  Welcome to Part of My Take presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours. Today is Friday, September 11th and football is back.

• 3:47Speaker 02

  So back.

• 3:47Speaker 00

  Probably the last time we'll say that.

• 3:49Speaker 02

  No, we're gonna say it on Monday.

• 3:51Speaker 00

  No, but Monday will be boomers.

• 3:53Speaker 02

  And we're then we're gonna say football is back.

• 3:55Speaker 00

  Yeah, true, true, true, true. Yeah. Football's back.

• 3:57Speaker 02

  Back.

• 3:58Speaker 00

  We have our week one preview coming. Every single game, Scott Hanson, Fyre Fest, a great, I actually was, while we were taping this show, because we taped a lot of it earlier in the day, I was smiling because I was just getting to talk ball with my best boys.

• 4:16Speaker 02

  It's so good. Like we're, you know, we've been doing it for the last month or so, but it's mostly just been using our imagination.

• 4:22Speaker 00

  Correct.

• 4:22Speaker 02

  Just like, I wonder what the season's gonna look like. Max, why is Jalen Hurts not throwing enough picks? You know, like that sort of stuff. Now it's like, we got actual shit to talk about.

• 4:31Speaker 00

  Right. Like Drake May throwing three fourth quarter interceptions and maybe the worst throw of his career that you, you said that?

• 4:39Speaker 03

  Yeah. Worst game of his career, worst throw of his career.

• 4:41Speaker 00

  Hank, you seem like you almost canceled football season on Wednesday night.

• 4:48Speaker 03

  That's what it felt like. It sucks playing the first game of the year and then having that, you know, be the end result. Obviously, if this was a Sunday at one o'clock game, it doesn't get talked about as much as it has in the past 24 hours, but rightfully so. It was, it was, it was a horrific loss.

• 5:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 5:06Speaker 03

  There's no, there's no, there's no two ways about it.

• 5:08Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 5:09Speaker 02

  I've got some stats. If you wanted to buy the numbers.

• 5:11Speaker 03

  I got stats too.

• 5:12Speaker 00

  Oh, okay. Oh, you go first. Let's go stat for stat.

• 5:15Speaker 02

  You want to go stat for stat?

• 5:16Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 5:17Speaker 00

  All right. Well, we, the rest of us will be the judge on who wins the stat for stat.

• 5:22Speaker 00

  Go for it. Who's going up first?

• 5:23Speaker 03

  PFT, no, you go first.

• 5:24Speaker 00

  Who's got a coin? Flip a coin to see who has to go first.

• 5:27Speaker 02

  By all means, Hank, you go first.

• 5:28Speaker 00

  All right, here comes Max. He's flipping a Lucy.

• 5:30Speaker 02

  I got a Lucy.

• 5:31Speaker 00

  All right, flip it.

• 5:32Speaker 02

  Heads up top.

• 5:33Speaker 00

  Yeah, we understand what heads and tails are for that. All right, who's calling it? Hank?

• 5:38Speaker 03

  Heads.

• 5:42Speaker 02

  Heads it is.

• 5:43Speaker 00

  So are you, are you deferring?

• 5:44Speaker 03

  First, yeah.

• 5:45Speaker 00

  For the second half?

• 5:46Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 5:46Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 5:47Speaker 02

  Okay. So I'm defending. I'll take this, this side.

• 5:51Speaker 02

  All right, here we go. Stat number one, every pass that Drake May has thrown over 15 yards this season has been intercepted.

• 5:58Speaker 00

  Whoa, that can't be true.

• 6:00Speaker 02

  Three of them. Yep.

• 6:01Speaker 00

  Wow. Okay. Hank?

• 6:04Speaker 03

  The last five quarterbacks to throw three interceptions in the season opener, Matthew Stafford 2022, Joe Burrow 2022, Josh Allen 2023, Drake May this year. It's a good, good group to be in.

• 6:17Speaker 00

  It's a good thing. So none of those guys went to the Super Bowl that year?

• 6:22Speaker 03

  You're not in this.

• 6:23Speaker 00

  Well, no, we're judging, we're judging. I'm just.

• 6:27Speaker 02

  PFT wins that stat.

• 6:28Speaker 00

  Yeah, PFT won round.

• 6:29Speaker 03

  Yeah. I mean, yeah.

• 6:30Speaker 00

  Well, no, but that's.

• 6:31Speaker 02

  That's just in a row. Yeah.

• 6:33Speaker 00

  That's that. Also, you listed guys who didn't go to the goals.

• 6:36Speaker 03

  I was like the best quarterbacks in the league.

• 6:37Speaker 00

  Yeah, but those guys didn't go to the Super Bowl that year and they didn't win the MVP that year.

• 6:42Speaker 03

  You sure about that?

• 6:43Speaker 00

  Yeah. I mean, Joe Burrow's never won an MVP. Matthew Stafford's first MVP was last year. I remember Josh Allen's MVP. Wait, was that 2024?

• 6:53Speaker 02

  That was the 2023 New Orleans Super Bowl. So it's the Eagles.

• 7:01Speaker 03

  That's 2024.

• 7:02Speaker 00

  Fuck. Okay. So we, but not Super Bowl. So MVP.

• 7:06Speaker 03

  Max?

• 7:06Speaker 00

  All right. Tie.

• 7:08Speaker 02

  Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

• 7:09Speaker 04

  I still say, I still say PFT.

• 7:12Speaker 04

  So that 2022 season was after they went to the Super.

• 7:16Speaker 00

  No, I know, I know. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. They didn't go to the Super Bowl that year.

• 7:19Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 7:21Speaker 02

  Next stat.

• 7:23Speaker 00

  That just shows you.

• 7:24Speaker 02

  No.

• 7:25Speaker 00

  You can't interrupt the stat. You can't interrupt the stat. That was, you did jump offside there.

• 7:30Speaker 03

  Matt Stafford and Joe Burrow both did it. The only reason it didn't happen at Donald's because he got hurt, but that just shows you, that's just that you get to the Super Bowl, it's kind of a rite of passage. You throw three picks.

• 7:38Speaker 00

  You're saying Sam Donald, if he had played the whole game, would have thrown three picks?

• 7:41Speaker 02

  Without a doubt.

• 7:42Speaker 03

  Well, that happened with Matt Stafford and Joe Burrow.

• 7:44Speaker 00

  Mm hmm. Okay.

• 7:46Speaker 03

  It's a Super Bowl stat. You wouldn't know.

• 7:47Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 7:48Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 7:51Speaker 02

  How many times did Tom Brady do that?

• 7:53Speaker 00

  He's spicy. I like.

• 7:54Speaker 03

  I got Tom Brady stats. Keep it.

• 7:56Speaker 00

  All right, all right, stat for stat. Tom Brady, by the way, you can't jump offside.

• 8:01Speaker 02

  By the way, at this point, you award a touchdown.

• 8:03Speaker 00

  Max and Zach, let's judge this boxing rules. You know what I mean? Like, like 10, nine, one of them, then we'll tabulate after. Okay, that was round one.

• 8:14Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 8:17Speaker 02

  Of the last 22 Patriots opponents, 11 have fired their head coach, 12 have played a quarterback who is backup or benched. Only five out of the Patriots' last 22 games have not been against a bench quarterback or a fired head coach.

• 8:35Speaker 00

  Whoa. Say that again. It's a lot of words for guys like.

• 8:39Speaker 02

  The Patriots' last 22 opponents.

• 8:41Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 8:41Speaker 02

  11 have fired their head coach and 12 in that game played a quarterback who was either a backup or a quarterback who had been benched, who returned.

• 8:52Speaker 00

  Got it. Okay.

• 8:54Speaker 02

  So only five of the Patriots' last 22 games were not against either a coach who was about to be fired because the team was so bad or a backup quarterback. That was from Scott Kazmar.

• 9:06Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 9:07Speaker 03

  Tom Brady, year three, week one, had four interceptions in the first game and got benched.

• 9:16Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 9:16Speaker 02

  Okay. So.

• 9:17Speaker 03

  So to answer your Tom Brady stat.

• 9:19Speaker 02

  Benched Drake May? Is that what you're saying?

• 9:20Speaker 03

  No, I'm just saying like these things.

• 9:22Speaker 00

  We're judging these. We're judging these.

• 9:23Speaker 02

  Benched Drake May.

• 9:24Speaker 03

  No, it just means that one bad game, the first, first, first week of the season.

• 9:28Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 9:29Speaker 02

  But you're saying that like, maybe if you, you benched Tom Brady and he got better.

• 9:34Speaker 04

  How did Drake May play in the last game that he played?

• 9:37Speaker 00

  The Seahawks defense is phenomenal.

• 9:39Speaker 02

  Don't ruin, don't ruin my next stat, Max.

• 9:40Speaker 00

  Yeah, hold on. I'm, I'm, listen, I'm, I'm grading these rounds. That was round two.

• 9:48Speaker 02

  So we're gonna unveil the card at the

• 9:50Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, you gotta unveil the card at the end.

• 9:52Speaker 02

  Round three. Drake May is the first quarterback in NFL history to play two opponents back to back and have the best fourth quarter of his career in the first game and the worst fourth quarter of his career in the second game.

• 10:04Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 10:06Speaker 00

  And then what happened in both those games?

• 10:08Speaker 02

  He lost both of them.

• 10:09Speaker 00

  Okay. Okay.

• 10:12Speaker 03

  Josh Allen in 2023, week one, had three interceptions against the Jets and lost the game.

• 10:18Speaker 02

  Wasn't this, you already did that stat?

• 10:19Speaker 03

  Nope.

• 10:21Speaker 00

  What year was that?

• 10:22Speaker 03

  2023. Well,

• 10:23Speaker 00

  Yeah. Wait, Josh Allen has thrown three interceptions twice in the week one?

• 10:27Speaker 03

  Different stat.

• 10:28Speaker 00

  Wait, when did Josh Allen throw three interceptions?

• 10:31Speaker 03

  Well, one, one was a collective stat about the quarterback.

• 10:33Speaker 00

  No, you, no, no, but I need to know when Josh Allen

• 10:35Speaker 03

  Well, the loss of the game was an add-on, add-on.

• 10:38Speaker 00

  Wait, but

• 10:39Speaker 02

  You double dipped on the same stat.

• 10:40Speaker 00

  And also you might have screwed up my point of not winning the MVP that year because you're now you're saying it was 2023?

• 10:46Speaker 03

  I said that the first time.

• 10:47Speaker 00

  You said it was 2024.

• 10:48Speaker 03

  No, I didn't.

• 10:49Speaker 04

  It was opening night, 911, Aaron Rodgers stores Achilles.

• 10:52Speaker 00

  Did he not say 2024 last time?

• 10:54Speaker 03

  Nope.

• 10:56Speaker 00

  To start the show?

• 10:59Speaker 04

  I have a stat.

• 11:00Speaker 00

  Okay, so Josh Allen did not win an MVP the year that he threw three interceptions to open the season.

• 11:05Speaker 02

  Okay, okay. Halftime show.

• 11:08Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 11:08Speaker 02

  Max, your stat.

• 11:09Speaker 03

  I only have one more.

• 11:10Speaker 04

  Can I do the halftime, can I do the halftime show stat?

• 11:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm done with this.

• 11:13Speaker 02

  Is that?

• 11:14Speaker 00

  Why? All right, so, so that's a TKO for, for PFT.

• 11:18Speaker 04

  And Drake May's last two games, he has thrown more interceptions than Jalen Hurts threw in the 2024 season.

• 11:25Speaker 00

  Okay, all right.

• 11:26Speaker 04

  And one less interception than he threw last year.

• 11:28Speaker 00

  Now we're good. All right, what was your last stat?

• 11:30Speaker 04

  Lot of Patriots fans were liking to talk about A.J. Brown finally getting a good quarterback.

• 11:35Speaker 02

  This is about the Eagles.

• 11:36Speaker 03

  That's fucked up, dude, he's hurt.

• 11:38Speaker 00

  You, you just, you just liver shot it, Hank. He's out. But what was your last one?

• 11:42Speaker 02

  Uh, it's been five years since we've seen as bad of an interception situationally as Drake May threw on that last pick.

• 11:48Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 11:49Speaker 02

  Down by three, less than a minute left, inside of the 20 yard line. Last time we saw a pick that bad, Kyler Murray, week eight, 2021, which was, I do believe, uh, uh, modern warfare, double XP weekend.

