly back. But I believe you.
Yeah. I just want want to see it in action.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't make this up. No, of course not, but I want to see it in action.
Okay. Because I don't think I've ever heard you do it, so now you've got to start saying it out loud.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I do say it out loud. Now

Speaker 1 you also get negative points for a flea flicker that you didn't say anything. Oh, of course.
Yeah, if it happens and you're like. If I'm caught off guard, if I bite on the play fake, yeah.

Speaker 1 That might be the first to admit it. That might even be.

Speaker 1 Minus two if you call a flea flicker. That doesn't happen.

Speaker 1 I know, because if you call, yeah, if you call it, yeah, if you call a flea flicker that isn't a flea flicker, that's an issue that's a minus two I thought you were saying that if you fail to recognize a flea flicker if you if it happens and you don't say anything that's minus one okay then you get plus one for every time you get it right okay yeah all right so we'll just tally your score on that one yeah um and you should be you should be significantly in the plus i should be i know that it will be okay all right i believe in you i believe in you thank you um so yeah the uh the eagles are probably still gonna make the playoffs somehow even though they've lost two games in a row where their offenses look terrible i still think the schedule lines up perfectly for them.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and I don't think that the Cowboys are any good right now. So I would actually bet on the Eagles making it out of the NFC.
Do it. NFC East.
Do it. All right.
Lions, Redskins, Jeff Driscoll.

Speaker 1 Nope. Nope.
Nope. He had about 1.5 Daltons on the Moxie Meter.
Two interceptions in the final minute of the game. That's hard to do.

Speaker 1 Two in the final minute. And it's not like it was garbage time.
It's not like they were. Yeah.
You needed those.

Speaker 1 This was serious time here.

Speaker 1 The big story, though, obviously, is Dwayne Haskins selfie.

Speaker 1 Was it a selfie? It was just a picture. No, he took the phone.
It was a selfie, so he thought the game was over at that point. He ran to the sidelines, was taking selfies with the fans.

Speaker 1 Meanwhile, Casey Keenum was getting pulled out onto the field to take a knee at the very end of the game.

Speaker 1 And if you thought that Joe Theisman was going to watch this and let this slide, buddy, you don't know Joe Theisman because he saw and he was like, this is Bush League stuff. And

Speaker 1 his prostate was swelling up just out of sheer anger at Dwayne.

Speaker 1 He's not going to pee for a week. Okay.

Speaker 1 I saw it, and I really don't want to think it's a big deal, but I don't think Dwayne Haskins played well enough to take a selfie while the game was still going on.

Speaker 1 I think my biggest issue was I started to think about other quarterbacks and imagining other quarterbacks doing this and finding themselves in that position.

Speaker 1 And I was having a tough time pulling out names that weren't bad quarterbacks to be compared to. Right.
Like, I could see Jameis doing this. It also, yeah, Jameis.
Well, no, Jameis is a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 1 I could see

Speaker 1 Johnny Mantel doing this. Yeah.
I could see Swag would absolutely do this. Swag would do this.
But we don't know about Swag yet. Jury's still out on him.
Swag would 100%.

Speaker 1 I think, let's see, who else that's currently in the league? Paxon Lynch. Paxon Lynch would do it for sure if you ever won again.
I can't take a picture.

Speaker 1 Actually, no, someone would ask Paxton Lynch if he would take the picture. Yeah, of us.
Yeah, of course. And stands.
Don't put yourself in it. Yeah, you're right.
And your weird mustache.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, I really don't.

Speaker 1 Because it is one of those weird things where if you are too mad about it, and I'm not mad about it at all, but if you're too mad about it, you're telling on yourself that it's like, come on, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 But he did not play well enough to do that. If he had four touchdowns and 400 yards, I'd be like, fuck it.
Do whatever you want.

Speaker 1 He's in that spot where he's been so bad and Redskins fans want him to be good that just winning a game where he's not even good and they're like, look at it. He's coming along.

Speaker 1 And he was, I think he completed less than half of his passes, and he had an interception and no touchdowns. They won.
They won. I think it was his first career win, actually.
Right.

Speaker 1 Right. Maybe that's how I'll explain this away in my own day.
He was excited to get that first win in front of that huge homefield event. But you know, I mean,

Speaker 1 I can tell you, I obviously do the same thing. I spent the fucking first five minutes of the show saying Mitch was good.
Or I think he said he was average. He probably wasn't.

Speaker 1 But when you're so bad that you have to convince yourself, even a halfway decent or not even a halfway decent, like a not bad performance is somehow good, that's when you know you're in a bad spot.

Speaker 1 Well, also, Dwayne's young. Yeah.
He's really young. Yeah.
So, I mean, I can't blame him too much for that. I'm not mad at him for doing that at all.
No,

Speaker 1 but it's just like a class. It was a weird move.
I can't imagine it happening to a competent organization. Confetti quarterback? No.
We'll see. I mean, it's just a weird quarterback.

Speaker 1 It means you can close your eyes and picture them getting confetti on their face in the Super Bowl. I'm so delusional.

Speaker 1 I can close my eyes and imagine any quarterback getting confetti because I'm not going to be able to get Steven Che.

Speaker 1 No, but I just think I'm putting it not mad, weird move. Weird move.
And doesn't really make sense with how he played. Okay.
I can agree to that. Yeah.
I also made a note here at the end of the game.

Speaker 1 Dustin Hopkins, before he kicked that field goal, he was standing on the sidelines next to the space heater that they have, just holding his leg out, holding his shoe, his right foot, directly in front of the space heater, heating it up.

Speaker 1 And I love, I'm a sucker.

Speaker 1 I am a sucker for any sort of story about a kicker doing weird shit to their shoe. You've got to get hot.

Speaker 1 I think the Redskins had a kicker a few years ago who would bake his shoe in an oven for a couple hours before the game to shrink it so it would be like three sizes smaller than the normal.

Speaker 1 I just like a good kicker shoe story. I agree.
I agree. You have to get hot any way you can.
So the Lions season was already over, but it's really over.

Speaker 1 Don't bring Matt Stafford back is really what the Lions should be focused on. And

Speaker 1 Matt Patricia? I would have liked to see better posture out of Matt Patricia. It's not going well.
It's not going well for the Lions.

