Speaker 11 On today's part of my take, we have Liberty head coach Hugh Freeze, who is going to win Football Guy of the Week for the first week.

Speaker 15 We will still vote on it and give you your nominees, but he coached a football game from a hospital bed.

Speaker 10 So we had him call in from that hospital bed and tell us the reasoning behind it and everything that happened on Saturday.

Speaker 12 We have a recap of the whole weekend of football.

Speaker 10 We have Football Guy of the Week and all the nominees.

Speaker 11 We have NFL Cuts, Who's Back of the Week, and hashtag Hyphi is Back.

Speaker 21 So

Speaker 15 for people who are longtime listeners, it is a segment we tried a long time ago.

Speaker 27 We're bringing it back.

Speaker 28 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 29 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 16 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 16 Now in the streets, there is violence.

Speaker 16 And then I love the song, work to be done.

Speaker 16 Low place behind a low-washing.

Speaker 16 And then I can pay all on the sun. Oh, no, we're gonna rock it down to electric avenue.

Speaker 16 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 16 Oh, we're gonna rock it down so far.

Speaker 21 It's part of my take presented by Barstool.

Speaker 29 Welcome to Pardon My Take presented by the Cash App.

Speaker 26 Use code Barstool and you get $5 to yourself, $5 to ASPCA.

Speaker 21 Today is Monday, September 3rd, and football is back again, Hank.

Speaker 29 It's Tuesday.

Speaker 21 Tuesday. Yeah, September 3rd.

Speaker 29 Thursday show.

Speaker 27 Yep, football's back.

Speaker 20 And the SEC is dead.

Speaker 29 SEC is pretty much dead. So I think they have to look at getting rid of either Tennessee or Mizzou at this point.
Yep. You should become a member.

Speaker 29 If you lose a week one game against an inferior opponent, you should just become a member of whatever conference that they're from.

Speaker 27 I don't hate that at all.

Speaker 21 I also

Speaker 21 have

Speaker 13 relegation in the EPL. But Tennessee, let's start with Tennessee.

Speaker 35 Oh, boy, was that fun to watch because now if you're a Tennessee fan, you're probably going to want to just skip, hit that 30-second fast-forward.

Speaker 6 Watching Tennessee fans just sitting there in disbelief, there's something about that week one when you schedule these smaller schools, you pay them to come into your stadium, and then they put a whooping on you.

Speaker 13 And Tennessee, you should have known when the boat called Chances Are sunk in the Tennessee River, I think it is, the Vault Navy.

Speaker 13 That should have been a sign right there that this season, it wasn't going to feel like 98.

Speaker 15 It was going to feel like 1983 when they lost a home game to a non-Power Five team.

Speaker 29 It was a bad omen for sure to get to get the weekend started. The Flames were Tennessee orange, and the orange color and that like checkerboard design that you see.

Speaker 29 Seeing somebody that's sad wearing that like festive, nice autumnal color, it hits a little bit different. It's like it's kind of it gives me pleasure to see somebody in pain wearing that color.

Speaker 33 There's also something so distinct about college football and programs that expect to be great and can't, and they hit these downturns downturns that are just, it's like watching a train crash.

Speaker 6 You just, you can't take your eyes away from Tennessee fans being like, it feels like 98, or Florida State fans being like, you know what?

Speaker 13 We have, what's his name?

Speaker 21 Art Bryles Failson is the offensive coordinator.

Speaker 16 And now we're going to Kendall Bryles.

Speaker 10 And now we're going to be awesome.

Speaker 35 And we score 31 points in the first half.

Speaker 27 Oh, whoops.

Speaker 18 We forgot to do conditioning tests and got our asses kicked in the second half by Boise State.

Speaker 29 Yeah, so they actually said that they weren't hydrated enough.

Speaker 29 That was Florida State's excuse, is that the boys didn't drink enough water pre-game. So they're going to get that fixed.
They're going to get that turnaround. It's an easy fix.

Speaker 29 When it comes to Mizzou and when it comes to Tennessee,

Speaker 29 there's no easy answer for any of that stuff.

Speaker 38 But I mean, I was.

Speaker 27 Well, Wyoming, the altitude.

Speaker 29 Yeah, I was a little bit on, and man, those end zones in Wyoming are so fast.

Speaker 21 They're so confusing. I love them.
They're so confusing.

Speaker 29 With the little cowboy on the horse in the background that looks like he's part of a 1970s discontinued cigarette ad. Yep.
I love that mascot. I love their helmets.

Speaker 29 But when it came to Tennessee, it's like that's, I think that fan base has kind of moved on from expect until they get Peyton Manning's younger nephew that's like an eighth grade that's throwing for 4,000 yards a season already.

Speaker 29 Until he comes to the campus, I don't think that they really have an expectation.

Speaker 21 I don't know.

Speaker 29 If Derek Dooley can't bring you home a national title, I don't know if it can be done.

Speaker 13 24-point favorites.

Speaker 15 I'll say it, curse of Greg Ciano.

Speaker 18 All you crazy Tennessee fans,

Speaker 21 led by someone, I don't know,

Speaker 15 decided to oust Greg Ciano before he could even get the job and bring back Phil Fulmer.

Speaker 20 I just love, and I'm sure Tennessee will be good eventually at some point in the rest of their history.

Speaker 7 But when these teams have these downturns, you saw it with Nebraska.

Speaker 15 Nebraska is now back.

Speaker 22 I don't know if you guys have to do it. Oh, big time back.

Speaker 18 Yeah, big time back.

Speaker 15 But we make the jokes all the time with Texas and Notre Dame.

Speaker 13 Like, are they back? It's something about these programs that expect that they're going to, I don't know, like, basically

Speaker 35 flip a switch and be like, oh, yeah, it's 1985 again.

Speaker 29 Every time I watch Tennessee now, I just can't help but either think this could be Greg Schiano or this could be John Gruden on your sideline right now.

Speaker 29 And John Gruden's entire complexion and his hair would work so well with that color palette that you got there.

Speaker 29 I'm just missing it.

Speaker 21 Or bring back Lane Kiffen. Yeah, why not? Yeah.

Speaker 23 I just have a stat for you.

Speaker 16 Actually, before I do a stat, I wanted to quickly go back to the FSU game.

Speaker 13 So the Boise State quarterback, true freshman, wins on the road, great second half. The most notable thing about him, though, his brothers.

Speaker 2 Did you hear about this? No.

Speaker 35 So, Hank Backmeyer is his name.

Speaker 13 His three brothers, their names, Buck, Tiger, and Bear.

Speaker 29 That's a fucking football program right there.

Speaker 5 Buck, Tiger, and Bear.

Speaker 37 How pissed are you if you're Hank?

Speaker 21 No offense, Hank.

Speaker 16 Well, no, I mean, that's a great name.

Speaker 21 But, I mean, that sucks.

Speaker 16 If your brothers, if you had three brothers named Buck, Tiger, and Bear, you mean Hank?

Speaker 29 In that situation, it's a boy named Sue situation

Speaker 29 you're always fighting against

Speaker 21 who names their

Speaker 16 sons.

Speaker 34 Idaho people, people in the fucking mountain west.

Speaker 21 Yes, of course they named Tiger.

Speaker 39 They basically name their kid whatever the first animal they saw out their window when they gave birth in a bathtub.

Speaker 29 All animals that the father has killed at some point. He names his son after them to honor their spirit.

Speaker 35 He killed some badass Hank right before Hank was born.

Speaker 30 Yeah. Some pussy ass Hank.

Speaker 29 No, but seriously, if your name's Hank and your little brothers Tiger, Buck, and Bear, you have to almost step out more. You have to fight.

Speaker 20 You have to beat FSU in the second half.

Speaker 29 This is a man that has been searching his entire life of some accomplishment that he's had that's been worthy of earning a nickname. So I don't know.
He probably needs a nickname now.

Speaker 29 How pissed are you that your

Speaker 15 parents didn't name you Tiger or Bear?

Speaker 21 Pretty upset. Yeah.

Speaker 16 Hank. I mean, Hank's a good name.
I like the name Hank.

Speaker 16 Bear.

Speaker 27 Bear. Bear Lockwood.

Speaker 21 Who doesn't want to hang out with Bear Lockwood? Buck Lockwood? Buck Lockwood is awesome.

Speaker 29 Buck Lockwood sounds like a 1970s backup quarterback.

Speaker 14 Or, yeah, like

Speaker 4 the bully from a 1980s movie.

Speaker 29 Or just a porn.

Speaker 21 Buck Lockwood. Here comes Buck Lockwood.

Speaker 30 Great porn in varsity wrestling

Speaker 13 wearing his leather jacket down the hallway.

Speaker 21 All right, so that was Hank Brock Marie. All right, my stat.

Speaker 14 The Big Ten was 12 and two.

Speaker 35 Okay. The SEC was 9-5.

Speaker 29 That's just the story. Big Ten's back.

Speaker 14 You know what's the worst part about the SEC?

Speaker 13 And I joke, like, oh, the SEC's dead. The SEC is going to benefit from the fact that the bottom of the SEC is utter trash.

Speaker 16 So now Georgia and Alabama and LSU and Texas A ⁇ M and Florida, like the top of the SEC is just going to kick the shit out of the bottom.

Speaker 13 And there's something different about if you, if I told you right now, you beat a team like you beat Tennessee 56 to 7, that seems like a better win than if you beat Rutgers 56 to 7.

Speaker 29 Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 21 There's no question.

Speaker 29 Because Tennessee is still in the back of your head. They're like, they were good.
They'll be back. They have a sweet-ass live mascot on the sideline.

Speaker 13 Feels like 98.

Speaker 29 Smokey is probably the unborn son, the unborn brother of the Hank, Buck, and Snake, and whatever the rest of the Bear family.

Speaker 13 The other thing we had was two of the worst gambling losses you could have in week one.

Speaker 16 I mean, I can't believe it happened.

Speaker 21 Both of them in week one. Oregon plus three and a half.

Speaker 15 They were covering for 59 minutes and 51 seconds.

