  Trust no one and accuse everyone. And who's the bad guy? The official Barstool Sports Social Deduction Game from the brilliant mind of Nick Turini. In what's quickly becoming the most popular new party game around, players are secretly assigned unique roles with the good guys trying to expose the bad guys and the bad guys doing everything they can to stay hidden. Each game unfolds under alternating day and night phases with roles like the cool chick, the shy guy, the gambler, el presidente, the mentalist, the planner, the funny guy, and more. Every round is unpredictable, chaotic, and ridiculously fun. Who's the bad guy is great for parties, pre games, family gatherings, or groups who just love deception based games.

  On today's part of my take presented by DraftKings. The Milwaukee Brewers have won the World Series, so we congratulate them. Their first World Series in franchise history happened on Wednesday night. We also have NFL Week Eight Picks in Preview. We watched Thursday Night Football. Uh, yeah, we watched Thursday Night Football. We'll talk a little bit about that. We also have a very special guest in studio. One of the best players of all time in his respective sport, Robert Lewandowski. Really awesome to talk to him. The guy who scored five goals in nine minutes in a soccer game. Pretty insane. He was awesome, though.

• 1:34Speaker 00

  We have Fire Fest, which we will all be dressed up. And also the Bears made a massive trade. They're going all in with Jeffrey Simmons. So pack show. And it's all brought to you by our friends at Pepsi. No game day spread is complete without the great taste of Pepsi Zero Sugar. You spend all week thinking about what the wings, the nachos, burgers, what you're going to dig into a kickoff. But are you pairing it with the right drink? Oh, I am.

• 2:03Speaker 02

  That sounded good.

• 2:04Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's a Pepsi Zero Sugar.

• 2:07Speaker 00

  That is so good. It has a bold, refreshing taste that doesn't just complement your favorite tailgate foods. It makes the whole experience and every bite hit better. It's like hitting a game winning field goal. It's like winning the World Series. I like to go Pepsi Zero Sugar with a slice of cheese pizza. That is where it's at. So grab Pepsi Zero Sugar to elevate your game day today. Tailgating deserves Pepsi. Food deserves Pepsi. Go get a Pepsi today. I'm gonna take one more sip.

• 2:39Speaker 00

  Man, that looks so good. So good. Pepsi Zero Sugar. Okay, let's go.

• 3:08Speaker 00

  Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours. Today is Friday, October 30th, and the Milwaukee Brewers are World Series Champions. For the first time in franchise history, they close it out. They beat the Rays four to one in the World Series. What an insanely impressive team they were. PFT, they were the word I used to describe what the Brewers were this year. Cause they were basically just wire to wire, just the best team. Hundred three wins in the regular season, 11 and two in the postseason.

• 3:44Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 3:44Speaker 00

  They were relentless. They were relentless, both hitting, they were relentless pitching. They just were relentless and they were the best team by far. And I gave up on, on, on like having true hate in my heart about two weeks ago. Cause I was like, what, what am I gonna do? They're just relentless and they showed it. They lost two games. They lost two games in the entire postseason. They did not give up more than four runs in the entire postseason. It was crazy. So congrats them. Special congrats to our good friend, Christian Yelich. Uh, I think we can all agree competing in a homer derby after that, like, what's the point? Like you have beneath him. He has an MVP in a World Series, PFT.

• 4:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's beneath him to participate in like a sideshow. No, no, you got a ring. You don't need to be doing that, Christian. Don't worry about it. Uh, your career, I'd say is finally complete. You've got the crown jewel. Uh, so feel free retire whenever you want. Yeah, they didn't allow more than four runs in any of the 13 games. Um, six, since the playoffs expanded in 69, the only other team to do that, 1990 Reds, 1983 Orioles. Um, the bullpen had a 1.38 ERA. They held everyone to a 173 average. Uh, I believe that's the best of all time in postseason history. And they're just, they're just a fun team to watch too. They're relentless, uh, but they're very, very fun to watch.

• 5:03Speaker 02

  Uh, I think, did they, were they in last place in Major League in, um, in total home runs hit? I believe they might've been, uh, the last in home runs, but they were the second in runs scored. So they play very, very exciting baseball. I like their manager, Pat Murphy, seems like a good guy. Uh, and they're kind of set up to, to keep this thing going, provided we have baseball that continues.

• 5:27Speaker 00

  We are, remember? We are, we decided we are.

• 5:29Speaker 02

  Yep, yep, they're pretty young.

• 5:31Speaker 00

  We are.

• 5:32Speaker 02

  They've got, um, not, not only do they have young superstars.

• 5:35Speaker 00

  They were not, uh, they were not last, but they were, they did not hit a lot of home runs.

• 5:41Speaker 02

  Oh, I thought they were last in home runs hit this year. I thought I saw that.

• 5:44Speaker 00

  I'm looking at it right now.

• 5:45Speaker 02

  Definitely towards the bottom.

• 5:46Speaker 00

  Yeah, it looks like the Rays hit less, the Cardinals hit less, the Jays hit less. But I don't know, I just also AI'd it, so I have no idea.

• 5:54Speaker 02

  Okay, yeah. Um, not only do they have a bunch of really good, talented, young players, they also have, I think the number one prospect in all of baseball, uh, that's not on their team. So their farm system is one of the best farm systems in the entire league right now. So they're kind of set up to keep this thing going.

• 6:11Speaker 00

  Yeah, they, they, uh, there was an article that was written after that was basically like, uh, they were, they were, we already knew it, but they were very close to getting Scoobal, which they were and ended up not. Uh, yeah, they, they, listen, they like, you, you mentioned the bullpen. The bullpen pitched 118 innings, like that, that's, or sorry, the, the, the team pitched 118 innings, the bullpen pitched 65 of them. 55% of their innings were bullpen. Ashby didn't give up a run. He pitched 18 innings. He didn't give up a run. And like, you know, Miz, who was kind of up and down in the playoffs, like he not, not, he wasn't bad, but he didn't go deep. He showed up for game five and he went scoreless. Like he was, he was, he was dominant.

• 6:54Speaker 00

  I mean, yeah, did they need to like, uh, pamper the mound after every half inning? Yes, but no, I mean, like I can't, like I said, I, I don't like the Brewers. They, they just, they are the hammer, the cubs of the nail, but I gave up a while ago because they were just that good. And I, and, and honestly, in earnest, congratulations to their fans because they had never won a World Series. They had been close, you know, they had these, some, some tragic moments happen. You know, I think about like the CC Sabathia year when they went all in. Um, the, the, what was the, what was the polar bear's homerun? That was, uh, what year was that memes? Pete Alonso. Two years ago. Yeah, like those type of things, getting swept by the Dodgers last year, and they

• 7:36Speaker 00

  just came back with a vengeance and they were just ready to go. And, uh, they were an insane team and Sal Frelick is like, just one of those guys that you just are drawn to, to, you know, like rooting for. I like Contreras was just insane. I think he had 400 in the playoffs. He won the MVP. He was nuts. Uh, the whole team was just, they were just so good. And then we find out afterwards, they were also cool because they were smoking cigs before each game. The, the story comes out that Yelich would just, he was like, yeah, we'd just be walking by the, the batting cages. Guys would be smoking cigs and be like, hey, if we're gonna get hot here, like we're gonna torch one here, we're gonna get hot in the, in the game. So they had it all. They had it absolutely all.

• 8:18Speaker 00

  And they were, like I said, like the, the most relentless dominant team. They were never, weirdly, the Padres were probably the closest. The Padres were the closest to beating them. And like, that was a three, one series and it was just that, but that was the only kind of stress it felt like that they were ever really in this entire postseason.

• 8:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, so, uh, Contreras also, I believe, uh, one of the stats that they pulled up when they were saying why he was getting the, uh, the MVP was he had an impeccable World Series when it came to the ABS system.

• 8:51Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 8:51Speaker 02

  The challenges. He, he was dominating, uh, the ABS in the World Series. I doubt we'll ever see a performance like that again.

• 8:58Speaker 00

  Yeah, he was, he was incredible. Uh, yeah, Vogelbach, their, their, their hitting coach.

• 9:05Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 9:05Speaker 00

  Who was very funny when he was a player. It felt like, we talked about it on Wednesday show, but the nine V one thing where it's like, they just attacked. They attacked, attacked, attacked. And it was like, it's one of those things that you, when you're watching them play throughout the postseason, you're like, oh my God, they keep getting lucky breaks. They, the other team keeps making errors. No, no, that's not lucky breaks. That's them putting constant pressure on the other team, forcing them to overthink situations, to make base running errors, to, to, to, you know, send a guy home, try to steal third, to, to bobble a ball. That's all, that's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like, you have

• 9:49Speaker 00

  to be perfect and, and almost made teams like just become of worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

• 9:58Speaker 02

  Yeah, they forced the most, the most errors in baseball. I think they're also the shortest team in baseball.

• 10:03Speaker 00

  Oh, short kings.

• 10:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, short kings back up. Everybody's like five foot nine on that, in that lineup, except for Christian Yelich, who's like six, three. But, um, taking advantage of the, finally they're measuring people's accurate strike zones now. So a short guy gets a little bit of a, uh, a little bit of a break when it comes to measuring that. And then, uh, they, they're just deep, like Pratt came up big.

• 10:24Speaker 00

  Yeah, rookie.

• 10:25Speaker 02

  He's super young and they got, yeah, everybody was contributing to it. And I just think that this is like, as somebody that doesn't have a dog in this fight, I'm not a Brewers fan. I'm, I'm not a Rays fan, uh, but the Brewers like. That's how you should play baseball.

• 10:42Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 10:42Speaker 02

  That is the perfect way to play baseball. I love watching them. Um, so congrats to them. Congrats to the city of Milwaukee and uh, I think they're going to go on a, a, a nice little tour of the entire state, maybe the entire Midwest. They're off to a hot start by showing up on Thursday night football.

• 10:57Speaker 00

  That was a no brainer.

• 10:57Speaker 02

  Shithouse.

• 10:58Speaker 00

  Yeah, that was a no brainer. I said it on the stream. I was like, are the Brewers there? Have they shown them yet? And I think Steven was like, why would they be there? I'm like, dude, why wouldn't they? Like you win the World Series, you go to everything. You just go and get applauded everywhere. Uh, yeah, they, they, uh, they, I, I actually think the parade though is too soon. I know it's a Friday parade. It's probably sick, but it's like, you probably want a couple of days to just keep partying and then do the parade. But Friday parade is awesome. Halloween weekend, Friday parade.

• 11:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 11:26Speaker 00

  They probably didn't do, they probably did it because Halloween on Saturday, like, be like, we, we want to celebrate the Brewers, but we also have kids that need to go trick or treating. The uh, the, the, are we, are we officially, so this is the end of the 2026 championships, right? Like we're going to get the next one. We're gonna, I guess the dream in Valkyrie, we gotta wait for that in MLS. We'll, we'll talk to Robert Lewandowski. But can we officially say that 2026 was the, was the craziest year in giving out championships? Because here's what we had. We had USA, Team USA win their first men's gold medal in 46 years. Uh, Arsenal, who just lost to Fleetwood Town, which was hilarious, uh, won their first EPL title in 22 years.

• 12:10Speaker 02

  Tried me hardest.

• 12:11Speaker 00

  The, the Carolina Hurricanes won their first NHL title in 20 years. Not that big of a, a, a gap. The Brewers won their first title ever. The Knicks won their first title in 53 years. Michigan basketball won their first title in 37 years. Indiana football won the national title. And then to, to put a cherry on, on top, Sam Darnold won a Super Bowl in his elite. That's pretty nuts.

• 12:40Speaker 02

  And the Philadelphia Water Dogs became the first multi P L L championship winners.

• 12:45Speaker 00

  I don't know if that's true either, but it sounds.

• 12:47Speaker 02

  Sounds good.

• 12:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, it sounds really good. I feel like, I feel like the Archers are some, some, some, the Redwoods probably fucking won four. Yeah.

• 12:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 12:56Speaker 00

  But it was a crazy year.

• 12:57Speaker 02

  It, it's been a crazy year. It's awesome. I, I, I love, I love how chaotic it's been. Um, for all the talk of, you know, it's, uh, you, only a handful of teams have a chance to win at the start of the year. It's fun to mix it up, to get some new blood in there. I looked up what we were talking about the other night, Big Cat, uh, that the Brewers, they, they swing at 27.3% of first pitches. So that's the second lowest rate in all of baseball.

• 13:21Speaker 00

  That's what they do.

• 13:21Speaker 02

  But when they swing, they hit 377 on swings when they do take a crack at the first pitch, and that is the best in baseball.

• 13:30Speaker 00

  Yeah. And they, they let the ball come in deep in the zone. They hit it opposite field. Yeah. It's just big hits after big hits. We will, by the way, I, there was a lot of people, I, I, I appreciate the AWLs being like, you have to have Yelich on the podcast today. I, I'm going to let him, uh, be drunk for a little bit. We will absolutely try to get Christian Yelich on the podcast next week at some point. When, uh, he checks his phone and, and wakes up because we do want to, he has been one of our friends and, and, uh, like, good part of, actually a great part of the history of this show. And so we want to give him his flowers. I am very happy for him. He's, you know, he, he's been there for the longest.

• 14:10Speaker 00

  He, you know, basically they went through a rebuild with him there, with him, the centerpiece. He became the first captain in Brewers history. And then he delivers them, you know, he's, he's getting a little older in his career. He delivers them a World Series and up until Hank mentioned that he hadn't hit any RBIs, he, he then just went and got hot.

• 14:28Speaker 02

  You're welcome.

• 14:29Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, Zach, last thing about the World Series.

• 14:33Speaker 02

  Uh, I feel like we said all of this year and even late last year, Brewers never lose.

• 14:37Speaker 00

  Oh no, I was going to ask a question, but I appreciate you just going with the statement there.

• 14:41Speaker 02

  My fault.

• 14:42Speaker 00

  Now, you aren't a baseball fan.

• 14:45Speaker 02

  Uh, fair, super fair. There's definitely guys who watch more baseball than me.

• 14:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, you don't watch any baseball. So you're not a Rays fan. They're pretending to be a Rays fan. You're just, you're just, you're just a, a, a guy who grew up around that area.

• 14:58Speaker 02

  That is true.

• 14:59Speaker 00

  Around racists. You grew up amongst racists.

• 15:01Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 15:01Speaker 00

  Amongst a plethora of racist. Do you have anything to say for the fact that it was like 90% Brewers fans on Wednesday night in the trop?

• 15:12Speaker 02

  I for East, man.

• 15:13Speaker 00

  Okay, but so I for East doesn't exist for Brewers fans.

• 15:18Speaker 02

  Uh, it might be a little different if you're taking Ubers from the airports, you know?

• 15:21Speaker 00

  Oh, so they fly, are they landing somewhere? Are they landing on the other side of I for East?

• 15:25Speaker 02

  Point. Also, no, maybe there's a shuttle. They're from the airport. Airport travel is different than domestic travel usually. Uh, or you just tape your captain Brewers and say they travel well.

• 15:35Speaker 00

  Yeah, first of all.

• 15:36Speaker 02

  Fair.

• 15:36Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 15:36Speaker 03

  Zach, you fill out that seat nicely. You look good.

• 15:40Speaker 02

  Um, second of all, you're absolutely right. It's the caravan situation. They got Sprinter vans. They got the airport shuttles. So they don't have to worry about traffic. That's why they were there.

• 15:49Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 15:49Speaker 02

  A lot of families do have sedans as like a four to five seater. If we're doing shuttles, who knows how many seats. Nah, they were doing the trophy ceremony though. It, it was kind of crazy because

• 15:58Speaker 00

  It was nuts.

• 15:59Speaker 02

  Close your eyes, you thought that it was in Milwaukee.

• 16:02Speaker 00

  Yeah, big time. Max, any last thoughts on the baseball season? You are a baseball guy. By the way, I had Max, it was awesome. Uh, yesterday, I, I brought my seven year old to, to do some practice. And Max gave him some hitting lessons. It was fucking sick. He's a lefty, Max a lefty.

• 16:18Speaker 03

  Try my best.

• 16:19Speaker 00

  It was very fun. Yeah. No, Max is a good guy.

• 16:21Speaker 03

  I've never been given a hitting lesson before, so it was, it was an adjustment. Uh, the Brewers are the best team in baseball. They're the best team in baseball here. There's nothing really more to say. And I've said everything about the Brewers. They didn't change anything. The last few games, they just continued to play Brewer ball. Except for when Bowers dropped that one ball, but other than that they're, they're the best team in baseball, best team in baseball deserved to win.

• 16:44Speaker 00

  Yeah, I was really, so I, I, I wanted more baseball. I wanted to watch more World Series, but also did you guys see Ken Rosenthal's question?

• 16:54Speaker 03

  Insane.

• 16:55Speaker 00

  Insane. Did you see a PFT?

• 16:56Speaker 02

  Mm hmm. Yep.

• 16:57Speaker 00

  Who do you ask? Two Walls?

• 16:59Speaker 03

  Uh, I think DeLuca.

• 17:01Speaker 00

  Okay, so he asked a Rays player, uh, did, after the game four win, is it good to win this one so you could feel like you belong?

• 17:13Speaker 03

  And he just responded, that's a very disrespectful question. No, it was Walls. It was Walls.

• 17:19Speaker 00

  It was Walls. Crazy, crazy question. So I was like, this would be such a funny Ken Rosenthal story arc if the Rays went on to win. Like dude, what do you ask? You're asking a professional who's in the World Series, a team that won the AL?

• 17:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's the, that's the worst part. Like that question would kind of make sense if it was like a wild card team that snuck their way in.

• 17:41Speaker 00

  Yeah, like an 82 win wild card team.

• 17:43Speaker 03

  They were the best team in the AL in the regular season and in the playoffs. How can you ask if you think that they belong?

• 17:51Speaker 00

  I don't want to get aggregated again with an entire week of me bashing Ken Rosenthal.

• 17:55Speaker 03

  That was a

• 17:58Speaker 00

  Journalist coming to his defense. Yeah.

• 18:00Speaker 02

  And, and the fact that he's sitting there like lurking in the background with his little shitty bow tie.

• 18:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 18:06Speaker 02

  And that like smirk on his face, like a, like a puppet version of Pee Wee Herman, asking him, hey, like, he's like looking down. He's like, oh, you poor little thing. Give me a fucking brick, Ken.

• 18:17Speaker 00

  Yeah. Also shout out to, I played it for the boys, PFT, I'll send it to you after, but there was, uh, the, the, the post game news, uh, local news is always so funny. There was this woman who, uh,

• 18:28Speaker 02

  I saw her.

• 18:29Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, she was

• 18:31Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:31Speaker 00

  So people who didn't see.

• 18:32Speaker 02

  Right now.

• 18:33Speaker 00

  Yeah. So she would, she pulled up a picture. They, they, uh, the, the reporter came out and she pulled up a picture of her and her dad when she was like three years old and she's like, I'm just thinking about my dad right now. This is us at the Brewer, like a Brewers game 20 years ago. And the reporter was like, so you know, oh, like that's very nice. Where's your dad? And she's like, oh, he's in Waukesha. I just couldn't make it home tonight. 20 minutes away.

• 18:55Speaker 02

  Yeah. Uh, uh, sneaky funny part about that was she just tossed in that her dad's single.

• 19:00Speaker 00

  Yeah, my single dad.

• 19:02Speaker 02

  So ladies, if, if you're, uh, if you're interested.

• 19:05Speaker 00

  She was just like, yeah, I wish I was with him tonight. Couldn't make it home in time. 20 minutes.

• 19:10Speaker 02

  Yeah. What do you think about Pat Murphy? Uh, when he, who was he talking to? Which player was it? Um, the guy that was on the Yankees?

• 19:17Speaker 00

  Uh, he was talking to

• 19:20Speaker 02

  Bowers.

• 19:20Speaker 00

  Bowers.

• 19:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah. And he was, he, I think the quote was, you're going to be a rich fucker. Just remember when you were on that horseshit Yankees team and you guys were all playing for yourself. Just remember, say this is the way we used to do it.

• 19:32Speaker 00

  Yeah. So Bowers is about to get paid. Uh, yeah, I, I don't like Pat Murphy, but he, I'll say this. That is who Pat Murphy is and he doesn't change. Like that is, you know, the whole underdog, like where the, you know? So that's basically what his message is and he, it works. He's an incredible manager. Like it's clear that his message works. And you know, he, obviously the, the dynamic of the fact that the Cubs stole Craig Council and then Pat Murphy took over and took him to a World Series. I will push back a little on that. There's only, I think there were only six guys on the, on the last, uh, postseason roster that Craig Council managed for the Brewers. So it's a different team. There's a lot of new players on this World Series team.

• 20:16Speaker 00

  But Pat Murphy's an awesome manager. He knows how to motivate these guys. And I think that was just him not breaking character. Like he didn't break, he basically was like, yeah, go get paid. Like you, you know, this is what a real team is.

• 20:28Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think that's one of those things that would be, uh, like completely appropriate and, and very, very normal. If there wasn't a camera and a microphone on him.

• 20:36Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 20:37Speaker 02

  But the fact that we heard it, then it becomes like a, a spectacle in of, of itself. And it was kind of weird to hear that, but

• 20:44Speaker 00

  Well, so

• 20:45Speaker 02

  I think I, I, he's obviously a great manager. The guys love him.

• 20:48Speaker 00

  Yeah. So he, he, like, I saw some people bashing Pat Murphy for that. And I, like, as much as I would love to pile on Pat Murphy, I think that that interaction is exactly why the Brewers were where they are. Because of his motivating tactics. He is a little bit of a hard ass, but his guys will die for him. And like, that was his message and he can't break the message. So I, I had no problem with it. It's like, you can't, you can't be like, oh, how could he say that? No, he could say that because that's how they're there. That's how they're celebrating the World Series. Pat Murphy's an incredible motivator and manager, pulled all the right strings. The entire postseason. That's the type of guy he is. He's fucking, he's awesome at his job. Yeah. Uh, all right.

• 21:30Speaker 00

  That was World Series Thursday night football. Real quick, we're going to get to Jeffrey Simmons when PFT is back in studio and then the week preview because I'm obviously very excited about Jeffrey Simmons Thursday night football. Can we please ban NFC South teams from playing on primetime games?

• 21:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, a motion to include the NFC East as well.

• 21:50Speaker 00

  Yeah, motion, motion approved. I, uh, I, I, listen, I

• 21:55Speaker 02

  I disagree though. I disagree. I think the Falcons in primetime are fun.

• 21:58Speaker 00

  Yeah, the Falcons, the Falcons are fun. The, the, the Packers are, uh, they're, they're good. Like I, they're going to get Micah Parsons back. They're good. It like you, the only thing that Bryce Young, I don't know what the Packers are doing. I think it's actually honestly credit to Jonathan Gannon as defensive coordinator, because this is now two games that we've watched in primetime where the team playing the Packers feel like they have zero ability to pick up a blitz. So that's clearly a defensive coordinator, what they're doing. Like Bryce Young just was never comfortable. And I'm talking obviously about the Cowboys game where Dak was just, it felt like there was just blitzes every time and they just never knew where they were coming from. And he was always had a rusher in his lap. That's what Bryce Young was dealing with tonight.

• 22:43Speaker 02

  And sometimes it wasn't even on a blitz. Sometimes it was, there was a couple of times they rushed three, they rushed four and they were just getting to him. And when, when they were getting to him, all you have to do is just like grab his shoulder and Bryce Young's gonna, he's gonna fall down. Um, so he was uncomfortable for most of the night and Bryce Young, he's, he's definitely improved. He's definitely way, way, way beyond what we thought he was going to be in his first two seasons. But still, when he, when he does have games like the first couple of quarters, first three quarters, uh, he's a big bummer to watch.

• 23:10Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 23:10Speaker 02

  He's not playing well.

• 23:12Speaker 00

  Well, because he looks tiny. He looks tiny. When he, when a pass rush is getting home to Bryce Young, he like, he's like six inches shorter.

• 23:19Speaker 02

  That's a fact. Yeah. Medically.

• 23:21Speaker 00

  It is.

• 23:22Speaker 02

  And then in terms of the, uh, the Packers, yeah, they're going to get better and Golden is just, he'd probably be up there close to JSN numbers. If he could catch like 75% of the passes thrown his way.

• 23:33Speaker 00

  We also should mention Christian Watson with, he literally just went attitude error like WWE Monday Night Raw. The, the, the fact, and, and look, I, it's out, it seemed like he had a chest injury. So it's like, gotta go get it checked out. I don't think I've ever seen that though, where it's like a guy goes to the hospital, then comes back, gets out of the ambulance. I, I joked at the time, I was like, I half expected Vince McMahon to be driving that ambulance or the ambulance to blow up. He comes out of the ambulance, comes out of the tunnel, gets back in the game.

• 24:03Speaker 02

  It looked like a prop ambulance. You're right. And the lighting in, in the tunnel, it did look like Monday Night Raw. Yeah. So he, he goes down the tunnel. I think, did he still have the bracelet on? I was hoping he would keep the hospital bracelet. Cause that would fuck the rock.

• 24:15Speaker 00

  You know what?

• 24:16Speaker 02

  So he goes, yeah. Not only that, but like the ride back to the stadium, he was riding shotgun in the ambulance.

• 24:22Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 24:23Speaker 02

  And so he gets out, shoulder pads on, by the way.

• 24:26Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 24:27Speaker 02

  He just popped in for an X-ray, put him back on, came back to the stadium, uh, hops out of the ambulance, runs onto the field. Uh, that was awesome. And that was great.

• 24:36Speaker 00

  Steven Che aptly pointed out in the gambling cave, there's no way he could have done the paperwork that fast, which I agree with. Like the

• 24:42Speaker 02

  You think that maybe this was, uh, like pro bono at the hospital?

• 24:46Speaker 00

  I don't know, but that paperwork sucks. And like, do you think, do you, do you think in his sock, like Joe Horn, or Joe Horn had it under the field goal post, but do you think, or maybe it was Ocho Cinco had a Sharpie? Do you think he had his, uh, his, his insurance card in his sock?

• 25:01Speaker 02

  T O, T O, yeah.

• 25:03Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, Max, I want, I want to let Max rant real quick because Max had a very good point about the end of the game. Max, would you like to, I don't want to steal your point because it was

• 25:12Speaker 03

  What about the Panthers?

• 25:13Speaker 00

  About both teams.

• 25:15Speaker 03

  The, the way that game ended, it acted like the Panthers were winning the game and the Packers were losing the game.

• 25:22Speaker 00

  Correct.

• 25:22Speaker 03

  That the Panthers were down two scores with, I think, eight minutes to go and wouldn't stop running the ball to Chuba Hubbard for three yards up the middle. And then like taking their good ass time to, to get the next playoff.

• 25:36Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 25:36Speaker 03

  They were, they had zero sense of urgency. And then when I thought it was all done and over, LaFleur just throws three hail Marys when he gets the ball back, loses 15 yards and stops the clock on every play.

• 25:51Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 25:51Speaker 03

  It made no sense.

• 25:53Speaker 00

  It was crazy.

• 25:54Speaker 03

  What happened at the end of that?

• 25:55Speaker 00

  They almost blew it. Like the Packers almost blew that game.

• 25:57Speaker 03

  They tried to blow that game.

• 25:58Speaker 00

  Yeah. It was crazy.

• 26:00Speaker 03

  And then he wouldn't kick the, try and kick the field goal for the over, which pissed me off.

• 26:03Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 26:04Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 26:04Speaker 00

  Which probably right move.

• 26:06Speaker 03

  I mean, they got 20 yards of field position.

• 26:08Speaker 00

  I know, but just smack is so bad.