Speaker 1 Thanksgiving Day is going to be very interesting when the Bears play the Lions.

Speaker 1 It's an affront to football and the sport we love. To have those two teams playing? Yeah.
It's going to be terrible. To me, that is the epitome of Thanksgiving for it.
It's going to be really bad.

Speaker 1 Take the under. The Lions should have to play and lose to the worst team in the NFL everything.

Speaker 1 And I mean, I don't. Actually, no, I want the Bears Bears to win because remember, I think they'd be back.
But my big thing is the Bears tanking for strength of schedule.

Speaker 1 Oh, for next year, they get to play the division losers. They don't have their first round pick.
The other division losers. Yeah, it's only two games that matter to change schedule-wise.

Speaker 1 But that's kind of cool. But yeah, no, you'd rather play those teams.
Yeah, I'd rather play those two teams.

Speaker 1 Okay, Tennessee-Jacksonville.

Speaker 1 I don't know what to make of Tennessee. They're so confusing.
I wrote down

Speaker 1 some of their wins and losses this year. They beat the Browns 43-13.
They beat the Chiefs last week or two weeks ago. They beat the Jaguars today 42-20.
They lost to the Broncos 16-0,

Speaker 1 and they lost to the Jaguars 20-7.

Speaker 1 They are schizophrenic, but I think they are our biggest case of

Speaker 1 did something, did they light the spark? Did they turn the corner when they beat the Chiefs? I think that. Can we say that? I think maybe.
I mean, Derrick Henry is a problem.

Speaker 1 Like, impossible to solve. I got staff for you.
Ready? Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 Derrick Henry, after November 10th, from November 10th or later, since 2017, so late in the season, the last three years, he's averaging 5.74 yards per carry. Guys just don't want to tackle him.

Speaker 1 Are you fucking kidding me? I wouldn't want to tackle him either.

Speaker 1 I want to give a shout out to whoever it was that somehow kept Derrick Henry from being switched positions when he was like in high school. Yes.

Speaker 1 Because you know that there was a coach at some point that was like, this is going to be a tight end.

Speaker 1 This guy's going to be a defensive end or like an offensive tackle or something like that.

Speaker 1 He was so big, and he's always been big his entire life, but for some reason, Derrick Henry was able to be like, fuck you, I'm going to be a running back

Speaker 1 and not get pushed to a different position, which is crazy for someone that's six foot three and like 245 pounds.

Speaker 1 So whoever that person was in Derrick Henry's life, I want to thank you for not allowing him to be bullied. I'd agree with that.

Speaker 1 I like that take.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 he really is a guy you just don't want to tackle. And

Speaker 1 he scored two touchdowns today in 16 seconds. That game was crazy because it was 7-3 and a half, and then you blinked, and it was all of a sudden a game being played in the 30s and 40s.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think just from a physical standpoint of having to run into the end zone twice in the span of 16 seconds, that's just impressive on its own. Yes.
Right there.

Speaker 1 And one of them was like a 70-yard touchdown. Yeah, right? Yeah, yeah.
And then they fumbled the kickoff the Jaguars did, and then he scored again. Yeah, that's very, very impressive.

Speaker 1 Are the Titans going to convince themselves that Ryan Tannehill is the guy? He is the guy. Change of scenery is all it took for Ryan Tannehill.

Speaker 1 He needs a movie. It's going to be tragic because they're going to give him like a three-year deal and then next year he's going to be just Ryan Tannehill again.
Uh-huh. Well, that's fine.

Speaker 1 That's fine. It's so tragic.

Speaker 1 He's going to take the next step. He is in the process.
What we're seeing right now is him taking the next step in front of our very eyes.

Speaker 1 And that's the difference between good Nashville and bad Nashville. Yeah.
Is Ryan Tannehill is now playing.

Speaker 1 So the Titans are officially one of those teams because now the AFC, as bad as the AFC is, it's made for a really fun

Speaker 1 last month and a half of football because you have like three or four teams that are all in there, like could make the playoffs, and the Titans are one of them. The Titans are six and five.

Speaker 1 They get hot. They play the Colts next week.
That's another loser-leaves town game. So the Titans and Colts are both six and five.
Raiders six and five. Steelers six and five.
And Browns five and six.

Speaker 1 All those teams could be the team that gets hot and gets that six-seed and goes in the playoffs. I think that it was just today, right, that the Dolphins were eliminated from playoff contention.

Speaker 1 Oh, they might have been, yeah. There are a lot of teams that are still in the hunt, is what I'm getting at.
Yes, there are a lot of teams still in the hunt.

Speaker 1 Did you see that there was a big bust of illegal bologna that was coming across the border in El Paso? Really? It was like a record-setting bust of frozen bologna.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was going to say Marone was probably pretty broken. He might have had something to do with it.

Speaker 1 He might be the El Chapo of lunch meets.

Speaker 1 What do the Jaguars do now?

Speaker 1 I think you just go back to Jacksonville, play some golf.

Speaker 1 That's tough. Here's what they do.
Verbal meme. Doug Marone is Wolverine, and he's looking at a picture, and the picture is Blake Bortles.
Yep. That's a fact.
That's a fact.

Speaker 1 You don't know what you got until it's gone. And that's what the Jags are dealing with right now.

Speaker 1 You know it, Jags fans.

Speaker 1 At least Blake was fun. Nick Foles is just depressing when he's playing and not playing well.
Maybe put Gardner in. Spark? Do you put Gardner in if Spark is again?

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you're out of playoff contention. Another Spark.
All right, before we do the last game, PFT, why don't you do a quick ad?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I want to talk to you guys about our good, good friends at Give It Up for Chicago.

Speaker 7 Sebastian Manascalco's new stand-up special, It Ain't Right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st.

Speaker 1 30 years ago, Jeff Bezos, complete nerd. Bezos now ripped to shreds on his super yacht.
And the boxes keep

Speaker 1 coming.

Speaker 7 Sebastian Maniscalco, It Ain't Right. Premieres November 21st, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers.
Terms apply.

Speaker 1 I love this tweet by Kevin Slane that we just retweeted. A tale of the completely broken online sports model in three acts.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Part of my take posts an obviously photoshopped image of a Redskins fan protest as a joke. What do you mean, obviously? That's not obvious.