• 12:01Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 12:03Speaker 00

  So Hank, what, what, you, first of all, you lost that stat off.

• 12:07Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 12:07Speaker 00

  Uh, you get, you gave up.

• 12:09Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 12:10Speaker 00

  You didn't come out of the, you didn't come out for round four.

• 12:12Speaker 03

  It was, it was, it was the, the

• 12:14Speaker 00

  I had you, I had you 10-9 in round two.

• 12:17Speaker 02

  Drake May's last five

• 12:18Speaker 00

  Right here.

• 12:19Speaker 02

  Seven touchdowns, 11 turnovers, seven picks, four fumbles lost, 24 sacks, 143 yards lost on sacks, six yards per attempt, five and a half net yards per attempt.

• 12:30Speaker 00

  I mean, now he's just being mean. He's, he's, he's caught, he's bloody.

• 12:34Speaker 03

  I mean, Josh McDaniels, it was, it was, it was horrible play calling the entire night. It was, it was super conservative. It was tough to watch, even before they gave up the lead and before the interceptions.

• 12:46Speaker 00

  That was like

• 12:46Speaker 03

  And the off, the sacks are an offensive line stat as much as it's a, as it's a Drake May stat.

• 12:50Speaker 00

  If I were Joe Rogan going to the center of the ring, I just put the microphone in PFT's face. He just hit me with another stat.

• 12:56Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 12:56Speaker 00

  He's like, shout out this last stat.

• 12:57Speaker 02

  I can do another one.

• 12:59Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 12:59Speaker 02

  Okay, Will Campbell, shortest arms in the NFL for an opposite tackle, Drake May, smallest hands, bad combination.

• 13:06Speaker 00

  Combination.

• 13:08Speaker 04

  I think you went one too far on this.

• 13:09Speaker 02

  That one wasn't, that was more editorializing. That wasn't so much a stat.

• 13:12Speaker 04

  The last one before it was really good.

• 13:14Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 13:14Speaker 00

  Oh, Hank, it's week one.

• 13:16Speaker 02

  It's week one.

• 13:16Speaker 00

  Yeah. Like A.J. Brown injury sucks. Sam Darnold injury sucks. Drew Lock, by the way, we should give him a little bit of credit. Like, that did, it felt like the Patriots thought they were gonna win that game with 10 points when Drew Lock came in and they played that way. They were very conservative. It felt like the end of first half. Um, it just, it is like, but you can never, the Seahawks defense is so fucking good. You, they'll always keep a team, their team in the game.

• 13:44Speaker 02

  Yeah, and, and this is actually like a legit stat credit to the Seahawks defense. Remondre Stevenson, he had 50 yards after contact. He had one yard before contact.

• 13:55Speaker 00

  Damn.

• 13:56Speaker 02

  So he, they were hitting him as soon as he got the ball in his hands.

• 13:58Speaker 00

  Yeah, they're fly, they fly around, they're everywhere. They made the big plays. Uh, that interception by Jobe, getting his feet down. I know it was a bad throw, but it was also like a very impressive interception.

• 14:08Speaker 02

  That is the Patriot way. Do your job.

• 14:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, JSN, like that, JSN is everything you want in a number one receiver and the fact that he could be quiet for a while and then just one catch and he changes the game.

• 14:22Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 14:23Speaker 00

  Like that's, that's the type of special player he is where he just outruns everyone.

• 14:26Speaker 02

  They need

• 14:27Speaker 00

  Why'd you take off your headphones?

• 14:29Speaker 02

  Just relax.

• 14:30Speaker 00

  You don't like what Max is gonna say?

• 14:32Speaker 04

  I didn't say a thing.

• 14:33Speaker 02

  He wasn't even looking at you.

• 14:34Speaker 00

  He didn't say anything.

• 14:37Speaker 00

  Hank, it's week one.

• 14:39Speaker 02

  You got the green dot, Hank. You have to keep the headset on.

• 14:41Speaker 00

  It's week one.

• 14:43Speaker 03

  Yes, we won.

• 14:44Speaker 02

  It's week one. Stuff happens. This was a world-class defense. The crowd was fired up. It was, uh, it was banner night. Like the, the eyes of the world were upon you. Everybody has a bad game sometimes. It gets bad. I talked to Drake May Lover after the game. I was like, what's the spin?

• 14:59Speaker 00

  We employ him for anyone who doesn't know.

• 15:01Speaker 02

  Well, yeah, what's the party line here? I, I need to know what we're saying. It's, it's kind of similar to what Hank said. Like, this is Josh McDaniels' fault. Terrible, terrible game plan.

• 15:10Speaker 03

  Terrible.

• 15:11Speaker 00

  Yeah, Drake May Lover, uh, last night after said blitz me, I don't care. And just was like, give me everything. It's tough.

• 15:18Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 15:20Speaker 00

  Hank, you, you tweeted after complete disaster, we might be in for a long season. It's week one. This wasn't a game. Did you think?

• 15:27Speaker 02

  Were you, I mean,

• 15:28Speaker 00

  Going into this game, did you think you were gonna win? Like, I, obviously you get pumped up for it, but like, when you look at the schedule, like, that's the Seahawks. That's the, that, you're playing in Seattle, banner night, the, the best defense in the league. You had to expect that it was gonna be a very tough game.

• 15:43Speaker 03

  If you were looking at my personal brain win probability chart, it was under 50% to start the game. Sam Darnold went out and it went up to like 90%.

• 15:51Speaker 00

  You didn't believe in Drew Lock?

• 15:53Speaker 03

  I didn't believe in Drew Lock.

• 15:54Speaker 00

  Drew Lock threw some darts.

• 15:55Speaker 02

  Drew Lock is, is the rare backup quarterback that is a true gunslinger. You get like long-term backup quarterbacks that are more the game manager type and they stick around a long time and, and they, they coast and, and God bless them. There's a reason why most backups kind of fit that role. Drew Lock is the rare guy that will go in and he'll, he'll put a few balls up to be intercepted, but he'll, he'll throw the fuck out of a couple of corner flags.

• 16:16Speaker 00

  Yeah, like I, I love Drew Lock for that for, because you, when you see a backup quarterback come in and they just take check downs and they're really safe, it, it can drive you insane. It's funny that Drew Lock is on the Seahawks because it's actually a bad pairing.

• 16:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 16:29Speaker 00

  Like, the one thing, like, if you don't make mistakes with that Seahawks defense, you're gonna probably win. He didn't make a mistake, so I guess that's credit to Drew Lock.

• 16:37Speaker 02

  I mean, he, he had a couple of balls that probably could have been picked off.

• 16:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 16:40Speaker 02

  Uh, but that's what you're gonna get with Drew Lock. He's gonna take some shots.

• 16:42Speaker 00

  That's it. Like, the Seahawks defense is so dominant that it's like, just, don't give, don't give the other team short fields with bad turnovers.

• 16:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 16:50Speaker 00

  And they'll keep you in the game and give you a chance.

• 16:52Speaker 02

  Yeah, so the, the Sam Darnold situation, not great. I guess it could have been a lot worse. People were thinking maybe it was a broken hip. It doesn't look like it was broken. He's getting all the tests done. You gotta be careful with Sam Darnold, I would say. Like, you don't need to rush him back. They've got a brutal schedule, pick it up in the second half in October. So, you know, get him 100%, then bring him back. And Hank, you know what? I got you. I got your back. I'm gonna avenge this loss for you. Week three.

• 17:18Speaker 00

  Three.

• 17:18Speaker 02

  I got you. All right?

• 17:19Speaker 00

  That's the

• 17:20Speaker 03

  Thanks.

• 17:20Speaker 02

  I got you. Yeah, you're welcome.

• 17:23Speaker 00

  That's huge.

• 17:23Speaker 03

  Yeah. Good guy.

• 17:25Speaker 00

  Hank, what was going through your head when, uh, Drake May was throwing picks in the fourth quarter while Stu Finer was sitting next to you watching promos of himself?

• 17:35Speaker 03

  I had to plug my ears, like, for the last, like, probably 10 minutes because Stu was just not even watching the game, talking about, God knows what. And the, the game was falling apart.

• 17:45Speaker 00

  Yeah. He was saying, he was going on a riff about how Drake May has half a man's tongue.

• 17:51Speaker 02

  Yeah. I think he's got a, a normal tongue.

• 17:53Speaker 00

  Yeah, I think it was a bad angle on the tongue.

• 17:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, but that's never gonna get out of my head now.

• 17:57Speaker 00

  No.

• 17:58Speaker 02

  Whenever I see the

• 17:58Speaker 00

  I'm always gonna be like, yeah, you can't win with a half, half a man's tongue.

• 18:01Speaker 02

  Tiny tongue.

• 18:02Speaker 00

  How you gonna do that?

• 18:03Speaker 02

  Mm-mm. Can't do it.

• 18:04Speaker 00

  All right, so you, are you feeling better today?

• 18:07Speaker 03

  No.

• 18:07Speaker 00

  Oh, worse?

• 18:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 18:09Speaker 00

  Oh, why? A.J. Brown, so A.J. Brown's out for what, at least four weeks?

• 18:14Speaker 03

  Four to six.

• 18:14Speaker 00

  High, high, uh, high ankle sprain?

• 18:17Speaker 03

  That was tough. Romeo Dobbs, brutal drop. Was nowhere to be found really all game. Again, that might have more to do with McDaniels, but the, he had a wide open catch, first down, just dropped it.

• 18:27Speaker 02

  Yeah. What do you think about, what do you think Eagles fans are thinking, watching A.J. Brown?

• 18:32Speaker 00

  Do we know any Eagles fans?

• 18:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, let's get on the phone with one.

• 18:35Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 18:36Speaker 04

  Too small of a sample size. I mean, he had 27 yards in the first half, but

• 18:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:43Speaker 04

  It's only a half of football.

• 18:44Speaker 02

  Do you think, now, you know A.J. a lot better than Hank does.

• 18:47Speaker 04

  That, the under throw on the flea flicker was a red.

• 18:51Speaker 02

  Okay, so what do you, what do you think A.J. was thinking before, before, uh, he got hurt?

• 19:00Speaker 04

  Too early to sell.

• 19:01Speaker 02

  That I don't think that's what you were saying last night, Max.

• 19:04Speaker 04

  I didn't say anything last night.

• 19:06Speaker 00

  To the under throw.

• 19:08Speaker 04

  I don't want to hear. I don't want to hear.

• 19:09Speaker 00

  No, I saw Nate Tice, who I, I mean, he's a friend of the program, guest of the show, recurring guest. He did, and I Nate Tice is one of those guys that everything he says, I'm like, he just made me smarter about football. He didn't, he wasn't excusing the under throw, but he said, a flea flicker like that is so dependent on perfect timing. And it looked like Remondre Stevenson pitched it late to Drake, Drake May. So all the timing was off.

• 19:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 19:37Speaker 04

  I mean, the.

• 19:38Speaker 00

  I, I'm just telling you what he said. He, I'm just telling you what he said and I.

• 19:42Speaker 04

  That sounds like an excuse.

• 19:43Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 19:44Speaker 02

  Okay, we won't make it.

• 19:45Speaker 00

  All right. Hey, I didn't say.

• 19:46Speaker 02

  You gotta, you gotta hit that guy.

• 19:47Speaker 00

  Good thing I didn't make the excuse.

• 19:49Speaker 02

  I think.

• 19:49Speaker 00

  Nate Tice did.

• 19:50Speaker 02

  I think you gotta hit that guy, but the pitch back was late.

• 19:54Speaker 00

  Nate Tice made that excuse. Take it up with Nate Tice.

• 19:59Speaker 00

  He's gonna be like, why did you, there'll be people tagging him being like, they fucking name checked you.

• 20:03Speaker 02

  Every.

• 20:04Speaker 00

  We're gonna have him back on this year.

• 20:05Speaker 02

  Every now and again, we get reminded, you know, we, we've had a, I think a pretty successful podcast the last 10 years. We like to think that we're, you know, we know what we're doing, but we get reminded that we're not, we're not on the Mount Rushmore. And last night that hit me right between the eyes. Skip Bayless tweeted out Drake maybe.

• 20:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 20:23Speaker 02

  And I was like, goddamn.

• 20:26Speaker 00

  Like that's, that, he stole that from Cousin Sal, actually.

