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 Pardon My Take presented by DraftKings, it is the Week 5 NFL Picks in Preview. We go through every game. We also have playoff baseball. It's been incredible. We have Anthony Rizzo in studio. Marathon runner Anthony Rizzo. That's what he'd like to be referred to. He's running the Chicago Marathon on Sunday. We have Fire Fest. And then we're going to recap. The Bucks get their first win of the season. We're going to talk about everything and it's brought to you by our friends at Pepsi. No game day spread is complete without the great taste of Pepsi Zero Sugar. Ready for it? Oh, yeah. You spend all week thinking about the wings, nachos, or burgers that you're

• 1:34Speaker 00

  going to dig into a kickoff, but are you pairing it with the right drink? I'm pairing my Pepsi with a nice, large slice of cheese pizza. Nothing goes better. Nothing goes better. Pepsi Zero Sugar has a bold, refreshing taste. It doesn't just complement your favorite tailgate foods. It makes the whole experience and every bite hit better. It's like watching your rival miss a chip shot field goal to lose a big game, watching your defense make a goal line stand to seal a victory. How about a big hit in October baseball? That's what Pepsi tastes like. Grab Pepsi Zero Sugar to elevate your game day. Tailgating deserves Pepsi. Food deserves Pepsi. I'm gonna take a little whack of this.

• 2:16Speaker 00

  Man, that's good. That's Pepsi. Go get Pepsi Zero Sugar today. Okay, let's go.

• 2:46Speaker 00

  Welcome to Pardon My Take presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours. Today is Friday, October 9th, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers got a win, boys. I was gonna start with the Cowboys, but you know what? First win of the season. Zach, how are you feeling? That was a win that no one saw coming, including Hank and I, who put the Cowboys in our Survivor League. How are you feeling, Zach?

• 3:12Speaker 02

  Season's back.

• 3:12Speaker 00

  Season's back?

• 3:14Speaker 02

  Yeah. Look, the boys are good today. That was good team chemistry. Season's all the way back. I had about 5% left in my hope tank. Hope tank's unfortunately filled like three quarter tank right now.

• 3:25Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 3:25Speaker 03

  That's good to know. So even though it looks like Baker's gonna be out extended period of time, Jalen Daniels showed you enough.

• 3:32Speaker 02

  Next man up, you know?

• 3:32Speaker 03

  Is he the guy?

• 3:34Speaker 02

  Uh, next man up for right now, he's doing, he had, I mean, he had a bounds of improvements from last game.

• 3:40Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 3:40Speaker 02

  He looked great. He started out kind of on fire.

• 3:43Speaker 00

  He played great. Like, he didn't turn the ball over. He commanded the offense.

• 3:48Speaker 03

  He took a few shots earlier. Like, he got pounded in the first opening drive. And then I think he realized, I can't do that.

• 3:55Speaker 00

  But he did enough. What he did, well, the Cowboys defense, we'll get to the Cowboys. They're poo poo. But he did enough to make it so that you had to at least respect his arm. And then Bucky Irving was phenomenal.

• 4:06Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:06Speaker 00

  And the Bucks defense played great.

• 4:08Speaker 02

  Bucky broke a big one. He picked up the big yards we need to. Bucky's feet didn't stop moving the entire game.

• 4:13Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 4:13Speaker 02

  He went to way after the whistle. Just to let you know, I could have got two or three more if I needed to. And then Daniel was able to just like extend a couple plays with his legs. Like, oh, okay. If you're gonna give me the space, I'll take it. He take it, pick up two easy first downs. It was nice.

• 4:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, I thought.

• 4:26Speaker 02

  It was refreshing, man.

• 4:27Speaker 03

  I thought Todd Bowles looked so relieved at the end of the game.

• 4:30Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 4:30Speaker 03

  When it came down to make that decision, whether or not to kick a field goal or go for it on fourth down, he always has this look on his face when he has to make a decision. And it always looks like he's in the smelliest room. Like, somebody just farted next to him. His nose crinkles up. I think he's trying to do math in his brain. And that's never a good place for him to be. And he always, I don't know how he does it. It's actually remarkable. I don't think he's ever made the correct decision on whether to go for or not. That's one of the cases where like, old conservative Todd would have done a good job just kicking a field goal, go up by 17 points.

• 5:03Speaker 00

  You said it exactly when it happened. You're like, Todd Bowles will never do this again.

• 5:06Speaker 03

  And so now, the fact that he made, he made the wrong decision by going for it, they didn't get it, and now Todd Bowles, forget about it. He's never going to go for a fourth down ever again.

• 5:15Speaker 00

  Do you know what I think, what happened to Todd Bowles in that situation? I think he's just like, he's like, I see all these young Bucks going for it.

• 5:21Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 5:21Speaker 00

  I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna be the guy. But it's like, the one time.

• 5:25Speaker 03

  You shouldn't. Yeah.

• 5:26Speaker 00

  The Bears had it last week where they, where we had like fourth and four in the red zone. And Ben Johnson said after, he's like, yeah, when you can go up 17, you go up 17? Like, what was he doing?

• 5:37Speaker 03

  It makes no sense. He gets so confused. I think he gets dizzy when he tries to do math.

• 5:42Speaker 02

  That you can see the decision making going, confliction going on in his head. And then every time, last second, he'll just look to whoever's directly to his right or left, hoping they have something to say.

• 5:51Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 5:51Speaker 02

  Completely indecisive every time. And somehow, it's a lot of the times, never the right call.

• 5:56Speaker 03

  He's like, looking around and he's chuckling a little bit to himself. He's like, I got myself in this pickle. Once again, what am I gonna do? He's hoping that somebody's gonna like authoritatively come up to him. Anybody. It would be anybody that's sitting next to him. And just go, hey, Todd, you gotta kick it here.

• 6:12Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 6:12Speaker 03

  He's like, yeah, I was about to say, yeah, we should.

• 6:13Speaker 00

  Yeah, he should definitely kick it.

• 6:14Speaker 03

  All right, take the points.

• 6:16Speaker 00

  It's awesome though, Zach, because you do, you are, like, your season is, I know it's only one win, but you have a game against the Steelers next week, and then you have two division games. So if you go, if you can win those two division games, like, you're all the way back in the season.

• 6:30Speaker 02

  Whole different script.

• 6:31Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 6:31Speaker 02

  That's what I'm saying.

• 6:32Speaker 00

  This was a scheduled loss. Like, even with, before the season, you thought you might lose this game on a short, I mean, I just, I was so impressed with Jalen Daniels. I actually think that like, I did a bad job of saying he played good. He played great. Given the circumstances, short week, going to Dallas on the road, like, knowing going into the game that Dallas' offense is explosive and you have to play, not perfect, but close to perfect. Jalen Daniels was awesome.

• 6:59Speaker 02

  Yeah. And no, did the, I mean, did the Cowboys have a good game? No. But does that take anything away from what they were able to do as a team?

• 7:04Speaker 00

  Well.

• 7:05Speaker 03

  You know, but he was like, he was decisive. He was, he had a quick release. He was accurate. Like, that's, he did exactly what he was trying to do.

• 7:13Speaker 00

  There's, there's two things that happened to the Cowboys. One, we all knew, and they just suck on defense. They're so bad at tackling. They're just so, like, the ball control the Bucks were able to exhibit was insane. Felt like the Cowboys just didn't have the ball. The second is, you expect their offense to be awesome. C.D. Lamb, I know he got hurt. He was, he was nothing when he was out there. Jake Ferguson, like, a couple balls, including the end, the game sealing interception off his hands. Dak never got into a real rhythm other than like hitting George Pickens. Their offense has to be perfect because their defense is so bad.

• 7:49Speaker 03

  Dak sucked tonight.

• 7:50Speaker 00

  He did.

• 7:50Speaker 03

  Like, playing simple.

• 7:51Speaker 00

  He got into a rhythm a little bit in the, when they were down 24-10.

• 7:54Speaker 03

  Right, right. That last drive was, was good. But Dak sucked tonight.

• 7:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 7:59Speaker 03

  This is a bad game, especially compared to how he's been playing this year, where he's played like, close to MVP caliber football through four games. But I mean, if you follow the Cowboys for any period of time, you know that this is gonna happen. This is, that's just what they do. This is, this is Dallas football. There's a 31-year track record of it happening again and again. They're gonna look awesome. People are gonna say, oh, maybe this is the year for the Cowboys. And then you're gonna realize, oh, yeah, this is extremely flawed football.

• 8:27Speaker 00

  Well, yeah, like going off a huge win against Houston, where they come back and all that, and all the vibes. And then they're like, oh, we get to play an 0-4 team at home? The Cowboys about to roll. Nope.

• 8:38Speaker 03

  A good team at least finds a way to win, even if it's a Thursday night and the other team plays like their hair is on fire.

• 8:45Speaker 00

  Their defense is so bad. It's, it's actually, I, I, I'm gonna say something that is gonna sound crazy. I actually feel bad for Cowboys fans because watching a defense that cannot get off the field is a torture that, like, we've all experienced at some point. You can't, you can't describe the torture that it feels like when you just cannot get off the field and the other team just possesses the ball and they just get, you know, first down, five yard run, second down, even if it's incompletion. Okay, we'll get it on third down. The Bucks had the ball for 40 minutes tonight. 40 minutes.

• 9:22Speaker 03

  At our longest drive since 2007.

• 9:24Speaker 00

  Yeah, in terms of time.

• 9:26Speaker 03

  He took up like, the entire half of the first quarter. The second half of the first quarter was, it was just Bucks going on a 90-yard drive.

• 9:33Speaker 02

  Yeah, it was one, one possession each in the first. And then for most of the game, we had them play our game.

• 9:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 9:38Speaker 02

  Like, we had a decent amount of control.

• 9:39Speaker 00

  Seven for 13 on third down. Like, yeah, the Bucks, listen, I'm not gonna say that they're good, but your season at least has life.

• 9:48Speaker 02

  Anything's better than what it's been for the entirety of the season, so.

• 9:52Speaker 00

  Are you, how many, are you a Steelers win? So if you win next week, away from starting to get really mad about the first four games? Because you know, that could like retroactively happen where you're like, god damn it, how did we not win one of those?

• 10:06Speaker 03

  If we, if we pick up both the divisional games, I'll look at like, Weeks 1 and 2, like.

• 10:14Speaker 03

  What's going on?

• 10:14Speaker 00

  Yeah, what the hell happened?

• 10:15Speaker 03

  What are you doing here?

• 10:15Speaker 00

  Cause we talked about it, uh, what I think it was last week, the difference between one and four and two and three.

• 10:20Speaker 03

  Psychologically, it's massive.

• 10:22Speaker 00

  Massively different. So, but you guys are, yeah, and the Cowboys, there's just something beautiful. As much as I feel bad for their fans, there's something beautiful about watching Jerry Jones just have a, a meltdown in his, uh, suite on national television.

• 10:37Speaker 03

  We, you know, one thing that we didn't get, I don't know if this is like an Amazon deal of Jeff Bezos made a, a, a special bargain with Jerry Jones. We didn't see the sad Cowboys fans.

• 10:48Speaker 00

  No.

• 10:48Speaker 03

  They didn't do the traditional pan through the crowd.

• 10:51Speaker 00

  You're right.

• 10:51Speaker 03

  Where you see people crying, you see like the guys wearing the giant jean shorts, like, uh, uh, bearing their face and tears and their girlfriend's shoulder. Like you usually get something very funny or like a, a sad cowboy fan kid. Um, we didn't get any of that tonight and it felt very off brand. Usually it's like, that's a must have shot at the end of any loss.

• 11:11Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah, it's true. We were robbed of that. We're absolutely robbed of that.

• 11:15Speaker 03

  How long has it been since the Bucks covered?

• 11:17Speaker 00

  Uh, they covered last week.

• 11:18Speaker 03

  Last week.

• 11:19Speaker 00

  Yeah, people were drawing around the stat trying to like, it was almost, I saw a couple of people tweeting it like they haven't covered in 13. It was almost like they decided they were going to do the stat to get some impressions. They covered three and a half last week.

• 11:31Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 11:31Speaker 00

  Yeah, they lost by three to the Packers. So now they're on a streak.

• 11:35Speaker 04

  Doubled up. Twelve is in the past, two, two covers in a row.

• 11:38Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 11:38Speaker 04

  Something to talk about.

• 11:39Speaker 00

  An outright win as an eight, eight and a half point dog. Hank, are you, uh, you, you're mad. Never the Cowboys again.

• 11:47Speaker 05

  No, yeah, I mean, that's, that's, that's survivor pools though. That's, it's always.

• 11:50Speaker 00

  I looked at mine and there was like 15 of us left. I think nine of us had the Cowboys.

• 11:54Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's, that's the NFL.

• 11:56Speaker 03

  Yeah, the Cowboys are allowing.

• 11:58Speaker 05

  Thursday night, the, any, anytime there's a, there's a seven or more point favorite on a Thursday night. But this, I feel like this happens every year.

• 12:05Speaker 03

  I know. This one was so, so hard to take though, because you had the, the unknown really of Jalen Daniels.

• 12:10Speaker 05

  Well, money line, yeah, but the spread was.

• 12:13Speaker 03

  The Cowboys are allowing 6.4 yards per play, worse than the NFL.

• 12:20Speaker 03

  The most rush yards per game allowed in Dallas Cowboys history. Um, the first was in their inaugural season of 1960. 186.8. Second place is this year, 168.8. They just don't tackle.

• 12:36Speaker 00

  No.

• 12:37Speaker 03

  Caleb Downs, I think is the only, is the only guy that knows how to tackle on that team.

• 12:40Speaker 00

  They take the worst angles.

• 12:41Speaker 03

  Bad angles and, um, their linebackers just arm tackle.

• 12:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 12:45Speaker 03

  And, and they plant their feet just really, really bad, but also watching that as a, uh, a division foe. I told Max, even the, even the Eagles have a chance to win the division this year.

• 12:56Speaker 04

  Eagles are favorites in the division.

• 12:57Speaker 03

  Yeah, I know, I know. Uh, all right.

• 12:59Speaker 04

  You said that seriously though, not as a bit.

• 13:01Speaker 03

  No, I, Max, I, Max, I, Max, I was telling you that like, even though you're rebuilding, you should win the division.

• 13:08Speaker 04

  They are plus 130 to win the division.

• 13:10Speaker 03

  Yeah. And you, and you, you should, the Cowboys should not win the division. I'm not saying.

• 13:14Speaker 04

  I had to fight with everyone in the cave about how that, that was so disrespectful for you to even say, like, it was like you, Max, you still have hope. You can, you can, you can do this when we're favorites to win.

• 13:25Speaker 00

  I don't know if he said it like that.

• 13:26Speaker 04

  Yeah, I, no, but then I, I was fighting with everyone else about like, oh yeah, you're going to blow, the, the whole team's blowing up, you're rebuilding, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it's like, we're fa, we're favorites to win the division.

• 13:35Speaker 03

  Okay, you are, you are rebuilding, but there's been a lot of talk of rebuild the last couple of days.

• 13:39Speaker 04

  By, by fans.

• 13:41Speaker 03

  I'm telling you, the Eagles should, the Cowboys are not the best team in that division.

• 13:46Speaker 04

  I don't know who's the best team in that division. It's not a good division.

• 13:49Speaker 03

  It's not a good division, but even the Eagles can win.

• 13:51Speaker 00

  Yeah. Hear that, Max?

• 13:54Speaker 03

  You got this, buddy.

• 13:55Speaker 04

  We're going to fucking scrap right in your guys' face.

• 13:58Speaker 03

  Don't scrap in my face.

• 13:59Speaker 04

  I'm gonna scrap in your face.

• 14:00Speaker 03

  No, no, no.

• 14:00Speaker 04

  I'm gonna muck it up right in your face. So much muck.

• 14:03Speaker 00

  Before we talk playoff baseball, two updates, uh, to our preview, cause we did it earlier in the day. One, Sean Payton is now fully taking control of, uh, the play calling. When we did our preview, it was a collaborative effort.

• 14:18Speaker 03

  Uh, I think the collaboration lasted four hours.

• 14:22Speaker 00

  So who was it? Was it Davis Mill? No, uh, what was his name?

• 14:25Speaker 03

  Uh, Webb.

• 14:25Speaker 00

  Webb. Yeah. Uh, Webb, that sucks for him. He basically, it's like the reverse of being the hot coordinator. You're, yeah, it was four weeks. Like, yeah, you're dog shit.

• 14:38Speaker 03

  And, and you don't really know how much is his problem and how much is on Bo Nix, but you have to know if you take that job, that the very first thing people are going to say is, hey, why isn't Sean Payton calling the plays?

• 14:50Speaker 00

  Right.

• 14:50Speaker 03

  Like you have the, one of the best guys ever to do it. Why isn't he? So it's, it was kind of like he was set up to fail unless it was a perfect offense.

• 14:57Speaker 00

  I also don't know, like, couldn't Sean Payton just call the plays and not say anything?

• 15:00Speaker 03

  That's what I was thinking he was going to do is just secretly.

• 15:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 15:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 15:03Speaker 00

  Uh, and the other update, uh, this one sucked for the Bears. Kyle Manon guy has turf toe. I don't know what, if he's, I think he's going to try to play. But when we get to Bears Packers, I, I talked about how I expect them to dominate. Kyle Manon guy not playing. If he doesn't play, that changes things a little bit because Deandre Swift has had fumbleitis. Uh, we also, I've said, we said this a million times, need a new word for turf toe. It is so much more painful than it sounds. When you see the words turf toe, you're like, dude, just, well, you're fine. Like you stubbed your toe.

• 15:32Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 15:32Speaker 00

  On the turf, you're fine, but it's way more painful.

• 15:35Speaker 03

  His foot is fucked.

• 15:36Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah. So that's bad. Uh, okay. Playoff baseball. Let's start with Wednesday night. The Yankees are a joke. The Rays are really, really good. The Yankees are a joke though. All they do is get to the ALDS or ALCS and then we have a bunch of our coworkers who are diehard Yankees fans tweet, uh, helplessly saying, you need to change everything. You need to trade, yeah, blow it up, uh, get rid of Cashman, get rid of Boone and nothing changes. I feel bad for them because they are just helpless in the fact that they cannot, they just, every year's the same tweet.

• 16:10Speaker 03

  And then that same tweet was kind of vocalized by Aaron Judge after the series and the interview that he gave after the series talking about how like they've got, they need to figure out what the holes are and they have to fill them. Um, he was talking like a guy that played in the series.

• 16:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 16:24Speaker 03

  He was kind of shy. It, it seemed like, like if you listen to him talk, you'd think this is a guy that just went out there and hit like 400 and, uh, and four home runs in a five game series and they lost. The way he's talking about how to, how to rebuild the team after this.

• 16:39Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 16:39Speaker 03

  Kind of shocking to hear that from him, but he's also not wrong.

• 16:42Speaker 00

  No.

• 16:43Speaker 03

  But I mean, I don't know what you're going to do. They're, they've been doing the exact same strategy for the last, it feels like seven years.

• 16:50Speaker 03

  They always have one or two innings and big series, crucial series that they just fuck up with errors. Bad, bad night in the field last night.

• 16:59Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 17:00Speaker 03

  Uh, from, from the Yankees.

• 17:01Speaker 00

  Hey, can I ask a question?

• 17:02Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 17:02Speaker 00

  Can we put on the playoff baseball instead of a golf tournament that's taking place? Who, what are they, how's their golf on right now?

• 17:09Speaker 05

  The Bay Current Classic, they're in Japan.

• 17:10Speaker 00

  Can we put on the playoff game? The, the White Sox have two on, uh, in the bottom of the ninth, down nine, five.

• 17:16Speaker 04

  And, and led off the inning with a homer.

• 17:18Speaker 00

  And led off the inning with a homer.

• 17:19Speaker 04

  Game is.

• 17:19Speaker 00

  How are they playing golf still?

• 17:23Speaker 05

  Bay Current, man.

• 17:24Speaker 00

  Can you get, can you change it?

• 17:25Speaker 05

  Do you want to put it on here?

• 17:26Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 17:26Speaker 04

  No, no, no, no. Can we get baseball on this too, dude? Are you serious? We're watching fucking Joe Bridgman.

• 17:33Speaker 00

  He just rolled his eyes about the Bay Current Classic.

• 17:36Speaker 04

  That's, that's an insane eye roll.

• 17:40Speaker 05

  Here's what I'll say before I, before I change the TV.

• 17:42Speaker 04

  Before what?

• 17:43Speaker 03

  Golf should not be played in October.

• 17:44Speaker 05

  No, but this is so performative because like I could have just turned like, if I didn't turn the TV on, you guys wouldn't be like, oh, Hank, why isn't the White?

• 17:51Speaker 00

  No, I would've said it on.

• 17:53Speaker 04

  And then how, what did I immediately, he said that the White Sox led the inning off with a homer. I was following it. Big Cat was following it.

• 17:58Speaker 00

  On my, on my computer, I was like, okay, this is.

• 18:00Speaker 03

  I've got, I've got the, the play by play on.

• 18:03Speaker 00

  I, same. I was like, this is actually something we should monitor.

• 18:08Speaker 05

  But you didn't say anything when we walked in the studio.

• 18:09Speaker 00

  Because it was nine to four.

• 18:11Speaker 04

  But now it's a thing.

• 18:12Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's become an elevated situation.

• 18:15Speaker 05

  You didn't have to knock the Bay Current Classic.

• 18:20Speaker 00

  I just can't believe there's golf still.

• 18:22Speaker 04

  It's also 11 o'clock at night. How the fuck is their golf on?

• 18:26Speaker 00

  Where is this being played, Hank?

• 18:28Speaker 05

  It's, it's delightful. It's in Japan.

• 18:31Speaker 00

  Who is playing?

• 18:32Speaker 05

  Everyone's playing. Max Holman's fucking dialed.

• 18:35Speaker 00

  All right, go Max. Go Max, go. Oh, Gavin Williams is in the game. He's going to be their starter on Saturday.

• 18:42Speaker 05

  I'll be kind of a double player right now.

• 18:45Speaker 00

  All right.

• 18:46Speaker 05

  I just, you, that was an unnecessary ricochet. You could have just said, could you please put the White Sox game on?

• 18:50Speaker 00

  That was not a ricochet. That was a direct shot.

• 18:52Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 18:52Speaker 00

  In fact, there's fucking golf on in October at 11:00 PM at night on a Thursday.

• 18:57Speaker 05

  That's a sports podcast. I guess not.

• 19:00Speaker 04

  Sports?

• 19:01Speaker 05

  International sports podcast.

• 19:03Speaker 04

  Told you to turn this off to watch Dancing with the Stars.

• 19:05Speaker 05

  But like.

• 19:07Speaker 04

  Dancing is sport.

• 19:08Speaker 00

  The Bay Current Classic, who could forget?

• 19:11Speaker 05

  No respect.

• 19:12Speaker 00

  It's the six major.

• 19:13Speaker 05

  No respect. Yeah.

• 19:15Speaker 00

  Is that even?

• 19:16Speaker 05

  Throw the game.

• 19:17Speaker 00

  Is that the PGA Tour?

• 19:18Speaker 05

  No.

• 19:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 19:18Speaker 03

  No.

• 19:18Speaker 00

  What is it?

• 19:19Speaker 03

  How?

• 19:19Speaker 05

  It is a PGA Tour.

• 19:20Speaker 03

  How? It's in Japan.

• 19:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, it is FedEx Cup.

• 19:22Speaker 03

  PGA professional, is, is that not PGA of America?

• 19:26Speaker 05

  No, that's a different, that's a different league.

• 19:28Speaker 00

  How is, how is it the PGA Tour?

• 19:30Speaker 05

  They do events in the fall.

• 19:33Speaker 03

  In Japan?

• 19:33Speaker 00

  Events in Japan?

• 19:34Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 19:35Speaker 00

  In October?

• 19:36Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 19:37Speaker 03

  That's weird.

• 19:39Speaker 05

  Good, good to have a fall event until the Callaway stuff.

• 19:42Speaker 03

  What happened with them?

• 19:44Speaker 00

  All right. Uh, yeah, the Yankees are, I mean, the Rays are just really good. So it's more about the Rays, like they were really good all year. They are a perfect, we'll actually talk about it with Rizzo. He gives us some good insight into like the Rays organization and how they work. Small ball, small ball and just coaching. Uh, but the Yankees are a joke. The Dodgers.

• 20:07Speaker 05

  Before we, before that.

• 20:09Speaker 00

  What?

• 20:10Speaker 05

  I don't want to call for people's jobs.

• 20:13Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 20:15Speaker 05

  Whoever is the VIP ticketing person for the Yankees that stuck Dua Lipa next to Marlins man.

• 20:25Speaker 05

  One of the worst, like, I felt so bad for Dua Lipa.

• 20:27Speaker 03

  I think.

• 20:28Speaker 05

  What like absolute night, like Dua Lipa will never go to a Yankees game again.

• 20:33Speaker 03

  I saw that and.

• 20:34Speaker 05

  Ever.

• 20:35Speaker 03

  And my thought was the ticket salesman.

• 20:37Speaker 05

  It wasn't a salesman. That's like the VIP.

• 20:39Speaker 03

  Like Dua Lipa is not paying for tickets. They're like, oh, we got two tickets for you. We got you next to a fucking Marlins man. Was they know exactly.

• 20:47Speaker 05

  Oh, that's that, but that's evil. That's evil. Even worse.

• 20:50Speaker 03

  I agree.

• 20:51Speaker 00

  Would you guys like to know what Marlins man texted me?

• 20:54Speaker 05

  Please, not really, but please.

• 20:56Speaker 00

  Well, he texted me, go to Twitter, search Marlins man hit latest.

• 21:00Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 21:01Speaker 03

  Smart, smart, humble, humble as ever.

• 21:04Speaker 00

  Like our humble king.

• 21:05Speaker 03

  Marlins man, I, I've noticed and I don't, I, I don't want to say anything disparaging about Marlins man. Cause the Lord knows he would not do that about us. Marlins man seems to be paying less attention.

• 21:17Speaker 00

  No.

• 21:18Speaker 03

  Than, than he did in the past.

• 21:20Speaker 00

  Don't say that.

• 21:20Speaker 03

  Like he's always on his phone.

• 21:22Speaker 00

  Don't say that, PFT.

• 21:24Speaker 03

  Always like, it's not, it's, I don't, I think he watches like six pitches a game now.

• 21:30Speaker 00

  No, it can't be possible.

• 21:32Speaker 03

  Have you not noticed that?

• 21:33Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah. I was locked in. I was, I was like.

• 21:37Speaker 03

  Well, I know, cause he used to watch like half the game.

• 21:40Speaker 00

  He's not, he left early. Wow. He left early.

• 21:43Speaker 03

  His crypto buddy in him?

• 21:44Speaker 00

  Oh, Hank, not a double play. All right. White Sox down to their last out in game four.

• 21:51Speaker 00

  Dodgers win again. Do you see the Dodgers like the way they celebrate? It's like basically winning a series in the middle of July.

• 21:57Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 21:58Speaker 00

  They're just.

• 21:58Speaker 05

  What do you think Scooball? Like I, I saw that where it was like Scooball and, and, uh, has to just act like he's been in there before, even though he hasn't.

• 22:06Speaker 00

  Well, they did a, no, he didn't get to a CS, did he? No, he was, he pitched in the DS.

• 22:12Speaker 03

  In the DS.

• 22:13Speaker 00

  Yeah. He, uh, yeah, there was butts out and the Dodgers, uh, they're just, dude. They just do it like, we were talking about Kike Hernandez having 17 home runs. I, we didn't met Max Muncie hit a homerun. Did he hit a homerun last night? Yeah. You know, Max Muncie has 19 postseason home runs. Do you know Max Muncie is, uh, he, he is the seventh most postseason home runs. All right. The game's over.

• 22:43Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 22:44Speaker 00

  The Guardians win.

• 22:44Speaker 05

  Missed like calling more cow making par for that.

• 22:47Speaker 00

  All right. Get it back on, get the Bay Crest back on. No, no, I want the Bay.

• 22:49Speaker 05

  They current.

• 22:50Speaker 00

  Bay current back on. The, the Dodgers have three guys who are in the top 20 of baseball all time postseason home runs. Freddie Freeman.

• 23:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 23:02Speaker 00

  Max Muncie and Kike Hernandez. And I will say this, I can't, I, I can't stand what the Braves did on, uh, Wednesday night. Now there was an error that was a brutal error to tie the game up, but Tyler Mall was pitching like great. He gave up an unearned run in, in like whatever it was, the second inning. He was at 85 pitches and they pulled them. I, I don't know why managers do this. He was pissed too. Did you see him when he's getting taken off the mound? He was like, what the fuck? And then the game just fell apart after that.

• 23:39Speaker 03

  Yeah. I, I mean, the pitching not great. They just didn't hit for shit though. That's the thing. Like the Braves sucked on offense, uh, throughout the postseason and it's been a recurring issue with them going back the last, uh, like versus the world series.

• 23:52Speaker 00

  Here's the stat.

• 23:53Speaker 03

  They won the world series, which by the way, they did without Acuna.

• 23:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 23:57Speaker 03

  And it was a bunch of guys that were like filling in. I said at the time, like, are the Braves better without Acuna? Just to fuck with Braves fans.

• 24:05Speaker 03

  It turns out I was right about that. Um, that was the best that they were ever going to get. They never approached that level in the postseason. Acuna probably, he might not be a brave next season. Um, there'll be, uh, teams lined up, I would imagine for that name, even though he doesn't produce in the postseason. Uh, but yeah, they're not, they're not happy with their offense down in Atlanta.

• 24:24Speaker 04

  Braves fans are not happy with Ronald Acuna.

• 24:26Speaker 03

  No, he sucks in the postseason.

• 24:29Speaker 04

  Booed so hard.

• 24:31Speaker 00

  Did you guys see this stat? If you saw it, don't answer, but they had, the Braves had 23 opportunities with runners in scoring position against the Dodgers. How many hits did they get?

• 24:40Speaker 05

  One.

• 24:41Speaker 03

  I did not see this stat. Yeah.

• 24:42Speaker 00

  One for 23. It's the, it's the second worst batting average with runners in scoring position in a postseason series in MLB history. Behind only the Dodgers in the 1966 world series who were oh for 22.

• 24:57Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 24:58Speaker 00

  That's insane. One for 23 with a guy on second or third base.

• 25:04Speaker 03

  We, we don't talk about Braves fans misery a lot because they do, they make the postseason like every year.