Speaker 1 Craigs did an excellent job of making them not look like characters. It's close to obvious.
They looked like...

Speaker 1 You had to at least open the picture. That's true.

Speaker 1 To know it was obvious. That's true.
Without zooming in at all, it didn't look completely fake. It's true.

Speaker 1 A single, likely overworked blogger gets fooled. I don't know why you have to just go with that.
Likely overworked. How do we know? Single, like what?

Speaker 1 Dude, it's tired to just be like, oh, yeah, all bloggers don't, you know, they fuck their hands. Oh, got it.
Yeah. So overworked.
Oh, you mean he doesn't? All bloggers are overworked.

Speaker 1 Ah, blogger, not a single, like, marital status. All right.
Content sharing means false story ends up on four plus outlets.

Speaker 1 And by four plus outlets, he means

Speaker 1 Yard Barker

Speaker 1 Sports Not. It's all from Yard Barker, and it's like

Speaker 1 Facebook. Distinct Athletics.
Yardbarker.com.com. No, I have that bookmarked.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, that's the broken model. Sorry.
Sorry by us.

Speaker 1 We shouldn't have done this clearly obvious. Again, I don't think it was clearly obvious.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Patriots, Cowboys, to end the recap. Hank's not here.
Liam's here. Do you want to call him? Yeah.
He actually just texted me as we were recording. Like, yo, everything Gucci.
Okay.

Speaker 1 And then was like, being real nice, like, how'd your move go?

Speaker 1 So he's definitely going to fall for it when I'm going to go. I feel bad.
All right. So Hank's not here.
So before we do that, let's read. Also, we had a backup plan.

Speaker 1 Our good friend Tom Fernelli, who has a rivalry with Hank, we were going to call him. Turns out Tom's not a real football guy because he's going to go sweep at like midnight.

Speaker 1 Classic single overworked blogger. Dude, it's midnight on a Sunday.
You go sweep.

Speaker 1 It's actually 1 a.m. All right.
He wrote, I had these ready to go if we had called him. Tom Brady wants to play till he's 50 but can't complete 50% of his passes.
Oh, that's it.

Speaker 1 So he was going to say that as Hank. I say this as Hank when we called him.

Speaker 1 It's okay that the Cowboys got called for a bullshit penalty because it makes up for the times the NFL wouldn't let the Patriots get away with cheating. That's true.
No, that's true.

Speaker 1 And then follow me on Twitter at Henny's, which is totally not a nickname I gave myself a 15. That burns.
That is tough. And that's our good friend Tom Fernelli continuing the rivalry.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's. So Hank is taking a vacation, just a one-day vacation.
He's not here.

Speaker 1 And we thought we'd call him and have Liam just be like, the recording got fucked up, and PFT and Big Cat already left. And what should I do? So just don't even

Speaker 1 just say, just run with it. We're not even going to ask him about the Patriots game because I don't want to hear him get mad about turnover luck and everything.
No, he's moved on.

Speaker 1 Now he's on penalty luck. Penalty luck.
So just fuck with him. Be really serious.
And then at the end, we'll just be like, you're just kidding, dude. We're at the Patriots segment of the

Speaker 1 show.

Speaker 1 He's probably drunk. He's probably really drunk.
He's definitely drunk.

Speaker 1 Celebrating a big win.

Speaker 1 Yo.

Speaker 1 Yo,

Speaker 1 I just closed audition, and

Speaker 1 like, I just...

Speaker 1 The files seem like it's just not the right size for, like, what it is. They're still...
I'm still uploading them right now.

Speaker 1 Can I just FaceTime you? And then, like, you'll just see. Alright.

Speaker 1 Alright. So then I'll just have you FaceTime him.
Yeah. Yeah.
Alright, give it to me.

Speaker 1 He's going to be so sad.

Speaker 1 He's drunk right now and he's pissed.

Speaker 1 Are you asleep?

Speaker 1 Why are you going to bed so early? We're still doing the show. We're doing the show.
The files aren't corrupt at all. The files are fine.

Speaker 1 Wow, that's good. Were you mad? Were you upset? Were you scared? I was very scared.
I wasn't mad. All right.
Okay, we'll see you tomorrow. Congrats on the Patriots, Hank.

Speaker 1 We're actually at the Patriots portion of the show right now. You have anything to say about turnover luck?

Speaker 1 Nope.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. Sorry, my bad.
That sucks at the bottom cut off.

Speaker 1 All right, Patriots Cowboys.

Speaker 1 Jason Garrett's a fucking idiot.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 to be fair to Jason Garrett, he had his mind played with all week by master puppet master Bill Belichick. So Belichick was talking about a story.
There was a story out in the news this week that

Speaker 1 Belichick wanted to be the Cowboys' head coach back in the day when he got fired from the Browns slash Ravens that he wanted to coach for the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 And then Garrett had to deal with all the media fallout that came from that and just imagining that Jerry Jones would much rather have Belichick than him. Yes.

Speaker 1 So like knowing that his boss knows that he made a mistake going down this path. Okay, fair.

Speaker 1 But he's dumb. And exactly what we thought would happen would happen.
He got out-coached, which isn't really...

Speaker 1 I mean, Bill Belichick's the best coach in NFL history, but Jason Garrett really, truly is stupid.

Speaker 1 Ezekiel Elliott was running and running well.

Speaker 1 And the Patriots, if you had one thing that you could say about them, it's probably that you can run on them a little bit because their past defense is fantastic.

Speaker 1 Stephon Gilmore is the defensive player of the year, but he touched the ball. I think he had six rushes in the second half.
And then he did the Dan Quinn special down seven

Speaker 1 with six minutes left to go. Fourth and seven on the Patriots 11.
You're in New England. You're trying to beat the New England Patriots.
You kicked a field goal. It's more points.

Speaker 1 You kicked a field goal, you fucking idiot. Why? I don't know.

Speaker 1 Because the camera kept cutting back from Jason Garrett to Belichick, and they both were wet, and the wind was blowing on the sidelines, and it looked like it had ad for the lighthouse, and Garrett got all panicky and was like, I better take the points while I can on the road.

Speaker 1 And then it turns out that the math didn't quite work out in his favor on that one.

Speaker 1 You can't expect me to be perfect.

