Speaker 2 It wasn't jewel.

Speaker 12 This will be the start of the podcast.

Speaker 13 It was only 2%.

Speaker 11 Put it close to your mouth.

Speaker 15 You just jeweled.

Speaker 11 This is the cold opening of the podcast.

Speaker 2 I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 16 I just saw smoke come out of your mouth.

Speaker 11 No, it's a smog.

Speaker 2 It's a smog. We're in LA.
There's a lot of smog in the city. Hey, close those windows.
You know what? Smog's getting in.

Speaker 17 It's actually technically

Speaker 14 Wednesday on the east coast, so you made it all the way to Wednesday.

Speaker 2 I did, and I'm allowed to drool after a long day's work. No, I'm not.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Okay. We're on the jewels.

Speaker 3 Well, on today's part of my take, we got Scott.

Speaker 16 I just almost said Scott McVay.

Speaker 11 Scott McVay.

Speaker 2 On today's part of my take, we're not high. Rams coach Sean McVay.
It's been a long day.

Speaker 6 Yes, so we start, we have a Grit Week 19 update.

Speaker 20 It's been wild.

Speaker 21 We've been all up and down the

Speaker 22 LA coast.

Speaker 23 We saw the boo.

Speaker 24 We have some NBA playoffs to talk about.

Speaker 18 I guess the Blues are going to the Stanley Cup final.

Speaker 26 I'm not sure if we want to address it or not.

Speaker 24 Hot seat, cool throne.

Speaker 26 Guys on chicks.

Speaker 14 Anna Kendrickson AWL.

Speaker 27 A lot of show.

Speaker 26 A lot of fucking show.

Speaker 28 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the hole is greater than the sum of its sauce.

Speaker 28 Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce, only at McDonald's for a limited time at participating McDonald's.

Speaker 30 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 30 I'm the sun. But them, no way, gonna

Speaker 31 It's part of my take presented by BarStool Squad.

Speaker 32 Welcome to Part of My Take presented by the Cash App.

Speaker 33 Put in promo code BarStool, you get $5 and you send $5 to ASPCA helping animals.

Speaker 1 Today is Wednesday, May 22nd, and it's Grit Week 2019, day

Speaker 11 two.

Speaker 11 Two and a half.

Speaker 37 Three, day three.

Speaker 2 Two and a half. The weird thing about being on the West Coast is at nighttime, it's only 10.30, but I still feel like tomorrow morning I have to wake up on East Coast time.
Yes. So I feel like...

Speaker 2 I'm looking at the clock and I'm like, you know what? It's 1.30 right now.

Speaker 2 But it's also been one of those days.

Speaker 1 It's been one of those days.

Speaker 38 We've gone everywhere.

Speaker 3 I think there was maybe some misconceptions about Grit Week 2019 because we're in Southern California.

Speaker 19 It's Grit Week because we're doing as many fucking interviews as we can for you guys.

Speaker 39 And we did four today.

Speaker 27 We got another five tomorrow, five the next day.

Speaker 40 It's non-stop.

Speaker 41 We were up and down the coast.

Speaker 42 We interviewed

Speaker 3 Jay Glazer, worked out with him coming Friday. Kicked her ass.
We interviewed Sean McVay, which you're about to hear.

Speaker 38 We interviewed Andrew Whitworth.

Speaker 42 We interviewed Zach Efron.

Speaker 2 And we did a YouTube video for Zach Efron's channel.

Speaker 32 Who is actually a listener to this podcast, which is crazy in its own right.

Speaker 22 And we've known that for a few months now.

Speaker 40 So we finally met him, and he's fucking awesome.

Speaker 2 Better looking in person.

Speaker 26 Callie vibes to the max.

Speaker 20 Eyes.

Speaker 2 The eyes are nice.

Speaker 11 The eyes are very nice. I lost myself in the eyes.

Speaker 2 I feel like when we make the inevitable part of my tech movie, which we should probably cast at some point, he's going to be my body double.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 2 Because we're playing ourselves, so you just have to pick a body double.

Speaker 24 Okay.

Speaker 30 My body double.

Speaker 11 Jason Momoa.

Speaker 24 My body double would be Kevin James.

Speaker 48 He probably probably did some work.

Speaker 23 But yeah, it was crazy.

Speaker 20 It's been a wild day.

Speaker 3 Grit week has been fun.

Speaker 3 And yeah, Zach Efron is awesome, and he listens to the podcast.

Speaker 25 What's up, Zach?

Speaker 8 Yeah. Hey, Zach.

Speaker 2 What's up, man? Yeah, we just came from your show. Your show is coming out on Wednesday.

Speaker 38 And Zach Efron got Anna Kendrick to become an AWL.

Speaker 33 That's pretty cool.

Speaker 8 So he face-timed her.

Speaker 11 Relentless. Relentless.

Speaker 11 Well, you'll listen.

Speaker 24 We're going to run Zach Efron next week.

Speaker 51 He called, texted during the podcast, and then when we went back into his house to hang out afterwards, he FaceTimed her again, and she picked up and was basically like, I don't remember following this big cat guy.

Speaker 14 It was an accident.

Speaker 41 But then I won her over with some charm.

Speaker 2 There are no mistakes in life. Correct.
So the Lord works in mysterious ways, and he made his presence felt through her thumb last Thursday night. Tuesday night.

Speaker 2 Well, Tuesday night, and then again on Wednesday morning.

Speaker 48 Yes, right, with the unfollow.

Speaker 2 Yeah, You know what?

Speaker 2 This actually worked out for the best because if she had just followed you and muted you and she was like, I'm sick of this guy tweeting out Kevin White gifts, then we would not be in this place because you wouldn't know.

Speaker 2 Correct. But the fact she unfollowed.

Speaker 10 She's hurt my soul.

Speaker 43 It's better.

Speaker 43 The person who said it's better to have loved and lost and never loved, that's bullshit.

Speaker 27 That's fucking bullshit.

Speaker 8 If you've loved and lost, that sucks.

Speaker 2 You know what she did?

Speaker 46 If you followed and unfollowed, that's fucking bullshit.

Speaker 2 She let you go, and she knew that it was destiny. If you came back, it was meant to be.

Speaker 50 So Zach Evron pulled a solid, and I would say Anna Kendrick loves us now.

Speaker 2 Yeah, she's a big fan. Yeah.

Speaker 54 So,

Speaker 55 she put the refollow.

Speaker 42 I'm probably muted already.

Speaker 21 I don't really care because I'm followed again.

Speaker 1 I already slid in the DMs.

Speaker 45 Probably aggressive again.

Speaker 24 I have not learned from my mistakes, but that's okay.

Speaker 11 Everyone, be cool.

Speaker 52 Don't tweet her.

Speaker 3 But maybe you do and be like, thanks.

Speaker 24 Come on the podcast.

Speaker 46 That was a really cool chick movie you did.

Speaker 53 Yeah, hey, that was really fucking cool.

Speaker 20 Yeah, and Zach Efron, maybe the weirdest, wildest person to be in an AWL, but here we are.

Speaker 18 We're in LA and we're finding out new things every day.

Speaker 2 He's like a younger, smaller version of Bill Walton.

Speaker 56 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And you'll have to find out Wednesday what I mean by that.

Speaker 26 A wild, wild trip.

Speaker 2 Shine on, dream on,

Speaker 2 ab on, carry on, intermittent fast on, Zach Efron.

Speaker 11 Blue steel. Ooh, that's good.
Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 40 You're throwing a blue steel on. Okay.

Speaker 46 Zach Efron.

Speaker 2 Shine on, Dream On, Carry On, Intermittent Fast On, Blue Steel on

Speaker 2 Zach Efron.

Speaker 11 Zach F.

Speaker 11 Zach F for on.

Speaker 48 On, on.

Speaker 11 So, yeah,

Speaker 11 we also,

Speaker 26 I want to throw out a little credit to us as a team.

Speaker 36 We have done many trips together.

Speaker 1 There are always ups and downs.

Speaker 3 I feel like we have gotten to a place of maturity that we have never reached before.

Speaker 11 Okay. I'm going to throw that out there.
It's only Tuesday. It's only Tuesday.
Yeah, you are true. Absolutely.

Speaker 11 We'll probably have our part where we just all go silent on each other, but we hit ups and downs and we kind of move on through it.

Speaker 18 We were in that fucking death wagon, our 1985 Westphalia, for what felt like 10 hours today, driving everywhere.

Speaker 1 And guess what?

Speaker 24 I feel like everyone kept it pretty cool.

Speaker 11 Yeah, it was good. It was a good day today.

Speaker 35 We kind of went with the flow.

Speaker 53 We're figuring it out.

Speaker 26 LA got that LA Cali weird vibes where you're just unconnected from the entire world.

Speaker 2 You know what I think it is? I think when we're in the Westphalia and we're driving by everybody that's richer, better looking, and more relaxed than us, it's like us against the world mentality. Yes.

Speaker 2 It's like we the north from New York.

Speaker 2 You know what? Like all we have is each other.

Speaker 55 We noted that today when we were driving that like in New York, they hide the rich people because the rich people are in places you can't get to.

Speaker 2 Well, the rich people hide from us.

Speaker 25 They hide from us. They're at the Met Gala.

Speaker 12 They're in fucking high-rises you can't even get close to.

Speaker 3 In L.A., everyone's rich and they're out in the open.

Speaker 15 It's just like, that's just what it is.

Speaker 6 People are just rich everywhere.

Speaker 8 You just look and it's like, oh, that's a rich guy.

Speaker 3 Oh, that's a rich guy. Oh, he's just wearing a hoodie, walking on the beach.
He probably has a $7 million house.

Speaker 18 It's fucking weird.

Speaker 2 It's weird. Yeah, it's very weird.

Speaker 2 All in all, good day on the road. Yep.
Let's make some more magic tomorrow. We should probably talk about some sports.

Speaker 17 Yeah, let's talk about some sports.

Speaker 27 Before we talk about sports, if you want to watch Sean McVay interview, go to barstoolgold.com/slash PMT.

Speaker 20 Do that because we get credit for it.

Speaker 8 BarstoolGold.com slash PMT.

Speaker 14 All of our interviews this week, we, like I said, we have like 14 coming.

Speaker 20 All of them have been videotaped.

Speaker 1 So you can, I can't believe I just said videotaped.

Speaker 27 You can watch the whole podcast on barstoolgold.com slash PMT.

Speaker 30 Sports.

Speaker 15 Drake is the worst.

Speaker 2 He is the star of the show up in Canada. So he was rubbing Nick Nurse's shoulders, giving him a little massage on the sidelines.
Dude, you know what, Drake? You're from Canada. You should know better.

Speaker 2 It's like the Stanley Cup.

Speaker 2 You don't touch your coach's shoulders during a game until you win the title he was going up and he was like what happened to the coach's box what happened to anything like he was going up and down the sideline clapping in yannis's face doing all this

Speaker 2 he is like the most he's like spike lee was never this annoying and spike lee was annoying no spike lee was at least good at trash talk right if you have if you have drake mic'd up during a game i bet you he just says like His two go-tos are, that's what's up.

Speaker 2 Yeah. And that's whack.

Speaker 35 That's whack, man.

Speaker 2 Look at my big sweater.

Speaker 51 In your face.

Speaker 24 It's big. Yeah.
Don't make me take out the lint roller.