• 25:10Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 25:10Speaker 03

  They always, they're, they're always a good team. They always somehow they win the division or they get the wild card. They're always there and they did win a world series back, was that 2021? I think, um, but the life of a Braves fan is like, you win a world series once every 30 years. And, uh, in between you just get kicked in the dick every October.

• 25:31Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 25:32Speaker 03

  And it's never really close.

• 25:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 25:34Speaker 03

  Uh, so this is just more of the same.

• 25:36Speaker 00

  Yeah. And the Dodgers are the Dodgers. And now we have an all time NLCS with Dodgers and Brewers. Brewers win the series, which was is, what, who, who did the, uh, the closest for, was it Mike Greenberg? When the, when the Lakers got swept, he's like, it was the closest sweep ever.

• 25:53Speaker 03

  That was the, uh, the, the Nuggets and the Lakers.

• 25:55Speaker 00

  Yeah, Lakers. That was the closest, uh, three, one series win you could ever have because the Padres were right there. But the Brewers just, they're, they were the better team. They got bigger hits. I mean.

• 26:06Speaker 03

  Played better defense.

• 26:07Speaker 00

  Yeah. Sal, Sal Frelick is a stud. I, it's going to be awesome watching the Dodgers and Brewers. Best two teams in the NL all season long and going head to head. I think we're going to get a different series than we did last year when it was a sweep by the Dodgers.

• 26:22Speaker 04

  I'll say it. Best, best two teams in baseball.

• 26:24Speaker 00

  Best two teams in baseball.

• 26:25Speaker 03

  This is the real world series?

• 26:27Speaker 00

  Razor, Razor good.

• 26:29Speaker 04

  Razors, the razors. It's probably because I'm an NL guy, not a nail guy, even watching that, that Rays Yankee series. I just looked at that as the Yankees fucking suck. Well, I know the Rays are good.

• 26:39Speaker 03

  Rays, the Rays are good.

• 26:40Speaker 04

  They're so boring.

• 26:41Speaker 03

  And we just, we, we continuously overlooked.

• 26:44Speaker 00

  Yeah, but it is, it's.

• 26:45Speaker 04

  I'll continue to overlook them.

• 26:46Speaker 00

  It's the best team in baseball by record and how they played all regular season in the Brewers. And then the team that was like, you knew they were just going to be there and they have the highest ceiling in the Dodgers.

• 26:56Speaker 03

  Is Tampa having a moment right now? As a sports town?

• 27:00Speaker 00

  Maybe.

• 27:01Speaker 05

  Some are saying.

• 27:01Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 27:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 27:02Speaker 00

  And the Brewers have home field advantage now. They didn't last year, right?

• 27:05Speaker 03

  Uh, they might've last year.

• 27:07Speaker 00

  Did they last year?

• 27:07Speaker 04

  They a hundred percent did. A hundred percent.

• 27:09Speaker 00

  Definitely.

• 27:10Speaker 04

  The Dodgers didn't even get a buy last.

• 27:11Speaker 00

  Yeah, they definitely did. Yeah.

• 27:12Speaker 03

  Yeah. So, um, kind of weird stat. We just looked this up the other day. June 6th, 2025, the Brewers were 34 and 29. Me and Arian threw out the first pitch. Since then, 172 and 102.

• 27:24Speaker 00

  They're really good.

• 27:25Speaker 03

  By far best record, but they've been really, really good. The point is for the last like year and a half, they have been the best team.

• 27:30Speaker 00

  They gotta get there though.

• 27:31Speaker 03

  They just have to beat the Dodgers. I think everybody's rooting for them to beat the Dodgers.

• 27:35Speaker 00

  Nope.

• 27:36Speaker 03

  You're not?

• 27:36Speaker 00

  I don't like the Brewers.

• 27:37Speaker 03

  You'd rather have the Dodgers?

• 27:38Speaker 00

  Yeah, I don't care.

• 27:40Speaker 04

  I'm rooting for the Brewers.

• 27:42Speaker 00

  I'm just being honest. I, I.

• 27:43Speaker 04

  Rooting hard.

• 27:44Speaker 00

  I'm not going to be like, go Dodgers, go, but I, I would like the Dodgers to beat the Brewers.

• 27:48Speaker 05

  Brew crew.

• 27:49Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 27:50Speaker 04

  Brew.

• 27:50Speaker 00

  And the Brewers just own the Cubs right now. I can't, I can't handle it. I'll be honest with you. They, they, they, they fuck us up every single year. Drives me nuts. And at least I could just be like, oh, the Dodgers spend so much more money. That's why they won. If the Brewers win, it's like, what's the Cubs excuse? There is none.

• 28:04Speaker 03

  I'd root for any team in baseball, maybe except for the Yankees.

• 28:08Speaker 00

  Oh, I think every Cubs fans were going to be for the Dodgers in this. Yeah. I was asked that on Waddle and Silly today and they all were like, yeah, a hundred percent Dodgers. No problem.

• 28:16Speaker 03

  Any team in baseball over, over the Dodger, the Yankee, I would root for the Dodgers over the Yankees. That's the only exception I'd make.

• 28:22Speaker 04

  I was rooting for the Dodgers over the Braves in this series, but.

• 28:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's the same thing. Yeah, exactly. If you have a, a, a division rival, you're going to probably just be like, fine. Just let the Dodgers win and just be like, oh, baseball's broken. It's a, it's an easy way to go to bed at night to just like, baseball's broken.

• 28:37Speaker 03

  So if, if the Dodgers win the world series, if it's, if it's Dodgers.

• 28:40Speaker 00

  I will not be rooting for the Dodgers in the world series. That's for sure. I would definitely be rooting for the Rays, uh, over them.

• 28:46Speaker 03

  If it's Dodgers versus Rays.

• 28:48Speaker 05

  Dodgers, White Sox.

• 28:49Speaker 00

  I'll just be like, uh, I'll just be like, whatever. I don't care. Like whatever happens, happens. If it's just kind of remove myself mentally from it.

• 28:57Speaker 03

  Dodgers, Rays, that is the ultimate, like, which way is going to be the future of baseball? Cause everyone's going to make it mean something. So if the Rays win the world series, it's like baseball's not broken.

• 29:07Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 29:07Speaker 03

  Small market teams, uh, they can win too. Owners will be like, we don't have to spend that, that much. Look at what the Rays do. If the Dodgers win, then the owners will be like, baseball is broken, lockout.

• 29:18Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yep. We're going to get a lockout anyway. Oh, although we do have new rules that we're taking away baseball games, which are actually, I'm fine with that.

• 29:25Speaker 03

  Hundred fifty-four.

• 29:25Speaker 00

  Hundred fifty-four.

• 29:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 29:26Speaker 00

  And then what would it be? Uh, you can pick your own opponent. So basically reseating, which they should have been doing forever because.

• 29:34Speaker 05

  I think, I think basketball should do this too.

• 29:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 29:37Speaker 04

  Pick your own opponent is fun.

• 29:38Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 29:39Speaker 04

  Because that great bulletin board material.

• 29:41Speaker 00

  Calling them out.

• 29:42Speaker 05

  And it like, it gives the teams at the top a reason to like, fight towards the end too.

• 29:47Speaker 00

  And is it also the DS would be seven games? Was that the other change?

• 29:50Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 29:51Speaker 00

  Which I agree with that.

• 29:52Speaker 03

  I agree too.

• 29:53Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's way better.

• 29:55Speaker 04

  Well, yeah, that if you're doing less games.

• 29:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 29:57Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's good.

• 29:58Speaker 00

  Yeah, you'll start the playoffs like a little bit earlier in September. Um, yeah, I'm cool with that. Sounds good to me.

• 30:04Speaker 03

  If we ever get there.

• 30:05Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, and then the last one, Guardians tie the series two, two with the White Sox. It felt like the Sox just ran out of like their, their bullpen just ran out of gas because they've been going bullpen, just throwing their bullpen at, at the Guardians. And they had one horrific inning that just sunk them. And now we're going to a game five. And I don't know. I mean, I think these two teams are pretty even, but it's just like, how much, how much do the White Sox have left in the tank? When it comes to like their pitching at this point. But again, their pitching wasn't even like, their pitching was, was a problem, but that one inning where they just, I know, I know they weren't technically errors, but there was, uh, a, a missed ball in right field and then.

• 30:49Speaker 05

  You can touch it, you can catch it.

• 30:50Speaker 00

  Touch, you can catch it. And then a, a kick ball and a, a second base, and it just kind of all kind of unraveled from there.

• 30:57Speaker 03

  Yeah, the sixth inning.

• 30:58Speaker 00

  Yeah. The guard, I mean, I don't, I still don't know if the Guardians are good, but they, listen, they came to, that's an intimidating place to play. The White Sox, like, Rate Field looked awesome. They did the blackout. They brought back the, the Pirates of Caribbean intro, which is cool. And they went in there and they took two games and now they get to go home and, and play a game five.

• 31:20Speaker 03

  There's something fun about like the, the White, White Sox stadium when everybody in the crowd in the wintertime or in the fall is wearing, you know, black or dark colors. It looks like an EPL game.

• 31:29Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:30Speaker 03

  In the stands.

• 31:30Speaker 00

  No, it's intimidating, but it wasn't intimidating for the Guardians.

• 31:33Speaker 03

  Shout out to Sam Antonacci.

• 31:35Speaker 00

  Yeah, cheeked up.

• 31:36Speaker 03

  Cheeked up, got hit right in the ass, bases loaded, hit by pitch. And that's the second game in a row. He's had that.

• 31:43Speaker 00

  Cheeked up.

• 31:43Speaker 03

  I think that's the first time in baseball history that somebody has had back to back hit by pitches, RBI, bases loaded.

• 31:51Speaker 00

  Yeah. And I also think, well, I, I think we said that Jose Ramirez was just doing nothing in the first two games. He showed up for these two games in, uh, Chicago because he hit, he hit a, I think he went two for, he went two for four on Wednesday night with two RBIs. Then he hit a big two run homer to go up three, two tonight. So he's been, that's, that's, he's been looking a lot better. Uh, yeah, he, he, he had another big night. So I'm excited. Game five.

• 32:20Speaker 03

  Are there just gonna be, like this, this series, is it just gonna be a series of, uh, like the last two games are just gonna be nothing but bullpen games?

• 32:28Speaker 00

  Well, no, Gavin Williams is still, I mean, he pitched tonight in the ninth, but Gavin Williams is, is gonna probably pitch for the Guardians, start for the Guardians.

• 32:35Speaker 03

  He's gonna, he's gonna start even though he pitched?

• 32:37Speaker 00

  Yeah. I think that was his scheduled bullpen day. He threw 11 strikeouts in the first game. He was awesome.

• 32:42Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 32:42Speaker 00

  So, and the Guardians are going with starters. It's just the, the White Sox have just been throwing everything they have at them. Uh, and again, they just kind of ran out of gas, but they get an off day and we'll see Saturday night will be fun.

• 32:54Speaker 03

  I guess they have been going with starters, but, but Messick, he was there for like two innings tonight, right?

• 32:57Speaker 00

  Yeah. Well, he didn't have it.

• 32:58Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:59Speaker 00

  Yeah. He looked like shit. He, he actually, I think he still had like six or seven strikeouts, but he just didn't have it. He was kind of all over the place. Uh, okay.

• 33:07Speaker 03

  Yeah. Cleveland had eight pitchers.

• 33:09Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Uh, yeah.

• 33:12Speaker 05

  Just before we sign off, uh, Max, Max Holma, I've ever heard of him is playing in the Bay Current Classic. And since we started recording this podcast, he's already three holes in a row.

• 33:21Speaker 00

  And what, is he in first?

• 33:22Speaker 05

  He's in seventh.

• 33:23Speaker 04

  Are they playing, have they played them on the broadcast?

• 33:26Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 33:27Speaker 00

  You saw him? You're looking at your phone right now. It seems like you hadn't seen him.

• 33:30Speaker 04

  No.

• 33:31Speaker 00

  Do you happen to have a bet on this tournament?

• 33:33Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 33:34Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 33:35Speaker 05

  Max Holma.

• 33:36Speaker 03

  Hank, should you just keep doing the podcast by yourself until Max Holma doesn't?

• 33:39Speaker 05

  Max Grayson, Max out, Max. Real Max.

• 33:42Speaker 00

  You love our guys.

• 33:43Speaker 05

  Not fake Max.

• 33:43Speaker 00

  You always love our guys.

• 33:46Speaker 05

  I do love our guys. I love Max.

• 33:47Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 33:48Speaker 04

  Love you too, dude.

• 33:49Speaker 00

  Let's kick it to ourselves.

• 33:53Speaker 05

  Not Christopher.

• 33:55Speaker 03

  You didn't put, you didn't insert LeBron into it.

• 33:56Speaker 05

  Five.

• 33:57Speaker 04

  You didn't insert the Wizards. You just, you, you just did that because you want to talk about the Wizards.

• 34:00Speaker 03

  I, I literally don't want to talk about the Wizards.

• 34:02Speaker 04

  Look at yourself.

• 34:04Speaker 03

  Oh yeah. I guess I, yeah, I guess so. We did beat the world champions.

• 34:07Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 34:08Speaker 03

  So I guess that makes us world champions.

• 34:11Speaker 04

  Preseason there, little feller.

• 34:13Speaker 00

  A leading, a leading question. Hey, what about the Sixers?

• 34:16Speaker 03

  No, I was asking about LeBron. I was asking about LeBron if he had any LeBron updates.

• 34:21Speaker 00

  Oh, all right. Let's kick it to ourselves. Week five picks and preview, and then a great interview with Anthony Rizzo and Fire Fest. Okay.

Reese's is the official candy partner of Barstool Sports. Go get a Reese's wherever you shop today. All right, boys. Week five picks and preview. Week five. Almost a third of the way through the season, which is kind of crazy. It feels like we just started.

• 36:49Speaker 03

  I know. And it's, uh,

• 36:50Speaker 04

  We're just getting started.

• 36:52Speaker 03

  If you look at the, the numbers out there, if you look at the records of some of these teams, there's a lot of good two and two teams.

• 36:59Speaker 00

  There's a lot of bad two and two teams too.

• 37:01Speaker 03

  And a lot of good two and two teams.

• 37:02Speaker 00

  Yeah. Can go both ways.

• 37:04Speaker 03

  There might even be a good 0-14.

• 37:06Speaker 00

  Yeah. I mean, I'm, I, I've been preaching by, by Chargers Texans. No, definitely not the Chargers. Absolutely not the Chargers. Uh, all right. Let's, let's get into it.

• 37:15Speaker 03

  Maybe the Chargers.

• 37:17Speaker 00

  You think the Chargers are good?

• 37:18Speaker 03

  Absolutely not.

• 37:19Speaker 00

  Yeah. Okay. Good. I was gonna say like, we need to check you for something. Is it like, give you a concussion? We should actually, we should have like a, a concussion blue tent for takes.

• 37:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:29Speaker 00

  Like, hey, you, you said the Chargers are good. We're gonna need you, we, we got the spotter here. We're gonna need you to go into the tent real quick.

• 37:36Speaker 03

  I mean, the entire podcast should be done out of, yeah, tent. Yeah.

• 37:39Speaker 00

  Okay. Speaking of two and two teams and whether they're good or bad, we will start with the international game. Yes, we were doing an international game again. Fuck you, Hank.

• 37:48Speaker 05

  Fuck yeah, bro.

• 37:49Speaker 00

  The Eagles plus seven and a half. I think it's all the way out to.

• 37:53Speaker 04

  Oh, love it.

• 37:54Speaker 00

  Over, under 41 and a half. Max has been doing, uh, Max has been basically going back and forth where the season was over, the team stinks. Now, and I like this, I appreciate this from Max. He's now getting mad at all the disrespect the Eagles are getting, that people are saying the season's over. And he's come all the way back around. He's like, we're gonna fucking win this game.

• 38:16Speaker 04

  Well, now it's a different outlook on the season.

• 38:18Speaker 00

  Yeah. Tell us.

• 38:19Speaker 03

  He's not supposed to do it.

• 38:20Speaker 04

  The last time the Eagles are seven and a half point favorites, I don't have the stat. I'm going to go with eight years ago.

• 38:25Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 38:26Speaker 04

  The last time, or seven and a half point dogs. There's, the outlook towards the future of the Philadelphia Eagles this season is no longer what it was at the beginning of the season.

• 38:36Speaker 00

  It's bad.

• 38:37Speaker 04

  It's bad. People think that they're going to be bad now and I love it. I'm ready to scrap. I'm ready to scrap. The Cam Jergens trade, he was a great player for, for us for, for a long time. Helped win us a Super Bowl. Thank, also thank you, Cam Jergens, for everything that you've done for the Eagles. Great haul in return. And didn't really lose that much. Drew Kendall had replaced him at center and has, had done a better job than him. If, if you, if you just look at the stats of the last two years, Landon Dickerson is going to be coming back from IR soon. So there was a chance that Cam Jergens wasn't even going to start and you got a second round pick for him.

• 39:16Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. You, you, the trade goes, Howie Roseman spent a 2022 first and second rounder on AJ Brown and Cam Jergens. They won a Super Bowl, key pieces to a Super Bowl in 2024. Then he flipped them for a first and second rounder in the 2028 NFL Draft. That's good business.

• 39:33Speaker 04

  That's good business.

• 39:34Speaker 00

  That's good business.

• 39:35Speaker 04

  And I'm, and I don't think that, a lot of people have said, all right, it's a hard rebuild, hard, hard rebuild, hard rebuild. Disagree. This team is still going to scrap and the team is going to cover seven and a half this weekend. I'm, I'm very, very much looking forward to the Eagles competing this weekend in London.

• 39:52Speaker 03

  Soft rebuild.

• 39:54Speaker 04

  Soft, yes. I'm, yeah, I'm, I'm all right with a soft rebuild.

• 39:56Speaker 03

  We're doing a soft rebuild. Um, I, I told Max this yesterday and actually, you know what? Take your headphones off, Max.

• 40:04Speaker 03

  This pisses me off so bad because the Eagles are absolutely doing a very, very smart thing by entering rebuild mode now. So many, so many bad franchises and I root for many, so I understand what they look like. Would see a team like this and say, we're still in our window. Let's just keep doing what we're doing and let's do it harder. We still got a chance to win. Why we no sense in giving up on this season. The writing's on the wall. Howie Roseman sees it immediately and he's like, okay, rebuild mode. We're going to start. If anything, maybe a little bit early on the rebuild and we're going to reload. And by the time that other teams would just be entering really the rebuild, they'll be ready to win again. And it pisses me off.

• 40:42Speaker 00

  Not only that.

• 40:43Speaker 03

  He understands that.

• 40:44Speaker 00

  Yeah, you're right. Not only that, but you can already tell Max has been, um, you can actually put it back on for this. You can put it back on. Max has been freed from the shackles of expectations.

• 40:55Speaker 03

  So yeah, they got to make him play quarterback is what I was saying.

• 40:57Speaker 00

  Yeah. And yeah, yeah. But Max has been freed from the shackles of expectations. He is now entering a world where he will not, if the Eagles lose a game, he'll be like, well, we're, we're not, we're rebuilding. And if they win a game, he's the scrappy underdog. I kind of hate this for us.

• 41:13Speaker 03

  I know.

• 41:13Speaker 00

  You know, he no longer is going to be, there's no longer the Eagles have the best roster in football and this team is built to win a title. No, they're, they're in transition. Their offensive line is going to be remarkably different. Uh, Lane Johnson is a big loss. They have a young receiver core outside Devante Smith. They're trying to work in. Saquon is hurt. Max gets to play underdog.

• 41:34Speaker 04

  I know. It's exciting. I haven't been able to play underdog in a while and I think it's going to be fun. Mr. Commenter.

• 41:38Speaker 03

  Yeah. I have a question, uh, Mr. Max. Is it interesting at all that Howie seems to be focusing on loading up on 2028 assets?

• 41:49Speaker 04

  No, that's also good business. Uh, we have two, two years until we can get out of the Jalen Hurts contract. You're loading up on 2028. You need to see what you have in-house up until then, because 2028 could be a big transition year. Jalen Hurts still has all the ability to prove that he is the long-term answer at quarterback in Philadelphia.

• 42:09Speaker 03

  Cause it kind of seems like Howie's made up his mind that 2028, we're moving on.

• 42:13Speaker 04

  2028 is a decision where you can move on. So why wouldn't you build for that year? And if you don't need to move on, then oh, oh no, now we have assets that we can build around Jalen Hurts. It's a win-win.

• 42:25Speaker 00

  Who would you rather be your quarterback going for Joe Burrow or Jalen Hurts?

• 42:31Speaker 04

  Jalen Hurts.

• 42:32Speaker 00

  Okay. That's a lie.

• 42:33Speaker 03

  Yeah. I mean, I, I don't see.

• 42:34Speaker 04

  I mean.

• 42:34Speaker 03

  Are the Bengals trying to move on from Joe in 2028?

• 42:37Speaker 00

  There's just a question about Joe Burrow this year. If the Bengals don't go to, you know, the playoffs, now the Eagles.

• 42:44Speaker 04

  Who's had better playoff success?

• 42:46Speaker 00

  No, no, but, oh, wait, I'm not, I, you, I just asked a question. Would you rather have Joe Burrow or Jalen?

• 42:52Speaker 04

  Yeah. Answer the question.

• 42:53Speaker 00

  Yeah. Okay.

• 42:54Speaker 03

  But you don't get paid for what you've done in the past.

• 42:56Speaker 04

  Right.

• 42:58Speaker 04

  Then Patrick Mahomes is nothing.

• 43:00Speaker 03

  I guess Vlad Jr.

• 43:02Speaker 00

  Patrick Mahomes was just born.

• 43:03Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 43:04Speaker 00

  Today.

• 43:05Speaker 03

  Patrick Mahomes is the most underplayed person, I think in the world.

• 43:09Speaker 00

  I like that idea that we're just judge literally nothing you have done.

• 43:13Speaker 03

  Nothing's happened.

• 43:14Speaker 00

  Every day is a brand new day. It's the first day on earth.

• 43:17Speaker 03

  There's just as much of a chance that, that Patrick Mahomes wins a Superbowl as I do as a quarterback. We don't know. It hasn't happened yet.

• 43:23Speaker 00

  Uh, all right. So Eagles are going to look totally different. I actually kind of agree that like the line has gotten a little out of hand. The Jaguars are really, really good. The Jaguars are inching closer and closer to like, hey, this team. I mean, I think we're, we're already there as a podcast and I don't know if the national media will ever get there, but like, they've just been consistently extremely good for a large sample size now. And their defense like is, has been really good. Uh, red zone defense, taking the ball away. Travis Hunter looks like a shutdown corner now that he's playing only corner. And Liam Cohen's a great coach and Trevor Lawrence is playing great. Are the Jaguars playing back-to-back London games?

• 44:04Speaker 03

  They are. Yes. And they're going to be the home team in both of them, which rarely happens. They usually make them be the road team in one. So it's weird. They're going to be playing, I believe in two different stadiums in London, but they're going to be the home team both times.

• 44:15Speaker 00

  As much as I would like to take the Eagles plus seven and a half of the thing, the fact that they're flying on Friday scares me.

• 44:20Speaker 03

  It is. It's very strange that they're doing that.

• 44:22Speaker 04

  But Willie Lampkin is, uh, starting at left guard and his nickname in practice so far this week has been a bowling ball of knives.

• 44:31Speaker 00

  So that has nothing to do with us, him flying on Friday.

• 44:34Speaker 04

  But he's still a bowling ball of knives.

• 44:36Speaker 00

  But I said Fri- they're flying on Friday. He said, but Willie Lampkin.

• 44:40Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 44:41Speaker 03

  Can you question?

• 44:41Speaker 00

  Bowling ball of knives is a good nickname.

• 44:42Speaker 04

  He's a short, he's the greatest offensive lineman in Philadelphia in 68 years, I believe.

• 44:47Speaker 03

  Not functional at all.

• 44:49Speaker 00

  What?

• 44:49Speaker 03

  A ball, yeah, it wouldn't roll.

• 44:52Speaker 03

  If you tried to roll a bowling ball full of knives, either the knives would all break off or the ball would stop.

• 44:56Speaker 00

  Oh, I didn't think about rolling. I, I thought about throwing it at someone.

• 45:01Speaker 03

  Oh yeah. I mean, I guess. How hard can you throw a bowling ball? Yeah, they roll.

• 45:04Speaker 00

  What?

• 45:05Speaker 03

  How hard can you throw a bowling ball?

• 45:06Speaker 00

  Don't really have to when it's full of knives.

• 45:08Speaker 04

  Yeah. Maybe you can't throw.

• 45:10Speaker 00

  I wouldn't even have to throw it.

• 45:12Speaker 04

  Skimpy little bitch.

• 45:13Speaker 03

  How would you throw a bowling?

• 45:15Speaker 00

  What? You just said catch. It's just a bowling ball of knives.

• 45:17Speaker 03

  How would you throw it?

• 45:19Speaker 00

  Oh, what do you mean?

• 45:19Speaker 03

  I would just throw it.

• 45:20Speaker 04

  You've never done a med ball toss. This is a guy who's never done.

• 45:23Speaker 03

  Well, if it's.

• 45:23Speaker 00

  Have you never done a med ball toss?

• 45:25Speaker 03

  A med ball toss with knives? If it's got knives all over, you wouldn't be able to.

• 45:28Speaker 00

  I would assume there'd be a place where there would be no knives.

• 45:30Speaker 03

  So then you just catch it there too. So it's not full of knives. There's a bowling ball with a lot of knives on it, but.

• 45:35Speaker 00

  No, no, dude, where your finger, I could throw a bowling ball.

• 45:38Speaker 03

  Handi coordination dude, read a book. I'm with Hank. It doesn't sound like it's functional.

• 45:42Speaker 00

  I sound, it sounds like Hank would die if I tossed him a bowling ball full of knives.

• 45:45Speaker 03

  No, I would just catch it where you.

• 45:47Speaker 04

  We got to make a bowling ball full of knives.

• 45:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, we do. It's the same as the watermelon video you guys did.

• 45:51Speaker 04

  Yeah, we're going to have to make a bowling ball.

• 45:52Speaker 00

  Zach, get on it.

• 45:53Speaker 04

  And I get to throw it at Hank and he gets to catch it.

• 45:55Speaker 03

  You can't, you can't bring a bowling ball full of knives on an airplane though. With handles.

• 45:58Speaker 00

  Well, but they're leaving Friday.

• 46:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, but you can't fly.

• 46:02Speaker 00

  I know.

• 46:02Speaker 03

  Carry on.

• 46:03Speaker 00

  Friday.

• 46:04Speaker 03

  I'll just stand 20 feet away, Max. Maybe check it and hope they don't, they don't examine the luggage.

• 46:09Speaker 04

  Yeah. It's a practice aid. You don't get to stand 20 feet away on the line.

• 46:14Speaker 03

  It's also true. A lot of good football points are being. But you couldn't throw like, what's, how, how fast could you throw something one, one inch?

• 46:23Speaker 04

  Pretty fast.

• 46:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, really fast. That's actually. I would just block your, I'd block your arm. Hank, you're losing this, this part of it. When he wound up, I would just block his arm now. You were talking about the physics of it. Now.

• 46:32Speaker 00

  Yeah, like the knives covering them all.

• 46:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 46:35Speaker 04

  Scrap. I'm ready to scrap. Scrappy underdog Philadelphia Eagles.

• 46:39Speaker 00

  Okay. Let's get out of England. Uh, we'll go to, to, to the U S and we'll start with Bears Packers. Packers are right now plus one and a half, over/under is 45 and a half. I'm excited and also nervous for this game. I'm nervous because I do think the Packers have a, uh, advantage in the fact that they are the desperate team and like, given what happened at the end of last year, there might be an extra, there's a lot of quotes coming back like Tucker Kraft talking about the little, let the pads talk. There, the Packers have finally, I don't think they realized they were in a fight until Ben Johnson shoved them in, in a locker and said, fuck the Packers last year. Now they know they're in a fight. How does that look?

• 47:23Speaker 03

  You probably know the answer to this, but maybe some people don't. Do you know the last time, I'll ask Hank. Hank, do you know the last time that the Bears were favored at Lambeau Field? 1999.

• 47:33Speaker 00

  No, it's gotta be like Rex, oh six.

• 47:36Speaker 03

  It's 2006. It was, I believe, week one of 2006. And that year, what did the Bears do?

• 47:42Speaker 00

  Went to the Superbowl.

• 47:42Speaker 03

  Went to the Superbowl. Uh, so yeah, it's been a while. The rivalry does feel like it's even now, like it's anybody's game. I mean, I don't hate the fact that Ben Johnson picked a fight.

• 47:52Speaker 00

  No, he should.

• 47:53Speaker 03

  It's good. It's, I think it's good for him. It's good for his team. He clearly likes having a chip on his shoulder. My question coming out of that, do you think the chip on Ben Johnson's shoulder has gotten too big now?

• 48:03Speaker 00

  No. How so?

• 48:05Speaker 03

  I was just thinking back to like, he got, he was mad that somebody reported that Tyson Bajent was going to start. So he was like, I'm going to show the media what's up. So I'm going to put two quarterbacks on the field.

• 48:17Speaker 00

  I don't think mad is the right word.

• 48:18Speaker 03

  Too much.

• 48:19Speaker 00

  No, I.

• 48:19Speaker 03

  And finding disrespect where it doesn't exist.

• 48:21Speaker 00

  No, I, his point was like, everyone decided for me who our starter was. So I'm showing you how ridiculous the media is.

• 48:28Speaker 03

  Yeah, but I get, what I'm saying is like, does, is he listening too much to things?

• 48:32Speaker 00

  I don't think that's.

• 48:33Speaker 03

  If he's, if he's gone to those depths.

• 48:34Speaker 00

  No, because I think listen, like I don't see that as him listening. Everyone was reporting that it was going to be Tyson Bajent. I don't think he's like tuning into, to radio and TV. Like everyone was saying it.

• 48:48Speaker 03

  Right.

• 48:48Speaker 00

  He was just like, okay, Case Keenum is. And he also said it was like a passing of the torch.

• 48:52Speaker 03

  But I think most coaches would just be like, okay, well they, yeah, they know. And he wouldn't like roll two of them out there.

• 48:59Speaker 00

  Yeah, it was one play. I, I, it didn't, it didn't register as anything more than one play.

• 49:04Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 49:04Speaker 00

  Yeah. I don't think he's thinking about it.

• 49:08Speaker 00

  One play didn't, if he like, had been like, we're going to start Case Keenum for a quarter. Just to try to stick it to people. That would be weird, but it was, yeah.