Speaker 1 I'm actually at the point, too, because Jerry Jones did an all-time Jerry Jones in the hallway press conference after, where he said, with the makeup of this team, I shouldn't be this frustrated.

Speaker 1 We have the talent, so the talent isn't the problem.

Speaker 1 What else could it be?

Speaker 1 Right. So, Jerry, this is you're at a point now where, guess what? I don't feel bad for you, dude.
You should have fired him a while ago. It's on you.

Speaker 1 The fact that he's still the coach, you can't be mad. That is your fault.
And he gave him a vote of confidence, too. And he gave him a vote of confidence.

Speaker 1 He said he's going to be our coach for the rest of the season. Has there ever been a coach that's been fired in the same year?

Speaker 1 Let's say that the Cowboys were in first place in week 15 or whatever, and they go on to win that division. Has there ever been a coach fired right before their team won the division?

Speaker 1 Right before the playoff game. Right before the playoffs.
I could see him doing it.

Speaker 1 It's just crazy to me that Jerry Jones keeps complaining about Jason Garrett when you are the one person who can change this problem.

Speaker 1 It's, I mean, it really is.

Speaker 1 It's the drill tweet. Like someone helped me with my budget.
Yeah. He's

Speaker 1 $15,000 on candles every month. Yeah.
And you're spending too much money

Speaker 1 on a bad coach. It would be helpful if Jason Garrett ever said a word.
And I know we mentioned it earlier, but he really doesn't talk ever. And it's bizarre.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 For as much time as he gets on the camera, his beady little mouth

Speaker 1 never opens up. So I don't know what he does in terms of coaching.
Right. What decisions is he making?

Speaker 1 I think he just, yeah, I don't know. He just kind of hangs out and beats up on really bad teams, which

Speaker 1 I want to have a little discussion about Dak Prescott for a second here.

Speaker 1 Dak Prescott, who has been very good this year, Dak Prescott, whenever he plays like a big-time opponent, it feels like he doesn't step up to it. And,

Speaker 1 you know, the Patriots defenses will make anyone not look great, but he is 5-13 against winning teams since 2016. So really not great.
So really not great.

Speaker 1 And when you think about the games this year, like, okay, they lost to the Saints in New Orleans. They lost to the Packers at home.
They lost to the Vikings at home.

Speaker 1 They lost to the Patriots in New England. They have beaten up on some really shitty teams, and the rest of the schedule has been not so great.
But fortunately for him, he plays in the NFC East. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So he gets to play six games against really shitty teams.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying, don't you have that feeling where Dak Prescott, he's got to win one of these big games for me to be like, okay, now I really feel. Because he is a good quarterback, and you can't.

Speaker 1 He's not, like, he is, I don't know, wherever you want to the floating tiers or whatever. He's probably somewhere in the top seven.
Whatever you want to see. If you look at Troy Aikman's analysis,

Speaker 1 he's in command of the second best offense in the NFL. Like, Dak Prescott is definitely, if you say yes or no, should we pay this guy? It's a yes, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 So I'm not even saying that, oh, they should have hesitation or second thoughts.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying I'd like to see him go into a hostile environment or even have a good team come to Dallas and have a really, really great performance.

Speaker 1 And I guess he kind of had it against the Vikings and their play calling fell apart there.

Speaker 1 But I don't know, it just felt like there were some plays that could have been had, and it just never happened.

Speaker 1 At the very minimum, I would like to see my quarterback not get his ass kicked by random people in Panama City. Yes, that to me is one of those things where it's like

Speaker 1 if you can't defend yourself in the bro capital of spring break after a couple jello shots, how are you going to be able to go out there at Foxborough in the wind, in the rain, with the smudgy cameras that we somehow still can't figure out how to get water off of camera lenses in the year 2019, GoPros.

Speaker 1 We should make that go reviral again. Which ones? Yeah.
The Dak Prescott videos. Remember when we did that? Oh, yeah.
Like last year?

Speaker 1 Just every spring break, we should just do it. And then he gets comments about it.

Speaker 1 No, Dak Prescott is one of those quarterbacks, though, because we do this with a lot of...

Speaker 1 There's guys who win Super Bowls, and then there's everyone else. And for everyone else, it's a

Speaker 1 pretty black and white. Either you're a Dak Prescott guy or you're not.
And you don't really, there's no nuance in there. I like Dak Prescott a lot.
I think he's a very good quarterback.

Speaker 1 I think he's a guy you've got to give money to. I just don't, I can't remember the last time he won a big, big game.

Speaker 1 We have to come up with levels, our own names of the different levels for quarterbacks because I think where he's at right now is the

Speaker 1 best good quarterback. He is, you know what he is? He is right now taking over the seat that Matthew Stafford is leaving vacant.

Speaker 1 Like a guy who is a

Speaker 1 good quarterback, sometimes very good quarterback, tons of talent, can win you games by himself, but you still haven't seen him have that big, big moment.

Speaker 1 The thing about Dak, though, is I don't think that Dak loses too many games for you. Yeah, that's true.
Because he always can blame JC Garrett. He also has a lot better talent than the Lions.

Speaker 1 But yes, yeah, I just, I don't know. It's just an interesting thing I've been thinking about a lot with Dak because I think he has been phenomenal this year.

Speaker 1 But then I went back and looked and I was like, damn, remember, remember when I started 3-0? We're like, the Cowboys are the best team in the NFC. He's the best.
Beat no one.

Speaker 1 He's the best good quarterback. It's occasionally peaking at like the worst great quarterback.
Right, right. He is in my.
I always had the tears of suck.

Speaker 1 It's just you have quarterbacks that can win you a Super Bowl, and everyone else sucks. He's the best sucky right now.
But that doesn't feel right. No, because he's better than that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's better than that. That is my point.
He's better than suck. Right.
That's actually, that's the level that he's at right now. Right.
Okay, so he's the suckiest quarterback that doesn't suck.

Speaker 1 Right. Got it.
I think think so. Uh-huh.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Nobody's better than Carson Wentz. Yes.
Right now.

Speaker 1 At this point,

Speaker 1 I would rather have Dak Prescott.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So that is, those are, I guess the patriots.

Speaker 1 Here's what Dak Prescott does. He has the ability to make Skip Bayless look sane at times in Skip's blind allegiance to Dak.