Speaker 6 But yeah, Drake is the worst.

Speaker 3 We've been on this for a while now, but it's just, listen, and we like the people of Canada, but between the square, the heartbreak square that you got, and now Drake, these aren't the things you want to be known for.

Speaker 38 Like, we want to know you for Kawhi.

Speaker 11 How about Kyle Lowry? Very lowry.

Speaker 10 Where's that coming from?

Speaker 35 And he's no longer a complete and utter bum.

Speaker 2 And that Van Vliet fella.

Speaker 11 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Dude, Dude, shout out Van Vliet with Shaw State.

Speaker 12 He and Ron Baker, Ron Baker Moneymaker.

Speaker 3 They played there for about 15 years, won, I don't know, 7,000 regular season games and went to a couple of Sweet 16s.

Speaker 38 And I still, if you told me that they were there, I'd be like, yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 2 This to me feels like one of those...

Speaker 21 Home win, home win, home win, home win, home win, home win, home win games.

Speaker 11 Never break serve.

Speaker 2 Never break serve. The series hasn't started yet.
We do know that American Bucs are worth less in Canada. Sure.
So it's not surprising that they're not performing at a game one and two level.

Speaker 2 Although they were pretty good game three.

Speaker 2 But yeah, Canada is holding serve as a nation. Congrats.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so that series, I mean, I'm happy that we at least have a series.

Speaker 36 So we might even get a game six or game seven.

Speaker 2 I was going to have to dig pretty far into the well for some hockey takes if this series had just kind of fizzled out. Right.

Speaker 3 We would have had, because the NBA does that stupid thing, too, that no matter what happens, they wait until the final starts.

Speaker 2 So we would have had to wait an entire eight days for the finals to start which is very weird but the series obviously is going uh at least six and i would guess seven like you said the the serve is being held as i said i've said this entire playoffs the bucks you know who knows if they'll make the finals who knows i've been saying it who knows and so we say that because on the other side the warriors have done what the warriors always do They swept the Blazers, the Blazers, ready for this stat?

Speaker 51 I got two stats for you, PFT.

Speaker 60 Hit me.

Speaker 22 The Warriors swept the Portland Trailblazers despite trailing for more minutes in the series, 101 minutes, than they led 83 minutes.

Speaker 2 That's insane. They're sudden.

Speaker 1 That's insane.

Speaker 11 The fact that the Blazers, I know, like moral victories, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 44 They had an unblazed, you know, the dame shot was an all-time moment.

Speaker 27 They go to the Western Conference Final.

Speaker 1 Them not being able to win one game when they have those types of leads was insane.

Speaker 55 And now we have the colonel,

Speaker 44 the little fucking seed that got planted a few weeks ago has now become a full tree, a take tree.

Speaker 3 Are the Warriors better without Kevin Durant?

Speaker 34 It is a full-blown take tree that is

Speaker 3 like it's the tree that's like dropping shit on your car now because you can't go anywhere without seeing this take.

Speaker 10 And it's starting to look

Speaker 62 kind of true. Kind of true a little bit.

Speaker 11 Kind of true.

Speaker 2 I mean, they play a more entertaining style of basketball. You know what's so demoralizing is in the game last night, the Warriors were losing at halftime.

Speaker 2 I think the score was something like 70 to 60 or something like that.

Speaker 2 And it's so demoralizing for the Blazers going into the locker room at halftime, having scored 70 points, and knowing we're kind of fucked here.

Speaker 54 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 Because we played the best half of basketball.

Speaker 46 Myers Leonardo.

Speaker 19 Scored 25 points in the first half. Yeah.

Speaker 11 Myers Leonard.

Speaker 47 All-time bad tattoos.

Speaker 3 Myers Leonard,

Speaker 27 he's got the blessed

Speaker 11 inner

Speaker 32 bicep tattoo. Yeah.

Speaker 11 Illinois legend.

Speaker 2 Brock Osweiler tattoo.

Speaker 44 No, his was.

Speaker 44 What is Brock?

Speaker 3 He has an apostrophe in the wrong place.

Speaker 2 An apostrophe at it.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. At all costs, apostrophe-esque.

Speaker 37 Yes, yes.

Speaker 20 So, yeah, Myers-Leonard, all-time bad tattoos.

Speaker 44 But like you said, PFT, 25 points from him.

Speaker 20 They play the perfect half.

Speaker 11 Everyone's hot. Embrace the base.

Speaker 2 What is the best lead that you can go into at halftime against the Warriors?

Speaker 40 Well, I know what it is.

Speaker 3 It's being down 31 points like the Clippers were.

Speaker 2 There you go.

Speaker 11 That's the only way you can beat the Warriors.

Speaker 2 The playbooks out on how to beat the Warriors is just play Possum for the first two quarters. Yes.
And then hope that they just suck shit in the second half because they're not focused.

Speaker 2 It felt like the Warriors, it's weird to say, the Warriors acted like they had the lead after being down 60 to 70 at halftime.

Speaker 34 And they didn't even have a Gudala either last night.

Speaker 3 So it's insane that the Warriors swept that series.

Speaker 38 I did not think a sweep was going to happen.

Speaker 19 And what Steph Curry did, here's my second stat.

Speaker 8 This is from Micah Adams.

Speaker 22 Steph Curry had as many or more 35-point games that series as the following players had in their entire playoffs career.

Speaker 3 Ray Allen, Chris Mullen, Patrick Ewing, Adrian Dantley, Pete Meravich, James Worthy, David Robinson, Steve Nash, David Thompson, Kevin Garnett. He had more in that series.

Speaker 1 He went 36 points, 37 points, 36 points, 37 points.

Speaker 13 Steph Curry,

Speaker 6 the Warriors are not better without Kevin Durant because a superstar gives you more flexibility and injuries and all that shit.

Speaker 3 But Steph Curry is certainly better and can be more Steph Curry without Kevin Durant when the offense runs through him and basically

Speaker 53 he shoots the lights out.

Speaker 1 He gets in these rhythms that you can't stop him.

Speaker 2 We would be remiss if we didn't highlight the fact that Steph Curry is very, he's exhausting to watch as a fan.

Speaker 11 He's off the ball.

Speaker 2 He doesn't stop. Does not stop.

Speaker 40 My eyeball is hurt trying to keep track of him on the screen.

Speaker 26 Yes, he's the dude who, in pickup, you're like, no one wants to guard him because you just know you're going to have to run.

Speaker 27 And it's like, we're all out here trying to get a sweat. Stop trying so hard, Steph Curry.

Speaker 2 I feel like there would be like a little honor amongst NBA players. Like, hey, man, don't tire me out that way.

Speaker 63 Just give one possession where you just stand like James Harden 45 feet from the basketball.

Speaker 2 You stand here. I'm going to stand here.
It's an understanding. We both need a blow.

Speaker 54 Right.

Speaker 53 So the Warriors, I think Kevin Durant probably will come back.

Speaker 27 Also, Kevin Durant, durant from

Speaker 27 i i when i say come back come back this playoffs um kevin durant since sunday when we were talking about him being mad online more mad online went after chris brousard clearly this is bothering him which you know what it's fucking human nature yep like if if if one of us like didn't do the show for a week and it all of a sudden doubled in ratings you'd be like wait what yeah like that sucks so kevin durant i understand that it sucks.

Speaker 27 Maybe just try not to fight with every single person online because that's not going to make it better.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and don't attack a journalist either. Yes.
Chris Boussard is a big time.

Speaker 46 Stand up.

Speaker 2 We did not touch.

Speaker 2 We did not touch on. We need an update from Magic Johnson.
Oh, yeah. Our senior tampering correspondent.

Speaker 44 Wait, because we didn't get to watch the Raptors game tonight. So surely, PFT, he had a tweet summing up the game, right?

Speaker 2 No, but he had one summing up his pregame routine for the game. Getting my skinny pop popcorn ready for Milwaukee versus Toronto.
Exclamation. I think I'm going to go with sea salt and pepper.

Speaker 2 So huge news.

Speaker 11 I actually would prefer butter.

Speaker 2 Yeah, butter is the skinny pop butter is great. Salt and pepper is a wild move for popcorn.

Speaker 11 Yeah, although if you get the white popcorn,

Speaker 22 that's salt and pepper.

Speaker 42 Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 I thought you meant cheddar, like smart food.

Speaker 11 No, no, no, no. I'm talking about the white kernel, like it's the little kernels.

Speaker 24 Yeah. That's good salt and pepper.

Speaker 2 Also, popcorn is just a great metaphor for playoff basketball. Yeah.
It's like this little tiny hard shell thing and then you heat it up and it explodes into a great flour.

Speaker 1 Again, we're not high, but is there anything more loved than popcorn?

Speaker 3 Like in terms of universally,

Speaker 10 obviously bacon, but there's a lot of people who don't eat bacon.

Speaker 50 Who doesn't like popcorn?

Speaker 2 Or as the Native Americans call it, maize.

Speaker 59 Tweet me tomorrow if you don't like popcorn so I can shame you.

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Like who?

Speaker 2 Listen, I'm not a huge popcorn fan if there's no butter on it.

Speaker 11 Right, because there's no butter in the game.

Speaker 19 Okay, but of course you need to make it like

Speaker 19 it's you have to make it to the right way and it's not all popcorns created equal.

Speaker 3 It's kind of like pizza in that respect, but like pizza and popcorn.

Speaker 2 Yeah, everyone likes them.

Speaker 18 Who does not like popcorn?

Speaker 11 Hank?

Speaker 18 You better fucking say you like popcorn.

Speaker 11 I love popcorn. Okay, good.

Speaker 43 Kettle corn, popcorn.

Speaker 2 See, now when you start getting into kettle corn, you're going to get some feedback on that.

Speaker 38 That's okay, though, because I like kettle corn too.

Speaker 40 If you don't like kettle corn, that's fine. If you like regular popcorn, that's fine.

Speaker 44 Popcorn plays everywhere.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and you know what's interesting is popcorn is you know we just eat it as a snack as just like finger food while we're watching a movie or something like that in some countries it's part of a dish yeah so like in ecuador they make popcorn and then they put ceviche on it and then i've done that it's really hot sauce popcorn is criminally underrated as an accompanying food for a dish yes and you can do it like you just said you have kettle corn you got the uh the the big pinwheel that we get in christmas time you got the cevich you can do the hot sauce you can do salt and pepper you can do we have just

Speaker 2 of what we can do with popcorn. You know what? We're going to be the George Washington Carvers of popcorn.

Speaker 48 Again, not high.

Speaker 11 Not high.

Speaker 26 But we just spent five minutes talking about popcorn, and I think, honestly, it was five minutes too short.

Speaker 11 Yeah, we could go longer. Summary, popcorn.

Speaker 2 I'm a fan.

Speaker 63 So good.

Speaker 10 You ever pop it in your own popper?

Speaker 2 I do, but that's kind of for weirdos. Well, just put the bag in the microwave.
Also, an idea that I had, this is actually.

Speaker 38 No, you can make it. No, if you make it, it's better.

Speaker 43 If you make it a little oil, it's better than the bad.

Speaker 2 Disagree. Give me the Orville Red and Bacher, heavy butter.

Speaker 2 But a great idea that I had about popcorn, at your work office bathroom, people should just install microwaves in the bathroom and just pop popcorn, and it'll cover up all the smells. Yes.