• 49:15Speaker 03

  Cause I like, I like the chip on his shoulder. I just want to make sure he doesn't have too many chips.

• 49:19Speaker 00

  How many people do you think on, uh, Facebook have shared the Ben Johnson AI video of him crushing a Coke can being like, this is the Packers and the Bears in my hand. Cause I saw it yesterday. I was like, this is going to get a lot of people.

• 49:30Speaker 03

  I, I haven't seen that.

• 49:31Speaker 00

  There's got to be at least, they're actually, I think so, uh, there's, uh, elections are coming up. I really wish we could get that as a question on the like, the, the Illinois election sheet. When you show up, be like, did Ben Johnson crush a Coke can?

• 49:45Speaker 03

  Is this real?

• 49:45Speaker 00

  And then anyone who says yes, we just don't count their vote.

• 49:48Speaker 03

  How realistic?

• 49:48Speaker 00

  Can you find it, Max? Max isn't listening. He's done.

• 49:52Speaker 00

  He was literally like, Max was like, looking like he was going to make out with memes. He had a, his full body turned to memes.

• 49:58Speaker 03

  What's going on?

• 49:58Speaker 04

  I was looking at the bet percentages of the Eagles.

• 50:01Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 50:01Speaker 04

  Jaguars. We, you, I'm sorry.

• 50:03Speaker 00

  Okay. Can you find the Coke can video? Just do, uh, Ben Johnson Coke can. It's the most AI video. And I think it's a lot of people on Facebook, 60 plus.

• 50:17Speaker 03

  Sounds like you might've fallen for it.

• 50:18Speaker 00

  No, I, Hank, watch this video and tell me if you thought this was real for a second. You got to turn on the.

• 50:24Speaker 03

  Looks like he's at a press conference.

• 50:25Speaker 00

  You got to turn this out. Go back. You're doing a terrible job.

• 50:30Speaker 04

  What are the Bears' expectations versus the Packers this week?

• 50:36Speaker 00

  So this is the Packers and my hand is the Bears. Hank.

• 50:46Speaker 00

  Hey.

• 50:49Speaker 00

  It's a banger on Facebook.

• 50:51Speaker 03

  Next question.

• 50:51Speaker 00

  You think that I thought that was. Hey, that's the fakest video ever.

• 50:57Speaker 05

  I've seen Faker.

• 50:58Speaker 00

  Okay. The whales?

• 51:00Speaker 05

  That was real.

• 51:02Speaker 00

  Uh.

• 51:03Speaker 05

  Have you seen the videos of the people jumping off of like a hundred foot helicopters on trampolines then bouncing back up?

• 51:09Speaker 03

  Those are real.

• 51:10Speaker 00

  That's cool.

• 51:11Speaker 05

  Those are sick.

• 51:11Speaker 00

  Or the guy who has like pounds and pounds of popcorn and he drops it into a active volcano. And he just shoots out popcorn. That's real. Uh, are you guys, what do you guys think about this game? Are you taking the Packers and the?

• 51:26Speaker 05

  Home dogs, man. Right. Home division dogs rivalry like is, is tough to not take in if you're an underdog connoisseur.

• 51:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think I'm going to take.

• 51:37Speaker 05

  It's kind of like a system play. No offense.

• 51:39Speaker 03

  It makes sense.

• 51:40Speaker 00

  No, I, I'm not offended by that. I, I, I'm a little nervous about this game and one, the Bears defenses looked a lot better, but it also the home road splits last year were stark. This year there, it's only one road game, but they still gave up a lot of points. The Panthers looked good the last three weeks, haven't really played great quarterbacks when Gino, Carson Wentz and Jalen Hurts. So how's it going to look when you play a real offense, real quarterback? And then also there is a, when you have a backup quarterback and it's no knock on Tyson Bejager or Case Keenum, but when you have a backup quarterback, you can win a game, the first game you can win by kind of doing something different. Then Tate comes out and it's like, oh, these guys are backups for reasons, you know?

• 52:24Speaker 03

  Right.

• 52:25Speaker 00

  So it does, it makes it a little bit harder.

• 52:26Speaker 03

  I, I, I'm going to believe in the Bears offense until proven otherwise. It doesn't matter who they're starting under center. It could be the, whoever the emergency backup quarterback is going to be. I don't know who your, your fourth stringer would be in this case. Uh, but I'm going to believe in them until I see a clunker of a game come out. So I guess all that's to say, I don't know what it's going to look like, but I do think there's going to be a lot of points.

• 52:45Speaker 00

  I would be.

• 52:46Speaker 03

  I think the over is, is where I'm going to be leaning the Packers. They've looked like doo doo, but at home they tend to score points still. And the Bears obviously give up a lot of points on the road and the offense is going to look good until further notice. So I'm, I'm, I'm going to trust in Ben Johnson's offense and I am going to, uh, believe that that's going to, that part of the game is going to be efficient for the Bears. But I, I still don't know about the defense on the road right.

• 53:12Speaker 00

  Yeah, I, I, I'll, I'll leave, I'll, I'll end with this. I, I am in, it's a weird spot to be in that like, I expect the Bears to win this game. So I'm not like emotionally hedging and being like, oh, we probably won't win. It's bad. No, no, I expect the Bears to win this game. I think the Bears are the better football team. If they do not win this game, I'll be wildly, wildly disappointed. Uh, so I expect them to win this game.

• 53:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, I, I hope that they win. I, I placed, I'm in your hole, big cat. I officially came in big cats hole this week. Took two bets futures on the Superbowl, the Jaguars, like I alluded to earlier in the week, I full on believe in the Jaguars now. And the Bears, watching what Ben Johnson's done with backup quarterbacks tells me that he's got it, he's got it going on. Like there's something that he's doing that's working. He is dialed in right now. When Caleb gets back, it's going to be even better. Um, and then I do think that with the defense, even though it doesn't look great, they've turned the ball over a little bit, uh, which is good, but I think they've got such a, they've got a good coach on defense.

• 54:09Speaker 00

  Yeah, no, Dennis Allen's great on third downs, great in the red zone.

• 54:12Speaker 03

  And my theory is that as the weather turns and they, they have the consistency of that coach, they're, the defense is going to improve as the season goes on, not get worse. So I, I think that the Bears are legitimate superbowl caliber team right now.

• 54:27Speaker 00

  We'll see. Yeah. I mean, I have a future on them as well. A very large future. I believe in them. I believe in Ben Johnson. All right. Texans, uh, Titans. Yuck. What do you guys make of this game? Titans are seven and a half point underdogs, 38 and a half. Titans have, or Texans have to win this game, right? And win it handily.

• 54:48Speaker 03

  They have to. They have to win this game. I don't. So the line, I believe earlier in the week, it was even like Texans, six and a half.

• 54:56Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 54:57Speaker 03

  So the, the bets have come in now they're, I think seven and a half point favors.

• 55:01Speaker 00

  Tank Dell might be back.

• 55:02Speaker 03

  Right now on the road. So that's, that's the big part is Tank Dell might be back and the offenses look pretty good. Um, so D'Amico Ryan says that he is going to take back defensive play calling this week.

• 55:11Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 55:12Speaker 03

  Which that tells me like, okay, uh, the bad man's back.

• 55:16Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 55:16Speaker 03

  Like the, the real principle is here. I don't know what you guys did when the assistant principal was running things, but, um, I do trust in D'Amico Ryan's defense.

• 55:24Speaker 00

  Yeah. I, uh, I found a quote, I agree with you. That's also, is it too early to hit that button? I don't know. They, they ran out of time. They have to do it.

• 55:33Speaker 03

  Yeah. I mean, no, it's, I think it, it feels like it is early because it's only four games.

• 55:37Speaker 00

  But it's not because.

• 55:38Speaker 03

  But it's not, it's everything. It might be too late.

• 55:40Speaker 00

  Yeah, right.

• 55:40Speaker 03

  They did it. And that was your strength. And like, I think we, we also talked about this on Monday, but, um, giving up that many catches to, to C D Lamb. At some point, you're, you're an elite defense. You have to make some sort of change. And that I think told D'Amico Ryan's, okay, well, I, it's time for, time for me to take it back.

• 55:57Speaker 00

  I got no interest in watching the Titans play football. I know that's mean, but it's just the facts. They're just a bummer. Uh, I also found Robert Sala had a quote, uh, on par with Hank saying that he is, uh, was going to dunk or get a six pack. Robert Sala would ask about whether an own four team can make the playoffs in today's NFL. He said, I think anything is achievable.

• 56:22Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 56:22Speaker 00

  Maybe actually now that I'm saying, maybe the reporter was asking him about the Texans. They're like, hey, Bob Sala, do you think the Texans can still make the, the playoffs?

• 56:31Speaker 03

  What was the?

• 56:32Speaker 00

  That is achievable. The Titans making the playoffs is not achievable.

• 56:35Speaker 03

  What was the context? Did the reporter just say like a hypothetical own four team?

• 56:40Speaker 00

  But how funny would it be if he was like, hey, uh, I know you, I know we're here to talk about your team, but what do you think about the Texans? Could they make the playoffs?

• 56:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 56:46Speaker 00

  After they beat you this weekend?

• 56:48Speaker 03

  The worst would be if it was just like, do you think an own four team can turn it around? And in his mind, he thought that they were asking.

• 56:54Speaker 00

  Yeah, right.

• 56:54Speaker 03

  About the Texans. He's like, oh yeah, that team. Yes. Absolutely. They, they definitely can.

• 56:58Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, I, I, I, yeah, I just, they're a bummer to watch. I think this will be, we have set, do we have seven games? So this will be on one of the small TVs. That's, this is, it would actually be nice if the Texans could just beat them handily and we don't even have to look at this game.

• 57:14Speaker 04

  Eight games.

• 57:15Speaker 00

  Eight games.

• 57:16Speaker 04

  Eight noon games.

• 57:17Speaker 00

  Eight noon games.

• 57:18Speaker 03

  The weather channel dunked on this game.

• 57:20Speaker 00

  What'd they say?

• 57:21Speaker 03

  It was like the NFL memes account or whatever. They're like, they should flex this game to the weather channel.

• 57:25Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 57:25Speaker 03

  And the weather channel said, uh, no, thanks.

• 57:28Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 57:28Speaker 03

  Weather channel turned it down. Uh, let me just say like, I know weather, like people like the weather. There's a bunch of weather freaks out there. You think you're bigger than the NFL? You think you're bigger than football weather?

• 57:39Speaker 00

  Yeah, you take this game.

• 57:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 57:41Speaker 00

  You take this.

• 57:41Speaker 03

  You take this game in a heartbeat.

• 57:43Speaker 00

  Uh, Cam Ward with, uh, he has three touchdown passes this season. Three touchdown passes, his three touchdown passes this season. When he was down 20 with two 42 left versus the Jets. When they were down 12 with 535 left versus the Giants. And when they were down 14 with one 12 left against the Ravens.

• 58:05Speaker 03

  Mm hmm.

• 58:06Speaker 00

  Those are his three touchdown passes.

• 58:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, not, not great.

• 58:08Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:09Speaker 03

  Not great. Um, I think, I think Sala and D'Amico Ryans are, are probably maybe the two closest friends that have to coach against each other twice a year.

• 58:20Speaker 00

  Ooh.

• 58:21Speaker 03

  Like Shanahan and McVeigh, I, I.

• 58:22Speaker 00

  There's like a frenemy kind of thing.

• 58:24Speaker 03

  Frenemy, but like mutual respect also, uh, but those two, I feel like they're, they're close, close friends.

• 58:30Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:31Speaker 03

  Like they're probably, I wouldn't be surprised if Sala calls up D'Amico Ryan to ask him for advice.

• 58:35Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:36Speaker 03

  This week going against the Texans.

• 58:37Speaker 00

  Actually, uh, Ben Johnson and Dan Campbell might be in that group.

• 58:42Speaker 03

  Are they still close?

• 58:42Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:43Speaker 03

  They're good? Okay.

• 58:44Speaker 00

  I, I mean, he, he speaks, you actually saw after the, I think anyone from the Lions day for Ben Johnson, after the, uh, Jets game, he went up to Aaron Glenn, was like, I love you. You guys are, you guys are close. Like you could tell he was, he was showing respect by running the ball out at the end of the half, at the end of the game. Um, okay. The next game, this one, I have no idea what to make of it. It is the Bengals and the Dolphins, the Bengals and the Dolphins, the Dolphins are a plus six and a half. Uh, that's plus 100. So it's probably a seven. Over under is 42 and a half.

• 59:17Speaker 00

  I don't know. I, I really don't know what to make of the Bengals. I think they're good, but the last two games have been very frustrating to watch. Uh, I know what to make of the Dolphins, the fact that they suck, they're young, but they've also shown a little bit more fight in the last two weeks versus the Chiefs and the Vikings than the first two weeks this season. So I don't know. I, I kind of like the Dolphins in this game. Is that crazy? Also they're going to be, the Bengals will be in the sun. You know, early, early Miami game.

• 59:43Speaker 03

  We have a temperature?

• 59:44Speaker 00

  Uh, I don't know.

• 59:44Speaker 03

  Temp check?

• 59:45Speaker 00

  I'm gonna guess hot.

• 59:46Speaker 03

  Probably going to be hot.

• 59:48Speaker 04

  91.

• 59:48Speaker 00

  That's hot.

• 59:49Speaker 03

  It's gonna be hot.

• 59:50Speaker 00

  I'm gonna put them in the sun.

• 59:51Speaker 03

  It's going to be very hot. I, I think that it's not crazy to believe a little bit in the Dolphins because the defense does look pretty good. They've got a lot of really young players on defense and a couple of really young, good players on defense. So this is a, a, a great thing that the Dolphins are doing this year. They're doing it the right way. This is, uh, they've got, they've got a plan in Miami and usually when you put in a plan like that, you will end up winning a couple of games against good teams. And so this does feel like, you said seven and a half now?

• 1:00:17Speaker 00

  It's seven.

• 1:00:18Speaker 03

  At seven, exactly. If it was seven and a half, I would say, yes, I would, I would take the Dolphins at seven. It's kind of close. I probably still would. Cause yeah, it's a home game. They played pretty good and I don't know if, uh, if Jamar Chase is going to play. Do we know?

• 1:00:31Speaker 00

  I don't think he is.

• 1:00:32Speaker 04

  I'd also like to further clarify the weather. The real feel will be a hundred and four.

• 1:00:36Speaker 00

  Whoa.

• 1:00:38Speaker 03

  How do they do real feel?

• 1:00:39Speaker 04

  Humidity, I think.

• 1:00:40Speaker 03

  Is it just a guy that goes outside? He's like, yeah, it's, uh, it's about a hundred four.

• 1:00:45Speaker 00

  Yeah. Guy walks out and he's like, oh, I need a coat. It's 52.

• 1:00:49Speaker 03

  Yeah. He walks outside, immediately takes his shirt off. That's when you know it's a hundred.

• 1:00:55Speaker 00

  Stan is you gotta get you gotta get a little sunlight when you get outside. Otherwise you get tricked by the shade. That happened to me the other day.

• 1:01:03Speaker 03

  What do you think it's cool?

• 1:01:04Speaker 00

  Yeah, I I know I went for a walk around my neighborhood and I wore a jacket because I thought it was cool.

• 1:01:10Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:01:10Speaker 00

  Got on the walk, way too hot.

• 1:01:12Speaker 03

  The sun hits you.

• 1:01:13Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:01:13Speaker 03

  It's different.

• 1:01:13Speaker 00

  So then I had to put my jacket around my waist like a like a little Princeton preppy.

• 1:01:18Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:01:19Speaker 00

  It's kind of a weird move, you know?

• 1:01:21Speaker 03

  Do we know if if Miami is necessarily that bad? Because all their all the teams that they've played against.

• 1:01:29Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:01:30Speaker 03

  They have great records.

• 1:01:31Speaker 00

  I think they're.

• 1:01:32Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:01:33Speaker 00

  Bad.

• 1:01:33Speaker 03

  All right, we're just hey, Hank, we're having the discussion.

• 1:01:35Speaker 00

  Hey, we're it's it's.

• 1:01:37Speaker 03

  You asked.

• 1:01:37Speaker 00

  Free flowing adult conversation here.

• 1:01:39Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 1:01:40Speaker 00

  I think they're. I'm closer to what PFT is saying. I think they're bad, but not as bad as we think.

• 1:01:45Speaker 03

  The the reason I would have a lot of hope if I was a Dolphins fan is number one, you're not going to fall into the like seven and 10 trap this year.

• 1:01:52Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:01:52Speaker 03

  You're gonna be bad. But again, you're playing a lot of really, really young players. Your coach seems to understand the assignment. And so far, even though it's it's early on in the season. They're a bad team, but they're playing hard.

• 1:02:04Speaker 00

  They're they're a bad football team. That could cover spreads north of seven. They've only covered once. But I think that they could cover spreads north of seven and like that Chiefs game. They lost 24 10. I think it was 17 10 in the fourth quarter or like right at the start of the fourth quarter. So it wasn't. Wasn't just like a total. Dog walking.

• 1:02:26Speaker 03

  This is a as close as we'll get to like an ethical tank job.

• 1:02:30Speaker 00

  Hmm. Yeah, yeah, they they went out and and and got a $60 million quarterback.

• 1:02:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:02:36Speaker 00

  New coach.

• 1:02:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:02:38Speaker 00

  They're like, hey, we just suck.

• 1:02:39Speaker 03

  They're doing it the right way.

• 1:02:40Speaker 00

  All their entire defense is young guys. Yeah, they are doing it the right way. Congrats to the Dolphins. An ethical tank job.

• 1:02:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, doing it. They get the doing it the right way of the year award.

• 1:02:50Speaker 00

  Yeah. All right. So Jamar Chase, do we have an update? I I think he's not. I think it usually takes a little bit of time in the concussion protocol when you're.

• 1:02:58Speaker 03

  I don't think that he is. It would be my guess.

• 1:03:00Speaker 00

  Where is he in the concussion protocol list? Uh. Uncertain for Sunday. Uh, yeah.

• 1:03:10Speaker 03

  I don't remember the last time a guy was uncertain with a concussion and then. It was like, oh, yeah, he's fine.

• 1:03:15Speaker 00

  It just depends on where he is in the protocol, but I feel like most of these concussions now it's like one at least a week injury.

• 1:03:23Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:03:24Speaker 00

  You know? Uh, okay, next game Raiders.

• 1:03:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:03:29Speaker 00

  At Patriots Hank.

• 1:03:33Speaker 00

  Oh, by the way, the Dolphins, we said this stat on Monday, but they're the first team through four weeks to score 14 or less points.

• 1:03:41Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:03:41Speaker 00

  In a game since the 2019 Dolphins. That's really bad. Hank.

• 1:03:48Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:03:48Speaker 00

  Raiders Patriots Patriots minus three and a half over under 45 and a half.

• 1:03:52Speaker 05

  Drake may never lost as a three pointer more favorite.

• 1:03:56Speaker 00

  Is that true?

• 1:03:57Speaker 05

  Yeah. 12 and 0.

• 1:03:59Speaker 00

  12 and 0.

• 1:04:02Speaker 00

  That's an impressive stat.

• 1:04:03Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:04:03Speaker 03

  It is.

• 1:04:04Speaker 05

  Best of all time, Super Bowl era.

• 1:04:06Speaker 03

  Is it really?

• 1:04:07Speaker 05

  I believe so.

• 1:04:08Speaker 03

  That's pretty crazy.

• 1:04:10Speaker 05

  I riding high, very excited for this game. And obviously the Raiders are a good team, surprisingly. But this does feel like a letdown, a letdown spot. I'm I'm excited. I feel like.

• 1:04:24Speaker 00

  For who?

• 1:04:24Speaker 05

  For the Patriots.

• 1:04:25Speaker 00

  Oh, okay. I thought you were saying for the Raiders, like.

• 1:04:28Speaker 05

  No, we're riding high.

• 1:04:29Speaker 00

  They played really hard.

• 1:04:30Speaker 05

  We're riding hard. We were we beat the Bills and we that last year that, you know, vaulted us into into the Super Bowl. Feels like that could happen again this year.

• 1:04:38Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 1:04:39Speaker 05

  But I'm just a little worried we're riding a little too high.

• 1:04:41Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:04:41Speaker 03

  Okay, yeah, the ups and downs of an NFL season for sure. And and Kirk Cousins is, uh. He's been playing really, really good.

• 1:04:48Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 1:04:49Speaker 05

  And Max Crosby scares scares me a lot.

• 1:04:51Speaker 00

  Oh, you should scare the fuck out of you. Well.

• 1:04:53Speaker 03

  Their their head coach also might have a blueprint.

• 1:04:57Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:04:58Speaker 03

  Super Bowl.

• 1:04:59Speaker 00

  Super Bowl.

• 1:04:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:05:00Speaker 00

  Clint Kubiak.

• 1:05:01Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:05:01Speaker 00

  Do we have? Do we have anything from Glenn?

• 1:05:05Speaker 03

  No, no.

• 1:05:07Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:05:08Speaker 03

  Now Hank made it pretty clear. That like he's not a fan of Glenn. And doesn't like his sense of humor or whatever. So. I don't know. Glenn's kind of going through his fields right now, so I think he's focusing.

• 1:05:18Speaker 05

  Damn, Glenn's getting lazy.

• 1:05:19Speaker 00

  Way to go Glenn or Hank, you ruined Glenn.

• 1:05:21Speaker 03

  He's not. Yeah.

• 1:05:22Speaker 05

  I didn't.

• 1:05:22Speaker 00

  Yeah, you said you didn't think it was funny. I thought it was funny.

• 1:05:25Speaker 03

  Glenn is, I think he's.

• 1:05:27Speaker 05

  Again, it's I said, I literally said it's a subjective thing. I'm I'm I appreciate that people enjoy it and there are a lot of things funny. I personally don't. That was not me just saying, don't do it.

• 1:05:36Speaker 03

  I think, well, listen, Glenn takes.

• 1:05:38Speaker 05

  Glenn can't take a little criticism, grow the fuck up, pussy. Grow the fuck up.

• 1:05:43Speaker 03

  Glenn has an issue.

• 1:05:45Speaker 05

  You think people don't like what I say on this show? I'm still here every, every, every Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday. I'm not scared of some criticism.

• 1:05:52Speaker 00

  There you go, Hank.

• 1:05:52Speaker 03

  Yeah, Glenn Glenn just has an issue like he listens too much.

• 1:05:56Speaker 05

  Tuesday, Thursday.

• 1:05:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:05:57Speaker 05

  That's what we record.

• 1:05:58Speaker 00

  I know, but the people only here Monday, Wednesday, Friday. But yeah, go ahead.

• 1:06:01Speaker 03

  He's he's also got an issue with, you know, some people hating on him and sometimes he gets in his film in his fields. And he retreats and I think he's got a country music album that's like kind of Jelly Rollish coming out. So I think he's just kind of focusing on. On the side quest right now because it seems like people online.

• 1:06:18Speaker 05

  Honestly, this feels like one of those like you. There's like a pump and dump. Like you, you Glenn was asking for subscribers and for people to pay for his services and shit and then he just stopped making.

• 1:06:27Speaker 03

  He's clearly not a fraudster. That was very clear in the last video. I there was so just because he owes some people money that he's actually working on paying back right now doesn't mean he's a fraudster. And he'll sue you. But yeah, no, he's just he's focusing on the music right now.

• 1:06:42Speaker 00

  It would be really funny if it was actually. PFT was like, remember that Bears Jaguars Super Bowl I bet I? That was I got it from Glenn through the people.

• 1:06:53Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:06:54Speaker 00

  Well, you're not Glenn, so.

• 1:06:55Speaker 03

  I'm not. No, I don't know who.

• 1:06:56Speaker 00

  Max would have done that.

• 1:06:57Speaker 03

  Max would have done.

• 1:06:58Speaker 00

  Max would have done.

• 1:06:58Speaker 03

  If anyone, he's Max, but I think Glenn's his own guy. And he's got, yeah, he's got. Actually, I listened to.

• 1:07:04Speaker 05

  How do you know he doesn't have anything coming out?

• 1:07:06Speaker 03

  Because he tweeted about it today.

• 1:07:08Speaker 00

  What was it? Said, hey, guys, no film breakdown this week. Unfortunately, there's too much negativity in this world. So diving back into my rap slash country album coming out soon. Numbers lie, women lie, but the tape never does. Thanks to all the film junkie tier subscribers. Hopefully get back soon to all 22.

• 1:07:24Speaker 05

  They didn't subscribe for your stupid country album. They subscribe whatever.

• 1:07:28Speaker 00

  He's Haka.

• 1:07:29Speaker 03

  You can, I mean, take it up with with Glenn. I don't know what to tell you. The song is kind of a banger.

• 1:07:36Speaker 05

  Uh, let's hear it.

• 1:07:41Speaker 07

  He'd still be running.

• 1:07:47Speaker 07

  Hit his head on the goalpost, man, he'd have it all. I love watching tape. I don't really like Drake.

• 1:07:58Speaker 00

  Schedule.

• 1:08:00Speaker 00

  What?

• 1:08:02Speaker 05

  Have you seen the schedule this year?

• 1:08:04Speaker 00

  Yeah, why?

• 1:08:05Speaker 05

  Have you seen the graph talk schedule?

• 1:08:07Speaker 00

  No, no.

• 1:08:08Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 1:08:08Speaker 00

  Let's hear it. Graph talk with Hank.

• 1:08:10Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:08:10Speaker 00

  Uh, now that Glenn's out, it would just this.

• 1:08:13Speaker 05

  That was my favorite Glenn content till the end of it. I like the I like this. He still be running the first half, second half.

• 1:08:20Speaker 00

  Schedule is a trigger for you.

• 1:08:21Speaker 05

  But.

• 1:08:22Speaker 00

  The word schedule.

• 1:08:23Speaker 05

  It's it's reverse graph talk reverse.

• 1:08:25Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:08:26Speaker 05

  The Patriots, uh.

• 1:08:30Speaker 05

  Oh, fuck.

• 1:08:32Speaker 03

  I gotta find it. I gotta be right. I gotta be right.

• 1:08:34Speaker 00

  I'm gonna give a stat.

• 1:08:35Speaker 05

  No, I.

• 1:08:36Speaker 00

  For my friends at Sports Info Solution, the Patriots run game is going up their bottom three zone rushing success rate against a top 10 Raiders defense so far. Remandre Stevenson possibly out, right? So that could be something to watch, especially if the weather's bad. Raiders are good. Raiders are, I don't know if the Raiders are gonna win this game because I also think the Patriots are good. But the Raiders are not like I. Of the surprise teams. In terms of like, will they last? Let's just do it real quick. Browns Raiders Giants. I would probably say Raiders.

• 1:09:13Speaker 00

  Then now it might they might. It's easier to make the playoffs in the NFC. But I think the Raiders are.

• 1:09:20Speaker 00

  More likely to be in to win more games than the other two.

• 1:09:24Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'd have to look at at what their schedule is.

• 1:09:26Speaker 00

  Although the Browns do have a good schedule.

• 1:09:28Speaker 03

  But I don't think that there's it's not like trickery going on. The only the only trickery that's going on is like Kirk Cousins is healthy.

• 1:09:35Speaker 00

  I think it might actually.

• 1:09:35Speaker 03

  Cousins is old and healthy at the same time. And how long is that gonna last?

• 1:09:39Speaker 00

  And it also might just be, uh, I did a confusing way of saying I strongly believe in Clint Kubiak.

• 1:09:46Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 1:09:46Speaker 00

  And I I think he is proven right away his worth and how they've raised the the floor of this organization.

• 1:09:54Speaker 03

  They've scored at least 26 points in every game this year.

• 1:09:57Speaker 00

  Yeah, he's good. He's good coach. Hank, did you find it?

• 1:10:00Speaker 05

  Uh, yeah. Two, two things. One about Josh, the schedule Allen, he he their wins have come against teams with a combined record of two and 10. And. This one's a little bit confusing. It's a graph, so saying it might not make the most sense, but. The Patriots have played the hardest schedule so far. But they have the easiest schedule going forward based off of teams this year.

• 1:10:27Speaker 03

  Based on what teams' records are at the present is what you're saying. They've got an easy schedule moving forward.

• 1:10:33Speaker 05

  I I.

• 1:10:34Speaker 00

  Those two things don't. Don't, those don't work together.

• 1:10:38Speaker 05

  How so?

• 1:10:39Speaker 00

  You just, your first point was the Bills are a fraud because they played nobody.

• 1:10:43Speaker 05

  Nope, those Bills, the Bills wins are nobodies.

• 1:10:46Speaker 00

  Okay, but then you're like, but your win against the Bills is something.

• 1:10:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, don't let's not.

• 1:10:54Speaker 05

  I'm talking about graph. I'm not, I'm not. It's not. It was not. It was not a, it was not a that the that was not subjective. The graph is just a graph.

• 1:11:01Speaker 03

  The graph is graph.

• 1:11:02Speaker 05

  I I can't put.

• 1:11:06Speaker 05

  The Patriots being at the top of like harder schedules so far, that's the graph.

• 1:11:09Speaker 00

  Right. But also the Bills have played nobody.

• 1:11:12Speaker 03

  So let's.

• 1:11:13Speaker 05

  No, the Bills win. They they they beat nobody.

• 1:11:15Speaker 00

  Wins are against nobody. The Bills' schedule has been easy. But also the Patriots have played the hardest schedule.

• 1:11:22Speaker 05

  Per the graph.

• 1:11:23Speaker 03

  Their strength of schedule, Patriots.

• 1:11:25Speaker 00

  You see how I was confused?

• 1:11:27Speaker 05

  Yes, yes, but that you understand.

• 1:11:28Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, I got it.

• 1:11:29Speaker 03

  Remaining games. And that the higher you go up, the easier it is.

• 1:11:38Speaker 00

  Hard, easy, this is a really confusing.

• 1:11:40Speaker 03

  This is very.

• 1:11:40Speaker 05

  Yeah, you guys, it's not, it's not for the weak minded.

• 1:11:42Speaker 00

  Remaining game, season so far. So what is, why is?

• 1:11:46Speaker 04

  Top left, yeah, just.

• 1:11:47Speaker 03

  Hard so far, easier going forward. Okay.

• 1:11:50Speaker 00

  Hard so far, easier going forward. Okay. So the, oh, that's bad news for everyone. Oh, no, no. Chiefs are the other.

• 1:11:56Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:11:57Speaker 00

  Okay, alright, got it.