• 26:10Speaker 02

  Josh Jacobs are just like, we're going to keep running him and he's going to continue to suck, but we're going to keep doing it. And eventually you'll, you'll just wear down. He was, uh, I was not impressed with Josh Jacobs tonight.

• 26:20Speaker 00

  Well, also can we just say, absolute piece of shit to, to, to do the handcuff celebration for his arrest for domestic violence as a TD celebration. You're a piece of shit, dude.

• 26:32Speaker 03

  What the fuck?

• 26:33Speaker 00

  Like, that's crazy.

• 26:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 26:35Speaker 00

  Crazy.

• 26:36Speaker 02

  Bad guy. You didn't want to see the ones that, that Ray Carruth had planned, but that was, this one was bad.

• 26:40Speaker 00

  Bad guy.

• 26:41Speaker 02

  He kind of made himself and he's going to try to play like I'm the victim card.

• 26:46Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's exactly what he's doing. I mean, he didn't show remorse when he was, when he came back and he was just like, remember I read the quote where he was like, six games feels like it was a lot. It's like, yeah, dude, how about just say sorry and be like, I'm thankful that I actually can, this league, if you're good, it doesn't matter how bad of a person you are.

• 27:06Speaker 02

  I do think they have to do something, um, about the other guy that's known as smack on that team. Uh, the, the kicker is not that he's going to be a problem. He is going to cost them a playoff game unless they make a change.

• 27:18Speaker 00

  Mm hmm. Yeah. No, he's really bad. He's really, really bad. Uh, all right. Anything else?

• 27:25Speaker 02

  Yeah. Um, Billy Napier is fucking insane.

• 27:28Speaker 00

  Yeah, JMU should stop playing.

• 27:30Speaker 02

  Insane person.

• 27:30Speaker 00

  Stop playing Thursday night football. You lost again.

• 27:32Speaker 02

  The, the poop curse is upon us, but also like, more importantly, I would like to apologize, hand up to any Florida Gators out there because I did not understand how bad you guys have had it the last four years.

• 27:47Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 27:48Speaker 02

  Because he is, he, like the way that he coaches, he gaslights everybody. He is like, he's coaching and he's making us think that we're all insane because he's so confidently doing the wrong things. And it makes no sense, any of it. It's an out of body experience. He should be arrested.

• 28:06Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 28:07Speaker 02

  I don't know. I, I've never seen a coach coach like that. And then I, I hit up Jacob and I was like, hey, is this like par for the course? And Jacob's like, yeah, that's pretty much it. JMU had three touchdowns on their first three drives. They went up 21 to nothing and then did jack shit for the rest of the game.

• 28:23Speaker 00

  Yeah, it was crazy.

• 28:24Speaker 02

  Every other drive was three and out to nowhere. It was, it was terrible football. And then the decision-making at the end of the game, I, I need to go back and re-watch it. Um, but it is

• 28:34Speaker 00

  Well, Hank, you were watching it intently.

• 28:36Speaker 02

  I'm blown away.

• 28:37Speaker 00

  It was crazy.

• 28:39Speaker 04

  Yeah, Jamie just couldn't, they were just throwing interceptions left and right.

• 28:42Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 28:42Speaker 04

  I wasn't, I was watching it like a little bit. And every time I looked over, Jamie would throw another interception and then I live bet Troy. And then I couldn't, I couldn't believe that they threw a hail Mary. And then they almost got it too. That was a crazy part.

• 28:53Speaker 00

  They almost caught the whole hail Mary.

• 28:55Speaker 02

  Yeah. No, but Hank, the, the interceptions were not great, but that's not nearly the problem. The problem is Billy Napier is actually a fucking psychopath.

• 29:03Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, okay. We're gonna take a break and then kick it to ourselves in studio. Jeffrey Simmons live reaction because we taped earlier in the morning. So it was right after it happened.

The greatest candy ever created. It's Reese's weekend. Reese's is the official candy partner of Barstool Sports. Go get Reese's wherever you shop. Okay, boys. Week eight in the NFL. Before we do the games, should we talk about Jeffrey Simmons to the Bears? That just happened.

• 32:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 32:03Speaker 00

  Jeffrey Simmons to the Bears. The Bears trade, uh, their first round pick this year and next year. All in by Ryan Poles. I love the move. I know that, uh, I'm, I'm dealing with the allegations of fleeced online and I get it. You're, I'm going to defend the Bears move, but I truly believe what I'm about to say. Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker, top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength. And here's where I really come down with the two first round picks. You were going to have to draft defensive line in the next two drafts, at least this draft, but most likely the next

• 32:47Speaker 00

  two drafts, because we all knew it was a weakness. It's been a weakness for a long time. The whole plan and the build of Ryan Poles was they built up the offense with a lot of really young, good talent. They built up the offensive line. Caleb's on his rookie deal. This next draft was going to be the defensive draft. It's why I always said it was the year before the year. You were hoping to get a player half as good as Jeffrey Simmons in the first round next year.

• 33:10Speaker 02

  He's elite.

• 33:11Speaker 00

  So that's why, like I, you were going, like you can't draft guys like Jeffrey Simmons. They're so fucking good and you're, the draft is a crap shoot. So I know it's too expensive. I do not care. I love what the Bears are doing all in. And you have them for the next, I think he just signed a new deal and he's the type of position that he's not going to be bad all of a sudden.

• 33:32Speaker 02

  So he's 29 years old. The, the deal I think was three years, a hundred mil, something like that. Uh, so you will be paying him a lot and you gave up a lot to get him, but when he's at his best, he's, he's a dominant force and he would be worth it. He is the kind of player that if you're going to be playing well into December and to, or into through January into February, you'd like to have a big guy that is more than capable of stopping the run. That's exactly what he does.

• 33:55Speaker 00

  He makes everyone else good. The, the defensive line is not a really good unit. He now makes it a good unit because everyone else now gets single teams.

• 34:02Speaker 02

  We were talking about it because like it's, it's been crazy. Uh, when the commanders traded Chase Young and Montez Sweat, I was saying that Montez Sweat's a better player than Chase Young at the time. Um, and now Montez Sweat is kind of taking a step back on the Bears, but we think that he is actually a really good player. If you're, if he's not asked to be the best player on the defensive line. So I think that will make the rest of the, of the defense better for sure.

• 34:24Speaker 00

  I just love also like, watching a team with a sick defensive tackle is such a different watch. Like I think about one of my, one of my favorite Bears, Akeem Hicks, like when you watched him play football and every, like the, the guy who just basically takes up the entire middle of the, the offensive line and just absorbs it and your linebackers are, are firing and everything. It's just a fun watch when you have a guy like that.

• 34:51Speaker 02

  I, can I, can I poke a small hole in this? Can I play devil's advocate?

• 34:55Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 34:55Speaker 02

  All right. So Jeffrey Simmons, great player, great talent. Uh, you see him on all the up and coming lists, all the top lists of, of guys that do his job. He is a Mississippi State guy.

• 35:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 35:05Speaker 02

  Do you think that if he moves to Chicago as a Mississippi State guy, he'll start to make everything about himself?

• 35:11Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 35:11Speaker 02

  And won't actually raise the floor of his teammates around him. Might even not, might not even learn the guy's name.

• 35:17Speaker 00

  Yeah. The Akeem, he'll do the Jeffrey Simmons show.

• 35:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 35:20Speaker 00

  Yeah. I, I could see it happen.

• 35:22Speaker 02

  That is a possible. I just wanted to say, I think it's a good, it's a good move as a, as a future ticket holder in the Chicago Bears. I like this. And I think it's a good deal for the Titans too.

• 35:30Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. No, the Titans have to rebuild and they've, they've been kind of in a rebuild. So yeah, it's an absolutely good deal for the Titans. I, I, listen, I get it. Uh, there could be no good deals online ever. We joke about it all the time. So I, I just, I, I personally, I'm okay with paying a, a very expensive price for a very good player.

• 35:52Speaker 02

  This is going to be a trade that will be impossible to accurately evaluate until I'm going to say three years from now. And if the Bears have won a Superbowl,

• 36:00Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 36:00Speaker 02

  then it was worth it. And I would say if, if you haven't won a Superbowl, then fleece.

• 36:05Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 36:07Speaker 02

  If you give up two first round picks, that's kind of the, that's the expectation. That's, that's the bar for success.

• 36:11Speaker 00

  Yeah, absolutely.

• 36:12Speaker 02

  And I do think that it puts you in that conversation.

• 36:14Speaker 00

  And you, and you, you got like, you go all in when you have your quarterback on the rookie deal.

• 36:19Speaker 02

  All in my ass.

• 36:20Speaker 00

  You do. You have to go on. I love, I love the deal. I love Jeffrey Simmons. It's going to be fun to watch. Uh, so I'm excited. I, I thought they could win the Superbowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do. So, uh, okay. Should we get into week eight in the NFL?

• 36:35Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:36Speaker 00

  We have some bye weeks. Saints, Giants, 49ers, Texans are on a bye this week.

• 36:41Speaker 02

  Matthew Judon can spend more time with his families.

• 36:43Speaker 00

  Yes. Yes. That's facts.

• 36:44Speaker 02

  Important time of year for that.

• 36:45Speaker 00

  Um, the, I, I, I always look at the bye weeks just as like, how is this going to dictate the, like the slate? Not having the 49ers play football is definitely going to hurt us a little.

• 36:58Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:58Speaker 00

  Like we didn't have the Bills last week.

• 37:00Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 37:00Speaker 00

  And it was like, oh, I noticed an absence of the Bills.

• 37:02Speaker 02

  But it was great. It was great. Not having the commanders of the Chargers.

• 37:06Speaker 00

  Yes, true. And it will be great not having to watch. I actually don't really want to watch the Texans and the Saints have been a bummer.

• 37:12Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 37:12Speaker 00

  Saints have been a bummer. Okay. So speaking of the Bills, first game up Ravens, Bills, Bills minus three and a half, over under is 53 and a half. Let me actually pull up because the line has might, might've changed. I think Lamar is going to play.

• 37:25Speaker 02

  I think so. Yeah.

• 37:26Speaker 00

  I think Lamar is going to play. I'm excited to watch this game. This game is getting sound. I would agree. You guys all agree?

• 37:33Speaker 02

  Yeah. This is the crown jewel.

• 37:35Speaker 00

  This is the game. Feels like, uh, the Ravens are kind of in, oh, it's actually three, minus three now because of Lamar news, over under 40, 54 and a half. Feels like the Ravens are in a put up or shut up kind of game. Cause if they fall to four and four in the, in a very tough AFC, they lose to the Bills. What, where, what's happening now? You know, like someone, someone in the AFC North, no matter what, after this weekend is going to be six and two, because the Browns and the Steelers play each other.

• 38:05Speaker 02

  Right?

• 38:05Speaker 00

  So if they're four and four, and it's like, what the fuck? They've already lost to the Browns. They've already lost to the Bengals. They got, this is kind of a back against the wall game.

• 38:14Speaker 02

  It is. So the Bills defense has not been great. They've given up 30 points in four games this season and they're four and O in those games, which is kind of crazy. Because if you look across the rest of the league, if your team gives up 30 points or more, the rest of the league is eight and 47.

• 38:30Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 38:30Speaker 02

  And the Bills are, are four and O. That is a, a Josh Allen stat.

• 38:33Speaker 00

  I, I, I think Ed Oliver is coming back this week.

• 38:35Speaker 02

  That'd be huge.

• 38:36Speaker 00

  So that would help.

• 38:37Speaker 02

  That'd be very big. Buffalo has also recently kind of owned this rivalry.

• 38:41Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 38:41Speaker 02

  They've won four out of five against Baltimore.

• 38:43Speaker 00

  Remember the game last year, week one game that was crazy? The, the big comeback?

• 38:47Speaker 02

  I, I think what we're seeing, I, I don't want to completely write the Ravens off, but my thought has been that what we're seeing from the Ravens has been, you know, historically, they're, the fourth quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense, I don't know, maybe, maybe mentor can turn things around, but the defense does not look good.

• 39:17Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 39:18Speaker 02

  And they're getting old. It's like Marlon Humphrey. I thought that Marlon Humphrey retired like three years ago.

• 39:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 39:23Speaker 02

  But that's just because he was doing like a whole lot of podcasts.

• 39:26Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 39:26Speaker 02

  And anytime you get a, a starter doing a lot of podcasting, you think to yourself like this guy's, he's, he's pre-retired right now, but he's still playing and he has not been good this year.

• 39:36Speaker 00

  No, he's not. I, uh, your point about the Rams that you made two weeks ago, like, hey, you can't really fuck around much more. That's how I feel about the Ravens.

• 39:43Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 39:44Speaker 00

  Where it's like, I don't think the Ravens are a bad team. They just have not given themselves much leeway to fuck around anymore because the AFC is going to be very tight. The AFC North specifically has a lot of teams that, you know, all three, all four teams are above 500 and you have the Bills this week and the Jaguars next week. And yeah, maybe you have some games coming after that, but those are two massive games that you can't fuck around with.

• 40:09Speaker 02

  And the one thing I will say though, in the Ravens favor is Lamar, yes, he misses some games. He, he's very confusing sometimes with his health, with his injury status. But when he decides that it's time for him to come back, when he feels a hundred percent, he usually knows his body pretty well. And when he gets back, he reminds the world, oh yeah, this is why Lamar Jackson's so good.

• 40:27Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, DJ Moore should be back. Uh, so that will be a, a boost to the Bills offense, which has been phenomenal. They're just a fun watch. They just score points and give up points. What more could you ask for?

• 40:38Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 40:39Speaker 00

  It's like, really, they're, they're, they're the perfect team to, to, to bet on, to watch. Like, hey, we're not going to get any stops and we're gonna, every time we have the ball, we're going to go down the field.

• 40:49Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 40:50Speaker 00

  Uh, okay. Any, Hank, I don't want to bring up hungry dog because you, you've had a tough hungry dog, but is the Ravens?

• 40:57Speaker 04

  It's been a good, been a good year.

• 40:58Speaker 00

  No, you haven't won.

• 40:59Speaker 04

  We've been close.

• 41:00Speaker 00

  Yeah. Close doesn't count.

• 41:02Speaker 02

  All it takes is one weekend though.

• 41:03Speaker 04

  It's true.

• 41:04Speaker 02

  That's the beauty of the hungry dog.

• 41:06Speaker 04

  I do like the Ravens this week.

• 41:07Speaker 02

  You do?

• 41:07Speaker 04

  There's not a lot, there's not a lot, uh, there's not a lot of picks. I have one, another gross one, but.

• 41:11Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 41:12Speaker 04

  I do like the Ravens.

• 41:13Speaker 00

  Excited for the gross one.

• 41:14Speaker 02

  What's the spread here?

• 41:15Speaker 00

  The spread is three.

• 41:16Speaker 02

  Three. Okay.

• 41:17Speaker 00

  Three. Yeah. It's three now. It went down from three and a half to three. Okay. You have a gross one.

• 41:24Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 41:25Speaker 00

  All right. Other, the other big, big game. Um, well, I guess there, there's actually a few big games here, but, uh, one of the other big games in the early window, Vikings at Lions, Lions minus three, over under is 46 and a half. This is a fun game because it's a, what are these teams type of game?

• 41:45Speaker 02

  I like, I like the Lions in this game a lot.

• 41:48Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 41:48Speaker 02

  I do.

• 41:49Speaker 00

  Can I, can I, I did as well. And then I had a memory, which I don't know if you guys even have like thought about, because it does feel like, what was even that?

• 42:02Speaker 02

  I know what you're talking about. Yeah.

• 42:03Speaker 00

  The Christmas day game last year.

• 42:05Speaker 02

  It was, it was a bloodbath.

• 42:06Speaker 00

  The Lions were the team that everyone was like, don't let them get in. They're like, hi, if they can win. And the Vikings were playing for nothing and Brian Flores buttfucked them.

• 42:17Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 42:18Speaker 00

  And I am, and you know why I'm also thinking about it? Cause I think, I want to say the Vikings were wearing the weird helmets.

• 42:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 42:24Speaker 00

  Right? Weren't they wearing like all whites or something?

• 42:27Speaker 02

  It was something weird on Christmas day. I remember that.

• 42:29Speaker 00

  Was it Max Brosmer?

• 42:30Speaker 02

  Um, no.

• 42:33Speaker 02

  Was it?

• 42:34Speaker 00

  I don't know. It might have been.

• 42:35Speaker 02

  Actually, I just remember, I remember it as being the, the Van Ginkle game.

• 42:40Speaker 00

  Yeah, I think it might have been Max. Was it Max?

• 42:42Speaker 06

  Yeah, it was Brosmer.

• 42:43Speaker 00

  It was, yes.

• 42:44Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 42:44Speaker 00

  Cause we were like, Max Brosmer against the Lions. There's no way the Lions can win. And then Brian Flores took his dick out and just slapped him around. So that's what's in my head, PFT. That's what has me scared.

• 42:55Speaker 02

  Brian Flores is, he's just on a completely different level. Every game, we say that he's like done, he's doing things that no coordinator's done before. And then every week he finds a way to, to one up it. Last week they blitzed 85% of the time, which is, which is crazy. But the thing is, the Lions are very good against the blitz.

• 43:12Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 43:13Speaker 02

  That's the only thing. So.

• 43:14Speaker 00

  Okay, but, all right.

• 43:16Speaker 02

  I was gonna say, against the, I, I got a couple of numbers.

• 43:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 43:19Speaker 02

  Against the blitz, the Lions are, uh, eighth in terms of lowest sack percentage. They're fifth in terms of lowest pressure rate allowed. They're seventh in terms of yards per attempt. Granted, they have not been getting blitzed by the Minnesota Vikings.

• 43:32Speaker 00

  That's what I was gonna say.

• 43:33Speaker 02

  They've been getting blitzed by teams that are not the Vikings, which they're worse at blitzing, but it, it is, uh, something that the Lions have seen and that they've showed that at least they know what to do and they can handle it.

• 43:44Speaker 00

  I feel like the, the, against the blitz numbers just have to be categories in two tranches. It's gotta be against the blitz, against the Brian Flores blitz. Because everything we've heard, everything we've read, everything that anyone has said that is the, it's not that he just blitzes, it's that he, he brings it from exotic places. He brings it so often. He brings it when you're not supposed to, that it just kinda wears you down. So, uh, Max Brosmer, by the way, had 51 passing yards in that game.

• 44:10Speaker 02

  Hell yeah.

• 44:10Speaker 00

  They won 23 to 10.

• 44:12Speaker 02

  Hell yeah. So there's, I mean.

• 44:13Speaker 00

  That's in my head. That's killing me.

• 44:15Speaker 02

  We're forgetting that Kyler Murray is a massive upgrade.

• 44:18Speaker 00

  To Max Brosmer?

• 44:19Speaker 02

  To Max Brosmer, yes. How many yards did you just say?

• 44:22Speaker 00

  51.

• 44:23Speaker 02

  51.

• 44:24Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 44:26Speaker 02

  I mean, Kyler, he's not making mistakes.

• 44:28Speaker 00

  He's not, he hasn't looked great.

• 44:30Speaker 02

  No, he has not.

• 44:31Speaker 00

  Although Max Brosmer did average eight yards of carry against the Lions last year.

• 44:35Speaker 02

  Did you know that Kyler Murray, uh, is the only quarterback in the history of the NFL to be the starting quarterback for the last remaining unbeaten team with two different franchises?

• 44:47Speaker 00

  Whoa.

• 44:49Speaker 02

  Think about that.

• 44:50Speaker 00

  The Cardinals?

• 44:51Speaker 02

  The Cardinals in 2021, I believe.

• 44:53Speaker 00

  That's right.

• 44:53Speaker 02

  Yeah. Don't ask what happened after that.

• 44:56Speaker 06

  That was the first Kingsbury year, right?

• 44:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was, uh, yeah, King Tober hit, and then everything went to shit.

• 45:02Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 45:04Speaker 02

  Just something to think about.

• 45:06Speaker 00

  That is something to think about. That's not a, a fact I would have, uh, guessed. By the way, did you guys see, uh, JMo? I think we gotta bet. If we're gonna bet anything, it's gotta be JMo because.

• 45:15Speaker 02

  The fit.

• 45:16Speaker 00

  That, not only the fit, but did you see the, uh, the sandwich of money?

• 45:20Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 45:21Speaker 00

  Sandwich of cash was pretty cool.

• 45:23Speaker 02

  We should, we should sell that in part of my cheesesteak.

• 45:25Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 45:26Speaker 02

  Cash sandwich.

• 45:26Speaker 00

  He was just a stack, a stack of hundreds in between, uh, white bread with a fork in it.

• 45:33Speaker 02

  I loved it. And I, I love the pants. The pants were my favorite though.

• 45:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 45:37Speaker 02

  He's just wearing pants with the word sex all over them. How, I, I heard that those pants might cost like $20,000.

• 45:43Speaker 00

  Oh, wow. Okay.

• 45:45Speaker 02

  I feel like you could make your own sex pants for way less.

• 45:47Speaker 00

  And he's just in a gas station too. That's the best part.

• 45:49Speaker 02

  Half of his pics on, I, I actually went through his Instagram last night. Half of his pictures are just him in a convenience store. The guy just loves convenience stores.

• 45:58Speaker 00

  That's great.

• 45:59Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 45:59Speaker 00

  That's great. All right. Would you, do you like the Vikings here, Hank?

• 46:04Speaker 02

  No.

• 46:04Speaker 00

  It is such an interesting game because the Vikings are, I mean, they're 30th in offense EPA, they're first in defense. The Lions have all the offensive weapons. The, the Lions defense has been bad, but Brian Branch is back.

• 46:17Speaker 02

  Kirby Joseph, maybe?

• 46:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 46:19Speaker 02

  Is he, is he gonna play this weekend?

• 46:20Speaker 00

  I don't know.

• 46:22Speaker 02

  Cause the defense is getting better.

• 46:24Speaker 00

  Yeah, man. Okay. I, I, I think I lean, uh, I don't know. I, I actually, I, this is one of those games that I feel like no matter which way I pick, I'm gonna be wrong.

• 46:35Speaker 02

  Kirby Joseph did return to practice, uh, but no decision on whether or not he's gonna play.

• 46:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 46:41Speaker 02

  So the defense is, it's improving. Um, and I've been thinking more about the decision Dan Campbell made this week. And I think Big Cat's point, the more I think about it, makes sense.

• 46:52Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 46:52Speaker 02

  That if you're gonna give the ball to the other team, you might as well give them the ball, uh, closer to your goal line and further away. I, I understand that, but then I also just keep hearing people be like, this is garbage. Don't, this is, the analytics have ruined the game that I used to love. Like all the old heads are saying that. And in this case, that's pretty much the entire argument. And they also might have a point too. It ju, it just doesn't feel right for some reason. Maybe that's just me struggling with, uh.

• 47:19Speaker 00

  Oh, it definitely doesn't feel right, but that's kind of the, the beauty of it. That's kind of what Dan Campbell, like that, I, that's where I love watching him because he's just like, I'm, you think I'm a meatball? I'm going to do things my way. And, uh, yeah, I, I don't know. I think he just has so much trust in his offense. Like I was watching, I don't know, it came on my algorithm. It was from, I think last year. Remember the Lions Packers game last year where the pack, the Lions could have kicked a field goal to win the game with like 50 seconds left and it was fourth and one, and he decided to go for it.

• 47:59Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 47:59Speaker 00

  Instead, so that they had zero seconds left and everyone was like, what the fu, but like listening to him and golf talk, they were mic'd up for this. They were, like the confidence they both have in each other, it's crazy. So I think that's just really, like they confidently thought they were gonna get that one yard.

• 48:14Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 48:14Speaker 00

  And they knew that the downside, they could live with it.

• 48:16Speaker 02

  And the fact that it's Dan Camp, that he's doing it and that he always does stuff like this, it's better than if one coach just decided to do that.

• 48:24Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 48:24Speaker 02

  Because that guy would probably get fired if it didn't work out. With Dan Campbell, at least he's got a track record and reasons why he does stuff. And so, yeah, I guess just kinda stick with who you brought to the dance and that's kinda what Dan Campbell's always done. So I get it, but that's the one example where I just think, yeah.

• 48:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 48:41Speaker 02

  I just think to myself like, that just doesn't feel right.

• 48:43Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 48:44Speaker 02

  That you do it.

• 48:44Speaker 00

  It doesn't feel right, but, but my whole thing with the, the aggressiveness, don't be aggressive, be aggressive. Just consistency. Be aggressively you and don't waver and change who you are and like cower in moments. Cause that's when you lose the edge.

• 48:59Speaker 02

  Like, don't switch it up and, uh, pick a favorite for the hungry dog.

• 49:03Speaker 00

  Right.

• 49:03Speaker 02

  Like this is who you've been.

• 49:04Speaker 00

  Right.

• 49:05Speaker 02

  It should always have a plus sign X, always.

• 49:07Speaker 00

  Don't change who you are.

• 49:08Speaker 02

  Always an underdog.

• 49:09Speaker 00

  Yeah, be your, uh, as, as, as my good friend Matt Nagy used to say, be you.

• 49:15Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm. PU.

• 49:16Speaker 00

  PU. Should write it to himself. Okay. Titans at Bengals. By the way, Zach, uh, and chime in anytime, cause you are back. I, I think we said at the beginning of the show, how, how are you feeling?

• 49:29Speaker 06

  Uh, I feel good. I'm glad to be back. I miss you guys.

• 49:32Speaker 00

  Okay. No one gets more sick than you.

• 49:36Speaker 06

  Well, I'm good for once a year.

• 49:37Speaker 00

  I don't mean that as like in a bad way, cause I do actually, you texting me being like, hey, I'm so sorry for being sick, was a crazy text. You don't have to apologize for being sick.

• 49:48Speaker 06

  Well, I was just making sure there wasn't anything, anything that needed to be done outside that could be done sick.

• 49:53Speaker 02

  I got a question for you, Zach, because you, you hit us up on Sunday and you said that you were sick and that you couldn't come in, which understand, well, we don't want you to come in. We would get mad if you did come in while you're sick. And then you said that the fever broke and you would be fine. And then you missed the next couple of days, which again, if you were sick, I think that's.

• 50:09Speaker 06

  Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

• 50:12Speaker 02

  Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, I'm saying you made the right choice. I'm just wondering if you lied to us initially on Sunday about not being sick anymore, or if you were uncomfortable saying, I'm still sick, because we want you to be able to tell us when you're still sick.

• 50:25Speaker 06

  No, I, I didn't have a fever anymore. I was just keeping the updates. But I feel like I, I made sure to go through proper channels. Tested yesterday, all good.

• 50:34Speaker 02

  Okay. Tested for what?

• 50:36Speaker 06

  I, I took a COVID test and a flu A and B test.

• 50:39Speaker 00

  Wow. You still have COVID tests?

• 50:41Speaker 06

  It was like a combo test.

• 50:43Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 50:44Speaker 06

  Which make, I was a little hesitant, cause it's just, oh, you can jam all that in one test. But yeah, there's like a beaker and stuff attached. I kinda felt, it kinda felt like a science experiment.

• 50:51Speaker 02

  Shane's never passed the combo test.

• 50:54Speaker 00

  No, no, not once. Okay. Uh, Titans Bengals. Bengals are now 11 and a half point favorites because of the Jeffrey Simmons news. Over under is 46 and a half.

• 51:06Speaker 00

  I don't really wanna spend much time on this game. I just think the Bengals should win this game and they should win it easily and we should move on.

• 51:11Speaker 02

  I agree.

• 51:11Speaker 00

  The Titans are trading, they traded their best player today. They're basically saying, we're, we're going for the future, which they now have four first round picks in the next two years.

• 51:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, it could be a case where everyone, like a big letdown spot because everyone realizes we're, we're officially waving the white flag. But also, it's also putting everybody in that locker room on notice.