Speaker 1 Occasionally, one out of every three games, I'm like, Skip Bayless knew something. I don't know.
He'll do something.

Speaker 1 You're like, man, this guy, when he gets, you know, he'll be like running well or, you know, like play action, hitting guys on the run. And you're like, damn, this guy's awesome.

Speaker 1 And then he'll play a game like today where

Speaker 1 he wasn't the reason the Cowboys lost, but I think he could have been the reason the Cowboys won. There it is.

Speaker 1 I finally got to it.

Speaker 1 He could have won that game for the Cowboys if he had elevated his game an extra spot. Yep.
Skip Bayless isn't going to be throwing his jersey into the trash this week. Right.

Speaker 1 But he might put it in the penis height microwave for just like a a couple seconds. There it is.
Just to let it know. Yes.
You're not above this.

Speaker 1 The Cowboys' defense played well enough to have Dak Prescott win that game for him.

Speaker 1 And then the Patriots are just going to keep winning games ugly. And I don't think anyone, I mean, I know no one on the Patriots cares, but this is just their M.O.

Speaker 1 Like they just kind of beat up teams with their defense, which is all-time. And their offense, I don't think their offense is ever going to click.
Like, I don't think, because they just don't have

Speaker 1 Nikhil Harry looks good, but like, they don't have those difference makers like a Gronk or an Antonio Brown or a Josh Gordon when he's healthy kind of guy. I'm going to play Hank's role real quick.

Speaker 1 Okay. You can do your pod.
Well, they don't need to, big cat. Yeah.
They don't have to.

Speaker 1 They like winning ugly right now, and they're winning in a way that is utterly demoralizing for anyone that's trying to play them. And if you look at their offense, yeah,

Speaker 1 they don't have like a big play wide receiver, but they got Julian Edelman, future Hall of Famer, that's proven that he's the best wide receiver in the history of the NFL in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Well, and you forgot one thing: there's still a 50% chance that Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski come back. Together.
Together.

Speaker 1 Also, Nikhil Harry might be a better wide receiver than Josh Gordon or Antonio Brown ever was. True.
If you saw that catch today, did you see Gottlieb? Oh my God, I got to pull up this Gottlieb.

Speaker 1 I can tell you that I did not. What would you?

Speaker 1 Oh, it was a good Gottlieb. We need to start treating Gottlieb like we do Rick Riley because he does drop Gottlieb sometimes.
They're like, that's a Gottlieb. Like, that was a good.

Speaker 1 Wait, Steel's tweets? That's a true Gottlieb. That's a true.

Speaker 1 Okay, he wrote

Speaker 1 when Nikhil Harry dropped a ball. He wrote,

Speaker 1 can't drop that. Okay.
A lot of people. That's Godly.
Yeah, that's good. That's a godly.

Speaker 1 Holy shit. And it had zero retweets.
Yikes. That's still

Speaker 1 to this day. Eight hours ago.

Speaker 1 How many likes? 24 likes. He has 264,000 followers.
Jesus. How hard that is to do a tweet with that many followers? You would have to try.
I don't think I could. I don't think either of us could.

Speaker 1 What was the one that he had the other week? It was like he took out some letters because there was no D. Oh, yeah, that was

Speaker 1 fuck. It was really good.
Yeah, there was no D. I can't remember.
Might have. I don't know.
There was no D. It was so good.
And I was like,

Speaker 1 this is a really good tweet, Doug. Oh, it's Portland.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Portland.

Speaker 1 Trailblazer.

Speaker 1 He's so bad at Twitter. Oh, fuck.

Speaker 1 Yeah, someone replied. And then it's just, it's going to suck to be him because, like, every time you tweet, someone just replied, can't, steal, and credit.
That's true. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 Never forget, never forget. Nope.
Nope. Never forgive, never forget.

Speaker 1 Okay, so let's go. Let's move on to who's back.
PF, you got one more ad? Yeah, I do. All right.

Oh.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, I'll probably do something, but not without blackout.
You can still blackout even if you're not with high school friends. Yeah.
Just blackout. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I've never understood why that's the big drinking night instead of Friday. I always feel like Friday is the better night to go out because you don't have to worry about being hungover at Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 I think you can be hungover on Thanksgiving. The only like two things you don't need to do are get a DUI or end up on the barstool Instagram page.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
It also

Speaker 1 is an age thing. I don't think you can be hungover like in your 30s.

Speaker 1 Then it's like, okay, everyone's sitting watching you in Thanksgiving. Like, what's going on? Yeah.
Is there an issue here? Get your act together. Right.

Speaker 1 Whereas, like, when it's like, it's like almost cute and funny when you're in your 20s. Yeah.
It's like, oh, that's so funny. When I was 29, the night before Thanksgiving, I broke a toilet.

Speaker 1 There you go. That was pretty cool.
And you weren't even drunk. But no, it was like, that's great.
Like, classic PFT, breaking a toilet. Going out with a bed.
I'm so young and crazy.

Speaker 1 And now that I'm in my 30s, if I break a toilet, it's like we have a problem. Yeah, we have to talk about this.
Because, well, mostly because it would be your second toilet breaking.

Speaker 1 Yeah, then at that point, it's a pattern. Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 All right, PFT, what do you got?

Speaker 1 You have another one? Oh, well, you have two. Did you see the pants video? I was going to say pants are bad.
Incredible. Yeah.
Incredible.

Speaker 1 He puts on one leg and then a shoe and then the other leg and then the shoe. Yeah.
Clearly, somebody who doesn't know how to put pants on. He has not, I mean, he hasn't put pants on in 18 years.

Speaker 1 You're out of practice for 18 years and anything. You're not going to remember how to do it.
He's going to feel so weird tonight. Like, just having pants on? You think he goes to sleep in the pants?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 No, I bet you rips them off the second he has a chance. He probably does.
There's probably a small part of him that's kind of upset that they won. Yeah.
That's what I was saying to him. It's like

Speaker 1 when you lived a life of luxury wearing shorts all the time for 19 years, then you have to go back. And everyone knows you as the shorts guy.
Yeah. You had like a little bit.

Speaker 1 That like little level of fame, just kind of like very small community-based fame is kind of a cool thing to have. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I bet he feels like, you know, when they make Dwight Schroot wear like the long-sleeve shirts? Yes.