• 1:11:58Speaker 03

  It means that the, the teams that are more likely, now, here's where it gets tricky, big cat, because you'll notice that with the exception of like the Buccaneers, pretty much every team that's in the bottom right quadrant is a team that has a good record.

• 1:12:12Speaker 00

  Right.

• 1:12:12Speaker 03

  Meaning that, that, that's going to be one out of four of their opponent's games being a loss.

• 1:12:18Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:12:18Speaker 03

  So the, the teams that they've played have bad records because they won that game.

• 1:12:22Speaker 00

  Right.

• 1:12:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:12:23Speaker 04

  You're forgetting a big one in the bottom right of easy so far, hard going forward. Zach noticed. How are we, how are we owing for it?

• 1:12:30Speaker 00

  Well, he said that.

• 1:12:30Speaker 04

  Yeah. Yeah. Did you say Bucks?

• 1:12:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:12:32Speaker 04

  Oh, I missed, I missed the Bucks part.

• 1:12:34Speaker 03

  Yep. That's the only one.

• 1:12:38Speaker 03

  Packers, Packers not that great, but yeah, it's a.

• 1:12:41Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:12:41Speaker 03

  It's, it's early. It's early to be doing schedule talk.

• 1:12:44Speaker 00

  Yeah, Hank, you're obsessed with schedule.

• 1:12:46Speaker 03

  I think it's just a trick, it's like a trigger word for him.

• 1:12:49Speaker 05

  Well, no, Glenn, Glenn, Glenn mentioned that, that, that did make me bring it up.

• 1:12:54Speaker 00

  That made you.

• 1:12:54Speaker 05

  I am, you know, I'm a graph head though.

• 1:12:56Speaker 03

  Glint free in your head.

• 1:12:57Speaker 00

  Also, this, this is basically, uh, can summed up pretty easily in the fact that like, have you played the bad teams in your division yet? Is essentially what the graph is.

• 1:13:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:13:07Speaker 00

  Cause the Patriots haven't played the Jets or the Dolphins.

• 1:13:11Speaker 00

  Have you played the bad teams yet?

• 1:13:13Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:13:14Speaker 00

  Right. Like have the Colts played the Titans? No. They're still on their, their schedule.

• 1:13:20Speaker 05

  But yeah, I'm, I'm very excited for this game. I think it's gonna be a battle. Uh, I think it's gonna be close.

• 1:13:27Speaker 05

  But I think if we win, which it's, it's where the division's ours.

• 1:13:31Speaker 03

  It's yours.

• 1:13:32Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:13:32Speaker 03

  So this is, if you win this game.

• 1:13:35Speaker 05

  Things are, it's gonna feel like the division's ours. I'm not calling the division over yet.

• 1:13:40Speaker 03

  You just said, if we win this game, the division's ours.

• 1:13:42Speaker 05

  That's where my head, that's where my head will be at.

• 1:13:45Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm. Okay.

• 1:13:46Speaker 05

  It'll be ours to lose.

• 1:13:47Speaker 03

  You'll be, you'll be thinking dap.

• 1:13:50Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:13:50Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm. Who, if you were to pick one guy in the Patriots, like what's the missing dap?

• 1:13:57Speaker 05

  One guy on the Patriots? Drake, Drake, yeah, Drake.

• 1:14:00Speaker 00

  You've never. You gotta dap him.

• 1:14:02Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:14:03Speaker 00

  I think he's gonna try to dap him on, uh, Thursday night football.

• 1:14:05Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:14:06Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:14:06Speaker 05

  That'd be a good.

• 1:14:07Speaker 00

  Yeah, he's gonna do a dap.

• 1:14:09Speaker 03

  Max has a question. Yes, Max.

• 1:14:10Speaker 00

  Is the question, would memes ever dap? No, memes would not. Memes have never dapped.

• 1:14:16Speaker 04

  Is the division ours, is that combined with the Bills' loss to the Rams?

• 1:14:21Speaker 00

  I think he's assuming that, yes.

• 1:14:23Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 1:14:23Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:14:24Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:14:24Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:14:25Speaker 04

  So, hmm, yours to lose, but you would still be behind the Bills then?

• 1:14:30Speaker 05

  Yes. But eventually, we're gonna play them again, Max. And if we win that, then we'll have the advantage. Idiot.

• 1:14:40Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:14:42Speaker 04

  You, you just said it's ours to lose when you're not in first.

• 1:14:45Speaker 05

  But you understand that we're gonna play them again, right?

• 1:14:49Speaker 04

  I do understand that.

• 1:14:50Speaker 05

  So then when we win that game.

• 1:14:53Speaker 04

  But if their record is still better at that time, it's still not yours.

• 1:14:55Speaker 03

  No, that you, what you guys aren't understanding is the Patriots.

• 1:14:58Speaker 05

  We're one game behind.

• 1:14:59Speaker 03

  The Patriots are obviously going to beat the Bills the next time they play each other. That's Hank's whole point.

• 1:15:05Speaker 03

  He's counting that as a win already.

• 1:15:06Speaker 04

  Got it.

• 1:15:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:15:07Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:15:08Speaker 03

  That haze in the barn.

• 1:15:09Speaker 05

  Are you following?

• 1:15:10Speaker 04

  Are you following that it's the Bills to lose because they're in first place?

• 1:15:14Speaker 03

  He's not following.

• 1:15:15Speaker 04

  It's the Bills.

• 1:15:16Speaker 05

  The Bills have one less loss when we, even if they win every single game from here on out.

• 1:15:20Speaker 04

  From their standpoint, you fucking idiot. They are in first. It's theirs to lose. If they, they can say the same fucking thing as you.

• 1:15:30Speaker 05

  But they will lose.

• 1:15:31Speaker 03

  Uh, but Hank, do you control your own destiny?

• 1:15:33Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:15:34Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:15:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:15:35Speaker 04

  Do the Bills.

• 1:15:35Speaker 00

  Bills do.

• 1:15:36Speaker 03

  But if you beat the Bills again.

• 1:15:38Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:15:38Speaker 04

  No, they, they both, technically, they both control their own destiny.

• 1:15:41Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:15:41Speaker 03

  That's impossible.

• 1:15:42Speaker 00

  We all do.

• 1:15:43Speaker 05

  No, the Patriot, yeah, we control our own destiny.

• 1:15:45Speaker 04

  So do the Bills. Stop saying no. Stop saying no.

• 1:15:48Speaker 00

  The Bills control their own destiny as well.

• 1:15:50Speaker 04

  They're in first.

• 1:15:51Speaker 03

  Max, I don't know what you're having such a hard time understanding.

• 1:15:53Speaker 00

  I mean, the Jets control their own destiny.

• 1:15:56Speaker 04

  Yes, we do.

• 1:15:56Speaker 00

  If they beat, if they win the rest of their games.

• 1:15:58Speaker 04

  Great point.

• 1:15:59Speaker 00

  They would absolutely win the AFCs.

• 1:16:01Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:16:01Speaker 04

  Autopilot.

• 1:16:04Speaker 05

  Okay, both are true. But, but it's ours to lose.

• 1:16:09Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:16:10Speaker 00

  Are you worried about Drake May saying he doesn't, uh, talk, he's talking about moon conspiracy theories?

• 1:16:14Speaker 05

  We talked about this. No.

• 1:16:15Speaker 00

  No, not at all.

• 1:16:16Speaker 03

  Not at all?

• 1:16:17Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:16:17Speaker 03

  Maybe a tiny bit?

• 1:16:19Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:16:19Speaker 05

  It's the moon conspiracy, it's the most cookie cutter, like.

• 1:16:23Speaker 03

  That's what I'm saying. Like, I would much rather my quarterback being, it, it felt like.

• 1:16:26Speaker 05

  Drake May is not like a controversial guy.

• 1:16:28Speaker 03

  It felt like he was holding something back because that's the one that people go to when they don't.

• 1:16:31Speaker 05

  They tried to do gotcha journal, journalism. He gave him nothing.

• 1:16:33Speaker 03

  No, I, I think that Drake was holding back because like, that's the one that people say when they don't wanna reveal what they actually believe. It's like, oh, what's the safe one? Oh, I can, what's the one that's not gonna get me banned by Robert Kraft? Oh, it's gonna be, I'm gonna go with the moon landing.

• 1:16:47Speaker 05

  The, the moon landing is, I'm not worried about it. To answer your question, no, I, I am not worried about it at all. I'm sure him and, I'm, Matt Hollins, I'm sure has some fucking crazy ones.

• 1:16:56Speaker 00

  Is Matt Hollins hurt?

• 1:16:57Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:16:58Speaker 00

  He's out for?

• 1:16:59Speaker 05

  I don't know how long, but he's hurt.

• 1:17:00Speaker 00

  Okay. Uh.

• 1:17:02Speaker 05

  AJ Brown, though, practicing, not limping.

• 1:17:05Speaker 00

  I also think Mike Vrabel might have gotten his swag back. And I have a reason for it. What, what are you gonna say?

• 1:17:10Speaker 05

  It just, I just, yeah.

• 1:17:12Speaker 00

  Okay. I think Mike Vrabel got his swag back because we talked about on Monday, C.D. Deuce going after Efton Chisholm, uh, talking about practice squad player. Mike Vrabel then defended Efton Chisholm and said, for a guy that's been on eight teams, talking about C.D. Deuce, eight teams in four years, I mean, I guess he knows the drill.

• 1:17:35Speaker 00

  That's a ballsy move for Mike Vrabel to take a shot at C.D. Deuce, who C.D. Deuce will say anything.

• 1:17:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:17:39Speaker 00

  About anyone. So I think Mike Vrabel might be back being like, that's in the past. I don't care.

• 1:17:44Speaker 03

  C.D. Deuce.

• 1:17:45Speaker 00

  Cause he basically like, almost dared him, like, go say something about me and what happened this past year.

• 1:17:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, C.D. Deuce is, uh, that's what he does. He's very good at, but he's also a good player.

• 1:17:54Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:17:55Speaker 03

  Like, if you're that much of a headache off the field, you would not have had the career that he's had if he also wasn't really good. But he's good when he's out there. That felt like a little, he was being a bitch after the game. He was like, I can't believe we lost, so I'm gonna have to make fun of the guy that caught the game when he passed.

• 1:18:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, but the, the Vrabel part of it, do you agree, Hank? Like him, him saying that is, he's opening himself up to have a, a shot back at him from C.D. Deuce. And he's okay with that.

• 1:18:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, cause then they'll just use that.

• 1:18:22Speaker 00

  Yeah. So I think he's, I think he might be back. Uh, okay, Vikings, Saints. Saints plus two and a half over under is 41 and a half. This is gonna be a tough one for our boy Shuck. The Saints need a win, uh, very badly. Vikings four and O, bad offense, incredible defense. What are we thinking? Also, here's the problem. Here's what the Saints is, in concerning this game. The Saints are so bad in the first half. And if you get in a hole against the Vikings, they're going to just tee off on you. So I'm very nervous about the Saints in this game. They're one and nine against the first half spread at home since the start of last season. Kellen Moore feels like he has not been able to get the team going early, uh, and get him on, you know, off on the right foot.

• 1:19:06Speaker 00

  That's a problem for a team like the Vikings who love playing with the lead.

• 1:19:09Speaker 03

  So the Vikings, the, the question is their offense. What is their offense? We know what the defense is gonna be. They're just gonna blitz 80% of the time, maybe more. Uh, but on offense, I believe they have the last ranked offense by yard.

• 1:19:22Speaker 00

  Yeah, they're, they're 32nd in yards per play.

• 1:19:23Speaker 03

  And yards per play, which is obviously terrible. Um, they did sign Odell Beckham this week, who's taken on number nine. He's the new nine. It felt like they gave that out like a little early.

• 1:19:35Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:19:35Speaker 03

  I don't know. You have to wait like a respectful amount of time. That felt disrespectful to JJ. Um, but I, I guess the offense can't get worse. And I'm, my, my thought with them is that Kyler is going to get more comfortable in the offense as the season goes on. As he gets more, more reps in, more games in, uh, it should, in theory, get better.

• 1:19:54Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:19:54Speaker 03

  So I think, uh.

• 1:19:56Speaker 00

  Is it though?

• 1:19:58Speaker 03

  What?

• 1:19:58Speaker 00

  Well, I'm just asking questions. I mean.

• 1:20:00Speaker 03

  In theory, it should get better. It, it's what I'm saying.

• 1:20:04Speaker 00

  So Mike Zimmer was, uh, a coach that was not, he wasn't, no, he's not a QB whisperer coach, right? When he coached the Vikings?

• 1:20:11Speaker 03

  Oh, no, he would, he would have rather won games without a quarterback at all, I think.

• 1:20:14Speaker 00

  Right. So Mike Zimmer coached the Vikings for eight seasons. How many times in those eight seasons did he have a game where, uh, regular season game where they did not score a touchdown?

• 1:20:27Speaker 00

  Anyone wanna guess? Eight seasons, not an offensive explosive, explosive coach. How many games?

• 1:20:35Speaker 03

  Two.

• 1:20:37Speaker 05

  Eight.

• 1:20:38Speaker 00

  Four, four times in eight seasons. How many times has Kevin O'Connell had his Vikings teams not score a touchdown? He is a offensive coach, a QB whisperer.

• 1:20:49Speaker 05

  Eight.

• 1:20:50Speaker 00

  Nine. That's a lot.

• 1:20:54Speaker 00

  I don't, I want to say that the Vikings will get better offensively. I don't know if they will.

• 1:20:59Speaker 03

  I think they should. They, because it can't get worse. It quite literally cannot get worse.

• 1:21:03Speaker 00

  Well, I mean, they, they could just keep winning games like this. Like, I'm not saying they're going to be bad as a team. I just don't know if it's going to get, I just don't know.

• 1:21:10Speaker 03

  Thirty second, they can't do any worse. I, it has to get better. Kyler Murray has, he has some talent. That's not a question. I think he just has to get familiar with it.

• 1:21:19Speaker 05

  Will the NFL let Brian Flores coach again?

• 1:21:22Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:21:23Speaker 05

  Head coach?

• 1:21:23Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:21:25Speaker 05

  He should be a head coach.

• 1:21:25Speaker 03

  Well, the real question is, will there be an owner that will hire him right now, even though he's actively engaged in a lawsuit?

• 1:21:32Speaker 03

  Cause that might be the real question. I, I don't think the old guard owners would do that. But there might be one out there that says, yeah, I don't care. He should.

• 1:21:42Speaker 05

  He should.

• 1:21:43Speaker 00

  Yeah. He's been awesome. I mean, he's a, is he a better coordinator than coach though? I don't know.

• 1:21:51Speaker 03

  Might be.

• 1:21:51Speaker 00

  It might be. That does happen where a guy is really good, really awesome at one side of the ball. And then when he has to control everything, it's a little out of his hands.

• 1:22:00Speaker 03

  But a lot of times when that happens, that guy will get a second chance.

• 1:22:02Speaker 00

  Yeah. No, I agree. I think he deserves one.

• 1:22:04Speaker 03

  Josh McDaniels, case in point, he, he flamed out in Denver and then he found, there were two teams that were like, yeah, let's give him a second chance. Maybe he learned from his first time as a head coach. I don't know that Brian Flores is going to get that shot, but he, he probably should.

• 1:22:18Speaker 00

  Yeah. Tyler Shuck said they're going to start the emphasis on this week on starting faster. Are we, are we laddering?

• 1:22:26Speaker 04

  Every time.

• 1:22:27Speaker 00

  They're going to be, they're going to be down in this game.

• 1:22:30Speaker 04

  Maybe we do live ladder.

• 1:22:31Speaker 05

  Ladder against Brian Flores is.

• 1:22:33Speaker 04

  Oh, no, because live ladder, because if they're down, then it'll, his number will go. I don't know.

• 1:22:38Speaker 00

  We have to ladder.

• 1:22:39Speaker 03

  Against Flores is kind of.

• 1:22:41Speaker 00

  Someone's got to be open when you're blitzing. Right?

• 1:22:45Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:22:45Speaker 04

  Mini ladder?

• 1:22:47Speaker 03

  Step ladder?

• 1:22:48Speaker 00

  Mega ladder. Little step.

• 1:22:50Speaker 04

  Step ladder, yeah.

• 1:22:51Speaker 00

  Little squatty potty?

• 1:22:52Speaker 03

  Are we going to go, are we going to go cherry picker? Are we going to go like bucket truck?

• 1:22:59Speaker 04

  I don't know what that is.

• 1:23:00Speaker 03

  You don't want the stair, the cherry picker?

• 1:23:03Speaker 00

  Where you, the thing.

• 1:23:05Speaker 03

  You like fix power lines?

• 1:23:06Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:23:06Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah. Oh, that's mega ladder.

• 1:23:08Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:23:08Speaker 00

  The thing that, the thing that, that, uh, Donnie convinced all of us that he knew how to use and then used it. And you got the hot dog off the ceiling.

• 1:23:16Speaker 03

  The Brian Kelly ladder.

• 1:23:17Speaker 04

  That was a great day.

• 1:23:18Speaker 00

  That was a great day.

• 1:23:18Speaker 04

  We don't talk about that day enough.

• 1:23:20Speaker 00

  We really don't. It was an incredible day.

• 1:23:22Speaker 05

  I believe that was a scissor lift.

• 1:23:24Speaker 00

  Oh, that was a scissor lift. Yeah. Yeah. The Brian Kelly.

• 1:23:28Speaker 03

  It is, uh, you know what? You're right. Someone's got to be open.

• 1:23:32Speaker 00

  Someone's got to be open.

• 1:23:33Speaker 03

  Listen, you blitz, you blitz Tyler Shuck at your own risk.

• 1:23:36Speaker 00

  Right. That's what I'm talking about.

• 1:23:38Speaker 03

  And you know what? You blitz him until he makes you pay. And I think Shuck's going to make him pay.

• 1:23:41Speaker 00

  He's going to make him pay. Uh, okay. Browns, Jets. Let's go memes. Win a football game.

• 1:23:48Speaker 04

  I'll keep it quick. Rain.

• 1:23:52Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:23:53Speaker 04

  Great in house. Fucking rain. It rains every fucking Sunday in New Jersey.

• 1:23:58Speaker 03

  So the rain is, is on your side?

• 1:24:01Speaker 04

  I don't think so.

• 1:24:02Speaker 00

  No, I don't think so. I think it's on the.

• 1:24:04Speaker 03

  So there's a negative.

• 1:24:05Speaker 04

  It is, uh, this is bullshit. You already have to watch a bad football team every Sunday and you also have to watch them in the rain.

• 1:24:11Speaker 00

  I agree with that.

• 1:24:12Speaker 04

  Build a dome.

• 1:24:14Speaker 00

  Jets minus one and a half, uh, over 39 and a half. I've.

• 1:24:18Speaker 03

  It's ridiculous that Browns fans are calling this a trap game. It's really, you're not favorites. You're underdogs. The Jets are favorite. It's impossible to have a trap game where the other, that's how, you can tell Browns fans are, and, and listen, they deserve to be happy. And I'm glad that their team is playing well. Um, but I, I guess I'm directing this singularly at Dom.

• 1:24:37Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:24:37Speaker 03

  You're not the favorite. It can't be a trap game.

• 1:24:39Speaker 00

  And also you're the Browns.

• 1:24:41Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:24:41Speaker 00

  You have to, like, you don't lose being the Browns just because you started three and one.

• 1:24:46Speaker 03

  Right.

• 1:24:47Speaker 00

  You got to earn not being the Browns.

• 1:24:49Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:24:50Speaker 00

  Process. It's a trap game.

• 1:24:52Speaker 03

  Ugly rain.

• 1:24:54Speaker 00

  Rain, ugly, trap game.

• 1:24:55Speaker 03

  If it rains so much, why don't you, why don't you build the team in a way that is optimized for the rain?

• 1:25:01Speaker 04

  They would not, why, why would they do that? That would be smart.

• 1:25:05Speaker 03

  Okay. Yeah.

• 1:25:05Speaker 00

  He fucking bodied you there.

• 1:25:08Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:25:08Speaker 04

  They should have, they should just build the O line, have a beast running back, never throw it. That's it.

• 1:25:16Speaker 03

  You know what? I, I went at Dom a little bit hard there. I, I see the, the logic kind of behind it, that they have the Ravens afterwards. So if it goes Steelers.

• 1:25:26Speaker 00

  Then it'd be a look ahead spot out of trap game.

• 1:25:28Speaker 03

  But if you go Steelers, Jets, Ravens, Browns fans have, and the team probably looks at the Steelers and Ravens games a little bit differently.

• 1:25:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:25:38Speaker 03

  But, but you're right. Look ahead, not trap.

• 1:25:40Speaker 00

  The Browns are, they have a schedule coming up that like, they could make some, especially if Lamar's out, if they can win this game. I, we could be looking up and saying, oh shit, we're the Browns. They, they played the Jets, the Ravens, maybe without Lamar. At the Titans, at the Steelers, at the Saints. It's not murderers row.

• 1:26:03Speaker 03

  How good do you think Deshaun Watson has to play this season for him to win comeback player of the year? Have we thought about that?

• 1:26:11Speaker 00

  I think he has to play, I think he has to play, I think he has to play MVP level. And they're like, I think it has to get to a point where they're like, we can't give him MVP.

• 1:26:23Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:26:23Speaker 00

  So we'll have to give him comeback player of the year.

• 1:26:26Speaker 03

  And they'll have to change it to like, in the official announcement, it will have to say for bouncing back from two Achilles injuries.

• 1:26:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:26:33Speaker 03

  They have to, they will have to label it as such.

• 1:26:35Speaker 00

  Clarify. Yeah. He'll have to play so good that everyone would be like, that guy should be the, the MVP.

• 1:26:42Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:26:42Speaker 00

  But we can't possibly do it.

• 1:26:44Speaker 03

  He's un-MVP-able.

• 1:26:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:26:46Speaker 03

  But.

• 1:26:46Speaker 00

  Oh, Patrick Holmes is eligible. That's, that's a runaway.

• 1:26:51Speaker 03

  They'll have.

• 1:26:51Speaker 00

  It should be Kittle.

• 1:26:52Speaker 03

  They'll have a nice out.

• 1:26:53Speaker 00

  Kittle should get talked about more of the fact that he came back in less than a year and is dominant. Like, he, he tore his Achilles nine months ago. It's fucking crazy.

• 1:27:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:27:06Speaker 00

  All right. Uh, memes, you think you're going to win this game? You're going to win this game. Can you win this game?

• 1:27:09Speaker 04

  I hope so. Cause if you win this game, you get, you get the cavalry back the following week.

• 1:27:14Speaker 03

  Oh, cavalry's coming.

• 1:27:15Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:27:15Speaker 03

  Who's in the cavalry?

• 1:27:16Speaker 04

  A.D. Mitchell, who had a mystery broken finger two weeks ago. Uh, Omar Cooper, Breece Hall, and our left guard.

• 1:27:27Speaker 04

  Everyone's coming back.

• 1:27:28Speaker 03

  Cavalry. But you got Braylon Allen for plays 26 yards.

• 1:27:32Speaker 04

  Yeah. Hopefully he does that again. Hopefully it's a Braylon Allen game.

• 1:27:35Speaker 00

  I still don't understand that tweet. It's been a week.

• 1:27:38Speaker 03

  So I, I think I figured it out. Um, teams have the, the social media quotas they have to hit. Because they sell ads against the interactions they have, against the impressions, against the follower count. So they have to, they have to tweet something out. And that was the, uh, they can run a mean pick six of the Jets where it's like, we got to get something out. Let's just do a screenshot of this. Honestly, you would take four yards or four plays, 26 yards.

• 1:28:04Speaker 00

  All day.

• 1:28:05Speaker 03

  That's, that's a nice little, uh, nice little series.

• 1:28:07Speaker 04

  It's a great four plays.

• 1:28:08Speaker 03

  Yeah. He's got a nice little rhythm, but the fact that, yeah, it was highlighted is, um.

• 1:28:14Speaker 00

  While the Jets were down, it was the third quarter.

• 1:28:18Speaker 03

  And you know what? The flex emoji too.

• 1:28:20Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:28:20Speaker 03

  The flex emoji.

• 1:28:21Speaker 00

  I think that's what it is.

• 1:28:22Speaker 03

  That made it worse.

• 1:28:24Speaker 00

  I think you, yeah, Joey Langone, shout out Joey Langone, one of our, uh, our guys who, who works for Barstool. He's a great behind the scenes guy. He tweets me banners. We should make him.

• 1:28:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, we should. That's a good banner. Good idea, Joey.

• 1:28:37Speaker 00

  All right. Colts, Steelers. We got two more games in the, uh, early window. Colts, Steelers. Steelers are minus two and a half, over under 44 and a half. I really want to bet the Steelers because the Colts, I do not believe in, in Daniel Jones. The Colts are coming back from England, no buy, going on the road. It just feels like it's an absolute mess in Pittsburgh right now. Do you know how easy it is for Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers to just give cliche answers? Like, yeah, we're competitors, you know, in the heat of battle, we're going to have that type of, uh, back and forth, but we respect each other. We're always on the same page. That is so easy to lie like that. And they hate each other so much, they couldn't even do that.

• 1:29:20Speaker 03

  They can't. Well, it's partially they hate each other, partially they're just too familiar with each other.

• 1:29:24Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:29:24Speaker 03

  So it's like, yeah, they'll air all the dirty laundry because they've done it before. They, they've done it again. The more I think about it, the more it would be, it would be, if Mike McCarthy has any balls, he came back to take this job to ruin Aaron Rodgers.

• 1:29:36Speaker 00

  Well, huh? Yeah. Remember we talked about that theory?

• 1:29:38Speaker 03

  It would be.

• 1:29:39Speaker 00

  It would be to, to retire.

• 1:29:41Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:29:41Speaker 00

  Mike McCarthy.

• 1:29:42Speaker 03

  He's got all the power and he doesn't know it.

• 1:29:44Speaker 00

  Just to retire Aaron Rodgers.

• 1:29:46Speaker 03

  Yeah. The Count of Monte Crisco.

• 1:29:48Speaker 00

  What? We talked about this theory.

• 1:29:50Speaker 04

  Yeah. Whatever the chances Aaron Rodgers would just say no.

• 1:29:52Speaker 03

  And just go out on the field?

• 1:29:53Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:29:54Speaker 00

  Be high.

• 1:29:55Speaker 03

  Like he goes, yeah, like, yeah, a hundred percent.

• 1:29:58Speaker 04

  Like Mike McCarthy tries to bench Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers says no.

• 1:30:02Speaker 03

  It would be, it would be constitutional crisis in Pittsburgh. It's like, who has the power?

• 1:30:06Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:30:06Speaker 03

  And Aaron Rodgers would try to rally the guys around him. And then Mike McCarthy would be like, I'll cut you if you don't follow what I'm saying. It would, it would actually be fascinating to watch.

• 1:30:15Speaker 04

  Who does, who does Will Howard listen to if Aaron Rodgers says no, like Aaron Rodgers, Mike McCarthy says, you're in. Aaron Rodgers says, no, you're not. What does Will Howard do?

• 1:30:25Speaker 00

  I think he just cries. Honestly, he sits down and cries.

• 1:30:29Speaker 03

  I think he cries while taking the field to take the job from Aaron Rodgers. And, uh, meanwhile, Drew Aller, six, five, two, 45. Stands resolute on the sidelines, refuses to take Aaron's job, refuses to even participate in that. And thus gains the respect of the entire city of Pittsburgh. Then Mike McCarthy, at the end of the year is fired, Drew Aller, quarterback in waiting. He's the true quarterback of that team. He refused to divide it in half.

• 1:30:57Speaker 04

  I think there would be too many men on the field situation.

• 1:30:59Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:30:59Speaker 04

  Like I don't see a world where Aaron Rodgers is like, I'm coming off of this field.

• 1:31:04Speaker 03

  And I don't think that he deserves to be benched. Like he's, he's probably the best, I don't know. The offense has looked okay in spurts this year.

• 1:31:12Speaker 00

  Yeah. That was the nicest way you could put it.

• 1:31:15Speaker 03

  Oh, I'm grading on Steelers offenses.

• 1:31:17Speaker 00

  Oh, Steelers offense, I think it's actually looked explosive.

• 1:31:19Speaker 03

  Yeah. So, so I don't think that they're even close to thinking about that. It's just funny that they do openly just like take snipes at each other. Like, like they're an old married couple.

• 1:31:29Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. That, that is the one thing you could say about Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers. If you grade it on the last few years of Steelers offense, whether it be Kenny Pickett, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields. Where in, in whatever post Ben iteration of Steelers offense has happened, this is the greatest show on turf.

• 1:31:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:31:49Speaker 00

  They, they have looked way better. Again, on a curve to every other offense they've had in the last few years. They're still bad.

• 1:31:57Speaker 03

  Yeah. And I do, I agree with the, I, I think I like the Steelers in this game.

• 1:32:02Speaker 00

  I do too. The, the last time the Colts, this is, this is one of those sneaky one side owns the other series. The, uh, only Colts quarterback to win in Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl era is Peyton Manning. He did it once in 2008. It's kind of crazy.

• 1:32:19Speaker 03

  That is, yeah.

• 1:32:20Speaker 00

  Yeah. They just don't win. They're two and 14 all time in Pittsburgh.

• 1:32:24Speaker 03

  I think back to that playoff game with the liquored up kicker, Mike Vanderjack.

• 1:32:28Speaker 00

  That was in Indy. Yeah.

• 1:32:29Speaker 03

  Yeah. Bob Sanders.

• 1:32:30Speaker 00

  He missed it.

• 1:32:31Speaker 03

  Fumble Jerome Bettis, who was on the Steelers, not the Rams.

• 1:32:34Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:32:35Speaker 03

  And, uh, yeah, missed it at the very last second. Don't roll.

• 1:32:37Speaker 00

  Don't roll your eyes. I saw that. That was a heavy eye roll.

• 1:32:40Speaker 03

  Such a sassy eye roll, Hank.

• 1:32:45Speaker 05

  It wasn't, yeah, whatever. No one, like, of all the dumb things that have been said on this show, first of all, Max said it. Second of all.

• 1:32:53Speaker 03

  Yeah. So why are you rolling your eyes?

• 1:32:54Speaker 05

  Cause it's, it's the most overblown thing that you guys like beaten to the ground.

• 1:33:00Speaker 03

  Now there's a, that's not true.

• 1:33:03Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's awesome.

• 1:33:03Speaker 05

  But it, it is. It is.

• 1:33:05Speaker 00

  Not even close to.

• 1:33:06Speaker 03

  Not even close to true.

• 1:33:07Speaker 00

  Not even close to.

• 1:33:08Speaker 05

  It is.

• 1:33:08Speaker 03

  Not even top 10.