Speaker 2 You don't have to eat the popcorn, but just having it

Speaker 2 better than any candle.

Speaker 11 All the time.

Speaker 22 Yeah. And then just dump it in the trash.

Speaker 36 Yep.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 20 That's not a bad idea.

Speaker 61 All right.

Speaker 25 That was poppin' talking.

Speaker 62 The blues are in the Stanley Cup finals.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Well, spin zone, no one's going to remember the Blues because the Capitals' Stanley Cup was so impressive last year, and that lady put her boobs on the glass when a Vetchkin got the cup. True.

Speaker 47 Other spin zones, St. Louis has never beat Boston in any championship ever.

Speaker 11 Oh, okay.

Speaker 19 Okay, so here's the thing.

Speaker 12 There's a lot of people saying that I wouldn't mention the Blues are in the Stanley Cup final. Here's me mentioning the Blues are in the Stanley Cup final.

Speaker 64 Good job.

Speaker 2 Good job. There you are.

Speaker 11 And you know what?

Speaker 64 Good job.

Speaker 47 13-4. And my biggest concern last week was the

Speaker 47 It's going to be

Speaker 47 even Steven.

Speaker 11 This seems like it's a lot of fun. This just sucks because this was the whole thing.

Speaker 34 Like, the St.

Speaker 38 Louis, Chicago rival, like, St.

Speaker 18 Louis Cardinals fans have been pieces of shit forever with the way they treat Cubs fans.

Speaker 11 That's no fans of baseball. Be careful.

Speaker 35 No, they, and St.

Speaker 40 Louis, like, anyone who's listening right now is a Cardinals fan.

Speaker 38 They'll admit this. Like, they made all the jokes.

Speaker 1 They said the Cubs would never win one.

Speaker 38 And then the Cubs won one. And it's like, oh, yeah, the Blues have never won a Cup.

Speaker 40 And now that that could end right now.

Speaker 18 And so it's like, you know what?

Speaker 49 I'm good.

Speaker 33 Congrats, Blues fans.

Speaker 12 This is me being as nice as I'm going to be to St.

Speaker 44 Louis.

Speaker 12 Congratulations to all the Blues fans, especially the Blues fans, AWLs.

Speaker 2 All right, let's take a look at Hank.

Speaker 24 That was so nice of him.

Speaker 2 Let's take a look at Hank's power rankings of what Boston fans have to be upset about now.

Speaker 2 Because now you can't be upset that you won too quickly and you have too much rest because that's Even Stevens. So right now, what's your biggest concern?

Speaker 2 Is it that your all-world tight end probably won't be back until November when he comes out of retirement?

Speaker 47 Yeah, and also, like, the Red Sox swept the Cardinals both times. I think the Bruins, like, in the past, when they played him, swept the Blues.

Speaker 47 So, it's like if they lose even one of the games in the Stanley Cup, that will be kind of a letdown.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 2 So, you're setting yourself up for failure with the gentleman's sweep.

Speaker 55 Here's a take.

Speaker 11 The Blues.

Speaker 64 Fuck it.

Speaker 41 This sucks because I'm actually just being nice, but I actually like the fact that the Blues fought back from a total bullshit call in game three because we have had like this new rash of everything goes wrong.

Speaker 11 The Rockets send a fucking report about the calls.

Speaker 3 The Saints love Saints fans, but you complained a lot. Not saying it's right or wrong, but you complained a lot.

Speaker 12 Blues, they just fucking picked up the pieces and went back to work.

Speaker 26 And again, I want to fucking shoot myself right now.

Speaker 2 There is ball don't lie.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 58 But you know what I mean? Fuck, don't fuck.

Speaker 58 There is like an element of like, this has now become like anything that goes bad.

Speaker 39 It's like, well, the refs, the refs, the refs.

Speaker 3 And then they feel bad for yourself, and the blues controlled their own destiny.

Speaker 2 So, congrats to the blues. Okay.

Speaker 11 Hot seat cool thrown.

Speaker 1 We talked about you way more than I thought.

Speaker 29 Still less than popcorn, but way more than I thought.

Speaker 11 Hey, do you want to go ahead?

Speaker 47 Sure. My hot seat is Artie Lang.

Speaker 47 Recurring guest on the show.

Speaker 45 True.

Speaker 47 He got arrested again, and his mug shot was,

Speaker 47 I mean, simply put, it was terrifying.

Speaker 2 Don't do drugs, kids. Yeah, did you

Speaker 2 expect anything other from Artie Lang?

Speaker 27 Because

Speaker 2 he had the nose issue for the last couple years.

Speaker 47 Right, but it's like you see the front on, you're like, all right, I mean, it's Artie Lang. What are you expecting? And then when you see the profile and you just, it's just flat.

Speaker 11 Yeah. He's just had, like, that was, it's scary.
You know what I mean? I don't even know.

Speaker 47 I don't even understand the physics behind how that happens.

Speaker 2 The human body is amazing, the way that it adapts to things. If you do so much cocaine that you're about to kill yourself, it just collapses, so you can't do any more cocaine.

Speaker 6 Craziest

Speaker 1 craziest mug shot.

Speaker 64 I don't know if I think he probably still can.

Speaker 11 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 2 I'm sure. There's butt stuff.

Speaker 29 There's butt stuff. There's mouse stuff.

Speaker 61 There's all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 3 Craziest mug shot I've seen since Dent Head.

Speaker 2 Oh, Dent Head was an all-time.

Speaker 27 Dent Head is fucking Hall of Fame mug shot.

Speaker 11 He looked like he raced to Marty Medhead.

Speaker 44 You've never seen Dent Head?

Speaker 11 Who is Dent Head? Dent. Dent Head.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you know Dent Head.
He's the guy that has

Speaker 47 Denthead that was a person.

Speaker 11 You know Dent Head. Wrestlers.

Speaker 52 We all know Dent Head.

Speaker 47 And then my Cool Throne is Snapchat.

Speaker 47 They were on the Cool Throne last week for their filters that were turning boys into girls, girls into boys. And now they've come back again with the baby filters,

Speaker 11 which are hilarious.

Speaker 47 People have been putting them, like going back and putting old Stephen A clips with him and his baby. Like pretty much all these videos that were already funny, if you just...

Speaker 47 put a baby filter on it, it'll just go reviral. Incredible.
Like the, it was, I think I saw Stephen A. Smith doing the,

Speaker 11 your first move was getting Lamar Odom, who was on crack, crack, hilarious.

Speaker 47 It's already funny, but with the baby filter, even funnier.

Speaker 1 Also, Snapchat, because I heard there's a hit new show.

Speaker 11 Yes, there is. What's it called?

Speaker 46 Chicks in the office.

Speaker 11 The group chat. The group chat.
The group chat.

Speaker 47 I got that. That wasn't even where I was going, but that's a great point.
Yes.

Speaker 11 The group chat. You should go subscribe to that.

Speaker 19 Yeah, you should.

Speaker 2 What if you put the baby face on me? It would just look like me.

Speaker 47 We can find that out. We will tweet, tweet it out, fall apart in my take.
We'll tweet out Big Hat and Baby PFD. Okay.
And we'll probably do something.

Speaker 47 I mean, we'll just do like piss dogs with baby faces and

Speaker 11 that would actually call.

Speaker 2 That would look more normal than grown men pissing themselves.

Speaker 11 That's true.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, that is true.

Speaker 47 My other cool throne is grocery store meetups.

Speaker 50 Yes.

Speaker 11 Okay. Why, Hank?

Speaker 63 Are we meeting up?

Speaker 47 There's a chance we will be doing a grocery store meetup tomorrow. Santa Monica, AWL's.
We're going to think Ralph's in Santa Monica. Yep.

Speaker 2 They're always funny because it's you don't hear them.

Speaker 11 Ralph's great.

Speaker 2 Ralph's is a great name for a grocery store.

Speaker 63 Oh, also, speaking of meetup, shout out the guy who left a note on our van saying if we needed mushrooms, hit him up.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 25 That was solid. We should pay his ticket.

Speaker 50 Oh, yeah, he had a ticket too.

Speaker 22 He's like, can you pay my ticket?

Speaker 12 I'll get you guys mushrooms.

Speaker 11 Not a fucking opening offer, but

Speaker 2 very strong. Hello.

Speaker 22 My hot seat.

Speaker 2 The nations of Australia, Spain, and Wales.

Speaker 11 They mean Chile? Rugby? What? Chile.

Speaker 2 What about Chile?

Speaker 47 You mean Chile?

Speaker 40 Oh, yeah, Chile. Chile.

Speaker 2 Spain and Wales. Okay.
Because they are in the group of death.

Speaker 47 Is Wales a nation?

Speaker 2 No, it's a mammal.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 2 They are in the group of death against the United States in the London Sevens this week. Wow.
As the boys look to retain first place on the table, it's going to be

Speaker 11 a big, big weekend.

Speaker 11 We're in first place.

Speaker 47 We're in first place. Retain.

Speaker 11 Retain. Oh.

Speaker 19 If we get second, can we stay in first?

Speaker 2 As long as it's not Fiji that gets first.

Speaker 2 Okay. If Fiji gets first, then they're in first place.

Speaker 22 What if we get third and Fiji gets second?

Speaker 2 Then I believe it's a tie.

Speaker 13 So then there's two first places?

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Well, and then it depends on who we get first place.

Speaker 17 Okay, let's say.

Speaker 17 Let's say Chile gets first.

Speaker 11 Yeah, no, okay. Who cares?

Speaker 41 It would be a first for them.

Speaker 34 Okay.

Speaker 17 Give me another team that's good.

Speaker 2 No one. It's just basically using the first one.

Speaker 33 Fiji gets second.

Speaker 17 So New Zealand gets first.

Speaker 23 Fiji gets second.

Speaker 44 USA gets third.

Speaker 18 Is sevens?

Speaker 2 Who's in first? We are.

Speaker 22 No, who's...

Speaker 44 No, Fiji gets second and USA gets third.

Speaker 2 Who's in first? Yeah. Yeah, that's correct.
Who's in first? Okay.

Speaker 54 So USA.

Speaker 2 No, USA,

Speaker 11 who's on first? Right.

Speaker 47 Yes.

Speaker 47 Was the Matt Damon South Africa rugby movie?

Speaker 2 Was that Sevens? No, that was 15s.

Speaker 43 what about the great movie?

Speaker 11 What about the 13s?

Speaker 22 When's that one coming up?

Speaker 2 13s is nobody plays 13s. But

Speaker 11 I heard

Speaker 52 a little rumor that you're very, very

Speaker 1 unfairly rooting for sevens over 15s, and 15s is the real man's game.

Speaker 2 15s is what I played.

Speaker 11 Okay, so why do we talk about sevens?

Speaker 2 I also played sevens.

Speaker 3 Right, but everyone keeps saying, like, yo, don't listen to PFT.

Speaker 22 15s is real.

Speaker 2 15s.

Speaker 11 7s is fake life.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Well, 7s is what we're really good at right now. Well, we're in the best.
And our best athletes are in it. No, we're in first best.

Speaker 2 But the point is that this is the penultimate, so it's the second to last tournament. If we're in striking range going into Paris,

Speaker 11 but we already are.