• 20:28Speaker 02

  No, no, Skip did that all the way back in Drake May's rookie year.

• 20:32Speaker 00

  Oh, okay.

• 20:33Speaker 02

  Yeah. So there's, there is a big back and forth.

• 20:36Speaker 00

  Who's got the IP to Drake? A big battle on the internet.

• 20:39Speaker 02

  I, I did look deeper into that than I'm, than I'm proud to say, and it does appear that Skip Bayless was first.

• 20:45Speaker 00

  He was.

• 20:45Speaker 02

  I think they came up with it independently.

• 20:47Speaker 00

  That would be very funny if that was a, like mistype, an autocorrect.

• 20:51Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 20:52Speaker 00

  He's like, fuck, I gotta go with it.

• 20:53Speaker 02

  Drake maybe is just a, just a banger of a nickname, unfortunately.

• 20:57Speaker 00

  What do you think, Hank?

• 20:59Speaker 03

  Skip.

• 21:00Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 21:00Speaker 03

  Skip.

• 21:02Speaker 02

  Do you, you respect Skip?

• 21:05Speaker 03

  I respect Skip, yeah. He's good at what he does. Troll.

• 21:10Speaker 02

  The, the men's health article that came out, I thought was actually pretty cool. Drake May does seem like a good guy.

• 21:16Speaker 02

  He, he drinks what, like five pina coladas a year?

• 21:18Speaker 00

  Yeah, that, so he, yeah, five pina coladas, doesn't drink beer.

• 21:24Speaker 02

  Doesn't drink alcohol.

• 21:25Speaker 00

  I, as much as you want to like, be like, what a loser, he's an NFL starting quarterback. And I think if you told anyone in the world like, hey, don't drink any beer, you'd be in NFL. Now, obviously that's not why he's an NFL starting quarterback, but he's clearly doing something right.

• 21:40Speaker 03

  He also said it's because his dad, like he grew up, he's like, never really saw his dad drink. His older brother doesn't drink. So it was like, yeah, I was just following, you know?

• 21:46Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 21:46Speaker 03

  My role models.

• 21:47Speaker 00

  And shout out pina colada. I was saying, I'm, I'm a daiquiri guy, but getting, getting like pool or beach drunk on just daiquiris or pina coladas is a top tier experience. Can't do it every day. I do it maybe once a year, but it is a great, I did it at Max's bachelor party. She got fucked up on some strawberry daiquiris.

• 22:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, you get the mix, you get the Miami Vice going.

• 22:09Speaker 00

  Yeah, just being like, you know what? I'm gonna have five of these while I'm at the pool.

• 22:13Speaker 02

  It just.

• 22:13Speaker 00

  And then I'm gonna get out of the pool. I'm not gonna be able to walk.

• 22:15Speaker 02

  It's the worst, the worst hangover too.

• 22:17Speaker 00

  Yeah. Oh, terrible. Terrible. But in the moment, it's the best vibe.

• 22:21Speaker 02

  You have a really good time drinking them.

• 22:23Speaker 00

  You're basically drinking candy.

• 22:25Speaker 02

  And you can't, you can't be upset if you've got a, a pina colada glass that's got like maybe the orange slice on it.

• 22:30Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 22:30Speaker 02

  And the garnish, like you can't be upset where you're drinking that. You're just having a good time. So yeah, I got no problem with him not drinking alcohol. It has worked out really well for him. But I would like my quarterback to have a thirst for champagne. That's the difference.

• 22:44Speaker 00

  Good point.

• 22:45Speaker 02

  Maybe add that to the repertoire.

• 22:47Speaker 00

  Hank, prediction on the, by the way, we should have mentioned this, we did a, a group bet before the season where we took all of our teams, win total overs. We adjusted some of them. So I think it ended up, I'll pull it up. It's, it's all of our teams plus the Chargers for Shane. And it's a group bet that we're gonna split. I think we put, we put a decent amount on it. With DraftKings, it was, let's see, Bears over seven and a half. So we, we, we toggled a couple of them down. Bears over seven and a half.

• 23:24Speaker 00

  Chargers over eight and a half, Bucks over six and a half, commanders over six and a half, Patriots over eight and a half, Eagles over eight and a half, Jets over four and a half. We thought it'd be a fun thing. We're gonna get a big board, track it. Someone is probably gonna screw the bet for everyone else. Hank, you immediately afterwards were, wrote in the group chat like this bet, like this stinks. You're like, that was, that it's over. What was the exact thing you said?

• 23:49Speaker 03

  This bet is dead.

• 23:50Speaker 00

  This bet is dead. Yeah.

• 23:54Speaker 00

  It's not dead. What do you think the Patriots record's gonna be?

• 23:57Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 23:58Speaker 02

  Why are you this down about it?

• 24:00Speaker 03

  Did you watch the game? Like, what the fuck they're talking about?

• 24:02Speaker 02

  Seahawks are Super Bowl champions.

• 24:04Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 24:05Speaker 02

  That's just a fact. A bonus point for that fact. Good stat.

• 24:09Speaker 00

  I think it's fair to be like.

• 24:11Speaker 03

  I don't know how you walk away from that game and be like, yeah, we can win 10 games.

• 24:14Speaker 00

  Well, you're not gonna play the Seahawks every week. I think the bigger question would be, what?

• 24:19Speaker 04

  Who's Seahawks with Drew Lock?

• 24:21Speaker 00

  The Seahawks, Drew, but the defense, I'm saying.

• 24:23Speaker 02

  You're saying that like Drew Lock is a pile of shit.

• 24:26Speaker 04

  Yeah, that wasn't Seahawks, the Seahawks, Drew Lock.

• 24:30Speaker 00

  Do you have any existential questions right now about Drake May? Because it was.

• 24:34Speaker 03

  No.

• 24:35Speaker 00

  The playoffs weren't great and then.

• 24:37Speaker 03

  Playoffs were great, we went to the Super Bowl.

• 24:39Speaker 00

  No, no, but his play, I'm saying.

• 24:41Speaker 02

  I can read back the stat of his last five games if you want.

• 24:44Speaker 03

  I'm good.

• 24:45Speaker 00

  He's already dead.

• 24:45Speaker 03

  I don't have, to answer your question, no.

• 24:47Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 24:48Speaker 03

  Josh McDaniels.

• 24:49Speaker 00

  Yeah, I, what I was gonna try to come around to is like, I don't think you should. The Seahawks are an incredible defense.

• 24:56Speaker 03

  I know.

• 24:57Speaker 00

  Yeah. So don't be so down.

• 24:59Speaker 02

  Right. Max is being kind of dumb.

• 25:01Speaker 03

  I'm not down on Drake May. The team, like again, like I don't.

• 25:04Speaker 04

  No, it's week one. Week one is the.

• 25:07Speaker 00

  Week one.

• 25:07Speaker 04

  But I mean, the Seahawks, that's a terrible loss. It's a terrible.

• 25:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, I mean, yeah, three interceptions.

• 25:12Speaker 04

  So like, but you're, you keep saying like, you keep, yeah, you keep saying like, oh, it's the Seahawks, Seahawks. You're winning the game against Drew Lock. You let Drew Lock come back and win that football game. Terrible loss. Week one is really what you should be saying right now.

• 25:23Speaker 00

  Right.

• 25:23Speaker 04

  Not Seahawks, Seahawks, Seahawks.

• 25:24Speaker 03

  You guys are so fucking annoying. It's like, oh, like fast forward preview for like 10 minutes, like week one, not gonna overreact, but we're totally gonna overreact.

• 25:32Speaker 04

  Just said it's week one.

• 25:34Speaker 02

  And it's also very much a joke.

• 25:35Speaker 04

  You just, you just agreed with what I just said.

• 25:37Speaker 03

  No, but like you're.

• 25:38Speaker 00

  You said they're done.

• 25:39Speaker 03

  You go week one, let's say we're not gonna overreact, but we're totally gonna overreact. And then it's like, I'm overreacting. You guys are cool. Like what, how could you just overreact? It's like, you guys are gonna do the same thing.

• 25:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:49Speaker 00

  Not if we win.

• 25:49Speaker 02

  For sure.

• 25:50Speaker 04

  But this is, this is your friends telling you not to overreact.

• 25:52Speaker 00

  Yeah, we're trying to be good friends.

• 25:54Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 25:55Speaker 03

  Okay, thanks guys.

• 25:56Speaker 04

  So we're saying that.

• 25:56Speaker 00

  You're welcome.

• 25:57Speaker 04

  This is why. If you're in that seat, you're overreacting.

• 25:59Speaker 02

  This is why having standalone games is the absolute worst.

• 26:01Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's the worst.

• 26:02Speaker 02

  Yeah. The world doesn't need to have an opinion on your favorite team.

• 26:05Speaker 00

  Yeah. After week one.

• 26:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm ready to just watch more football this weekend and then, and then we'll worry about the.

• 26:11Speaker 00

  Remember the Vikings, Bears game Monday night last year? I was fucking down in the dumps. Yeah.

• 26:18Speaker 02

  Question for Hank.

• 26:19Speaker 00

  Yeah, PFT.

• 26:20Speaker 02

  Henry.

• 26:21Speaker 00

  Oh, you're fucking dead naming.

• 26:22Speaker 02

  Henry, uh, next week against the Steelers, is that a must win game?

• 26:26Speaker 03

  No.

• 26:27Speaker 02

  Okay. Okay. Start off 0-2?

• 26:30Speaker 00

  If you lose that, is Jaguars, that Jaguars a must win game?

• 26:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 26:34Speaker 02

  Okay. There's some bad stats though. Like you don't want to start off 0-2.

• 26:40Speaker 04

  I think Steelers is most win.

• 26:41Speaker 02

  Hank, uh.

• 26:42Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 26:42Speaker 02

  October 18th.

• 26:44Speaker 03

  Bears?

• 26:45Speaker 02

  12 o'clock noon game. Jets at Patriots. Is that a must win game?

• 26:48Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 26:50Speaker 02

  That's gotta be a must win.

• 26:51Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 26:52Speaker 03

  All right. Yeah, we need, we need nine.

• 26:54Speaker 02

  You, it's time to lock in.

• 26:58Speaker 00

  All right, the other game, the 49ers, I mean, we not, we are not smart people. No one's listening to this show for football acumen, but sometimes we are smart. And repeatedly saying it makes no sense what the Rams are planning on doing, flying in the day before. And the 49ers have been there for a week and a half. Turns out to be exactly correct because the Rams looked awful. Super team. They looked so bad.

• 27:28Speaker 02

  Pooper team.

• 27:28Speaker 00

  Pooper team. Stafford looked off and, and credit to the Niners, the Niners, like their blocking scheme was, was awesome to, to deal with the Rams front. They, Brock Purdy, yeah, he had one doy doy play, but other than that, like he looked like great Brock Purdy where he was, you know, extending plays in the pocket, making, you know, big time throws, the, the touchdown pass to, to DeMarcus Robinson.

• 27:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 27:55Speaker 00

  The Niners are, the Niners are a good team. Like, I don't know, we probably didn't give them enough, uh, love going into the season just because they, time and time again, they have the top end talent. It's like, can they stay healthy? They had a couple more injuries tonight. Stribbling, I think is out. Uh, that looked like an Achilles. But super team, super team off to a bad start. Turns out maybe you shouldn't try to beat. Time.

• 28:17Speaker 02

  So here, here's the thing. Um, it was a terrible idea that Sean McVay tried to do. But I, I have to respect how much of an all time fuck it move it was.

• 28:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 28:28Speaker 02

  To just pretend that time zones don't exist.

• 28:30Speaker 00

  Correct.

• 28:31Speaker 02

  He was just like, you know what? Fuck it. We're not gonna, we're not gonna adapt. We're gonna fly in, fly out. Fuck it.

• 28:35Speaker 00

  Not, not only to pretend that time zones don't exist, but to pretend that a 15 hour flight has no effect on a body.

• 28:42Speaker 02

  No effect whatsoever.

• 28:43Speaker 00

  Like, I take a three hour flight and I'm, I'm like, I feel like shit.

• 28:46Speaker 02

  They.

• 28:46Speaker 00

  15 hour flight and you play a football game less than a day and a half later.

• 28:50Speaker 02

  15 hour flight with no wifi.

• 28:52Speaker 00

  Is that true?

• 28:53Speaker 02

  There's no wifi on that jet. Yeah.