• 1:33:09Speaker 00

  Want to talk about live dying?

• 1:33:10Speaker 05

  People forget.

• 1:33:11Speaker 00

  We could talk about live dying.

• 1:33:13Speaker 03

  Uh huh. Yeah. Buddy, we haven't even started the NBA season yet. Okay. So.

• 1:33:17Speaker 00

  Hey.

• 1:33:18Speaker 03

  There's a lot of meat left on a lot of bones.

• 1:33:20Speaker 00

  Can I ask a real quick question? Do, maybe we could talk to our lawyers, like, could we buy the IP to live and just make it a YouTube channel of us golfing?

• 1:33:28Speaker 05

  No, it's gonna be, uh, do you see the, it's gonna be a, a billion dollar company.

• 1:33:33Speaker 00

  Okay. All right. Well, we'll, we'll talk about that.

• 1:33:35Speaker 05

  Teams are valued at a hundred million dollars.

• 1:33:36Speaker 03

  So yeah, they shed, they just shedded all their good player salaries.

• 1:33:40Speaker 05

  They knew that was coming. That was part of the plan. That was part of the.

• 1:33:43Speaker 03

  So now every penny that comes in is.

• 1:33:45Speaker 05

  You guys don't know finance.

• 1:33:46Speaker 00

  All right. Last afternoon game.

• 1:33:48Speaker 03

  Wait, there, there is one thing, cause you mentioned it earlier, the teams that play the week after an international game, um, with no buy are 27 and 21. And the teams that take the buy coming back from international games, 36, 39 and one.

• 1:34:03Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 1:34:03Speaker 03

  So it's actually, the track record is way better for teams coming home with no buy.

• 1:34:09Speaker 00

  Oh, that is.

• 1:34:10Speaker 03

  You wouldn't, you wouldn't think that that was the case.

• 1:34:12Speaker 00

  Yeah. Well, that also could be, they put it into the spread. That's against the spread? Or straight up?

• 1:34:17Speaker 03

  No, that's straight up.

• 1:34:17Speaker 00

  Oh, okay. Yeah, that is. Yeah. Huh. Interesting. Uh, all right. Last early game, Giants, Commanders. Commanders minus three and a half, over, under 41 and a half. Jane Daniels full go.

• 1:34:28Speaker 03

  Jane Daniels full go. Uh, the thing I'm concerned about, in addition to him having his elbow, uh, just exit his body like SpongeBob and say I'm out, is possibly, uh, the handoff situation.

• 1:34:42Speaker 03

  Because if there's one, if you have a bad elbow.

• 1:34:44Speaker 00

  And he is elite.

• 1:34:44Speaker 03

  And he is great at handoffs, but like, kind of seriously, if you hand off to your right as a, uh, as a quarterback, use your left arm. The brace he's gonna be wearing is gonna theoretically keep it in place and prevent it from popping out, but straightening it, I think is probably still gonna be very painful. So a lot of times quarterbacks will then hand off with their right hand.

• 1:35:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:35:05Speaker 03

  As they go to the right, like backhanded, which I was, I was concerned about that. I asked Arian about that yesterday on macrodosing and he was like, yeah, I have one experience with that. Eric Ainge hurt his, uh, finger. And so he had to hand off backhanded. It was against Florida, first handoff of the game, fumbled, they recovered, touchdown, we lost. I was like, well, that's not what I wanted to hear. That's not what I wanted to hear at all. Uh, so I don't know, I don't know what the handoffs are gonna look like, but I'm back in. Like if he plays well, I'm, I'm fully back in on the season, cause, uh, I still think he's got a very, very bright future ahead of him in the NFL. But I'm all, every time he gets hit, and I'm hoping that he won't get hit much on that side where he's falling

• 1:35:47Speaker 03

  down to his left. You don't want to take hits on the right shoulder if you're a quarterback that throws to your right, right arm anyways. So hopefully he, he'll protect it a little bit. Um, but to say that I'm not confident in the way it's gonna go would probably be an understatement.

• 1:36:00Speaker 00

  Are you worried about getting Jameis?

• 1:36:02Speaker 03

  Definitely. Jameis has been really, really good against Washington.

• 1:36:05Speaker 00

  And he's feeling himself. He's kind of back.

• 1:36:07Speaker 03

  Yeah. He's a big time back. We had the full Jameis Winston experience, but part of the Jameis Winston experience is when you get a game, that's the full on Jameis experience. The next game tends to not be.

• 1:36:17Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:36:18Speaker 03

  So I'm hoping that we catch him on the bottom of a roller coaster. Uh, but yeah, he is, he historically, he's, he's owned the commanders and we, it would be kind of nice to see Marcus Mariota against Jameis.

• 1:36:30Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:36:30Speaker 03

  One last time for old times sake.

• 1:36:32Speaker 00

  What, uh, where are you feeling if the commanders win this game? Season back on?

• 1:36:37Speaker 03

  In what, in what way? What way, what way do we win it?

• 1:36:40Speaker 00

  Uh.

• 1:36:41Speaker 03

  Because there's a couple of different ways.

• 1:36:42Speaker 00

  Not a blowout, but let's say, let's say you win by 10.

• 1:36:48Speaker 00

  And it's, uh, no, you know what? You win by seven. Giants score a field goal to make it seven towards the end. So you were up by 10. Uh, not like a crazy impressive, but also not, I, we were, you never thought you were gonna lose the game.

• 1:37:02Speaker 03

  A workman like victory.

• 1:37:03Speaker 00

  Yeah, like.

• 1:37:04Speaker 03

  Give me, give me a stat, give me a stat line from Jay, from, uh, Jaden.

• 1:37:07Speaker 00

  Jaden Daniels went, uh, 15 for 22 for 215 and a touchdown.

• 1:37:16Speaker 03

  Uh, any rushing, yards rushing touchdown?

• 1:37:18Speaker 00

  He had, uh, no rushing touchdowns, but he had, uh, four rushes for 35 yards.

• 1:37:23Speaker 03

  Okay. Um, I'm going to feel average about that win.

• 1:37:27Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:37:27Speaker 03

  But then on Monday, I'm gonna go back and cherry pick his best throws and I'll say Jaden's fully back. The rest of the league's in big trouble and I'll talk myself into feeling great about, which should not be a great feeling win.

• 1:37:39Speaker 00

  Got it.

• 1:37:39Speaker 03

  That's where I'll be with that performance.

• 1:37:41Speaker 00

  And if you lose this game, season over?

• 1:37:42Speaker 03

  Season over.

• 1:37:45Speaker 00

  It's a big game.

• 1:37:45Speaker 03

  Big game.

• 1:37:46Speaker 00

  Big game. Uh, there's a lot of, there's a lot of big games as podcasts going on at the noon slate.

• 1:37:55Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:37:56Speaker 00

  Like happiness and sadness and just everything in between.

• 1:37:59Speaker 03

  I think a lot also has to do with, if, uh, if Terry's gonna be playing.

• 1:38:02Speaker 00

  Is he?

• 1:38:03Speaker 03

  Don't know. Don't know. That sucked. He heard his quad in practice on Friday before the, the London game.

• 1:38:09Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:38:09Speaker 03

  Cause like the, the commander's offense is a different team.

• 1:38:12Speaker 00

  For sure.

• 1:38:13Speaker 03

  Um, but I, I guess good job getting Stefan Diggs because the offense was not the problem, I don't think, last week.

• 1:38:20Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:38:20Speaker 03

  It was, uh, it was the referees. I blame the ref.

• 1:38:23Speaker 00

  And it was also England.

• 1:38:24Speaker 03

  It was England.

• 1:38:24Speaker 00

  It was England's fault.

• 1:38:25Speaker 03

  It was the king, uh, it was Prince Andrew's fault and it was the referees.

• 1:38:31Speaker 00

  Absolutely. Okay. Before we do afternoon games, twisted tea, it's football season. We're, we've never been more ready for game day. We're bringing twisted tea along for the ride all season long. Twisted tea is a refreshing hard iced tea made with real brewed tea and 5% alcohol. Twisted tea party pack has a little something for everyone. With original half and half raspberry and peach, it's got that refreshing taste, a little kick, no carbonation. It goes down smooth, making it the perfect drink to keep the good times going at the tailgate all day long and all football season long. Whether you're tailgating at the stadium, crushing teas in your man cave or grilling out with friends, twisted tea is there to turn your day up a notch and make a good time, a great time. We love

• 1:39:11Speaker 00

  twisted tea. Grab a twisted tea today. Uh, keep it twisted with twisted tea, the original, the half and half, the peach, my personal favorite. I'm gonna have a twisted tea sitting on my back patio, watching ball this weekend. Cause it's gonna be beautiful out. Twisted tea, uh, the most refreshing drink out there. It is the best. It's twisted tea. Keep it twisted. Okay. Afternoon games, boys. Uh, the NFL did it to us. Only three afternoon games.

• 1:39:38Speaker 03

  Hmm. It's about time.

• 1:39:39Speaker 00

  It's about time.

• 1:39:40Speaker 03

  Too good for too long.

• 1:39:41Speaker 00

  Too good for too long. Three games. I will say, one of them does feature the Lions defense. So that should be at least points.

• 1:39:50Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:39:51Speaker 00

  But, uh, the first game, Broncos at the Chargers. Chargers are plus three and a half. Home division dog.

• 1:39:59Speaker 03

  This is the week.

• 1:40:00Speaker 00

  Hank, let me, let's talk about over 41 and a half. This is the week that Sean Payton has decided to take back, uh, um, well, I shouldn't say take back.

• 1:40:10Speaker 03

  It's collaborating.

• 1:40:11Speaker 00

  He's collaborating. He's collaborating on play calling.

• 1:40:14Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 1:40:15Speaker 00

  I do expect them to look better because they have looked so bad. They're ranked, uh, 27th in points and 17th in defensive points per game. The Broncos have been, like, the conversation has been a lot about the Chargers or the Texans. The Broncos have looked remarkably average for a team that everyone thought was going to be a good team and build on last year's AFC championship.

• 1:40:38Speaker 03

  Especially the first half of games, first three quarters of the game. So yeah, it's, um, Sean Payton was very clear. This is not a demotion.

• 1:40:45Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:40:45Speaker 03

  It's not a demotion. It's a collaborative play calling effort. Like Ringo Starr collaborated on writing all those number one hits with John Lennon.

• 1:40:52Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:40:53Speaker 03

  It's pretty much an equal position. Uh, Denver is not panicking. They will also want to make that clear. Not a panic move that they're doing.

• 1:41:00Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:41:01Speaker 03

  Um, so I believe him. And if you look at the stats going into this, Denver, uh, has not been good against the spread in its last five divisional games.

• 1:41:11Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:41:11Speaker 03

  It has actually been bad. I don't think that they've won a single one out of those five. And, uh, on the other hand, Harbaugh is, if you thought he was desperate last week.

• 1:41:22Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:41:22Speaker 03

  This is about as desperate as, as it's gonna get. I do think that there's probably gonna be some sort of move made if they lose this game.

• 1:41:29Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:41:29Speaker 03

  I don't know what, what moves he has. I guess McDaniel is, is there. I don't, he doesn't seem like a guy that would move on so quickly.

• 1:41:36Speaker 00

  Well, the, the, the question would be, would, do they start trading guys?

• 1:41:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:41:40Speaker 00

  Uh, they also, the Chargers offensive line is very banged up. There's a chance they're gonna start four rookie offensive linemen, uh, this Sunday. So I don't know how that's gonna look. That makes me scared, Hank, cause I want to take the Chargers, but for offensive, uh, linemen, for rookie offensive lineman.

• 1:42:00Speaker 05

  Herbert's used to it.

• 1:42:02Speaker 00

  He is. That's true. And also you're bad already. So maybe like switching it all out won't be.

• 1:42:09Speaker 03

  I mean, he's been getting his ass kicked. It's been bad. Just pressure in his face all the time. Uh, he hasn't been playing well either. So like, it's a combination. Before he was getting his ass kicked and he was still good for getting his ass kicked.

• 1:42:21Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:42:21Speaker 03

  This year, he's getting his ass kicked and he sucks, which is you can't, you can't have both of those at the same time. And I don't know. Yeah. They, they, they could be looking to make some moves if, if they fall into even deeper hole. Um, with Justin Herbert, kind of put it in perspective, there's one quarterback that, um, has had more passing yards without a playoff win through their first hundred games. Cause I think this is either his 100th game or, uh, he has played 100.

• 1:42:49Speaker 00

  Without a playoff win?

• 1:42:50Speaker 03

  Without a playoff win. There's one quarterback.

• 1:42:52Speaker 00

  Oh, boy. Who would that be?

• 1:42:55Speaker 03

  Can you guess?

• 1:42:56Speaker 00

  Oh, hold on.

• 1:42:58Speaker 05

  One quarterback with more passing yards without a playoff win. Tony Romo.

• 1:43:04Speaker 03

  In their first hundred, nope, not Tony.

• 1:43:07Speaker 00

  That's a good guess.

• 1:43:07Speaker 03

  Very good guessing.

• 1:43:08Speaker 00

  Really good guess. Dak Prescott won a playoff game early, didn't he? Uh?

• 1:43:13Speaker 03

  Uh, he's one wild, I think.

• 1:43:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:43:15Speaker 05

  Peyton Manning?

• 1:43:16Speaker 03

  Nope.

• 1:43:18Speaker 00

  What era?

• 1:43:20Speaker 03

  Modern era?

• 1:43:21Speaker 00

  Modern era.

• 1:43:22Speaker 03

  Modern era, yeah.

• 1:43:23Speaker 00

  Okay, modern era. Passing yards.

• 1:43:25Speaker 04

  Philip Rivers?

• 1:43:26Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:43:26Speaker 03

  Not Phil.

• 1:43:27Speaker 00

  No, he won playoff.

• 1:43:28Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:43:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:43:30Speaker 00

  Hmm, what conference? I'm gonna do division next.

• 1:43:34Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:43:35Speaker 05

  Oh, Jay Cutler.

• 1:43:36Speaker 03

  Nope.

• 1:43:36Speaker 00

  No, Jay won a playoff.

• 1:43:37Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:43:38Speaker 03

  NFC.

• 1:43:40Speaker 00

  NFC, NFC.

• 1:43:42Speaker 04

  Andy Dalton.

• 1:43:42Speaker 05

  What team?

• 1:43:43Speaker 04

  He's AFC.

• 1:43:43Speaker 00

  AFC, that's AFC, come on, get it.

• 1:43:46Speaker 04

  But he's NFC now.

• 1:43:47Speaker 00

  Don't say team, don't say team.

• 1:43:48Speaker 03

  I'm not gonna tell team.

• 1:43:49Speaker 00

  Don't say team.

• 1:43:49Speaker 03

  I won't tell team.

• 1:43:50Speaker 04

  Can I re-hear the stat?

• 1:43:52Speaker 00

  Yeah, can we get a, can you tell us the country of origin as well?

• 1:43:55Speaker 03

  Okay, United States.

• 1:43:58Speaker 03

  The question memes is, there's one quarterback that has more passing yards than Justin Herbert through his first hundred games.

• 1:44:08Speaker 05

  How mad are we gonna be?

• 1:44:09Speaker 03

  Not, I don't think he'll be mad.

• 1:44:11Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:44:11Speaker 03

  So Justin Herbert is, I think this is his 100th start.

• 1:44:16Speaker 03

  There's one quarterback that has more passing yards without a playoff win through their first 100 starts than Justin Herbert has.

• 1:44:24Speaker 04

  I think I'm gonna be mad.

• 1:44:25Speaker 03

  Nope.

• 1:44:26Speaker 00

  Sam Bradford?

• 1:44:28Speaker 03

  Nope.

• 1:44:29Speaker 00

  All right, tell us.

• 1:44:30Speaker 04

  Oh, come on.

• 1:44:31Speaker 00

  All right, keep going.

• 1:44:32Speaker 05

  Older, younger than you.

• 1:44:32Speaker 00

  Get in the game, memes.

• 1:44:33Speaker 05

  Older, younger than you.

• 1:44:35Speaker 00

  Get in the fucking game.

• 1:44:36Speaker 04

  Hundred games.

• 1:44:37Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:44:37Speaker 04

  NFC.

• 1:44:38Speaker 00

  Matthew Stafford.

• 1:44:39Speaker 03

  That's correct.

• 1:44:39Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:44:39Speaker 04

  Ah.

• 1:44:41Speaker 00

  We get it after 75 guesses. We knew it all along, boys.

• 1:44:45Speaker 04

  Cut the rest of them, just say, got it right away.

• 1:44:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, wow, you guys are fucking smart.

• 1:44:49Speaker 00

  Dude, perfect, first try, Matthew Stafford. Whoa, we did it.

• 1:44:54Speaker 03

  It is crazy to think that me and Big Cat are three years older than Matt Stafford. And we talk about him like.

• 1:44:58Speaker 00

  Need you to say that.

• 1:44:59Speaker 03

  We talk, we talk about him like he is the oldest person on planet earth.

• 1:45:03Speaker 00

  God damn it, god damn it, yeah, I mean Rogers retiring is gonna be a problem.

• 1:45:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:45:07Speaker 00

  That's it.

• 1:45:08Speaker 03

  LeBron.

• 1:45:09Speaker 00

  LeBron and Rogers, and then maybe like a kicker. Nick Folk, no, we're older, we're older than Nick Folk.

• 1:45:16Speaker 03

  Which is crazy, that makes me, that part makes me feel better.

• 1:45:19Speaker 00

  Nick Folk is, is like way younger than I thought, oh no. We're all, we're younger than Nick Folk, thank God. All right, Nick Folk is 41 years old, but he was born in 1984.

• 1:45:31Speaker 03

  So got us.

• 1:45:32Speaker 00

  Stick around Nick Folk, all right, you're gonna, do you wanna say what you're thinking about? I'm not gonna pull you to the hungry dog, but what are you thinking about hungry dog?

• 1:45:40Speaker 05

  Chargers, Giants are pretty, pretty much locked in, I actually think I and Colts.

• 1:45:48Speaker 00

  Oh, so you're not touching the Packers?

• 1:45:53Speaker 05

  I, that's, I put this in, I I sometimes will do combinations of hungry dogs, I'll only tweet out one official hungry dog. I have already put in Colts, Giants, Chargers.

• 1:46:05Speaker 00

  Straight bets?

• 1:46:06Speaker 05

  No.

• 1:46:07Speaker 00

  Oh. Okay.

• 1:46:10Speaker 05

  And I'm guessing, so it's either gonna be Giants, Chargers, Colts, or Giants, Chargers, Packers. I can say that with confidence.

• 1:46:17Speaker 00

  Okay. Uh, all right, next game, the fun game, just because the Lions defense are featured, Lions minus five and a half, over, under 54 and a half against the Cardinals. Yeah, I mean, I, I don't know what to make of the Lions in, in terms of like their defense, I, they just have to get healthy, right? Like, they're just so bad right now, they're so bad.

• 1:46:37Speaker 03

  They, I think help is on the way.

• 1:46:39Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:46:40Speaker 03

  I, I heard that Brian Branch might be practicing.

• 1:46:43Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:46:44Speaker 03

  Um, so that they are gonna get healthier and the defense is at a spot where it's like historically bad, so I expect that it's gonna maybe round into form and just be average bad.

• 1:46:54Speaker 00

  They're, they're last in every category, and so points per game, yards per game, passing yards per game, uh, third down defense, fourth down defense, their third down defense, they're giving up a first down 52.8% of the time, and they are, uh, 100% of the time when a team has gone for fourth down, they're five for five, uh, have gotten it. And this is the one that's really bad, the most first downs allowed. The second highest is 96, the Lions have given up 113 first downs.

• 1:47:25Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:47:25Speaker 00

  113 first downs over four games.

• 1:47:28Speaker 03

  Eesh.

• 1:47:29Speaker 00

  So they need to, it's bad, but bad also means good because when we have three games in the afternoon slot and all three are stinkers, that sucks, I feel like the Lions are, like, I looked at this line, I was like, hey, is this one I should bet on the Lions? I just don't know with that defense if you can win by five and a half points, I think the Lions will win this game, but like, think about it. If they're up a touchdown at the end of the game, the Cardinals can go score.

• 1:47:54Speaker 03

  I think you have to count on, on Jacoby Brissette giving one back.

• 1:47:58Speaker 00

  Yeah, but even 10, let's say this, 10-point game, four minutes left, Cardinals have the ball, do you feel confident in five and a half?

• 1:48:05Speaker 03

  No, no, not, no, if it's that close and they have the ball, no, it's gonna be backdoor.

• 1:48:09Speaker 00

  Right.

• 1:48:09Speaker 03

  100%, yes.

• 1:48:10Speaker 00

  So, that's the tough part when you're betting on a team with that bad of a defense.

• 1:48:14Speaker 03

  Jared Goff has, has won nine straight against the Cardinals.

• 1:48:17Speaker 00

  Okay, that makes me feel a little more confident.

• 1:48:19Speaker 03

  To, to lose a game like this.

• 1:48:20Speaker 00

  I do think the Lions are gonna win this game.

• 1:48:24Speaker 00

  The, the Cardinals are going their black alternate uniforms this week. Does that mean anything to you?

• 1:48:29Speaker 03

  Yes, it means that they're, they're probably listening to Metallica in practice.

• 1:48:32Speaker 00

  And, no, the Cardinals.

• 1:48:33Speaker 03

  The Cardinals.

• 1:48:34Speaker 00

  Yeah, the Cardinals, Cardinals.

• 1:48:36Speaker 03

  Are they playing that, are they wearing that during the game as well?

• 1:48:38Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:48:40Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think, I do think that that's more at home for Dan Campbell.

• 1:48:44Speaker 00

  Do you think Cortez is going to match that? He has to, right?

• 1:48:48Speaker 03

  I think Cortez, does he, he doesn't switch uniforms.

• 1:48:51Speaker 00

  I don't know, he might not.

• 1:48:52Speaker 03

  I think he's just got the, the standard old school 1980s helmet, uh, the super baggy jersey, I don't think he wears like the splattering one that he wore the other, that the team wore the other week.

• 1:49:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:49:03Speaker 03

  I don't think he does, he messes around with rivalry jerseys or, or throwbacks or color rush or anything like, Cortez is, is who he is.

• 1:49:09Speaker 00

  Why, why don't the Cardinals play Carson Beck?

• 1:49:13Speaker 03

  Uh, because Jacoby Brissette.

• 1:49:16Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:49:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, I, I think, I, I think I figured out why Jacoby Brissette gets such a long leash in this league. Besides the fact that he seems like a good guy.

• 1:49:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, he seems like the man.

• 1:49:26Speaker 03

  He, he's the man, he's a very, you know, he's a average backup quarterback, I would say, but like, people will give Jacoby Brissette a lot of chances in this league, um, and I'm happy for him. Did you know that he was like best friends with Bill Parcells growing up?

• 1:49:40Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:49:41Speaker 03

  So, yeah, like when he was in high school, Bill Parcells was around him, it was like, there's this, uh, high school quarterback, Jacoby, he's really good, they used to,

• 1:49:51Speaker 00

  It does sound.

• 1:49:51Speaker 03

  They used to go to breakfast together like a few times a week.

• 1:49:54Speaker 00

  This does sound vaguely familiar, yes.

• 1:49:56Speaker 03

  So like Bill Parcells is like his mentor, kind of, so there will be an endless supply of coaches in the NFL that are willing to give Jacoby Brissette a job.

• 1:50:04Speaker 00

  I mean, Parcells still has the cachet.

• 1:50:06Speaker 03

  And I'm happy for it too, like, Jacoby Brissette seems like the kinda guy that you would want to have an endless supply of jobs.

• 1:50:12Speaker 00

  And if you catch Jacoby Brissette in the right, like, five-minute span, he can look really good.

• 1:50:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:50:18Speaker 00

  If you watch the whole game, no.

• 1:50:20Speaker 03

  I would even say it's half by half basis with Jacoby.

• 1:50:23Speaker 00

  It's like, let's go quarter by quarter.

• 1:50:25Speaker 03

  Okay, yeah.

• 1:50:26Speaker 00

  Let's say, quarter by quarter feels right, cuz he can go good quarter, first quarter, bad quarter, bad quarter, good quarter.

• 1:50:31Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:50:32Speaker 00

  Lose by 20. Uh, all right, last game, this is gonna be a great game in the afternoon window, 49ers at Seahawks. This is a fun game because it's Seahawks minus three, over, under 45 and a half, how good are the 49ers?

• 1:50:46Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 1:50:47Speaker 00

  That is what this game is to me, I don't even know if they have to win the game for me to come away from it being like they're really good.

• 1:50:53Speaker 03

  I think just don't allow kickoff return for a touchdown in the opening kick.

• 1:50:57Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:50:57Speaker 03

  And, and we got progress.

• 1:50:58Speaker 00

  And how does your offense, which is unbelievable, look against the Seahawks defense? And listen, the, the 49ers, uh, defense has played good ball in the fact they don't give up explosives, and you know that, that Sam Darnold's gonna wanna try to push the ball downfield, I'm very excited for this.

• 1:51:14Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:51:14Speaker 00

  Very excited.

• 1:51:15Speaker 03

  Is it, uh, the, the 49ers win this game, let's say Brock Purdy, hypothetical stat line, two touchdowns, no interceptions, 280 yards, is Brock Purdy your MVP through five weeks?

• 1:51:27Speaker 00

  I think he is right now, anyway.

• 1:51:29Speaker 03

  I think he is.

• 1:51:30Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:51:30Speaker 03

  I think he is, I, I think we need to have a discussion just as, as Americans, we need to prepare ourselves, like Brock Purdy, he is the MVP right now.

• 1:51:39Speaker 00

  Will he get sacked?

• 1:51:41Speaker 03

  I think so.

• 1:51:42Speaker 00

  I think he's gonna get sacked this week.

• 1:51:43Speaker 03

  McDonald's too good.

• 1:51:44Speaker 00

  Yeah, because he hasn't been sacked so far, it's pretty fucking awesome.

• 1:51:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:51:49Speaker 00

  Yeah, I'm excited for this game, big time excited, especially with what happened last year where it was just not even a competitive game in the playoffs.

• 1:51:56Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:51:57Speaker 00

  This is gonna be, this is gonna be a, a fun one.

• 1:51:59Speaker 03

  Do you think the Seahawks miss Kenneth Walker?

• 1:52:02Speaker 00

  Yes, especially with all the injuries, now, so they didn't, they brought in Joe Mixon, but then said nah?

• 1:52:07Speaker 03

  I guess so, so he had mystery foot.

• 1:52:10Speaker 00

  Someone, I saw someone start a rumor that he shot his own foot.

• 1:52:13Speaker 05

  Dead foot?

• 1:52:13Speaker 03

  He had a mystery foot.

• 1:52:14Speaker 00

  Someone said he shot his own.

• 1:52:15Speaker 05

  That's what happened to me.

• 1:52:16Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:52:17Speaker 03

  That's true.

• 1:52:17Speaker 00

  It turns out the Seahawks decided not to go, uh, sign veteran running back Joe Mixon to their practice squad after he underwent a physical for the team, per league source, Mixon remained free, do you think they just took off his shoe and they're like, hey, did you shoot your foot?

• 1:52:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, they were like, gross.

• 1:52:31Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's a, that's just a rumor, by the way, it's not actually real, I don't think.

• 1:52:34Speaker 03

  He might just have funky feet.

• 1:52:36Speaker 00

  That's true.

• 1:52:37Speaker 03

  And they're like, ew, no, no thanks, but yeah, the whole, the way that it went down in Houston was very strange, um, to the point where like, I think we probably don't want to know all the details behind everything.

• 1:52:47Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:52:48Speaker 03

  Uh, because it was so weirdly secretive about it, uh, so, yeah, he, he got a, an invite out to Seattle, it sounded, they're not gonna fly him out if they're not gonna sign him, right? And then they did the physical.

• 1:52:57Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:52:57Speaker 03

  And they said, no, we can't, we can't do it, but I think that they do miss Kenneth Walker a lot.

• 1:53:02Speaker 00

  A lot.

• 1:53:02Speaker 03

  I don't know if they regret, I mean, the way that it worked out, he, all he did was get, uh, Super Bowl MVP and then probably increase the price of the sale by like a hundred million dollars or more.

• 1:53:12Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:53:13Speaker 03

  And then he left, cuz they were like, no, we can't give you any money, we, we don't really have any, but thank you for making us all that money this year.

• 1:53:19Speaker 00

  Uh, not a credible source, Wyatt's World, no offense to Wyatt's World.

• 1:53:24Speaker 04

  Content creator for Bill's Mafia.

• 1:53:26Speaker 00

  Oh, okay, yeah, he said, I'm hearing rumors that Joe Mixon literally shot himself in the foot and blew his toe clean off. What's sad is that it's a very, very believable story.

• 1:53:36Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 1:53:38Speaker 00

  But you're the one reporting it.

• 1:53:40Speaker 04

  Algo Stellar also said, not a rumor, wasn't his toe either, and it was, it was the middle of his foot.

• 1:53:46Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:53:47Speaker 03

  He blew the middle of his foot off?

• 1:53:48Speaker 04

  So we got Wyatt's World and Algo Stellar.

• 1:53:50Speaker 00

  That's such a brutal to be like, I shot, I shot myself in my foot.

• 1:53:54Speaker 03

  You can't really, you can't really blow off the middle of your foot, can you?

• 1:53:58Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:53:59Speaker 03

  That's like pretty, if you blow off the middle of it, you blow off the whole foot.

• 1:54:01Speaker 00

  Yeah, the whole thing's gone.

• 1:54:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:54:05Speaker 00

  Degenerate foot issue is what doctors are saying. Oh, there is a bunch of people saying he did this. Oh, man. All right, Joe Mixon. Maybe you gotta come out and do like a foot reveal?

• 1:54:17Speaker 03

  Nah, you gotta make people pay for that.

• 1:54:19Speaker 00

  What is it? What's the only feet?

• 1:54:20Speaker 03

  Tootsie's.

• 1:54:22Speaker 00

  Is there a Tootsie's? Is there a website? Oh, Foot Finder, Foot Finder. Yeah, yeah. Joe Mixon just does a foot reveal on Foot Finder. Uh, number one offense according to DVOA versus number one defense according to DVOA. Excited.

• 1:54:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:54:35Speaker 00

  Do you guys have a lean in this game? I kinda wanna take the Niners.

• 1:54:38Speaker 05

  Seahawks.

• 1:54:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, I was thinking Seahawks too.

• 1:54:40Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:54:41Speaker 03

  But no.

• 1:54:42Speaker 05

  I hope the Niners win.