Speaker 1 That's exactly what I mean. What if his legs develop an allergy to pants like that hockey goalie had a couple years ago? Yeah.
Pads.

Speaker 1 Just breaks out.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It breaks out in a rash on his shins.
Not good.

Speaker 1 All right. Who's your who's back, PFT? My who's back of the week is the NCAA.

Speaker 1 Why? The NCAA is back big time because so Wiseman,

Speaker 1 they're going to let him play. Yep.
They're allowing him back at Memphis, but he has to pay $1,400 in fines to the NCAA. Okay.
Which is just, I applaud the NCAA for figuring out a way to

Speaker 1 find your players who aren't allowed to be making money and expect them to pay you to come back and play.

Speaker 1 It's next level super villainery. So congratulations for innovation.
The NCAA is terrible, and we agree in that. But it is funny when everyone's like, you're finding a guy who gets paid nothing.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure James Wiseman's got paid.

Speaker 1 They figured that out. He's making money.

Speaker 1 He should be making money above board, and he should be making a lot more money. He should be making market value.
But James Wiseman's making money.

Speaker 1 It actually might be a trap. If I'm advising Wiseman, if you're able to pay a $1,400 fine back to the NCAA, they might just suspend you and be like, how are you able to afford to pay this? Right.

Speaker 1 Well, and then Jay Williams in classic fucking Duke fashion, he's doing like a GoFundMe.

Speaker 1 So then he's going to donate it to James Wiseman and get Memphis, like, you know, they're going to get the death penalty.

Speaker 1 Oh, so he's trying to eliminate because he thinks that Memphis could potentially beat Duke later on. Probably.
Trying to get rid of their best player. Right.

Speaker 1 Right. Okay.
Right. Is this a recruiting violation in some way? Hopefully.
For Duke? Hopefully. Yeah.
Well, they won't, it won't matter. Coach K will just pay off the fucking NCAA.

Speaker 1 We should just start finding people. He always does.
Is the NCAA even allowed to fine people? I never remember this being part of their MO before just now.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I feel like if you issue a fine to somebody with enough confidence and just hope that they pay you, you probably get it right once every two or three times.
Well, basically,

Speaker 1 through this entire process of paying players and all this discussion about what the NCAA does,

Speaker 1 it's essentially come down to the fact that the NCAA

Speaker 1 just is that guy in your friend group who organizes shit.

Speaker 1 And no one wants to be the guy who organizes shit. So they're like, what does the NCAA do? Like, well, they kind of organize, you know, like the schedules.
They made reservations at

Speaker 1 places. And they, you know, like, everyone has to play each other, and then they like, they get the gym time, they get the ice time.
It's like, well, yeah, actually, you know what?

Speaker 1 I don't really want to do that. You know what Memphis should do? Memphis should just pay the head of the NCAA by allowing him to attend a freshman philosophy course.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's probably worth about $1,500. Yes, right there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you get to take the intro to

Speaker 1 Earth Sciences and sit in a classroom with 500 people. Sneaky hard class.
Earth sciences? yeah i remember that was hard

Speaker 1 i think dinosaurs is another class i took that was very hard human anthropology was a tricky one for me actually you know what i was in this one class that i got a d minus in but it was the class that i probably uh am the most proud of i learned how to read ekg results and i i was allowed into the class by mistake And so it was like a 400-level biology class where I was basically taking this course alongside doctors.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And I had to teach myself like how to what the human heart was made out of.
And I ended up passing it by like the skin of my teeth, but somehow I got out of it.

Speaker 1 It's a sick flash, yeah, it was a sick flash. I'm big, you're a doctor right now.

Speaker 1 If I basically told a totally inconsequential story to say you're a doctor, yeah, if I read your EKG results right now, I could tell you how big the different chambers of your heart were.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you'd be like, Yeah, that is you do, you do eat too much chili. Uh-huh.
That's the way the prognosis would be. Do you have any other who's back?

Speaker 1 Uh, yeah, my other who's back of the week is weed. Yeah, so uh, Arizona State versus Oregon on Saturday night.
Was awesome. It was an awesome game.

Speaker 1 The ref got on the mic and he said, please reset the game clock to four minutes and 20 seconds. Oh, and

Speaker 1 the crowd went nuts. The Arizona State students went nuts.
And probably Arizona State and Oregon, I would guess, smoke the most weed. Nah, Arizona State's ecstasy.
As a combined

Speaker 1 Molly. But when you come down.
That's true. Yeah.
How would you know? I don't know. Drug guy.

Speaker 1 That is awesome. That's an awesome moment.
Pac-12 After Dark. That game was very fun to watch.

Speaker 1 All right, Mai, who's back of the week. I got two.

Speaker 1 Feast week, just feast week in general, and all the sports. This is when your eyes bleed because you just watch college basketball all day.

Speaker 1 And then football, that when Thursday starts, and you have Football Day Thanksgiving, and then that Friday is one of the sneaky favorite days because it has the start of rivalry week and you have random games at like noon on a Friday.

Speaker 1 Is that the Egg Bowl? The Egg Bowl is played Thursday night. Okay.
But like Nebraska, Iowa is always Friday, which is awesome to watch.

Speaker 1 I think Virginia, Virginia Tech, like random games I love watching on that Friday.

Speaker 1 And then you have a full, then you still have a full college football weekend in front of you. So there's nothing better.
And then.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's also rivalry week means the reintroduction of prank wars between two schools that have played each other every year.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 the other who's back is people getting really mad about

Speaker 1 regional foods on Twitter. This is a big week for that.
For Thanksgiving? Yeah, just like food takes in general get very annoying around Thanksgiving time.

Speaker 1 You know, someone's going to do the cranberry sauce debate. Someone's going to do the stuffing is actually overrated debate.
It's actually called dressing. I've heard the pumpkin pie stuff.

Speaker 1 I've heard the like, oh, do you have ham?

Speaker 1 You know, like people do that. It just sucks.
The whole thing sucks.

Speaker 1 It turns out you probably eat something different than someone else in a different part of the country or has a different like ethnic background than you. Crazy.
But you know what?

Speaker 1 We can all come together and agree that eating a shitload of food is

Speaker 1 really good. That's the thing.
So just whatever food you like growing up in whatever region you grew up in, just make sure to eat three times the normal amount of it. And then, you know what?