• 51:29Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 51:30Speaker 02

  Like, do you want to get out? Jeffrey Simmons got out. Maybe if you play as good as Jeffrey Simmons.

• 51:34Speaker 00

  We'll let you free.

• 51:35Speaker 02

  You'll earn, yeah, you'll earn your way out of Tennessee. Also, what you put on film right now, it is kinda defining for you if you want to continue playing in the NFL next year.

• 51:43Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 51:44Speaker 02

  Um, but yeah, that's more of something that you get when you have an interim coach, not necessarily starting a fire sale, so. I like, I like the Bengals.

• 51:52Speaker 00

  So we are in week, uh, what, we're week eight. The Titans have played how many games? Have they played? Do they have their bye yet? What's the Titans' record? They're one and five? Is that right?

• 52:03Speaker 03

  One and six.

• 52:04Speaker 00

  One and six. So they played all seven games. Uh, will this be the week that Cam Ward gets a thousand yards? Right now he's at 867 yards and eight touchdowns.

• 52:16Speaker 02

  Yes. Because I, I expect them to be playing from a deficit for most of the game.

• 52:22Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 52:22Speaker 02

  So I think they're gonna have to throw it.

• 52:23Speaker 00

  Also, those were JSN stats because that was going viral, uh, all week where, uh, this is from Patrick Simpson. He said, someone said Cam Ward's stats look like J and JSN stats, but seeing it by side by side is nuts and it really is.

• 52:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 52:37Speaker 00

  Cam Ward has 998 yards, four touchdowns. Jackson Smith has 867 yards, eight touchdowns. It's like, what the fuck?

• 52:47Speaker 02

  That's wild.

• 52:48Speaker 00

  It's wild.

• 52:49Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 52:49Speaker 00

  He's only, he's only a hundred yards behind a, a starting quarterback.

• 52:54Speaker 02

  Do you think that most Titans fans are, they've, they've had the conversation with themselves? Are we at that point? Or are, there's still room to go, I think, for some of them. If you're, if you were a true Cam Ward day one guy, you're probably thinking to yourself, you're looking up all the stats for every quarterback that was bad through the first two seasons.

• 53:11Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 53:11Speaker 02

  And, and convincing yourself that like Cam is still that guy. I'd, I'd say it's probably reached the tipping point where over half the fan base might kind of sadly understand that he might not be the guy.

• 53:24Speaker 00

  I think the trade of Jeffrey Simmons basically tells you they probably don't think he's the guy.

• 53:28Speaker 02

  Right.

• 53:28Speaker 00

  Cause they're compiling assets to maybe potentially get the guy.

• 53:33Speaker 02

  Right.

• 53:33Speaker 00

  Right?

• 53:34Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 53:34Speaker 00

  So it just is never, it just hasn't looked, I don't know. I haven't, I haven't watched him and ever been like, oh my God.

• 53:42Speaker 02

  And the thing is, we don't know what it would have looked like if he went to a, a stable franchise.

• 53:46Speaker 00

  For sure.

• 53:47Speaker 02

  We don't, we'll never know.

• 53:48Speaker 00

  Absolutely. Until he goes to the Vikings and the Vikings trade him and then he wins the Super Bowl.

• 53:52Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 53:53Speaker 00

  That sounds like it's right. Yeah. The Bengals are really, really good. Uh, by the way, what was, what was Dexter Lawrence trade for? Cause that actually is a good comp. I know he was probably less because he's a little older, I think.

• 54:06Speaker 00

  Cause if you ask any Bengals fan, would they do the Dexter Lawrence trade again? Oh no, he's actually a little young. He's 28. Would they do the Dexter Lawrence trade again? They'd definitely say yes, right?

• 54:15Speaker 02

  Yeah. I think the, the

• 54:17Speaker 00

  He's been awesome.

• 54:17Speaker 02

  Improvement that the defense has made is exactly what they need.

• 54:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 54:22Speaker 03

  Flip side would be Quinnon Williams.

• 54:25Speaker 02

  Yep. Yeah, true. Quinnon Williams for sure.

• 54:28Speaker 00

  But you gotta get the good ones.

• 54:30Speaker 03

  What?

• 54:31Speaker 00

  You gotta get the good

• 54:32Speaker 02

  Difference is Jeffrey Simmons is good.

• 54:33Speaker 00

  Tackles. Yeah.

• 54:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 54:37Speaker 03

  I think it was just the

• 54:38Speaker 00

  Oh, they had to give him a contract extension. That's right. Okay.

• 54:40Speaker 03

  So just one, yeah.

• 54:41Speaker 00

  Yeah. Okay. But yeah, I mean, that's, that's a, he, Dexter Lawrence has been a game wrecker. He's been awesome. So.

• 54:48Speaker 03

  Yeah. It was just one pick.

• 54:49Speaker 00

  Got it. Uh, all right.

• 54:53Speaker 00

  Next game, Cardinals, Cowboys. Cardinals plus six and a half. At Dallas, over, under 54 and a half. Uh, anything on this game?

• 55:04Speaker 02

  Um.

• 55:05Speaker 00

  Cowboys are gonna look good and everyone's gonna, like you said, they're gonna, the conversation is gonna start happening.

• 55:09Speaker 02

  Well, that's what I was thinking, but then I, I also remembered last year. Remember that, was it Monday night game?

• 55:14Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 55:15Speaker 02

  Cardinals and the Cowboys?

• 55:17Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 55:17Speaker 02

  Was that one of the, the weird like animation games, if I remember?

• 55:20Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 55:22Speaker 02

  I, the Cardinals could come out and shock you. I don't think it's gonna happen this week. I think this is gonna be, the Cowboys look right. Everything's great in Dallas. Jerry's happy. They just beat the, uh, the remaining skeleton of the Eagles. And the Cardinals and everyone's thinking, okay, this is the year that Dak puts it all together. We go on a deep run and then, uh, reality's gonna smack him.

• 55:44Speaker 00

  I do think, I was thinking about it more, cause I agree with you on, on the, the, the surface of it of like the conversation about the Cowboys making this deep run is crazy. I do think the Cowboys, not to, not to steal your Steelers, but I think they could win one, one playoff game. Because

• 56:00Speaker 02

  They've done it before.

• 56:01Speaker 00

  Well, and they would be home.

• 56:02Speaker 02

  Right.

• 56:03Speaker 00

  Like that would be a home game.

• 56:04Speaker 02

  We've, we've seen that before.

• 56:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, for sure. They could definitely lose it too. But like, I could see them winning a playoff game and then, and then just getting thrashed by someone in the top.

• 56:13Speaker 02

  What was your reaction to seeing Jerry Jones and Stephen A. Smith, uh, buddy buddy?

• 56:19Speaker 00

  Uh, I've seen, I feel like I've seen it a bunch of times. They just do it all the time.

• 56:23Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 56:23Speaker 00

  He's like, Stephen A., Stephen A. will just, he'll, he'll, he'll buddy buddy with any type of power.

• 56:29Speaker 02

  Whenever I see that, I just think, I think to myself, like this is, uh, Stephen A. Smith is just laying the groundwork right now for, right? He's not actually, uh, a Jerry Jones fan. He's laying the groundwork for an elaborate troll.

• 56:40Speaker 00

  I think Jerry Jones is a Stephen A. fan.

• 56:43Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 56:43Speaker 00

  Because Jerry Jones is definitely one of those guys where, and, and credit to him, he doesn't care whether you're saying bad things, good things, whatever. If you're talking about the Cowboys, he's happy. It does not matter. Like he, he wants, he wants the Cowboys to lead every show and you could bash them, but they're leading the show.

• 57:03Speaker 02

  Yeah. I'm just saying Stephen A. is about to break out the cowboy hat soon.

• 57:06Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 57:07Speaker 02

  And then we're gonna go through that whole song and dance again. Yeah. I put it like 50 50 Cowboys don't have to be good to win the NFC East. That's the thing. It's like, they, they could look like they're pulling it all together, but in reality, they might just be winning that division.

• 57:19Speaker 00

  Here's a weird stat. Dak Prescott is one in 10 against the spread against the NFC West since 2020. Now the NFC West has had some really good teams, but like you said, the Cardinals last, last year beat them.

• 57:33Speaker 00

  Jacoby.

• 57:34Speaker 02

  Cardinals also used to be in the NFC East.

• 57:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 57:37Speaker 02

  What a weird time that was.

• 57:38Speaker 00

  Uh, fuck Michael Bidwell. We'll just throw that in there. Um.

• 57:43Speaker 02

  People are real mad about the casitas.

• 57:46Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 57:46Speaker 02

  I didn't realize that the casitas were a hot button issue, but it sounds like some, some fuckery.

• 57:50Speaker 00

  They moved, they moved like the cheap, basically where fans could get cheap, low level seats, like close to the field. They're basically like, haha, fuck you.

• 57:59Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 57:59Speaker 00

  And I, and I think the way they did it too, is they moved them out without basically giving them an option for like better seats. So yeah, the guy's a bad owner. I just can't stand owners that don't wanna own it. They don't wanna win. They don't wanna own a team. They just own a team and they try to grab, squeeze every dollar out of it. Give the fan, give the fan something else. Hi. If you're not gonna sell a team, hire someone who actually can run it. That, that would be my other thing. Hire someone and get out of the way.

• 58:29Speaker 02

  When they, they had Bruce Arians running the show, that's when it was at its best because Bruce Arians is probably like not afraid to tell Bidwell, fuck off.

• 58:36Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm. Yeah. Bad guy. Okay. Let's see. Raiders, Jets memes.

• 58:43Speaker 03

  Gino revenge game.

• 58:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:44Speaker 02

  Is it revenge?

• 58:47Speaker 03

  What'd you say, P F C?

• 58:48Speaker 02

  Is that a revenge game?

• 58:49Speaker 03

  Oh yeah. Basically ruined his career.

• 58:52Speaker 00

  Okay. Well, the Jets, the Jets kinda ruined his career too, cause he got punched in the face.

• 58:57Speaker 03

  That was I K.

• 58:58Speaker 02

  But are you saying that the Raiders ruined his career so badly that his only choice was to go and play for the Jets?

• 59:03Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 59:04Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 59:05Speaker 02

  Okay. Yeah. I mean, I can't argue with that.

• 59:08Speaker 03

  And that also, that just leads me into my other theory that Gino is gun shy this year. And he's trying to play for a contract. Like if you look at his stats, he's actually having a really good year. But if you look at the film, if you look at the film, he's so gun shy.

• 59:22Speaker 00

  He's not trying, he's trying to purposely not throw any interceptions.

• 59:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 59:26Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 59:26Speaker 03

  Even though he did do that last week, but he's only got two interceptions on the year. He led in interceptions on the Raiders last year.

• 59:33Speaker 02

  He's looking at like a contract to be the, uh, like the Titans quarterback next year.

• 59:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 59:39Speaker 02

  A bridge quarterback. And then he has a good year. They have a young guy that they want to move in and start ahead of him. And then a team like the Jets picks him up after.

• 59:49Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 59:49Speaker 02

  After playing for the Titans.

• 59:51Speaker 03

  Essentially. Yeah.

• 59:51Speaker 02

  Okay. That's actually not a bad business model, if that's what Gino's up to. He's kinda got it all figured out.

• 59:58Speaker 04

  Aren't you in must lose like mode now that your season's over?

• 1:00:02Speaker 03

  No, not yet. We have so many picks that it doesn't really matter.

• 1:00:05Speaker 00

  They have other teams picks, so.

• 1:00:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, we have the Colts pick.

• 1:00:08Speaker 00

  So you're not in must lose, not must win. You just exist.

• 1:00:12Speaker 03

  We just exist. We're, we're the Hank of, of football.

• 1:00:16Speaker 00

  I, uh,

• 1:00:17Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:00:18Speaker 03

  I'm, I'm We're existing.

• 1:00:20Speaker 04

  You can't, no, you can't. If you can't exist, then you're not me.

• 1:00:24Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:00:24Speaker 04

  Because I cannot.

• 1:00:25Speaker 00

  Hank cannot exist.

• 1:00:26Speaker 02

  I would say that the Texans might be the Hank of football where it's like, oh, you, all you say is our offense needs to get better. Well, our offense got better, but now your defense is better. Well, I can't exist.

• 1:00:37Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, what were you saying?

• 1:00:39Speaker 03

  I'm a strong believer that unless you need a quarterback and there's like a quarterback that you're like going for in the next draft, it's better to win games for the future of the franchise. It's better to build a winning culture for the guys that will be there for, for the years to come. Rather than like going 0-16 and getting the first pick instead of the eighth pick, isn't gonna change a franchise. Providing like a winning culture will.

• 1:01:05Speaker 00

  Counterpoint. Go ahead.

• 1:01:07Speaker 04

  One dude on three, one, two, three. It's the Jets.

• 1:01:09Speaker 00

  Oh. My counterpoint would be

• 1:01:12Speaker 04

  Build a winning culture.

• 1:01:13Speaker 00

  Is he gonna be your coach?

• 1:01:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's a good point.

• 1:01:15Speaker 00

  Like the coach doesn't matter. You know what I mean? You can't, winning games with, like if, if Aaron Gunn's not gonna be your coach, the culture's gonna change anyway, and the culture starts with the coach anyway. So.

• 1:01:26Speaker 03

  That's a good point.

• 1:01:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:01:27Speaker 03

  I guess, I'm, I'm looking at it.

• 1:01:31Speaker 03

  And you have such a young roster.

• 1:01:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:01:33Speaker 03

  I think it's better to win. Like I'm, I, in football, I think it's better to win.

• 1:01:37Speaker 02

  Because that teaches, it just establishes like an expectation.

• 1:01:41Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:01:42Speaker 00

  Well, I also think it's

• 1:01:44Speaker 03

  There's so many

• 1:01:45Speaker 00

  It's too early to talk about, like if, if this conversation is happening in mid to late December, when it's like three games left. If you lose out, you can go up to like the number two pick and you're sitting at the eighth pick or whatever, then it makes sense. It's, it's not even Halloween. You have to try to win games still.

• 1:02:02Speaker 03

  I'm doing, I'm looking at this as a bias of, I, I hear some Eagles fans like wanting to lose and I think that's bullshit.

• 1:02:08Speaker 00

  Yeah, no, try to win games.

• 1:02:09Speaker 03

  The Eagles aren't gonna do anything this year. They're not gonna make the playoffs. I still want them to win games. I still want them to change what's going on in like the culture of the team right now.

• 1:02:18Speaker 00

  I agree.

• 1:02:19Speaker 02

  Hank, what were you saying about culture and the Jets?

• 1:02:23Speaker 04

  You just can't, like you, it's hard to build a winning culture ever. It doesn't matter what you're doing if you're the Jets.

• 1:02:30Speaker 03

  It's a fair point.

• 1:02:32Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:02:32Speaker 03

  It's a, it's a very fair point.

• 1:02:34Speaker 00

  Still the Jets.

• 1:02:35Speaker 03

  But, and to that point, we've been picking in the top 10 forever and we suck ass.

• 1:02:42Speaker 07

  So win some games.

• 1:02:44Speaker 00

  Do you, how do you feel about Aaron Glenn saying he, he kind of admitted like, hey, it actually is pretty difficult to call the defense and manage the game?

• 1:02:52Speaker 07

  Yeah, you should probably give one up.

• 1:02:54Speaker 00

  It's never good.

• 1:02:55Speaker 02

  Correct. He's right about that.

• 1:02:56Speaker 00

  I just feel like, hey, guys, just a heads up, like, I'm actually really kind of struggling at my job.

• 1:03:02Speaker 02

  It's a hard job.

• 1:03:03Speaker 07

  I'm a little in over my head.

• 1:03:08Speaker 00

  Such a funny thing, like, it's him for being honest. It's like, yeah, this is actually really difficult for me.

• 1:03:13Speaker 02

  I thought my job was just going to be to like yell at dudes. Now I have to be smart and I'm not. And that's weird. It is, it is two different skillsets for a head coach.

• 1:03:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:03:23Speaker 02

  You have to be, if you're a defense coach or offense coach, you have to be good and understand how to coach a football team and how to install plays, like the small details of all that, the overall strategy. And then you also have to be able to understand game management. The clock, when to go for percentages, analytics. It is two completely separate job descriptions. And if you're lucky, you get one guy that's awesome at both. Maybe some team is just going to start hiring just like a straight up dork.

• 1:03:48Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:03:48Speaker 02

  To, to be, have full autonomy on game day.

• 1:03:51Speaker 00

  And I'm.

• 1:03:52Speaker 02

  Like Aaron Glenn, you take care of all the football shit. This guy is only going to be worried about the clock and timeouts. And he has a hundred percent autonomy on what to do, but the second that guy fucks up at his job, he's fired. Like, we might go through two or three of those guys in a year.

• 1:04:06Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:04:07Speaker 02

  But maybe that would be a better idea for certain organizations that can't find the guy that can do both.

• 1:04:12Speaker 00

  And I, I don't know if this is to be true, but manage, calling defense and managing like the game clock feels, those are kind of at odds because it's like, when you're on offense, you're in control of it and you're, that's when you're trying to think about like, all right, where do we want the clock to be? Defense, you're more reacting. So yeah, it's probably pretty confusing for them.

• 1:04:32Speaker 02

  Yeah. Has there been any like straight up defensive coach that has been awesome at game management? And clock management?

• 1:04:39Speaker 00

  Belichick probably.

• 1:04:40Speaker 02

  Belichick.

• 1:04:41Speaker 00

  Brady was pretty good.

• 1:04:42Speaker 02

  Yeah. Good point. Okay.

• 1:04:43Speaker 00

  McDonald.

• 1:04:43Speaker 02

  Immediate, great point.

• 1:04:44Speaker 00

  See, Aaron Glenn might not be great.

• 1:04:46Speaker 02

  Immediate, immediate, great point with Belichick. Yes.

• 1:04:49Speaker 00

  Yeah. It might just be Aaron Glenn.

• 1:04:51Speaker 07

  They gotta stop hiring first year coaches because Robert Sala did the same thing as opening press conference. He was just like, I probably should have been more hands on with the defense. I just let everybody do their job.

• 1:05:03Speaker 00

  It is a fun, like not fun for Jets fans, thought exercise, but what, what would be your record? What's your record right now? Two and five?

• 1:05:11Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 1:05:12Speaker 00

  What would be your record if you had John Harbaugh?

• 1:05:15Speaker 07

  It's a good question.

• 1:05:16Speaker 00

  Probably three and four at least. Maybe even four and three.

• 1:05:21Speaker 07

  Lost, Bears would have been a loss.

• 1:05:23Speaker 00

  Yeah. Dolphins probably would have been a win. Like that was some mismanagement and just like not prepared.

• 1:05:31Speaker 07

  Lions win, Patriots win.

• 1:05:33Speaker 00

  Yeah. So Packers win. So yeah, that's like six and one.

• 1:05:36Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 1:05:37Speaker 02

  They're the best team in football.

• 1:05:38Speaker 07

  Yeah, no, they would.

• 1:05:40Speaker 00

  But you're right. Start hiring someone who's done it before.

• 1:05:43Speaker 07

  Yeah, there's no point because everybody learns here and they're like, oh shit, I made so many mistakes.

• 1:05:47Speaker 00

  Yeah, I gotta go somewhere else.

• 1:05:48Speaker 02

  Can I throw out just a name?

• 1:05:49Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 1:05:50Speaker 02

  Rex Ryan?

• 1:05:51Speaker 07

  Nah.

• 1:05:52Speaker 02

  Should you have hired Rex?

• 1:05:53Speaker 07

  No. Get, games past them.

• 1:05:56Speaker 00

  Okay. Uh, I'm going with my theory. I, I hate that I'm taking the Jets in this game, but I, Kirk Cousins outside.

• 1:06:04Speaker 02

  You think Kirk's going to last the whole game?

• 1:06:07Speaker 00

  I don't know. They're saying maybe trade bait too. Like who would, who would, who would trade for Kirk Cousins right now? Is there a team? I mean, that obviously injuries happen.

• 1:06:16Speaker 02

  Yeah. He, he instantly become like probably the best backup.

• 1:06:21Speaker 00

  Yeah. Trying to think who's, you know, who actually should probably trade for?

• 1:06:25Speaker 02

  Vikings.

• 1:06:26Speaker 00

  I was gonna say the Bengals, just as a, as we're, we have a pretty good season going.

• 1:06:30Speaker 02

  Yeah. I can see, he would look awesome in that orange.

• 1:06:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:06:33Speaker 02

  But don't they have, do they have Flacco?

• 1:06:35Speaker 00

  Yeah, they have Flacco.

• 1:06:35Speaker 02

  So they're good.

• 1:06:36Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:06:36Speaker 02

  I think if I honestly, the Vikings should trade for him.

• 1:06:38Speaker 00

  The Falcons should trade for him.

• 1:06:40Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:06:41Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:06:43Speaker 07

  Last thing on this game, Ashton Jenty did say the Jets don't want to tackle. So.

• 1:06:48Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:06:49Speaker 07

  There's some, uh, red meat on the table.

• 1:06:51Speaker 02

  Red meat?

• 1:06:51Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 1:06:52Speaker 02

  Love that.

• 1:06:52Speaker 00

  Kind of challenging their manhood.

• 1:06:54Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 1:06:54Speaker 02

  It's a beef game.

• 1:06:55Speaker 00

  That's a big time beef game.

• 1:06:57Speaker 07

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:06:57Speaker 02

  A little lamb game, maybe.

• 1:06:59Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:07:00Speaker 07

  Same thing.

• 1:07:00Speaker 00

  Uh, big brother becomes little brother game, or no, little brother becomes big brother game. Browns plus three and a half against the Steelers, over/unders 39 and a half. I like the Steelers in this game. I think the Steelers, I've been, I've been thinking about it more, been ruminating about it more because I have, uh, we, you know, a lot of our Steelers analysis is essentially they're the same Steelers. I'm ready to say they're not just because Jalen Warren.

• 1:07:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:07:24Speaker 00

  We alluded to it a little bit on Monday's show, but I, they are not the same Steelers. I think they are definitely better than the last few iterations. Their offense has more pop. Aaron Rodgers is seemingly taking more risks, like you, he'll throw it over the middle. And I like Jeremy Bernard's good. I, yeah, I'm kind of, I'm kind of buying in on the Steelers.

• 1:07:45Speaker 02

  The chemistry's there with Jeremy. I also think DK has, he's had some high profile drops. And when he, when he drops, it's like, he really drops the ball, like they're comical drops. But he's also had some really big plays in almost all their wins. DK has made a, a reception that has impacted the ending of that game in a good way for the Steelers.

• 1:08:04Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:08:05Speaker 02

  So it's not like he's, he's really, really bad. It's just he's had some high profile mistakes. But overall, I think he's been a big help to that offense. And, um, they're finally throwing the ball more to Darnell in the red zone, which is what we've always looked for. And this is just a history game for me. It's just a history game. The last time that the Browns swept the Steelers, it was 1988. It's been a very long time.

• 1:08:25Speaker 00

  Thirty seven year old has never seen it happen.

• 1:08:26Speaker 02

  It's been a very, very long time. Is, do you know anyone who's 37? Any Browns fan who's 37?

• 1:08:33Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:08:33Speaker 02

  Jeff DeLo.

• 1:08:34Speaker 00

  Oh, is he?

• 1:08:35Speaker 02

  How old is Dom?

• 1:08:36Speaker 00

  Dom's like 21.

• 1:08:37Speaker 02

  Is he really?

• 1:08:38Speaker 00

  Yeah, he's so young.

• 1:08:39Speaker 02

  He's very mature.

• 1:08:40Speaker 00

  He's so much more mature than everyone.

• 1:08:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:08:43Speaker 00

  But actually, no, he's actually gotten, he, he's less mature now because I banned him from wearing black shoes. You can't wear black shoes anymore. Black shoes did make him seem way older.

• 1:08:54Speaker 02

  He looks like, yeah, in black shoes, you look like a restaurant manager.

• 1:08:56Speaker 04

  You banned Zach too.

• 1:08:57Speaker 00

  Yeah, I did.

• 1:08:58Speaker 04

  I got, I got some, some black Nobles, uh, and Zach was like a little sad. I was like, you like these? Zach? He's like, yeah, those are nice, but.

• 1:09:07Speaker 02

  Not allowed.

• 1:09:08Speaker 07

  Banned in place, man.

• 1:09:09Speaker 02

  Not supposed to wear those.

• 1:09:10Speaker 00

  I don't know why, like, this is one of those situations where part of me is like, hey, should you just relent a little? But I honestly want to puke every time I see you or.

• 1:09:18Speaker 04

  Well, he would wear black, Zach, Zach, Zach, I feel like would wear them appropriately. Dom would wear like black shoes and like white knee high socks.

• 1:09:26Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:09:27Speaker 04

  And it would just look, Zach will wear like black on black and like.

• 1:09:30Speaker 00

  Dom would wear. Dom would wear black shoes and he would walk around with like a plate of pigs in the blanket. And you just be like, what are you doing?

• 1:09:38Speaker 02

  The only guys that can pull off black shoes are guys that would probably kick your ass if you made fun of their black shoes.

• 1:09:44Speaker 04

  Black shoes don't get dirty though.

• 1:09:46Speaker 02

  That's true. That's a very reasonable point, but also.

• 1:09:49Speaker 00

  There's cool black shoes for sure, but it's just like the, yeah, you can't.

• 1:09:54Speaker 00

  Black running shoes are never cool. It's really.

• 1:09:57Speaker 04

  Running shoes are never cool.

• 1:09:58Speaker 07

  Unless you're fast.

• 1:09:59Speaker 00

  Unless you're fast.

• 1:10:00Speaker 02

  Yeah. Yeah. You make everything.

• 1:10:02Speaker 00

  I'll, I'll, I'll, you get the, the noble, because the noble, the nobles make like good black shoes. So put them on and I'll, I'll test them out. Okay?

• 1:10:11Speaker 02

  Those Jordans look good.

• 1:10:12Speaker 07

  The black cement threes are the best black shoes.

• 1:10:14Speaker 02

  Those are good shoes.

• 1:10:15Speaker 00

  Uh, but yeah, so the, I agree with you. History game. I like the Steelers in this game. I think the Browns are a fun story. I do not think the Browns are very good.

• 1:10:22Speaker 02

  Uh, the Browns are the first team in the history of the league to win three straight games by a field goal in the final 10 seconds. It's never been done before.

• 1:10:30Speaker 00

  That's crazy.

• 1:10:31Speaker 02

  So yes, they are a fun story and I'm, I'm happy for Cleveland Browns fans. And, uh, I'm happy that we get closer and closer to having a very uncomfortable discussion about Deshaun Watson, which is, is he going to win comeback player of the year?

• 1:10:50Speaker 02

  Just, just a fun thing to think about.

• 1:10:51Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:10:52Speaker 02

  That's all.

• 1:10:52Speaker 00

  Kenny?

• 1:10:53Speaker 02

  It maybe if, if it's a new position, like quarterback, cornerback, linebacker, running back, comeback.

• 1:11:03Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:11:03Speaker 02

  He would be the comeback, like number one comeback guy.

• 1:11:07Speaker 00

  Would he, would he, would he be eligible just if he hasn't had any incidents in the last year?

• 1:11:12Speaker 02

  Cleaned up his act. Yeah.

• 1:11:13Speaker 00

  Like he's already a better person because he hasn't done anything bad in a while.

• 1:11:17Speaker 02

  Like if you, if you were actually the worst person in the NFL, but you just don't reoffend.

• 1:11:22Speaker 00

  Yes, right.

• 1:11:23Speaker 02

  A year, then you've actually made giant strides compared to somebody who was already a good guy that maybe just had like a broken leg.

• 1:11:30Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 1:11:31Speaker 02

  They came back the next year.