Speaker 6 And then Northwestern, which is just, this has now become, I think we just call it a Northwestern because it was a virtual replay of the Ohio State game day night game in Evanston like six years ago where the game's over.

Speaker 10 And it's always when a team, if you're like the 20 minus, you're just like, fuck, this could happen.

Speaker 15 This could happen. Please don't, please don't fumble.
Please don't intercept this.

Speaker 18 And then, boom, it happens.

Speaker 29 And they even had a guy that was about to recover it in the end zone.

Speaker 21 Of course they did.

Speaker 29 And like you saw it coming. As soon as the ball was fumbled, it's like, okay, this is over.
I didn't even see the end of that game.

Speaker 29 We all have like a little mental check sheet during college football Saturday on which one of our bets are are already winners and which ones are losers. Yep.

Speaker 29 That one was firmly in the winners category. I had cash that ticket.
I had, yeah, I did too. I had to find out from Twitter that I had lost it.
Yep. And that's the worst feeling ever.

Speaker 29 And I saw the highlight and everyone's upset about it. I was like, well, I know exactly which camp I fell into on this one.

Speaker 30 Yep. So bad beats are back.

Speaker 35 College football's back.

Speaker 21 The Big 12 is back. The Big 12.

Speaker 27 Yeah, Jalen Hurts.

Speaker 29 Dude, now that they got rid of Mizzou, they're back.

Speaker 7 That 600-pound squatter, man.

Speaker 36 Every time they try to tackle him,

Speaker 17 people just bounce off of it.

Speaker 29 Can you imagine if, like, for once in the program's history, I mean, they've been a great program, but if they had, if Alabama had a great quarterback like Jalen Hurts, how unstoppable they would be.

Speaker 29 Like, that's the one knock against him. And he was fucking lighting it up.
And Lincoln Riley, I'll say one bad thing about Lincoln Riley. Go ahead.

Speaker 29 He's very good, but his collarless shirts piss me off.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 29 They don't look good. I see too much of his neck all.
It looks like a CrossFit type shirt.

Speaker 21 Put a collar on. Also,

Speaker 15 also unfair because he was up against the swag master and Dana Hogerson, who looks so good.

Speaker 21 Amazing.

Speaker 42 When he pops that visor off and the red really just makes everything pop.

Speaker 21 And he does the cougar. Yeah, yeah, he loves this one.
I fucking love it. Yeah.
Oklahoma, by the way.

Speaker 29 You think Lane Kiffin's trying to get FAU's hand signal changed to that too? Yes.

Speaker 21 Well, no, they have the owl, which might be problematic now. Yeah, so

Speaker 29 here's the new Lane Kiffl. The new Lane Kiffin is just

Speaker 21 the owl.

Speaker 29 I'm going to fist you. This is the owl.

Speaker 21 Oh, if you're watching on barstowgold.com slash PMT, you can see what the owl is.

Speaker 29 Do owls have penises?

Speaker 21 Yes. Small ones.

Speaker 30 All right. They're like little drills.

Speaker 29 Well, that's why their necks can turn so contortionally so that they can do other things. Yes.

Speaker 21 By the way, oral birds themselves. I love Oklahoma football.
Their defense has been so bad in the last however long that

Speaker 21 they had like one quarter where they were tackling, and everyone's like, oh my God, this defense is incredible. They tackled.
It's a low bar.

Speaker 29 It's a low bar. How much do they hold Houston to? Was it like 31 points? Yeah,

Speaker 29 they tackled solid defensive performance for Oklahoma.

Speaker 29 I was watching the game and I was thinking, like, Lincoln Riley's such a good head coach that if you're an Oklahoma fan, you have to be like a little bit afraid right now. Right.

Speaker 29 Because is he really going to stick around there for life? He doesn't seem like a Bob Stoops. I want to make my entire life in Norman, Oklahoma.

Speaker 21 I don't know.

Speaker 43 Those gimmicks won't play in the NFL

Speaker 42 when you have a good big boy football.

Speaker 13 That's how, if you ever want to be a

Speaker 15 real naysayer online about the genius of Lincoln Riley, just respond to every breakdown of the Oklahoma plays. Be like, if he had to go up against an NFL D-lineman, he'd be fucked.

Speaker 27 If they had to go against a real pass rush,

Speaker 21 they can't run an RPO or P. He's doing PROs, by the way.

Speaker 43 Pass rush options.

Speaker 29 He's running rush options. Plays that nobody's ever thought about doing, which is faking a pass and then running it afterwards.

Speaker 29 Which is like, that's,

Speaker 29 to a college football coach, that's like discovering cold fusion.

Speaker 20 He did a play where they did a

Speaker 16 a fake handoff and then a Jalen Hurts rollout that was going to be a run and then a pass.

Speaker 29 And they did it another way, too, with a fake handoff and then a Jalen Hurts rollout with a fake pass, then a run.

Speaker 21 Chill out, Lincoln Riley.

Speaker 40 Jesus Christ.

Speaker 29 Yeah, come on, man. But I do think that there should be, I don't know, some sort of measure in place if you're an Oklahoma fan and you know that you won't be able to keep around for forever.

Speaker 29 Every fan base should be allowed to keep one head coach like locked up and just having them be head coach for life in their little college town. Yes.

Speaker 29 Like Jesse Pinkman cooking meth and breaking bad at the very end. Just keep him locked up here.
He's not going anywhere. But you only get to do it like once every 50 years.

Speaker 29 So you have one head coach that has to live in a shack.

Speaker 21 Call it the Bill Snyder rule. I like it.
Yeah.

Speaker 29 College football is better when you have guys that have been around a program for long enough to piss off everyone else in the state.

Speaker 20 Yeah, and they own every cop within 150 miles.

Speaker 29 Yes, that's what we love about college football.

Speaker 15 The only other notes I had, Justin Fields is awesome, so Ohio State's going to be awesome again. Jonathan Taylor is going to win the Heisman.
That's not biased.

Speaker 10 No.

Speaker 10 And then

Speaker 4 Bo Nicks.

Speaker 23 Bo Nicks, who I didn't think was that great.

Speaker 13 I mean, he's a freshman. He's a true freshman.

Speaker 15 Plays on

Speaker 4 the biggest game of the weekend, Oregon versus Auburn.

Speaker 13 Makes the huge throw at the end, which wasn't like some fantastic.

Speaker 16 It was kind of a jump ball.

Speaker 14 But Bo Nicks, the thing I love about college football and especially SEC football, Bo Nicks could never play another down in his life, and he'll have a street named after him somewhere in Alabama.

Speaker 16 Like that play alone.

Speaker 13 They already had the play up in the facility, a picture of it.

Speaker 29 It really helps that his entire name consists of two syllables. It's very easy for people in Alabama to just slap that on a sign.

Speaker 21 And named after, obviously, he's a son of an Auburn player, but also named after Bo Jackson. Can't really be better.

Speaker 29 Can't beat that. That's actually a great governor's name for Alabama.
Bo Nicks. Bo Nix.
Governor Bo Nix.

Speaker 21 B-E-A-U, though.

Speaker 29 I don't know.

Speaker 21 I think the boo or

Speaker 15 bo, how do you pronounce that? Boo?

Speaker 29 Just keep it simple. Two letters.
Two letters. Very easy to sign.

Speaker 21 Yeah, I like that. Bear.

Speaker 29 Have we reached the point

Speaker 29 where are we officially out on new turnover props?

Speaker 21 Yes.

Speaker 16 That happened when Nevada had a turnover towel.

Speaker 29 Yeah, the turnover towel was tough.

Speaker 29 The turnover plank that Kinnesaw had last year was pretty sick, the 2x4. The best.
But yeah, they're just everywhere right now.

Speaker 21 Yeah, I'm too many.

Speaker 45 Turnover axe. I think there was a mask.

Speaker 21 Yeah, there's

Speaker 17 Oregon State has the chainsaw,

Speaker 13 which seems very, very dangerous.

Speaker 29 I like that, though. Yeah.

Speaker 3 But you know what?

Speaker 20 They probably fucking took

Speaker 29 the chains off it.

Speaker 32 Yeah, and also like the batteries out of it or some bullshit.

Speaker 29 They neutered it. Yeah.
They should actually let you run the chainsaw on the sideline. Yes.

Speaker 6 They should just have a big tree and slowly chop it down.

Speaker 29 I like that idea a lot. They should do also just like something for the offensive line, like a pancake chain.

Speaker 29 I like all the blockchain.

Speaker 12 All the turnover chains are so funny because it basically is like, how many ways can we give the student athletes something instead of money?

Speaker 21 Right. But it's also

Speaker 21 original at all.

Speaker 45 This one was very original and it's like, oh shit, we need to turn over something.

Speaker 11 Right, but we gave them free Jordans.

Speaker 20 They get to eat, like, they get $50 a day to eat.

Speaker 13 Maybe a couple jumpsuits throughout the season.

Speaker 6 How about we let them wear a really expensive chain for 45 seconds on national television?

Speaker 29 Don't forget about the Cheez-It Bowl package that you get, though, if you make it there. Just a shit.

Speaker 19 I tried to buy a Cheez-It Bowl, TCU Chee-Bull championship shirt a couple weeks ago, and it was out of stock.

Speaker 29 Really? Yeah. I mean, that's a collector's item right there.
Would have been 9-6?

Speaker 20 I only had 3XL, which would have been ⁇ I would have had to gain the weight.

Speaker 22 Yeah, that's tough.

Speaker 29 Did you see Mike Leach? So Mike Leach gave a press conference and says he's thinking about going to Area 51 when they storm it.

Speaker 21 Of course he is. I hope he does.

Speaker 29 Just take the week off. He's got a game that weekend, so he's like, I don't think I'll be able to go.
Right. But I'd really like to.

Speaker 29 Listen, Mike, I think, speaking for the entire United States of America here, I think we will all much rather have you storming Area 51 and documenting your experience than coaching a game probably against Oregon State Channel.