Speaker 2 We're in first. Which is the last leg.
I might pull a Hong Kong and just fly over to Paris.

Speaker 11 Wait, but we're in first right now.

Speaker 11 How can you say we're not going to be in striking zone?

Speaker 2 We probably will be.

Speaker 11 You never know. You have a terrible attitude.

Speaker 20 You know what they say about rugby.

Speaker 51 Anything can happen.

Speaker 11 I'm going to say it right now.

Speaker 55 We'll be in fucking striking distance because I have faith in our boys.

Speaker 2 I do too. And we're getting our two best players back: Danny Barrick and Perry Baker coming back.

Speaker 3 Perry Baker. That was, I was literally about to say that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Perry Baker's coming back.

Speaker 11 So

Speaker 2 they are on the hot seat.

Speaker 2 The other hot seat is death.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 2 Because

Speaker 2 it's the one-year anniversary of my brother, PFT Cometer, passing away.

Speaker 11 No.

Speaker 2 My brother, PFT Cometer's brother, Eric, passing away, and then PFT Cometer

Speaker 2 being reborn on the same day.

Speaker 2 So Grit Week is a lot like Easter. Right.
In the way that things shake out of the case.

Speaker 23 So you're Jesus.

Speaker 2 Yes, I'm Jesus.

Speaker 54 You're Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 Yeah, well, I have the long hair and also the virginity. So those are two out of three.
But yeah, so back, I've only gotten stronger than ever. In the last year, death could not crush me.

Speaker 2 I crushed death.

Speaker 2 Just put that on my tomb. So that's pretty sweet.
That was pretty sweet. My cool throne is vaping.

Speaker 2 So sansa was vaping on the set in that in that little

Speaker 2 counselor she was vaping on the set of game of thrones making look super super cool um but guess what you're not going to get to me sansa i mean we started the show talking about how you were vaping no i'm just saying

Speaker 2 you might have thought that you look cool on the set but when you you you for someone who's quit jeweling i've seen you jewel so much this week and talk about it and talk about it no you're talking about it this is diet 2.0 you're jeweling all the time every time i look around either you're drooling or dipping and you're like i quit no i'm dipping to to quit jewel you know but you still you know you know what i need to do i need to just start smoking cigarettes to get off the jewel done i might do that but you'll actually just do all of them no because you keep jeweling no i don't i only i jewel after after dinner we haven't had dinner Yeah, we did.

Speaker 2 We ate burgers with Zach Efron.

Speaker 23 It's always after dinner.

Speaker 2 I actually started to notice some hallucinations from the lack of Jewel as we were driving up the coast.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I thought that every car was BMW.

Speaker 3 That was how pretty the boo was.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it was pretty nice. So, yeah, that BMW and Ass Martin.

Speaker 62 My other cool throne.

Speaker 11 My the cool throne

Speaker 2 is talent evaluators.

Speaker 11 Oh.

Speaker 2 Because the NBA knows what they're doing. All top five draft picks from last year were named to the NBA all-rookie team.
So all you blog boys out there, is that what Kevin Durant calls him?

Speaker 11 Kiddie, the blog boys.

Speaker 2 All you blog boys out there,

Speaker 2 you better chill out and give respect where it's due. And that's the top executives.

Speaker 27 First time ever?

Speaker 65 Yeah.

Speaker 11 So,

Speaker 11 yeah,

Speaker 52 we were right. Blog boys were right forever until this year.

Speaker 2 Okay, so we're 75 and 1.

Speaker 11 Okay. Not bad.
Pretty good record.

Speaker 61 Yeah.

Speaker 48 All right.

Speaker 44 My hot seat, the haters, because Stephen A.

Speaker 36 Smith is on your ass.

Speaker 56 So he had an all-time rant about the haters, of which there are many, and Magic Johnson, Rob Palinka.

Speaker 12 Rob Palenka basically, he went after Rob Palinka because Magic Johnson said that he was, uh, Rob Palinka was like undermining him, stabbed him the back.

Speaker 26 Stabbed him in the back.

Speaker 11 Can I just, can we just for a second?

Speaker 2 Magic Johnson's got a giant back.

Speaker 11 Damn, Magic Johnson's got a big fucking back. Uh,

Speaker 13 can we just for a second

Speaker 11 note that Magic Johnson is a master of the media.

Speaker 1 Like, I know he's been getting dragged for a lot of things.

Speaker 63 And everything, you know, when he was a coach, he failed.

Speaker 8 When he was a late-night talk show host, he failed.

Speaker 36 When he was on ESPN, he was failed.

Speaker 38 When he was a GM or president, whatever, he failed.

Speaker 26 But the guy can spin any spin zone.

Speaker 13 He went on first take.

Speaker 44 He basically gets Stephen A.

Speaker 22 Smith on his side all like two hours before Rob Palinka has to announce Frank Vogel as the new head coach.

Speaker 3 basically bringing up the fact that Frank Vogel was their like sixth option.

Speaker 23 So Magic Johnson, hats off to you.

Speaker 22 You fucking know how to spin something.

Speaker 2 Yeah. No, it was great.
He's like Hugh Jackson with a little more charisma. Yeah.
So Hugh Jackson.

Speaker 17 He's what Hugh Jackson looks in the mirror and thinks he sees.

Speaker 2 Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 2 Magic Johnson is to Hugh Jackson as John Gruden is to Mark Davis.

Speaker 48 Right, right.

Speaker 26 So credit to Magic for that. And also the Saturdays.
He'll be on the SATs.

Speaker 3 The haters have been put on notice. Stephen A.
Smith is on your case.

Speaker 11 Cool Throne.

Speaker 41 How about O.J.

Speaker 13 Simpson?

Speaker 19 O.J. Simpson's Simpson's on the cool throne.

Speaker 11 Oh, good.

Speaker 18 Because the number 32 on the Bills has finally been taken.

Speaker 13 The first time since O.J.

Speaker 22 Simpson played, the number 32 has been given out to Sonoris Perry, special teamer,

Speaker 27 sometime running back.

Speaker 2 What's kind of ironic is the guy that got O.J. Simpson's number is probably going to get cut.

Speaker 11 Oh, yeah. Big time.
Get it? Double cut. Get it?

Speaker 57 Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 41 Don't make those jokes here in L.A.

Speaker 46 Oh, yeah. Good point.
Yeah.

Speaker 11 But yeah, O.J.

Speaker 49 Simpson, now you can look at number 32 and think of someone else.

Speaker 55 So he's on the cool throne.

Speaker 2 No, that's very good for the Bills. You're right.
You probably should have done this a while ago.

Speaker 11 Sonoris Perry. Wow.
That's what I think of when I think of 32 on the Bills.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 13 They never actually retired his number.

Speaker 63 Did you know that?

Speaker 2 That's kind of weird.

Speaker 17 It's weird because they could have before the murders, but they didn't.

Speaker 26 And then I guess they just didn't give it out, but it was like a kind of an unwritten rule. Don't, you know, like it's retired, but we're not going to retire it.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 3 But now it's unretired.

Speaker 2 But now it's unretired.

Speaker 11 From the fake retirement.

Speaker 2 Maybe just nobody had asked for it until now. Or maybe it was one of those things where you have to ask permission to the person to get their jersey.

Speaker 46 Oh, no.

Speaker 20 And nobody wanted to be like,

Speaker 2 hey, OJ. Hey, OJ, can I take something that's yours?

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 50 You'll be cool with that.

Speaker 26 Hey, OJ, want to meet me in a Vegas hotel and I'm going to ask you if I can take something?

Speaker 2 Hey, OJ, I was wondering if I could wear a bunch of jerseys around that had your number on it, like your old memorabilia day. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 25 probably not cool.

Speaker 60 But I can't wait because this means our friends at Bills Mafia, there will be some 32s in the stands this year.

Speaker 62 And they'll be like, what?

Speaker 11 Sonora Perry.

Speaker 59 It's cool, man.

Speaker 11 It's fucking cool.

Speaker 48 So good job.

Speaker 20 OJ's on the cool throne.

Speaker 52 Way to go, Bills.

Speaker 3 All right, let's get to our interview.

Speaker 27 We have coach Sean McVay on the show more time than last time.

Speaker 38 Talked about the football, the Super Bowl suites, talked about everything with him, the Super Bowl not going his way, Cliff Kingsbury being hotter than him.

Speaker 27 big-time guest.

Speaker 11 Recurring guests.

Speaker 3 We are recurring guests.

Speaker 46 We are on Grit Week. We're sponsored by Body Armor.
Go Drink Body Armor. We've been drinking Body Armor all week.

Speaker 4 It is

Speaker 54 NFC champion,

Speaker 46 second most attractive coach in the NFC West. Now that Cliff Kingsbury has been hired, we can get to that in a minute.

Speaker 35 You hear about Pete Carroll?

Speaker 11 Oh, Pete Carroll, yeah, very good.

Speaker 11 He's like 70.

Speaker 46 But it is Coach Sean McVay, and we have to start because it's grit week.

Speaker 5 You have to explain to us what grit means to you.

Speaker 57 The standard is the standard.

Speaker 11 The standard is the standard.

Speaker 43 The standard. Well, grit is grit.

Speaker 11 Grit's grit. Grit? Grit is grit.
That's it.

Speaker 11 Just keep it simple.

Speaker 57 You just know.

Speaker 11 That's good. Grit is grit.
All right.

Speaker 2 Right off the bat, I want to talk to you about hiring Blake Portals. I'm acting like you're the hiring manager, and he's a highly prized recruit.
But you were hot on his trail.

Speaker 2 He only interviewed with you guys. He only took one visit.
What was it about Blake when you looked in his eye that you were like, this guy, this is my guy?

Speaker 57 Same reason that you feel the way you do asking that question. No, in all seriousness, though, he and Jared have a great relationship.

Speaker 57 And anytime that you can get a guy like like Blake where when you meet him and I had never met him before he's one of those guys he's got a great demeanor where you're like you know this guy feels like a quarterback a leader then you hear him a couple days out here just the way he commands a huddle you can see why his teammates believe in him and and I don't think you're going to find many guys with the kind of production and experience in big-time games that you know God forbid if something were to happen to our guy has been in those types of games in those atmospheres where you know he's not going to flinch and and uh you know we're excited to get him here and get working with him.

Speaker 19 Are you worried that he's smarter than you?

Speaker 5 He's a genius. I don't know if you knew that.

Speaker 57 You know what? If he is, then I love it. Anytime that you're around people smarter than you, these are always good things.

Speaker 11 Yeah, good answer.

Speaker 2 Yes. How many Wikipedia entries have you read in the last year? Because he's read at least

Speaker 2 confirmed.

Speaker 57 Anybody can edit that, though, right?

Speaker 2 Yeah, but that's what makes it so great. You get all the world's knowledge.
Yeah.

Speaker 11 Like, who's to say that? That is a good perspective. I can appreciate that.
Okay, I got you. You can learn something from everybody.

Speaker 57 So, wait, so how many entries has he read?

Speaker 2 At least four in the last calendar year. Seven, maybe?

Speaker 54 Yeah, confirmed.

Speaker 11 Around the last Wikipedia entry you read.

Speaker 2 Probably the one with

Speaker 11 actually yours. Yeah,

Speaker 11 I don't even remember what was on it. Yeah.

Speaker 11 All right.