• 28:55Speaker 00

  Do they do that on purpose so people would sleep?

• 28:57Speaker 02

  I think it that you had to do a trade off and the jet that they got is like the most comfortable.

• 29:02Speaker 00

  Yeah, they had all lay down.

• 29:03Speaker 02

  Lay flat ones, but that particular model of plane does not have wifi.

• 29:07Speaker 00

  Also, I have a question because I know lay flat, like I'm a larger man, but I'm not an NFL football player. I barely fit in the lay flats. How did any of these guys fit in a late, like, how did an offensive lineman fit in a lay flat?

• 29:22Speaker 02

  Maybe just a, like a blow up mattress that you put in the aisle?

• 29:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, I guess.

• 29:26Speaker 02

  I don't know. But yeah, that, no, that's a fair point because I mean, I gotta be honest, the lay flats, I fit perfectly.

• 29:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 29:33Speaker 02

  That's like.

• 29:34Speaker 00

  You're snug as a bug.

• 29:35Speaker 02

  A hundred percent fit like a glove.

• 29:36Speaker 00

  Yeah, no, I'm, when I do the lay flat, it's like either my head is touching the wall or my feet are like, you know, bent.

• 29:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, I can't imagine.

• 29:43Speaker 00

  You can't do both.

• 29:44Speaker 02

  I can't imagine that Matt Stafford, who had to like sleep in a, a med bed outside the Rams facility in training camp last year.

• 29:51Speaker 00

  Yeah, he could have loved that.

• 29:52Speaker 02

  He probably didn't enjoy, the old back probably didn't enjoy that. But yeah, terrible idea by Sean McVay. We, we knew it because I guess we're not that stupid where we can figure out, yeah, you probably should try to acclimate a little bit. That said, I think it's, it's gonna be better for them on the back end than it is for the Niners, who right now will have to fly back and then get re-acclimated to United States time.

• 30:12Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 30:12Speaker 02

  I don't think the Rams are gonna have to do that. So, um, yeah, you kind of like trade one for the other, but this was, uh, it was kind of a no doubter. The Niners looked much, much better.

• 30:21Speaker 00

  Their run game is always gonna be awesome. It was awesome.

• 30:24Speaker 02

  And the, uh, the, the dump offs to McCaffrey, the short passing game was, was great. Debo looked fast as shit.

• 30:30Speaker 00

  He did.

• 30:30Speaker 02

  Physical. Um, it was great seeing Kittle out there.

• 30:33Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 30:34Speaker 02

  That first hit that he took, you could see like some relief when he got hit the first time and he bounced back up. He was like, okay, I'm back in it now.

• 30:40Speaker 00

  Yeah. Um, it's kind of crazy that, uh, George Kittle, by the way, and we're obviously very biased because we love him to death, but he, it's crazy that he tore his Achilles and he missed four quarters of football.

• 30:52Speaker 02

  He, he tours Achilles in January.

• 30:54Speaker 00

  He missed one game.

• 30:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 30:55Speaker 00

  Cause they, he won game. He missed the, the game against the Seahawks.

• 31:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:00Speaker 00

  It's fucking nuts.

• 31:02Speaker 02

  Give the substation some credit.

• 31:03Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:04Speaker 02

  Maybe it's not all bad.

• 31:05Speaker 00

  He's just an absolute beast.

• 31:07Speaker 02

  But yeah, the, uh, there was a couple, there are a couple of injuries in this game in Australia tonight, and there's gotta be no worse feeling in the world than having to fly back 15 hours with like a torn Achilles.

• 31:16Speaker 00

  Shoot, shoot me like a horse.

• 31:18Speaker 02

  That would be.

• 31:18Speaker 00

  Like, I'm not coming back. Boys aren't coming back.

• 31:20Speaker 02

  Unless they give you, like, you get the good stuff before you get on the plane.

• 31:24Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:24Speaker 02

  Then you fall asleep. But still, I, they, they usually don't let you fly if you've got like a, a recently broken bone.

• 31:31Speaker 00

  Right.

• 31:31Speaker 02

  If you're swelling up, they won't let you do it.

• 31:33Speaker 00

  Now.

• 31:33Speaker 02

  So that's got, that's by far the worst flight home, I would say, would be Landman, who looked like he, he fucked up his forearm.

• 31:38Speaker 00

  Yeah, I got a question for you, PFT. Are we going to, if the 49ers lose week two and the Rams win, and we're gonna say the Rams maybe got it right? Because that was part of it.

• 31:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:48Speaker 00

  That it's gonna be hard for the 49ers to adjust back. The Rams will be able to get right back in there because they never changed time zones. The Rams are, the 49ers also do get to play the Dolphins.

• 31:58Speaker 02

  And then I think the Rams have the Cardinals.

• 32:01Speaker 00

  No, they have the Giants.

• 32:01Speaker 02

  The Giants.

• 32:02Speaker 00

  The 49ers have Dolphins and Cardinals. So the 49ers could, should be a three and O team.

• 32:07Speaker 02

  They could be. Um, I think it's really gonna fuck with them going back.

• 32:11Speaker 00

  But they have, but they have some time.

• 32:13Speaker 02

  They got a little bit of time to.

• 32:14Speaker 00

  And maybe more times they're playing the Dolphins.

• 32:16Speaker 02

  I, I think that's, that's probably more likely what this case was. And that's Sean McVay saying.

• 32:21Speaker 00

  One game.

• 32:22Speaker 02

  I'm not, this is one game. It's, it's a stupid expansion thing.

• 32:25Speaker 00

  But it's not, it's, it's one game, but it's a divisional game.

• 32:28Speaker 02

  It does count.

• 32:29Speaker 00

  Pretty fucking important.

• 32:30Speaker 02

  It does count. So.

• 32:32Speaker 00

  Especially when you have a division that, you know, last year came down to all three teams were in it until the last two weeks of the season, right?

• 32:41Speaker 02

  Right.

• 32:42Speaker 00

  That's not, a divisional game isn't nothing.

• 32:44Speaker 02

  I don't think that Stafford looked great tonight. In fact, I, I think he looked pretty bad for most of the game.

• 32:49Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 32:49Speaker 02

  Um, I am willing to chalk a lot of that up to the 15 hours on a plane.

• 32:53Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 32:55Speaker 02

  But super team, that status.

• 32:57Speaker 00

  My ass.

• 32:58Speaker 02

  Super team, my ass. Maybe on hold a little bit. Myles Garrett, absent this game.

• 33:02Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 33:03Speaker 02

  I don't think he even played much of the second half at all.

• 33:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 33:05Speaker 02

  Kilometers Garrett, as they call him in Australia.

• 33:08Speaker 00

  Aaron Donald, smartest guy ever.

• 33:10Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 33:11Speaker 00

  Coming back.

• 33:12Speaker 02

  There was a guy on the Niners that got cut after he made it to Australia. Or he just maybe moved to the practice squad.

• 33:20Speaker 00

  Squad, okay.

• 33:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:21Speaker 00

  Yeah, but that, that's fine because the Niners were there for so long.

• 33:24Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 33:24Speaker 00

  Like I saw guys in tracksuits on the Niners sideline and at first I was like, why the fuck are they there? And then I remembered, oh, they've been there for a week and a half. Rams, that would be devastating.

• 33:35Speaker 02

  That'd be pretty bad. Yeah.

• 33:36Speaker 00

  Yeah. They should have actually brought like, the, if the Rams were smart, they should have brought a coach they were planning on firing anyway.

• 33:43Speaker 02

  That would have rocked.

• 33:43Speaker 00

  And just been like, you know.

• 33:44Speaker 02

  Just leave him over there.

• 33:46Speaker 00

  I also would like to talk to you because like Schrager, I think said this, the Rams sent a couple scouts over the summer to like test run this.

• 33:55Speaker 02

  I've got the, uh, the exact quote right here.

• 33:57Speaker 00

  I would like to talk to these people.

• 33:58Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:58Speaker 04

  Two years.

• 33:59Speaker 02

  Yeah, he said, uh.

• 34:00Speaker 00

  Two years.

• 34:01Speaker 02

  This isn't some trial and error approach. They've sent 15 staffers over the last two years and have tracked their bodies and sleep rhythms.

• 34:08Speaker 00

  That's, that's an insane pun.

• 34:11Speaker 02

  Uh, oh, yeah.

• 34:12Speaker 00

  Yeah. Oh, shit.

• 34:14Speaker 02

  Yeah. You thinking what I'm thinking?

• 34:18Speaker 00

  Oh, my God, I couldn't even get the P word out of my mouth.

• 34:23Speaker 02

  Punishment.

• 34:24Speaker 00

  You wouldn't do that. I mean, if we all agreed to.

• 34:30Speaker 04

  So what would it be?

• 34:31Speaker 00

  You had to fly to Australia and you get to stay there for one day.

• 34:35Speaker 02

  You do the Rams trip.

• 34:36Speaker 00

  Do the Rams trip.

• 34:38Speaker 02

  No wifi on the plane?

• 34:39Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 34:40Speaker 02

  I think we'd have to do wifi on the plane. So we'd have to like update.

• 34:44Speaker 00

  I don't know. Would we? So they left Tuesday, they left Tuesday and they, they're getting back when?

• 34:51Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 34:52Speaker 00

  Like, I'm thinking about episodes, although it would be funny if you had to do the episode from Australia.

• 34:58Speaker 02

  Or from the plane.

• 34:58Speaker 00

  From us, the one day you were in Australia.

• 35:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 35:01Speaker 00

  I mean.

• 35:03Speaker 04

  No, we leave Thursday, it would be leave Thursday, come back Sunday.

• 35:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, I, I do.

• 35:09Speaker 04

  Leave Thursday, I don't know how, let's not get into the times.

• 35:12Speaker 02

  Yeah, we can't do that right now.

• 35:13Speaker 00

  Well, let's put it on the table and we can discuss later.

• 35:16Speaker 02

  I think that it was also, I, I felt like I was feeling some of the Rams pain because we watched it at night here and that game was so goddamn bright.

• 35:25Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 35:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was the brightest sun that I've seen in an NFL game in a long time. I felt like I got jet lagged just from watching the game.

• 35:31Speaker 00

  Yeah, it was weird. It was also, I, I saw 57 degrees. It's like, man, that's, that's good. That's good shit. We're gonna about to have that.

• 35:39Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 35:40Speaker 00

  It's fall day.

• 35:41Speaker 02

  Do we have to have concerts at, at every standalone game now? Is that a rule?

• 35:46Speaker 00

  Yeah, I think so. We also flag cocked them. Ours was just a little bit bigger.

• 35:50Speaker 02

  It was bigger and.

• 35:50Speaker 00

  And I liked it.

• 35:51Speaker 02

  The, uh, the people in the stands were wearing like, they all got into the shape of the American flag for a little bit.

• 35:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 35:57Speaker 02

  Kind of cool.

• 35:57Speaker 00

  And also that stadium was just the worst stadium ever for football. You were so far away, so far away.

• 36:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, the cricket ground.

• 36:05Speaker 00

  Yeah. If you're, if you're in the first level, you're just can't see anything.

• 36:10Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 36:11Speaker 00

  So, good job, Roger. Thanks so much.

• 36:13Speaker 02

  We grew the game today a little bit.

• 36:15Speaker 00

  Yeah, we did.

• 36:15Speaker 02

  Seventh, seventh biggest game in NFL history.

• 36:19Speaker 00

  What?

• 36:20Speaker 02

  Seventh most people in attendance.

• 36:21Speaker 00

  Oh, wow.

• 36:22Speaker 02

  Okay, let's go. We did it. Now, if you're gonna have a game in Australia, I feel like this is, this was the opportunity for ACDC to play halftime.

• 36:31Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm. Agreed.

• 36:35Speaker 02

  History made.

• 36:35Speaker 00

  Football's back, boys.

• 36:36Speaker 02

  A hundred thousand people.

• 36:38Speaker 00

  Uh, before we get into our week one picks and preview, we're gonna go through every game. Uh, Barry Melrose, we should mention, uh, legend of the game, passed away, very sad. He was the face of hockey, like.

• 36:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:50Speaker 00

  Through and through for a long time. Just the, the swaggiest, coolest guy you see on TV. Seemed like everyone, you know, the stories that come out, he seemed like the best guy.