Speaker 16 Just reschedule the game like you do when the hurricanes come or like any kind of like, oh, well, the lights went out.

Speaker 11 Mike Leach had to go to Area 51.

Speaker 29 Yes, everybody will get it.

Speaker 29 At the very least, just send the Washington State flag there like on game day. So we see the footage of people like storming it.
There's somebody waving it in the background. Right.

Speaker 13 Does Louisville think we're watching this game live, by the way?

Speaker 15 Does Louisville think they're going to fucking win this game by kicking field goals?

Speaker 6 Some of us need the over.

Speaker 29 It's better than a fucking goal.

Speaker 15 They're not going to kick out of the field goals to win this game.

Speaker 21 All right. Should we talk a little NFL?

Speaker 41 That was a good college recap.

Speaker 15 Nathan Peterman is on the IR.

Speaker 29 Yeah, that's tough. That was a tough break to see.
But he'll be back. It's a minor injury.
Yep. And Coach Gruder is stockpiling quarterbacks again.
He picked up Deshaun Kaiser.

Speaker 35 Yeah, who, by the way, Deshaun Kaiser, someone pulled this.

Speaker 13 I saw it on the big lead.

Speaker 32 Deshaun Kaiser had the worst Patrick Mahomes take of all time.

Speaker 26 What did he say? He said,

Speaker 13 he was talking about himself before the draft.

Speaker 30 No one else game plans the way I do.

Speaker 15 No one else prepares the way I do. No one else knows football the way I do.

Speaker 32 No one else is as big as I am no one else is as powerful a runner as I am Pat Mahomes might throw the ball 80 yards and I can only throw the ball 72 but I guarantee he can't throw an outright out route the way I can that's okay yikes well I've never seen it because I don't think

Speaker 29 I don't think he's ever played an actual game so that the jury's still out on that one yeah so that is a pretty bad take but that like just because he's a bad quarterback that hasn't stopped John Gruden from signing that player to his team before I think he might have already cut him by this is what he does he just he he's like Jay Lino for cars.

Speaker 29 That's what John Gruden is for old quarterbacks with a lot of mileage.

Speaker 13 He just needs them all in his garage.

Speaker 29 Yeah, he just loves him.

Speaker 29 He's like a compulsive guy that collects quarterbacks just because he likes talking to them. He likes being around quarterbacks.

Speaker 14 Hey, did you hear about this one?

Speaker 21 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 29 I'm pretty confident if Gruden wasn't an NFL head coach, he'd just be a serial killer. Yeah, probably.
Is that fair to say?

Speaker 24 Well, he did do Monday Night Football without killing anyone that we know of.

Speaker 29 That's true.

Speaker 29 Yeah, well, Jury's so good.

Speaker 14 That kind of is the perfect cover because you get get to go city to city.

Speaker 29 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 21 It's probably there for a couple days.

Speaker 29 John Grunen should be on the next season Mindhunter.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 20 All right. So the other news, we had LaShawn McCoy to the Chiefs.

Speaker 11 Credit to Leroy, who was right.

Speaker 38 Thank you.

Speaker 21 It took him a while. Four months in advance.
That's fine.

Speaker 23 The tweet was he's going to get cut as soon as today. Yeah.

Speaker 21 Four months in advance.

Speaker 21 Right. It's all accurate.

Speaker 29 There was a material change in that they just had to wait four months to do it.

Speaker 13 He's on the Chiefs, though, now, which I'm sure he'll be awesome.

Speaker 10 Like, that feels like an Andy Reid. I just picked him up, and he's going to have a resurgent year.

Speaker 35 And then next year, when everyone's like resurgent LaShawn McCoy, he'll tear his ACL in training camp.

Speaker 29 Yeah, so I noticed that, like, he was very excited to get to Kansas City and immediately started saying,

Speaker 29 I can't wait to be reunited with Big Red.

Speaker 47 I forget,

Speaker 29 were we calling Andy Reid Big Red before he was on the Chiefs? I think so.

Speaker 16 He was always big red.

Speaker 1 I think he's always been big red.

Speaker 21 Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 29 All right. Okay.
That was one question I had about that. But yeah,

Speaker 29 they're just going to do that thing where they throw a shitload of screen passes to him. Yeah.
And I'm sure he'll get like a thousand yards receiving.

Speaker 13 Yeah.

Speaker 14 And then Paxton Lynch got cut. Shame.

Speaker 37 Okay. And then the big trade.

Speaker 16 So Houston.

Speaker 29 Wait, wait, wait. We're just going to gloss over Kyle Sloeder.

Speaker 21 Oh, Kyle Sloeder.

Speaker 14 Yeah, what happened with that?

Speaker 29 So he got cut, and now the Vikings are cursed. They're cursed this year.
Oh, wow.

Speaker 16 Kirk Cousins might not win a big game.

Speaker 29 He won't win a big game. The Vikings, who historically have been clutch in the playoffs, aren't going to win the Super Bowl this year.
Kyle Sloeder got picked up immediately in Arizona, though.

Speaker 29 So he'll be fine. He got a good landing spot with Cliff Kingsbury.
I'm worried. I'm happy about that, but I'm just officially cursing the Minnesota Vikings for this year.
Yeah.

Speaker 15 A franchise that has had all the success in the world.

Speaker 29 Do they have a kicker yet? I don't know. I don't think they do.

Speaker 20 So, yeah, the Texans were busy, though.

Speaker 23 So they traded for Laramie Tunsell and Kenny Stills.

Speaker 34 By the way, Brian Flores,

Speaker 37 they're going full tank, which is, I don't, it's

Speaker 10 very hard for an NFL team to actually say, hey, guys go out there and kill yourselves and also try to lose

Speaker 24 but Brian Flores is doing the he's he's like most Belichick disciples he's become a mini Belichick in Miami because I don't know if you saw but the report before Laramie Tunsell was traded when it was just you know out there

Speaker 40 said that the locker room would riot if Laramie Tunsell was traded because he was like the glue to the locker room and then he also had the Kenny Stills Jay-Z thing so Brian Flores has taken all the fun out of Miami and then says, go ahead and lose for an entire year.

Speaker 29 You're forgetting that they have the best anti-tank defense of all time, and his name is Ryan Fitzpatrick, who will win you five games out of the first seven every single season.

Speaker 15 That Ravens minus six and a half is like...

Speaker 16 I am a mouse just walking up and being like, look at that huge piece of cheese and just grabbing it and snapping my neck in half.

Speaker 21 So I will take that bet.

Speaker 29 No, you're right.

Speaker 29 It is, it's almost impossible to tank in the NFL unless you do it from like a structural standpoint, which it looks like they're trying to do a little bit, just getting rid of all their good players.

Speaker 29 But you're right, no one's going to go out there and not play hard on Sunday. So that's going to be tough to use.

Speaker 29 Plus, I always say that in the NFL, if everybody is sure about something, then everybody's always wrong. I invented saying that.
Yep. And so that's.
Do you think the Dolphins are going to be good?

Speaker 29 I think the Dolphins are going to go 6-10, 7-9.

Speaker 21 I'll take that.

Speaker 29 And I think that Daniel Jones is going to be. I've tricked myself into thinking Daniel Jones will be a very good NFL player.

Speaker 1 Is that what I could see happening?

Speaker 7 Because the Dolphins winning seven games is the most insane thing I've ever heard.

Speaker 29 Six to seven games for the Dolphins.

Speaker 10 Okay, there we go.

Speaker 21 Seven games.

Speaker 21 I don't.

Speaker 34 They're going to win four at most.

Speaker 29 That would still be an improvement over what most people think will be.

Speaker 16 But they will beat the Pats like in Miami, right? Yeah, whenever that game is.

Speaker 21 Yes.

Speaker 21 All right.

Speaker 26 And then also, Jade Van Clowney is on the Seahawks, which the Seahawks, I think,

Speaker 1 we'll do our predictions on Friday.

Speaker 24 I like the Seahawks out of the West before

Speaker 16 Jade Clowney got traded there, just because I think the Rams will still make the playoffs, but I think it's very hard to come back from losing in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 15 It's going to take a little time. I think the Seahawks are going to be a tough, tough team.

Speaker 13 There will be that story in October.

Speaker 21 Yeah, the Seahawks are back.

Speaker 29 The problem is they just don't have anybody to throw the ball to.

Speaker 21 It doesn't matter.

Speaker 29 They don't have any wide receivers.

Speaker 29 They've got Tyler Lockett. I think he's the Lockett they still have.

Speaker 16 No,

Speaker 29 they drafted Metcalf. Yeah, but he's hurt.
Oh, yeah, Metcalf isn't playing.

Speaker 29 But I do think that defense is all. Jadavian Clowney is a guy that is going to get Pete Carroll's gum jaw really going.

Speaker 16 And he's playing for a contract.

Speaker 29 And he's playing for a contract. And as long as Seattle Seahawks have at least two guys on that defense with sick dreadlocks, their championship window is still open.

Speaker 29 They just look like the same Seahawks. And I'm always going to be like, I would be afraid to play against them.

Speaker 43 Yes. All right.

Speaker 13 Should we do our football guy?

Speaker 15 I'll tell you what, if this fucking over, they scored 28 points in like five minutes.

Speaker 21 Don't laugh, Liam.

Speaker 29 There's a lot of football to be played. I hate football.
We got 11 minutes, 45 seconds left. We're fine.

Speaker 42 I don't have the over, but I hate football.

Speaker 21 We're fine. All right.

Speaker 21 Let's do our football guy of the week.

Speaker 15 So, first up, we have the nominees are Liberty head coach Hugh Freeze, who we have on the show today.

Speaker 32 He coached from a hospital bed.

Speaker 29 Yeah, that's going to be impossible to beat.

Speaker 27 Pretty much dying.

Speaker 13 The football guy of the year moment in week one. The visual of him sitting in that hospital bed in that window was so fucking funny.

Speaker 21 And then the press conference after with all of the reporters sitting there while he Skyped in was incredible.

Speaker 29 I got to wonder, did anybody think to position his bed so that he was facing the field during the game so that he wasn't looking over his shoulder the entire time?