• 1:11:32Speaker 00

  Mm hmm. Yeah. Uh, I also, uh, I'll say right now, I'm, I'm just going to look past the fact that the Steelers did play in France and didn't take a bye and are coming back. I'm just going to be like, you know what? That didn't happen.

• 1:11:44Speaker 02

  And that Aaron Rodgers is old and travel probably wears on him a little bit more.

• 1:11:47Speaker 00

  He did say it was the, the, the best flight that he's ever had in his, uh, career. The, the most fun, probably my favorite flight back from a road game in 22 years.

• 1:11:56Speaker 02

  They did the Kirk O'Chains thing with them.

• 1:11:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:11:58Speaker 02

  They, they put jewelry on, on air and took pictures of them. Yeah.

• 1:12:01Speaker 00

  Yeah. They said the crew is amazing. They let, let us kind of take over the hallways, the alleyways. There's a lot of good times we'd had on that flight.

• 1:12:07Speaker 02

  It's actually very dangerous to do that.

• 1:12:09Speaker 00

  Yeah, you gotta be.

• 1:12:09Speaker 02

  International travel.

• 1:12:10Speaker 00

  You gotta be, you gotta be down. Come on, what are we doing? Uh, okay. Next game. This is actually a sneaky good game and an important game. Falcons plus two and a half at the Bucks. Over/unders 44 and a half. I'm going to say it, boys. I've done some more thinking. And my take that like, hey, watch out, the Bucks could win the South. Um, yeah, I, I, I, I just forgot about Todd Bowles to like its full extent. I, I, I think I want to, I think I want to walk back from what I said because I just like, I just kept on eating away at me like, dude, Todd Bowles, Todd Bowles, Todd Bowles. Like Kevin Stefanski is a very good coach. Todd Bowles is not. That's where this game goes down for me. Go ahead, Zach.

• 1:12:50Speaker 02

  No, you're on the right track. Last week, you had some good gas for the Bucks. We have to forget about the head coach and just think about the guys. We have another week of healthy film. I know, listen, also I know the Panthers run defense not that good, but we established a run last week. We're undefeated in the division. Come on. You gotta give us a little something.

• 1:13:06Speaker 00

  Yeah, I think, uh, you're not wrong that in order to convince yourself, you, you can't, you can't look at a coaching matchup in this. This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. Oh, yeah.

• 1:13:16Speaker 02

  There's, there, like, this is not a made up Baker. I, I have a perceived slight against me because some team, uh, didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is, uh, Baker Mayfield against Stefanski and they haven't talked. Since he left Cleveland.

• 1:13:29Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:13:30Speaker 02

  So this is a, it's a revenge spot for Baker for sure.

• 1:13:32Speaker 00

  And remember, uh, he, he also had the, the shot, yeah, the, the, so the tweet you're referring to was, uh, someone said Kevin Stefanski had a dumpster fire at quarterbacks in Cleveland. Baker Mayfield and Deshaun Watson failed, which started a chain of reaction to 11 other starters. QB Shador Sanders closed out last season with seven starts. Baker quote, tweeted, said, failed is quite the reach, pal. Still waiting on a text call from him after I got shipped off like a piece of garbage. Can't wait to see you twice a year, coach.

• 1:14:00Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 1:14:02Speaker 03

  That's got fired up a little bit. He's still thinking about that. You know, he is. And the rest of the guys in the locker room know that this game means that to him.

• 1:14:09Speaker 02

  Yep, um, we might see a little, uh, some Kyle Pitts action this weekend. He's got 629 receiving yards in eight games against the Bucks. So that's the most against any team. Uh, historically played pretty well against him. He's got four touchdowns in the last three games. He scored six touchdowns against Tampa, which is double. His highest total against any other opponent. I love Kyle Pitts this weekend. I always love Kyle. Every weekend I love Kyle Pitts.

• 1:14:34Speaker 00

  And he's gonna probably disappoint you and it doesn't matter.

• 1:14:36Speaker 02

  And it's okay, cause I'll, I'll keep taking that drug. I'll get back on it the next week.

• 1:14:40Speaker 00

  It'll be fine.

• 1:14:40Speaker 02

  Yeah, this time the high is gonna feel good. I, uh, I do like Michael Pennix on the road as an underdog. He's five and oh. As a road dog as a starter.

• 1:14:50Speaker 00

  Oh, I think, yeah, he's playing well, like what Tommy Reese is doing.

• 1:14:52Speaker 02

  Against the spread, that is.

• 1:14:53Speaker 00

  Yeah, what Tommy Reese is doing with the Falcons, like the Falcons are, are a good team. Uh, I, I, I think that. I think they're, you draw out the first two games of the season and they've been a, a pretty good team.

• 1:15:06Speaker 02

  So I think I like the Falcons in this game. I think I do. And it's, it's almost because of, like, this is such a big revenge game for Baker. And I don't think he's a hundred percent healthy. So he's going to be playing like he's a hundred percent healthy.

• 1:15:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:15:19Speaker 02

  Like when he's not, I don't know. And I also do like the Falcons. So I'm, I think I'm gonna lean to the Falcons.

• 1:15:24Speaker 00

  And we talked about, I mean, the, the Bucks at home, it's been the same game over and over and over and over and over.

• 1:15:31Speaker 03

  Yeah, but this is the re, re, re home opener.

• 1:15:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's true.

• 1:15:34Speaker 03

  Something to think about.

• 1:15:36Speaker 00

  What were you gonna say, Hank? Do you, are you taking the Falcons?

• 1:15:38Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:15:38Speaker 00

  No? Not on the hungry dog?

• 1:15:39Speaker 04

  Nope. Not, probably not. Nothing's official when we record this show.

• 1:15:44Speaker 00

  Um, there are three teams in the NFL right now with a losing record with a positive point differential, the Bucks, the Rams, the Cowboys. That kinda makes sense. That tracks a little bit, you know?

• 1:15:54Speaker 02

  They, they just absolutely fisted the Panthers.

• 1:15:57Speaker 00

  Right. And also they've, they've lost games in horrific ways that have, they have not, the Bucks have not gotten blown out.

• 1:16:03Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:16:03Speaker 00

  They've just been really bad at the end of games, which is the Todd Bowles part.

• 1:16:08Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:16:09Speaker 00

  That's where it all went back to. It's like, dude, what are you talking about? I do actually believe in the Buccaneers. I believe in Baker when he gets healthy. I believe in the Buccaneers defense. I think their offensive line is awesome.

• 1:16:22Speaker 00

  Todd Bowles.

• 1:16:22Speaker 03

  We just gotta forget about Todd. He's not there, big guy. He's not there.

• 1:16:25Speaker 00

  Todd Bowles. All right. You wanna do this game quick? Colts at Jaguars. Jaguars minus 10, over under 46 and a half. Colts are, what? Hank? What?

• 1:16:34Speaker 04

  Colts.

• 1:16:35Speaker 00

  What?

• 1:16:36Speaker 02

  Okay. Do you know?

• 1:16:38Speaker 00

  What?

• 1:16:38Speaker 02

  Do you know the history here?

• 1:16:40Speaker 04

  Do tell.

• 1:16:42Speaker 02

  Do you know how long it's been since, since the Colts have won a football game in Jacksonville?

• 1:16:50Speaker 00

  What?

• 1:16:52Speaker 03

  I don't hate this. I don't hate this, Hank.

• 1:16:53Speaker 04

  2012?

• 1:16:54Speaker 02

  I mean, it's important. I, I'm glad that you're taking a risk here, but you, you should just know the last time they won was 2014. It's been 11 years since they've beat the Jaguars in Jacksonville.

• 1:17:05Speaker 04

  I mean, Jacksonville's not like the hardest place to play in the world. The Colts have just been bad.

• 1:17:11Speaker 02

  I'm just saying that's a, that's a long time and they play each other every year.

• 1:17:16Speaker 04

  That's true.

• 1:17:17Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:17:18Speaker 04

  I don't, I'm not, I don't, I don't look at historical, I don't like, I'm, I'm not like, oh, I'm picking the Colts. Oh, they haven't won 11 years? I can't do that.

• 1:17:27Speaker 03

  The locker room's gotta be a little fired up right now. Trading all the guys. I like it. I like it.

• 1:17:32Speaker 00

  I, I don't have any leg to stand on because last week I thought he was crazy to take the, the Giants and he turned out to be right. He still lost the hungry dog, just for everyone keeping track at home, but he was right about that leg of it.

• 1:17:43Speaker 04

  Hang the banner.

• 1:17:43Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:17:44Speaker 02

  It says, it's Hank's bet. He can do with it as he chooses.

• 1:17:47Speaker 00

  The, the, the Choctawer banner, that's, that's the joke.

• 1:17:50Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:17:51Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:17:51Speaker 04

  But if you're gonna be making jokes about the hungry dog, hang the fucking banner.

• 1:17:54Speaker 00

  Okay. You wanna make a banner? Make a banner.

• 1:17:56Speaker 04

  No, you would. You're.

• 1:17:57Speaker 00

  Well, we gotta wait till the end of the season and then when you don't win it, we'll say, hey, uh, you know, six times he went two for three.

• 1:18:03Speaker 04

  Great.

• 1:18:04Speaker 00

  Great.

• 1:18:05Speaker 03

  You're a hater of, of the dog.

• 1:18:07Speaker 00

  Well, the dog usually, the dog, I mean, I get yelled at for the dog. When I root for my own team, I get yelled at for the dog. There's, the, the dog is, the dog is.

• 1:18:15Speaker 03

  I'm, I'm hopping back in the dog kennel this weekend.

• 1:18:17Speaker 00

  I actually did hop in the dog last week, uh, with the Texans, or with the Giants.

• 1:18:22Speaker 04

  No, no, no, no, no. You can't, you can't pick one game and be like, I hopped in the dog.

• 1:18:26Speaker 02

  Yeah, I won. You know what the problem?

• 1:18:28Speaker 00

  Yeah, I won.

• 1:18:28Speaker 04

  Oh, I took the Bears.

• 1:18:29Speaker 00

  I took a puppy. I took the puppies.

• 1:18:30Speaker 04

  I'm gonna take the Bears first quarter and then for them to lose and be like, I actually was rooting for the Bears last weekend.

• 1:18:34Speaker 00

  No, I took the puppy. I, I won.

• 1:18:36Speaker 02

  You know what my problem with the dog is? I think the dog is more successful when it's hater Hank and you, you intentionally throw in one of our teams to root against.

• 1:18:45Speaker 04

  Nah.

• 1:18:46Speaker 02

  And you've been too, you've been too impartial recently.

• 1:18:48Speaker 04

  No, I'm that, I'm never impartial.

• 1:18:51Speaker 03

  I, I like it better when you don't do that.

• 1:18:53Speaker 00

  No, you, you are impartial.

• 1:18:56Speaker 02

  Yeah, you're being too impartial.

• 1:18:57Speaker 04

  I'm, yeah. I'm always impartial.

• 1:18:59Speaker 00

  You are always impartial.

• 1:19:00Speaker 02

  There were some times when you would intentionally like.

• 1:19:03Speaker 00

  No, I actually will back up Hank on this. I do, I didn't think he did it intentionally. I think he just likes what he likes.

• 1:19:08Speaker 02

  I think, I think it wins when he does that though.

• 1:19:10Speaker 04

  I don't do that though, so wrong.

• 1:19:13Speaker 00

  And it also doesn't win.

• 1:19:14Speaker 04

  It does win. It won last year, won the year before.

• 1:19:17Speaker 02

  Back when you were a real hater, not this new kinder gentleman.

• 1:19:20Speaker 04

  There's a lot, there's a lot of year. I don't think you guys understand the math behind the hungry dog. If I win one week, I'm even. And if I win two, I'm up big.

• 1:19:28Speaker 00

  All right. So I'm hopping in. Colts?

• 1:19:30Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:19:31Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:19:31Speaker 04

  You're not, you said this last week and then didn't.

• 1:19:33Speaker 00

  I'm gonna do it.

• 1:19:34Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:19:34Speaker 00

  I, I didn't, I didn't, I mean, I'm sorry. I loved the Seahawks last week. I apologize.

• 1:19:40Speaker 04

  It's okay.

• 1:19:40Speaker 00

  What do you want me to do?

• 1:19:41Speaker 04

  It's okay.

• 1:19:41Speaker 00

  I gave you your flowers for being dead right about the Giants. That was a great pick.

• 1:19:47Speaker 04

  Okay, Colts.

• 1:19:48Speaker 00

  Colts.

• 1:19:49Speaker 02

  I'm just gonna say.

• 1:19:50Speaker 00

  It's so crazy. This is one I like.

• 1:19:52Speaker 02

  I think, I think that's the worst pick that you could possibly make for the hungry dog. And that means, that, that probably means that's gonna win. I, like, I, I'm so against that pick, Hank.

• 1:20:02Speaker 04

  Love it.

• 1:20:02Speaker 02

  That it probably means good things for you.

• 1:20:04Speaker 00

  All right. So Jaguars off a bye. Uh, we haven't seen them.

• 1:20:08Speaker 02

  Everyone's getting traded from Indy. You've got players demanding trades that haven't been traded yet.

• 1:20:12Speaker 00

  Uh, uh, every conversation about the AFC kinda forgets about the Jaguars when they've been really, really good, really consistent.

• 1:20:19Speaker 02

  Ed Dodds, wheeling and dealing. You're forgetting about the Ed Dodds factor.

• 1:20:23Speaker 00

  Ed Dodds factor is always present in the NFL. Everyone always knows what Ed Dodd is doing. I'd actually imagine that before Ryan Poles traded for Jeffrey Simmons, he called Ed Dodd just to be like, hey, I just wanted to give you a heads up. This has nothing to do with you.

• 1:20:36Speaker 02

  Just tapping in.

• 1:20:36Speaker 00

  Just tapping in.

• 1:20:37Speaker 02

  Hope that's cool. I know.

• 1:20:38Speaker 00

  Don't want a trade to go down without Ed Dodd knowing.

• 1:20:40Speaker 02

  The Bears might move to Indiana. I don't want Jeffrey Simmons to be on your turf. If that happens, if you got a problem with it, you let me know, Ed Dodds. The six, the six words no player wants to hear is Ed Dodds wants to see you.

• 1:20:52Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm. Can I give you a bad, uh, stat for this, Hank?

• 1:20:56Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:20:56Speaker 00

  Daniel Jones, his, his career, uh, as a starter versus teams over 500, he's 10, 28 and one.

• 1:21:04Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 1:21:06Speaker 00

  So basically if you're a good team, he doesn't beat you.

• 1:21:10Speaker 04

  It's a bad, it's a bad record.

• 1:21:11Speaker 00

  That's a bad record.

• 1:21:11Speaker 02

  I, I'm, I'm just saying like the more we think about it, the more stats there are against Hank's bet, the more likely it is that it's gonna hit. Yeah.

• 1:21:19Speaker 00

  Yeah, for sure. I mean, the Colts fought last week. They were.

• 1:21:26Speaker 04

  And everything you said about the people overlooking the, the Colts, like the Jags are too probably.

• 1:21:30Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:21:30Speaker 02

  Hmm. True.

• 1:21:31Speaker 00

  Absolutely.

• 1:21:32Speaker 02

  I think that Anthony Richardson should be allowed to play.

• 1:21:34Speaker 04

  I would love that.

• 1:21:35Speaker 02

  And I think, I think.

• 1:21:36Speaker 00

  And it would be a hungry, hungry dog.

• 1:21:37Speaker 02

  I think he should be allowed to play stoned if he wants.

• 1:21:40Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:21:40Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:21:41Speaker 00

  Great.

• 1:21:41Speaker 02

  That would be much more fun.

• 1:21:43Speaker 00

  It'd be very cool. Uh, okay. Before we do the afternoon game, Chevy, football season is here and whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff. There's one ride that's always game ready. It's the Chevy Silverado. There's a reason Chevy's called the heartbeat of American. Silverado keeps that heartbeat strong. Whether you're towing, hauling or tailgating, Silverado lets you show up strong and tackle any task with best in class standard torque, the most functional bed in the advanced tech that's football guy approved. Check out current offers on the 2026 Silverado at chevy.com. Okay. Next up afternoon. So we don't have. We, how many games do you have in the afternoon? We have three games in the afternoon? Oh my God. Is that, am I reading that right, boys?

• 1:22:28Speaker 00

  Oh my God. This is what I, what did you guys say? Well, we've talked about this before, but on pick 'em, I, I did a rant about how. The NFL is, they're ruining their scarcity thing where they, they're just the, the Tuesday, Wednesday games.

• 1:22:43Speaker 02

  I, I have a take. I have a take. Um, did you see the report that came out? Adam Schefter publicized it today. There's been a lot of this bouncing around recently, but the NFL has acknowledged a, a study. That like 75% of players that died between, what year was it? Like 2008 and 2006? I forget the exact, but it is a multi-year study. 75% of players have, uh, some form of CTE at the time of death. Not good stuff. Um. I almost think that the NFL should play less games.

• 1:23:14Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:23:15Speaker 02

  I'm gonna say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like, if you brought it back to 16. Because the NFL has also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find, uh, safer looking ways to do a dangerous activity. Which is like, oh, okay. You know what? We'll, we'll put in another game. Um, but if that's the case, we'll let you guys smoke weed. Or we'll, we'll make sure that we have, uh, concussion spotters and we'll have a blue tent that you have to go into in exchange for doing one more game of the thing that is actively hurting you.

• 1:23:46Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:23:47Speaker 02

  And it's all to cover their ass against litigation. The only, the only way at this point, I think they can actually say with a straight face that they care about player safety is to reduce and go backwards. 16 games, I think is a good schedule. I don't, I, I did not mind 16 games. When it jumped to 17, all it did was confuse everybody. Cause now you have to, no team finishes 500 anymore. It's, um, I, I think that's what the NFL should do. And I also think that it would be, make for a better product on the field. Uh, and it would be just, like I said, it'd be the right thing to do if you really do care about the player's safety.

• 1:24:20Speaker 00

  They don't. Yeah. Uh, I, I have no problem with 17 games. I'm just more the, the way we're trending, the Florio theory last week where he's like, they're gonna play on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I think that's the biggest mistake of all time. I, I think that's where I just get, I start to, I, I will still watch, but when you take games away, Sunday's supposed to mean something. Sunday's supposed to be special. And they're now making it so that every day feels like an NFL day. The, part of the reason why the NFL is the best is Sunday's a religious day for the NFL.

• 1:24:48Speaker 02

  I would imagine that we love football more than 90%, 95% of football fans.

• 1:24:53Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:24:54Speaker 02

  And I'm okay, like 16 games is good. That's a good schedule.

• 1:24:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:24:58Speaker 02

  That's a lot of fucking football.

• 1:25:00Speaker 00

  There's a lot of football.

• 1:25:00Speaker 02

  I just don't think, now that the talk of going to 18.

• 1:25:02Speaker 00

  Well, it's gonna go to 18. It was always 17 to go to 18.

• 1:25:04Speaker 02

  It's impossible. If they go to 18 games, they're going to be signing themselves up for a future lawsuit.

• 1:25:10Speaker 00

  They're gonna go to 20. What were you gonna say, Max?

• 1:25:13Speaker 03

  I think just do more bye weeks.

• 1:25:14Speaker 00

  Yeah, I two bye weeks is great, would be great.

• 1:25:17Speaker 03

  Keep the same amount of weeks, like, keep the same amount of football that you get to watch throughout the year, just give the guys more break.

• 1:25:23Speaker 00

  Yeah, I agree. Two bye weeks. Universal bye.

• 1:25:27Speaker 03

  No, I don't want universal.

• 1:25:28Speaker 04

  I want universal bye bad.

• 1:25:29Speaker 00

  Cause you would miss it so much. It would make you.

• 1:25:33Speaker 03

  What would we do? Would we just not do an episode that?

• 1:25:35Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:25:36Speaker 03

  Then I would be.

• 1:25:36Speaker 00

  No, I'm saying give it to college football. Give that, give that weekend to, to, yeah.

• 1:25:41Speaker 03

  If we, if we got universal bye?

• 1:25:43Speaker 00

  Yeah. No, give it to college football.

• 1:25:47Speaker 03

  Nah, whole bye, whole weekend. Hank, thoughts?

• 1:25:50Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:25:51Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:25:52Speaker 00

  You need, you need your football. All right, Hank. So let's talk about it. Patriots Dolphins, one of the three games of the afternoons. So there's.

• 1:26:00Speaker 04

  Main TV?

• 1:26:01Speaker 00

  This afternoon is going to, Chiefs and Broncos has to deliver because Patriots Dolphins, Chargers, Rams, Chiefs, Broncos. It could sting. It could sting. Main TV?

• 1:26:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:26:16Speaker 00

  I don't really care. I'll be upstairs getting ready for the show.

• 1:26:18Speaker 04

  Great.

• 1:26:19Speaker 00

  Sure. Uh, thoughts on Patriots Dolphins?

• 1:26:22Speaker 04

  Uh.

• 1:26:24Speaker 00

  Dolphins plus seven over under is 43 and a half.

• 1:26:27Speaker 04

  I could see the Patriots not covering just because it's in Miami and they always play weird in Miami. I appreciate them playing this game in the afternoon. So it's not like a bajillion degrees. Uh, they get a little shade, but Patriots, Drake may 16 to know when he's a three point favorite or more, like 12 and four against the spread. I think this is just a take care of business.

• 1:26:46Speaker 03

  Mm hmm.

• 1:26:47Speaker 04

  Win, maybe not cover, but win, move on. Try not to get hurt.

• 1:26:52Speaker 02

  Are you happy that the Dolphins won?

• 1:26:55Speaker 04

  I don't. Yeah, actually, yeah.

• 1:26:57Speaker 02

  Yeah. It makes it way less likely that this is a trap for you.

• 1:27:00Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:27:00Speaker 02

  Yeah. Yeah. I, I think that's definitely fair. Cause at the very least, Vrabel's going to have some, some film to cut up and be like, these guys are good. Look at these plays. Don't, yeah, make, make sure to take them serious.

• 1:27:12Speaker 04

  Extra rest coming off a loss in a game that could have won. Like, I think they're going to come out, you know, ready to go, fired up and just belt ass.

• 1:27:20Speaker 00

  Mm hmm. The, uh, Drake May, weeks one through three, one touchdown, seven giveaways, averaged 12 points a game since week four, 14 touchdowns, three giveaways, 31 points a game. So he's been, he, the yips have been solved.

• 1:27:32Speaker 02

  Mm hmm. Turn it around. And he had, he probably spent the last week and a half doing that simulator.

• 1:27:37Speaker 00

  What was the simulator?

• 1:27:38Speaker 02

  The simulator online.

• 1:27:39Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 1:27:39Speaker 02

  Figure out like what happens when you throw it here, what happens when you throw it there.

• 1:27:43Speaker 00

  Does Glenn have anything for us today?

• 1:27:44Speaker 02

  Well, there was no game. He already broke down the film last.

• 1:27:46Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's right.

• 1:27:47Speaker 02

  So I can't imagine that he had anything.

• 1:27:49Speaker 04

  I actually do have something from Glenn.

• 1:27:50Speaker 02

  Oh, but he already broke down last week's game.

• 1:27:54Speaker 03

  I haven't, I haven't watched it yet, but I do have something from.

• 1:27:57Speaker 00

  Bonus Glenn.

• 1:27:58Speaker 02

  Okay. I'm, I wonder what he's gonna talk about.

• 1:28:01Speaker 00

  Yes. This is when.

• 1:28:03Speaker 03

  Are we good for six minutes?

• 1:28:04Speaker 00

  Dude, this is the, like, I go, when I go to a movie, I'll always look up the runtime and if it's over two hours, I'm like, I can't see this movie. I'm the opposite with Glenn.

• 1:28:13Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 1:28:13Speaker 00

  If it's, if it's, if it's over four minutes, I'm like, oh, I really need this.

• 1:28:17Speaker 02

  I hope if it's six minutes, at least he has something fresh to talk about and it's not just like film breakdowns.

• 1:28:21Speaker 00

  Great.

• 1:28:22Speaker 03

  He's got, he's got something, right?

• 1:28:23Speaker 02

  A football film breakdown.

• 1:28:25Speaker 00

  He is a film guy.

• 1:28:26Speaker 02

  He is a film guy. That's true.

• 1:28:26Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:28:27Speaker 03

  All right, let's take a look.

• 1:28:28Speaker 02

  All right.

• 1:28:30Speaker 05

  Welcome back to another tape watch with Glenn. We're going to be breaking down some very, very valuable film and hopefully learning something today. One thing I always share, especially at the Glenn or Gardner level, is you don't want to make kids specialize in things. We want well-rounded athletes. If you want a good quarterback, if you want a, a good football player, good football, oh, mine is important and healthy to be well-rounded and to diversify your skillset. Don't just focus on one sport. We do love football. In fact, I've got some friends, we, we like to have a little fun with it and say in the fall, if you're getting married, uh, don't invite me to your wedding.

• 1:29:05Speaker 05

  Because I'm going to be watching football instead of going to your, your marriage. So it's kind of a little joke that we have about, you know, we're kind of sickos, but, um, we do like watching football, but it's important to watch on the sports too. So in the spring I say, don't let me in that stuff because I'm probably watching golf. I'm a bit of a golf sicko. I'm a parvert. One thing that I didn't understand until just the other day, it is that the origin of the word pervert, it means the per, like, like as or of, and vert is French for green. So it's like of the green per vert. It is kind of like one of those things where if you really, if you enjoy golf and watching golf and playing a lot of golf, it means that you're kind of a, a sexual freak. So, um, yeah, it's kind of one of those funny things. So don't really trust anybody that, uh, makes golf like their, uh, favorite hobby.

• 1:29:50Speaker 05

  So anyways, I'm saying, oh, let's say we do have a spot available in the upcoming Glenn or not Glenn de taiso. In fact, special announcement, it's now being co-hosted, but we've hired a, a fundraising chair, uh, Ben Mintz. So if you're looking to get into the, it's now called the Glenn or not Ben de taiso, uh, Ben Mintz is going to be happy to take your money in for that last spot. He's doing the keynote speech. So just let Ben know and I'll hope to see you out there. Um, now I'm saying all that to say, we're going to be diversifying a little, uh, this week. We're not just sticking to football on my page as much as I love football because I've got some people behind the scenes of Barstool Sports and, um, they sent me a sneaky link to apparently a match between Hank Lockwood

• 1:30:30Speaker 05

  and PFT. Hank is doing callouts where he calls out his friends and his coworkers.

• 1:30:36Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:30:37Speaker 05

  Tries to embarrass them on the golf course by beating them. I don't really understand it. Doesn't really sound like, um, a content that, that I would care for, but, uh, I'm a big Hank fan. So I thought maybe I'd give it a shot. I did watch enough Hank's, um, previous videos this week, but he's for some reason stopped putting out the match against PFT. My contact, who's very, very big over at Barstool Sports, had access to the footage behind the scenes that Hank wasn't going to put out, sent me the link. And so we're going to break it down right now.

• 1:31:03Speaker 03

  That's a lie, Glenn.