Speaker 29 We got to talk about some stuff that's very important.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 2 The Super Bowl obviously didn't go your way because you didn't give us tickets.

Speaker 57 I know, and

Speaker 57 deservedly so. You've had some choice words for me on that.

Speaker 11 I mean, that was a

Speaker 11 bit to our face. Hold on.
No,

Speaker 57 I'm talking about the criticism of my coaching in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 11 Yeah, I might have said some things. Yeah, you

Speaker 11 deserve it. Well, I can appreciate that.

Speaker 46 But you have to understand, like, my job is to say that I can do your job better than you.

Speaker 11 That is a good point. So I'm just doing my job.
You're doing a great job. Very well.

Speaker 11 I love it.

Speaker 2 What we actually said is that, you know, you had that quote a couple weeks ago where you said that if you had to do it again, you would watch less film because you might have overdone it.

Speaker 2 And I said that Belichick is such a good coach, that's actually an advantage for him to coach against a good coach because he can put yourself in your head.

Speaker 2 Whereas if he was coaching against an idiot, then he'd be like, I don't know what the hell to do with this guy. I can't predict an insane person's tendencies.

Speaker 2 So, you should have just hired some moron to drop the game plan for the Super Bowl.

Speaker 11 Totally fooled.

Speaker 2 Yeah, us.

Speaker 57 You know, I really feel worthless right now.

Speaker 11 I mean, that is, it's a high conversation.

Speaker 57 You know, I just finally got a good night's sleep, and now I'm going to be waking up just about this again.

Speaker 57 No, it's in all seriousness though, when you look at those couple weeks, there's an element of when you work, you want to work hard, but you also want to work smart and you can have so many different things and not being mindful of the progression of the season.

Speaker 57 I mean, you think about just there's usually about a four to six game span that you're usually operating on while still being mindful of situations.

Speaker 57 And then you got this, you know, two weeks and you don't want to short yourself.

Speaker 57 And I'd be lying if I said, you know, if things go a little off track, you probably have too many thoughts in your head. And you would have a different rhythm.

Speaker 57 I don't necessarily know if you're working any less hard for the preparation, but, you know, Coach Belichick and the Patriots are, you know,

Speaker 11 they're the standard.

Speaker 33 They are the standard.

Speaker 5 So perspective-wise, obviously,

Speaker 21 everyone's just leaving right now.

Speaker 19 Everyone's leaving practice.

Speaker 5 So, perspective-wise, obviously, you never want to lose the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 But was there a moment where you're like, I'm 33 and I just went to the Super Bowl?

Speaker 46 Like, in my second year as a head coach

Speaker 57 with Jeff Fisher's team. I don't think you ever really go that direction on it.

Speaker 57 I think what you do want to make sure is that when it ends like that, you don't take away from all the things that the team accomplished.

Speaker 57 Because a lot of times you hear about how demoralizing it can be. It's the last game.
There's so much said about it. And those things are real.

Speaker 57 But I think we can choose how we respond and not being, you know, you want to appreciate the entirety of to get to that point while never being satisfied. You don't win it.

Speaker 11 Right.

Speaker 57 But I think the way that you handle it can be something that can be a positive response as opposed to letting it be demoralizing.

Speaker 11 Right. Right.

Speaker 57 Like, like it can be if you allow it to be.

Speaker 2 Did you do anything to just get your mind off it? Yeah, a lot of drinking.

Speaker 11 Yeah. Ice cream.

Speaker 11 That's Sean Payton's move.

Speaker 45 Ice cream and then game planning.

Speaker 11 And you put him in an ice cream spiral. We saw him at the Combine.
He's like, I didn't know that. I watched Netflix and ate ice cream for like three weeks.
Really?

Speaker 11 Yeah, after the NFC Championship games.

Speaker 2 You have to do a lot of CrossFit to make up for all that. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 11 Yeah, so you did that to him. I didn't know that.
A lot of drinking.

Speaker 2 Do you feel bad at all about the Saints games?

Speaker 54 That's actually brilliant.

Speaker 11 No, I don't feel bad. I mean,

Speaker 57 I feel bad that that call became such a big part of the conversation leading up to the game.

Speaker 57 I don't think anybody's going to argue that that call did work in our favor, but there was a lot of plays that took place after that that you just never know. Agreed.

Speaker 57 And, you know, that call certainly didn't hurt us.

Speaker 3 It did kind of suck because, like, Jared, I thought, played a great game, and he came back after having a tough start.

Speaker 56 You coached a very good game, and it's like.

Speaker 2 The narrative is just that call.

Speaker 57 You know what? That's a great point.

Speaker 57 That was something that even Jason Garrett pointed out when we had, the owners' meetings in Arizona is that what we want to avoid, which is why you want to get that rule changed, is that when you've got a great competitive back and forth game that goes into overtime, that was a big part of the game.

Speaker 57 And unfortunately, it was something that it didn't work out for the Saints in their favor and it did for us.

Speaker 57 But that became the narrative as opposed to talking about a lot of good stuff that took place from both teams in that game.

Speaker 2 What's crazy is, in no small part, due to that play, they're kind of changing some of the rules, adding in some replay elements to pass interference.

Speaker 2 It seems like it's going to be called a lot more this season than it was in the past. Are you going to coach offense any differently knowing that there's a greater chance of pass interference?

Speaker 57 Yeah, I mean, I think what you have to do is be mindful, you know, and they've got some meetings coming up where there's been discussion about maybe rewording it and getting some, you know, tweaks to it.

Speaker 57 But that definitely is going to play into just the factor of, all right, when do you want to actually utilize that challenge, knowing that you can use them at the end of the game, but you have to have your timeouts available.

Speaker 57 So I think there is a strategic advantage or really, you know, a strategic approach, i should say that we would take when you would actually put a flag on the field knowing that you have two and then you get a third if you get them both right so you got to be smart about those plays and then having that at the game end of the game in mind as well yeah um you said that bill belich texted you after every game this year are you gonna let him do that again he played every game it wasn't a gym yeah he played you know what hey

Speaker 57 he did a great job he uh you know i got a chance to meet him a year ago and he's been really good to me it was more a couple games right and then you say something it kind of gets a narrative.

Speaker 11 That's our fault again.

Speaker 11 Well, that's everything. Yeah, you know, you've caused me a lot of stress lately.

Speaker 11 Listen, I'll own up to when we love a good narrative. Well, here's the thing: hey, I can't fault you for that.

Speaker 2 If you just talk directly to us, then we're not able to take any of your words out of context.

Speaker 11 Right.

Speaker 2 So, really, every coach that's mad at us should just come on the pod. Right.
And do the press conferences to our face. Directly in my face.
Yeah.

Speaker 11 Well, hey. It's worth it.
That's to be

Speaker 57 taken. I'm going to take that into account.

Speaker 2 So, Sean, you had a great offseason of all your offensive coaches getting hired away.

Speaker 2 And I had, I was wondering if you could walk us through because I still don't think I know the difference between Zach Taylor and Matt LaFleur.

Speaker 2 Can you just give me back of the napkin, how can I tell which one's which if I'm looking at one of them?

Speaker 57 Well, are you talking physically, or are you talking about just their traits?

Speaker 11 One's about a birthmark. I don't know.

Speaker 65 Just give me something to go on.

Speaker 11 I don't know about it. One's going to be wearing Bengals gear.
One's going to be wearing Packers gear.

Speaker 57 That's the best way I can separate those guys. Coach LaFleur, you know, he's going to get a nice tight haircut.

Speaker 57 He's going to look like a military guy, you know, when he gets that thing nice, tight fade.

Speaker 57 I'd be interested to see if now that he's the Packers coach, if he still really cuts his own hair, which he used to do.

Speaker 11 You know, interesting.

Speaker 57 You know, so he's always been efficient, you know.

Speaker 57 You know, and his wife Bri has helped him out with that, too. But it's always looked nice and crisp, sharp.

Speaker 57 It's going to be a tight haircut.

Speaker 69 Okay, I know.

Speaker 57 So Bears game Thursday night. He's going to be looking sharp.

Speaker 11 Uh-huh. He's ready to lead the way.

Speaker 57 And then, you know, know, Zach,

Speaker 57 you know, taller, got a great demeanor about himself. No, they're both great coaches, man.
And I think they've been really instrumental in what we've done over the last couple of years.

Speaker 57 Matt's a guy that I've known for a little bit longer.

Speaker 57 You know, we're, I mean, he's one of my closest friends, so I can't, you know, do anything but wish him the best unless we're playing him.

Speaker 11 And then

Speaker 57 Zach's a guy that I had heard about. You know, big-time player at Nebraska, Big 12 player of the year.

Speaker 57 You know, kind of similar to Blake.

Speaker 57 They have different personalities, but you feel a presence about them when you talk to them. Zach's the same way.
I think he'll do a great job leading with those guys in Cincinnati.

Speaker 56 Was it weird, like having all the, you know, the joke, like, hey, if you had a cup of coffee with Sean McVay, you got a head coaching job?

Speaker 11 Is that weird?

Speaker 57 Yeah, I mean, but it's, you got to, you know, you got to laugh at it.

Speaker 11 It's flattering, but I mean, but you're not nice.

Speaker 45 Pressure on you, too, a little bit.

Speaker 57 I think, really, it's a, but it's a reflection of this.

Speaker 11 You know,

Speaker 57 it's a reflection of the Rams and what we've been able to do. It is flattering, but I mean, I think you got to take it in jest because that's what it is.

Speaker 57 Just like anything else, this is a production-based business. And, you know, you jokingly say it, but hey, you know, there's a lot of things.
You get humbled in that last game.

Speaker 57 And there's a lot of motivation and reasons why you want to make sure that you learn from your mistakes and do better for our guys as we move forward.

Speaker 2 So how do you go about finding the next guys that are going to step into those assistant roles that will then in turn become head coaches?

Speaker 57 You know, I think really is you ask around with people that you respect. You know, when you do some of the interview processes, what are the things you're looking for? Are there similarities?

Speaker 57 Because you're always looking for comps. I mean, it's like when you evaluate players, the easiest way is, okay, who does this guy remind you of, even though everybody has their own intricacies.

Speaker 57 And, you know, we were able to get a guy on our staff and Zach Robinson, who he has some traits that remind you of both Matt and Zach Taylor. And I think this guy's going to be a star.

Speaker 2 He's a blogger, though, isn't he?

Speaker 57 I don't know. Is he?

Speaker 11 Professor State, right? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 57 Well, that's what he did. And it was really, you know, you talk about a job job where he's helped train guys for the combine, played the position.

Speaker 57 So I think there's a level of respect that comes with his ability to connect with Jared, having been in his shoes right away.

Speaker 57 And then, you know, with what he was doing, he studied as much film as anybody. When you ask, you know, he was putting in every coverage for all the past plays in the league every single week.
Right.

Speaker 57 And did a great job for them.

Speaker 19 So I joked at the start about Cliff Kingsbury, but it's got to be a little like he is the hot new guy on town.

Speaker 57 You know what? He is

Speaker 11 a hot guy. But he's the hot new guy.

Speaker 57 You know, the last time I checked,

Speaker 11 I'm still not, I didn't cool off too bad. Yeah, I know, but he's still over the house.
I'm talking about attractiveness. I'm not even talking about football coaching.

Speaker 11 Like, everyone's like, Cliff Kingsbury, he's so hot.