• 1:54:43Speaker 03

  It feels like it's probably gonna be a field goal game one way or the other.

• 1:54:46Speaker 00

  Yeah. All right. Uh, last game, Sunday Night Football, Ravens, Falcons. Ravens are plus three and a half. Over under is forty-three and a half. Tyler Huntley. So Lamar's injury is enough that he's gonna be out for a couple of weeks. Tyler Huntley.

• 1:55:00Speaker 05

  Mid ankle sprain.

• 1:55:01Speaker 00

  Mid ankle sprain.

• 1:55:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's not high, it's not low.

• 1:55:05Speaker 00

  So it's like a lame ankle sprain?

• 1:55:07Speaker 03

  I don't know. When somebody says like, I'm not tall, I'm not short, that means that you're short.

• 1:55:12Speaker 00

  Mid ankle sprain.

• 1:55:13Speaker 03

  So it might be more lower than it is mid.

• 1:55:16Speaker 00

  I, I, uh, all right, so let's start with this. Falcons been awesome. Awesome. They also are wearing their red jersey, black pants combo on Sunday Night Football. So they're gonna, they are, they have been awesome. They're going to look awesome. The prime time Falcons have been a thing this season. I think I'm gonna bet the Ravens just because it's such a sell high spot on the Falcons. Falcons could win the game by a field goal. Like Tyler Huntley isn't, he's gonna keep them in the game-ish.

• 1:55:48Speaker 03

  Right. I, I wonder what's gonna happen. You think Cam Jergens gonna play?

• 1:55:52Speaker 00

  I doubt it, right?

• 1:55:53Speaker 03

  Well, yeah, why not? Remember, we talked about the guy that had been filling in for him?

• 1:55:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:55:58Speaker 03

  Like, they had, they had a guard that had never played center before, a rookie that was trying to snap the ball. So I feel like they probably are gonna try to get him to play.

• 1:56:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, you might be right.

• 1:56:07Speaker 03

  I don't know, Max, he's been playing for the Birds, right?

• 1:56:13Speaker 04

  You're gonna have to ask me again.

• 1:56:14Speaker 03

  Jergens.

• 1:56:15Speaker 04

  Oh, Jergens. He's been playing left guard. He's been bad. He's been the worst, worst ranked player in the NFL.

• 1:56:20Speaker 03

  Because he's center.

• 1:56:21Speaker 04

  But he was also bad in his first game as a center and he was also bad last year as a center. But I like Cam Jergens.

• 1:56:27Speaker 03

  I'm just thinking, we're trying to figure out if he's gonna play or not.

• 1:56:29Speaker 04

  He's not gonna play. He has, he's in concussion protocol.

• 1:56:32Speaker 03

  Oh, okay. Okay, glad we went to you.

• 1:56:35Speaker 00

  He got traded while in concussion.

• 1:56:36Speaker 03

  Are you in concussion protocol, Max?

• 1:56:38Speaker 04

  Uh, I could be. I was looking, hand up. I've had a bad, I haven't been locked in on this episode. Hand up.

• 1:56:45Speaker 00

  What happened?

• 1:56:46Speaker 04

  I don't know. We start, I started thinking about my bets for tonight and then I started placing.

• 1:56:49Speaker 03

  He was on his phone.

• 1:56:50Speaker 04

  Yeah, I just, I just, I just took White Sox, White Sox minus one oh five for tonight. I like the White Sox tonight.

• 1:56:57Speaker 00

  Okay, that'll be really, really good for when people get to this portion of the episode.

• 1:57:01Speaker 04

  But yeah, Cam Jergens not gonna play. It looks like he's going to make his debut next week for the Ravens.

• 1:57:07Speaker 03

  Okay, this is, I'm glad that we went to Max on this one.

• 1:57:09Speaker 00

  By the way, Harold Perkins Jr. For the Falcons, been, they, that was a home run pick through four weeks. He's been awesome. He's obviously, remember the guy who popped his, I think it was his freshman year at LSU and then had not, maybe not a great, uh, couple of years after that, but he looks awesome. And that, like, when you get a draft pick like that, not a top draft pick, who, who plays well, that's a big bonus for their team. And I know the Falcons have some injuries on defense that they're still dealing with, but I, they, they might be good. I don't know. This is like.

• 1:57:42Speaker 03

  I mean, they, yeah, they got some injuries, but they're, they're very, very good against the run.

• 1:57:47Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:57:47Speaker 03

  On defense.

• 1:57:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, I'm saying they're gonna get healthy. That's kinda more like this is, they should get stronger and stronger. And it sucks that we can't do Lamar Jackson versus an NFC team because that's free money. Can't say free money, but he wins all the time against NFC.

• 1:58:01Speaker 03

  It's very cheap money.

• 1:58:01Speaker 00

  Yeah. Tyler Huntley, Snoop Huntley. He's a Pro Bowler.

• 1:58:05Speaker 03

  Pro Bowler, good, good backup. And this happens all the time. He's, it's not like a surprise that he's gonna have to play.

• 1:58:11Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:58:12Speaker 03

  This is a mildly boring stat, but maybe you don't remember, but, uh, the Ravens selected Hayden Hurst in the draft originally. And they took him before they drafted Lamar Jackson. Remember that?

• 1:58:25Speaker 00

  I do.

• 1:58:25Speaker 03

  And then now he is a Falcon.

• 1:58:27Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 1:58:27Speaker 03

  So revenge game.

• 1:58:29Speaker 00

  So they got, the Falcons got a player better than Lamar Jackson?

• 1:58:32Speaker 03

  They have, yeah, they have, they've got a better, maybe two players that are better than Lamar Jackson.

• 1:58:36Speaker 00

  Per draft order. Okay, uh, do you wanna?

• 1:58:39Speaker 03

  Is, uh, is their offensive lineman gonna play?

• 1:58:42Speaker 00

  Who?

• 1:58:42Speaker 03

  Uh, why?

• 1:58:43Speaker 00

  Oh, Jake Matthews.

• 1:58:44Speaker 03

  Jake Matthews. Jake Matthews. It's gonna be like his, what, two hundred?

• 1:58:46Speaker 00

  Two hundred start. There's only been a few guys have done that in a row. Uh, let's see. News, Jake Matthews. Jake Matthews. Uh...

• 1:58:56Speaker 04

  Jake Matthews and Zedarius Smith, who were estimated as DNPs yesterday, are both on the field going through stretches and.

• 1:59:02Speaker 03

  All right, he's gonna play.

• 1:59:04Speaker 00

  Okay. Good for him. Two hundred starts in a row in the NFL is insane.

• 1:59:08Speaker 03

  Especially, yeah, at linemen. Good for him.

• 1:59:10Speaker 00

  Who started two hundred games. I know Favre, obviously.

• 1:59:14Speaker 03

  Eli?

• 1:59:15Speaker 00

  NFL, maybe Eli, uh, AI mode. I'm gonna go AI mode. Guys started two hundred NFL games. Nope, I got it wrong. It doesn't have, it doesn't give it to me the way I need it. Consecutive. Max, give me consecutive.

• 1:59:31Speaker 04

  I said scored.

• 1:59:33Speaker 00

  Scored two hundred games in a row?

• 1:59:35Speaker 04

  Stupid. And I didn't even say NFL. I'm panicking.

• 1:59:37Speaker 00

  Uh, Cromartie.

• 1:59:38Speaker 04

  I'm having a bad.

• 1:59:38Speaker 00

  Oh, all right, I got it. Brett Favre, uh, two hundred and ninety-seven. That's insane. Uh, Jim Marshall, two hundred and seventy. Phil Rivers, two forty-three. Bill Romanowski, two forty-three. Bruce Matthews, Jake Matthews' dad. That's pretty insane to have both of them. Uh, London Fletcher, Eli Manning was two ten. Peyton was two oh eight. So there's a, there's a good list. There's like twenty, twenty-five guys. Pretty insane though, to be able to do that.

• 2:00:04Speaker 03

  London Fletcher maybe should be in the Hall of Fame.

• 2:00:06Speaker 00

  Yeah. Ronde Barber, two fifteen. Yeah, wait, what is his name? London Fletcher Baker?

• 2:00:13Speaker 03

  He changes to London Fletcher Baker for one or two years.

• 2:00:15Speaker 00

  And then switched back?

• 2:00:16Speaker 03

  To London Fletcher. But if you look at London Fletcher's all time, like his tackles?

• 2:00:20Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:00:20Speaker 03

  He's, all of his stats are right up there with Ray Lewis, except Ray Lewis has two Super Bowls and, uh, one obstruction of justice charge. And London Fletcher has one Super Bowl.

• 2:00:30Speaker 00

  Yeah. Jeff Eagles.

• 2:00:36Speaker 00

  Two hundred, they shouldn't count kickers or.

• 2:00:38Speaker 03

  No, kickers. That's not, that's not real.

• 2:00:40Speaker 00

  All right. Do we have, uh, Jerry's fantasy minute? Jerry, by the way, I saw his video the other day of his shirt off. He looks awesome.

• 2:00:48Speaker 03

  Oh, he knows it too.

• 2:00:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, he's looking really good. Okay, here he is. And it's one oh one, so you're gonna have to cut it short.

• 2:00:56Speaker 07

  Okay, doing some breath work, doing some energy work, because we need some good energy out there from Jacoby Brissette. We're starting Woody Marks and Juans Johnson. We need fifty points from them. Okay, start the music, Bean. Start the music. Here we go. We are gonna sit Max and LeBron for being in the deep state. People who are in the deep state say they're not in the deep state. So Max, you saying you're not knowing what the deep state is means you do know what the deep state is. We're gonna start Hank for giving me a plug in my new streaming show, The Stream From Hell on Prime Video. Shout out Kaisenath and Drusky. Hank, you're my number one fan. Also shout out Hank. There's a new plane lady doing Randy thinks to herself a crazy plane lady. So we're gonna start you for that. We love that. Look at the video. It's pretty cool. We're gonna start Stella

• 2:01:38Speaker 07

  Blue Coffee, which is on Amazon. We're gonna also, uh, sit Big Cat for making believe he's a nice agent. Uh, stream Jacoby, stream, uh, stream, uh, the Cincinnati Bengals defense because they're playing Miami and they stink. Fuck you, Big Cat. Uh, fuck you, Cole.

• 2:01:55Speaker 00

  All right. It's perfect. Perfect. What is he, what is he doing?

• 2:02:00Speaker 03

  It looks like he's got some crystals on his body. He's doing the Hollywood stuff. You know how that goes.

• 2:02:04Speaker 00

  Do you think like the, the woman who has to do the massage had to do that video? Is it, like, that's worse than what Robert Kraft did.

• 2:02:10Speaker 04

  If anyone was in the deep fake, it's him.

• 2:02:12Speaker 03

  The what?

• 2:02:13Speaker 00

  Deep state. Oh, he, oh, classic. He's pretending he doesn't even know.

• 2:02:18Speaker 04

  The, the, it's him. Look at him. He's doing the.

• 2:02:20Speaker 00

  Yeah, but you just called it deep fake so that we'd be like, oh, yeah, you really don't know the deep state. You called it deep fake.

• 2:02:27Speaker 04

  I said deep state.

• 2:02:28Speaker 03

  It's a deep fake. Need to lock in, Max.

• 2:02:31Speaker 04

  I think, yeah, no, I'm, I'm gonna have to watch you all twenty-two on my performance today, but I don't think it's good coming off of first impression.

• 2:02:37Speaker 03

  No, it's all right. It's all right. Hey, we'll regroup. Long season.

• 2:02:42Speaker 00

  Because I said Kittle and then he's like, nah, he's not gonna score three weeks in a row. And then he did. So I then went up on Raw.

• 2:04:21Speaker 03

  I mean, you can let him in, but you know, he's just gonna take Kittle.

• 2:04:26Speaker 00

  Is he?

• 2:04:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:04:27Speaker 00

  Okay. Max, go ahead. Do your pick.

• 2:04:29Speaker 04

  I'll go Kittle.

• 2:04:31Speaker 00

  Okay. PFT and Hank?

• 2:04:34Speaker 05

  I was actually gonna do that.

• 2:04:37Speaker 00

  Should've said Kittle for three scores.

• 2:04:39Speaker 05

  Um, give me...

• 2:04:47Speaker 05

  RJ Harvey.

• 2:04:49Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:04:50Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 2:04:53Speaker 03

  I'm going to go, I'm gonna go Chalky. I'll take Bijon.

• 2:04:57Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:04:58Speaker 03

  I think he's best, best running back in football right now.

• 2:05:00Speaker 00

  Let's leave him one of us, one of, one of them for the night. Okay, picks. Who goes first? PFT?

• 2:05:06Speaker 03

  I think I went first last time.

• 2:05:07Speaker 00

  Yeah. All right, I will go with the one game we didn't, uh, preview. I'm gonna take the Rams minus three. My picks have been really, really bad. Gotta get better.

• 2:05:21Speaker 05

  I'll take the Chargers plus three and a half.

• 2:05:26Speaker 04

  Lions.

• 2:05:27Speaker 05

  Over fifty-four and a half.

• 2:05:29Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:05:31Speaker 04

  I am going to take the Texans Titans under thirty-eight and a half.

• 2:05:37Speaker 03

  Hmm. Good pick.

• 2:05:38Speaker 00

  Good pick.

• 2:05:39Speaker 03

  I'm gonna take the Falcons minus three in the Ravens game. Okay. It's three and a half? No, it's three. You're right.

• 2:05:47Speaker 03

  I'm going to take

• 2:05:53Speaker 03

  the

• 2:05:55Speaker 03

  Bengals Dolphins under forty-two and a half.

• 2:06:00Speaker 00

  And?

• 2:06:01Speaker 03

  I'm also going to take the New England Patriots

• 2:06:06Speaker 03

  minus three and a half.

• 2:06:09Speaker 05

  Have you taken the Patriots every week?

• 2:06:10Speaker 03

  No, just the last two.

• 2:06:12Speaker 05

  And the first one?

• 2:06:14Speaker 03

  Did I take it for week one?

• 2:06:16Speaker 00

  No, no, because it was a Wednesday game.

• 2:06:18Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:06:19Speaker 00

  Zach?

• 2:06:20Speaker 03

  I'm gonna take the

• 2:06:23Speaker 03

  over in the Browns Jets game.

• 2:06:28Speaker 04

  If I was picking with my head, I would take the Jets, but because I'm picking with my heart, I'm gonna take the Eagles plus seven and a half.

• 2:06:35Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:06:37Speaker 04

  But just so you know.

• 2:06:38Speaker 03

  Your head, your head says Jets.

• 2:06:40Speaker 04

  Jets.

• 2:06:41Speaker 05

  I will take.

• 2:06:44Speaker 04

  Doesn't exist.

• 2:06:44Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 2:06:45Speaker 04

  Memes can't exist.

• 2:06:46Speaker 03

  Pretty fucked up.

• 2:06:47Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 2:06:47Speaker 03

  Memes, would you like to go, sir?

• 2:06:49Speaker 05

  I would like to go. I would take the Bears minus two and a half.

• 2:06:52Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 2:06:53Speaker 05

  Line should be minus ten.

• 2:06:56Speaker 03

  Love that.

• 2:06:59Speaker 00

  I mean, there's a chance. I think there is a

• 2:07:02Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's gonna be skull fuck.

• 2:07:02Speaker 00

  I think it could be a skull fucking. I'll be upset if it's not a mini skull fucking.

• 2:07:08Speaker 05

  I will take the over in Browns Jets. Weather isn't real. Zach just took that. You took the over?

• 2:07:13Speaker 00

  Wow. Zach and memes are a ratio.

• 2:07:15Speaker 05

  I'll take the under in Browns Jets. Weather, it's gonna be really bad weather.

• 2:07:21Speaker 03

  That, you know what that is? That's a natural fade.

• 2:07:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, natural fade.

• 2:07:24Speaker 03

  Like, that's a great pick, actually.

• 2:07:26Speaker 05

  I just heard, I heard him say Browns Jets. I assumed he took the under because it's gonna be like a hurricane.

• 2:07:33Speaker 03

  I will take the under. And you're calling him dumb. For, you didn't listen to him pick and now you're like, he's really dumb for that pick.

• 2:07:39Speaker 05

  No, I was gonna take the same pick.

• 2:07:42Speaker 03

  Alright.

• 2:07:43Speaker 00

  I will take the under in the Jags Eagles game, forty-one and a half.

• 2:07:49Speaker 04

  Don't hate that.

• 2:07:49Speaker 00

  I just, I don't, I don't really wanna pay attention to this.

• 2:07:52Speaker 05

  You know what we call that?

• 2:07:53Speaker 00

  The Lunder. Is it in, yeah, it's in London.

• 2:07:57Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 2:08:00Speaker 04

  Brown's gonna be at the game. I like that.

• 2:08:01Speaker 00

  He's going?

• 2:08:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:08:03Speaker 00

  Oh, hell.

• 2:08:03Speaker 05

  Angelo.

• 2:08:05Speaker 04

  Angelo's Palatino.

• 2:08:06Speaker 00

  Save the season. And he's gonna save the season. Alright, let's get to Anthony Rizzo in studio talking baseball and then we'll finish with Fire Fest of the week.

• 2:08:17Speaker 03

  Before we get to Anthony Rizzo, he's brought to you by our great friends at Tick Pick, the no nonsense ticket app. Ovi has officially announced his retirement. That means ticket prices for the Caps this year are going up, especially the final regular season home game. I plan on going to a couple of Ovi games this year, going to see the Caps on the road when they're in Chicago, and maybe stop by, see him at home as the season winds down as well. Um, what do you guess the cheapest, the cheapest ticket is right now for Ovi's final home game?

• 2:08:48Speaker 05

  Two hundred and ninety dollars.

• 2:08:52Speaker 03

  Any other guesses?

• 2:08:53Speaker 04

  Eight hundred and forty-three dollars.

• 2:08:54Speaker 03

  Six hundred seventy-one dollars is the cheapest right now for Ovi's, uh, final game at home. It's on the Tick Pick app. And you know the runaround with big ticket sites, fees layered into the final cost and you're left wondering whether you overpaid. Tick Pick doesn't play that game.

But, uh, if you want tickets, go to Tick Pick. Always the cheapest. Shout out Tick Pick. Best prices in the world.

• 2:10:40Speaker 00

  Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest, recurring guest, World Series champion. It is Anthony Rizzo in studio because you're a psycho dude. Why are you running the marathon? You have a World Series ring. You never have to buy a beer again in Chicago. You had an incredible baseball career. You're now doing, uh, baseball analysis on NBC. You had an, you have an awesome podcast that you released with David Ross, uh, this past season that you guys are gonna continue. There is literally no reason to run a marathon. What are you doing?

• 2:11:15Speaker 07

  I wanted to tell everyone, the best part about running a marathon is that you get to tell everyone that you're running the marathon.

• 2:11:21Speaker 00

  But that doesn't apply to you because when you, if you meet someone, you tell them I'm a World Series champion.

• 2:11:27Speaker 07

  No, no, you have to play humble on that card. Now that I'm a runner, which I claim I'm a runner, I'm running the marathon. So I know Dave has strong

• 2:11:36Speaker 00

  Yes, yes.

• 2:11:37Speaker 07

  Opinions on the marathon. I saw you just ran the Tunnels of Towers, but

• 2:11:42Speaker 07

  Emily ran New York.

• 2:11:43Speaker 00

  Your wife, yeah.

• 2:11:44Speaker 07

  A few years ago. So that, seeing her training and doing all that and running, they say if you run slower, you end up running faster. Alright, I can try that, right? So I go out and run a slow mile. I'm like, oh, this doesn't feel too bad. And then I just got into it and then with the ten-year anniversary, I was like, alright, let's, let's raise a lot of money for our, our foundation and try to run this thing. What, what better city to do than in Chicago?

• 2:12:09Speaker 07

  The last like two months, I've regretted my decision heavily, but now that we're on the end of training and ready to go, I feel good.

• 2:12:15Speaker 00

  Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, it is funny for you to like, because you know, you have, uh, a young child and like you're now going into the next chapter of your life. I, I do like the idea of you like going to like a parent teacher function or something and someone being like, are you an athlete? And it's like, no, I just ran a marathon. And not mentioning anything about the Major League Baseball career, having them figure that out later.

• 2:12:37Speaker 07

  I can't wait to wear my medal, you know, in the, in the airport. Like, I'm gonna be wearing it everywhere.

• 2:12:42Speaker 03

  You get the sticker?

• 2:12:44Speaker 07

  The what?

• 2:12:44Speaker 03

  Twenty-six point two sticker?

• 2:12:45Speaker 00

  You gotta get a sticker.

• 2:12:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:12:46Speaker 07

  Oh, you get stickers?

• 2:12:47Speaker 03

  You don't know about the sticker?

• 2:12:48Speaker 07

  No.

• 2:12:49Speaker 03

  That's the only reason you run a, that's the only reason that you run a marathon.

• 2:12:52Speaker 00

  Yeah. Get the bumper sticker.

• 2:12:54Speaker 07

  I'm gonna put it on my laptop for our show.

• 2:12:56Speaker 03

  Yeah, get it tattooed on you. Yeah, twenty-six point two, no big deal.

• 2:12:59Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:12:59Speaker 03

  Uh, yeah, no, I mean, that's gonna be very, very impressive. What you're doing now, though, is smart because you're also getting the congratulations before you run it.

• 2:13:06Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:13:07Speaker 03

  So you're doing like the pre-marathon announcements.

• 2:13:09Speaker 07

  It's like a whole, yeah, exactly.

• 2:13:10Speaker 03

  Afterwards, you'll take a victory lap.

• 2:13:11Speaker 07

  And everyone's like, oh, what's your time? What's your time? Like, listen, I'm gonna run this thing as fast as I can. I've never been fast in my life. But I have the built-in excuse, I'll just stop and take pictures with fans.

• 2:13:21Speaker 00

  Yeah, true.

• 2:13:21Speaker 07

  You know what I mean? I'm gonna enjoy it. So.

• 2:13:24Speaker 03

  What's your mile time down to now?

• 2:13:26Speaker 07

  Uh, shorter miles, I could probably bust off like nine minute.

• 2:13:30Speaker 00

  Wait, what do you mean shorter miles?

• 2:13:31Speaker 07

  Like, oh, if you're doing. Three, five, ten miles, but.

• 2:13:34Speaker 00

  I thought you were saying like, like, uh, you know, a half a mile. Yeah, I could do like nine minute half mile.

• 2:13:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:13:41Speaker 07

  But the longer runs, those, I don't know. I was, I ran twenty miles a few weeks ago and I was on mile seventeen and I was so desperate, I stopped at a hot dog vendor in New York and I just started drinking a Coke. I was like, I, I don't even know what else to do.

• 2:13:56Speaker 03

  Training's going well.

• 2:13:56Speaker 07

  I don't even like Coke, right?

• 2:14:00Speaker 03

  That's awesome. Big Cap brings up a good point, though, because I, I've heard that too, that you'll never buy another beer in Chicago. Do you, have you bought a beer since two thousand sixteen?

• 2:14:08Speaker 07

  I, that, people take care of me very, very nicely here. They treat me kindly, but that is a very big myth. I've seen it for a lot of beers, but there is a lot of perks of winning. But I remember, you know, you have this dream, right? The imagination of never paying for anything again. I'm not kidding, literally our first dinner we went to after we won the World Series, I still have the receipt. I won't call the restaurant out. They gave me just like a twenty percent discount.

• 2:14:34Speaker 00

  Oh, no, that's crazy. That is exactly when, especially like the week after, you need to just be like, these guys don't pay for anything.

• 2:14:43Speaker 07

  Right, yeah, so, but.

• 2:14:44Speaker 00

  You should do like a video like in ten years being like, I'm like going to bars and just being like, do you know who I am? I'm not paying.

• 2:14:52Speaker 03

  I thought where you, I'd go to bars and I would, I would order one beer and then I'd just look around and just wait and see if anyone's gonna get it.

• 2:14:59Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:14:59Speaker 03

  And then if, if no one gets it, you leave. You never go back to that place.

• 2:15:02Speaker 07

  Yeah, just walk out and not pay the tab. If they come and get me, I'm like, really? You're gonna make a scene here?

• 2:15:06Speaker 03

  I was told I wouldn't have to pay for any more beers.

• 2:15:09Speaker 00

  Yeah. Alright, can we talk about the playoffs this year? So, uh, Dodgers Brewers set for the NLCS.

• 2:15:18Speaker 00

  Do the Brewers have any chance of beating the Dodgers? It feels like, and, and you could tell me if this is just, the Dodgers, we were talking about the other day, Kike Hernandez, like Andy Pies. They have their seventh, eighth, ninth best guys will come up with clutch hits. They don't even need Shohei and, I mean, Freddie Freeman was great too. But they don't even need their best players. They can just have their, their, their bottom of the lineup guys get big hits. It feels unstoppable.

• 2:15:42Speaker 07

  They feel unstoppable. I mean, their pitching is banged up. That's their one kind of Achilles. Especially their starters, if their starters can't go deep, it just puts a lot of pressure on their bullpen. But that lineup, man, I, I was, I talked about it with Rossi on our show.

• 2:15:59Speaker 07

  Uh, Kike Hernandez is a blend of Shohei, Aaron Judge, and Babe Ruth.

• 2:16:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:16:02Speaker 07

  In October. It's, it's like, at this point, it's just, it's a joke what he's doing.

• 2:16:07Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:16:07Speaker 07

  So Max Muncy's hitting six, I think his first game he's hitting eighth.

• 2:16:12Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:16:13Speaker 07

  But there, the only thing is their pitching, right? If, if Blake Snell and Glas now can't go deep, they're gonna really rely on Scoobal and Yamamoto, which I mean, who would wanna, right? You know what I mean? So I, do the Brewers, the Brewers brand of baseball is so good.

• 2:16:31Speaker 00

  Yeah, what, what is it about them where they're just always putting pressure? Like, is it just, does that get in your head when you're playing a team against like the Brewers where it's like, you just know they're gonna bunt or run, be aggressive on the base path? How does that change how you, how you like play against them?

• 2:16:45Speaker 07

  I mean, for defensively, you just know you have to be clean. You know they, they busted down the line, they're fat.

• 2:16:51Speaker 02

  They have speed. They're going to steal bases. They do the little things, right? And their bullpen is dominant. So I mean, the Brewers have to get off to a fast start. Whether they win or lose game one, as long as their guys settle in and get hits. Trillo keeps doing what he's doing. Contreras keeps doing what he's doing. I think it'll be a better series than people think, but I, I just, I think the Dodgers are too good.

• 2:17:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, there've been a lot of discussions this postseason about tipping pitches and the White Sox and the Guardians. They had a little, like, are they tipping or are they not? There was the Brewers game the other night. So like, every team's always looking for an edge. How, how real is the edge that you get as a, as a batter if a pitcher is tipping pitches and you've got a guy on second?

• 2:17:35Speaker 02

  That's huge. I mean, in the wild card game, I found out afterwards, Cam Schittler was tipping his pitches.

• 2:17:42Speaker 03

  Oh, really?

• 2:17:42Speaker 02

  I don't know if the Red Sox picked up on it or not, but you go back and look and sure enough, he's doing what someone said he was doing. So it's as a hitter, I, it's all I ever looked for. All I ever looked for was how they, a guy put the ball in the glove, what they do with their mouth, what they do with their hand positioning. Cause they, all these pitchers, they're pitchers at the end of the day. That's what I, I never give them too much credit. They call themselves athletes. I don't call them athletes, they're pitchers. But they have to, you know, some guys grip the split and they go into their glove and it, they switch in their glove. So, I think it's great for the game. I think it's a great part of the game.

• 2:18:19Speaker 03

  Yeah, the cat and mouse is great.

• 2:18:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, but that stuff's real.

• 2:18:22Speaker 03

  So, so when you, if you're, if you're like prime Anthony Rizzo and you just know that it's going to be like, he's tipping pitches and you just know it's going to be a fastball, like you just have that much of an advantage, right? Like that's the, you're going to always hit basically get good contact on a pitch that you know what style it's going to be.

• 2:18:40Speaker 02

  It's, it's like if, if they were tipping, if I knew it wasn't a change up with a righty, that's a whole different game plan I have. So if he does something fastball slider and then he does something, I know it's not a change up. I can gear up for the fastball and see the, the slider or curveball pop. So it's things like that. The Reds, Cincinnati Reds used to always set up early inside on me, always. So I'd have someone from the dugout just scream, come on, Riz. And then I would just run the numbers in my head saying, what's the count? And pretty much if you're setting up early in me, in early on me, early in the count, it's a fastball.

• 2:19:16Speaker 03

  Right.

• 2:19:16Speaker 02

  So I could just sell out. So it's things like that where, look, you guys got to clean up your end. Obviously we're not stealing signs like back in the day, they're doing, but it's just all gamesmanship in my opinion.

• 2:19:28Speaker 03

  Yeah. But yeah, I, I feel like as long as electricity doesn't come into it, as long as eyes, ears, that's, that's fine. That's fair game. If you, if you don't want to get caught doing it, get a better way to, to grip the ball and, and make sure that your hands hidden in that glove. That's on you as a pitcher. But it is, it's fun to see like the, the back and forth of that. And then the Brewers with their pitcher, Miz just throwing like absolute gas, 103, 104 miles an hour. When that speed of a pitch is coming in, how long, do you actually pick up on the spin? Do you know? Or are you just guessing? Hey, this is probably going to be a fastball every time?

• 2:20:03Speaker 02

  He's, he's just, he's like a builder player. Honestly, he's a creative player. It's, he has the most extension in the league and I'm not a big analytical guy, but that means he's releasing the ball closer to you than everyone else already. And it's 105. So I, I didn't, I didn't face him. Uh, I think the hardest I faced was 102, 103.

• 2:20:26Speaker 02

  I do think Velo at some point, it's just velocity, right? It's a very big difference between 100 and 105. You gotta get ready for it, but it's the breaking stuff. That's so much harder to hit. It's just so much sharper. And that's why you look, see guys looking like just idiots swinging sometimes. Cause you, you're up there playing defense sometimes on offense.

• 2:20:46Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah. So, so it's not the, the 105, it's the fact that everything else looks so different from 105.

• 2:20:52Speaker 02

  And then it's 105 and then he's going, his slider is 92, his change up is 90. So that's a 15 mile an hour difference.

• 2:20:59Speaker 03

  Right.

• 2:20:59Speaker 02

  Sometimes he's throwing pitches in the 80s. So it's like, you're gearing up for 105 every time. And then he breaks off something else and you're like, oh my God, this is, he's cheating.