Speaker 19 Oh my God, it was so, so good.

Speaker 21 I mean, the whole thing, the thumbs up with Dino Babers at the end.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we're going to get to it with you, Freeze, when he comes on.

Speaker 29 By the way, Dino Babers just putting this in the tickler file. I was going to say this anyways before we interviewed Coach Freeze, and he brought it up a couple times.

Speaker 29 Dino Babers might be leading the league right now in terms of the amount of times you have to say the word classy when you discuss him. Yes.

Speaker 29 He is the classy, like Tony Dungy was the classy guy for forever in the NFL. Dino Babers is the classiest of the class head coach in college football.

Speaker 43 He also just has a winning name.

Speaker 30 Dino Babers.

Speaker 15 It's either a winning football coach or like the neighbor of Fred Flintstone.

Speaker 29 Yeah,

Speaker 29 I was actually going to say a cartoon dinosaur.

Speaker 21 One of those. That has like a list.
Yeah, it's perfect. It's perfect.

Speaker 21 All right, the next one we have is LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, who Coacho, our friend,

Speaker 39 said that he smashes his head against the wall before every game to get himself pumped up.

Speaker 29 Yep, the old Gus Ferrat is what we know that as. That doesn't surprise me about Burrow.
No. Burrow's a big head-butt guy.
Yeah.

Speaker 29 Everybody, most guys growing up, they have at least one or two friends that are head-butt friends. That usually it's like pretty inappropriate and annoying to be around them.

Speaker 29 But if you're wearing a football helmet, then it's cool.

Speaker 15 Also, maybe the most badass thing that anyone could ever do in a bar fight is go straight to the headbutt.

Speaker 21 Straight headbutt.

Speaker 19 Straight headbutt, that is the coolest thing you can do.

Speaker 15 Oklahoma coach Shane Beamer gets stitches between his eyes after headbutting a player during a TD celebration.

Speaker 29 Look metal as fuck.

Speaker 41 Another headbutt guy.

Speaker 15 And then we had Ohio freshman offensive lineman named Parker Titsworth, and he wears number 69.

Speaker 29 And that's it. That's, yeah.
That's it. I mean,

Speaker 29 under normal circumstances, that should be be good enough for at least second place.

Speaker 19 We need to get a Titsworth jersey up here.

Speaker 29 Yeah, just because we like the player.

Speaker 21 Right. Right.
Because we're

Speaker 21 prospects

Speaker 13 on our side. And then we also had honorable mention.

Speaker 39 You mentioned this one.

Speaker 15 Wyatt Teller from the Bills got traded to the Browns before Thursday night's game and still wanted to play in the last game for the Bills,

Speaker 29 which I don't do that, dude. He was just confused.
He was like, do I... Okay, I know I was traded, but do I still get to play?

Speaker 15 Yeah, imagine he gets hurt in that and then doesn't get the guaranteed contract on Labor Day and all that shit. Come on, man.

Speaker 21 Come on.

Speaker 21 I don't know.

Speaker 29 To me, there's something awesome about a guy that just like with his brothers one last time. Yeah, he's like, hey, I'm here.
You might as well roll me out there one more time.

Speaker 21 Right, let's go to war. All right, so that's our football guy of the week.
We're going to put that up for a poll. Everyone vote.

Speaker 30 As a reminder, every single week, whoever wins, we're going to try to get on the show.

Speaker 15 If you can help, please help.

Speaker 39 We have Hugh Freeze on the show because we figured he'd win. But going forward, if you could help us at all, get the Football Guy of the Week.

Speaker 30 We had a good run the last couple of years.

Speaker 29 We even got the dog from the Boise State kickoff dog. That was amazing.
That was incredible.

Speaker 15 So vote for it and then send us any help getting the winner.

Speaker 21 Okay, who's back of the week?

Speaker 2 Before we get to Coach Hugh Freeze, Hank, get us going.

Speaker 45 Okay, I have a few.

Speaker 16 Oh, good.

Speaker 45 First one is rookie hazing.

Speaker 45 So Plusification of America has been kind of, you know, taking it away. People are scared to do rookie hazing.
They don't want to do it anymore. Tom Brady, man of the people,

Speaker 45 brought it back. Oh, I saw this.

Speaker 45 Chase Winovich has like long PFT-type ponytail hair.

Speaker 45 And he brought a pair of scissors up to him on the sideline and started cutting it.

Speaker 42 There you go.

Speaker 21 Did he donate it?

Speaker 21 I'm sure he did.

Speaker 29 Probably, yeah.

Speaker 21 That'd be great.

Speaker 16 It was a pretty funny prank.

Speaker 47 Did he actually, he actually did cut it, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 15 I thought he just did the whole like pretend to cut it and then just show the scissors.

Speaker 13 But that also, do you think the minute I saw that video, I was like, well, they're both Michigan guys, so he probably can't be mad.

Speaker 38 Like, not even the

Speaker 38 Tom Brady.

Speaker 27 I feel like you can, I feel like he did that because because he's a Michigan guy.

Speaker 13 Yeah, well, I also think Michigan guys always stick together and pretend that it's 19.

Speaker 21 I think Chase Winovich, a rookie watching Matt, the greatest quarterback of all time,

Speaker 29 but also like Michigan, men, they are very much like a high-end tight haircut type of program.

Speaker 29 The Yankees. So, yeah, so hey, cut those sideburns, Mattingly.

Speaker 21 Yeah. Not looking good for Louisville, by the way.

Speaker 49 Notre Dame just scored.

Speaker 39 We need one more touchdown for the over.

Speaker 21 The Joker is back.

Speaker 21 Both the movie.

Speaker 45 A lot of people are talking about the reviews of the movie people.

Speaker 21 You better not

Speaker 21 Quit.

Speaker 45 Apparently, you can retire from tennis in the middle of the game.

Speaker 21 It's called having a shoulder injury so bad that he couldn't even walk.

Speaker 45 How does that not come out before the game starts to match when he's going to call it?

Speaker 3 Because it got worse and worse as he lost the first two sets, idiot.

Speaker 29 It's tough to battle back from a shoulder injury after you're already going to lose.

Speaker 37 Right.

Speaker 3 You lose the first two sets, and then it's like, ow,

Speaker 21 our arm really hurts.

Speaker 14 Guess what?

Speaker 3 He also probably wanted to let Nadal and and fucking Rafa.

Speaker 21 No, that's the same guy. Yeah, the same guy.
Rafa and Federer. Federer and

Speaker 21 Rinka can play each other.

Speaker 16 And like, one of you idiots can win while the goat rests up his shoulder.

Speaker 29 Do we have a Doug Gottlieb take yet about another millennial retiring early because of a shoulder?

Speaker 21 No. That's what I'm waiting for that.

Speaker 29 Come on, Doug.

Speaker 21 He's copycat league.

Speaker 5 He's probably a sticky fingers Gottlieb probably out there still.

Speaker 21 Probably grab him.

Speaker 26 Imagine if Gottlieb

Speaker 1 was the tennis, the ballboy at the U.S.

Speaker 26 Open and just fucking stuffed all the balls in his pockets during the game.

Speaker 29 Or if Gottlieb.

Speaker 21 Everyone's like, dude, I want to serve the ball. He's like, I don't have any.

Speaker 14 His pants are just... He's wearing like

Speaker 39 the cargo pants with like eight different pockets.

Speaker 21 And he's like, I don't have any. It's just stuck full of balls.

Speaker 21 He's got a backpack. He's got a clown car

Speaker 29 filled with tennis.

Speaker 21 He's got packed outside. He's got like the Pharrell hat.
He's just got tennis balls inside.

Speaker 29 Doug Gottlieb should be the joker. He just loves to watch the world burn by stealing inconsequential shit.

Speaker 21 Maybe

Speaker 29 he'll steal his take.

Speaker 45 And then my final who's back is feel good scholarship stories. Okay.
The Nevada freshman hit a last-second 56-yard field goal to beat Purdue.

Speaker 45 And then in the celebration in the locker room after he was

Speaker 45 he gave him a scholarship, which is like

Speaker 29 yeah, that seems like a spur-of-the-moment type scholarship. Yeah.
Where

Speaker 29 the coach woke up the next morning with a big scholarship hangover, like, oh no, what did I do?

Speaker 22 Something about Nevada, by the way.

Speaker 21 Nevada?

Speaker 29 We gave him a scholarship?

Speaker 27 Every time I watch a game in Nevada, I I don't know what they do.

Speaker 6 They just release like trash in the air, and it just blows everywhere every single time you watch a game there.

Speaker 44 The wind, it was just trash.

Speaker 21 Is that about the passing game? No, no, no.

Speaker 30 I'm talking about their actual trash on the field.

Speaker 39 It looks like someone just ran a ticker tape parade like five minutes before the game started, and it's all game long.

Speaker 16 And it's every time I watch Nevada.

Speaker 29 I need to watch more Nevada home games, though.

Speaker 2 CBS Sports.

Speaker 44 That's like it's Wyoming, Nevada, like all those Mountain West teams.

Speaker 39 I just feel like they're just ingrained in my brain.

Speaker 29 That's just the trash blowing in from Burning Man. That's like Embers from the Man that got a lot of people.

Speaker 22 Oh, cool people.

Speaker 30 Is that it, Hank?

Speaker 21 Okay.

Speaker 29 PT. My Who's Back of the Week is giant tennis balls at the U.S.
Open. A tradition unlike any other.
It's the only time that you ever see it, but for some reason, everybody that attends the U.S.

Speaker 29 Open walks around with a giant fucking tennis ball that they get everybody to autograph. And then they get home and they're like, shit, what do I do with this huge tennis ball?

Speaker 29 And who are these people that I'll never use for the rest of my life? I don't even have a place in my apartment to put this because I live in New York.

Speaker 39 Yeah, and who's this guy who signed it who makes like $30,000 a year traveling around and losing in tennis matches?