Speaker 57 You know what? I agree. He is a good-looking guy.
And, you know, he's.

Speaker 11 You pranked him pretty good recently, right? I was pretty proud of that. Yeah, so I got to.

Speaker 2 Explain it to the tell the story because it's a hilarious prank by you.

Speaker 57 I can't believe that I actually told this one. It was, we went to dinner.
We were over at Ketch. You know, he came in town with some friends.

Speaker 57 And, and, you know, he obviously has a relationship with Mahomes. And, you know, depending upon how you look at it, you know,

Speaker 57 if you don't fully know the tampering rules, you can, you can get somebody pretty good and have a good enough relationship with Cliff to make the joke and know that you can immediately say you're kidding.

Speaker 57 But I basically told him that the fact that we were at dinner with Mahomes faked like I got a text from Mr.

Speaker 11 Goodell from our mutual friend.

Speaker 57 And I showed him and I said, you know, he'd never text me.

Speaker 57 And when you it it honestly was too good because I felt so bad his face went from you know because he even had a friend that had checked and done her due diligence right and I still made him convinced I know that he was gonna lose you didn't really do your due diligence I said you better call Steve Cotton right away man

Speaker 11 looking at me I could tell the emotion when he actually read it and I mean you know the handsome tan guy went pale real quick I love it I love it so you got your swagger back you know what I'm saying that was the moment you are you're a psychological

Speaker 11 you're really into psychological warfare no yes you are yeah see right now you're trying to you're trying to psychological warfare me

Speaker 11 and you can't penetrate this brain knew i couldn't see your eyes with those glasses on so i couldn't really get what i wanted exactly exactly but you are like you you do these little things like when you were saying earlier matt lafleur great guy very efficient cuts his own hair looks great like he's gonna hear that and he's gonna be like god damn it sean's just gotta stop cutting that's my guy though i love it yeah i'll be here you gotta get him on i know and ask him is he still doing that?

Speaker 2 Well, the first time that I met him, you sent me over there as a pawn of your own psychological warfare.

Speaker 11 Do you remember that at the combine? I don't know what the heck you're talking about.

Speaker 11 You're like, Matt.

Speaker 17 You're like, Matt, go tell him that

Speaker 2 you really like him as a head coach. What did you do? I did it like a fucking idiot.

Speaker 11 No, you did. Oh, that is not true.
I did.

Speaker 11 I did. I went over.

Speaker 2 Here's what I did. I went over and I said that to him.
I said, you're a great coach, man. Really like your play calling with the exception of the fourth quarter against the Colts.

Speaker 69 Okay.

Speaker 2 And he looks at me and he looks like so upset and hurt. And I just go, Sean told me to do it.

Speaker 11 And at this point, I just called you out because

Speaker 2 I realized I was being used as a pawn in your little chess match of all 32 NFL coaches.

Speaker 57 Chess match. That's one of my close friends.
Yeah. It was.

Speaker 58 These guys being dudes.

Speaker 57 But you know what I could appreciate? You had an empathy when you realized, man, he might have taken me seriously.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 57 Yeah. And so it was a good little laugh that he didn't really follow through, but I'm glad that you told him that.
Yeah,

Speaker 2 I had to remain objective because I can't be influenced by the people that we're close to.

Speaker 57 It was a smart play, something that I probably would have done exactly the same thing.

Speaker 69 Yeah.

Speaker 11 So I can't follow you.

Speaker 48 Okay.

Speaker 24 So you, everyone talks about your memory.

Speaker 56 You had a great memory.

Speaker 11 I really don't.

Speaker 58 You somehow didn't remember that you owed us Super Bowl tickets.

Speaker 11 Whatever.

Speaker 11 You remember every play?

Speaker 7 Yo, you. I did.

Speaker 11 Was there any moment like during Super Bowl week where you're like, do I have to actually give these guys some tickets?

Speaker 11 You know, if you actually, if you guys had really followed up and tilted me enough I would have I would have done it we didn't want to go

Speaker 11 yeah we left back in New York we just wanted to make you feel bad for a minute well you did yeah we did all right so so your memory

Speaker 11 uh the the it obviously went viral you had the memory you know of every game every play whatever uh I have one for you I'm gonna throw it out there all right week eight okay last year all right one minute and five seconds left in the fourth quarter all right we're going week eight let me even think about which game that okay no okay third nope Nope.

Speaker 11 Oh, nope. Green Bay.
Yep.

Speaker 35 Third and 10 at the Green Bay 21.

Speaker 11 What's the play you call and what happens?

Speaker 57 How much is left?

Speaker 35 105.

Speaker 11 Third and 10? Yeah.

Speaker 57 Oh, that was a bunch left, toss 19 truck to Gurley.

Speaker 57 And what happened? Got the first down.

Speaker 11 And what happened? What happened? He went down. He did.
Did you tell him to do that?

Speaker 35 No. Because I lost a lot of money on him going down.

Speaker 11 Hey, listen.

Speaker 57 That was smart situational play right there.

Speaker 11 God damn it. Hey, you know what?

Speaker 11 I can only imagine.

Speaker 57 You know what? Todd is a smart player he thinks he is a smart player but listen but i'm telling you what what was the final score of that game it was under 27

Speaker 11 was the under will you ever give the ball back to the cornerback that gives you nightmares if he's got it listen i'll let you off the hook right here listen no i'm not no no actually

Speaker 2 you cost both of us a lot of money

Speaker 11 so i'm gonna give you some there you go but yes that was

Speaker 57 so did you tell him to go down who told him to go down it was a we always are communicating jared echoed that probably in the huddle i bet you toddler get me on the headset next time.

Speaker 11 All right. Hey, hey, Louis said, we've got a bunch left, 19 truck.
All right.

Speaker 57 Hey, let's make sure that we understand this is a Rolex situation where

Speaker 57 time are more important than the points. So go down.

Speaker 2 Rolex situation.

Speaker 57 And then that is pretty badass.

Speaker 11 Search down and go down. That's awesome.
I'd mark it down there. Are you?

Speaker 57 Just go down, down.

Speaker 11 The Rams go Rolex. Rolex, man.

Speaker 2 Are you ever aware of the spread or the over-under-total when you're going into a game? No.

Speaker 11 No, but

Speaker 57 you think that I don't have good buddies that crush me on stuff like that.

Speaker 11 Oh, yeah, of course, of course.

Speaker 57 I am not aware of that.

Speaker 11 You're not winning the game.

Speaker 11 Yeah, yeah, I understand that.

Speaker 62 But you got to understand from our perspective.

Speaker 2 From my perspective, I was very mad at you.

Speaker 11 We're the idiots sitting on the couch.

Speaker 57 That's better than when I went to Vegas a couple weeks after the Super Bowl just to have some fun. First guy I run into says, hey, man, you lost me half a million on the over.

Speaker 11 I said, oh, man, I'm sorry. Yeah, I had that too.
Whatever. Half a million.

Speaker 11 I've said a lot.

Speaker 57 I'm probably a wanted man man for

Speaker 11 months.

Speaker 57 You got to move on.

Speaker 58 Yeah, I blame Todd Gurley, not you.

Speaker 48 So you're good.

Speaker 11 All right.

Speaker 11 You blame me.

Speaker 25 Yeah, my last question. Seeky question.

Speaker 46 Promo code take.

Speaker 40 Put it in. Get $10 off.

Speaker 11 Go to a Rams game.

Speaker 46 Promo code take.

Speaker 25 Do you want to say that you guys are going back to the Super Bowl?

Speaker 29 No. If you go back to the Super Bowl, can we get tickets? If we go back to the back.

Speaker 11 In your back.

Speaker 69 Hey, listen.

Speaker 57 I don't know if I can commit to that.

Speaker 2 Private plan.

Speaker 57 You're asking for more than $100.

Speaker 11 $200. Go to Anchor.

Speaker 54 Part of the the deal.

Speaker 11 $200 cash. Deal.

Speaker 11 Okay. Listen, we got a long way to go.
All right.

Speaker 11 $200.

Speaker 11 You drive a hard bargain.

Speaker 2 What's funny is that the Art of the Deal anchoring actually worked right there.

Speaker 11 Yeah. We went from a private plane to $200.

Speaker 57 No, but you do realize I didn't even understand what you were doing right there.

Speaker 11 You mind worked me. Yes, yes.
All right. Back to the Super Bowl.
$200 cash. Done.

Speaker 11 All right, PFD, you got a last question?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I do have one last question. So I heard that you got into it with Jaguar, or yeah, Jaguars coach Doug Marone not too long ago because you found out that he

Speaker 2 didn't hire you at Syracuse. Is that true?

Speaker 57 No, no. That was that.
So we were having fun with a bunch of coaches

Speaker 57 and there was a chance that I was going to go work with him in a quality control role when he was the head coach at Syracuse. And, you know, he and Bill Bryan are great friends.

Speaker 57 We got a bunch of guys around there. And I said,

Speaker 57 you know, you actually refused my resume.

Speaker 57 But in all actuality, I was very close to going and working with them if the United Football League opportunity didn't present itself.

Speaker 57 But it was much, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I'm going to go with the narrative that you wanted to kick Marone's ass.

Speaker 11 No, you couldn't. Yeah, you could.
I mean, you're like, I don't want to swear against him. Hey, listen,

Speaker 11 I agree with you.

Speaker 57 Coach Marone, I'm not messing with that.

Speaker 43 Yeah, no, definitely not.

Speaker 2 Is there any coach in the NFL whose ass you could kick?

Speaker 11 No. I mean,

Speaker 11 I knew you were going to do that. Yeah, just say your buddy.

Speaker 57 That'd be like a, that'd be like, you know what?

Speaker 65 I got nothing. I think

Speaker 11 I think you could beat up Cliff.

Speaker 2 I think Cliff is fake hot. I think he's not as hot as advertised.
I think he's

Speaker 11 system hot. He hides behind the sunglasses.
He's tall.

Speaker 11 Yeah, he hides behind his sunglasses

Speaker 11 like a real coward. I can't say anything.

Speaker 25 Show him Piffy. Let's wrap up.
Show him the play.

Speaker 11 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 So just one last thing. So

Speaker 2 we want to get a play in your playbook this year that has both Blake and Jared on the field at the same time. These are our two best friends.

Speaker 2 And so I called this one, you know, you like to do these swaggy little names, cute little names.

Speaker 2 This one's called Horses in the Back.

Speaker 62 Okay. You know that.

Speaker 2 Horses in the Back. Shout out, Lil Nas X.

Speaker 57 There you go.

Speaker 2 So what it is, so you've got your lineup, your basic lineup, and then we're going to use Aaron Donald as a quarterback, right? So you snap directly to him.

Speaker 2 Then you've got Blake and you got Jared, and they both run out and they do like a little mesh route here. And as they're doing that, Aaron Donald just adds a fullback almost just barrels forward.

Speaker 2 So they're decoys. So Jared and Blake are decoys.
And if you notice, there's only 10 people on the field right here. So you can even get out there yourself.

Speaker 2 You can be like a split-end guy to the side.

Speaker 2 What do you think about that diagram?

Speaker 57 I think that

Speaker 57 the fact that you never put the square in the middle with the center, I think that's going to be the longest developing draw I've ever heard of in my life.