• 2:21:08Speaker 03

  And the late breaking stuff, that may, that's pretty much impossible. Like if it's going to be a slider, if it's a fastball, it looks exactly the same on the way in.

• 2:21:15Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 2:21:16Speaker 03

  Are, are guys just guessing up there? Cause there's no way that they can pick that up, right?

• 2:21:20Speaker 02

  It's pretty much, you, you have all the numbers on what these guys like to do, the scouting reports. But at the end of the day, these pitchers, man, like you gotta just watch the game. Because as much as the numbers will tell you, oh, in this count, he's going to throw you this. These guys are so good and they, they keep you on your toes. So it's, the pitching right now is, is something I've, it's, it's insane. It is, it, I watch, everyone's like, oh, the game gets easier when you're done playing. I watch, I'm like, there's no chance I could hit this stuff anymore.

• 2:21:47Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's, it is pretty disgusting to watch some of these guys. I mean, it's basically my biggest complaint about like the current iteration of the Chicago Cubs. Like we just don't have a bunch of guys who are throwing like a hundred plus. And it feels like if you don't have that, you're just in an extreme disadvantage. Like you have to have guys coming out of the bullpen who are throwing that.

• 2:22:07Speaker 02

  You have to. Yeah. Even the starters.

• 2:22:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:22:09Speaker 02

  You look at every team right now still in it, every starter's throwing 97 to 100.

• 2:22:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:22:15Speaker 02

  Right out of this, right out of the get go.

• 2:22:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:22:17Speaker 02

  It's like, here you go, boys. I, I, I've, this game, it's, the game's in a good spot though. I mean, the competition, you have the White Sox are still in it, the Guardians, the Rays, the Brewers, right?

• 2:22:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:22:30Speaker 02

  The only big market team in it is.

• 2:22:32Speaker 03

  The Dodgers. Yeah. I mean, the, uh, the, the Rays were so overlooked going into these playoffs and they're just a good team. Every, every small market team should look at the Rays and say, that's how we want to build our, our franchise. Whatever they're doing, let's copy it because they're, they're, they're making do with a payroll that's a fraction of the amount of the big boys. So from your perspective, how have they been so dominant? I mean, it's been one series against Yankees, but over the course of the season, they were best team in that division and just swept the Yankees. So like, what are they doing? That stands out to you that's different from everyone else?

• 2:23:04Speaker 02

  It's, it's the, pretty much the same brand of baseball as the Brewers. They do the fundamentals, right? They, they pitch, they play defense and they put the ball in play. They've struck out twice against Cam Schittler this year, or in that series, which is the lowest of his career striking out a guy. He led the league, I think, or it was up there in the league in strikeouts. So they just put pressure on putting the ball in play, making you make plays. They're fast. They steal bases. They have power. They have guys who hit for average. It feels like they just keep producing pitchers too and arms. And they go and get Brian Baker from the Orioles, who was a okay reliever there. They turn him into a elite closer now. So it's, I always say it's, it's almost like

• 2:23:48Speaker 02

  a known thing in the league. If you're a struggling pitcher, you want to get to the Rays organization, they'll fix you.

• 2:23:52Speaker 03

  It's that good.

• 2:23:53Speaker 02

  And if you're a struggling hitter, you want to go to the Dodgers organization, they'll fix you. That's kind of.

• 2:23:57Speaker 03

  It's that good.

• 2:23:58Speaker 02

  Yeah, that, that's what it seems like. So many guys get revived their careers when they go to these two organizations.

• 2:24:03Speaker 03

  And I, I think maybe this is just a stupid thing that we think as fans, but like when it comes to coaching, you, it matters that much at that level where it's like, you're still tweaking things constantly and getting, you know, like how many times in your career would you have your hitting coach be like, hey, try this and then it would unlock something like we, we PCA's MVP season, it feels like his swing, the load on his swing changed. How many of those tweaks would happen during the course of a season?

• 2:24:31Speaker 02

  I'd probably say, this might sound crazy, like 50 to 70.

• 2:24:36Speaker 03

  That's nuts.

• 2:24:37Speaker 02

  You're always tweaking, right? Like you're always messing with things. Your hands don't feel right. It's, you're just always trying to get that feel as a hitter. So yeah, there's, I mean, it, guys go day to day. Honestly, I was like, guys are messing with stuff every single day. To our eye, you can't really see it, but coaches will always, it's, it's very small. It's very subtle. So it's not like you're changing everything about you. But for young players that are still trying to make it and stay in the big leagues, the influence on them, I think is a lot bigger than veterans.

• 2:25:10Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:25:10Speaker 02

  Where veterans, just small little adjustments that you're making daily. Where these young players, they go to these organizations and you know, you get the power of belief where a guy Brent comes in and says, hey, man, we believe in your slider. This is why you should throw this more. Or like Freddie Peralta throwing his change up more. This is why you should throw it more. And he's been night and day better of a pitcher than he was with the Mets and then with the Rays. So it's things like that where uh, you just can't quantify it.

• 2:25:36Speaker 03

  Yeah. Has the ball ever looked bigger to you?

• 2:25:40Speaker 02

  When? Now?

• 2:25:40Speaker 03

  No, like it, when you're, when you're playing, if you're in the zone, have you gone on like a, a hit streak and you're like, yeah, the ball looks big.

• 2:25:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's, it seems like, yeah, on those, when you're hot, it doesn't matter what they throw you. It seems like

• 2:25:55Speaker 02

  you swing at a ball out of the zone, you break your bat, it's a hit. Everything they're pitching you, they're missing over the plate more. Uh, yeah, it sometimes it feels like a beach ball. And then sometimes it feels like a sunflower seed.

• 2:26:06Speaker 03

  So how, how much of hitting is, is confidence at that point?

• 2:26:10Speaker 02

  It's pretty much all, if you can feel like you're in a good spot going in. And then the thing is, it's such a game of failure, right? You fail 80% of the time, 70% of the time and you're good. So if you can,

• 2:26:25Speaker 02

  if you can just have the positive outlook on not failing, which you're going to fail and just enjoy the ride and put yourself in a position to hit. That's what was for me like, look, I went up there. I did my best. I was either good or bad and you move on with it.

• 2:26:38Speaker 00

  When was the last time you stood in the box and hit?

• 2:26:43Speaker 02

  Game five of the World Series.

• 2:26:45Speaker 00

  Okay. So it's been that long because I, I tried to, our schedules didn't work out, but I wanted you to be in our home run derby. We got Jason Kipnis instead, and it was funny because Jason Kipnis had, he had not swung a bat since he retired. And it took him like, I don't know, maybe like 15 swings where he like, if you were watching, you're like, this guy doesn't even know what he's doing. And then he hit one and then the rest of the night, it was like every single ball was out. And he's like, yeah, I just, it's, it takes a little, like, there's a little bit of time when you're facing live pitching and then you just got it again. So you could, we gotta get you in that next time.

• 2:27:18Speaker 02

  I'm, I'm actually terrified to do that stuff.

• 2:27:20Speaker 00

  Well, it was slow. It's not fast.

• 2:27:22Speaker 04

  Yeah. You said like, I.

• 2:27:24Speaker 00

  Not live pitching. Yeah. But it was, it was like going like 60. So you could have done it. You could have been fine.

• 2:27:30Speaker 02

  The thing is everyone expects you to hit a homerun every time, right? And you haven't hit, um, the off season going into 2025, after the World Series, I was telling teams, yeah, I'm in great shape, which I was working out, but I didn't, I hadn't touched a bat. Uh, but I was telling everyone, yeah, I'm hitting all this, but no, I didn't touch a bat since, uh, that World Series. I swing now in the living room, uh, with my son just to show him the swing because he loves it.

• 2:27:54Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:27:54Speaker 02

  So that's about it.

• 2:27:55Speaker 03

  Without, um, you ever play like 16 inch softball?

• 2:27:58Speaker 02

  No, but I've, I've been tempted a little bit to go out and mess around with it.

• 2:28:02Speaker 00

  You're welcome to play on the pugs.

• 2:28:04Speaker 03

  You can join our team. Now, if, if you're a ring chasing kind of guy, we are reigning champions.

• 2:28:09Speaker 00

  We just won.

• 2:28:10Speaker 02

  I, I had a team here. I sponsored a team for years here, Tony's kids.

• 2:28:14Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:28:15Speaker 02

  Yeah. I don't know if they ever won the championship, but I never, I never made a cameo on the softball.

• 2:28:20Speaker 04

  Come to the pugs.

• 2:28:21Speaker 00

  You coming out would be pretty fun on the pugs.

• 2:28:23Speaker 03

  It's not content. It's just, just dudes playing softball.

• 2:28:26Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:28:27Speaker 04

  Maybe when we play, play quacking balls next year.

• 2:28:29Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 2:28:31Speaker 02

  Where do you guys play? Lincoln Park?

• 2:28:32Speaker 00

  Yeah. We play North Abfields.

• 2:28:33Speaker 02

  Nice.

• 2:28:34Speaker 00

  Yeah. Max, you have any questions for Anthony as a lefty? Lefty Max was this, uh, Matt Stares of, uh,

• 2:28:39Speaker 04

  Matt Stares of the CAA.

• 2:28:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:28:40Speaker 02

  I love Matt Stares.

• 2:28:41Speaker 00

  Yeah. He, that's, you're looking at.

• 2:28:42Speaker 04

  Well, yeah, I, I gave myself that nickname.

• 2:28:45Speaker 00

  But he did play for Hofstra. Power hitter, lefty.

• 2:28:48Speaker 04

  Pinch hitter, pinch hitter, power hitter.

• 2:28:52Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:28:52Speaker 04

  I'm not gonna lie. I, I did not come prepared with, with a question.

• 2:28:56Speaker 03

  I, I have a question for the two of you.

• 2:28:58Speaker 00

  You could ask, this is like, yeah, the Italian lefty hitters. You got everything together.

• 2:29:02Speaker 03

  Yeah. Is this Max, you got hit by a lot of pitches, right?

• 2:29:05Speaker 04

  I did. That was a thing that I, I took a lot of pride in my game is I never got out of the way. I was a pinch hitter. I think I got like the 12th most at bats on, on my college team. And I think I was second in hit by pitches.

• 2:29:18Speaker 02

  I love that.

• 2:29:19Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:29:19Speaker 03

  It's pretty.

• 2:29:19Speaker 02

  Where, where'd you go to college?

• 2:29:21Speaker 04

  Hofstra.

• 2:29:21Speaker 02

  Okay. Where's that?

• 2:29:23Speaker 00

  Long Island.

• 2:29:25Speaker 03

  Did you have any tips on like how to get hit by pitches better? I was asking.

• 2:29:29Speaker 02

  I got, well, I got hit.

• 2:29:31Speaker 04

  You just don't move.

• 2:29:33Speaker 00

  I, I was gonna say, do you think that you, if you were played in ABS, do you think that you would accidentally challenge a, a pitch that hit you?

• 2:29:43Speaker 02

  I think, I think someone would challenge a pitch.

• 2:29:45Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. Cause you, Rizzo did it multiple times where he would swing while getting hit.

• 2:29:50Speaker 02

  Five times a year minimum, and I would always play it off because I'm so embarrassed.

• 2:29:55Speaker 00

  The best. He'd take a full swing and it would just hit him.

• 2:29:58Speaker 02

  I think, look, I'm the, I'm the number one left-handed hitter of all time, hit by pitches.

• 2:30:04Speaker 03

  That's such an awesome stat.

• 2:30:07Speaker 02

  I think if people have Hall of Fame votes, that should be in the Hall of Fame, right?

• 2:30:10Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Just eat them.

• 2:30:12Speaker 03

  What was the hardest that you ever got hit?

• 2:30:14Speaker 02

  Errol this Chapman, 2017, he hit me in my forearm, like 98, it was in April. We ended up playing a 17 inning game. I got x-rayed during the game and I was like, my arm's broken and it wasn't. And then I had a decision. Do I stay in or do I get pulled? And I stayed in. And ended up hitting a double. So that was like, all right, I was rewarded for staying in, but that, that hurt.

• 2:30:35Speaker 03

  That's pretty cool. Well, yeah, what, I, I think most people, when they get hit by a few pitches, they naturally take a couple of steps back. And they kind of change where they stand. That never occurred to you.

• 2:30:45Speaker 02

  I would get closer.

• 2:30:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:30:47Speaker 00

  Yeah. No, you were, you were always right there.

• 2:30:50Speaker 02

  Especially versus division rivals. If they hit me early in the game, they can't hit me again, right? You can't hit the three hole hitter twice. So I would pretend to be annoyed if they hit me early. I'd be like, what the fuck? You know? It was all a show because then if they're trying to come inside again and they miss just a little bit because they know they can't, if they missed, it's, it's hitting me.

• 2:31:12Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 2:31:13Speaker 02

  Then it's advantage me. So that was my mindset, whether that worked or not, but I believed in it.

• 2:31:18Speaker 03

  I think it did. You're right. Because if they hit you again, it's like, they're going to get thrown out.

• 2:31:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:31:21Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:31:22Speaker 03

  That's just how it's going to go.

• 2:31:23Speaker 00

  Not to bring up bad memories, uh, but we were talking about it because of, uh, the Yankees game two. Yeah. Game two, where they had more errors than hits.

• 2:31:36Speaker 00

  Walk us through the, the World Series inning.

• 2:31:38Speaker 02

  You could bring it up if you want. It's all right.

• 2:31:40Speaker 00

  What happened? How, and also what's, what's gets, how many errors were in that inning?

• 2:31:48Speaker 02

  Was it two maybe?

• 2:31:48Speaker 00

  Yeah. But it was like, just the ball was getting kicked around and it was just.

• 2:31:52Speaker 02

  Drop fly ball, something at first.

• 2:31:55Speaker 00

  What gets said in the dugout after an inning like that? Does anyone try to make a joke?

• 2:32:00Speaker 02

  No, it's more positive. Like, come on, guys, we got this. Um, yeah, I have to refresh me. We either had the lead or we just, we took the lead again.

• 2:32:10Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:32:10Speaker 02

  So after that inning, we still took the lead. We had the lead in that game after that inning, which I think goes unnoticed, but. Yeah. The drop fly ball in center and then there's a ground ball to me, which.

• 2:32:24Speaker 02

  Garrett didn't cover first, which.

• 2:32:26Speaker 00

  That's right. He just never moved, which like, I don't.

• 2:32:28Speaker 02

  Which he was gassed. So, I mean, he was, he was at the end of his line on pitch count, but. Everyone knows me notoriously. I make the pitchers go over because the one time you need them to get there, they don't cover. Um, and it was just a weird spinning ball. So, and I had two broken knuckles on top of that. So, um, it was just. A play that wasn't made and then we end up losing. So like it's magnifying. And then now every time an error is made with the Yankees, it's like, what's going on?

• 2:32:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:32:56Speaker 02

  That, that game recently was, was pretty sloppy.

• 2:32:59Speaker 00

  It was pretty, pretty like sloppy and just kicking the ball around.

• 2:33:02Speaker 03

  The, uh, the, the broken knuckles they had, it, it made me think like, we always hear what the injuries are in football at the end of the season. Nobody's healthy. Going into the playoffs in baseball, is everybody dealing with something at that time of year?

• 2:33:14Speaker 02

  Yeah. For the most part, it's, it's, you're on fumes, but. Like obviously broken bones is not something you really play through. Um, I was getting injected every game and numbing it and all that. Good stuff, multiple times a game. So, but credit to our doctors and, and our staff for getting me to be able to play. But. Yeah. Guys, you're always banged up. I mean, you're banged up the first two weeks of spring training and then it's just kind of figuring out the rest of the way. So. It's who's healthiest or who's least banged up going into the playoffs.

• 2:33:47Speaker 03

  Yeah. Did you, did you earn your pinstripes?

• 2:33:50Speaker 02

  No, I didn't win a World Series.

• 2:33:52Speaker 03

  That's the only way to get it, right?

• 2:33:53Speaker 00

  I think Ben Rice might have his pinstripes.

• 2:33:55Speaker 02

  I mean, I always.

• 2:33:56Speaker 00

  He's the only one who showed up this postseason.

• 2:33:58Speaker 02

  Yeah. No, you know. I always, guys, when I played there were always pissed at me because I never got booed there. And I always said, I'm unbooable. I was like, well, I don't understand. You never get booed. Right? Cause everyone gets booed as a Yankee.

• 2:34:10Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:34:10Speaker 02

  And I'm like, yeah, I'm, because I'm Italian, I play hard. I don't know. Like.

• 2:34:13Speaker 00

  It's the name for sure.

• 2:34:14Speaker 02

  Yeah. Right. So I, being Yankees fans, I, I feel like a special connection, but, um, I don't know. I, I love playing there. It's, it's, it's a pressure cooker every single day there.

• 2:34:25Speaker 03

  I just found out, uh, yesterday that the Cubs actually had pinstripes before the Yankees did.

• 2:34:29Speaker 02

  That's really.

• 2:34:30Speaker 03

  The first team to have them, and then they kind of let them go. Two years later, Yankees picked them up and they just made them permanent.

• 2:34:37Speaker 02

  So yes, then I did earn my pinstripes for the Cubs.

• 2:34:38Speaker 03

  Yeah. With the Cubs. Yes. Definitely earn your pinstripes. Also Max pulled up the video. Uh, this is you getting, getting hit by a pitch. And the umpire telling you, stay your ass at home plate. It's right there.

• 2:34:49Speaker 02

  Yeah. This was bullshit.

• 2:34:50Speaker 04

  That's just getting hit in the right spot. Like, but it's going to hit you no, no matter what. So you lean in to get hit in the ass.

• 2:34:56Speaker 02

  No, that's awful lefty too. So, and I, I was, who's that? Uh, DJ Rayburn, I believe, the umpire. And I was like, DJ, I go. What? I go, what the fuck DJ? I go, you know me. I go, and I, I think it was a slider or something. And on sliders off lefties, if you're on the plate, you can't move because if they break back, you have to hit it. So then when you know you're about to get hit, you start bracing for.

• 2:35:21Speaker 00

  Yeah. Sure.

• 2:35:22Speaker 02

  Impact. I, I have no armor on.

• 2:35:24Speaker 00

  Yeah. Facts.

• 2:35:25Speaker 02

  And he caught, look, I'm touching on my shirt. I got suspended for that.

• 2:35:29Speaker 03

  That's Italian again. You can touch.

• 2:35:32Speaker 02

  But right away he's saying, I leaned in. I'm like, are you a cra-? That's why you see the reaction there.

• 2:35:36Speaker 03

  He kind of showed you up too, a little bit. Like he put a little extra sauce on the pointing.

• 2:35:40Speaker 02

  Right. Yeah.

• 2:35:41Speaker 03

  Get back here. Yeah.

• 2:35:42Speaker 02

  Yeah. I'm like, DJ, I lead the world in getting hit by pitches.

• 2:35:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:35:45Speaker 02

  You think I leaned into that?

• 2:35:46Speaker 00

  You shouldn't be, you shouldn't be criticized for just being tougher than everyone.

• 2:35:51Speaker 02

  Well, most of the time I didn't see it, to be honest.

• 2:35:54Speaker 00

  Doesn't hurt. I know. Can't even touch your body. Uh, all right. So you, the podcast game, you, you guys did, uh, the lovable reunion podcast. You and, and David Ross was awesome. Going down memory lane, all the guests, like just sitting down with all the guys. Now you guys are going to do Ross and Rizzo unfiltered, uh, all year round. Was it, was it like, when you were looking back 10 years, first of all, it's kind of crazy. It's been 10 years. I kept on saying that to myself. I was like, what the fuck? 10 years like that went by so fast, but was there any, uh, story or moment you're like, I totally didn't know that or holy shit, how did we survive this? Because it was obviously a magical season, but there's a lot that comes out as the years go along.

• 2:36:35Speaker 02

  Yeah. I think one was Miguel Montero pinch hitting versus Joe Blanton in the NLCS. He just got an epidural that day.

• 2:36:43Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 2:36:43Speaker 02

  And wasn't supposed to play.

• 2:36:44Speaker 00

  Loudest wrigley's ever been. We were in the bleachers for that.

• 2:36:46Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:36:47Speaker 00

  This is just a shower of beer.

• 2:36:48Speaker 02

  Insane.

• 2:36:49Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:36:49Speaker 02

  So I didn't know that story until later on and then Michael. Montgomery talked about how he never threw a curve ball for a strike. Uh, and it was always a thing with his dad and it came full circle where he's in in the seventh inning versus the Indians to close out the game and both pitches he threw as a curve ball. So you hear, you know, we live the stories, but then when you hear the perspective from everyone else, especially the guys that, you know, were more role players.

• 2:37:16Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:37:16Speaker 02

  It's like, whoa.

• 2:37:17Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:37:17Speaker 02

  That's pretty cool to hear.

• 2:37:18Speaker 00

  Yeah. It takes like everyone in the, I mean, I, I think the, hearing a lot about, uh, the makeup of the, of the team and like the type of guys that Theo and Jed tried to get. I think that, that actually speaks, speaking of, of current playoffs, like the White Sox, there, it's a little different because they're probably a little younger. They haven't gone through it like 2015, the Cubs went through it. But it does feel like they have that energy of guys getting along and playing for each other that I would imagine just matters a ton when it comes to the playoff baseball.

• 2:37:48Speaker 02

  No doubt. They, it, they have been big in NASA a lot about the White Sox. They look like they love each other.

• 2:37:53Speaker 00

  Right.

• 2:37:54Speaker 02

  You heard Sean Burke say, it's like, I got to pick of this team of my friends to play with. So that's real, right? I don't think they have necessarily the, nearly the talent that we had in 16.

• 2:38:02Speaker 00

  No.

• 2:38:03Speaker 02

  But when 16, we loved each other. I mean, Dan, you've been out with, you were out with multiple times, right?

• 2:38:10Speaker 00

  Dinners and karaoke.

• 2:38:11Speaker 02

  Yeah. Stanleys. So.

• 2:38:12Speaker 00

  Guys were hanging out all the time.

• 2:38:14Speaker 02

  All the time. And that's what this White Sox team looks like. And a lot of teams are not like that.

• 2:38:19Speaker 00

  Right.

• 2:38:20Speaker 02

  When you go home, you have your families. It's that 16 team was, we want, it, it was almost like at the end of 16, we were so gassed because it started in 15 and all of the, the parties and the after parties and hanging out that when we won, we were fine. Like, oh my God, we get to go home and rest now.

• 2:38:36Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. The, um, I always think about the, being invited. I mean, you were so gracious and inviting me to a bunch of the stuff, but going to John Lester's house, I think it was after 2015 and, uh, after beating the Cardinals. And Eddie Vedder, I don't think had showered in like two weeks. He had just been partying, having the best time ever. He was playing guitar and he's just like, he smelled like, like champagne and just whatever. But that was, that was it. He was just like, fuck it. I don't care. I'm having the best time ever.

• 2:39:02Speaker 02

  Yeah. I mean, that's literally what our team was. And that's why when you see this White Sox team, I'm like, they're pretty easy to root for.

• 2:39:07Speaker 00

  Right.

• 2:39:08Speaker 02

  Looks like that's what they're doing.

• 2:39:09Speaker 00

  Yeah. I'm not rooting for them, but they are, they're a fun watch. I'll say that. Like that's, like as a sports fan, they're a fun watch.

• 2:39:16Speaker 02

  Yeah. The game last night was electric.

• 2:39:18Speaker 00

  Yeah. You were there.

• 2:39:19Speaker 02

  Yeah. It was, that, that's, because the way that park is built, it's on top of you.

• 2:39:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:39:24Speaker 02

  Like it's just vertical. So I don't think anyone sat down for the first three, four innings.

• 2:39:28Speaker 00

  That's awesome.

• 2:39:29Speaker 02

  Especially when they were, had the lead.

• 2:39:30Speaker 00

  Playoff baseball is, it's so, it's so much fun and it's so, like even being last year, like going back to Wrigley for the, they, the Cubs hadn't been, had a home playoff game in a while. You could just feel the energy. It was just so.

• 2:39:42Speaker 02

  Wrigley looked insane last year.

• 2:39:43Speaker 00

  Yeah. It was so much.

• 2:39:44Speaker 02

  There's nothing better than it.

• 2:39:45Speaker 00

  No.

• 2:39:46Speaker 03

  I think, uh, Zach's going to ask a question. I, I have one more about 2016 though. Uh, because you're talking about the podcast that you're doing, kind of reminded me about, all the talk going into that was like, everyone was talking about the Cubs being cursed, which is like, not really a thing. But at some point, does all the curse talk get in your head and you're like, whoa, we have to go up against a curse too?

• 2:40:06Speaker 02

  When Rajay Davis hit that homerun, I sit in there at first base and I go, this fucking curse is real. Like what the hell happened? Right? And you get talked about a lot. I, for me, my always, my outlook always on it when people are fans will be like, oh, we gotta beat this curse. I'm like, look, this, this curse ain't my fault. I've only been here for five years.

• 2:40:25Speaker 03

  Right.

• 2:40:25Speaker 02

  Okay. Don't blame this on me. Well, like we'll get it done, but you know, it's there. The pressure of it, the fans, I think the best part about being a Cub is you have that interaction with the fans because of Wrigley, because of how close everyone is there. And you're playing in a neighborhood and the Cubs fans are so passionate. So you hear all the stories, but the only time it really, really crept in my mind, like this is real is, uh, when Rajay hit that homerun.

• 2:40:52Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:40:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:40:52Speaker 00

  But then the reverses, Trevor Bauer flying a drone and cutting off his finger.

• 2:40:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, that helped us.

• 2:40:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:40:59Speaker 02

  My dad, my dad one year brought a goat, like wanted to bring a goat into Wrigley. It's like reverse the curse. I think Theo, Theo got wind of it. He's like, Mr. Rizzo, you can't do that.

• 2:41:10Speaker 00

  What are you doing? Uh, all right. Uh, Zach has a question. Roback question, rhoback.com. Promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Q zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com promo code take. Zach, take it away.

• 2:41:23Speaker 03

  Sure. Uh, being a South Florida, born and raised, uh, if you have one, I was curious if you could share with us your go to public sub order.

• 2:41:29Speaker 00

  Zach is a Florida guy.

• 2:41:31Speaker 02

  Public sub order?

• 2:41:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:41:32Speaker 02

  Chicken tender sub all day, every day.

• 2:41:34Speaker 03

  We toasted or untoasted?

• 2:41:36Speaker 02

  Uh, untoasted. I like the cheese to melt naturally on it.

• 2:41:39Speaker 03

  We, we talking, uh, yellow American, white American, mojito?

• 2:41:43Speaker 02

  Yeah. I'll take you to the whole order. This is actually, might be a psycho order, but I like it. Chicken tender sub, mayo, American cheese, lettuce, onions, salt, pepper, oregano.

• 2:41:53Speaker 00

  What do you think, Zach?

• 2:41:54Speaker 03

  That plays all day. Yeah. It's a great sub.

• 2:41:55Speaker 02

  All right. But a lot of people do the Buffalo chicken tender.

• 2:41:58Speaker 00

  Yeah. I like.

• 2:41:59Speaker 03

  What about that was a psycho order? I thought that was.

• 2:42:01Speaker 02

  And then the mayo on chicken tenders? I don't know. I love mayo.

• 2:42:04Speaker 03

  I feel like, I feel like that's, I feel like that's pretty standard order. That's a good order.

• 2:42:07Speaker 02

  You have them do one side or both sides of the bread? Oh, I, I, I am a, I make sure, because some people do extra. I make sure they do the perfect amount. And if they don't, I am, have them add more. And then you're doing white wheat or the, uh, uh, the seeded bread? Usually the, usually the white.

• 2:42:25Speaker 03

  That's a good sandwich.

• 2:42:26Speaker 02

  Pub subs are where it's at.

• 2:42:27Speaker 00

  Yeah. Zach, when we were down in Florida for grit week, uh, we, we, I think we ate them like three days in a row.

• 2:42:33Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 2:42:34Speaker 00

  Started to get a little sick of them. They're just, they're heavy. Like the Buffalo chicken one, Zach, I got like the big one. It was like three meals.

• 2:42:42Speaker 02

  Well, the cold cuts too, like the turkey and stuff like that.

• 2:42:45Speaker 00

  They do a good job.

• 2:42:46Speaker 02

  Really good job.

• 2:42:47Speaker 00

  Um, all right. Anthony, you're a psycho still for running the marathon. Congratulations in advance. You have to give us the congratulations back if you don't finish.

• 2:42:58Speaker 02

  No, no, I'll finish. I'll finish. But I will give you a congratulations. Might be a lot of pictures you have to take on the course. You never know.

• 2:43:04Speaker 00

  We're going to track it. Also, I mean, you do still pay for your own beers and stuff in Chicago, but the fact that you got your number in the year as your bib number for the marathon shows that you still can get anything you want. 44 16 for his bib number.

• 2:43:20Speaker 03

  Yeah. You got some.

• 2:43:20Speaker 00

  It's pretty cool.

• 2:43:21Speaker 03

  You got some pulls.

• 2:43:21Speaker 00

  That's pretty fucking cool.

• 2:43:22Speaker 02

  They, they, Bank of America has taken care of us, our, our foundation. So they've been great. Uh, it's going to be fun. I'm terrified.

• 2:43:30Speaker 00

  No, it's not. You know, you should do, you should just shit your pants. That would actually be good. You should put your podcast QR code on your ass and then shit your pants and then that go viral.

• 2:43:42Speaker 02

  That would go very viral.

• 2:43:43Speaker 00

  Yeah. I'm just telling you, if you're in the podcasting game, way to go. But, uh, you're the man and thanks for stopping by, man.

• 2:43:51Speaker 02

• 2:46:05Speaker 05

• 2:46:07Speaker 03

  Hey.

• 2:46:07Speaker 05

  Hey. Nothing, no, I, I, I got, I got nothing. Yeah, I got nothing.

• 2:46:12Speaker 00

  Good week. Having fun. You just doing it?

• 2:46:14Speaker 05

  Just doing it. Nice week. Good weather.

• 2:46:18Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:46:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:46:19Speaker 04

  Cheating in golf.

• 2:46:20Speaker 00

  She, well. What?

• 2:46:22Speaker 03

  Is, it was gonna be my Fire Fest, um, because I did say on the show the other day that, that Donnie Chef.

• 2:46:28Speaker 05

  This isn't, this isn't, this isn't out. This is, this is taped. I guess I can put some of it out, but it's not.