• 1:31:04Speaker 05

  We'll put that out instead of, uh, football. We'll get back to football next week. Uh, six hole here, par five, uh, 50 is a try company Bryson strategy way off in the woods, but go down either fairway. Hank loves this one. Look at that pose. I think he just knows how good he looks in the sun. He's kind of on a tree. Oh, he loves it. Nope. He does not like it. Hank is pissed off because he sucks it off. PFT hitting his second shot down the wrong fairway. Just, you know, normal guy stuff. Hank making up for that bad second shot with probably a worse third shot. Here's four. Don't you back out to the fairway from behind a tree. Uh, PFT again with Stu Foner, uh, playing their own hole, made their own rules, done that. There's another golf. That's, that is the golf cart path in between the two holes. Um, so that's how far out PFT was. Hank hits another bad shot. The ball's

• 1:31:46Speaker 05

  still waddling across the green. It just kept scooting. PFT a little chip up there, a little torso sauce. He's going to have a par putt for five coming uphill. And Hank, I believe that is, uh, for his sixth shot, still off the green. I was on the green, uh, PFT for his par, that putt by BFT, hopefully clean that one up. Here's Hank for his seven. Oh no. Oh no. Don't worry. He'll make the eight. Oh no. All right. Well, he gets a nine on this. Oh no. He missed the nine. That's a ten. That's a, that's a corn top of Bo Y. Hank didn't even record PFT making his last putt. Um, now it's back to back par fives. Here is the, uh, next hole. PFT kind of with the fairway is Hank on the hill. Let's do a bucker out of bucker hill. Um, he's a, he's a New England guy. Here's PFT second shot.

• 1:32:31Speaker 05

  Oh, it looks like he stuck that one up hole high. Hank, yeah, a little torso sauce from Hank right there. PFT with a chip up. That is a green regulation to go on Eric Solen Fergar, uh, fairway and regulation, green and regulation. Hank with a chip. He loves it. Uh, a putt from Hank. Yeah, I missed it, but don't worry. At least, at least Hank, when he's playing bad, he plays fast. So you don't have to worry about getting stuck out there with him. He'll just go ahead and clean this one up and we'll be on our way. Uh, no, he's my step off. He doesn't like it. Uh, he's going to wait. That putt for double spin. Have to wait. PFT really terrible putt. And, uh, not a bad part for PFT. And Hank, let me just break down Hank's swing. That'll be my lesson film. One thing I want

• 1:33:11Speaker 05

  you to see with Hank's swing is as he comes down to the ball, what is this? What is this move that his shoulders are doing, that his, uh, crotch is it that his butt is doing? It's almost like he's shitting and puking at the same time as that club comes down at the ball. Just so much going on with that upper body. Uh, we're going to have to figure out a way to, to, to, to straighten this out, Hank. My advice to you is, um, if you want to improve this swing, is you should probably quit and then it'll be better. Cause it won't exist anymore. Um, that's, you know, maybe, maybe just go back to

• 1:33:52Speaker 05

  being right-handed. Maybe it should go back. I think God meant for you to be a righty. Uh, for a long time, they would kill left-handed guys. And maybe we should bring that back. I don't want it. I don't want to go too far, but after watching this swing, I'm thinking maybe we should just bring back, um, executing left-handed individuals because they're probably witches. Um, so that's the end of the round. It looks like Hank got the call out reversed on him. Um, good news for Hank is he can always go back to golf and right-handed and he is invited to the Glenn or not Ben de taiso. Um, so Hank, if you want to reach out, tell him I sent you and, uh, we'll see you out there on the fairway.

• 1:34:32Speaker 02

  Has actually informative this time.

• 1:34:34Speaker 04

  We can use that video this, this week too.

• 1:34:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:34:37Speaker 04

  It's big.

• 1:34:37Speaker 02

  Golf swing.

• 1:34:37Speaker 04

  Uh.

• 1:34:38Speaker 02

  What was it like?

• 1:34:39Speaker 04

  Well, I haven't signed. I haven't signed anything.

• 1:34:41Speaker 03

  No, he can use that.

• 1:34:42Speaker 02

  What was it like seeing your swing broken down like that?

• 1:34:44Speaker 04

  That was, that was, that was interesting. He, he made some good points.

• 1:34:49Speaker 02

  Did you know?

• 1:34:49Speaker 04

  The swing looked disgusting.

• 1:34:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:34:51Speaker 04

  That swing, I didn't realize how ugly it was until I saw it from that.

• 1:34:54Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's tough.

• 1:34:54Speaker 04

  That view.

• 1:34:55Speaker 02

  It's tough.

• 1:34:58Speaker 00

  Man, good shot. Good shit from Glenn. He's the best.

• 1:35:02Speaker 02

  He makes a good point about not specializing in one sport. That's where we go wrong as a society.

• 1:35:07Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 1:35:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:35:08Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 1:35:09Speaker 04

  And fall weddings.

• 1:35:10Speaker 00

  So Patriots?

• 1:35:11Speaker 02

  True.

• 1:35:13Speaker 04

  Patriots.

• 1:35:13Speaker 00

  Cover?

• 1:35:14Speaker 04

  Mate, nah, I'm, I'm.

• 1:35:16Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:35:17Speaker 04

  The Dolphins are, it's always a weird game.

• 1:35:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:35:20Speaker 04

  Like, I'm not going to say the Patriots are a hundred percent going to cover, but.

• 1:35:24Speaker 02

  Okay. I will be betting on the Patriots. I do believe in Patriots this weekend.

• 1:35:27Speaker 00

  I think they're going to win pretty easily too. Uh, Dolphins got their win.

• 1:35:30Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:35:31Speaker 00

  Okay. Chargers, Rams, Chargers plus six and a half, over under 45 and a half. No, Hank, right?

• 1:35:39Speaker 02

  Oh, no.

• 1:35:41Speaker 04

  I've said, I feel like I've said this. They were just on a bye week last week. I'm, the Chargers are in the hunger dog until they win.

• 1:35:50Speaker 04

  They're coming off a bye.

• 1:35:51Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:35:52Speaker 00

  Oh, no.

• 1:35:54Speaker 02

  Not only are they losing, they're also oh, eight and one against the spread in their last nine games.

• 1:36:00Speaker 04

  So do.

• 1:36:01Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:36:04Speaker 02

  The Rams, the Rams are a little dinged.

• 1:36:07Speaker 00

  Yeah, this is just, they're such a bummer of a football team. They're such a bummer. I guess credit to Mike McDaniel, he kept his job. Yeah. He didn't get fired.

• 1:36:15Speaker 02

  Well, they, they said like, we're going to spend the bye week. No stone will be unturned.

• 1:36:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:36:20Speaker 02

  And then they came back and Harbaugh was like, yeah, we looked everywhere. It turns out, um, we're, we're going to keep doing, we're going to, we're going to keep doing exactly what we've been doing.

• 1:36:29Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:36:29Speaker 02

  Doesn't make a lot of sense.

• 1:36:31Speaker 00

  Sean McVay's thirty, uh, and twelve to the under is a home favorite since 2020. I kind of like that because I do think the Chargers do not have an offense and their defense isn't so, so bad. Right?

• 1:36:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, but that's one of those things that, that's going to run out too. If the offense continues to be dog shit.

• 1:36:48Speaker 00

  Yeah. Also Devonte Adams, uh, apparently is Wolverine. That's a quote from Sean McVay because his six to 10 week injury is closer to six than 10. So that's good for the Rams.

• 1:36:58Speaker 02

  Great.

• 1:36:58Speaker 00

  They can just, I mean, it is a must win for the, they're in must win territory right now until they get above 500. Then they could maybe, and then maybe they'll just run the ball like they did against the Raiders. That'll be big.

• 1:37:09Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:37:10Speaker 00

  Okay. Uh, last one in the afternoon, Chiefs Broncos is a huge game. Broncos plus one and a half, over, under 40 and a half.

• 1:37:18Speaker 03

  This is main TV.

• 1:37:20Speaker 02

  For sure.

• 1:37:21Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah, of course.

• 1:37:22Speaker 02

  We were, I mean, duh.

• 1:37:24Speaker 03

  I know, but I, we, you entertained it because you said you weren't going to be here. I just wanted to make,

• 1:37:30Speaker 03

  make it clear this is main TV.

• 1:37:31Speaker 02

  No, I was, I was trying to get Hank to be like, oh, thank you so much in the moment. There was never, okay, it was never going to be.

• 1:37:37Speaker 03

  Okay. I just wanted to make sure.

• 1:37:39Speaker 02

  Yeah. Come on, Hank, you knew that.

• 1:37:41Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:37:41Speaker 02

  Yeah, you knew it too. We all knew it. We were playing a dance.

• 1:37:44Speaker 00

  Yeah. As, as Stu Finer said, we're being performative.

• 1:37:48Speaker 02

  I don't think that Denver's going to do what they did on Monday Night Football, which is forget how to tackle.

• 1:37:53Speaker 00

  I agree.

• 1:37:53Speaker 02

  I think they've learned how to tackle since then. I also think that Bo Nix, more mobile, big deal. They're four and oh, when Nix rushes for 35 yards or more.

• 1:38:04Speaker 00

  My, I love the, I love the Broncos in this game. I've loved the Broncos all week. My only concern, huge locker room addition in, uh, Justin Tucker.

• 1:38:15Speaker 02

  I agree. I agree. I think this is actually, it's a, it's a chess move by the Kansas City Chiefs because now all the fans are like Harrison Bucker is the good guy.

• 1:38:26Speaker 00

  Yeah. True. Yeah. He gets to be calm again.

• 1:38:29Speaker 02

  Yes, exactly. So maybe, uh, cause he's been bad for the last couple of years. I think he's missed more field goals than anybody.

• 1:38:35Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:38:36Speaker 02

  Uh, so this is going to be, it's just essentially a big magnet for all the hatred that Bucker was getting is now going to be laser focused on Justin Tucker.

• 1:38:45Speaker 00

  Do you think they're, uh, like he just walked in and immediately it was the step brothers? Like, did we just become best friends?

• 1:38:52Speaker 02

  Possibly.

• 1:38:53Speaker 00

  Yeah. The, uh, I, I saw the tweet too. The Chiefs would sign Osama Bin Laden if he ran a four, three. We're getting there, but that's, listen, they have, they, they can afford to do this shit because they have a locker room with Patrick Mahomes and they're coached by Andy Reid. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, like, you know, right or wrong. I'm just saying, when you have a locker room like that, I mean.

• 1:39:15Speaker 02

  I'll say it would be wrong to sign Osama Bin Laden.

• 1:39:17Speaker 00

  No, not Osama. What I'm saying is you know what I'm talking about. Like the teams that have an established coach and head in, in, and quarterback will take risks more often than the other teams.

• 1:39:28Speaker 02

  And Andy, Andy Reid has always been a guy that he, he does not care.

• 1:39:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:39:32Speaker 02

  He'll, he'll sign you if he thinks you can help him win a football game. And, and the Chiefs are well served by having Reid, who is like a relatively clean cut guy.

• 1:39:39Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 1:39:39Speaker 02

  Uh, and you know, oh, shucks. That's just old red running the show.

• 1:39:43Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:39:43Speaker 02

  That type of image. It, it does allow him to get away with stuff that I think a lot of other teams couldn't get. My question is why? Why Justin Tucker?

• 1:39:50Speaker 00

  Yeah, I don't understand it either.

• 1:39:51Speaker 02

  I don't, and why to the practice squad?

• 1:39:53Speaker 00

  Like you could sign anyone. Why would you sign him?

• 1:39:56Speaker 02

  Are you worried that somebody else was going to sign Justin Tucker and then you wouldn't get to use him? Because

• 1:40:00Speaker 00

  It's very bizarre.

• 1:40:01Speaker 02

  Like if you, I would, it would make more sense if you just signed him to be your kicker.

• 1:40:05Speaker 00

  I actually do think your theory is correct. Like he, they're taking the heat off Harrison Bucker.

• 1:40:09Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:40:09Speaker 00

  Like you thought our kicker was a bad guy? Ooh, we got a way worse guy.

• 1:40:13Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:40:14Speaker 00

  The, uh, did you guys see the, there were some very funny memes. One of them, I don't know if it's Avengers or something, two guys fighting and it's just got a, a word bank and it says R A blank I S T and it's the letter C and P fighting each other.

• 1:40:31Speaker 02

  Got it.

• 1:40:32Speaker 00

  Justin Tucker.

• 1:40:34Speaker 02

  Got it.

• 1:40:35Speaker 00

  I don't know where this is from. This is basically also a trade for, you, you know what? Oh, hmm. Hmm. Want to put up your fingers for a second?

• 1:40:46Speaker 00

  Chiefs looked really bad on Sunday Night Football, right? That was one of the worst games I think Mahomes has ever played. Like straight up, he, it was a really bad game. People started talking like, hey, is something wrong with Mahomes? Mahomes not what he used to be. How do we change the discussion about Patrick Mahomes?

• 1:41:04Speaker 00

  We just signed Justin Tucker.

• 1:41:06Speaker 02

  It's like, yeah.

• 1:41:06Speaker 00

  No one's talking about Mahomes right now.

• 1:41:08Speaker 02

  It's the Phil Jackson technique.

• 1:41:09Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:41:09Speaker 02

  Of like, I'm going to make the, I'm going to distract from any criticism of my players by me being a weirdo.

• 1:41:16Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:41:16Speaker 02

  And in this case, it's just like, let's sign, uh, who would probably be like the biggest headline guy that you could bring in.

• 1:41:23Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 1:41:23Speaker 02

  To get people not talking about the stuff that actually matters.

• 1:41:26Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 1:41:26Speaker 02

  Cause it doesn't, it does, the move doesn't make sense, especially like Harrison Bucker not, has not been that great the last couple of years, was a really good kicker before that.

• 1:41:35Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 1:41:35Speaker 02

  Same thing could be said for Justin Tucker too.

• 1:41:37Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 1:41:38Speaker 02

  Like they're both kind of old and washed kickers.

• 1:41:41Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:41:41Speaker 02

  That used to be great. So if you're going to do, I don't know, maybe it's an iron sharpens iron thing.

• 1:41:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:41:45Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 1:41:46Speaker 00

  Uh, okay. So I'm buying on the Broncos. I've been buying on the Broncos. Broncos are, uh, five and two. I think they've played the toughest schedule.

• 1:41:54Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 1:41:55Speaker 00

  So that's, that's something. What are you guys laughing about in the booth?

• 1:42:00Speaker 03

  Nothing.

• 1:42:01Speaker 02

  I have a question.

• 1:42:02Speaker 03

  Literally nothing.

• 1:42:02Speaker 02

  Um, one last thing regarding Justin Tucker.

• 1:42:04Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:42:05Speaker 02

  Are we waiting for, for Queen to make a statement? Like her silence is low key.

• 1:42:11Speaker 00

  Oh, really good point.

• 1:42:13Speaker 02

  Kind of signaling, uh, being complicit.

• 1:42:15Speaker 00

  Whoa.

• 1:42:17Speaker 02

  I'm just saying.

• 1:42:18Speaker 00

  Whoa.

• 1:42:18Speaker 02

  I think she owes it to her fans and to the millions of

• 1:42:22Speaker 00

  Support this team.

• 1:42:23Speaker 02

  Little girls and boys who look up to her as a role model.

• 1:42:26Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 1:42:27Speaker 02

  Just, you know, silence is violence.

• 1:42:28Speaker 00

  Cause if you support the team, you support everyone on the team.

• 1:42:31Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 1:42:32Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 1:42:33Speaker 02

  Well, he's got it. Like he's going to be showing up to the, the Christmas parties.

• 1:42:37Speaker 00

  Hmm. Interesting.

• 1:42:40Speaker 02

  Something to think about.

• 1:42:41Speaker 00

  Uh, I was looking at the Broncos schedule by the way. So they have, uh, the Chiefs this week, but then they have, uh, the Raiders twice, the Chargers, the Dolphins and the Jets. That's five of their last whatever games. So that's, I mean, that's nice. They got a nice schedule coming up. They have a very like that. This is a start, start talking to everyone about maybe the Broncos becoming the one seed again.

• 1:43:06Speaker 02

  Territory. And Jonathan Cooper's back.

• 1:43:08Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:43:09Speaker 02

  There's also that.

• 1:43:10Speaker 00

  Is Surtan back? I don't think so.

• 1:43:12Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 1:43:13Speaker 00

  I mean, the Chiefs don't have a wide receiver to stretch the field anyway.

• 1:43:16Speaker 02

  Right. So Rashid Rice is coming back in the next couple of weeks. I think, I don't know. He's not playing this weekend, right? And then, yeah, I've, I've read a lot of other stuff that they, they will be looking to make in addition at wide receiver if they can.

• 1:43:27Speaker 00

  Yeah. Okay. Uh, last one. Boys Eagles, commanders.

• 1:43:33Speaker 00

  Okay. That was our Eagles, commanders preview.

• 1:43:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:43:35Speaker 00

  This will be the first NBA, NBC's first Sunday Night Football game outside of September that features two teams with a win percentage below 300.

• 1:43:43Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 1:43:44Speaker 00

  Is possibly NBC's worst game on paper to date since they started airing Sunday Night Football in 2006.

• 1:43:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't like it.

• 1:43:50Speaker 03

  I mean, you're not getting any arguments from me.

• 1:43:53Speaker 02

  No, I know. I don't like it any more than anybody else.

• 1:43:55Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:43:56Speaker 02

  No, I really don't.

• 1:43:57Speaker 00

  We all agree that they should have been flexed. What are you going to do? You gotta just live with it now.

• 1:44:00Speaker 02

  Agreed. The only thing I will say is that Jaden Daniels might have a fro.

• 1:44:04Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:44:05Speaker 02

  He's probably just going to get his hair done before the game or at some point between Thursday and Sunday.

• 1:44:11Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 1:44:11Speaker 02

  Uh, but right now he does have a fro and I think it looks awesome. And I could see fro five making a little run here.

• 1:44:17Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 1:44:18Speaker 02

  There's that. And then, um, I just, I, I do want to win this game. I'm afraid that we go on a little run and then my hopes get brought back up and then I just get, right now, my expectation that I'm at right now is actually perfect for where it needs to be. But if you let us fuck around and win a couple of games, I will, I know myself, I will allow myself to buy into winning this division at, uh, nine and eight.

• 1:44:43Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:44:44Speaker 02

  Going on a little run and then anything can happen.

• 1:44:46Speaker 00

  Anything could happen.

• 1:44:47Speaker 02

  And that's not going, it's not going to happen, but anything could happen.

• 1:44:50Speaker 00

  Anything could happen.

• 1:44:51Speaker 02

  So I, I do want to win this game. That I am certain of. I'm just afraid of what that will do to me.

• 1:44:56Speaker 00

  Right in Max's face.

• 1:44:57Speaker 03

  You also can't go nine, eight.

• 1:44:59Speaker 02

  Oh yeah, true. Leave a tie. That's true. Yep. Fair enough. Valid. Eight, eight and one. Eight, eight and one might win this division and that'll be the funniest record of all time.

• 1:45:09Speaker 00

  Max?

• 1:45:10Speaker 03

  That's idiotic of you to say, there's no way the commanders are winning the division. There's also no way that the Eagles are winning the division. I just, like I said earlier, I want them to keep, I want them to start winning some games to not just become a loser franchise.

• 1:45:22Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:45:22Speaker 03

  Which is what you should be thinking, but you're not.

• 1:45:26Speaker 02

  Well, I'm also thinking that

• 1:45:29Speaker 03

  Franchise.

• 1:45:29Speaker 02

  I'm a loser. I personally, myself, I personally, PFT, am a loser franchise. Yes. But if we win too many games, that would mean that the current head coaching staff

• 1:45:41Speaker 03

  That's a good point.

• 1:45:42Speaker 02

  Stick around. And then I think that would make us be more of a loser franchise in the long term.

• 1:45:46Speaker 03

  That's a good point.

• 1:45:46Speaker 02

  As opposed to wasting the dynamic, uh, easy cap years of, uh, your young, talented quarterback. That's what I'm, that's, that's what I'm concerned about. That's what I'm weighing, but I will allow myself to buy back in.

• 1:45:59Speaker 00

  Speaking of coaches, Jeffrey Lurie has fired four coaches. Uh, he might've fired, no, I think that's all the four that he has. He's fired four coaches since he's been the owner of the Eagles since 1994. All of them have happened after a five plus game losing streak.

• 1:46:18Speaker 02

  And I believe Doug Peterson was fired. After a Sunday night game against the commanders.

• 1:46:23Speaker 00

  This will be the fifth game for Nick Sirianni to lose.

• 1:46:27Speaker 02

  Remember that Max?

• 1:46:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:46:29Speaker 02

  The Nate Sudfeld game, right?

• 1:46:31Speaker 00

  I don't think they should fire Nick Sirianni, but I'm just pointing it out that Jeffrey Lurie, somewhere around five games, he starts to get a little, little gun, you know, like little crazy.

• 1:46:40Speaker 03

  I, I have something to say.

• 1:46:43Speaker 00

  Oh, please.

• 1:46:44Speaker 03

  Of, I don't want them to fire Nick Sirianni. If they do, I wouldn't hate it being in the middle of the season, see what you got in Sean Mannion.

• 1:46:53Speaker 00

  Oh, as head coach?

• 1:46:55Speaker 03

  See what you got. Like if you already know that you're gonna fire him. If you already, like, why just go through the, like, there's no hurt of knowing, of seeing what you, what Sean Mannion would do as a head coach.

• 1:47:07Speaker 02

  That's famous last words.

• 1:47:08Speaker 03

  Why?

• 1:47:09Speaker 02

  There's no harm in seeing what Sean Mannion can do. Memes was making a face.

• 1:47:12Speaker 03

  But I'm.

• 1:47:12Speaker 02

  I've never seen from a man before, like.

• 1:47:14Speaker 03

  I'm just saying, like.

• 1:47:15Speaker 02

  He looks like you just shit in the booth. Memes, what's, what's going on?

• 1:47:20Speaker 03

  Uh, yeah, I don't think, I don't think you want that either.

• 1:47:23Speaker 00

  But what's the, what's the harm? Tell me, tell me the, I don't even care if it's Sean Mannion.

• 1:47:27Speaker 03

  Uh, it's, if it's anybody else.

• 1:47:28Speaker 02

  I'll tell you the, I'll tell you what I think the harm might be.

• 1:47:30Speaker 03

  If you're already, I'm saying, if you're already know that you're going to fire him after the season.

• 1:47:35Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:47:35Speaker 03

  What's the harm of seeing what somebody else, you just get like a free trial.

• 1:47:40Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:47:41Speaker 03

  You're just, you're just running through the system for no reason, if that's the case.

• 1:47:45Speaker 02

  I think when you put it that way, if you're, if you've already made up your mind.

• 1:47:47Speaker 03

  That's what, that's what I'm saying.

• 1:47:48Speaker 02

  I'm saying I would not fire Nick Sirianni to roll the dice for the rest of the season, see what Sean Mannion has, because I do think that it'd be very short sighted, because Nick Sirianni, for all the weird shit and, and easy stuff to poke holes in. He had, he's a Super Bowl head coach and he's gotten to two Super Bowls and he's doing something right. This is.

• 1:48:06Speaker 03

  You're forgetting how I started that.

• 1:48:07Speaker 02

  Season from hell.

• 1:48:08Speaker 03

  You're forgetting how I started, started that discussion.

• 1:48:10Speaker 02

  I might be.

• 1:48:10Speaker 03

  Is that, I said that, I was like, I don't want to fire Nick Sirianni.

• 1:48:14Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:48:14Speaker 03

  I'm saying if you've made up the decision to already do it after the season, don't wait.

• 1:48:19Speaker 02

  For an interim head coach? Yeah, but.

• 1:48:21Speaker 03

  But why not? Like, why not? Why, like, basically what Big Cat said, he was, he was like, you know, Jeffrey Lurie gets, gets gun shy and he, and he doesn't.

• 1:48:30Speaker 00

  Itchy, itchy finger.

• 1:48:31Speaker 03

  Whatever. He gets, and if that's the case, then, then just do it, then just do it now.

• 1:48:37Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah, I agree with that.

• 1:48:41Speaker 03

  That's, that's, that's all I'm saying.

• 1:48:42Speaker 00

  See what you got.

• 1:48:44Speaker 03

  I, I, to be clear, I don't think that they should, that they should do it.

• 1:48:48Speaker 00

  I don't either.

• 1:48:48Speaker 03

  That, but I'm saying if that were the case, just do it.

• 1:48:52Speaker 02

  Hmm. I agree with that. I don't think they should fire him.

• 1:48:56Speaker 03

  Neither do I.

• 1:48:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:48:59Speaker 00

  Okay. I'm excited to watch this game. Are we going?

• 1:49:02Speaker 03

  No, you're not. Don't say that.

• 1:49:03Speaker 00

  I'm excited to watch you, watch, you two watch this game.

• 1:49:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, like we're, this is like the least amount of juice that we've ever had going into an Eagles commanders game.

• 1:49:13Speaker 00

  Are we going to record the show during the game?

• 1:49:15Speaker 02

  I think we should.

• 1:49:16Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:49:16Speaker 02

  Uh, yeah, I think we should. I'm, I'm a little bit, there's parts that I'm excited for, but it's gonna be a bummer. I don't think anyone who's not a commander.

• 1:49:25Speaker 03

  What are you excited for?

• 1:49:26Speaker 02

  I'm excited, maybe Jayden looks good again.

• 1:49:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, I get, I, yeah, I mean, I guess.

• 1:49:30Speaker 02

  He's been playing well, so there's a possibility that he does some exciting shit and that I feel good and then, uh, that I feel good for like two hours.

• 1:49:38Speaker 03

  I'm excited for nothing. I'm excited for absolutely nothing.

• 1:49:41Speaker 00

  Nothing.

• 1:49:43Speaker 03

  There's, I'm, the team is, there's no, it's all, it's a practice squad team. We're just, we're just playing with, we're just doing practice squad on an NFL Sunday.

• 1:49:53Speaker 00

  Hmm. All right. Do we have, uh, do we have Jerry?

• 1:49:59Speaker 03

  We have, we have two videos from Jerry. He just updated one.

• 1:50:03Speaker 00

  Why?

• 1:50:04Speaker 03

  Uh, he said this one is funnier. So we're in a funnier situation.

• 1:50:08Speaker 02

  Do we want to watch the funnier one?

• 1:50:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, let's watch the funnier one. I think everything Jerry does is funny.

• 1:50:13Speaker 02

  That's the problem.

• 1:50:14Speaker 00

  What's, what?

• 1:50:20Speaker 00

  What's our record? We still don't know?

• 1:50:22Speaker 02

  I'm locked out. It's, it's been a full on mutiny.

• 1:50:26Speaker 00

  Oh, fuck.

• 1:50:27Speaker 02

  Wait, I did, I see, I saw some activity in the group chat.

• 1:50:31Speaker 00

  Was it Jerry?

• 1:50:34Speaker 00

  All right, here we go. This is the funnier one.

• 1:50:38Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:50:41Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:50:42Speaker 03

  This is not, this is not how I thought this was gonna.

• 1:50:44Speaker 00

  He's wearing a, like a painter's jet.

• 1:50:46Speaker 02

  Breaking Bad. He looks like Breaking Bad right now.

• 1:50:48Speaker 00

  Breaking Bad, but he's wearing.

• 1:50:49Speaker 03

  It's a hazmat suit.

• 1:50:50Speaker 00

  Fresh lettuce bag salad. Big, huge one. Okay.

• 1:50:55Speaker 00

  What the hell is this?

• 1:50:58Speaker 07

  Uh, hey, what's up guys? Happy Halloween. Start the music memes. I'm the poop lettuce from the summer. Remember the, the lettuce that made you shit your pants? That's what I am this summer. Um, okay, we're gonna, uh, we're gonna, uh, start, uh, we're gonna start PFT for that lesson in Latin. That was really cool. Um, per cent, part a hundred. Uh, we're gonna sit PFT for that, uh, weird, uh, peptide take that he had. That's, uh, save that for macrodosing. Uh, Big Cat, look at me, off your phone, Big Cat.

• 1:51:33Speaker 00

  I'm actually the only one not on my phone.

• 1:51:34Speaker 07

  We are gonna sit you guys for having such a weak takes on Pat McAfee. Come on, man. Like, uh, we're gonna stop McAfee who's doing, uh, big new kickoff in Indiana, but careful, weird vibes there. Dillinger was shot there. Careful. Uh, we're gonna start Jacoby. We're gonna start Chief Steve fence, Jags defense and, uh, I guess, uh, Josh Jacobs is back. I guess so. Uh, I did it. One minute, F you, Big Cat. Call 1-800-GAMBLER. Oh, God.