Speaker 29 Right. It's just one of those things that you see.
It's kind of like a turkey leg at a state fair. If you see somebody else walking around with it, you're like, oh, I should get one of those.

Speaker 29 I'm here. I got to have one.
So I guess I'll buy a big fucking tennis ball.

Speaker 21 Okay. That's it, but

Speaker 29 my other one was going to be John Gruden, but we already discussed him.

Speaker 21 Okay.

Speaker 29 By the way, if Triggs is listening to this, can he draw a picture of Doug Gottlieb, which is stuffed with tennis balls everywhere?

Speaker 21 Thanks.

Speaker 48 My who's back is Hurricane Innovation.

Speaker 29 That guy looks exactly like the dude in my avatar. I think it's the same person.

Speaker 21 Yes, yes.

Speaker 29 I really do. If you can put them side by side, I'm like 90% sure that if it's not the same guy, it's an idea that the dude in my avatar has thought of before.

Speaker 4 Okay, so play the clip right here.

Speaker 51 Can't see how they haven't come up with some kind of way to combat these storms yet.

Speaker 50 They keep saying now, you know, two days ago, three days ago, oh, it's set this, but it's going to hit all this warm weather. All this warm weather in warm water.

Speaker 52 We have a Navy. Why don't the Navy come and drop ice in the warm water so it can't get going as fast as it's going?

Speaker 51 There's got to be ways to combat this instead of just pointing at the thing and saying, well, now it's getting worse.

Speaker 50 Yeah, we know it's getting worse, but you tell us, oh, it's the warm weather.

Speaker 21 Oh, it's the wind. Well, we have an Air Force.

Speaker 52 drive some Air Force planes around to get the winds going the opposite way.

Speaker 29 Get the Navy to go in circles to fight it the other way.

Speaker 48 Hurricane Innovation is fully back because every time there's a hurricane, it feels like a lot of ideas come out there, and we haven't tested any of them.

Speaker 19 So this guy liked dropping ice into the water.

Speaker 29 Wait, like icing the hurricane. Yeah, no.
Take a knee and chug. Yeah, you bitch.

Speaker 27 He's like, they talk about this warm water.

Speaker 49 Why don't we just ice it?

Speaker 43 Flying the Air Force at the hurricane to reverse the wind patterns.

Speaker 29 I think that was like an issue of Superman in the comic book.

Speaker 11 I just know that it feels like hurricanes are at the point where we should solve it.

Speaker 29 Why don't we just windmills on the coastline? Windmills or just build a giant blow dryer

Speaker 29 on the east coast of Florida.

Speaker 26 Or just ice it.

Speaker 14 Just get maybe get one of those icebergs that everyone's crying about and bring it down.

Speaker 21 Just to Florida. Just tow it down? Yeah, tow it down.

Speaker 29 Why don't we just

Speaker 36 cover it in saran wrap first and then bring it down?

Speaker 21 Okay, so

Speaker 21 it doesn't spoil.

Speaker 29 Yeah. Yeah, just or we could send a bunch of Tennessee football fan chips at it and just light the hurricane on fire.

Speaker 45 What would happen if you parachuted into the eye of the hurricane?

Speaker 29 You'd probably you'd get so laid afterwards when you have a great story to tell.

Speaker 12 By the way, there's a meteorologist who...

Speaker 45 But like, there's nothing going on in the center of it.

Speaker 21 It's the eye. Yeah, it's the eye.

Speaker 45 So if you, like, you know, they show this, the views from space, like, if you fell straight into the eye, would you even get wet?

Speaker 29 Fellas. No.

Speaker 29 No, you wouldn't.

Speaker 29 There's no rain.

Speaker 21 I love looking at aerials of hurricanes.

Speaker 29 I just want to say, like, fuck the hurricane.

Speaker 21 Yo, but

Speaker 21 I want to make sure. We're disavowing hurricanes.
Yeah, we're disavowing hurricanes.

Speaker 45 We're actually selling Bahamas Strong as 100% of the proceeds. There we go.

Speaker 29 100% of the proceeds go to the Bahamas to help them in their rebuilding and recovery efforts.

Speaker 14 Anti-Nazi, anti-hurricanes.

Speaker 21 Yes.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 29 But Hurricane Science is back in a big way.

Speaker 29 I really don't see a problem with just flying the Air Force. I know he didn't really, like, think through that idea.
Well, he's an ideas guy.

Speaker 29 But flying the Air Force directly at something, I mean, we don't know if it doesn't work until we try it.

Speaker 21 Correct.

Speaker 38 Correct. And icing a hurricane, same thing.

Speaker 29 Bombing a hurricane.

Speaker 21 That is Geostorm.

Speaker 29 So there's that Geostorm idea. You ever see the movie Outbreak? What if we drop the bomb from Outbreak that sucks everything in? That works too.
The giant vacuum bomb.

Speaker 21 A big net.

Speaker 29 I might have invented the vacuum bomb.

Speaker 15 Maybe the nets that they refuse to put up around Major League Baseball parks so kids just keep getting beamed by balls.

Speaker 21 Let's put that over, Hurricane.

Speaker 19 Because you're not using it.

Speaker 21 Yeah. Right? Okay, let's get to Coach Hugh Freeze.

Speaker 15 This over is not going to hit.

Speaker 29 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boars Head makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 29 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boars Head retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boars Head premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 29 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration seriously guys it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering boarshead committed to craft since 1905 what's up guys it's big cat here making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey how do you make an Irish entrance you ask it starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 33 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt.

Speaker 4 Age four years in bourbon barrels. Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 15 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 16 So get out there and make your Irish entrance.

Speaker 26 Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 29 And now, Coach Hugh Freeze.

Speaker 20 Okay, we now welcome on what we assume will be the football guy of the week going away because it was one of the all-time greatest football guy moves we've ever seen.

Speaker 2 It is Coach Hugh Freeze, the coach of Liberty.

Speaker 39 Coach, we got to start with just a basic, how are you feeling?

Speaker 21 Because you coached in a hospital bed.

Speaker 53 Yeah,

Speaker 53 I've had better days, big cat. It's been a tough two weeks, you know.
I haven't been on the practice field in 16 days, and that's just misery to me.

Speaker 53 Thanks to our IT department, I do get to watch it live and kind of communicate with our coaches via walkie-talkies, but it's

Speaker 53 certainly not the same, and it's been this difficult and disappointing that it happened this time of year.

Speaker 53 I'm really anxious.

Speaker 53 I'm going to get a report.

Speaker 53 tomorrow or Wednesday from the doctors as to whether or not they're going to try to do another another procedure to ease some of the

Speaker 53 pain that I'm having in the lower back. But I'm hopeful I don't have to do that because that would really be another setback.

Speaker 53 And, you know, what really happened was the staph infection somehow got to my spine and kind of had its way with one of those lower discs. And now I think the operation was successful.

Speaker 53 The staph is under control, but for some reason my body is retaining a lot of fluid in that area, which is causing

Speaker 53 the spine, I mean, the nerves there to be irritated. And they may have to go in and drain some of that.
I'll know in the next few days.

Speaker 53 But we're praying that that's going to be good news and I can get back on the practice field in a week or so.

Speaker 29 Yeah, we hope so too, Coach. This is PFT here.
I was curious when I saw you up there coaching the game. Did it occur to you that maybe you should sit this one out?

Speaker 29 Like maybe the doctors would like you to take it a little bit easy?

Speaker 53 Yeah,

Speaker 53 it's been a back and forth

Speaker 53 with the doctors and I on that. And it really had it had it been anything where I would have had to sit in a chair or stand, there's no way I could have done it.
And the Liberty

Speaker 53 Liberty IT and engineering departments came to the I'm staying in a hotel room across from campus so that I have everything live feed to me. And they came to me and said, Coach, we've got an idea.

Speaker 53 We think we can

Speaker 53 cut out a part part of a wall and put a hospital bed for my medical school in there and lay you down. And,

Speaker 53 you know, when that, because I'm very comfortable laying down because there's no pressure on that area.

Speaker 53 And, you know, when they said that, I just, you know, I feel like I owe it to our kids and coaches if I can add some type of value to

Speaker 53 be there for them. And I'm going to do anything possible.
that doesn't set me back. And so I talked to the doctors, and when I told them that I would be laying down on the bed, they

Speaker 53 I don't know if it was reluctantly, but they said that

Speaker 53 they would agree with that. And so I just, that was the only possible way that I could have been there.

Speaker 21 So

Speaker 35 I'm a huge wrestling fan and late 90s WWE, and I have to say that you getting wheeled in in the wheelchair and then doing the press conference beforehand

Speaker 17 from the hospital bed, it felt like Stone Cold Steve Austin was going to pop out of

Speaker 53 that hospital you know or whatever room you were in and start hitting you with a bedpan did you at any moment were you like this is a little absurd or were you just like i'm here to coach football no you know it uh i i'm i also am an old wrestling man i don't watch it anymore but when when the rock and stone cold and those guys were doing it i i was uh into that too and i can visually see exactly what you were thinking

Speaker 53 and then and truthfully truthfully i really thought i was going to coach football and then when all of the interviewing started from it

Speaker 53 and me looking like I'm just,

Speaker 53 that was a little over the top for me.

Speaker 53 But I didn't quite know how to say no to

Speaker 53 the people that always do the pregame. And then

Speaker 53 our IT department had it hooked up where I could do the pregame talk from there and then talk to our players at halftime and post-game. That was pretty neat.

Speaker 53 But the interviewing and then doing the press conference from there did feel a little bit over the top.

Speaker 29 Yeah, yeah, I got to assume there was maybe a little bit of, I don't want to say like helplessness that sat in, but you're up there in the booth and you're used to being on the sidelines where you can scream at the officials and all that stuff.

Speaker 29 So you're missing out on like a little bit of the normal game day experience. Did you find yourself trying to yell at the refs, trying to

Speaker 29 get involved like you normally would? Or is that kind of an interesting, like,

Speaker 29 I guess something a little bit different that you had to adjust to?