Speaker 11 Right, right. But Aaron could get that.
He can get you a couple yards.

Speaker 19 Aaron, yeah.

Speaker 2 Have you ever thought about using him as a fullback?

Speaker 57 How long do you expect the boat and Jared to be able to, run these crossing routes?

Speaker 11 Just like in Perkins, Chris, yeah. You go back and forth and forward.
It's like Game of Pong.

Speaker 57 If there's anybody that's going to be able to hold off a rush and wait in the backfield for those two to develop on that

Speaker 69 route, it's going to be AD.

Speaker 11 Yes, I like that. Absolutely.
He can block for himself.

Speaker 2 Okay, feel free to use. At least just use the name, Horses in the Back.

Speaker 65 You probably already have a play called Horses in the Back, don't you?

Speaker 46 I don't.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 11 You've got to get one.

Speaker 46 All right, Coach McVay, thank you.

Speaker 20 Always a pleasure.

Speaker 29 Enjoy it.

Speaker 8 Always fun. Appreciate you giving us some more time this time.

Speaker 11 People love it. It was lovely.
People love it, man.

Speaker 35 They do.

Speaker 11 even though i might say what did i say i don't even know i deserved it yeah i know i can't listen hey i gotta produce yeah i'm a hot take guy so in the moment you were the worst coach i've ever seen coach a football game well you know what i hey i agree with you not gonna deny it

Speaker 11 all right thanks coach all right guys oh man

Speaker 20 What's up, guys?

Speaker 62 It's Big Cat here making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey.

Speaker 2 How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 68 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 4 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt.

Speaker 6 Age four years in bourbon barrels. Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 70 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 so get out there and make your irish entrance anything else just wouldn't be proper lucy's the obvious choice for a true nicotine pouch connoisseurs that's why they're official nicotine pouch partner of barstool sports they go up to 12 milligrams in strength and have unique shape that feels great

Speaker 70 we all use the breakers they're the only pouches with a hydration capsule inside They're a totally new kind of pouch, only available from Lucy.

Speaker 70 You pop it in your mouth, break it with your teeth, and it's instantly hydrated, releasing that nicotine faster, and it's a burst of flavor. No other pouch has that, I promise you that.

Speaker 70 Gas station pouches get the job done, but once you've tried Lucy, you won't want anything else in your pocket.

Speaker 33 Okay, let's get to some segments.

Speaker 26 Thanks to Coach Sean McVay.

Speaker 12 $200 coming our way if the Rams go to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 Dude, they say he is a genius. We wrapped him around her finger with our negotiations.

Speaker 3 It was so fast.

Speaker 2 I hope he's not their general manager because

Speaker 2 Cheryl McCoy is going to be getting $25 million a year. Giving away contracts.

Speaker 3 Okay, we have an oh, you think two of them actually.

Speaker 19 The first is the Wall Street Journal.

Speaker 3 Yes, that Wall Street Journal that is supposed to be the top of the food chain for journalism.

Speaker 2 Well, it is cool how they give you your little pencil-engraved avatar.

Speaker 47 Yes, yes.

Speaker 43 Yeah, that little picture that they throw in there.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 42 it said they wrote an article: The Warriors could not be a dynasty without Steph Curry, Clay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andre Aguodala, and Kevin Durant.

Speaker 2 You think?

Speaker 11 No, Doy.

Speaker 42 I don't.

Speaker 11 What was the...

Speaker 49 I think I'm behind a paywall.

Speaker 2 Well, the Wall Street Journal is notoriously inaccurate at assessing

Speaker 2 how violent and potent weapons are. All you have to do is go back to 2003.
They did a pretty bad job then. In this case, I think they might be correct because they do have good players.
Right.

Speaker 2 And I don't think that they would be as good if they didn't have as many good players. Right.

Speaker 11 Okay. Same metrics.

Speaker 18 So I have the article in front of me.

Speaker 3 Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls never did it. Neither did the Showtime Lakers of the 1980s or Shaq and Kobe's Lakers of the 2000s.

Speaker 3 The only team ever to make five consecutive appearances in the NBA Finals was the Boston Celtics of the 1960s.

Speaker 38 At least they were the only team.

Speaker 15 Now there's another one, the Golden State Warriors, the Warriors.

Speaker 39 Dot dot dot.

Speaker 6 To read the full story, subscribe to the Wall Street Journal right now.

Speaker 11 Memorial articles end with that.

Speaker 52 $1 for two months.

Speaker 3 Yeah. So that was the article.

Speaker 2 Okay, that was a pretty intense article right there.

Speaker 2 So we don't know if we got clickbaited or not, but the headline sure makes their general manager sound like a ring chaser for you just assembling all these great players.

Speaker 20 He's putting together all these guys who helped win a lot of games.

Speaker 22 We also have an oh, you think.

Speaker 16 Nick Bosa pulled his hamstring.

Speaker 2 Uh, you think?

Speaker 14 More of a sad oh, you think.

Speaker 11 Well, it's the Bosa family.

Speaker 20 Bosa family are kind of doofies.

Speaker 15 Doofuses.

Speaker 33 Doofusi.

Speaker 25 Dufi.

Speaker 2 Doofy. Dufi.
Doofies. He did a 23-and-me on the Bosa family jeans.
It's like 15% Anglo-Saxon and then 85%

Speaker 60 silk.

Speaker 40 Yeah, torn hamstrings. Yeah, they're just made out of hamstring muscles.

Speaker 20 They're just stretched as far as they could possibly be stretched.

Speaker 2 They're Chinese because their hamstrings are Ming vases. Yes.

Speaker 21 So they, I mean, what do you, I don't even know what you do with the Bosas.

Speaker 2 I think you just keep them in a hyperbaric chamber until.

Speaker 41 Never bring them out. Yeah.

Speaker 2 If you make the playoffs. if you make the playoffs, fresh legs.
Bring him out.

Speaker 19 Otherwise, don't make them do anything.

Speaker 2 You know what you do? You just use them like Rudy, and you just use them at the last play of the last game. Right.

Speaker 36 And just hope they get a sack.

Speaker 2 We don't know if Rudy had if he was injury prone or not. Right.
He could have been. They just kept him on a shelf.
Yeah, he was. Rudy was actually coddled.

Speaker 38 He didn't get injured in that one play.

Speaker 8 So from my sample size, he actually could play a full season.

Speaker 2 He was the ultimate manage, load management guy.

Speaker 11 Bad visual.

Speaker 18 Eli and Daniel Jones look exactly alike.

Speaker 11 Exactly alike.

Speaker 2 We've been saying that it's a good possibility that Daniel Jones is Archie Manning's illegitimate child. Yes.
And that picture that came out yesterday certainly, I think, lended a lot of credence.

Speaker 2 I think you could just put those side by side, and most people in America would be like, yeah, that guy is somehow related.

Speaker 3 It's now all starting to make sense.

Speaker 1 Dave Gettleman was like, if I just figure out a way to get something that looks exactly like Eli Manning, the fans will be like, oh, well, he might even wear Eli Manning's jersey once Eli Manning stops playing in 10 years or whatever Archie has in his contract.

Speaker 38 It's though, it's the jokes about Eli Manning and Daniel Jones are only going to get better.

Speaker 2 And I'm just starting to convince myself, though, that Daniel Jones is going to be good at quarterback because

Speaker 2 I'm so sure that he's not. No.

Speaker 11 And I'm dumb.

Speaker 16 No, he's not.

Speaker 52 Don't worry.

Speaker 23 He is not.

Speaker 2 The only thing he could work on a little bit more, I noticed his mouth isn't as wide open. I realized

Speaker 11 it comes materially. It comes to practice.

Speaker 2 When they say, because Gettelman did say they were going to have an open quarterback competition, maybe he just meant the mouth.

Speaker 11 Right. With

Speaker 11 a little bit larger.

Speaker 46 It'll be like double dare.

Speaker 2 You just, you keep your mouth open in practice. Whichever quarterback has the most bugs in their mouth, they go to the sideline, they spit it into a bucket until it reaches a red line.

Speaker 2 First hit that red line is a starter.

Speaker 52 Just pour as much water into their mouth, see who can just suck up all the water, all the air.

Speaker 3 That's the Manning/slash Jones.

Speaker 8 Yeah, they need the oxygen tank over there because they're just going to be sucking up all their teammates' air.

Speaker 2 People don't talk about how Eli Manning is an air hog.

Speaker 2 Big time. That's why he's won those Super Bowls.
He hogs all the air. He sucks up Tom Brady's all his air.

Speaker 36 It's like playing in high altitude when you play against the Giants. Good point.

Speaker 8 Because of Eli Manning's breathing habits.

Speaker 2 That's a great point.

Speaker 22 All right, last up before we get to guys on chicks, hurt or injured,

Speaker 33 Joannis Sespidus.

Speaker 2 He broke his ankles in a ditch on his farm.

Speaker 1 Fact check.

Speaker 64 He's getting paid $29 million, by the way.

Speaker 2 Two fact checks.

Speaker 11 One ankle.

Speaker 2 It was one ankle.

Speaker 11 One ankle. He broke.

Speaker 11 He broke an ankle.

Speaker 2 Fact check, two, it was on a ranch, not a farm. Okay.

Speaker 2 And I know this because I saw the initial report and I saw that there was a Met that got hurt on a ranch and I was like, that probably has something to do with Bartello Colon eating pizza.

Speaker 11 Yeah. Although Barto Colon's retired, man.

Speaker 2 He's met for life. He's gone.

Speaker 46 Met for life.

Speaker 24 He's done.

Speaker 44 I actually think of him as an Indian.

Speaker 11 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 64 That's where he came up.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I just think

Speaker 2 since he hit that home run as a Met.

Speaker 47 Yeah, yeah. I think of him as an angel.

Speaker 10 Angel 2.

Speaker 10 Ranger.

Speaker 45 Indian when you first.

Speaker 2 I should think of him as a unit.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 42 I mean, he should.

Speaker 44 Bartol Cologne's one of those guys that, like, we should make a special rule where he should get to start one game for every single team.

Speaker 45 Like, for an entire season.

Speaker 27 Just call up, you get your Bartol Cologne game and just pass him around.

Speaker 38 And he gets to play for every, like, you know, in every home stadium.

Speaker 26 That would be fantastic.

Speaker 2 He didn't even get a retirement tour. No.
That's what upsets me about just every ballpark gives their like seven-foot-long hot dog or whatever their novelty is.

Speaker 43 Yeah, just all the ribs that you can find.

Speaker 19 Your big plate of nachos.

Speaker 1 Nacho Simbrero, give it a Barteau Cologne.

Speaker 2 He should be in the home run derby.

Speaker 11 I mean, he's your pitch and hit.

Speaker 38 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 36 That would be actually fantastic.

Speaker 38 So,

Speaker 64 man, he played for a lot of teams. I'm looking it up right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Indians were the longest team he played for, though.

Speaker 11 So,

Speaker 55 yeah, second longest.

Speaker 63 You're right, Hank. Angels.

Speaker 2 So, there you go.

Speaker 2 When he goes in the Hall of Fame, what jersey is he wearing?

Speaker 2 Or what hat is he wearing? Oh, he's not going to the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 22 No, he's not. He should.

Speaker 64 He definitely is not.

Speaker 36 He did win a Cy Young, but he's definitely not going to fall.