• 1:52:00Speaker 00

  Let's see. That was the funnier one.

• 1:52:02Speaker 02

  That's really good.

• 1:52:02Speaker 00

  I also wanted on the record, Jerry, I was the only one not on the phone. Hank and PFT were both buried in their phone for that fantasy.

• 1:52:08Speaker 02

  I was, I was.

• 1:52:09Speaker 04

  I wasn't paying attention. You're right.

• 1:52:10Speaker 02

  I was looking up the, uh, fantasy group chat.

• 1:52:12Speaker 04

  I was waiting for you guys to laugh.

• 1:52:14Speaker 00

  I did.

• 1:52:16Speaker 04

  Which part?

• 1:52:17Speaker 03

  The poop lettuce was very.

• 1:52:19Speaker 00

  Poop lettuce. So funny.

• 1:52:21Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:52:21Speaker 00

  It's a very topical.

• 1:52:23Speaker 03

  It was also like, who would ever wear that? It's poop lettuce.

• 1:52:27Speaker 00

  It's poop lettuce, you know? Everyone remembers the poop lettuce.

• 1:52:33Speaker 03

  Hank, do you remember the poop lettuce?

• 1:52:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:52:36Speaker 03

  There you go.

• 1:52:36Speaker 00

  Okay. Jerry, I, good job, Jerry. Keep going, Jerry. You got this.

• 1:52:43Speaker 03

  I love Jerry.

• 1:52:43Speaker 00

  I love Jerry. Hank hates him. I love him.

• 1:52:46Speaker 04

  I love him.

• 1:52:46Speaker 00

  You don't.

• 1:52:47Speaker 04

  I do.

• 1:52:48Speaker 00

  I love him.

• 1:52:49Speaker 04

  Me too.

• 1:52:49Speaker 00

  By the way, we talked about it, uh, on Pick'em, which is obviously it's, uh, it's appropriate to bring it up again here, but DraftKings, you could, you could, you can bet in any state. There's prediction markets in California, Florida, so we are going to, PMT, we are going to do a stream at some point. A Sunday stream, full shoot, full Sunday stream at some point at, uh, Russillo's house in California. We gotta have Jerry come, right?

• 1:54:52Speaker 00

  TD parlay? I think we all did. Well, yeah. No, I hit, no, I didn't. None of us hit it. We, we went over three. We were garbage, garbage.

• 1:55:02Speaker 03

  You three can go.

• 1:55:03Speaker 00

  Ollie Gordon.

  Ooh. Uh, Remandre Stevenson.

  Hmm. Um, you want to go night game?

  You want to pick, you want to pick a Kami?

  Pick a Kami.

• 1:55:22Speaker 02

  We'll go with, uh, go with Diggs.

• 1:55:27Speaker 00

  Okay.

  Stephon.

  Let's go, boys. That's gonna be a juicy one.

• 1:55:34Speaker 00

  Um,

• 1:55:36Speaker 00

  let's do our picks and then we'll get to Robert Lewandowski, one of the best soccer players of all time. And we'll finish with Fire Fest where we'll be in costume. What do you got, Max? What is it?

• 1:55:47Speaker 03

  If you place $10, you will get $123.

• 1:55:53Speaker 00

  Whoa.

• 1:55:54Speaker 02

  Okay, love that.

• 1:55:55Speaker 00

  All right, picks time.

• 1:55:59Speaker 00

  Zach?

• 1:56:01Speaker 00

  Well, no, it's not your pick. You're three and 11.

• 1:56:05Speaker 02

  Yeah, sometimes guys get hot, guys get cold. This is a temperature check week. Here we go.

• 1:56:11Speaker 00

  So Max, uh, if we would go points, we get a point, you get a point for a win or half a point for a push. Max has nine. PFT has eight. Memes, myself and Hank have six. Zach has three. Zach, I just like roll out of bed and you lose. It's crazy.

• 1:56:29Speaker 02

  There's so much season left.

• 1:56:30Speaker 00

  And you're not even close.

• 1:56:31Speaker 02

  Get ready to roll back into bed. You have six.

• 1:56:33Speaker 03

  How'd you, how did you do last year though?

• 1:56:35Speaker 00

  I, I started very bad. I started very slow, but like I, like I'm saying, literally roll out of bed, you had the over in the Saints, uh, Steelers game.

• 1:56:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, timing wise, yeah.

• 1:56:45Speaker 00

  Oh, that's over.

• 1:56:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, all right.

• 1:56:46Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:56:47Speaker 02

  That's fair.

• 1:56:47Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:56:47Speaker 02

  I take back what I said about you rolling back into bed.

• 1:56:49Speaker 00

  No, yeah, ti- ti- timing wise. No, I haven't been good either, but.

• 1:56:52Speaker 03

  You also said he has six. He has double the amount as you.

• 1:56:54Speaker 00

  Yeah, I do. I've doubled the amount.

• 1:56:56Speaker 03

  You.

• 1:56:57Speaker 02

  I mean, that's a weighted, that was a weighted fraction you used pool.

• 1:57:00Speaker 00

  And I'm pretty sure I started, I, I'm almost positive I started 0-4. So I was.

• 1:57:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, guys, Evan flow, you're, you're, you're flowing. Guys get hot. I'm Evan, you're flowing.

• 1:57:12Speaker 00

  All right, who's up first?

• 1:57:13Speaker 02

  Max.

• 1:57:14Speaker 03

  Max is up first.

• 1:57:15Speaker 00

  Is there any AWLs who are just fading, Zach? Cause that would be smart.

• 1:57:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, I know one of them.

• 1:57:20Speaker 00

  Zach was 17, 23 and one. Who, Shane?

• 1:57:23Speaker 03

  Nope.

• 1:57:23Speaker 00

  Colton?

• 1:57:24Speaker 03

  Nope.

• 1:57:26Speaker 00

  Jacob?

• 1:57:26Speaker 03

  Nope.

• 1:57:27Speaker 00

  Memes?

• 1:57:30Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:57:32Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:57:34Speaker 02

  It sounds like a yes.

• 1:57:35Speaker 03

  You don't want to admit to it?

• 1:57:36Speaker 02

  I'm just, I'm reading Jerry's, uh, text right now.

• 1:57:38Speaker 00

  What did he say?

• 1:57:39Speaker 02

  He's spiraling.

• 1:57:40Speaker 03

  It was memes.

• 1:57:41Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:57:41Speaker 02

  Wait, what?

• 1:57:42Speaker 00

  What was he saying?

• 1:57:42Speaker 03

  Last Sunday night, you were like, oh, I'm, I'm taking the Seahawks because Zach has the Chiefs.

• 1:57:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's right.

• 1:57:47Speaker 03

  So.

• 1:57:48Speaker 00

  Look, that's a good strategy. You should continue to do that.

• 1:57:51Speaker 02

  Hank should have done the same thing.

• 1:57:54Speaker 03

  That wouldn't be a hungry dog. Um, I'm going to take, uh, Ravens Bills over 54 and a half.

• 1:58:00Speaker 00

  Ah.

• 1:58:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, that, that was one that I knew people were gonna want to take.

• 1:58:04Speaker 00

  Ah.

• 1:58:05Speaker 02

  I'm going to take the Browns in the Browns Steelers game, Browns plus three and a half.

• 1:58:12Speaker 02

  I'm going to take the Vikings and the Lions under 45 and a half.

• 1:58:17Speaker 00

  Ah, shoot.

• 1:58:24Speaker 00

  All right, I'll take a gross one. I'll take the, uh, Commander's Eagles over 40 and a half.

• 1:58:29Speaker 03

  Oof.

• 1:58:30Speaker 00

  I feel like both your defenses are worse than your offense.

• 1:58:33Speaker 02

  I actually, I, I bet on that the second to line.

• 1:58:35Speaker 00

  Yeah, the offenses are not great, but they're better.

• 1:58:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:58:39Speaker 03

  You're giving a little too much credit to the Eagles offense. They had one decent week last, last week.

• 1:58:45Speaker 02

  You're not, you're giving too much credit to the Commander's defense.

• 1:58:48Speaker 00

  I might be.

• 1:58:50Speaker 02

  No, Max is.

• 1:58:50Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:58:52Speaker 04

  Uh, I'll take a sucker pick over 40 and a half in Chiefs Broncos.

• 1:58:58Speaker 02

  Okay, memes?

• 1:58:59Speaker 04

  Feels way too low.

• 1:58:59Speaker 03

  Cardinals Cowboys over 54 and a half.

• 1:59:03Speaker 00

  Jacoby!

• 1:59:04Speaker 03

  And plus six and a half for the Chargers. This is the week.

• 1:59:09Speaker 04

  Uh, I'll take an easy one because I'm taking a money line. So Colts plus 10.

• 1:59:15Speaker 00

  I'll take the Broncos plus one and a half.

• 1:59:20Speaker 02

  Um, I'm going to take, I'm gonna take the Cardinals. Is it six and a half or seven?

• 1:59:29Speaker 03

  Seven.

• 1:59:29Speaker 02

  Seven, nice. Cardinals plus seven. I'm gonna take the under in the Cowboys Cardinals game at 54 and a half.

• 1:59:37Speaker 03

  Damn.

• 1:59:40Speaker 03

  I am stuck between two.

• 1:59:43Speaker 00

  Come on, Max.

• 1:59:43Speaker 03

  I'm gonna go with Lions minus three. Did anyone take that?

• 1:59:47Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:59:47Speaker 03

  Okay, Lions minus three.

• 1:59:50Speaker 00

• 2:02:07Speaker 00

  Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest. He is, uh, one of the greatest. Can I say you're one of the greatest soccer players of all time?

• 2:02:15Speaker 07

  You can say whatever you want.

• 2:02:16Speaker 00

  Okay, it's, it's Robert Lewandowski of the Chicago Fire, uh, former fame all over Europe. But I, I, I'm gonna say it. You're one of the best soccers. How many goals have you scored in your entire career?

• 2:02:29Speaker 00

  Do you, you don't have the number?

• 2:02:31Speaker 07

  I'm more than 700, but you know, it's, it's tough to say exactly. Probably if you Google them, you'll know better than me.

• 2:02:37Speaker 00

  Do you have a favorite goal? Like one goal that you think, when you close your eyes, when Robert Lewandowski puts his head on the, on the pillow at night, he's like, I, I think back to this goal.

• 2:02:47Speaker 07

  Directly when I heard the question, in my mind was like, because I scored five goals in nine minutes, the fifth goal, I think. That was like something special with the amazing volley. That I was like, not only because I scored five goals in nine minutes, but the last one's like special.

• 2:03:03Speaker 00

  Was special?

• 2:03:03Speaker 02

  I'm, I'm seeing over 750 senior career goals, uh, somewhere, anywhere between 716 minimum to over 750, depending on, on what games officially counted. That's a lot of goals.

• 2:03:15Speaker 00

  That's a lot of goals.

• 2:03:17Speaker 07

  And still counting, huh?

• 2:03:18Speaker 02

  And you said, you said five goals in nine minutes?

• 2:03:21Speaker 00

  Nine minutes.

• 2:03:21Speaker 02

  Yeah. Why didn't they just foul you on the line? After four goals, shouldn't somebody have just like taken you out and been like, we're not letting this guy score?

• 2:03:28Speaker 07

  I have to say, because in that game or during the game, when I, because I was on the bench, I was injured a little bit, so I couldn't play for the first minutes. But still, I was a little bit hung, angry that I, I didn't start from the first minutes. But okay, the, the coach, the Pep Guardiola decided. And we were losing 1-0 in the first half. So I came in, in, in second half, direct in 45 minutes.

• 2:03:50Speaker 07

  I was so focused just to score one goals and the second goal, because I want to win the game. Because that was a very important game for us, like in the league, uh, we were playing against the second in the league. That was very, you know. But that time I scored the first goal and, and I talked to myself, okay, we need one more. Then I scored the second one. I say, okay, if I score the next one, that will be, the game will be, it's gonna be easier. And I scored the third one and then I fourth and five. And I, I have to say that after the game, I didn't know what I already did. I was like, okay, we won the game. I scored the goals and that's fine. But no, everyone was like in L4, some ecstasy.

• 2:04:30Speaker 07

  But I didn't, I didn't know what, what's happened exactly because I was in different world. I was so focused. I was, I want to just score the goals. But the first time, that was on, I think, October, something like the game. But the first time that I was starting to thinking about what I achieved, that was the Christmas time. The first time that I was sitting with my family on the table and was a couple of days off, because normally we're playing all, every three days, you know, we don't have time to thinking about what's going on, what's happened, but the next game. And that was the first time in the Christmas that I was thinking, oh, fuck, yeah.

• 2:05:01Speaker 00

  You could say, you could say, you could say, oh, fuck.

• 2:05:02Speaker 07

  Oh, fuck. Oh, that is, that's something is special. That probably staying with me the whole life, my entire life, because nobody did this and probably nobody's gonna do it. Because if you're starting to think about this, it's impossible to, to break this record or do, or make this record.

• 2:05:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, it takes them long enough just to take the ball at the back of the net and get it back to midfield. Like that's, that's so tough to do.

• 2:05:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:05:23Speaker 02

  And then when you get your next game that you play, did you feel like a real loser because you didn't score five goals and like?

• 2:05:29Speaker 07

  But I scored three goals, I think.

• 2:05:31Speaker 00

  Oh, well, that's pretty good.

• 2:05:32Speaker 07

  I think, I think in this league, because we play every two days, I think in the next, in three, three games, I scored 12 goals. So that was like, not only before this game, but this game was five goals in nine minutes, but the next, the again, next game I scored two, the next three. And next game, maybe four games, 12 goals. And the next game also, uh, two goals. So I was like some different world. I was like in matrix that's just focused on my job, you know?

• 2:05:58Speaker 00

  Can I, can I give you a little critique on how you should answer this question going forward? If you want to be the greatest soccer player of all time, when I, when someone asks, what's your favorite goal? You gotta say the next one. Just let everyone know you're, you're not dumb.

• 2:06:10Speaker 07

  I, I did this so many times, so I tried to figure out something new now, you know, it's like, also, you know, I scored so many goals, but that was something that legendary, I think that not because of one goal, but because of the game and the minutes that happened.

• 2:06:24Speaker 00

  Well, I, I'm fascinated with especially European soccer, how, how skilled you guys are and how skilled you are at a young age. Was there a moment when you were growing up where you're like, oh yeah, I am different. And like, was it someone noticed you and it's like, oh, this guy is gonna be incredible? He's on the path because it, it like the soccer academies and how it all works, like it feels like they, they can find guys when they're like nine years old. It's like, yeah, this guy's about to be the best.

• 2:06:52Speaker 07

  Because I'm the football guy.

• 2:06:53Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:06:54Speaker 07

  This means soccer in US. But you have to stay humble because it's tough. It's, it's, that is, in this sport is, it's not important how good you are when you're at nine, 10, 12, 15, 16, you know? Because change a lot, not only physically, but technically, skills, performance, mentality, you know, that in, in soccer is everything is important, not only.

• 2:07:17Speaker 02

  How fast you run when you are young or how good with the feet you are with the ball when you are young. No, because you are growing, you are, you have to develop every skills, every performance, every year, every second, every single game. So in the end, the first time, even that, that you wanna ask me exactly when I want that the soccer is gonna be my future. That probably I know when I was eighteen, nineteen years old. So quite late, yeah, because before I wanted, that was my dream. But I wasn't sure that's gonna happen on this level that I wanna be, you know, the high level, staying on the big stadium, the big club. Um, starting to earn more money, but even that time I didn't think, think about this because you wanna just play, play soccer.

• 2:08:00Speaker 02

  Um, but you know, you, you, you have some players who start very early, but you have also some players who start.

• 2:08:07Speaker 00

  Late bloomers.

• 2:08:07Speaker 02

  Late, yeah, because it's not, in the soccer, it's not depends when you, how you start, but more important is how you finish.

• 2:08:14Speaker 00

  What, what, uh, you, what was, how old were you when you started playing professionally in Poland? You're a teenager, right?

• 2:08:21Speaker 02

  Yeah, the question what doesn't mean professional, but I think I was, um, if you compare generation now and my, that is was like nineteen years old. Eighteen, eighteen nineties, now the kids starting playing with the professional team, like the best team, the number, the number one, like sixteen, seventeen.

• 2:08:39Speaker 00

  Yeah, I mean, Yamal was, what, I mean, he was.

• 2:08:41Speaker 02

  I, I was trying with Phil Amien when he was fifteen, you know, that's for me, that was like, I could, I, I'm the two years older than his dad.

• 2:08:50Speaker 00

  Oh, my God.

• 2:08:50Speaker 02

  So can you imagine that I'm starting to play with some players who is like, he, he can be my son, you know, it's like, oh, that's going crazy. But he was, um, from the beginning, some different players, some special players. But in the end, I think that for him, that will be challenge to staying on the top for the long term. Because if you start earlier, it's more tough, more difficult to stay on the top, like if you are twenty eight, thirty or thirty two. Because it's like, especially now, they're starting earn money.

• 2:09:18Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:09:19Speaker 02

  Not like, we, we need, we have, we had to be more patient. Now it's like you score a couple of goals, okay, go, go up, give me money, pay for the transfer fee, you know? And it's much more easier, you know, before you have to achieve something that someone pay, not to you, but to the club to, to transfer you. So it's like, um, different time, but of course, it's like depends, um, of the, of the, of the players and of the club, what, uh, what they need.

• 2:09:44Speaker 00

  Yeah, did you have, was there somebody that, that helped you along when you were young, emerging as potentially a future superstar? That, that kinda showed you what that would work for them, what didn't work for them? Was there anybody that you were close with that helped you kinda navigate that transition?

• 2:10:00Speaker 02

  In my, my case was a little bit tough, difficult, because I lost my father when I was sixteen. Uh, and of course, my family, my father, my mom, that was my biggest supporter at that time. And they, um, they drive with me to the, to put me on the training, like one half hour one way, then a one half hour by car the, the way back, you know? And, and my dad never saw my professional game, you know, because he passed, um, away before I starting to play for the. For professional, professional, professional club. But even now I know and I see, I feel him that he watching on me on the first, you know, line in every stadium that I'm playing.

• 2:10:38Speaker 02

  So I feel that he's, he's still, um, looking on me from, from up and then for sure he's very, very proud from everything what I doing, what I achieved. But in the end, that time, especially that in my country, you know, I didn't have the any players before, like that I could looking forward, looking up. That, oh, he achieved some level, so I can follow him, not one to one everything, but some way. So in my case, I had to do myself everything, you know, to, to door, to open the door that even was close, you know? To crush the wall that was from, from me, from the people from my country, from, because nobody from my country achieved what I achieved.

• 2:11:17Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:11:17Speaker 02

  In entire, you know, history, so I was the first one probably. And it's, I think it's easier if you can follow someone, not do it the same, but you say, oh, he achieved, so I can, I can do this the same. It doesn't matter where I came from, it's more important when you wanna be. And in my case was like so many difficult moments that I could, um, I could fell down, you know? Like even that, when I lost my father, that was, I have two way. Um, to leave the, the soccer, to say, okay, it's too much, maybe I, I had to go to be more focused on my study. Uh, education, you know, and, and going that way, or like, no, don't do this.

• 2:11:56Speaker 02

  Keep, keep doing what you love, what you want to, to do and keep, um, keep, and maybe, ah, probably the second one also. Because I forgot, it was like the one club let me go when I, after my injury. So I, I, I didn't know what's going on. I, my contract was left, so I was asking that you wanna renew my contract, you wanna keep doing with me or not? I was sixteen or seventeen years old, that was like after one year after my, my father, um, passed away. So in, from one day to the second day, I got the information from the secretary of the club. That they don't wanna renew my contract.

• 2:12:36Speaker 00

  What idiots.

• 2:12:38Speaker 02

  Especially that was after injury, so it takes time to a little bit, I, I, I need more time to coming back on the right track. But the doctor that time say that I never come back on my level that I had before. So I don't know exactly who decided this in the end, because nobody tell me that in my eyes. But from the young guy who lost father like one years, um, uh, ago, and now it's like, oh, fuck, what's going on? I don't have club, I don't have contract, so I'm seventeen years old. So that was the second time alive that, um, that the life or the world wanna maybe check me.

• 2:13:12Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:13:12Speaker 02

  If I believe myself and I wanna show them that they doing mistake or like, guys, maybe you are right, no, but I choose the, the right.

• 2:13:21Speaker 00

  Do you remember that doctor? You should, you should be like, I mean, seven hundred fifty goals after that doctor was like, yeah, he's never gonna be good again.

• 2:13:27Speaker 02

  Maybe that was excuse for the club, I don't know exactly, you know, maybe.

• 2:13:30Speaker 00

  We should look up that doctor and be like, what's up, dude?

• 2:13:32Speaker 02

  Maybe they have so too much confidence on doctor, but you know, it's like, especially the young guy. That I, I remember when I choose the next club, I still, I was running like with my leg, because that's the muscle injury, that was it. So I couldn't run, you know, like I, I run like a little bit, hmm, like my leg was behind me.

• 2:13:49Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:13:49Speaker 02

  But even that, you know, the club that give me the chance, you know, they do, we believe in you, we believe that you coming back. You, you show us the best performance, you score for us a lot of goals and then you, you're gonna do the next step.

• 2:14:01Speaker 00

  You might not remember that guy, but I, I promise you, that guy probably thinks about you every day.

• 2:14:04Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 2:14:05Speaker 00

  He's like, I, I really fucked that one up.

• 2:14:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:14:07Speaker 00

  He probably got fired.

• 2:14:08Speaker 02

  You know, I, I am the guy that.

• 2:14:09Speaker 00

  You probably made him quit medicine.

• 2:14:10Speaker 02

  Too much about past, you know, it's like, okay, it's your problem, not mine in the end. It's, if you feel like that you doing mistake, okay, I, I'm doing myself, I'm show you that you, you was wrong. But in the end, it's my life, so I have to take care of my, my life, not thinking about that you're, or if, if you say something or you decide something. That for my life, my, my life changed, no, I have to be the person who take responsible for myself, you know?

• 2:14:38Speaker 00

  But F T's right, like if five goals in nine minutes, that must have been the worst day of his life.

• 2:14:42Speaker 02

  That guy, he probably quit medicine.

• 2:14:44Speaker 00

  He's like, he's watching that, just being like, oh, shit.

• 2:14:47Speaker 02

  That kinda felt mean, when you, when you scored five goals in nine minutes, that's very mean what you did to that doctor.

• 2:14:51Speaker 00

  Oh, you won a Champions League, that guy's watching it, he's definitely a soccer fan.

• 2:14:54Speaker 02

  He already knew that he screwed up, but then with the, the five goals, he's like, okay. Yeah, that was all, I think that the five goals was ten years after this, probably.

• 2:15:02Speaker 00

  Yeah, so he was like, maybe I was right, and then it's boom, there you pop up.

• 2:15:05Speaker 02

  It is, it's very impressive though that you, like you mentioned, you didn't have anybody that had done it before, so you had to make your own way. Did you always, did, what, what did you believe was possible? Did you set goals for yourself at a young age and, and you then would, would check them off? Like how, how big did, did you think that you were capable of getting when you were sixteen, seventeen years old?

• 2:15:28Speaker 02

  Hmm, I think there's so many things what I did, um, I didn't analyze too much, you know, I just, okay. My heart tell me a lot of things, my, you know, intuition that, okay, you can go, you can go in this way. Because someone tell me that, I did, I couldn't, I cannot explain you why I did this, why I choose this way, you know? Sometimes you have to listen your voice, you have to listen your hearts. And after I lost my fathers, I knew that, okay, so many, I have so many question without answers. So I tried to find this answer during my life, during my career life, you know? Um, and of course, that so many times I wanna speak with someone, you know, but not like.

• 2:16:08Speaker 02

  Son with mother, because it's like different connection, you know, always with son with the father, it's like something special. I don't wanna say which one is better, because both are amazing, even that I, I know that my, for my mind, for my mind also was the tough, um, tough moments. And that time.

• 2:16:23Speaker 07

  When we lost um my father in sixteen year olds, I have to take care, responsible for my family. Even probably they didn't want, they didn't expect this. But I stayed like the only one man in our family. So maybe it's like something um that I knew it, I didn't want, but I had to.

• 2:16:43Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:16:44Speaker 07

  So in the end, I tried to do my best. Of course, I did many mistakes for sure, but I trying to do my um my best. I trying so many things that to, that in the end, when I looking um myself in the mirror, I say, so long you trying, that you, it means that's a lot, you know. It's uh, and yeah, it's like in my entire career, I had so many, so many like tough moments that I had to jump on this and prove myself that I can do, I can achieve my goals. I can achieve what I was dreaming, you know, to win the titles, to win the Champions League, to score goals, to um, to win everything what is possible. Even that time, I didn't know that can happen.

• 2:17:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:17:29Speaker 07

  But I believed.

• 2:17:30Speaker 00

  Yeah. Can I ask you a couple dumb questions?

• 2:17:32Speaker 07

  Oh, it's not, I don't think that you have dumb question.

• 2:17:34Speaker 00

  Oh buddy, they're gonna be just some dumb questions. Uh, can your wife kick your ass?

• 2:17:41Speaker 07

  If she wanted, probably, yeah.

• 2:17:43Speaker 00

  She's a three-time karate champion?

• 2:17:45Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 2:17:46Speaker 00

  That's badass. So she ever like, like if you're like, don't do the dishes, she's just like, hiya, like get ready.

• 2:17:51Speaker 07

  Yeah, she, she is like, yeah, she can um, she, she had this in that, you see, some, some situation that she was ready to, you know, to kick. Maybe not me, but you know, that situation.

• 2:18:02Speaker 00

  That's super impressive. Yeah.

• 2:18:04Speaker 07

  You know, I, I know this um, this sport because my father was also judo.

• 2:18:08Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:18:09Speaker 07

  So we trained a lot of, um, a lot of times at home, but he didn't want that I'm going that way because he knew that, how tough is it?

• 2:18:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:18:15Speaker 07

  You know, it's like, you have to spend so many hours, like he use weight in the end, before the tournament, before some championship. And um, it's not um, he decide that I should to go to the, to soccer because I love the sport from the beginning when I was young. And even that, I met my, my that time, the girlfriend, my wife, and we starting to spoke about um judo, karate. And you know, I saw it that in her eyes, that she has this something special, that she know what does it mean to be the athletes, you know? She know what does it mean to win the titles.

• 2:18:48Speaker 00

  The three-time world champion.

• 2:18:49Speaker 07

  Yeah, it's like an Europe champion as well. It's like unbelievable, yeah. And if, I, I saw her first time, I saw that she trained ballet or tennis.

• 2:18:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:18:58Speaker 07

  Because she was very skinny, you know, blonde hair at that time. And I was, how is possible that she, that this kind of girl can be like, karate girl, you know?

• 2:19:07Speaker 00

  Kick your ass, yeah.

• 2:19:08Speaker 07

  She can kick your ass?

• 2:19:09Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:19:10Speaker 07

  But in the end, I, I saw couple of tournament and you know, it's like, oh, I saw that in, in her eyes, that she, she, she love this. And in the end, she has to decide, you know, to, to, to way, uh, to do this different way, not anymore karate. Because she know that also she has to more focus of, of family, of us, and she support me a lot. And she helped me a lot also in my, my career to, to achieve this level what I achieved.

• 2:19:32Speaker 00

  Okay, all right. Next dumb question. What's it like being a god in Poland?

• 2:19:37Speaker 07

  Oh, I, I don't feel like a god.

• 2:19:39Speaker 00

  No, but come on, you're a god in Poland.