• 2:46:33Speaker 03

  I, I, I just want to say that I said on the show that Chef Donnie was a cheater at golf and I feel awful about it because I talked to Chef Donnie afterwards. And I, I heard the facts from Chef Donnie and I feel like I might've just slandered his good name, which is like, that's a tough one to come back from. That you cheat at golf and I'd like to take accountability and say, I'm not, I don't think that Chef Donnie does cheat at golf and I, I regret saying.

• 2:46:55Speaker 05

  This is unintentionally good promo. We did film a nine-hole, uh, video that I'll be putting out.

• 2:47:02Speaker 00

  Oh, that's deep state shit.

• 2:47:05Speaker 03

  It's all planned.

• 2:47:06Speaker 00

  Jerry was right.

• 2:47:07Speaker 03

  Trust the plan.

• 2:47:08Speaker 05

  Um, and then people can judge for themselves.

• 2:47:12Speaker 00

  Who cheats?

• 2:47:13Speaker 03

  Somebody cheats.

• 2:47:13Speaker 05

  I didn't cheat.

• 2:47:16Speaker 05

  Donnie may or may not have. It's up to, it's up to the viewer to decide.

• 2:47:20Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 2:47:21Speaker 03

  Is there such a thing?

• 2:47:21Speaker 00

  Adventure?

• 2:47:23Speaker 05

  I think it's, it's, it's, you know, golf people are, are psychopaths. I, the, the way any normal person plays, it's not cheating by letter of the law. It is cheating.

• 2:47:32Speaker 04

  Is there any cheating with the golf video of foreplay?

• 2:47:36Speaker 05

  Was there?

• 2:47:37Speaker 04

  I don't know, but it's out today.

• 2:47:39Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 2:47:39Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 2:47:40Speaker 00

  Deep state max.

• 2:47:41Speaker 03

  Promo max.

• 2:47:43Speaker 05

  That's a good one. We play, we, me and Vic had to good in that one.

• 2:47:45Speaker 00

  Yeah. By the way, the, the, the running challenge we do in these golf videos, it fucks me up for like days.

• 2:47:52Speaker 05

  Two minutes of running.

• 2:47:54Speaker 00

  Yeah, but I'm not.

• 2:47:55Speaker 04

  But you're also swinging.

• 2:47:56Speaker 00

  I don't do that.

• 2:47:58Speaker 05

  I know.

• 2:47:59Speaker 00

  I don't do that.

• 2:48:00Speaker 05

  I understood. I, I was just laughing.

• 2:48:01Speaker 00

  You don't do that.

• 2:48:02Speaker 05

  Yeah, that was like, that's gonna, I'm gonna be so sore tomorrow. I was like, that was literally two minutes and 30 seconds.

• 2:48:07Speaker 00

  It was like 400 yards, uneven terrain. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Zach.

• 2:48:12Speaker 03

  Mine was just a par three and, uh, I, I just knew that I, if I had sprinted, it was gonna be UNC all over again.

• 2:48:19Speaker 05

  So you intentionally lost your ball?

• 2:48:21Speaker 03

  Well, spoiler.

• 2:48:22Speaker 00

  Yeah, way to spoil it.

• 2:48:23Speaker 03

  Big time spoiler. Uh, but no, I did not.

• 2:48:26Speaker 05

  Is that cheating?

• 2:48:27Speaker 03

  It was just a happy accident that I lost the ball. I'm glad that I did. I'll put it that way.

• 2:48:31Speaker 04

  If you lose your balls, it cheating?

• 2:48:33Speaker 03

  If you enforce the rules too hard, is that also cheating?

• 2:48:36Speaker 05

  I think so. I think so.

• 2:48:38Speaker 03

  Oh, interesting that Hank said that. Go watch Hank's and Donnie's video when it comes out.

• 2:48:42Speaker 00

  Hank cheated. There needs to be like two sets of golf rules.

• 2:48:47Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 2:48:47Speaker 00

  Like there needs to be the strict PGA and then there's gotta be like the boys having fun, but those need to be set in stone as well because people go back and forth between the two.

• 2:48:57Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:48:57Speaker 00

  Do you know what I mean?

• 2:48:58Speaker 05

  It's, it's everything in the world. It's just people online. I feel like every normal person plays golf a certain way and then online people are like, whoa, whoa, whoa, like breakfast ball, like you're picking up putts and not putting them in the hole. Like this is not real golf. It's like, who, no one plays like, no one plays like that.

• 2:49:15Speaker 00

  Yeah, we need this standardized format though, because people are just applying the PGA rules, but no one plays like that. We need to have a standardized regular guy rule.

• 2:49:24Speaker 03

  I think the regular guy rules have kind of evolved for themselves where like you, you know what to do where it's like, yeah, there, there should be a breakfast ball. If you lose it in the woods, you know, like you can take a drop. You don't have to like measure a club length all the time. Like people know what casual golf rules are.

• 2:49:41Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:49:41Speaker 03

  Except for Hank, he doesn't know.

• 2:49:42Speaker 00

  What were you gonna say, Max?

• 2:49:45Speaker 04

  Nothing. Just tune into both, both golf videos to find out.

• 2:49:48Speaker 00

  Great promo. Great.

• 2:49:50Speaker 04

  I was gonna say something, but it would spoil too much, so I don't wanna say.

• 2:49:52Speaker 00

  Oh, okay, okay, okay. Got it. All right. So no Fyre Fest?

• 2:49:57Speaker 05

  Trying to think now. It was a good, good week. I didn't.

• 2:50:04Speaker 05

  Pods, pods lost?

• 2:50:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, pod head. Okay. PFT?

• 2:50:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, I mean, no Fyre Fest that you, you bullied a guy off Twitter?

• 2:50:15Speaker 03

  Film guy?

• 2:50:16Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 2:50:17Speaker 03

  You don't have any regrets about that?

• 2:50:21Speaker 05

  I didn't even tweet about Glenn Tape Watch. So that like, I, I, I guess my Fyre Fest is like, I was starting to kind of see the vision and like, you know, he was starting to, to win me over and then he just cowered out and, and quit.

• 2:50:35Speaker 03

  That's, uh, it's weird because my Fyre Fest is that I actually just did see a video from Glenn Tape Watch.

• 2:50:40Speaker 05

  By the way, for, for, for the people at home, uh, we taped this, what we're taping now is five hours after we taped this morning.

• 2:50:50Speaker 03

  That's not.

• 2:50:50Speaker 05

  And PFT got in his feels. And I guess made the video.

• 2:50:55Speaker 03

  That's not true.

• 2:50:56Speaker 00

  That's actually not true.

• 2:50:57Speaker 03

  That's actually not true.

• 2:50:58Speaker 00

  PFT didn't make any video. Glenn Tape Watch.

• 2:51:00Speaker 03

  Glenn Tape Watch made a video and Glenn Tape Watch stayed up until about 2:30 AM last night.

• 2:51:04Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:51:04Speaker 03

  And, uh.

• 2:51:05Speaker 05

  2:02 PM. Got it.

• 2:51:07Speaker 00

  I think Glenn Tape Watch probably, and I, I don't know Glenn Tape Watch. If I had to guess, I'd have to guess that Glenn Tape Watch maybe just didn't have his video done when we taped earlier in the morning, but after lunch in the Yak, maybe he had his video done.

• 2:51:20Speaker 03

  Glenn Tape Watch spent about six to seven hours, uh, maybe bit off a little bit more than he could chew.

• 2:51:25Speaker 00

  Feels more like.

• 2:51:26Speaker 03

  Because it's a long video.

• 2:51:28Speaker 00

  It's not even loading.

• 2:51:29Speaker 03

  It's not even loading. That's how long it is.

• 2:51:30Speaker 04

  It seems so long it's not loading.

• 2:51:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's, I believe, uh, five minutes is what.

• 2:51:34Speaker 00

  I'll do my Fyre Fest while we load it.

• 2:51:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 2:51:37Speaker 00

  Uh, do you guys, you guys like, uh, shredded wheat or like frosted mini wheats?

• 2:51:41Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 2:51:43Speaker 00

  I've been eating a lot of those.

• 2:51:46Speaker 00

  I'm just shitting like six times a day. It's not, you can't do it. Do you, do you eat those and?

• 2:51:50Speaker 04

  I think that's good for you.

• 2:51:51Speaker 00

  Yeah, I know, but it's not, but it, yes, I think it's good for you, but it's also like, that's a pain in the ass to just be like, gotta go poop again. So I gotta, I gotta quit the shredded wheats and the frosted mini wheats. They're so delicious.

• 2:52:03Speaker 03

  If you eat it wheat side down, it's good for you.

• 2:52:06Speaker 00

  I eat the regular shredded wheats.

• 2:52:08Speaker 03

  Oh, without the frosting?

• 2:52:09Speaker 04

  Without the frosting?

• 2:52:10Speaker 03

  That's insane.

• 2:52:11Speaker 00

  Yeah, because sometimes we don't have, my kids just pound the, the, the mini wheats and we have the regular ones. And I'm trying to be a little healthier because football season gets away from me. So, but the problem is I'm just, just guys be pooping, I guess.

• 2:52:27Speaker 03

  We do.

• 2:52:27Speaker 00

  I guess that's just what it is.

• 2:52:29Speaker 04

  The non-frosted, that's psycho shit.

• 2:52:31Speaker 00

  I'm trying to be a psycho health nut.

• 2:52:34Speaker 04

  You're a pussy.

• 2:52:35Speaker 00

  No, you're, you're a pussy.

• 2:52:37Speaker 04

  You would hate, hate what you're saying to yourself right now.

• 2:52:40Speaker 00

  You know who's not gonna hate it? Me in, in four months when I don't gain the, the football 15.

• 2:52:46Speaker 03

  And then you can eat all the frosted.

• 2:52:48Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:52:48Speaker 03

  Guys pick your spots.

• 2:52:49Speaker 00

  Yeah. I still do frosted.

• 2:52:51Speaker 04

  I remember I said I wanted to eat a salad on football Sunday last year and I got fucking rushed.

• 2:52:55Speaker 00

  Well, yeah, that's crazy. Instead, we moved the food away from us and it's helped us big time.

• 2:53:00Speaker 04

  That has helped.

• 2:53:00Speaker 03

  There's been no bigger change to our diet.

• 2:53:02Speaker 00

  Also, Jack's just been doing a shitty job of ordering. In general.

• 2:53:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:53:07Speaker 04

  I've kinda liked some of the, uh, we've had some bad ones.

• 2:53:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, we've had some bad ones. So.

• 2:53:11Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:53:12Speaker 00

  He's doing that. He's actually helping us out. Okay. This is from Glenn Tape Watch.

• 2:53:16Speaker 03

  This, hot off the presses, just came out.

• 2:53:19Speaker 00

  Excited.

• 2:53:21Speaker 03

  Hank, tune in.

• 2:53:23Speaker 05

  I literally can't not.

• 2:53:25Speaker 07

  Hey, well, imagine that or what if?

• 2:53:26Speaker 03

  Wait, wait, timeout, Max. Yeah, what I thought was really nice about Hank is that he said like Glenn Tape Watch was really finding his stride. And he saw the vision and he was like excited to see a new one.

• 2:53:37Speaker 05

  I thought I was starting to.

• 2:53:38Speaker 03

  So that's awesome that Hank is like kind of a believer. You're, you might be.

• 2:53:41Speaker 00

  You're glintleman?

• 2:53:42Speaker 03

  You're a glintleman. Yeah.

• 2:53:43Speaker 05

  No, no, no.

• 2:53:44Speaker 03

  Yeah, you are.

• 2:53:45Speaker 05

  Starting, starting.

• 2:53:46Speaker 03

  Let's see what Glenn has to say.

• 2:53:48Speaker 07

  Hey, well, imagine that or what if Wednesday is me, Glenn, NFL TV show. Thanks all of you who are showing up for another week, high stepping into the glen zone. It is the annual week for annual awards. You guys have been waiting for it. This is the only awards show that recognizes the best performances in the NFL through week four. The Glenn BB of week four of the 2026 NFL season. Drake May and we're to get to some more details of Drake May's outstanding performance against the Buffalo Bills and I have reason to suspect he might've seen the tape. He might be a glintleman just like you. And the second award is our annual award, the comeback player of the year award of week four, and it is awarded once again to Damar Hamlin. And for all those who are asking, it is that time of year we are doing the salvation, demarmy fundraiser to help raise awareness of

• 2:54:32Speaker 07

  Damar Hamlin and how he was able to not die. My personal demo is the way, probably the best way for you to donate to the salvation army or as we say in salvation, demarmy or the upcoming to March of times. So we have one more award to give out is for the fraud of the year award. And this one would have dedicated to Hank Lockwood and really all Patriots Nation, Bo, Paul, the whole crew. Because I was listening to part of my tape last week, shouted the guys for shouting me out. I do agree with Hank that PFT is kind of almost bullshit right now, big time hater. And I don't relate to stamps and the stuff that he says as references. It's, it's very, very strange. I'm a, I'm a Hank fan as well. Um, and Hank, if I'm losing you right now, maybe just like a little joke, uh, to try to win over your sense of humor, which as he says, is a little different. Um, I guess if I was from Massachusetts, no, no, Mr. Walbert, no, staff my porch, don't beat me up, sir. Ah, you're gonna kill me. Ha, ha, ha, ha. You've almost killed several people.

• 2:55:17Speaker 07

  Keep the mood a little bit light for Hank. I hope you enjoyed that joke. So I further do the fraud of the year of week four and NFL circus award is the Buffalo Bills. I know, I know. You all expect me and say the Patriots, you expected me to talk something about Drake May, but no, we have to call things fairly. The New England Patriots last year had the easiest schedule in the NFL. We talked about it all season long. People got sick of hearing about it, but we were right. The Buffalo Bills are this year's New England Patriots. Let's look at who they've beaten. You beat the Houston Texans, week one. They haven't won a game, Jack. Then you went on to beat the Detroit Lions, owners of maybe the worst defense in NFL history. Oh, and by the way, you only beat them by 10 bites. Then you had the Chargers come to town and you beat them by eight points and they still had a winning game, Jack. Next up,

• 2:56:02Speaker 07

  you got the Patriots from the town and you lose to the first real team that you run up against. The Bills, they are frauds with a capital F. So there you go. I called fair the New England Patriots, not frauds of the year. They are two and two. They've beaten, it's not like last year, they've beaten, like, I guess they beat the Bills. All right. Anywho, let's get to the tape. Let's look at what Drake May did well last week. Numbers lie. Women lie. But the tape never does. Like I suggested, he needs to take out a page from the Tommy DeVio book and boy, did he ever. It's been kinda weird.

• 2:56:38Speaker 05

  Um, you know, it's every week in the NFL, you know, there's, there's weeks that you wanna, you know, forget about it and move on. This week you wanna build off of. And last week was definitely one we wanna, you know, move on from and, and know that, you know, we got a tough challenge ahead, but. Weeks that you wanna, you know, forget about it and move on. This week you wanna build off of. And last week was definitely one we wanna, you know, move on from and, and know that, you know, we got a tough challenge ahead.

• 2:56:56Speaker 07

  Huh, hmm. So that's why I think Drake May might be a follower of this page. It's almost like he went out of his way to talk and sound exactly like Tommy after the game. Now let's look at the bad. So if you do have a youngster in the room right now, it might be the time to ask him or her to leave and not watch this because it could be devastating. I like to have a little fun with incident when players run over people on the sidelines. The NFL should do a new segment. You just got helped up. Russ Wilson, king of the help ups. Deshaun Watson. See what you worry about the guy? He might rub you the wrong way. But he's helping a lot of single moms out there off the field. You, sir, you've just got chucked off. Now, as for someday, when we watch the tape, we all saw it happening in real time. Maybe there was something that we missed. Drake May's rambles runs the sideline.

• 2:57:38Speaker 07

  And he absolutely cremates this elderly gentleman who's standing there minding his own business and just striking and stop for a second. No, he's still running. Break that to the huddle. Absolutely incredible. Does not see what we now see on the alt way too is this guy's leg is folded up like a table in the parking lot outside. Do I blame Drake for this? Absolutely not. I blame Jaden Daniels, the signal caller for the Washington commanders. He had his elbow bent backwards just like this guy's knee the other week. And since Jaden's such a bad leader, none of his teammates even thought to stick around and help him up before halftime.

• 2:58:15Speaker 07

  So because Jaden was such a bad leader that his friends weren't even check on him, Drake May saw that, ate things to himself. Oh, I guess compound fractures aren't that big a deal. Let's just all thank our lucky stars. It wasn't Drake there that night in Cincinnati when DeMar got hit. You kidding me? He would have been strolling his way back to the huddle, whistling Dixie, eh, boys? Don't even worry about that guy. He's probably gonna be okay. Remember Jaden? Some things should be bigger than sports, Drake. He could have been someone's grandfather. Hell, it could have been a police officer. Just Drake May hit cops? Sure looks like it. It could have been a woman. It could have been DeMar. It could have been DeMar and DeMar might have been dead. But Drake would never know because he didn't think for a second about anyone but himself.

• 2:58:59Speaker 07

  Forget about Drake, maybe. For this week, he's Drake me.

• 2:59:07Speaker 07

  Hey, well, imagine that are what if Wednesday is.

• 2:59:09Speaker 00

  Fantastic job by Glenn.

• 2:59:10Speaker 03

  If I were to make one critique of that, it felt like, uh, the 2026 week four awards of the year and the Drake May thing were probably two different videos he could have done.

• 2:59:20Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 2:59:20Speaker 03

  But, but that's okay. But that's all right.

• 2:59:22Speaker 00

  I'll say this.

• 2:59:24Speaker 05

  I wish I was Asian so I could cancel you.

• 2:59:27Speaker 03

  That, that, that might be cancelable right there.

• 2:59:30Speaker 00

  Get Stephen Shea.

• 2:59:32Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 2:59:32Speaker 03

  Do you want, do you want to know why I heard maybe why Drake, why, uh, why Glenn was up until 2:30 working on this video?

• 2:59:39Speaker 00

  Why?

• 2:59:39Speaker 03

  Instead of sleeping because he had a TV show in the morning. Um, I heard that maybe it's because, uh, for some reason, the filter that he uses when he uploads the videos, uh, took his voice and made it sound extremely stereotypically Asian.

• 2:59:54Speaker 00

  Ah.

• 2:59:54Speaker 03

  And he was trying his very, very best to figure out how to undo that and get back to the other filter that he always uses. And it just made it worse the more that he tried. Um, that's, that's what he said, at least. I am a member of, uh, I'm in the hut hut hike program. So I get, um, I can text with him back and forth. I have his number, but that's maybe why it was a little bit late coming out.

• 3:00:18Speaker 00

  I'm pretty sure watching that video, fantastic video by Glenn, by the way, uh, PFT would never put Jaden Daniels getting injured in that video. So it's clearly not PFT.

• 3:00:28Speaker 03

  And he even said he didn't like me.

• 3:00:30Speaker 00

  Yeah, he said that.

• 3:00:33Speaker 00

  What do you think, Hank?

• 3:00:35Speaker 05

  Yeah, I mean, I, I, it's good to know that one little chirp and then he went, went into the lab in the, in the time we went to record and, and made this video. That's, that's, that's good to know.

• 3:00:43Speaker 00

  What about, uh, what do you think about?

• 3:00:46Speaker 05

  I don't believe anything that he just said.

• 3:00:47Speaker 00

  What do you think? Well, Glenn did point out, what if that guy that Drake May ran over was a woman?

• 3:00:54Speaker 05

  Yeah, ifs and buts, you know, whatever. We're, we're applesauce. Like I'd be a bicycle.

• 3:00:59Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's the saying.

• 3:01:00Speaker 03

  He did, uh, that guy looked like it was bad. That was a violent collision.

• 3:01:04Speaker 05

  That was a Bill Stafford. He's fine. Happens every week.

• 3:01:07Speaker 03

  That?

• 3:01:07Speaker 04

  I don't know, dude.

• 3:01:08Speaker 03

  Me personally, if I ran somebody over, I would at least like try to help him up. I mean, you saw Lamar when he did it.

• 3:01:13Speaker 05

  You didn't help Rico up.

• 3:01:15Speaker 03

  I did turn around and go back to try to help him up.

• 3:01:16Speaker 05

  No, no, no, no.

• 3:01:18Speaker 03

  Well, that's because I meant to.

• 3:01:19Speaker 05

  You stood over him. Yeah.

• 3:01:20Speaker 03

  That's because I meant to do it.

• 3:01:21Speaker 05

  Got it. What if he was a woman?

• 3:01:22Speaker 04

  So did Drake May mean to do that?

• 3:01:24Speaker 03

  I would never mistake Rico for a woman.

• 3:01:27Speaker 05

  Drake may not mean to do that.

• 3:01:28Speaker 03

  It is a bad look.

• 3:01:30Speaker 05

  It's not a bad look. It's an extremely commonplace play that happens every week.

• 3:01:34Speaker 03

  Drake me?

• 3:01:35Speaker 05

  In every, in every.

• 3:01:37Speaker 03

  Sport.

• 3:01:41Speaker 03

  What are we looking at here?

• 3:01:43Speaker 04

  It was good. It was good pictures.

• 3:01:45Speaker 03

  Yeah, I got them pretty good.

• 3:01:47Speaker 05

  Definitely not, not helping him up.

• 3:01:49Speaker 03

  No.

• 3:01:52Speaker 03

  I did turn around for a second. Yeah. I mean, I, I, I guess I didn't, I missed that, the severity of it when I watched it live. I did notice that he knocked a poor guy over and just kind of like seemed to be like, oh, you're beneath me. But that's why he had a great game last year. You know, he was a really good quarterback. He's back on the right track.

• 3:02:09Speaker 05

  Hell, yeah.

• 3:02:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 3:02:10Speaker 00

  Okay. I love Glenn. I'm a Glenn Coleman. I'll say that right now.

• 3:02:15Speaker 03

  I think we all are.

• 3:02:16Speaker 00

  Mark me down. Well, no, Hank is not.

• 3:02:17Speaker 04

  I'm first team all Glenn Coleman.

• 3:02:19Speaker 03

  I'm actually not because he doesn't like me. So fuck him.

• 3:02:22Speaker 04

  But you are part of the, you can text with him, the hut hut hike.

• 3:02:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, well, that's, I mean, that's what makes it so, so hard is like, I love the guy and he just absolutely can't stand me.

• 3:02:33Speaker 05

  Glenn Coleman or no? How can you say you love a guy, but you're not a Glenn Coleman?

• 3:02:36Speaker 03

  Well, I did love him until he started to go after me like it.

• 3:02:39Speaker 05

  So as of this video that you just saw and made.

• 3:02:41Speaker 03

  Unrequited love. It's this tale of old times. I love Glenn and for some reason he just won't give me the time of day.

• 3:02:47Speaker 05

  So you don't love him anymore and you're not a Glenn Coleman?

• 3:02:50Speaker 03

  I love him. I will always love him, but now I'm like a spurned lover where, I don't know, it makes me mad to even think about that guy. You're probably right. He probably didn't work on it all night last night. Hmm. Son of a bitch.

• 3:03:02Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 3:03:05Speaker 00

  Zach.

• 3:03:07Speaker 02

  I'm a firefighter this week. Uh, I've been having this thing going on where I've been, I've been fighting. I've been fighting with my apartment. My shower's been wet. My shower's been really wet recently.

• 3:03:16Speaker 00

  Should be.

• 3:03:17Speaker 02

  I got that solved. Oh, all right. My shower's been wet with another man's water.

• 3:03:22Speaker 00

  What?

• 3:03:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, that makes sense. Coming from the, from the up top. So he's been watering my shower. I've been getting in the shower. It's already wet, you know?

• 3:03:30Speaker 00

  He's pre-wetting your shower?

• 3:03:31Speaker 02

  That's for me to wet, not for him to wet.

• 3:03:33Speaker 00

  Oh, no.

• 3:03:33Speaker 02

  That makes more sense.

• 3:03:34Speaker 00

  Yeah, okay.

• 3:03:35Speaker 02

  I'm getting in and it's already wet. We climbed this objection and then now my, my washing machine's wet, but it's, I think it's coming from my, my other side supply.

• 3:03:45Speaker 00

  Wait.

• 3:03:46Speaker 02

  I'm getting invaded wet both sides.

• 3:03:48Speaker 00

  But they're all, they're all, you're getting invaded wet both sides, but they're, the wet is landing in places that wet goes.

• 3:03:55Speaker 02

  Water I didn't put there.

• 3:03:56Speaker 00

  Right.

• 3:03:56Speaker 02

  That's not my water, but it's my wet.

• 3:03:58Speaker 00

  Who keeps putting this water in my shower?

• 3:03:59Speaker 02

  Up top and to the right. We, we solved up top, but two days after we solved up top, we're, we're getting flooded from the right.

• 3:04:05Speaker 03

  It shouldn't be coming in from the right.

• 3:04:07Speaker 02

  It's.

• 3:04:08Speaker 03

  That, that's concerning to me.

• 3:04:09Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's coming in from the right, but I think it's my, my washer, but it's coming through the right. So I think that is my supply. Up top wasn't my supply. Other than that great week.

• 3:04:22Speaker 03

  Should maybe think about looking into the, the water coming in from the right.

• 3:04:26Speaker 02

  Yeah, there might be some water damage. Yeah, there's, it's definitely like some yellowing going on, but we'll make some calls.

• 3:04:31Speaker 03

  All right.

• 3:04:32Speaker 02

  But the only frustration there is like you use all your towels.

• 3:04:34Speaker 00

  Yeah, you can, you can't.

• 3:04:35Speaker 02

  You don't have any towels.

• 3:04:36Speaker 00

  You can't have another man wet in your, your, your shower.

• 3:04:39Speaker 02

  That's for me to wet, you know?

• 3:04:40Speaker 00

  That's crazy.

• 3:04:41Speaker 02

  Kind of an invasion of privacy.

• 3:04:43Speaker 00

  Damn.

• 3:04:44Speaker 02

  Other than that great week.

• 3:04:45Speaker 00

  All right, good. Good week, Zach. Max memes, anything?

• 3:04:49Speaker 04

  Bad show.

• 3:04:50Speaker 00

  Memes has been weird.

• 3:04:52Speaker 03

  Yeah, I mean, I don't, I can't put my finger.

• 3:04:53Speaker 00

  I don't, I don't know what it is.

• 3:04:55Speaker 03

  I think I know what it is.

• 3:04:56Speaker 00

  What?

• 3:04:56Speaker 03

  What?

• 3:04:57Speaker 02

  It's hate week.

• 3:04:59Speaker 04

  No, Dom already, Dom already conceded.

• 3:05:01Speaker 00

  Oh, okay.

• 3:05:02Speaker 04

  Didn't realize that. Yeah.

• 3:05:04Speaker 00

  Are you sure it's not also hate week?

• 3:05:06Speaker 04

  Me and Zach put him in a group chat last night, tell him congrats after every time a guardian scored.

• 3:05:11Speaker 00

  Is it hate day?

• 3:05:12Speaker 04

  He did that to us during the finals, which was quite infuriating.

• 3:05:17Speaker 00

  So is he doing that intentionally?

• 3:05:20Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 3:05:20Speaker 02

  Oh, a hundred percent intentional.

• 3:05:22Speaker 04

  So now we're doing it. He's like, why are you doing this?

• 3:05:24Speaker 02

  Ah, he's like, okay, fine. I'll trade the Browns Jets game for a Cleveland win yesterday.

• 3:05:30Speaker 00

  He'll be at the game tonight. I bought him tickets, him and Zoopie tickets to, to the game. So are you guys gonna troll him?

• 3:05:40Speaker 04

  It's only fair.

• 3:05:42Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 3:05:43Speaker 04

  He started it.

• 3:05:44Speaker 00

  He did start it. That's a, it's a low, low stakes troll off going on.

• 3:05:50Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 3:05:52Speaker 05

  All right, numbers.

• 3:05:55Speaker 05

  Ten. Three.

• 3:06:00Speaker 03

  Eighty.

• 3:06:03Speaker 04

  Sixty-one.

• 3:06:10Speaker 02

  You go to eight.

• 3:06:13Speaker 03

  Forty-four.

• 3:06:13Speaker 04

  Where'd you get the eight from?

• 3:06:16Speaker 00

  Dom did clean up, uh, my side over. Did you clean up your side?

• 3:06:20Speaker 02

  Uh, no, I didn't.

• 3:06:21Speaker 00

  He just took all my stuff and put it in a box, which I appreciate. So it's just.

• 3:06:24Speaker 04

  That's a good cleanup.

• 3:06:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, really good.

• 3:06:27Speaker 04

  Would be all right if Zach did that to your, your side too, PFT?

• 3:06:29Speaker 00

  Oh, Zach, did you do that?

• 3:06:31Speaker 02

  I didn't do that. I, I don't touch personal piles moving forward. I'm down to put it in a box if you prefer.

• 3:06:35Speaker 00

  Yeah, you could put anything in a box.

• 3:06:36Speaker 02

  Okay. I thought behind the desk was kind of like.

• 3:06:43Speaker 04

  Eighty-six.

• 3:06:45Speaker 03

  Sixty-nine, fifteen.

• 3:06:48Speaker 04

  Let's go to sixty-nine.

• 3:06:51Speaker 04

  Let's go to forty.

• 3:06:59Speaker 00

  Thirty-one.

• 3:07:03Speaker 04

  Thirty-one.

• 3:07:13Speaker 00

  Oh, who cleaned? Dom said he didn't clean this. Did anyone else?

• 3:07:19Speaker 04

  Stole your shit. I don't know.

• 3:07:22Speaker 00

  Kings, Hawaiian people? Maybe?

• 3:07:31Speaker 03

  Seventy-three. Seventy-three. No way. Happy birthday to, uh, Penae Sewell. Happy birthday to George Kittle on Friday. Happy birthday to Mike Singletary. Happy birthday to Renee from the Cubs 50-50 Lottery. Hell, yes. Happy birthday to Ben Shelton on Saturday. Happy birthday, Vinnie Pasquettino, the Pasquatch. Happy birthday to Andrew McCutchen, Troy Tulowitzki, to Cortland Sutton, Geno Smith. Happy birthday on Saturday to Brett Favre. And happy birthday to Dale Earnhardt Jr. Also on Sunday, I believe, and this is a look ahead, so I'm not 100%. I think it's TJ Watt's birthday on Sunday. Um, so I will be betting TJ Watt to have a couple sacks. Birthday sacks.

• 3:08:15Speaker 05

  For Sashon?

• 3:08:17Speaker 03

  Yeah. All right. Love you, guys.