• 37:01Speaker 02

  There were years where ESPN had, had no, uh, business or broadcasting interest in hockey whatsoever.

• 37:07Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 37:08Speaker 02

  And they would still bring Barry on to talk a little puck because he was that captivating, seems like a great guy. Never got a chance to meet him, but, um, yeah. Uh, Mount Rushmore of TV mullets for sure.

• 37:20Speaker 00

  Absolutely.

• 37:21Speaker 02

  And, uh, yeah, just an all time, all time hockey guy. So it's, it's very sad. I feel like he was, uh, he was hockey to a lot of people growing up in the United States that didn't necessarily come from a hockey town.

• 37:32Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah. Um, all right. Should we, uh, get to our week, week one picks and preview? And then we have Scott Hanson?

• 37:41Speaker 02

  Let's do it.

• 37:41Speaker 03

  Let's do it.

• 37:42Speaker 00

• 38:22Speaker 00

  The NFL picks and preview is brought to you by our friends at Reese's. And we have the Reese's Oreos right here. There's something for everyone when it comes to Reese's and we absolutely love Reese's. Did you put these out, Zach? Zach, did you put these out?

• 38:39Speaker 04

  Can't go wrong with the combo right there.

• 38:41Speaker 00

  Thank you so much. These are, I, I like, these are the perfect candy snack, everything. Right here in this, in this sleeve, right here. Reese's and Oreos. It's so, so good. When they decided to do this, I actually like, I actually was bummed when they, when they made it. Because it's like, what else is there in life? This is it. This is the pinnacle. They reached the pinnacle with the Reese's Oreos combo, but Reese's is the 1-1 pick. For everyone's Mount Rushmore, we're doing picks and preview. It's our 1-1 pick for week one. We're going to have Reese's everywhere. It is the Seattle Seahawks of candy. That's a fact.

• 39:18Speaker 02

  Great offense, great defense.

• 39:20Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 39:21Speaker 02

  And you know what? Even if you can't get that, the Reese's Oreo, the backup's not bad either.

• 39:26Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 39:26Speaker 02

  Have to go with the regular.

• 39:27Speaker 00

  Yes. So Reese's, the official candy partner of Barstool Sports. Go get Reese's wherever you shop. All right, boys. It is week one in the NFL. We're going to have a full slate on Sunday. I'm so excited. How's everyone feeling? We're going to go, so we're going to go through every game. We're going to do our picks. We'll have to figure out a punishment. Two picks each. How's everyone feeling?

• 39:53Speaker 02

  I'm feeling really good. It's the best time of year. This is bar none, the best time of year. Everything is possible. Everything's on the table. You have the highest expectations for your guys. Your team could go undefeated, except for Hank. But theoretically, most people's teams could go undefeated.

• 40:08Speaker 03

  Not you or Max.

• 40:10Speaker 00

  No, they can't.

• 40:11Speaker 02

  They tie, you could tie. Yeah, true. Good point.

• 40:13Speaker 00

  Yeah. You could tie.

• 40:15Speaker 02

  Checkmate.

• 40:15Speaker 00

  You get a point for a tie.

• 40:16Speaker 04

  I think Jake Marsh actually had us tying.

• 40:18Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 40:18Speaker 02

  Okay, yeah. Max, honestly, I'll, I'll offer you a draw.

• 40:23Speaker 04

  I will not, I will not take that.

• 40:25Speaker 00

  By the way, PFT, thank you for the gift you got me.

• 40:27Speaker 02

  You're welcome.

• 40:28Speaker 00

  I will be wearing it on Sunday.

• 40:29Speaker 02

  You're welcome. I went, I was, I've mentioned this before, but sometimes early in the morning, if you catch me, if somebody sends me a product or something comes across like a targeted ad, if it's before I get out of bed, I am extremely impulsive with my purchases early in the morning. So I got you the, the Caleb and Ben Johnson t-shirt. And then I got Hank, the Patriot Stone Cold Steve Austin jersey.

• 40:53Speaker 00

  The Caleb and Ben Johnson, by the way, is like a weird mashup where it's Ben Johnson giving the finger. So I think that's the Ditka finger, but then Caleb smoking a cigarette, which is the Cutler cigarette.

• 41:03Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, it's all over.

• 41:04Speaker 00

  It's kind of just like, there's a little, it's almost like a Taylor Swift song where there's Easter eggs to Bear's Pass.

• 41:09Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's, it's all over the place. So, you know, just a little something to get the boys back into the, the NFL spirit. I'm very much looking forward to on Sunday morning, the text. Hopefully we get it again from, from Boom.

• 41:20Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 41:20Speaker 02

  From the swamp that me and Big Cat get, which is just basically wishing us a happy NFL season.

• 41:25Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 41:25Speaker 02

  And that's, that's one of the highlights of my year, but I'm, I'm so excited.

• 41:29Speaker 00

  I'm so excited.

• 41:31Speaker 00

  We gotta, we gotta figure out the, the TV. We'll get, we're going to go through every game. Where, where the games are going to be. Should we give ourselves a little warning? And I'm not going to listen to my own warning, but don't overreact to week one.

• 41:44Speaker 02

  I don't agree to that.

• 41:45Speaker 00

  Yeah, no, I don't either. I'm just telling me as right now, we're sitting here, it's Thursday morning. Come Sunday night, when we're recording this show, I will absolutely overreact. But if, if, if anyone wants to like, you know, heed my advice from past me, don't overreact. I was looking at it last year, week one, um, we had the Patriots lose to the Raiders. The Raiders went on to be the worst team in the league.

• 42:12Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 42:13Speaker 00

  And the Patriots went to the Super Bowl.

• 42:15Speaker 02

  Maybe that'll happen to the Seahawks this year and then the Patriots go right back.

• 42:18Speaker 00

  Yeah, don't overreact. How about, uh, do you guys remember there was a shootout in the Meadowlands? The Jets and the Steelers played in a shootout.

• 42:27Speaker 02

  That was amazing.

• 42:27Speaker 00

  And we thought, oh my God, 34-32. That was one of the most exciting games we watched. Week one, we're like Justin Fields, Aaron Rodgers, this is going to be, these teams are going to be awesome to watch.

• 42:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 42:38Speaker 00

  That didn't turn, turn out to be the case.

• 42:40Speaker 02

  It was a sliding doors moment. That was, uh, memes could have had an awesome season last year if they won that game.

• 42:45Speaker 00

  Yeah. And then, uh, on that Monday night game, week one, so this is why I'm really bringing it up because it's, it's a message to myself. J.J. McCarthy beat Caleb Williams and it looked like J.J. McCarthy was going to be the Vikings' future. And now he's QB3 for the Vikings.

• 42:59Speaker 02

  Correction, uh, J.J. McCarthy lost the first three quarters against the Bears. Nine beat the Bears in the fourth quarter.

• 43:06Speaker 00

  But the point is, uh, week one, there will be some weird shit that happens. Week one, we'll look back and be like, wow, that was, that was fucking bizarre.

• 43:13Speaker 02

  If you were to draw it up on a map, how would you plan out where your team would play in week one? Because I think, I think the correct answer is right down the dick of Sunday, 12 o'clock, 1:00 p.m. game.

• 43:23Speaker 00

  I got it.

• 43:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 43:24Speaker 00

  But the Bears have it this year.

• 43:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 43:26Speaker 00

  Bears at Panthers.

• 43:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 43:29Speaker 00

  Noon game.

• 43:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, just buried in there.

• 43:31Speaker 00

  Couldn't, couldn't ask for a better.

• 43:32Speaker 02

  Nestled in there. It's kind of like, you're in a cozy spot. It's like a nice warm blanket of all the other games wrapped around.

• 43:37Speaker 00

  Like in terms of the national, uh, audience, the Bears are somewhere between like the third and fifth most exciting game in that's, in that window.

• 43:46Speaker 02

  I would not want to.

• 43:46Speaker 00

  Which is so perfect.

• 43:47Speaker 02

  I would not want to be first.

• 43:49Speaker 00

  I wouldn't want to be, I wouldn't want to be first. I wouldn't be last.

• 43:51Speaker 02

  Yeah, you don't want the Monday night game. That's, that's tough too.

• 43:54Speaker 00

  You also don't want like the Bills and Texans, that noon game, like they're, they are the premier noon game.

• 44:00Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 44:00Speaker 00

  You don't want to be game of the week.

• 44:01Speaker 02

  I don't think you want to be, uh, Sunday night either, because then you're surrounded by a bunch of people that have just won potentially. And then now all eyes on you.

• 44:08Speaker 00

  And the story is you.

• 44:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, the story is you at that point for an entire Monday. Uh, I think, I think game of the week, Sunday afternoon, not great. Not a great spot to be, but it could be worse.

• 44:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 44:20Speaker 04

  Not great. I think you want a noon. You want a.

• 44:22Speaker 00

  You want a noon against a team that you have no like.

• 44:24Speaker 04

  You, you, I want yours.

• 44:25Speaker 00

  That's exactly.

• 44:26Speaker 04

  You have Bears, Panthers, like enough to get like a little bit excited because like, you know, the Panthers were in the playoffs last year, kind of.

• 44:34Speaker 00

  So like, I'm worried about this game. I think the Panthers are going to be like a decent team. I'm not saying that the Bears are going to win this game, but it's not, I don't know any Panthers fans in my life. I don't like, there's no.

• 44:43Speaker 04

  They're not in the division.

• 44:44Speaker 00

  Not in the division.

• 44:45Speaker 02

  The Almex.

• 44:45Speaker 00

  The Almex, that's true. And the, the guy who sings, who's fucking awesome. If I had him.

• 44:50Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, yeah, that guy. Yeah. Steph Curry.

• 44:53Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 44:53Speaker 02

  Best basketball player ever from Akron.

• 44:55Speaker 00

  That is true. I actually did meet him, remember at Tahoe, when Marty Fisher was like, hey, this is Big Cat. And he was like, oh, what's up? And then he just walked away.

• 45:01Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 45:02Speaker 00

  So I, I do know Steph Curry.

• 45:04Speaker 02

  Your friend, your good friend?

• 45:04Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 45:05Speaker 02

  Just a kid from Akron.

• 45:06Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, okay. Uh, one last thing before we get to the games. I have, uh, each team's week one record since 2000. Do you guys want to guess who's number one and who's dead last?

• 45:19Speaker 02

  Best week one team in the NFL.

• 45:22Speaker 00

  Since 2000.

• 45:24Speaker 02

  I could, I could maybe make a better guess if it was since 2020. But I'll, I'll just go with those same teams that I would have guessed in the last six or so years. Uh, I'll say the Fluffy Eagles.

• 45:34Speaker 00

  They are number one.

• 45:35Speaker 02

  All right.

• 45:36Speaker 00

  18 and 8.

• 45:36Speaker 02

  Let's go, Max.

• 45:37Speaker 00

  The New England Patriots are 17 and 9. I actually don't know if it's been updated since last night, so they might be 17 and 10.

• 45:42Speaker 02

  Okay. All right. Good to know. And then, oh, that's right. They lost.

• 45:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 45:45Speaker 02

  For the worst.

• 45:47Speaker 00

  This one should be easy.

• 45:48Speaker 02

  In week one, I'm going to guess the Bengals.

• 45:50Speaker 00

  No, the Cleveland Browns.

• 45:52Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 45:53Speaker 00

  Three and 22 and one.

• 45:56Speaker 03

  Fucking joke.

• 45:58Speaker 02

  Crazy.

• 45:58Speaker 03

  Joke of a city.

• 46:00Speaker 00

  Three times in week one since 2000.

• 46:03Speaker 02

  That's crazy. And they keep going back. God bless them. I love, I love Browns fans.

• 46:09Speaker 00

  By the way, we should give a little context here. Hank is a little extra salty. We obviously already talked about the Patriots game, but he did text this morning being like, I'm injured. I'm not coming in, uh, because the Patriots lost. And my assistant, Dom, who is a diehard Cleveland, all Ohio Cleveland sports fan, uh, replied, which is very uncharacteristic of, of him, replied to the entire group chat text with the rock gif saying, shut up bitch.

• 46:35Speaker 04

  Yeah. Yeah. Very out of character for Dom.

• 46:40Speaker 04

  He doesn't talk in there often.

• 46:42Speaker 02

  But I don't think that there's been a more liked message in the group chat.

• 46:45Speaker 04

  Oh, it was great.