Speaker 2 I feel like a Boston market has a lot of fun.

Speaker 11 He's won 247 games.

Speaker 2 But he has steroid shit, too.

Speaker 22 He does, big time.

Speaker 64 Big time.

Speaker 12 Big time steroid shit.

Speaker 1 247 wins, 2,500 strikeouts.

Speaker 2 He has more families than home runs.

Speaker 8 Four-time All-Star and Asai Young in 2005.

Speaker 10 That's pretty damn good.

Speaker 13 Good job for you,

Speaker 24 Bertoko.

Speaker 52 Not a Hall of Famer, but a very good, memorable pitcher.

Speaker 27 Hank, guys on checks?

Speaker 11 Yes.

Speaker 60 Sup, fellas.

Speaker 34 Sup. Say, hey.

Speaker 47 I just graduated college and I need to buy basic essentials for everyday life, but I'm $22,000 in debt. Like, seriously.
I can't afford a $6 pair of underwear from Target.

Speaker 17 Sell your feet.

Speaker 47 Any life hacks for the post-grad life?

Speaker 47 This was the weekend where a lot of people graduated, so this is a very relatable question.

Speaker 58 Is a moneymaker.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 17 No face involved.

Speaker 6 There's a lot of people who love feet pictures.

Speaker 55 You get a little cash.

Speaker 3 They get whatever they do with them.

Speaker 16 They're going to jerk off to it, but don't think about that.

Speaker 2 Feet pictures. Yeah, that's good.
Also, you could just try to lie and say that you went to, was it,

Speaker 2 what was the college where the guy said that he would pay off Morehouse. Morehouse State.
You could lie and say that you went to Morehouse State and be like, hey,

Speaker 2 my student loan hasn't been paid off yet. Yeah.
Oh, that's probably unethical. Yeah.

Speaker 35 Or do a gofund me.

Speaker 3 And I'm sure someone will pay for it with the feet pictures.

Speaker 53 Do a gofund me.

Speaker 3 You'll release the feet pictures as soon as you get $23,000. Yeah.

Speaker 47 My birthday was last week, and my boyfriend of three years took me to a new bowling alley, then to a craft beer acts throwing place followed by top golf at every single one of these places he used a gift card to pay for it some of those gift cards had been given to him by my parents okay should i be offended no this guy's fucking smart ps he also got me a chicks in the office hat as a present okay listen the the guy he he's playing the hand that he's dealt And it sounds like he, at least two of those locations, he had to make reservations.

Speaker 2 That's as good as you're going to get.

Speaker 3 I love this guy because you know at some point he's like, what, honey, You love top golf.

Speaker 37 You said it was your favorite.

Speaker 11 Like, what do you mean? You love watching football for 10 hours on Sunday.

Speaker 21 You love that.

Speaker 47 My parents got me this for us.

Speaker 11 Yeah, right.

Speaker 37 I want to enjoy this for both of us.

Speaker 11 Good point.

Speaker 2 Also, he's using what her parents gave him back to her. Like, he's making her happy with his gifts.
Yeah. That's actually really, really nice of him.
The gift that keeps giving.

Speaker 11 I bet you this guy.

Speaker 60 I love this fucking guy.

Speaker 2 I bet you this guy just like beat her really bad in every competition.

Speaker 50 Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 44 He definitely also takes her out to to buffets.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he was like, let's go to the axe-throwing place.

Speaker 11 Oh, another bullseye. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh, you're not, you're not very good.

Speaker 54 You suck at this.

Speaker 2 Won't use a driver.

Speaker 19 All right, next competition.

Speaker 47 Hey, boys, my current internship is about to be over, and I recently found out that two, potentially three, guys that are planning...

Speaker 47 Two, potentially three guys there are planning on asking me out after it ends.

Speaker 47 I'm only interested in one, but how do I shut down the other two without burning that bridge professionally or making it awkward?

Speaker 2 Okay, this is very easy. You just ask the other two if they think that the third guy likes you.

Speaker 23 Yeah, or just accept the third guy right away.

Speaker 50 Go ask the third guy out.

Speaker 51 That's actually what you should do.

Speaker 2 Sadie Hawkins it?

Speaker 55 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 Yeah, ask the guy who you like out so that it just stops everything else.

Speaker 38 Or just date all three and break their hearts.

Speaker 47 Hey, dumb thick cat, PFT, and Hank the Haughty. Damn.
My ex and I broke up in January, and then he moved to Australia, but still watches my Insta story and said, happy birthday to me.

Speaker 47 I truly believe the time difference is the only thing keeping us apart. Is it crazy to buy a ticket to Melbourne to surprise him? Melbourne, I should say.

Speaker 11 Okay, here's what the locals say.

Speaker 12 Here's the trick.

Speaker 11 Is there a rugby game? Always a thing.

Speaker 2 Probably always. Okay.

Speaker 57 But not an important

Speaker 2 beating them. Aussie Rules football.

Speaker 11 That's right.

Speaker 2 So here's what's going on: is

Speaker 2 since there is that time zone overlap, you guys are always drunk

Speaker 2 when you. Wait, you're drunk at opposite times of each other.
What is it?

Speaker 39 24 hours?

Speaker 47 No, it's no, it's like 16.

Speaker 2 I think it's like 12

Speaker 2 12 or 13 hours.

Speaker 54 You're just guessing?

Speaker 47 Yeah, it's it's winter over there.

Speaker 2 Yeah, what's tricky is when you're drunk, he's waking up.

Speaker 2 And when he's drunk, you're waking up. So you send each other these messages, and you're never on the same wavelength.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 47 Is it crazy to buy a ticket to Melbourne to surprise him? That is the question.

Speaker 2 A surprise visit across the Pacific is a little crazy.

Speaker 64 I'm trying to fucking figure this out. It's hard.

Speaker 11 I say go for it.

Speaker 47 But is that California 12 hours?

Speaker 11 No. Okay.

Speaker 2 I say go for it.

Speaker 54 Just show up.

Speaker 2 Just be like, hey. 14 hours.

Speaker 22 Good news.

Speaker 2 I'm in Australia. And if he doesn't reply immediately, then just fly right back.

Speaker 27 14 hours, final answer.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 47 This question is all caps lock. Just no.
All right. This question is

Speaker 47 quotes all caps specifically for pft

Speaker 47 i've been hooking up with a guy for a while now problem is i didn't know what i was getting into until he picked me up for our first date we're literally eye level he's pretty hot so i've been putting this off but i can't handle being able to see over his head anymore how do i end things with a short guy without telling him it's because he's short this is just i don't know why that was specifically for you

Speaker 2 well first of all she said that you were the same height and then your story changed Literally, eye level. And now you can see over his eye or see over his head.

Speaker 2 So, my first question would be: which one is it? Also, just say his dick's too big. That's really the easy way out of this.

Speaker 3 Yeah, most short guys have big dicks.

Speaker 2 Yeah, most of us do.

Speaker 2 Not all of us. Right.

Speaker 11 So you admit you're a short guy.

Speaker 22 I'm in a group chat.

Speaker 2 We're all in a group chat, and I know that there are some that don't.

Speaker 36 So you admit you're a short guy.

Speaker 2 I admit that I'm an average-sized guy. Also, I'm curious to know what she means by how short this guy is.
Because if he's like 5'5, ⁇ , he knows. He knows that's why.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 But just be like, hey, dick too big.

Speaker 33 He's probably like 5'8 ⁇ , pretty short.

Speaker 47 I'm just gonna hope this one is fake because otherwise my mind has been blown.

Speaker 11 Oh.

Speaker 47 Hey, PMT guys. Dot, dot, dot.

Speaker 20 Hey, big cat.

Speaker 2 There's like seven whys.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 2 Anyway, everybody poops.

Speaker 47 And with poop comes the accompanying gas. My question for y'all is, one, why when I toot does it sometimes come up the front versus out the butt?

Speaker 15 Oh, that's queef.

Speaker 41 Two, does this happen with guys no out of our dick hole no yeah no if you but it's a queef she's talking about queefs a queef is when your butt cheeks when there's so much uh think about like a brick laying when you lay the brick right and you have the paste that's what you're that's what your poop is doing in your butt cheeks so you're basically putting two bricks together your cheeks so the gas has nowhere to go so it comes out your pussy

Speaker 2 There's a fork in the road and that gas took the road less travel.

Speaker 11 Right, exactly.

Speaker 2 And that makes all the difference. It comes out the front.
It's the perfect seal.

Speaker 35 And it needs to go somewhere. Or it could be a burp.

Speaker 11 Right. Yeah.
It could be.

Speaker 2 It's really like it. Yeah, so with guys,

Speaker 2 it does come out the dick, but that's only sometimes like if you jack off too many times in a day, just a cloud of dust comes out.

Speaker 11 Yeah, right.

Speaker 2 It's like your dick just anointed the new Pope. Right.

Speaker 47 All right, we'll end with this one. Hey, thick cat, Reverend PFT, and handsome Hank.
I'm in college and I've been dating my boyfriend for three months.

Speaker 47 Things have been going great. We are staying at our college campus over the summer and living with one other roommate.
Parentheses, a guy,

Speaker 47 comma, random. Nice.
While drunk on more than three separate occasions, my boyfriend has suggested that we have a threesome with our roommate.

Speaker 47 Oh, I thought this was a joke, but he got pretty mad when I started turning it down. He says he isn't gay or bi.
Nope. What do I do? The lease isn't up until September 1st.

Speaker 2 I think you just tell him.

Speaker 47 Just wait until the end of August.

Speaker 11 Yeah, I would have to.

Speaker 22 Don't do anything you don't want to do, but

Speaker 17 you know what you do?

Speaker 38 You have actually, you should do the threesome, and then then and then be like, hold on, guys, I got a queef, and leave the room.

Speaker 18 And then when you come back, if they're hooking up, well, then there's your answer.

Speaker 2 Well, no, here's what you do. You have the threesome, and then you try to fart.
And whichever hole the fart comes out, that's the guy you were meant to be with. Okay.

Speaker 2 So if it's in the front, it's your body telling you which one to be with. Also, you could just say,

Speaker 2 like, one night, if you're really drunk, you wake up the next morning, just tell him you had the threesome and see what his reaction is at that point.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 63 Or or here's one last thing you could do.

Speaker 8 You could be like, hey, I'd love to have a threesome, but I want to make sure he's good at sex first, so you're going to have to let me fuck him solo. Got to try before you buy.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 20 And see what he says about that.

Speaker 38 And if he's not into that, then it's like, well, don't make me do something you don't want to do or I don't want to do if I can't do it first.

Speaker 2 Or when you start the threesome, do it like in Wild Things. So you kiss the other guy and then you say, okay, now you two kiss.
Right.

Speaker 47 And see if they kiss.

Speaker 1 Spin the bottle.

Speaker 51 Just play spin the the bottle and see if they kiss.

Speaker 57 And then you can figure it out from there.

Speaker 36 And then just queef.

Speaker 2 The moral of the story is just blow some hot air out of a hole. Yeah.

Speaker 36 And see what happens.

Speaker 22 Ask questions later.

Speaker 11 All right.

Speaker 36 Great week 19 continues.

Speaker 1 Hopefully, see some of you tomorrow.

Speaker 3 Ralphs, we got a shitload of interviews coming.

Speaker 38 We're fucking grinding again.