• 2:19:41Speaker 07

  But I, I'm, I'm very grateful, you know, because.

• 2:19:44Speaker 00

  Can you walk down the street?

• 2:19:47Speaker 07

  We should know, it's in Europe, the soccer for the people is different, you know, it's like, um, it's for some people's religion, you know?

• 2:19:55Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:19:55Speaker 07

  Not like for, in Poland, but even if you're talking about the soccer in Spain, in Italy, on South America, you know? They love soccer, you know, it's like um, the culture, especially that when we lived in uh, in Barcelona, that the fans are amazing, they love soccer, they, they support a lot, you know? It's like, of course, if you walk on the street that so many people coming, asking about the pictures, autographs, it's like something normal. Even here in Chicago, you have a lot of, also the people, not only from Poland, but like from South America, you know? It's like, you feel that they, they know a lot about soccer.

• 2:20:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:20:33Speaker 07

  Um, of course, in Chicago, you have so many different sports. You, I think you have six, yeah, different teams in Chicago. So you, you can enjoy many different sports, so many athletes. So for the people, some daily work to see someone on the street, probably that, okay, you play baseball, okay, you play football? Soccer is like something normal.

• 2:20:51Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:20:51Speaker 07

  And I enjoy a lot, I have to say.

• 2:20:53Speaker 00

  It's gotta be nice to be a little bit more anonymous.

• 2:20:56Speaker 07

  Yeah, that's true, that's true. That is, but I expect that even more than this. But I'm, but I, I have to say that the life here is really, really special.

• 2:21:04Speaker 00

  All right, that was a very humble answer for being a god in the entire country. Cause you're the, I mean, you're the best ever in your country's history. That's pretty awesome.

• 2:21:12Speaker 07

  Yeah, but in the end, I'm like, what I achieve as a, as athletes is different.

• 2:21:16Speaker 00

  Yeah, so you're humble, you're humble.

• 2:21:18Speaker 07

  You know, you have to be.

• 2:21:19Speaker 00

  I would have answered it different. I would have been like, yeah, it's fucking awesome being a god.

• 2:21:22Speaker 07

  I don't have build my, you know, ego to be like, even I know that I have the big ego, if you are talking about the soccer and everything, what is going on the field.

• 2:21:30Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:21:30Speaker 07

  But off the field, you have to stay, you know, it's like, we are all the same in, in the end.

• 2:21:35Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:21:35Speaker 07

  Even that, okay, of course, I achieved some goals that probably from many millions is like the dream.

• 2:21:41Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:21:41Speaker 07

  But I achieved my dreams also, because that was my dreams as well.

• 2:21:45Speaker 00

  Yeah, you should kind of feed the ego a little bit. Like every now and again, maybe go into a nice Polish restaurant here in Chicago. A lot of Polish people and just walk in and just, just stand there.

• 2:21:53Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 2:21:54Speaker 00

  And then when they're like, oh my god, can I get picture? Like, yeah, sure.

• 2:21:56Speaker 07

  Yeah, but I don't need to have more, you know, here to growing up, to, to, to feel that I am a special one. It's like, I feel so confidence myself that I don't need extra, you know, some situation that confirm, eh, yeah, I am really here.

• 2:22:13Speaker 00

  You're the man.

• 2:22:14Speaker 07

  I'm the man, even that I know I'm the man, so what? This is the, this is the difference. Nobody can change my mind, you know? Even that, talking about the bad way or the good way, you know, I'm, I know my value and this is the most important thing for me.

• 2:22:27Speaker 00

  Yeah, you actually, you actually did answer that perfectly because if you're the man to be like, I know I'm the man, but I don't have to flex on everyone. That's the true sign of the man.

• 2:22:35Speaker 07

  Yeah. Of course, it's nice to hear so many, you know, good words about me. But in the end, I'm coming back to home and I wanna feel natural, you know? It's like not that someone, the difference between the, of the, of the pitch and off the pitch, you have to be different. You cannot be the same person on the pitch than at home for your family, because that gonna be crazy.

• 2:22:56Speaker 00

  Yeah, I, I have a dumb soccer question for you. Um, you're a pretty good penalty taker, right? Were you better for the national team or for your club teams?

• 2:23:06Speaker 07

  As a penalty taker or as a soccer player?

• 2:23:08Speaker 00

  As a penalty taker.

• 2:23:11Speaker 07

  Oh, probably the club I score more penalty, you know? So probably I had more opportunity to miss some penalty, but in the national team, you have less games. So in the end, probably I score less penalty as well.

• 2:23:22Speaker 00

  What, what's the uh, what is the, the secret to being a good penalty taker? Because we saw in this most recent World Cup, the pressure just makes some people crumble. And you can see it in their eyes, like they say, I don't wanna, I don't wanna go, don't pick me.

• 2:23:35Speaker 07

  Yeah, it's all, every club, you have like ninety percent of the players that they afraid to score penalty. Because it's not for everyone, you know, you have to show your balls in the end, you know? If you go to take the penalty and you not only on the stadium, watching on you like seventy thousand, eighty thousand, on Camp Nou in Barcelona, it's ninety thousand, you know, ninety five thousand, the new stadium is gonna be one hundred fifty thousand. So you, you take the ball and you are, you and your, and goalkeeper, and everyone watch on you. And television, couple of millions, you know, expectation that everyone believe in you, that you have to take responsibility. In the end, it's not about your skills, you know, it's about what you had, what you had in, what you have in the, in the head right now.

• 2:24:18Speaker 07

  So mentality things is like in this moment, probably the most important thing to take everything out of your head. Even you, probably you missed couple of chance before the penalty, yeah? And your self-confidence going a little bit during the game going a little bit down. But the penalty came, yeah, I have to be ready. You have a couple of seconds to prepare your mentality, to prepare your head. And to know it, what you, what you wanna do, that you have to in the end to score the penalty. But it's like, you're fighting with, not with your opponent, you're fighting for yourself, everything what you have inside your head. And it's like you have in couple minutes, uh, seconds, sorry, not minutes. If you have minutes, that would be great. Couple of seconds, you have to be calm, you have to be very focused.

• 2:25:02Speaker 07

  And you, for you has to be like slow motion, because if you have this movement, if you run, if you kick, how you kick, what kind of power you put on the ball, which side, um, which side you choose, you know? And you also you fight, if your opponent is only goalkeeper, if he choose the same side that you scored, that you wanna score, that you wanna put the ball, it's like, it's a little bit game also between the goalkeeper and the, and the kicker. But in the end, um, yeah, it's like so many different point of view of, if you're looking, if you, if you are, if you are talking about the penalty, that in one seconds, couple of seconds, you have to take in, in right place, in right moment. So in the end, it's not easy, but of course, it's not for everyone for sure.

• 2:25:44Speaker 07

  Because even that we in the club, in the national team, you have spoke, how many players want to take the penalty? You have, you don't have so many, because it's like not, it's not everyone to be like in this moment, front of, uh, from rest of all.

• 2:25:56Speaker 00

  Yeah, was there one, was there one goalkeeper that had a lot of success against you in penalties?

• 2:26:01Speaker 07

  No, no, I don't have one. It's happened that I missed penalty, but because I did something wrong, you know? I, I don't know that I scores amazing and the, and the goalkeeper take this ball, keep it the ball, you know? I probably that I miss, I didn't score exactly close to the post, you know, something or, or maybe too, too less power. But in the end, uh, if I miss, always in this competition, the winner is only goalkeeper, because the kicker has to score.

• 2:26:31Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:26:32Speaker 07

  And if you doesn't score, then, then it's meaning then goalkeeper is winning. If you score, for goalkeeper, nothing happen.

• 2:26:38Speaker 00

  Yeah, everyone expects it. You're supposed to score, yeah. Yeah. Um, what, what, so your transition to the MLS and the fire, and the fire are gearing up for the playoffs, which we're excited about. So like when you get over here, was there anything that shocked you about the game? Because I, I love, like you're, you're so accomplished and you were so good in Europe. It's, you come here, MLS has come a long way, but was there a part of you that's like, I still can be better than everyone? Because I can think the game better and I have this skill that maybe they're not up to my par? What, what has that transition been like?

• 2:27:12Speaker 07

  You know, on the, on the beginning, I was, uh, still, I am very excited because I expected exactly in this moment of my life, something different, you know? So I didn't compare the Europe and MLS one to one, because uh, of course, you have salary cup. But for me was to not only enjoy the life, but enjoy playing soccer in this team. I know it on the beginning can happen that the team needs, needs a little bit more time. This is like the process, yeah? And of course, that um, maybe takes time that. The team need more time to use my performance, the skills that I'm the best one in the, in the area finishing, you know, to, to, to bring my, to me the ball that I can finish, that I can score the goal in different position.

• 2:27:54Speaker 07

  But also I knew that I have to take care of the different things, um, uh, not only when we play the, the game, because I have experience, I have knowledge.

• 2:28:02Speaker 02

  Right.

• 2:28:03Speaker 07

  Uh, not only about how to score the goal, but how, um, works that, um, in the club, in the team, tactically things, you know, so many different things that if I can, I can help and I give my advice. I can give, um, the people in, in the Chicago Fire also my, my knowledge about what I saw, what I know, experience as well. But in the end, of course, now we're gonna play in the playoffs. I know that is the moment that I have to be ready. The team has, has to be ready to, to use my best performance, even that the couple of games, I didn't score the goals, but we wanted, okay, I, I don't expect it that in the regular season, that I'm, I'm gonna score many goals. It's like, of course, that will be amazing, but you have to be patient in the end, you know?

• 2:28:46Speaker 07

  It's like soccer is the process and especially now that, um, I'm, um, I'm like, I'm feeling really well in the Chicago. I love, um, the Chicago as a city, you know, and now it's like, um, to, to, to use, how the club, the team can use me, the best option, the best performance that I can give back to the team. And I think when the playoffs start, that also, that will be the difference level. It's not only the soccer, but in the football, in the NBA, everyone. And I think that, um, we're gonna be ready of this and playoffs starting to be for the real men, you know?

• 2:29:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:29:21Speaker 07

  And I hope that.

• 2:29:22Speaker 02

  You're gonna start being the man.

• 2:29:23Speaker 07

  Yeah, you have to be on the man. Yeah. So it's like, um, in the end that you see the difference between the teams, where they are ready to achieve something or not yet.

• 2:29:33Speaker 02

  Is there anything about American culture that you've really enjoyed or something unexpected that, that you weren't ready for and you're over here now and you're like, wow, this is actually really amazing?

• 2:29:42Speaker 07

  Uh, in Chicago, I, the first, the first thing, there are people, the people that are very kind, helpful. You know, it's like for me, that was even that in Barcelona, the people about the, um, the people from Spain, the talkie, they are very open, very warm. But here in Chicago, the people that they wanna help me direct, you know, with the smile on the face, you need this, what do you need? You need some contact, you need some help. It's, that was no problem. Everyone want help me with different way, you know, it depends. So that is the first things. Also this Chicago is a city, you know, it's like, I was surprised. So good city Chicago is and so many opportunity you have during the summer time, even the weather,

• 2:30:22Speaker 07

  temperature that, you know, it's like you have like Michigan, you can, uh, I love the, the area in Chicago West Loop, the River North is like you enjoy the life and my kids also are very, very happy, um, in the school. So I think this is the more, even the most important, the kids are happy. That is the, the first step to, for the adaptation. But, uh, of course, the winter time is still in front of us.

• 2:30:44Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:30:44Speaker 07

  Yeah, but I'm from Poland, so I, I, I don't forget how it's a little bit colder in the winter time.

• 2:30:50Speaker 02

  You moved at the right time, let's say that. You moved in the spring, right?

• 2:30:53Speaker 07

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I'm three months in Chicago, you know, until now the weather is really nice. I'm really surprised in positive way. Uh, and you know, it's, you have so many restaurant, you know? I, I couldn't see, not, not yet everything, you know? Still I have time to visit a couple of places, but also the different sports.

• 2:31:12Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:31:12Speaker 07

  I enjoy to watch the baseball, um, the Blackhawks. Still that my dream, oh, because when I was young, I woke up at four o'clock AM to watch the Chicago Bulls, you know, that time the Scottie, the Scottie Pippen, then of course Michael Jordan, because it was at night in Europe.

• 2:31:30Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:31:30Speaker 07

  And you know, I never been on the NBA games and I hope that I can soon go in for them one NBA game and see how looks that in life, you know, to, to, to see the, the players, how they playing. And that is my dream. And also the different, when I was in baseball that, um, and I have to, you know, to go into pitch, you know, you know, to, to make the, make the first through. And that was, I was a little bit stressful.

• 2:31:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:31:55Speaker 07

  When I, when I was, um, staying front and I was, how far is it? I was thinking, oh, fuck, it's far. I cannot miss, you know, and I never did this. I never, and that was like in a couple of second, I have to go, go, going down, you know? And okay, do easy, but not too easy because I didn't want that looks like, oh.

• 2:32:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:32:17Speaker 07

  I put the ball just.

• 2:32:18Speaker 02

  Stressful.

• 2:32:19Speaker 07

  You know, it's a little bit stressful. But in the end, that was amazing experience to watch the, the baseball game in the life. And when I see that the people enjoy a lot, not only like the game, but like before the game and during the game, because takes time sometimes, the baseball takes two and a half hours or even longer. That I'm, came to the stadium like six thirty and I, the, the game was finished at eleven, you know, it's like, whoa.

• 2:32:39Speaker 02

  It's not like soccer.

• 2:32:40Speaker 07

  But the people like, you know, to, to spend the time to watching the different sports.

• 2:32:44Speaker 02

  Uh, are you Ronaldo or Messi?

• 2:32:47Speaker 07

  You know, it's like, I.

• 2:32:49Speaker 02

  You gotta answer. You could say Lewandowski.

• 2:32:52Speaker 07

  I say, I say always Lewandowski, but for me, I, for me, I, that was competition.

• 2:33:01Speaker 02

  Yeah, right. It's different. It's hard for me to ask you that.

• 2:33:03Speaker 07

  I don't, I, I know that I, I know, I don't wanna compare myself with Leo Messi and Cristiano that I was on the same level. But you know, I, I was the best player in the world in two times, two years in the row. At the time that Cristiano and Messi, and I won against Leo Messi, of course, he won against me a couple of times. I won against him as well. I tried to, to be close as impossible, as possible is, you know, to them. You know, both to not only score the goals, but to play. Of course it's hard because they're legend. They're like the best players in the world, uh, uh, since years and this competition between them. That was like the last fifteen years. That was amazing. And I was a couple of times I was there, you know?

• 2:33:41Speaker 02

  Maybe we gotta beat Lewandowski.

• 2:33:42Speaker 07

  Even I wanna beat them a couple of times, you know, and it's like, and this is for me the proud. Uh, that I never imagined, I never imagined that I could beat them and, or win something or win the titles to be like on the, on the top three, like the best football players in the world. And I was on the first, you know, places, uh, not only one, but the, the two times in the row. So it means that, um, I did something special and I have to be proud of myself.

• 2:34:09Speaker 02

  All right. That's a good answer. Cause yeah, that's a tough one. Um, do you have, is the biggest what if of your career? When you almost played in Europe and then the volcano, I, Ija Fakaloko?

• 2:34:19Speaker 07

  Yeah, but it's like, I think that is more story, but I, that, uh, um, that was the plan to travel to England to see.

• 2:34:26Speaker 02

  In twenty ten, yeah.

• 2:34:27Speaker 07

  To see the club, to see the stadium. But to be honest, I didn't want to go there.

• 2:34:32Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 2:34:33Speaker 07

  That was, I was young, so I was, I was very open guy to see how looks like the professional club in different, um, country, how looks the stadium, how looks the training facility, you know? So for me, this kind of experience was nice to visit the place, but I knew that I'm not gonna, I, I'm not gonna there. Only one time that I say yes to the Premier League club was two thousand twelve. That Sir Alex Ferguson called to me and no, no, his accent, he's from, he's not from England. He's from, uh, I think Ireland or Scottish, Scot. So you know, the accent is like tough to understand him, you know?

• 2:35:12Speaker 07

  And I was very young. I didn't speak well in English that time. So he called to me and he's starting to talk, um, to me. I understood, stood couple of words only, you know, and say, I want you. Yeah, I understand. And then I, the, our, um, the, our conversation later was like, I say, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah. I didn't even know what he told to me, but I was, you know, so excited because this is like legendary coach in the soccer. He achieved so many titles. He achieved, that was the first coach in, in the soccer that he won everything. And he was like so many years in Manchester United. So that time I say yes, and that was, I think only the first and the last one that I say yes to the Premier League club. But the, that one, the, my club that I was playing for, they say,

• 2:35:57Speaker 07

  we never, we cannot sell you because even that we sell you for, I don't know, thirty, forty millions that time. We cannot replace your place. Nobody on the market, you cannot, it, it doesn't matter how much we can spend for one place. We cannot replace you. So we prefer that to stay because you earn much more money for us than we're gonna sell you now.

• 2:36:16Speaker 02

  Yeah. It's, it's interesting in, in high level European soccer because you do have so many different languages being spoken on the field at the same time. Would, would you guys, depending on what team you're on, default to one language as what you would typically speak? And would you change that depending on who your opponent was? And it's like, hey, I know that they, they don't have anybody on their team that like, I don't know, speaks Italian or whatever. So let's move over to that. Like, how, how did that work out?

• 2:36:41Speaker 07

  Yeah, sometimes we use this because you know, if you play in Europe, you have, of course, if I played, um, twelve years in Germany. So I had to speak in German language, yeah, with the players. But sometimes they join new players that doesn't speak German. So we have to find how to speak with him, English, Spanish, you know? And it's like, sometimes also with the players in, especially in Bayern, I think in Bayern Munich, we're starting to speak Polish, but very easy, like one, two, three, four, because we know it that nobody understand the Polish. So I'll teach them how to speak in Polish, couple of words, you know, to, if, especially in the set pieces, uh, that we didn't want to say, you go to first post, I'm go second post. So we say, we try, I learn and go like in Polish, pierwszy, drugi, means first, the second one, you know?

• 2:37:26Speaker 07

  So we change the language to, to, to, because we know that nobody in the opponent's team speak Polish, understand what we're gonna do. But even in Spain, I, I had, I had to learn Spanish as well because I know that nobody there, maybe couple of players speaks, um, they speak, um, English. Two players speak German. But in the end, so many places doesn't speak any, any different language than Spanish. So I had to, I knew that I had to learn also the Spanish language. So I took the teacher, the, the first three months, I started to teach with my, um, um, I, I started to learn with my teacher. And after three months, I started to, okay, I know how basically speak in the Spanish. So I'm starting to learn myself during the travel to, in the plane when I was, was at home,

• 2:38:11Speaker 07

  evening before sleep. So at the couple of months, a couple of months, I could speak the Spanish. And if you speak English, if you're Spanish, you have already half a word that you can speak. Oh, do make the conversation in this two language. Because of course, the main language on the world is English, but the second one probably is the Spanish. And for me, that was much more easier, you know, even now, I have so many friends in different countries. I can speak many languages. So it's easier to communicate it with many, many people and understood also the culture. For me also, when I, when I decide to, to go somewhere first to Germany, then to Spanish, now to, um, to Spain, now to US, for me, it's always to understand the culture, to know how, uh,

• 2:38:52Speaker 07

  I'm not the guy to, for me, it doesn't matter. No, I'm, I'm, I'm care of this because I want to feel better in this country. I want to feel that I'm the right place, that I feel like at home, you know? So also in, in Chicago, I am open for, for many things because I want to feel at home. And so long I'm now, I have to say that every week, every day, I'm feeling much more confidence. I feel almost like at home, even that I don't know how long I can stay here in Chicago. But for me, the rest of the life, that will be also my city because I'm living now.

• 2:39:20Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:39:21Speaker 07

  When I started thinking about Chicago and hey, this is my city as well.

• 2:39:25Speaker 00

  I love that. Uh, all right. So I have one last question. This has been awesome. We're excited for the playoffs. You're gonna, you're gonna be the man in the playoffs. You just gotta be the man.

What is the toughest stadium to play in the world?

• 2:39:47Speaker 00

  Cause some of these soccer crowds are just insane.

• 2:39:50Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 2:39:52Speaker 07

  Um, toughest. So, so I have to play.

• 2:39:57Speaker 00

  You know, an away game. Yeah, yeah.

• 2:40:00Speaker 07

  Um, I have three, first of all, I say three, the best stadium for me. So it's Camp Nou.

• 2:40:12Speaker 07

  Um,

• 2:40:16Speaker 07

  also national stadium in Warsaw, because it's amazing.

• 2:40:19Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 2:40:20Speaker 07

  Um, maybe I say four.

• 2:40:23Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:40:23Speaker 07

  Allianz Arena.

• 2:40:24Speaker 00

  Where's that?

• 2:40:25Speaker 07

  Bayern Munich.

• 2:40:26Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:40:27Speaker 07

  And Santiago Bernabeu is, is which is Real Madrid.

• 2:40:31Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:40:31Speaker 02

  I was, I was just.

• 2:40:32Speaker 07

  But then I was playing as opponent. So you know?

• 2:40:34Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:40:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:40:35Speaker 00

  That's an unreal stadium. It's incredible.

• 2:40:37Speaker 07

  But for me, like, um, the Camp Nou, when I, because that was, when I came in through the stadium Camp Nou, as a, but not only like a Bayern Munich player, because I was playing in the Camp Nou already before, but as a Barcelona player. And I saw that 95,000 people sitting and they watching us. And I feel that so many legend or like legendary stadium and everything what's happened in this stadium. I feel this, you know, that was like, I feel in the air that's still is there, there. And when I scored first goal there, it's like, was for me something, wow, the feeling that I thought that I'm different world. I'm some, somewhere, somewhere that I shouldn't be, but I'm enjoying a lot.

• 2:41:22Speaker 07

  And it's like, you know, you feel your name in the end, that's 95 fans is like speaking or like, you know, um, after the goals, it's like you feel your body is going through something special energy and that. For me, if I scored a goal, that give me more power.

• 2:41:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:41:40Speaker 07

  Power to run, more power to, okay, next one, next one. Every goal give me more power, you know, it's like for me, like the goals, like the foot. If I scored the one, I have, I want second one. If I scored the second one, I want the third one. Not many places, if they scored the goal, it's like, I've scored the goal is enough. Okay. I'm like the winner of it. But for me, it was always something, no, if I score one, okay, I want more.

• 2:42:01Speaker 00

  I want five in nine minutes.

• 2:42:02Speaker 02

  You're addicted.

• 2:42:02Speaker 07

  I didn't, I didn't plan this, you know? You cannot plan this, you know, it's impossible, you know?

• 2:42:07Speaker 00

  Oh, one last, last question. Uh, when you're living in Germany, what's the fastest you ever went on the autobahn?

• 2:42:15Speaker 07

  Um.

• 2:42:16Speaker 00

  No speed limit, right?

• 2:42:17Speaker 02

  You had a really.

• 2:42:18Speaker 07

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 2:42:19Speaker 00

  You had a really answer.

• 2:42:20Speaker 02

  Answer honestly.

• 2:42:21Speaker 07

  No, no, I can answer.

• 2:42:22Speaker 02

  You just stopped yourself. You had an answer you're about to give.

• 2:42:24Speaker 07

  It's allowed.

• 2:42:25Speaker 00

  Yes, it's allowed. It's allowed. Is it no judgment at all?

• 2:42:28Speaker 07

  Even many highways are, you know, it's like, uh, under construction always. So you cannot drive. But when I bought my first Ferrari.

• 2:42:35Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:42:36Speaker 02

  First Ferrari, such a cool thing.

• 2:42:37Speaker 07

  F12 Berlinetta, you know?

• 2:42:39Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:42:40Speaker 07

  On a test, you know, how fast I can drive.

• 2:42:44Speaker 07

  And I, um, I remember that was, I cannot say mine because I don't know.

• 2:42:50Speaker 00

  I have it. I hold it. I pull it up. The converter. Yeah.

• 2:42:53Speaker 07

  I think that was almost 300 kilometers per hour. So 292, I think.

• 2:42:58Speaker 00

  300 kilometers an hour?

• 2:43:00Speaker 07

  292 kilometers per hour.

• 2:43:01Speaker 00

  292, that is 180 miles an hour.

• 2:43:05Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 2:43:06Speaker 02

  It's pretty good.

• 2:43:07Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 2:43:08Speaker 00

  That's awesome. That's like scoring a goal in front of 95,000 people.

• 2:43:11Speaker 07

  But the highway was empty and was so big. And but in the end.

• 2:43:15Speaker 00

  You're allowed to.

• 2:43:15Speaker 07

  The way was so, you know, that was my time that I keep it, you know, there. Yeah.

• 2:43:20Speaker 00

  Holy shit, 180. I'm happy I asked that.

• 2:43:22Speaker 02

  I, I, I do have one last, last, last question, uh, because you're, you are a fellow brothhead. You like soup. You're a big soup guy. Um, when do you eat soup?

• 2:43:33Speaker 07

  No, I, you know, I'm not the huge fan of soup, but you know, the culture of Poland that we have, like, um, uh, how chicken soup is means like rossow. It's like very popular soup in Poland, but, um, probably I'm, I know why you're asking me about this, that, about the next question.

• 2:43:52Speaker 02

  Well, the, I, cause I do that too.

• 2:43:54Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 2:43:54Speaker 02

  He eats soup at the end of his meals.

• 2:43:56Speaker 00

  Oh, no.

• 2:43:56Speaker 07

  No, that was, that is incorrect. No, that is like.

• 2:43:59Speaker 02

  Fake news?

• 2:43:59Speaker 07

  No, because I explained different way, because I explained that when I, because they're probably the, the, um, about the dessert, you know, it's like, um, if you want to eat dessert, I never eat like direct after the lunch, you know? Because the, I try to eat first like carb, then protein. And then if I want to eat the dessert, I prefer to eat dessert like one hour before the, the lunch, for example, or before the meal.

• 2:44:22Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:44:22Speaker 07

  Because you have the, it takes time and this is like the sugar, you know, it's like, it's not the best way to finish your day, um, day, like evening with the sugar, you know, before you go into the sleep to the bed. So I explained, so I explained, so I explained that I prefer to eat the first dessert, you know, like waiting one hour, half an hour before I starting to eat lunch. And I didn't spoke about the soup, but probably there's some journalists, you know, use this, that maybe that is the opposite side. So dessert, then I don't know, protein, carb and soup. That is not correct. It's like, I mean, I was, I was speaking about the dessert. So.

• 2:44:57Speaker 00

  So you dessert before your meal or first?

• 2:44:59Speaker 07

  Yes, because it's like, and then I try to carb and then finish with the protein, you know? Because it's like the, the carb needs, um, the, the protein takes time for the, you know, if your belly, you know, takes time. That's why in the end is for the recovery. But I, I, I say that dessert, I don't like to eat after the, my dinner, for example, in the end of the day. Because in the end, if you finish your, if sugar, even that you don't put the sugar, but still you have like, like, or like the fruits also, they have like natural sugar, but still it's not good for the body. Of course, that was couple of years ago. So it's like, now you say something and three, four years, some professors say, I found it, you know? That is, that, that way is better, that way. And I'm changed also. My, my, my, my debt is not that I did something 10 years ago, I doing still the same.

• 2:45:45Speaker 07

  Because it's developed a lot, you know, you see that in this case, something what you did three years ago doesn't exist anymore. So you have to, you have to be also flexible. But that time I explained this way, even that still I'm trying to, if I want to eat dessert, I prefer to eat during the day, not, uh, the, and in the end of the day.

• 2:46:02Speaker 02

  I think it's just good mentality. Life's short, eat dessert first.

• 2:46:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:46:05Speaker 02

  You never know what's going to happen.