• 46:45Speaker 02

  I like instantly, everybody just slammed it. Dom's been feeling himself a little bit recently.

• 46:49Speaker 00

  Well, it's because they haven't, the Browns haven't had to play a game yet.

• 46:52Speaker 02

  That's it. It's.

• 46:53Speaker 03

  They got LeBron.

• 46:54Speaker 02

  This is last week.

• 46:55Speaker 03

  Oh, wait, fuck.

• 46:56Speaker 02

  Oh, I saw him. He went up to Max the other day and he, he berated Max. He told Max to lock in. Because Max didn't know the Sixers preseason schedule.

• 47:06Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 47:06Speaker 02

  He was like, if you're going to take, if, if I'm giving you LeBron, if you're now in charge of him and he's yours, I need you to take better care of him and to know the preseason schedule, Max.

• 47:15Speaker 04

  He was really mad. He was like, that's going to be the first time. And he was right. He is right.

• 47:19Speaker 02

  Take care of his boy.

• 47:20Speaker 04

  It's going to be the first time you see LeBron in a Sixers uniform. You gotta be locked in on the preseason.

• 47:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 47:27Speaker 04

  I didn't, said whatever.

• 47:30Speaker 02

  Yeah. But yeah, so shut up bitch.

• 47:31Speaker 00

  Shut up bitch.

• 47:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, listen, I mean, I, I like.

• 47:34Speaker 04

  This is also yesterday, NFL opening day, he was yelling at me for not knowing NBA preseason.

• 47:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, he's fired up.

• 47:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 47:41Speaker 04

  NFL opening day.

• 47:42Speaker 02

  Until the Browns play, they're, they're like, they're going to be what, three, they're at least third to last place.

• 47:48Speaker 00

  The, the problem that you have, Max, and this is, this is mostly my fault. I told, I told Dom like six months ago, I said, do not talk to me about LeBron. So he's got to talk to someone else about him. So he's just.

• 47:59Speaker 02

  I'm, no, I'm happy to talk.

• 48:00Speaker 00

  Do not talk.

• 48:01Speaker 02

  I'm happy to have an ally.

• 48:02Speaker 00

  LeBron. I was like, we're not a LeBron show.

• 48:04Speaker 02

  I don't know that he's an ally though. He, he's like an over involved ex.

• 48:08Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 48:08Speaker 02

  That's like, making sure that you know how she likes, you know, she likes her baths not too hot, but kind of hot.

• 48:14Speaker 00

  He's a.

• 48:14Speaker 02

  Medium bubbles.

• 48:15Speaker 00

  He's a helicopter mom. Trying to go out for like a dinner and telling the babysitter like, oh, no, no, don't do that. Like.

• 48:23Speaker 02

  She likes.

• 48:23Speaker 00

  It's crazy.

• 48:24Speaker 02

  She likes her feet rubbed before bed, Max, if you can, you know, take care of my girl.

• 48:28Speaker 00

  Oh, do not let, do not let him eat that pirate's booty.

• 48:31Speaker 02

  I.

• 48:31Speaker 00

  Have you looked at the back?

• 48:32Speaker 04

  I need to know these things though.

• 48:34Speaker 00

  Okay, let's do the games. First up, uh, I think this will be a prominently displayed game because it's one of the best. You guys agree Bills Texans is going to be the main TV?

• 48:43Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 48:44Speaker 00

  But this one's going to be a fun game. Uh, Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Cincinnati Bengals. Bengals are minus three and a half, over under is 50 and a half.

• 48:53Speaker 00

  Baker Mayfield got paid. Is that good or bad? Because obviously it's good. We're Baker Show. We're happy he got paid. I'm just saying, is it good or bad? Because now he might not have the same chip on his shoulder.

• 49:05Speaker 02

  I don't think that that's going to be a factor for Baker.

• 49:08Speaker 00

  I don't, they could have.

• 49:09Speaker 02

  You know what it is? They did a secret extension.

• 49:12Speaker 00

  I know.

• 49:13Speaker 02

  So they were working on it behind the scenes. Baker didn't know about it. His agent like kind of kept it from a little bit. I don't know why that that all went down that way, but I think that since it was a secret extension, Baker just might be like, oh, you didn't think I could handle knowing how the negotiation we're going to go?

• 49:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 49:28Speaker 02

  And sometimes agents will do this in the NFL. They don't want to over inform the players about how it's going because some of the offers might be, it might not feel good to hear what the the low ball offers are at the beginning until you get to the final number. So Baker's like, what am I a child? You don't think I could handle?

• 49:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 49:44Speaker 02

  Knowing what was going on back and forth?

• 49:46Speaker 00

  Yeah, the adults are talking.

• 49:47Speaker 02

  Yeah. So now Baker might be just pissed off at his agent. And at the at the Bucks for not keeping him informed. And again, this is just Baker trying to find someone to be pissed off about.

• 49:54Speaker 00

  Find something.

• 49:55Speaker 02

  Got to find something. But yeah, I think. If you look at these two teams, recent history, Bengals, very slow starters.

• 50:02Speaker 00

  But they started 2-0 last year.

• 50:05Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 50:05Speaker 00

  So like, I know that that is a narrative. And I think I'm actually going to go against that narrative now because I, the fact they started 2-0 last year. The fact that they played their starters at least somewhat in the preseason, which they hadn't been doing, and that was part of the part of Joe Burrow's story. And also, Joe Burrow's just been injured so many times that I think this is the first time he's had an offseason where he didn't have to deal with something. Remember he had the foot? He talked about, he's like, I'm going to use my legs again. Like, I feel 100%. I, that has to count for something, the fact that he's finally had a clean offseason, not an offseason of rehabbing, getting ready, everything that goes into it.

• 50:44Speaker 02

  Had a full camp.

• 50:45Speaker 00

  He had a full camp.

• 50:46Speaker 02

  Got a full camp going.

• 50:47Speaker 00

  Zach, how are you feeling about this game?

• 50:49Speaker 05

  I feel good about the game. Baker was pumped up in the press conference yesterday, excited to stay with the team. So I'm not too worried about him getting paid leading to like a lull in the season. A lot of guys are healthy, ready to hit the field. I feel good about the game. I'm, I was high and I am high on Joe Burrow this season, but I would like to see 10 big Buccaneers obviously defeat them.

• 51:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, I'm not saying I'm going to bet the Bengals because I think three and a half is probably too much, but I'm just, I, I expect the Bengals to, to, to come out to start the season better than they have. And again, they started 2-0 last year. It was a close win against the Browns. Remember that weird Jaguars game? I just, I, I think they, they put a lot of focus on it and it does feel like one of those years where it's like, everyone's kind of, everything's on the table for the Bengals, like they,

• 51:30Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 51:31Speaker 00

  If things don't go well, is Joe Burrow going to stay? I know he said that he wants to stay. Is, you know, T. Higgins, Zach Taylor, all this stuff.

• 51:40Speaker 02

  So if you look at the Bengals, they do have that recent history and if you look at the, the point total, I believe they're one and five to the over. So I guess that'd be five and one to the under in week ones recently, and they are one and five against the spread in season opens. A lot of that does have to do with the fact of injuries.

• 52:00Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 52:00Speaker 02

  And just they're notoriously,

• 52:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 52:02Speaker 02

  slow starts that they've been getting off to. And then the Bucks, I'm sure you've heard Stephen Chase say this, but Todd Bowles,

• 52:08Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 52:09Speaker 02

  4-0, week one as a head coach.

• 52:11Speaker 00

  They've won, they've won five consecutive. So that even goes back to Bruce Arians. But yes, he has said that to me very, a ton of times.

• 52:17Speaker 02

  Very much. Yeah.

• 52:17Speaker 00

  Very much.

• 52:18Speaker 02

  The one thing I am looking at like this, the total of this game, it feels like it's too early in the season to have that high of a total.

• 52:24Speaker 00

  I agree, but I am also nervous. I, I do think both of these defenses are going to be better. Like we saw at the end of last year, the Bucks defense kind of fell off a cliff. I think they're going to be better. And I, the Bengals defense got better at the end of the year and they added Dexter Lawrence. I think that's going to be better than people realize. Because like that's, you know, you can always just say, oh, the Bengals defense sucks. I think that's kind of a slightly dated narrative. I expect them to be more middle of the pack defense this year.

• 52:52Speaker 02

  Yeah. How's Ruben Bain feeling right now?

• 52:55Speaker 00

  Probably good.

• 52:56Speaker 02

  Because that's a guy, I, if I were to pick like a defensive rookie of the year, I think I'm looking at Bain right now. And that might also just be cope because I really don't want the Cowboys to have found the safety of the future. But Bain, I feel like is just a monster waiting to play.

• 53:11Speaker 00

  Yeah, I agree. I agree. All right. So what were you gonna say, Zach?

• 53:14Speaker 05

  Ruben Bain's ready to inflict pain.

• 53:16Speaker 00

  Yeah, he said that?

• 53:17Speaker 02

  Ready for pain?

• 53:18Speaker 05

  He didn't say that, but in the clips I can see it in his mannerisms.

• 53:21Speaker 00

  Good.

• 53:21Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 53:22Speaker 00

  Good. You can see it.

• 53:23Speaker 04

  Also, David Bailey exists.

• 53:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, I knew, I saw you memes talking with the mic not on, being like, what about David Bailey? What about R. V. L. Reese?

• 53:31Speaker 02

  I did, I did, I saw a headline on, on Joe Buck's fan that just said, Ruben Bain wants to create a new level of football.

• 53:37Speaker 00

  Oh, shit.

• 53:38Speaker 02

  So that's terrifying. That's fucking terrifying. I'm, I'm kind of happy with the current level of football we have right now. But if it's created like Ruben Bain, it's probably going to be violent. So sign me up.

• 53:45Speaker 05

  Yeah. He's wearing the Bain face mask so he could turn to a villain.

• 53:48Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 53:49Speaker 00

  A new level of football would be awesome.

• 53:50Speaker 02

  That's what they said about Travis Hunter too, right? Like he's going to change the entire sport.

• 53:54Speaker 00

  Yeah. Hank, is, are the Bucks part of your hungry dog?

• 53:57Speaker 05

  Nope.

• 53:58Speaker 00

  What are you doing? Just getting ready? Let's prep.

• 54:02Speaker 05

  I'm doing the hungry dog as we speak.

• 54:03Speaker 00

  Oh, I love it. All right. Will you let us know as soon as you have it?

• 54:06Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 54:06Speaker 00

  Okay. Next up, Saints at Lions, Lions minus seven, over under 49 and a half. I was thinking about this. Uh, this is one of those weird matchups. I don't have any memories of the Saints playing at the Lions and I looked it up.

• 54:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, I do.

• 54:20Speaker 00

  2020 was the last time they played. Saints at Lions. Do you know who the leading rusher for the Lions was?

• 54:29Speaker 00

  Cause this one shocked me and I had memory hold the whole thing.

• 54:32Speaker 02

  2020.

• 54:33Speaker 00

  It was Stafford versus Drew Brees.

• 54:35Speaker 02

  I remember the game.

• 54:36Speaker 00

  2020, Saints at Lions. Who is the leading rusher for the Detroit Lions?

• 54:42Speaker 04

  Adrian Peterson.

• 54:43Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 54:43Speaker 04

  Bang.

• 54:44Speaker 00

  Fucking insane. I just forgot. I know he jumped around to a million. Oh, there you go. Get the high five.

• 54:50Speaker 04

  I never get those right.

• 54:51Speaker 00

  Yeah, that was great. I had completely forgot that he was, because he jumped around to so many teams at the end. And also I think he was leading rusher with like 34 yards. So it wasn't exactly a memorable performance. But yeah, these teams, I, I don't have many memories of them playing in Detroit.

• 55:07Speaker 02

  So they have played 27 times in the all time series.

• 55:11Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 55:11Speaker 02

  The Saints and the Lions. Right now it's tied 13, 13 and one.

• 55:16Speaker 00

  Oh, wow.

• 55:16Speaker 02

  So maybe grudge match?

• 55:18Speaker 00

  Huge grudge.

• 55:18Speaker 02

  Grudge match of the week. It is also a Dan Campbell, not really a revenge game, but he used to coach for the Saints.

• 55:24Speaker 00

  Yeah. It's a game.

• 55:26Speaker 02

  It's a game. It's a game between.

• 55:27Speaker 00

  Every game's a revenge game.