Speaker 1 You get a stomachache no matter what part of the country you're from if you get too full. And that's the greatest part of the year.
Point out the guy who's going to be like, oh, yeah, actually,

Speaker 1 the green bean casserole is my favorite. Or like, oh, I put marshmallows in this.

Speaker 1 You know how everyone just does this for the entire entire week?

Speaker 1 Just stop. We've done this debate a billion times.
I will say, don't go around putting raisins and shit that raisins don't need to be. No, don't do that.
Don't do that. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 You don't do that. Do you put raisins and shit? I don't care.
You put raisins in your food? I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 Yeah, all right. You did do that.
Don't do that. I triggered you.
I'm so

Speaker 1 that viral tweet that's like going around, like controversial food take. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 Yes. Look at the replies to that.
Some of them are like absolutely hilarious, where it's like people being dead serious. Like a guy said, St.
Louis has the best Chinese food in the world. Fat

Speaker 1 like that. A guy was like, I like

Speaker 1 ranch on my steak instead of barbecue sauce. So Twitter.
I can see Hank doing that. Yeah, yo, definitely.

Speaker 1 Twitter by nature, like there will always be an underlying food debate that's like simmering on Twitter. But there are certain times where food debates take over your entire timeline.

Speaker 1 You're like, this sucks. That happens right now.
And then it's like when diehard is. I was going to say, that's

Speaker 1 Golix. don't do it, Golix and Troy Wingo.
We like you, Golix. We're a Golak family, don't do it.
But yeah, it's when these stupid, annoying debates take over the entire timeline. You're like, stop.

Speaker 1 Oh, you know what? Another big one is eggnog. Good or bad.
Yep. Yep.

Speaker 1 Why do we do this every year? Yep. You either like it, like you like it or you don't.
So I like the simmering food debates where it's like you can actively ignore the food debates going on Twitter.

Speaker 1 When it gets to a point like this week where we are forced to read them all, that's when it sucks.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Oh, Turduckens are back, too. Yes.
Turduckens are back big tucked. We should do a big Turducken.
And just have the center of it be a Devlin Hodges.

Speaker 1 We should have Hank fry a turkey when it's frozen and blow himself up. Indoors.
Just do all the stuff. He's not going to listen to this, so he won't even know.
Uh-huh. We should do that.

Speaker 1 You know who the real turkey is?

Speaker 1 Obama. Obama.
Obama. All right.
See Geek question. PFT.
Promo code take $10 to SeatGeek. My SeeGeek question is.
I get six Redskins tickets for that. Six Redskins tickets.
Damn.

Speaker 1 You can buy enough to do a whole protest. Yeah, can you kidnap enough people against their will to take them to a Redskins game for free? This is why the media is broken.

Speaker 1 See Keek question, promo code take $10 off.

Speaker 1 Do you want to do Football Guy of the Week? Yeah, let's do Football Key of the World. Let's do Football Guy of the Week.
That was a Seat

Speaker 1 question.

Speaker 1 We're at American Ninja Warrior time, by the way. American Ninja Warrior Warrior is on 140 at night.
What's the name of the guy? It's like Andy Weed. Yeah, like the Kelly Weed or something.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's the CrossFit version of Dick Wolf. These guys, and it's also, the weird part is, it's like

Speaker 1 old American Ninja Warrior. This clearly was filmed like four or five years ago.
Yeah. Who cares? Once one person.
You know what these guys are?

Speaker 1 These guys are the Bengals fan that is living on his roof to get away from his wife.

Speaker 1 They're that exact guy, except they construct an obstacle course in their backyard that they spend nine hours on from sun up to sundown to get away from their family.

Speaker 1 And the best part about American Ninja Warrior, these guys are great athletes, but they should, you know, how there's this wall I think they have to climb, the big wall to finish? Yeah.

Speaker 1 It shouldn't be a wall. It should just be someone standing there with a baseball and throws it to them and see if they can catch it.

Speaker 1 I guarantee you they can't. None of those guys can triple a basketball.
No, no, that should be the final challenge. Like, here, catch this football.
That's it. And then they all drop it.

Speaker 1 Wouldn't that be hilarious if they all like climb these huge walls, do this obstacle course, swim through this thing, go through this net, and then you just throw him a full five-yard out and he can't catch it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, their bodies are idiot savants. Like, Einstein couldn't tie his shoes.
No, Einstein. He could build a nuclear bomb.
Married his cousin. Which is way cooler.
Two. Smartest guy in the world.

Speaker 1 Married his cousin. People don't talk about that enough.

Speaker 1 Did you know that?

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's fucked up.
So did FDR.

Speaker 1 Marrying your cousins. Wow, when you see a hot piece of ass like Ellen.
Like Eleanor. Yeah.
The late 30s. Very handsome woman.
I think we, as a society, had a moment for Marion Cousins. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Is Marion Cousins having a moment? I don't know. It is.

Speaker 1 That's right. Pantheon.
Especially high at the end of the show. Is that in your pantheon of incest? Okay.

Speaker 1 Raiders.

Speaker 1 Football guy of the week. Let's get this back together.
We're on track. Raiders head coach, John Gruden, for calling ref a fucking cocksucking motherfucker.
He did that.

Speaker 1 And he did it in the Meadowlands inspired by Tony Soprano. Yes, that's when

Speaker 1 you kind of wish you put the play calling sheet in front of your face. No, I like it better this way.
No, I'm saying John Gruden. Actually, he doesn't.
He doesn't give a shit. He's on a sinking ship.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Literally said, I'm on a sinking ship.

Speaker 1 Michael Irvin for getting very spiritual when breaking down Cowboys Patriots. So what did he say? I think he said something along the lines of Goliath wasn't sent to defeat David.

Speaker 1 He was sent to make David believe that he could beat Goliath. I don't know.

Speaker 1 It was one of the more coherent things that Michael Irvin has said on the air. He didn't howl like a dog in the middle of his explanation.
So sweating? I feel like, oh, of course.

Speaker 1 I think we've talked about this, but Michael Irvin, Super Bowl week.

Speaker 1 Miami, Florida. I mean, he is like the mayor of Miami.

Speaker 1 It's going to be, shout out Miami, by the way. Danny Boykane, that's the worst loss ever to FIU 20-point favorites.
Ned's revenge.