Speaker 53 No, it felt totally

Speaker 53 out of place for me. I didn't

Speaker 53 feel at home. I didn't feel

Speaker 53 almost surreal, like it wasn't a real game.

Speaker 53 It was totally different. I've never been in the press box and called a game and

Speaker 53 it did feel quite different. I've got a great staff that's

Speaker 53 done a great job preparing. And then

Speaker 53 we just, obviously we didn't play very well on offense and give Syracuse a lot of credit for that. I think they're a very good defensive football team.
But

Speaker 53 we had our chance to get a few points early on in the first half and missed both opportunities to do it. And from there, it was pretty downhill.
But my,

Speaker 53 it just really seemed odd to me and hard to see because of the angle of the bed to see everything that was going on. So it was something I'm not...
I really hope I never have to do again.

Speaker 33 But

Speaker 35 it proved in football guy fashion, like you will lay in a hospital bed while you're coaching football. That's kind of the mantra of the football guy.

Speaker 21 He basically goes

Speaker 21 to the end of the earth to coach football.

Speaker 53 That's right. Well, I mean, I set out, you know, I mean, I've waited a long time for this opportunity, and man, I told my players when I saw him,

Speaker 53 it will take a lot to keep me from being there, and I wanted to just make sure I proved that to them.

Speaker 15 We also got to give you credit for the post-game press conference, which

Speaker 13 I have to admit, I laughed because it's just the visual of people sitting in a press press room and then you're Skyping in or teleconferencing in.

Speaker 30 But you holding the Coke Zero, I think it was, whatever the Liberty official drink is, that was a nice touch by you.

Speaker 53 I'm glad you noticed that and pointed that out. You know, I see Nick Saban doing that all the time with his Coca-Cola, so I figure I better get Coke Zero in for the Liberty.

Speaker 53 You know, that we're a Coke Zero team.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 29 I got to admit, I was rooting for you guys because I wanted to see how you might handle the post-game Gatorade shower from your bed if there was a protocol in place.

Speaker 53 I would have let them pour whatever they wanted to on me had we won. And,

Speaker 53 you know,

Speaker 53 the interesting thing, and I'm glad no one got it on camera, is the fact that I had to have a P-break and I couldn't move out of the bed. That was quite interesting to see my coaches.

Speaker 53 You know, they didn't know they had signed up for that.

Speaker 21 Yes.

Speaker 53 When they tried to help me get, that was about the middle of the third quarter.

Speaker 21 Oh, that's fantastic. Yeah.
So, wait, so wait, did they shield it?

Speaker 1 Did they shield the windows?

Speaker 53 Well, they finally got the shield up because I was begging, man. Somebody, please shield it, but I can't hold it any longer.

Speaker 3 And you're still coaching through the whole thing.

Speaker 53 I coached through the whole thing.

Speaker 21 Yeah, so I have to also ask

Speaker 20 the end of the game when you gave the thumbs up to Dino Babers, coach of Syracuse, and he gave you a little, it was basically a handshake from 400 feet away or whatever whatever it was.

Speaker 4 If for some reason, we've seen games where coaches maybe don't agree at the 50-yard line after a contentious game.

Speaker 3 If that had been a contentious game, what is it like?

Speaker 13 Do you throw him the, you know, flipping the bird?

Speaker 21 What do you do? Like, you got to do something different, right?

Speaker 53 No, I would have done the same. He would have, too.
He's a class act. And, you know, he just...

Speaker 53 You know, if it had been contentious,

Speaker 53 the wave probably would have been a little shorter for both of us.

Speaker 53 But, you know, it wouldn't have been anything that he had done or I had done. It would just probably would have been some calls that we didn't agree with or didn't go our way.

Speaker 53 And I don't think you hold that personal toward the opposing coach. And, you know, I thought what he did was a very classy gesture.

Speaker 53 I'm glad I saw it because I was kind of trying to, who can help me get out of this bed. And my operations guy said, hey, look, Dean, I was motioning to you, so I'm so glad I saw it.

Speaker 53 And I texted him after the game and just told him what a class act I thought it was. I appreciate it.
I'm wish you luck. And he did the same for us.

Speaker 29 I also noticed that you were wearing your game day full attire on the sidelines. You had the shoes on in the bed.

Speaker 29 For me, if I'm laying down,

Speaker 53 didn't have the pants on, though. I couldn't get them on.
I tried, and it was way too difficult.

Speaker 21 Oh, coaching in your underwear. That's a fantastic move.
Well, no,

Speaker 53 I had khaki shorts on.

Speaker 29 Yeah, which is a great backup plan. I mean, you looked like you were ready to get down on the sidelines there.
I've never laid in bed with shoes on, I don't think.

Speaker 29 But I saw you, and I was like, that's how I would do it if I was coaching a football game.

Speaker 53 Yeah, I had to wear my game day shoes that were addressed to me by Nike.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 39 All right, I got a question for you, Coach Freeze, because

Speaker 15 through the football guy years and everything we've talked about, one of my favorite moves of all time was something you did at Ole Miss, and that was the fake funeral.

Speaker 27 Can you talk us through that?

Speaker 21 Because that's a legendary football guy move.

Speaker 53 Yeah,

Speaker 53 that one got

Speaker 53 quite blown out of proportion a little bit.

Speaker 53 There was never any casket. There was never any

Speaker 53 funeral attire. It was simply a slideshow on

Speaker 53 the big screen of at my funeral, this is what I would like for my wife to say about me, my kids to say about me, my players to say about me, my friends to say about me.

Speaker 53 And then I went from there on how do I get there? Because all of us make mistakes. All of us have things that we are not quite proud of.

Speaker 53 And so how do you make the most of the time that you have remaining uh to make sure if if this is what i want said about me you know how do i do it so if this is my funeral you know what is my wife gonna say today and what are my kids gonna say and what are my players gonna say so it was more of of me having a conversation about that than what it kind of uh grew to be okay well i'll put my hand up i probably had a part in uh making it a bigger than it was but i would like probably started that didn't you yeah i would like to live i think when i first read the story i was like uh coach Freeze had all his players show up to the practice facility, and there was just a casket there.

Speaker 15 And his assistant coach said, Coach Freeze died last night.

Speaker 53 Yeah, that's no truth to any of that. Damn.

Speaker 29 We're hoping it was like a Viking funeral type thing where they just wheeled a casket out onto the 50-yard line, set it on fire, and said, You killed your coach because you didn't play hard enough.

Speaker 53 Yeah, that's so y'all are definitely WWE fans.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so along those same lines, is there anything else that you've done through your years of coaching that has helped motivate the team?

Speaker 24 Something maybe a little outside the box, like a fake funeral?

Speaker 53 I haven't, let's see, I'm sure there are some things. I did take a team

Speaker 53 through this, we probably can't do this anymore, but we did this Army deal relay race through this swamp.

Speaker 53 It was quite interesting.

Speaker 21 That's awesome.

Speaker 53 And it was a lot of fun, but I don't know if I've done too many other things that are quite out of the box.

Speaker 15 Yeah, I mean, coaching in a a hospital bed's pretty out of the box.

Speaker 21 It's pretty meant to do that.

Speaker 21 You just kind of take what life throws at you.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 29 I heard that a mutual friend of ours, my old colleague Ben Carson, helped you to identify that maybe you were dealing with a serious medical issue. Was there any truth to that?

Speaker 53 I'll tell you what, you know, you've done your homework. And, you know, I'd been in the hospital two days.

Speaker 53 And really, we weren't sure exactly what was going on because, I mean, I'd been been at eight straight practices of fall camp and, you know, running around, wild man, excited to be back out there in no pain at all.

Speaker 53 And

Speaker 53 after practice eight of a scrimmage,

Speaker 53 I'm sitting in the film room with our coaches and going over with our players and didn't have the walkthrough. And all of a sudden, you know, my back just starts getting really tight.

Speaker 53 And by the time I got home, I told Jill, you got to help me to bed.

Speaker 53 And the the next morning I couldn't walk and so we got to the hospital and I had no pain in my legs or or anything but in total spasms if I even moved and so I wasn't really sure what was going on and they they did another epidural hoping that would ease it it didn't phase it

Speaker 53 and that was day two and that's when I called Jerry Falwell and just said you know I'm not sure what's going on but I I'm hopeful you have some contacts in the medical field that can help us and man it it wasn't 10 minutes that my wife was on the phone with Ben Carson.

Speaker 53 And I think he may have been one of the first to say, you know what,

Speaker 53 this may be some type of infection or an attack

Speaker 53 on a disc or something and not necessarily a disc issue.

Speaker 21 And

Speaker 53 so then we immediately started saying, well, where can we get him to handle that? And again, Dr. Jerry Falwell was able to get one of the top

Speaker 53 Ben was willing to help us, but getting to Johns Hopkins and the pain I was in was a very difficult task. And so the next best option that they recommended was another top surgeon that does this,

Speaker 53 Dylan Elagala. And he's in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Dr.
Falwell flew him into UVA. He has surgical rights there.

Speaker 53 Man, I'm just thankful. He came in, he spent five minutes with me, saw me, he says, you've got some type of infection in your spine.
And we've got to get in there right now. And,

Speaker 53 you know, the next morning at 7 a.m., we went in, and sure enough, it was somehow got staff in my bloodstream, and it attacked that area.

Speaker 53 And thank God they got in there fast enough so it didn't go anywhere else.

Speaker 29 All right, well, we hope you start feeling better pretty soon here.

Speaker 29 I had one more question about kind of the protocol afterwards. I always see football coaches, they get the state trooper escort after the game, you know, out to do the handshake.

Speaker 29 Did you get the state trooper escort out of the press box when they were wheeling?

Speaker 53 I had the

Speaker 53 chief of police for our university took care of me.

Speaker 35 All right, I got one last question. It's our SeatGeek question.

Speaker 4 You want to go to a college football game this year, put in promo code TAKE, you get $10 off your SeatGeek purchase.

Speaker 35 So you did the hospital bed.

Speaker 30 You said you don't want to ever do it again.