• 55:28Speaker 02

  Like two likable enough teams. I think if you're not in the same division as either one of these, you don't have a problem with either team. We're on game ball watch right now for Kellen Moore. So he's probably, what, what did he say? Like he gives out, was it six or seven, eight game balls a game?

• 55:43Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 55:43Speaker 02

  I'm trying to remember the interview where Hank farted, how many, how many game balls he gave away.

• 55:46Speaker 00

  Well, you don't understand. The Pelicans facility was right next door.

• 55:50Speaker 02

  It was right there.

• 55:50Speaker 00

  It was right next door.

• 55:51Speaker 02

  Also, if you saw the chair.

• 55:52Speaker 00

  Hey, get in the mix here. What do you got?

• 55:56Speaker 05

  What do you want?

• 55:56Speaker 00

  I don't know. We're trying to poke you.

• 55:58Speaker 02

  Yeah, we're trying to get you up.

• 55:59Speaker 00

  Let us poke you.

• 56:00Speaker 02

  Get you up.

• 56:00Speaker 05

  I'm here.

• 56:01Speaker 00

  It's week one, dude.

• 56:02Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm excited. Football's back. Football's so fucking back.

• 56:07Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 56:09Speaker 02

  Jared Goff, dome.

• 56:11Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 56:12Speaker 02

  He doesn't play a cold weather game until late December.

• 56:14Speaker 00

  Week 17, the Bears. I also, I feel like the, I'm high on the Lions this year.

• 56:19Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 56:20Speaker 00

  And part of the reason why I'm high on the Lions is that like, before the season is starting, the biggest quote I could find about this game and like from Lions camp was Jared Goff talking about his trip to the Detroit Zoo with his daughter.

• 56:32Speaker 02

  I love that.

• 56:32Speaker 00

  So that, that, that's actually a good place to be in as a team. He said, I was blown away by how many animals they have and how big it is. The tiger was cool right there on the glass, the polar bear, the grizzly bears are massive. I was shocked. Maybe I underestimated the capabilities of Detroit Zoo.

• 56:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, don't do that.

• 56:47Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 56:48Speaker 02

  Underestimate that zoo at your own peril.

• 56:50Speaker 00

  Yeah. I think he just was, had he, had Jared ever been to a zoo before?

• 56:56Speaker 02

  I don't, I think he, in his mind, I don't want to disparage Jared.

• 57:00Speaker 00

  I'm gonna text him. I'm gonna ask him if he'd ever been to a zoo.

• 57:02Speaker 02

  But this is, I think it might be flashbacks to, you remember 2016 when he, he wasn't aware that the sun rose in the east and set in the west? On Hard Knocks? In his mind, I could, I could see him thinking that the only animals they'd have at the Detroit Zoo would be like animals that you would find in nature in Michigan.

• 57:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 57:22Speaker 02

  Like, oh, look, they got, they got the black squirrels here.

• 57:25Speaker 00

  I also will say, Jared Goff is a Cali kid. I feel like they don't, besides San Diego, I feel like Cali kids, they just go out, they go outside.

• 57:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 57:34Speaker 00

  They don't go to zoos.

• 57:35Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 57:36Speaker 00

  You know? And also, what, what, what can I say?

• 57:39Speaker 04

  Isn't like San Diego.

• 57:40Speaker 00

  I said besides San Diego.

• 57:42Speaker 02

  It is the best.

• 57:42Speaker 04

  I gotta lock in.

• 57:43Speaker 00

  You gotta lock in.

• 57:44Speaker 04

  But you can't say, you can't say Californian.

• 57:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 57:47Speaker 04

  They have the biggest zoo.

• 57:48Speaker 02

  I agree. If you're from California, you should in theory know that like San Diego.

• 57:52Speaker 00

  But he's from NorCal.

• 57:53Speaker 02

  It rocks.

• 57:54Speaker 00

  Bro.

• 57:54Speaker 04

  But you can't just.

• 57:55Speaker 00

  NorCal bros are so different than SoCal bros.

• 57:57Speaker 04

  There's like one zoo that I know and it happens to be in California.

• 58:01Speaker 00

  Right.

• 58:01Speaker 04

  So you can't just like,

• 58:02Speaker 00

  Whoa, Hank, Hank, you got a face there.

• 58:04Speaker 05

  You know one zoo?

• 58:05Speaker 00

  You only know one zoo?

• 58:06Speaker 04

  One like famous zoo.

• 58:07Speaker 02

  You know lots of zoos.

• 58:08Speaker 04

  I guess like the Cincinnati Zoo because of Harambe.

• 58:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, you know, we talked about.

• 58:12Speaker 05

  Like a mile away.

• 58:13Speaker 02

  We talked about 20 zoos on this pod.

• 58:15Speaker 00

  I interviewed people from zoos.

• 58:16Speaker 04

  Saying like nationally recognized zoos.

• 58:19Speaker 00

  Bronx Zoo. Bronx Zoo.

• 58:20Speaker 02

  Bronx Zoo. How about that?

• 58:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:21Speaker 05

  Sung Zoo.

• 58:22Speaker 00

  Bronx is burning.

• 58:22Speaker 04

  That's local zoo.

• 58:24Speaker 02

  That's an, that's a, an author.

• 58:25Speaker 00

  Zootopia.

• 58:27Speaker 04

  That's a movie.

• 58:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:28Speaker 04

  You know it? That's probably.

• 58:30Speaker 00

  Sounds like you know it.

• 58:30Speaker 05

  Zoolander.

• 58:31Speaker 02

  Oh, good point.

• 58:32Speaker 04

  That's also a movie. Madagascar.

• 58:34Speaker 02

  Zoo riot.

• 58:36Speaker 05

  Mark who?

• 58:37Speaker 04

  Mark Zuma, Sixers legend, legendary broadcaster.

• 58:41Speaker 00

  All right, I'll update you if Jared texts me back, but I, I was blown away by how many animals they have and how big it is. Tiger was cool right there on the glass, polar bear, the grizzly bears are massive. I was shocked. I've been to his first zoo.

• 58:54Speaker 02

  That to me, I'd like to see more NFL teams taking group trips to the zoo.

• 58:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:58Speaker 02

  Before things get, you can learn a lot from those animals.

• 59:01Speaker 00

  Uh, by the way, last thing on this game, we are obviously lathering Tyler Shuck.

• 59:06Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 59:07Speaker 00

  100%.

• 59:08Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah.

• 59:09Speaker 00

  100%.

• 59:10Speaker 06

  I'm also.

• 59:11Speaker 00

  To the moon, Tyler Shuck.

• 59:13Speaker 02

  I'm also, I'm very high on the Lions this year.

• 59:16Speaker 00

  Yeah, I mean, their, their, their schedule is, they should be a team that's in the playoffs. And I think they probably will win the NFC North.

• 59:25Speaker 02

  In theory, this is like, I mean, the Lions are as healthy as they're going to be all season.

• 59:28Speaker 00

  Well, and they, they, they were the, they were the snake bitten team last year where they lost a bunch of games. They were like, how the fuck did they lose that game? Yeah, I think they're gonna be really good.

• 59:37Speaker 02

  Are the Lions on Crosby watch?

• 59:41Speaker 00

  Ooh, interesting. Didn't even think about that.

• 59:43Speaker 02

  Like, what do, what do they have to do to get, to get Crosby interested in going to the Lions? And I guess it's not really up to him.

• 59:50Speaker 00

  It would have to be the Raiders stinking.

• 59:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 59:54Speaker 00

  I don't know what their pick situation is either. How many picks they would be willing to trade?

• 59:58Speaker 02

  All I'm saying is they're on, I, I think them and maybe the Cowboys might be on Crosby watch.

• 1:00:01Speaker 00

  I had a dream last night, this is.

• 1:00:03Speaker 02

  The Crosby show, we'll call it.

• 1:00:04Speaker 00

  This is gonna be really pathetic to say out loud. I had a dream last night that, uh, the Bears traded Tyson Bajent for the Seahawks first round pick.

• 1:00:13Speaker 02

  Fleeced.

• 1:00:15Speaker 00

  I was like, damn, I like Tyson Bajent, but gotta fucking do that.

• 1:00:19Speaker 02

  Honestly, fleece.

• 1:00:20Speaker 00

  First round pick. Alright, next up, Jets at Titans. Titans minus one and a half, over, under 38 and a half. The Robert Saleh revenge game memes.

• 1:00:32Speaker 06

  I know we said we weren't gonna do overreactions. I think this is the biggest game of Aaron Glenn's life.

• 1:00:38Speaker 02

  Okay, no, that's not an overreaction. That's a, it's cause it's not a reaction.

• 1:00:44Speaker 06

  True.

• 1:00:44Speaker 02

  It's, the game hasn't happened yet.

• 1:00:46Speaker 06

  Yeah, I, I think he needs to prove that he can coach better than the guy he replaced.

• 1:00:52Speaker 02

  It's a over, it's a pre-action.

• 1:00:54Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's a pre-action.

• 1:00:55Speaker 02

  You're over pre-acting right now. And will you think that it's the biggest game of his life if they lose or if they win or both?

• 1:01:03Speaker 06

  Both. He needs, he needs to win the game.

• 1:01:05Speaker 02

  No matter what happens, it's going to be the biggest game of his life.

• 1:01:07Speaker 06

  Yeah, because if they lose, then in all Jets fans heads, it's like, we, we just replace Bob with a guy who's worse than him. And Bob's not a good coach, so we just have a bad coach.

• 1:01:21Speaker 00

  Yeah, right. This, this.

• 1:01:23Speaker 02

  So losing the locker room potentially.

• 1:01:24Speaker 00

  Both of these teams.

• 1:01:26Speaker 06

  Losing the fan locker.

• 1:01:26Speaker 00

  Yeah, both of these teams obviously, uh, are not expected to be in the playoffs. You never know what happens in the NFL season. This might be the most important game of week one because there's, there's the level of like, there could be a devastating loss here. If one team gets blown out.

• 1:01:41Speaker 02

  I do think that.

• 1:01:42Speaker 00

  Like, that's devastating.

• 1:01:43Speaker 02

  Whichever team loses, they might immediately go into tank mode.

• 1:01:47Speaker 00

  Right.

• 1:01:47Speaker 02

  Like, like right off the bat.

• 1:01:49Speaker 00

  Cause they're both eyeing each other, being like, we're not as bad as you, we're not as bad as you.

• 1:01:52Speaker 02

  It's gonna be a wake up call for whoever loses this game, yeah.

• 1:01:55Speaker 00

  It's a really, really like, like you, in a weird way, you would rather start the season playing the Ravens. And it's like, well, we never gonna win that game. We can, we still have a long season. You play the Titans, it's, it's very similar Raiders Dolphins. That's a staring match of like, whoever loses that game, like you stink buddy.

• 1:02:15Speaker 06

  Yeah, no, season, season's probably over if you lose to the Titans.

• 1:02:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, I, I think they're thinking the exact same thing about, about the Jets. There's only a handful of teams out there that, um, when their logo pops up on your schedule, you're happy to see those logos. And I think this is two matchups of two teams that are very happy to see each other's logos. And I count myself in that, in that handful of teams as well. Um, but yeah, you can't lose this game memes.

• 1:02:39Speaker 06

  Can't lose.

• 1:02:39Speaker 02

  And you have to get a pick too. There's no better chance, no better venue to get a pick than against Cam Ward. The defense feels good, like it should be better. You gotta, you set the tone.

• 1:02:51Speaker 06

  I always forget that we didn't have an interception last year.

• 1:02:54Speaker 00

  Yeah, well, no, you don't because you bring it up all the time.

• 1:02:57Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's true.

• 1:02:58Speaker 02

  It is the first.

• 1:03:00Speaker 06

  I feel like you guys bring it up.

• 1:03:01Speaker 00

  No, but he brings it up a lot too.

• 1:03:02Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's a crazy stat.

• 1:03:04Speaker 00

  He literally, when they got the preseason interception, he's like, yeah, we got an interception.

• 1:03:07Speaker 06

  Yeah, fired up. We got, we got a bunch of interceptions.

• 1:03:09Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:03:09Speaker 02

  If our memes guy was not memes and our memes guy was a fan of a different team, I, I think that individual probably be encouraged to, uh, make a lot of stats that said things like, this is the first week one game of a team that intercept, intercepted zero passes last year. Like everything they do for the first time this season. That was the first timeout by a team that intercepted zero passes in 2025. I think that would probably happen if it wasn't you memes.