Speaker 1 Butch Davis revenge game. Crazy.
All right. Injured Youngstown State quarterback Nathan Mays for taking one last snap at his career despite being out for the season.
I watched this video.

Speaker 1 Did you watch this video? I did not see this one.

Speaker 1 What did he injure? Because he couldn't even put weight on it. It looked like he just had gotten injured.
Do they not? Oh, yeah, so they're carrying him out into the field. His left foot.

Speaker 1 Isn't it weird? It's dangling. Right.
I think his leg died. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 Either that or they don't have. Is he waiting in line for surgery?

Speaker 1 It seems somewhat concerning that he's not able to put any weight on it, but he also doesn't have any sort of medical device on his leg, like a brace or a cast or anything. Right.

Speaker 1 He's just kind of hanging out

Speaker 1 dealing

Speaker 1 with an injury like a deer in the wild might if they tore their AC. So you thought that was weird, right? Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 It looks a little weird. It looks like if you had,

Speaker 1 if you dropped Nathan Mays, and I'm sure he's a nice guy, and shout out Coach Bo, but if you dropped Nathan Mays on the ground, he'd still be laying on the field.

Speaker 1 And he would never be able to get up or home or anything. And he took a knee.
That was the play. They let him take a knee as they were beating Illinois State.
It's sick if he threw. I was actually.

Speaker 1 The Redskins should draft him and just have him be their victory formation guy. Can I say the Lee? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 it is American Ninja Warrior hour.

Speaker 1 I was like, there was a 1% part of me that was hoping that they would Chiano this guy and just fucking do a full rush.

Speaker 1 It might actually improve his leg.

Speaker 1 It would have been so funny. Like, if you're just a pissed-off kid, who are they playing? They're playing Illinois State.
Yeah, if you're just roll birds and you're just like, fuck this, man.

Speaker 1 I don't want to lose my last game because it's everyone else's last game, too.

Speaker 1 That's true. I'm just going to blow up the line here.
I mean, you fumble. You have your one chance to get on Sports Center and be the discussion of the week.

Speaker 1 Damn. Just one time.
All right.

Speaker 1 Last, Texas head coach Tom Herman for pumping his players up by head-butting them without a helmet. And then they lost by like a billion.
That's fine. He was

Speaker 1 just getting the boys going. That sucks.
That clip has gone around. Listen, Texas is back to being not back, officially, I think we can say, right? Tom Herman.

Speaker 1 I guess good. Is he still kissing his players? I think so.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 I think he channeled all his weird sexual energy into designing that like uterus-shaped thing that's going to be in the Texas stadium. Oh yeah, that's very weird.
Yeah. Very, very weird.

Speaker 1 So yeah, Texas is

Speaker 1 not back and might be looking for a new coach. Probably not.
Fish,

Speaker 1 maybe?

Speaker 1 It depends on how drunk the boosters that matter are. True, yeah.
True. Because at any given time, if there's like one poker game that goes bad in Texas,

Speaker 1 you can just end up with a pissed-off booster ready to make a buyout. Well, good news is the Cowboys covered today.
So, Tom Herman, you have a job for another week. That's true, yeah.
All right. Last.

Speaker 1 actually, no, it's probably worse that the boosters made money betting on the cowboy. Oh, yeah, you're right.
So, now they're playing frisky with the buyout checks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you need to, you need to hope and pray that other Texas teams don't cover the spreads. That's true.

Speaker 1 Um, okay, last up, I just wanted to mention one thing, not to brag, but we called it, but um, Elon Musk is

Speaker 1 just a front for Jeff Bezos because his cyber truck was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Yeah, the black wheels that doesn't have

Speaker 1 They threw that rock at it and it went through. I don't, yeah.
But he was just like, pretty good. He's like, well, oh, no, actually, it didn't go through.
It just shattered the...

Speaker 1 He's like, yeah, we have this state-of-the-art,

Speaker 1 you know, bulletproof glass. And they threw a little rocket it, and it just shattered it.
Is that truck meant for Mars? Or is that supposed to be used here on the planet? I think it's the...

Speaker 1 Elon Musk just sells shit we don't need.

Speaker 1 Remember when he sold all those fucking blowtorches?

Speaker 1 He's got an interesting business model with this this thing though which is if you sell something for a high enough ticket price you only have to sell like two of them right to the world's dumbest rich people and then you end up making a profit and now jeff bezos is getting a pass again i don't know if that's true but he when people talk about elon musk doing stupid they forget about jeff bezos that's true that's true he's cyber he's a brilliant description what is the cyber part of this truck i does the truck i think it has wi-fi the truck has wi-fi it's just like

Speaker 1 it's just like if you put blockchain in front of anything then it becomes bitcoin related bro Bro, you can cyber truck. You can hook that shit up to your Spotify.
It shows you

Speaker 1 on your navigation system where all the horny local singles are. Yeah.
It's so sick. Cybertruck.

Speaker 1 Who doesn't need a Cybertruck? I hope that goes like... I hope we go backwards in evolution.
Well, we kind of are, but get back to the Hummer days. Remember when the H2s were just...

Speaker 1 No, the OG Hummers. Yeah, the OG Hummers.
But then the H2 was like, well, this one isn't that bad for the environment. He should put flamethrowers on the side of his cyber truck.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and cyber truck it up. Like tacks fall out of the cyber truck.
I bet that thing doesn't even have a bitching sound system.

Speaker 1 I bet you've just got some like shitty just normal quality subwoofers in there. Knowing Elon Musk, he probably built the whole cyber truck and then like didn't put any cup holders in.

Speaker 1 You sit down and you're like, wait, where the fuck do I put my coffee? It comes with like the iTunes or the iPhone that had U2 on it. Yeah.
It comes preloaded with all of Grimes albums.

Speaker 1 It's just like a big scam to make his girlfriend more money. Oh, man.
All right. That's our show.
We'll see everyone Wednesday.

Speaker 1 Reminder, we're not going to have a show on Friday, but we're going to do an extra long Wednesday.

Speaker 1 Probably do two interviews and throw in a preview for the whole weekend so that anyone who has to work on Friday morning has something extra to listen to. But yeah, we'll see everyone on Wednesday.

Speaker 1 Love you guys.