• 2:46:06Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:46:06Speaker 02

  Yeah.

  It's an unbelievable costume.

• 2:48:36Speaker 03

  And he also went pantsless. I wanted to see if that was true to character. It's not. That was a, that was a creative choice.

• 2:48:46Speaker 00

  Is that a skirt you got there, Mitch?

• 2:48:49Speaker 03

  I I thought he went pantsless in the. No, it's cra- I like the creative choice.

  Yeah. Well, PFT is kind of funny.

• 2:49:07Speaker 00

  I mean, that's low effort, though. It was here.

• 2:49:09Speaker 03

  I like yours. Yeah, but it's creative.

• 2:49:12Speaker 00

  PFT, what are you?

• 2:49:13Speaker 02

  I am a, I'm Madison Beer.

• 2:49:15Speaker 00

  Oh, okay. Got it. I didn't see the beer costume.

• 2:49:18Speaker 02

  The beer, yeah, it's a little combination.

• 2:49:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:49:20Speaker 02

  It's a little combination of the costume.

• 2:49:22Speaker 00

  Combination.

• 2:49:23Speaker 03

  Combination.

• 2:49:24Speaker 00

  Combination. I stole Justin Herbert's powers. Zero, zero point zero from Zach.

• 2:49:32Speaker 04

  I'm trying to keep it twisted.

• 2:49:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:49:33Speaker 03

  But we love our sponsors.

• 2:49:34Speaker 00

  We love our sponsors.

• 2:49:35Speaker 03

  We love our sponsors.

• 2:49:37Speaker 00

  Zach, you have costumes.

• 2:49:38Speaker 04

  I was inside. I fucked up. Yeah, I was inside. That's on me.

• 2:49:41Speaker 00

  All right, Max, where are you?

• 2:49:42Speaker 03

  You're always inside. Um, I am a medieval pawn for, and yeah, low effort. I went to medieval times a couple of weeks ago with my same costume.

• 2:49:50Speaker 00

  By the way, I'm low effort too. I'm, I'm the Flash. I've never seen the Flash. The Flash is what, like the seventh best guy?

• 2:49:56Speaker 04

  Flash was my favorite.

• 2:49:57Speaker 00

  He's fast.

• 2:49:57Speaker 04

  As a kid.

• 2:49:58Speaker 00

  You gotta watch the Flash show. It's so good.

• 2:50:00Speaker 04

  Yeah, it is.

• 2:50:00Speaker 00

  But where does he rank on the?

• 2:50:03Speaker 04

  He's up there in the Justice League.

• 2:50:05Speaker 02

  So he's in like Superman squad, right?

• 2:50:07Speaker 04

  Justice League, yeah.

• 2:50:08Speaker 00

  He's with Spider-Man and shit?

• 2:50:09Speaker 04

  Nope, that's, that's Avengers. You, you, you know this stuff.

• 2:50:13Speaker 00

  I actually have never seen the Flash. I don't know what the, is the Flash a movie?

• 2:50:17Speaker 04

  You didn't watch Justice League?

• 2:50:18Speaker 00

  No.

• 2:50:19Speaker 04

  They did make Flash movies. I can't say I've seen them. I think, I think the actor is like a, a bad guy.

• 2:50:24Speaker 00

  Where's the Flash rank?

• 2:50:25Speaker 04

  But as a kid, Flash was goaded.

• 2:50:29Speaker 00

  Give me the, give me the, give me Flash's ranking.

• 2:50:32Speaker 04

  There's no rank. It's not like.

• 2:50:33Speaker 00

  We're literally looking at the rankings.

• 2:50:35Speaker 03

  I'm looking at a ranking forty-fifth.

• 2:50:36Speaker 00

  That's a dog shit superhero.

• 2:50:38Speaker 04

  I don't know what.

• 2:50:39Speaker 00

  IMO.

• 2:50:40Speaker 04

  What's the top three of this? It's probably some Avengers freak.

• 2:50:42Speaker 02

  Who plays the Flash? What, is there a famous actor that played the Flash?

• 2:50:45Speaker 04

  It's a cartoon, bro. It's a comic.

• 2:50:47Speaker 02

  There's, they haven't done, oh yeah, there, there's been no human actors.

• 2:50:50Speaker 03

  Number one Spider-Man. That's just, this is. Number two, Black Panther.

• 2:50:54Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 2:50:54Speaker 03

  Number three, Batman. Batman's not even a superhero. That's top three, according to the Ancler.

• 2:51:02Speaker 04

  You can do everything with super speed.

• 2:51:03Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:51:04Speaker 03

  You go back in time.

• 2:51:05Speaker 04

  Like I said, I didn't see the Flash movies. The guy that played the Flash, I think like kidnapped someone, really bad guy.

• 2:51:13Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:51:14Speaker 04

  Ezra Miller. But that's, that.

• 2:51:17Speaker 02

  And that's, that's a new Flash.

• 2:51:19Speaker 04

  That's the new, I'm, I'm talking about like the comics, like when I was a kid, like the Justice League.

• 2:51:22Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:51:23Speaker 04

  Good guy. Flash.

• 2:51:26Speaker 00

  Okay, where do you, Hank?

• 2:51:29Speaker 04

  It's corn.

• 2:51:30Speaker 02

  He's corn. He's corn. Hank's corn.

• 2:51:32Speaker 03

  Topical.

• 2:51:33Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:51:35Speaker 02

  Very topical.

• 2:51:36Speaker 03

  That kid's in college now.

• 2:51:37Speaker 04

  It's corn.

• 2:51:40Speaker 00

  All right, Hank, Fire Fest, let's go.

• 2:51:43Speaker 04

  Yeah, Glenn kind of spoiled my Fire Fest a little bit, uh.

• 2:51:46Speaker 00

  Oh, no.

• 2:51:48Speaker 04

  But yeah, the, the grudge match versus PFT was pretty much just a, a recreation of.

• 2:51:54Speaker 02

  Every other time that we played on camera.

• 2:51:56Speaker 04

  Time we've ever done a grudge match. Same place, uh, Jackson Park, same time of year. I kind of realized, I was like, I was, I was. I came back down to, then we played a par five. I made a ten. I missed two tappens from under two feet in this video. Uh, just a complete disaster. I was leaving Jackson Park, driving home. I had like road rage, anger, like not real road rage, but I was just like so fucking mad driving. And then it kind of dawned on me, two years ago, that's where we did the video with Bob Does Sports in the fall.

• 2:52:30Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 2:52:30Speaker 04

  I choked during that video and I was very upset when I left last year, same time of year is when me and PFT did the, the one V one for six grand where I choked eh, and I left there, there being very mad. And then it happened again this year. So I just think I'm, I'm never going back to Jackson Park in the fall.

• 2:52:49Speaker 02

  It's my home course.

• 2:52:50Speaker 04

  With PFT.

• 2:52:51Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:52:51Speaker 04

  Just a complete disaster, complete choke. Golf season's over. I'm, I'm, I'm good. I'm good with, with talking about golf and just, I'm, I'm gonna take a break.

• 2:53:01Speaker 02

  I, I love how this has worked out where Hank beats me every single time when there's not a camera and then every time there's a camera, I beat him.

• 2:53:08Speaker 04

  Yeah, we played, we played with the DraftKings people like two weeks ago. I beat him by ten plus.

• 2:53:12Speaker 02

  No, no, not ten. Now, now we're getting away from it.

• 2:53:15Speaker 03

  Never know.

• 2:53:15Speaker 04

  I know. No, I know. I know. It's, it's not, I'm not, it's, it's bad. Like I, I'm, I'm well aware that this is bad. And then Big Cat, the next morning I come in, it's like nine o'clock and Big Cat was like, oh, yesterday was bad, huh? It's like, you're, you're a sicko.

• 2:53:27Speaker 00

  Some people. Well, I texted PFT and I was like, hey, how'd it go?

• 2:53:29Speaker 04

  Why didn't you text me?

• 2:53:31Speaker 00

  Because.

• 2:53:31Speaker 02

  You know.

• 2:53:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:53:33Speaker 02

  Deep down inside.

• 2:53:33Speaker 00

  I knew. And then so, and then PFT responded. He said, it went exactly how it always goes. I killed him.

• 2:53:39Speaker 02

  Yeah. It's just one of those things. Some people, they, they step their game up when the cameras come on.

• 2:53:45Speaker 04

  Yeah. And they're invitational. Oh, no. Uh, Stu Finer was there as well. We got the whole, uh, thing filmed for PMTV, so they're, they're, go watch it, I guess. I don't know. Don't, actually don't go watch it.

• 2:53:59Speaker 00

  No, watch it.

• 2:53:59Speaker 03

  No, watch it.

• 2:54:00Speaker 02

  Watch it. Well, you already watched it because Glenn did it.

• 2:54:03Speaker 00

  Well, and you also already watched it because it's literally the same video every time PFT plays Hank in golf.

• 2:54:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:54:08Speaker 03

  Were there any ants?

• 2:54:10Speaker 04

  Kind of.

• 2:54:10Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah. He almost.

• 2:54:12Speaker 04

  I didn't, I didn't ant, but I, I did, I did, I didn't, no, but I didn't ant. I just, we had to, we had to do some math.

• 2:54:19Speaker 02

  We did.

• 2:54:20Speaker 03

  Oh, I wish, I wish you ant him.

• 2:54:22Speaker 02

  We did have to do some math, yes.

• 2:54:24Speaker 00

  All right, PFT.

• 2:54:25Speaker 02

  Uh, my, who's back, or no, my Fire Fest of the week.

• 2:54:27Speaker 04

  Jesus.

• 2:54:28Speaker 02

  Shut the fuck up, Hank. You dressed up as corn. You, you sent, you sent Zach into the costume closet because you were late and you're like, hey, Zach, pick me out of costume.

• 2:54:37Speaker 00

  Corn.

• 2:54:38Speaker 02

  Corn.

• 2:54:38Speaker 04

  That's not true.

• 2:54:39Speaker 02

  I think, I think it's a little bit too true.

• 2:54:42Speaker 00

  A hundred percent true.

• 2:54:43Speaker 02

  Uh, my Fire Fest of the week is I got a new phone and, uh, was pretty happy about it because it's the, uh, the iPhone Duo. Yeah, that's exactly right. Hank's showing you what a phone looks like. It's like one of those, uh, but it's iPhone Duo and I was excited to get it because my battery has been dead, as I've said on the show for the last like three months. I've been somehow operating it, uh, with like magnetic batteries that I charge over. It's been a long thing. Um, so happy to have a new phone. Got it delivered on Monday. I like it. It, it folds out. It's a pretty good phone. I was excited to have it. Everyone's like, what do you think about it? And I haven't been able to give anybody a truthful answer yet because, uh, somewhere along the lines, not Apple's fault, I don't think. I'll say, I think it's my carrier's fault. They didn't put that phone, that individual phone

• 2:55:28Speaker 02

  into their database of phones that this carrier can manage. And the guy was like, this happens every time there's a new phone with like half of a half of percent of all the new phones, where you just get almost like a ghost phone that's not in their system. So then they have to put the, the phone into their system, which takes like three or four days. So I've been having to dual wield phones for the last couple of days because the new phone doesn't hook up to the cellular, so I can't make calls on it.

• 2:55:55Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:55:56Speaker 02

  But I've been using the new phone also as my alarm clock phone and it went off this morning and the alarm situation's different in terms of like where you have to slide, what buttons you have to press. And I got got by the snooze this morning.

• 2:56:08Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 2:56:09Speaker 02

  And I was late for a wake up bar stool because I accidentally turned the alarm off instead of hitting the snooze button.

• 2:56:15Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 2:56:16Speaker 02

  And, uh, so I've been just dealing with that. We've been going through with it, but I like it overall. I just can't, I can't give a full assessment of it yet.

• 2:56:22Speaker 00

  Do you know what you did wrong with the, when'd you get it?

• 2:56:25Speaker 02

  I got it on Monday.

• 2:56:26Speaker 00

  Yeah. The, you need to get a new phone on a weekend day with nothing going on, which I guess is hard in the fall, but like you need like a full day to basically fuck around with your phone.

• 2:56:38Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:56:38Speaker 00

  Before you're ready to go.

• 2:56:39Speaker 02

  I still haven't had that chance yet. Like everyone was like, oh, what do you think of this feature? I'm like, I, I have not had the dick around time on my phone.

• 2:56:46Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:56:46Speaker 02

  Which I can't wait for. It's gonna be good dick around time.

• 2:56:48Speaker 00

  Um, all right, my Fire Fest, uh, if you've been watching on Netflix, there's something sitting in front of me. Uh, do you guys have any idea what this might be?

• 2:56:59Speaker 02

  It looks like a toilet.

• 2:57:01Speaker 03

  Banner. A child. Pete Rose.

• 2:57:03Speaker 00

  So I have, uh, I, I'll fully admit, I've gotten into the collectible game and it's, it's becoming a problem because it was funny when it was, you know, maybe the blue turf or the Bills trough, then it's a Pete Rose, uh, uh, uh, coffee table and it's a chair that Taylor Swift sat in for one game. This one might be the moment that I have to reassess and, and, and be like, hey, guys, what are we doing? So, um, do you guys want to see what I, I purchased for?

• 2:57:32Speaker 03

  I'm excited.

• 2:57:33Speaker 00

  This studio, I don't know if we can figure out exactly how to install it, but I would like to have it in this studio.

• 2:57:40Speaker 03

  Install.

• 2:57:41Speaker 02

  Install is a tough word, yeah. That, that's not like hanging it up on the wall.

• 2:57:48Speaker 03

  It's a urinal.

• 2:57:48Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:57:50Speaker 00

  It's a urinal.

• 2:57:52Speaker 02

  I'm guessing it's not just a urinal.

• 2:57:54Speaker 00

  You'd be guessing right. This urinal sitting right in front of me right now has been peed in.

• 2:58:03Speaker 00

  By Jim Calhoun.

• 2:58:06Speaker 00

  Probably Kevin Ollie and definitely Dan Hurley. This is the urinal from the UConn men's basketball coaches office that I bought for $4,000.

• 2:58:16Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 2:58:17Speaker 00

  That's a special urinal.

• 2:58:18Speaker 02

  That's the urinal that he scoops his piss out of before the games.

• 2:58:21Speaker 00

  That's of, I think, five national championships? What do you guys think? Maybe, yeah, Kevin Ollie, we shouldn't even talk about.

• 2:58:27Speaker 02

  No, you had me at Kevin Ollie.

• 2:58:28Speaker 00

  Kevin Ollie. Hank, you don't think that's a good purchase?

• 2:58:30Speaker 04

  Nope.

• 2:58:30Speaker 00

  Why?

• 2:58:31Speaker 04

  It's a fucking urinal. You bought a used toilet.

• 2:58:34Speaker 00

  Jim Calhoun, Dan Hurley pissed in this urinal.

• 2:58:37Speaker 04

  In the studio. Who cares?

• 2:58:40Speaker 00

  I will admit also that UConn, like, they were doing a big sale because they were doing renovations and I wanted to buy something else. They're like, what about this urinal? I was like, fine, I'll take the urinal.

• 2:58:48Speaker 04

  What else do you want to buy? What else did you get?

• 2:58:50Speaker 00

  It was like some, I think it was a piece of, uh...

• 2:58:53Speaker 04

  The court?

• 2:58:54Speaker 00

  It was a piece of the quarter or it was like a, uh, old school, like, trophy banner thing, but then they ran out of that and they're like...

• 2:59:01Speaker 03

  You just got urinal.

• 2:59:02Speaker 00

  You want a urinal? I was like, who pissed in it? They're like, Jim Calhoun and Dan Hurley. I was like, yeah, I want that.

• 2:59:07Speaker 03

  That's worth four grand.

• 2:59:07Speaker 00

  That's 100% true.

• 2:59:09Speaker 02

  That's a hell of a salesperson.

• 2:59:09Speaker 04

  Do you have the certificate of authentication?

• 2:59:13Speaker 03

  Authenticity?

• 2:59:14Speaker 02

  Authenticity.

• 2:59:15Speaker 04

  I...

• 2:59:16Speaker 00

  No, I don't think so.

• 2:59:18Speaker 03

  I was hoping that it was a different urinal.

• 2:59:20Speaker 04

  A used urinal.

• 2:59:21Speaker 03

  I was hoping it was a urinal that Ed Sheeran pissed in.

• 2:59:23Speaker 00

  That would have been so sick.

• 2:59:24Speaker 03

  Or didn't piss in.

• 2:59:25Speaker 02

  Didn't piss.

• 2:59:25Speaker 00

  That would have been so sick. Sounds like you guys don't like my urinal.

• 2:59:28Speaker 02

  That one might be, we, we should look into that.

• 2:59:29Speaker 03

  That's what I'm saying. That would, that would be a special urinal. This one means nothing to anyone in this room.

• 2:59:35Speaker 04

  I think it's, I think it's installed in the perfect place as it is.

• 2:59:39Speaker 02

  I, I applaud Big Cat for this purchase because it sounds like some people here respect greatness and some people don't.

• 2:59:45Speaker 00

  Right?

• 2:59:45Speaker 02

  And anything that is adjacent to greatness can make us better. That's the way I look at it. Let's look at a reason why this is going to take us to the next level and not for a reason to put this down.

• 2:59:55Speaker 03

  Are we pissing in this room?

• 2:59:57Speaker 00

  Yes, that's what I'm saying. We'll have a piss.

• 2:59:58Speaker 03

  This room is gonna smell like piss.

• 2:59:59Speaker 02

  No, because it was a urinal.

• 3:00:00Speaker 00

  No, it's gonna be installed in this room and the pipes and everything, dude.

• 3:00:03Speaker 02

  It's actually gonna smell less like piss because we have a proper location to put our piss.

• 3:00:07Speaker 04

  That's not possible.

• 3:00:09Speaker 03

  How do you flush it? There's no top button? Yeah. There's no way this thing's getting installed in here.

• 3:00:13Speaker 00

  You guys are fucking haters. That's the problem.

• 3:00:16Speaker 02

  They are. There's a million reasons not to do things.

• 3:00:18Speaker 00

  If I get this installed in this room, you guys are gonna complain?

• 3:00:22Speaker 03

  If it smells like piss.

• 3:00:23Speaker 04

  Two, yes.

• 3:00:25Speaker 03

  What are we gonna tell a guy, like, uh...

• 3:00:27Speaker 00

  I'm gonna say that's fu- hey, hey, you know, you know Dan Hurley? Pretty good coach. He used to piss in that urinal.

• 3:00:33Speaker 03

  What is, has, did Dan Hurley know? You're, you're friends with Dan Hurley. Does he know that you bought this urinal?

• 3:00:38Speaker 00

  No, I've been waiting to, uh, till he comes back on the show to tell him.

• 3:00:42Speaker 03

  What do you think? He, he's gonna be a little creeped out.

• 3:00:44Speaker 00

  He's a little creeped out. Yeah, yeah. I won $200,000 in back-to-back years because UConn and Dan Hurley won national titles with Futures. I owe it to him to, to buy his urinal.

• 3:00:56Speaker 02

  It actually...

• 3:00:56Speaker 03

  You've lost, you've since lost all of that money.

• 3:00:59Speaker 00

  And more.

• 3:00:59Speaker 02

  It actually, it pays for itself.

• 3:01:03Speaker 00

  Go. Not a dime back.

• 3:01:05Speaker 03

  Not a dime back. Great use of not a dime back.

• 3:01:08Speaker 00

  All right.

• 3:01:10Speaker 06

  What urinal game are you gonna put at the bottom?

• 3:01:12Speaker 00

  Oh, good question. Is there maybe a basketball one we could find? That would be cool.

• 3:01:15Speaker 06

  We could maybe source that.

• 3:01:16Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:01:18Speaker 03

  If you want it installed in there, you could do it.

• 3:01:22Speaker 00

  Thank you, memes. Memes and PFT are my guys. Those are the only two guys that back me up.

• 3:01:28Speaker 03

  Memes also clarified in there because it's gonna smell in there and not in here.

• 3:01:35Speaker 00

  Yeah, put it next to Hank. Hold on. Are you guys telling me that if we don't get, uh, if, if I don't make Zach's, part of Zach's job to, to refresh the urinal with ice every day, you won't be pissing on it?

• 3:01:46Speaker 03

  Zach just goes back here, he goes, fuck, yeah, I'm on urinal duty now.

• 3:01:49Speaker 00

  Yeah, you are. You're gonna be, you're gonna be filling it with ice every day.

• 3:01:53Speaker 02

  Just have a bathroom attendant in here. Have some cologne next to it, maybe some gum.

• 3:01:58Speaker 00

  All right, you know what? Fine. If you guys want the urinal, we don't do the urinal. That's fine. I thought you guys would be excited.

• 3:02:02Speaker 02

  I'm into it.

• 3:02:02Speaker 00

  Also, this, I think I have to take a break from buying shit because when you buy a urinal, it's like, it's just a really tough moment.

• 3:02:09Speaker 03

  This is kinda like when a drug addict realizes that they're a drug addict.

• 3:02:14Speaker 00

  I bottomed out. There's, the, the intervention is imminent.

• 3:02:18Speaker 04

  Why don't you give it to Max for his new home?

• 3:02:21Speaker 00

  You want it?

• 3:02:22Speaker 03

  I don't want it.

• 3:02:24Speaker 00

  Dan Hurley used to piss in it.

• 3:02:25Speaker 06

  That would be so cool.

• 3:02:28Speaker 03

  No, that would just...

• 3:02:29Speaker 00

  It's a UConn urinal, so you don't need that part.

• 3:02:31Speaker 06

  Yeah, but you, you could put it in your man cave.

• 3:02:35Speaker 03

  I'll, I'll pa- I'll pass on that.

• 3:02:37Speaker 00

  Dude, think about the excellence that's pissed in here.

• 3:02:39Speaker 02

  Kevin Ollie.

• 3:02:40Speaker 00

  Winners, Kevin Ollie. I have to, hopefully, hopefully...

• 3:02:43Speaker 03

  Kevin Ollie, sixer.

• 3:02:44Speaker 00

  When we have Dan, Dan Hurley on next time, hopefully he's like, actually, we took that out when Kevin Ollie was coach and now it's back. So it was only Jim Calhoun and Dan Hurley. I have a certificate somewhere. Zach, finish this off.

• 3:02:57Speaker 06

  Certificate? Now I'm kinda in.

• 3:02:59Speaker 00

  I have a certificate.

• 3:02:59Speaker 06

  If it's authenticated, I'm in.

• 3:03:00Speaker 03

  You gotta get a Dan Hurley to sign it.

• 3:03:02Speaker 00

  Well, no, what I need to do is I need to, we need to install it. Dan Hurley comes to Chicago whenever they play DePaul. Have him piss and be like, recognize anything? That's your urinal. He'll probably, the groove of his penis will fit right in it.

• 3:03:16Speaker 02

  Have they ever graded a urinal before?

• 3:03:18Speaker 00

  I don't know.

• 3:03:19Speaker 02

  That's a pretty good condition. PSA?

• 3:03:21Speaker 00

  I should probably get it graded. All right, go ahead.

• 3:03:23Speaker 06

  Between, between the urinal and the truck, do you think you have the most pissed memorabilia?

• 3:03:27Speaker 00

  Yeah, I'd say so, easily. And I'm, I'm looking for more.

• 3:03:30Speaker 03

  100%.

• 3:03:31Speaker 00

  I wasn't even looking for this, but again, UConn was like, hey, we don't have the things you actually want. What about a urinal, knowing that I'm probably the only person in the world that would have bought this? So I was bidding against myself.

• 3:03:44Speaker 03

  It's a high price, too.

• 3:03:45Speaker 00

  Listen, it's the cost of doing business when you're in the, uh, large, rare, collectible game.

• 3:03:50Speaker 03

  It is a Kohler. You can get a urinal for $291.

• 3:03:54Speaker 00

  How many, how many national champions have pissed in it? All right, go ahead, Zach.

• 3:03:57Speaker 06

  That's American Standard. That's a Kohler up there.

• 3:03:59Speaker 00

  Zach.

• 3:04:00Speaker 06

  Uh, my Fire Fest of the week, uh, honestly, my Fire Fest of the week is I missed you guys.

• 3:04:04Speaker 00

  Oh, good.

• 3:04:06Speaker 06

  I missed you guys.

• 3:04:06Speaker 00

  Wasn't the same without you. Yeah. Well, how's, how sick were you?

• 3:04:11Speaker 06

  Uh, yeah, pretty, pretty sick. Like, probably like 7.5.

• 3:04:15Speaker 02

  That's pretty sick.

• 3:04:15Speaker 06

  Not too bad, though.

• 3:04:16Speaker 04

  How many guns have you leveled up?

• 3:04:18Speaker 06

  Four.

• 3:04:19Speaker 04

  Nice.

• 3:04:21Speaker 02

  Did you ever work on PM Town?

• 3:04:23Speaker 06

  Uh, PM Town is a realm now. It wasn't a realm. Couldn't get in. It was one of those things you're outside the club and line, but now we can get in. We can pay cover now, we're in.

• 3:04:33Speaker 00

  Very cool. Yeah, missed you too.

• 3:04:36Speaker 06

  You ever see a line at the, line at the club, three friends get in, one friend's left outside?

• 3:04:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:04:41Speaker 06

  I felt like the friend outside the club all week.

• 3:04:42Speaker 00

  Yeah. If, we miss you. And yeah, the, the group chat's still going. Not being here on a Sunday sucked. Like, I, I missed you.

• 3:04:51Speaker 06

  You guys rule.

• 3:04:52Speaker 00

  Get better, dude. Get better. All right, numbers. Three. Pick number three, my load.

• 3:04:58Speaker 03

  23.

• 3:04:58Speaker 06

  29.

• 3:05:00Speaker 03

  Oh, we got more costumes coming in.

• 3:05:02Speaker 00

  Okay, what do we got? What do we got?

• 3:05:03Speaker 03

  Everyone announce their costumes.

• 3:05:05Speaker 00

  Shane looks like Don Johnson from Miami.

• 3:05:06Speaker 03

  Colton looks awesome. I don't even, I have no idea.

• 3:05:10Speaker 00

  Uh, Colton is a tarp. I'll go 98.

• 3:05:13Speaker 02

  I'm the Blue Medical Tent.

• 3:05:15Speaker 00

  He's Blue Medical.

• 3:05:15Speaker 03

  Oh, that's good. That's a really good costume.

• 3:05:21Speaker 03

  Jacob?

• 3:05:24Speaker 02

  Ask me about my wiener.

• 3:05:27Speaker 03

  Nailed it.

• 3:05:27Speaker 06

  Ask me about my fucking wiener.

• 3:05:30Speaker 00

  Shane, you just look good.

• 3:05:33Speaker 03

  Shane does do this thing every year where he like wants to be a hot guy.

• 3:05:35Speaker 00

  Yeah, you look good. You're not even dressed up.

• 3:05:38Speaker 03

  Miami Vice.

• 3:05:39Speaker 00

  Yeah, no, but you just look good. Thanks, man. Yeah. You too.

• 3:05:43Speaker 03

  Guys, flash?

• 3:05:44Speaker 00

  With a urinal?

• 3:05:46Speaker 03

  Yeah. What's your number?

• 3:05:48Speaker 02

  Number three.

• 3:05:49Speaker 03

  85. Colton, the Blue Medical Tent is 69 and the wiener is nine. The wiener is nine.

• 3:05:58Speaker 00

  I'm 23.

• 3:06:02Speaker 03

  Memes, creative choice of no pants.

• 3:06:05Speaker 00

  One three, my load.

• 3:06:07Speaker 03

  Oh!

• 3:06:09Speaker 02

  62.

• 3:06:10Speaker 03

  Ah, 62.