Speaker 16 If you, I think next week you're going down to Louisiana,

Speaker 1 what happens if the doctor says you've got a coach in in a wheelchair or with an IV bag

Speaker 13 next to you?

Speaker 16 Are you doing that on the sideline?

Speaker 53 Oh, man.

Speaker 53 If he says I can do that, I will be there. I know I'll get talked about again and made fun of again,

Speaker 53 but I'll do that for my kids and team if we can do it. I am going to listen to them, though.

Speaker 53 I want to get well for the long term, and we're going to have a big conversation on Thursday, I know, and kind of see where things are. But if he says that's permissible,

Speaker 53 you'll be talking about me again.

Speaker 36 Okay, maybe toss in a fake funeral.

Speaker 21 Just throw it in there. Maybe so.
Yeah,

Speaker 21 really do it together.

Speaker 15 Just be like, hey, listen, I was in a hospital bed and just be like, actually, this is the perfect time.

Speaker 13 You can have one of your assistant coaches be like, hey, guys,

Speaker 21 we didn't score on Saturday.

Speaker 13 Coach Freeze died.

Speaker 53 Well, I tell you what, if I have many more Saturdays where we don't score many,

Speaker 53 I'll be on suicide watch.

Speaker 21 There you go.

Speaker 29 Here's what we can do.

Speaker 21 You can can bury the hospital bed oh put that behind you you know a lot of a lot of coaches

Speaker 43 burn it yeah you've buried some footballs i would assume right

Speaker 53 yes yeah you got it i could burn the hospital bed and then come out with a steel chair

Speaker 33 perfect perfect uh all right coach freeze rest up hopefully you feel better and congratulations on winning the week one football guy of the week it's a big award and uh we'll send you something in the mail we've been saying that to everyone we've never sent anything but maybe you'll be the first one Yeah, well, thank you guys so much.

Speaker 21 All right, thanks, coach.

Yeah.

Speaker 21 But what? Oh, Breaking Moose. Breaking Moose Engine.

Speaker 45 I just forgot to mention it. But White Panda, the remix masters, this entire month, the month of September,

Speaker 45 it's going to be White Panda Month. They made a bunch of take on me remixes.

Speaker 45 They're all, i mean we've had some good ones over the years but these ones are all extremely high quality so we're going to put one on the end of each episode for the entire month i think so yes thank you white panda shout out to white panda thank you i'm there i mean i've i've heard them all so i'm excited but i'm excited for everyone to listen to them week by week white panda they are so fucking good and i that was actually one of the most random follows that i got that i was like oh fuck yes because it happened a couple years ago but uh barely legal if you've never there are like year-long remixes they used to put out do they still do those

Speaker 45 I mean, 2016, I think, was the last one I remember.

Speaker 21 So good.

Speaker 29 The best. The best.

Speaker 14 So shout out to the guys from White Panda.

Speaker 48 Go listen to them right now.

Speaker 21 Okay. First up, is

Speaker 45 about to be right chocolate mouth for real cover. They titch real good.

Speaker 21 Damn, nail it.

Speaker 29 Is Pat Riley dead yet?

Speaker 14 Pat Riley was trending.

Speaker 21 I thought he died.

Speaker 29 He did not. He did not die.
Thank God.

Speaker 48 And that was his Pat Riley dead yet.

Speaker 29 He's as alive as he's ever been.

Speaker 21 He was on a boat with Dwayne Wade,

Speaker 30 dressed like a pirate,

Speaker 29 dancing, cut in an absolute rug.

Speaker 14 And yeah, he's just one of those guys who, as he gets older, he's cooler.

Speaker 29 Yeah, he looks awesome. And with Dwayne Wade, it's one of these situations where a guy retires, and now he just hangs out with other retired people.
So, like,

Speaker 29 once you stop working, I feel like you don't really have an age anymore. You're just like, now Dwayne Wade's an old guy.
Right.

Speaker 48 Pat Riley has to be, and it's not Mount Rushmore season anymore, but has to be on the Mount Rushmore of greatest stories that he holds in his brain.

Speaker 3 If you sit down, think about it.

Speaker 44 The Showtime Lakers, the Knicks in the 90s, Dwayne Wade and LeBron, like winning the championship with Shaq and Dwayne Wade, he has seen and done so many things.

Speaker 15 I guarantee you, he just has stories on top of stories, on top of stories.

Speaker 29 Yeah, I would also say that he's probably on a Mount Rushmore of cool, slick-ass old dudes. Yes.

Speaker 13 He was a slick-ass young dude.

Speaker 29 Yeah, but now he became a slick-ass old dude. Yeah,

Speaker 29 he's almost younger now that he's old, if if that makes sense.

Speaker 13 Rare to happen, usually, slick-ass young dudes age poorly, very poorly.

Speaker 29 Yeah, uh, who do you think is a better old man dancer, him or Mac Brown?

Speaker 19 Mac Brown, damn, Mac Brown, fuck, he's so good at the media shit.

Speaker 44 Like, the way he was crying after the game, it's like, God damn it, you did it again, Mac.

Speaker 13 You fucking did it again.

Speaker 8 And then his dance, he has not missed a beat on the how can I get more recruits to UNC, cry about my kids, and then dance in the most awkward way possible.

Speaker 29 That's kind of endearing. Yeah, no, he always looks like he's a father doing like a choreographed father's daughter dance at a wedding.
Right.

Speaker 29 Like the little hand motions that he was doing, just corny, but lovable.

Speaker 21 Lovable. Lovable.
Yeah.

Speaker 37 So shout out Mac Brown being back.

Speaker 17 All right, next up, we have, we already did talking tennis.

Speaker 26 Because

Speaker 29 we're on a collision course,

Speaker 29 and Rafa in the finals

Speaker 29 to once and for all determine who's a goat.

Speaker 30 We have bad visual Joe West.

Speaker 21 He fell on Rajay Davis.

Speaker 29 Is he okay?

Speaker 47 He did the move where he actually put more.

Speaker 18 I had to delete the clip because I'm always scared of the MLB, but I had it up for a while.

Speaker 16 He fell on him, and then to get off of him, he put all of his weight on his lower back.

Speaker 14 And the whole thing was ridiculous because Joe West essentially was saying, I'm too lazy to move three feet when I know there's going to be a play at the plate.

Speaker 31 It's Joe West's area.

Speaker 16 Extremely relatable. Yeah.
He does not give a fuck anymore.

Speaker 29 I have to imagine if you were to make a list of people that you'd want to fall on you, Joe West would probably be towards the top.

Speaker 29 He's got a body type that seems like it would feel kind of nice to have him land on you. Pillowy? Yeah, very pillowy.

Speaker 29 There should be a Korean massage where it's just they bring Joe West in, I don't know, and then he just trips and loses his balance and then has to excuse himself and waddle out.

Speaker 7 The visual of Joe West falling on top of you and then like being on top.

Speaker 21 And he was on top of him for a while.

Speaker 29 Yeah, though, you got to go face down.

Speaker 21 that's why you do it on a massage table where you're looking through those but then i don't think joe west i think joe west is like a turtle on its back like if joe west goes to the ground or like a horse like you can't let a horse or was it a cow well if a cow goes on the ground you got to kill it not calling joe west the cow

Speaker 27 but when joe if joe west goes all the way to the ground I don't think he's ever getting up again.

Speaker 44 They're bringing out the apron.

Speaker 7 They're putting it around him

Speaker 49 the shower curtain and shooting him like a horse.

Speaker 29 Yeah, the tarp might be one answer.

Speaker 29 If you just get like another portly guy in like a a turtle, to just walk over to him and belly up and just roll him over onto his feet again, I think that would probably work too.

Speaker 29 He just needs somebody with his exact body type. He needs Kevin Farley to come in and just be like, hey, stand up.

Speaker 49 Right, right, yeah. Just come on.

Speaker 29 Get him to bump you up. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 16 Bump each other up and then they both end up in the mud.

Speaker 21 And then we just have to blow up the whole stadium.

Speaker 29 It's the worst thing.

Speaker 49 Because you're just never getting out of there.

Speaker 21 All right.

Speaker 24 Last up before we get to hashtag hyphy.

Speaker 22 I don't even know what we're calling this one.

Speaker 29 LeBron, just LeBron's an asshole. Let's just go

Speaker 29 business hour with LeBron.

Speaker 8 Okay, and I'm sure the LeBron stands will get in my mentions and be like, you just hate him.

Speaker 49 You just hate him.

Speaker 21 Whatever. Fine.

Speaker 19 I do just hate him.

Speaker 43 He is trademarking Taco Tuesday.

Speaker 21 Trying. Trying.
Trying to.

Speaker 44 This is the guy who, his big inventions, his big ideas, business ideas.

Speaker 40 Yeah.

Speaker 22 Talking in a barbershop.

Speaker 29 With his friends.

Speaker 14 With his friends.

Speaker 17 Space Jam 2.

Speaker 44 Remember when he created Plinko?

Speaker 3 The greatest game of all time?

Speaker 13 Literally the greatest game on Price is Right.

Speaker 44 He was like, I'm just going to make, I'm going to call it the wall and put it on ABC.

Speaker 27 I'm LeBron James.

Speaker 29 He invented book clubs.

Speaker 21 He invented book clubs. He invented

Speaker 26 Samilliers,

Speaker 44 Sommoliers, Shi Shing.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 14 And he has invented now Taco Tuesday, which has been trademarked by, what was it, Taco Johns?

Speaker 29 I was going to say Competition Tuesday for Coach O.

Speaker 29 Does he really think he created this? Yes. Yes, you can trademark Taco Tuesday.
He's one of those guys.

Speaker 12 He thinks that anything he says, he's doing in a service because it's LeBron.

Speaker 21 So it's like, yeah. He's the goat.

Speaker 48 The same guy.

Speaker 29 Listen, if you scream anything loud enough

Speaker 29 into your Instagram stories, it becomes your trademark. If you do it for enough weeks in a row.

Speaker 38 I don't know how you, LeBron people, wake up in the morning.

Speaker 19 Let me just say that.

Speaker 39 As nicely as possible.

Speaker 29 With a bunch of rings.

Speaker 21 Only three. A bunch.

Speaker 29 Not a bunch. A bunch of rings.

Speaker 12 A bunch would imply more than three is a few.

Speaker 42 Yeah, a bunch. You had to endorse some brutal, brutal finals losses.

Speaker 21 Okay, so I'm not endorsing his finals losses.

Speaker 29 What I am endorsing is the fact that he owns getting a haircut and eating tacos. Yes.

Speaker 29 Hanging out in a barbershop with your friends and eating Mexican food is property of LeBron James. And it seems like that's I'm actually just describing DJ Collins' life.

Speaker 39 Do you, you, you know how, like, when you go into a pitch and you're, they always say, like, don't compare it to something else that's really good.

Speaker 21 Yeah. Like, don't be like, Hey, I got Uber for scooters.

Speaker 3 LeBron just goes into a pitch.

Speaker 48 He's like, I got Plinko.

Speaker 29 I got Plinko. But I said it.

Speaker 21 I got Plinko.

Speaker 3 That's it. That's the end of the pitch.

Speaker 29 I actually wouldn't put it past LeBron to be like, in a business meeting, this is Uber, but for tacos

Speaker 29 on Tuesday.

Speaker 29 But you can only order on Tuesday. It's a gig economy where everyone out there is their own chef and they're all making their own tacos.

Speaker 30 God damn it. I love it.

Speaker 21 All right.

Speaker 17 Last up, we have a hashtag hyphi.

Speaker 21 So, oh, by the way, we're going to have a show tomorrow.

Speaker 5 So back-to-back shows.

Speaker 39 We're going to do, we have Jerry Ferrara, Turtle.

Speaker 48 You might know him as Turtle.

Speaker 39 Awesome interview. And also, we're going to recap Hard Knocks the season finale.

Speaker 45 Speaking of back-to-back PFT, we haven't talked about this since last week, so I don't know if you've cooled down on it, but is that diss track still happening?

Speaker 21 Oh, yeah, the diss track. It is coming.

Speaker 29 I wrote it on Friday. So, yes, I'm continuing my battle against Drake, even though he did write the seminal lyric of Our Generation.
Imagine if I never met the Broskis.

Speaker 29 That was good, and I mentioned that in my song, Tip of the Cap, Drake. But I'm coming at his ass.
And I wrote, I basically

Speaker 21 heard some of it. I've heard some of it.

Speaker 16 I murdered him.

Speaker 29 Like, he's dead. He's already dead.
I haven't even laid it down to you. I almost feel bad putting Drake out of business like this.

Speaker 49 I need a fumble.

Speaker 21 That's a hot.

Speaker 27 It happened in Stanford Northwestern when I didn't need one.

Speaker 29 Hank, when are we going to put out back-to-back?

Speaker 21 Friday?

Speaker 29 Friday. Okay.
Nice little treat taking you into NFL weekend. I like it.

Speaker 18 I like it.

Speaker 21 I love it.

Speaker 21 Okay, hashtag hyphy.

Speaker 29 Imagine if Drake responds.

Speaker 29 Does he have one of those lame Twitter hands?

Speaker 21 It would be the first time.

Speaker 29 His Instagram handle is what he's doing.

Speaker 21 Oh, damn, Hank. Oh, yeah.
You got him. Get him, Hank.

Speaker 29 Is he champagne poppy on Twitter?

Speaker 29 You don't know.

Speaker 21 I don't think he's going to be.

Speaker 23 Is he that champagne poppy guy?

Speaker 43 Yeah.

Speaker 43 Saw somebody say that.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 37 You know. He doesn't tweet.

Speaker 29 All I'm saying is

Speaker 29 the second family was mentioned a lot in the lyrics, et cetera. You You went there.

Speaker 21 A lot. You went there.

Speaker 21 That's, dude, that's. You broke bro code.
Yeah, I did. Big time.

Speaker 29 Well, I mean, you can say it about Bartolo Cologne. You can say it about Drake.

Speaker 21 That's true. All right.

Speaker 17 Hashtag hyphi.

Speaker 40 So I think when we created this, it was just explain a hashtag.

Speaker 39 And right now, there's a hashtag trending called Things We Should Cancel.

Speaker 21 LeBron. No.
Yes.

Speaker 27 Taco Tuesday.

Speaker 29 If you cancel LeBron, you also cancel tacos.

Speaker 43 You realize that.

Speaker 21 And making fun of LeBron. Uh-huh.
True. So we can't do that.

Speaker 22 Yeah. No, I'm right, Hank.

Speaker 40 You would miss it.

Speaker 21 We all would miss it.

Speaker 37 I want to cancel comedy specials because I'm sick of people telling me, I haven't even seen the Chappelle special, but

Speaker 30 I know I'm not supposed to like it, or I am supposed to.

Speaker 48 I just want to watch a comedy special and laugh, but now it's become something that I have to have a very strong opinion about.

Speaker 29 Oh, yeah, whichever way you respond to it, then you fall, you're that guy on whatever side of the argument. argument.
There's like no gray area whatsoever. I watched it.
I thought it was okay.

Speaker 29 Oh, am I allowed to say it was okay?

Speaker 21 No, dude. It was okay.
I don't think so.

Speaker 29 The parts that he's getting criticized for,

Speaker 29 it was kind of weird how he handled some of it where basically for half the show, he was like, I'm going to say some stuff that people are going to get mad at me for saying, but I'm going to say it right now.

Speaker 21 He's going to go there. Give permission to go there.

Speaker 29 Yeah, permission to go there. Which is like a weird way to frame it.
If you're going to tell jokes and not be afraid to go there, then the jokes need to be really, really, really funny. Yes.

Speaker 29 And sometimes they were, sometimes they weren't. I thought it was okay.
Is that okay for me to think

Speaker 29 it was like, I'm exactly 50-50 on that.

Speaker 16 No, you're not.

Speaker 48 It's not okay. So I'm ready to cancel comedy specials.

Speaker 49 I don't want to do comedy anymore.

Speaker 14 Okay. Just forget about it.

Speaker 29 When did we start?

Speaker 35 It's not worth it. Yeah, it's not worth it.

Speaker 20 What else do you, what do you got?

Speaker 29 I'd like to cancel. Well, I'm told that we already are canceling Christian Girl Autumn.
Is that true? I was getting all set for it. I got some lip gloss.
I got some riding boots.

Speaker 29 I got some nice jeans, big hat, some scarves. But I'm told that Christian Girl Autumn is is getting canceled.
Okay.

Speaker 21 That's fine. Is that news to you? I don't want to.

Speaker 22 It's not something I want to.

Speaker 29 I've heard fuckboy fall is happening. Oh, nice.

Speaker 21 What about

Speaker 43 Hot Boy Summer? Are we just going to roll that?

Speaker 21 Yeah, we can roll that. We still got

Speaker 21 hotness.

Speaker 29 That rolls into fuckboy fall.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I didn't use all my hotness up.

Speaker 29 What about I was thinking September where we just take a lot of, we eat a lot of tumps.

Speaker 21 I like that. Avoid heartburn.
I like that.

Speaker 29 Be responsible.

Speaker 48 How about hurricanes?

Speaker 49 Just cancel.

Speaker 14 If we canceled hurricanes, maybe that's really the idea.

Speaker 13 Fuck putting ice in the Air Force, just cancel them on Twitter.

Speaker 45 I think it's like an ecosystem thing, though.

Speaker 21 What?

Speaker 45 You take away hurricanes, and then the whole world crumbles.

Speaker 29 That's true.

Speaker 29 How does that work?

Speaker 21 That's just my understanding of that. Flooding and erosion.

Speaker 29 Everything you just said is right. Okay, Hank's right.

Speaker 29 What if we stopped naming hurricanes and we stopped giving them the distinction of

Speaker 29 having a proper name?

Speaker 29 I feel like we're giving hurricanes too much of the spotlight when all they're doing is just destroying everything. We should just call them Evil Storm.

Speaker 45 They should put the names for hurricanes up for auction, and then all that money goes to fighting the hurricane.

Speaker 21 Yeah, but then companies.

Speaker 48 GoFundMe.

Speaker 45 Yes, companies. No, but companies will bid with each other to be like hurricane progressive.

Speaker 29 No such thing as bad press. Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 29 What if you just named hurricanes like if you were to name a hurricane after your ex?

Speaker 29 That'd be pretty sick, too.

Speaker 34 What if we did the windmill thing and it was a text?

Speaker 30 You know, it's like text to this number for a dollar to the Red Cross.

Speaker 48 If you texted it and then the text message controlled the windmills.

Speaker 29 So every time you hit it.

Speaker 21 Text it, it windmills.

Speaker 29 Why don't we hook up every single Peloton bike in the world

Speaker 29 That episode of Part of My Take was brought to you by Figs. I think there's something all of us can agree on.

Speaker 29 Nurses, doctors, dentists, and people who work in medicine and healthcare are pretty awesome. And all of us can think of a time when a medical professional helped us or a family member.

Speaker 29 These amazing people dedicate their lives to caring for and serving others. Shouldn't these amazing people wear scrubs that make them feel good? I sure think so.

Speaker 29 What these amazing people do every day is more than a job, and what they wear is more than a uniform. They should wear scrubs that help them feel good and perform at their best.

Speaker 29 Well Figs has them covered. Figs is an amazing company that's making scrubs stylish and functional for the people who deserve it the most.

Speaker 29 For years, doctors, nurses, dentists, and other awesome medical professionals were forced to wear scratchy, ill-fitting scrubs.

Speaker 29 Not only were they ugly and uncomfortable, but they weren't designed with innovative technical properties to protect and hold life-saving tools. Well, guess what?

Speaker 29 Figs creates the highest quality medical apparel so that medical professionals look their best, feel their their best, and perform their best every day. Every set of Figs is antimicrobial.

Speaker 29 It protects from germs, protects from bacterias, ridiculously soft, it's moisture-wicking, and features four-way stretch.