• 1:03:36Speaker 06

  Yeah, probably. I might have some in my drafts that are like that, but.

• 1:03:40Speaker 00

  The good thing you got going for you memes is the Titans have their new jerseys. And I think like, whenever you wear a new jersey, I don't take you as a real football team for a few weeks. You know, like this is a made up team.

• 1:03:52Speaker 02

  But.

• 1:03:52Speaker 00

  So you can maybe sneak them.

• 1:03:54Speaker 02

  What if everything's different in these jerseys? Have you thought about that?

• 1:03:58Speaker 00

  Yeah, true. I took the Jets in my Survivor League.

• 1:04:02Speaker 02

  It's ballsy.

• 1:04:03Speaker 00

  You like that memes?

• 1:04:05Speaker 06

  I love it.

• 1:04:06Speaker 00

  Yeah, the Jets, I, the Jets are gonna be good.

• 1:04:09Speaker 02

  Memes, I kinda, I kinda like the Jets this week too.

• 1:04:13Speaker 03

  I love the Jets this week.

• 1:04:14Speaker 06

  I love the Jets this week.

• 1:04:16Speaker 00

  Oh, man.

• 1:04:16Speaker 02

  Oh, no.

• 1:04:17Speaker 00

  We all love the Jets.

• 1:04:18Speaker 02

  Uh, I have my most boring stat of the week.

• 1:04:21Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:04:22Speaker 02

  You ready for this?

• 1:04:22Speaker 00

  Do, do, do, do.

• 1:04:23Speaker 02

  No, that's, that's too exciting of a sound. We gotta think of a more boring sound for the most boring stat of the week.

• 1:04:29Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:04:31Speaker 02

  The Tennessee Titans are traveling 18,157 miles this year.

• 1:04:37Speaker 00

  Whoa.

• 1:04:38Speaker 03

  What, did you get like a, a, a magazine with like the information on teams traveling? This is your new?

• 1:04:43Speaker 02

  No, I literally saw one graphic of, of, uh, travel stats this, this year. So I actually compared that to last year for the Titans and for the Patriots.

• 1:04:51Speaker 00

  We're gonna get even more boring.

• 1:04:52Speaker 03

  Yeah, no.

• 1:04:53Speaker 02

  No, no.

• 1:04:53Speaker 03

  You did this for a lot of teams.

• 1:04:54Speaker 02

  No, it was literally these two.

• 1:04:58Speaker 02

  The Tennessee Titans total travel distance in 2025 was 18,157 miles.

• 1:05:04Speaker 00

  Alright, that's crazy.

• 1:05:05Speaker 02

  They're traveling the exact same amount of miles.

• 1:05:07Speaker 00

  That's wild.

• 1:05:08Speaker 02

  Back to back years.

• 1:05:09Speaker 00

  That's wild.

• 1:05:09Speaker 02

  That's pretty fucking wild.

• 1:05:11Speaker 00

  That's wild.

• 1:05:11Speaker 02

  Apologize for doubting the stat hang.

• 1:05:13Speaker 00

  That's not a, that's not a boring stat.

• 1:05:15Speaker 03

  I didn't say it was boring. PFT did. You apologized to yourself.

• 1:05:18Speaker 02

  I'd like to apologize to, to the listeners for underselling just how exciting that stat would be. Play the sound again, big cat.

• 1:05:25Speaker 00

  Do, do, do, do.

• 1:05:27Speaker 02

  Pretty good stat.

• 1:05:28Speaker 00

  Okay, memes, you're gonna win this game.

• 1:05:31Speaker 06

  I think there's, I think there's a top three game of the week.

• 1:05:35Speaker 00

  Um, okay, I disagree. I think for you.

• 1:05:39Speaker 06

  No, I, I think for everybody, just like last year, it's gonna be the same thing.

• 1:05:44Speaker 00

  Okay, sell us on it.

• 1:05:45Speaker 06

  High scoring.

• 1:05:46Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:05:47Speaker 06

  Both defenses could be bad.

• 1:05:48Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:05:50Speaker 06

  That's pretty much it.

• 1:05:51Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:05:52Speaker 06

  I'm seeing more than, more than two games that are better.

• 1:05:56Speaker 00

  Name them.

• 1:05:57Speaker 06

  Chiefs Broncos.

• 1:05:58Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:05:59Speaker 06

  Patrick Mahomes washed.

• 1:06:01Speaker 00

  Okay, Texans Bills.

• 1:06:03Speaker 06

  Defense, defensive game, probably like 13, 10, final score.

• 1:06:07Speaker 00

  Okay, Bucks Bengals.

• 1:06:09Speaker 06

  Great game. That's, that's one, that's one.

• 1:06:11Speaker 00

  Vikings Packers.

• 1:06:12Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, now another low scoring game.

• 1:06:14Speaker 00

  Commanders Eagles.

• 1:06:16Speaker 06

  For the podcast, great.

• 1:06:19Speaker 00

  Alright, we're done doing this. Alright.

• 1:06:23Speaker 00

  Ravens minus three and a half at the Colts, over, under 47 and a half. The Baltimore Ravens, Lamar Jackson is 20 and six against the spread on turf in his career.

• 1:06:33Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:06:35Speaker 00

  If you want a stat, that's a good stat. Uh, I'm, I'm high on the Ravens this year. We do have a, uh, brotherly battle going on. Did you guys see this? Declan Doyle, new OC for the Baltimore Ravens. His brother, younger brother, Dylan Doyle, is the Colts defensive quality, uh, control coach. And when they asked him about it, Declan said, uh, they haven't talked, he hasn't talked to Dylan for a while. Said, I love my brother, but it is what it is. That feels a little, a little much for a week one game where your, your brother's not even the defensive coordinator.

• 1:07:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't know about that.

• 1:07:11Speaker 00

  We haven't talked in a while, like, we're like, we can't, we, we, we have to end this relationship.

• 1:07:15Speaker 02

  Enemies.

• 1:07:16Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:07:16Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:07:16Speaker 00

  Your, your defensive quality control.

• 1:07:18Speaker 02

  And no relation to Jack Doyle from the Colts, I'm assuming.

• 1:07:21Speaker 00

  I don't think so.

• 1:07:21Speaker 02

  Different Doyle family.

• 1:07:22Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:07:23Speaker 02

  Uh, yeah, I, I mean, Lamar Jackson loves playing on turf. He loves playing at the Colts as well.

• 1:07:29Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:07:30Speaker 02

  It's a good stadium for him to run around. Also, um, I believe with Lou Anarumo defenses, Lamar Jackson tends to feast.

• 1:07:39Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:07:40Speaker 02

  In the past, so I, I, I like the Colts. I, I am high on the Colts this year. I don't know about week one though. I feel like this, I'm, I think I might be taking the Ravens in this one. But, um, also I believe that there is a new, this is our Colts that just came out. From Seth DeFlo Erskine's.

• 1:07:57Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:07:58Speaker 02

  And he's got a very special guest.

• 1:08:01Speaker 00

  What'd he say?

• 1:08:01Speaker 02

  Do we want to listen to it? It, it literally just came out.

• 1:08:04Speaker 00

  Oh, love it.

• 1:08:04Speaker 02

  He's been teasing it all week.

• 1:08:11Speaker 02

  Are you guys ready?

• 1:08:15Speaker 04

  It's the Purdue Varsity Glee Club.

• 1:08:17Speaker 00

  Oh my God.

• 1:08:35Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:08:39Speaker 00

  I love it. I love it.

• 1:08:41Speaker 02

  So that was the Purdue Varsity Glee Club was the special guest.

• 1:08:46Speaker 00

  I like.

• 1:08:47Speaker 03

  Those guys get a lot of pussy.

• 1:08:48Speaker 02

  We just got done telling you that we like the Ravens in this.

• 1:08:53Speaker 02

  I might flip.

• 1:08:54Speaker 00

  What? What, Max?

• 1:08:56Speaker 04

  Did you guys know you could go JV and Glee?

• 1:08:58Speaker 00

  Wait, it's JV?

• 1:09:00Speaker 04

  This is varsity.

• 1:09:01Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah, true. True. The implication.

• 1:09:03Speaker 02

  Yeah. Freshman.

• 1:09:05Speaker 00

  Those guys actually probably do clean up.

• 1:09:06Speaker 04

  I think in a place like.

• 1:09:08Speaker 00

  I am not lying. Like, they definitely clean up.

• 1:09:10Speaker 03

  At a place like Purdue, it's like.

• 1:09:11Speaker 04

  Purdue has no.

• 1:09:12Speaker 03

  Everything is the opposite.

• 1:09:13Speaker 00

  Yeah, but they, yeah, they.

• 1:09:14Speaker 03

  They might clean up more than the football.

• 1:09:16Speaker 00

  I agree. I think.

• 1:09:16Speaker 04

  Pretty sure Purdue is like 85% male.

• 1:09:18Speaker 00

  It's, you got that from me. It's like 60%. I have maybe made.

• 1:09:24Speaker 04

  I definitely have got that for me.

• 1:09:25Speaker 00

  Yes, yes. I made it seem like it's like all, an all male in college. But I think these guys do. I think these guys are the cock of the walk.

• 1:09:33Speaker 02

  I'm looking at the, the Glee Club in the background. It's, it's all dudes in the Glee Club.

• 1:09:37Speaker 00

  Yeah, but you don't think there's groupies?

• 1:09:39Speaker 02

  There might be like a female.

• 1:09:41Speaker 00

  Oh, there's groupies.

• 1:09:42Speaker 02

  The corral? I guess if it's horses, yes.

• 1:09:46Speaker 04

  Then they stepped to the.

• 1:09:47Speaker 02

  What's a female Glee Club? The she club.

• 1:09:49Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:09:52Speaker 00

  The I have a headache club. Okay. 59%. Yeah. So, yeah.

• 1:09:58Speaker 04

  Basically 85%.

• 1:09:59Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:09:59Speaker 02

  Okay. Well, I'm glad that we watched this because I think I'm changing my pick to the, to the Colts.

• 1:10:03Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:10:04Speaker 02

  Also, before we started taping, I did log on to the Colts website because I was not sure if I had season tickets or not.

• 1:10:11Speaker 00

  Ah.

• 1:10:11Speaker 02

  Do not have season tickets.

• 1:10:12Speaker 00

  Okay, good, good, good.

• 1:10:13Speaker 02

  So we don't have to give any tickets.

• 1:10:14Speaker 00

  There we go.

• 1:10:15Speaker 02

  Are you sure? Yeah, I mean, I just looked at my account.

• 1:10:19Speaker 00

  I got a lot of Akron season tickets.

• 1:10:21Speaker 04

  Yeah, I just got Akron parking passes in my mailbox.

• 1:10:24Speaker 03

  No one gives a fuck about Akron or wants to go to the football games.

• 1:10:29Speaker 04

  Oh, God, yep.

• 1:10:30Speaker 00

  Like that. That's, that's more shotsy, Tom. Uh, did you guys see? We had, we had our quote of the week. Want to get the quote of the week sound, Hank?

• 1:10:38Speaker 03

  Parenth- parenth-

• 1:10:40Speaker 00

  Whoa, okay.

• 1:10:41Speaker 03

  There's the parentheses.

• 1:10:42Speaker 00

  Okay, okay. Uh, quote of the week comes.

• 1:10:47Speaker 02

  We should have put that in the audiobook.

• 1:10:49Speaker 00

  Uh.

• 1:10:49Speaker 04

  That was, that was a deaf child.

• 1:10:52Speaker 02

  Was that, was that, was it open parentheses or closed parentheses?

• 1:10:55Speaker 03

  I was, I was opening and closing. It was like paren- paren- paren-

• 1:10:59Speaker 02

  Okay, all right, we'll open it before he gives.

• 1:11:02Speaker 00

  Quote of the week. Uh, this is quote of the week from Roquan Smith. He said, uh, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense can beat defenses with their run game or go bombs over Baghdad. Actually, it's not the quote of the week.

• 1:11:15Speaker 03

  Great song.

• 1:11:15Speaker 00

  It's a clarification of the week. Can you give us a sound for that?

• 1:11:20Speaker 00

  Great sound. This is a clarification of the week. So Roquan Smith said, we could beat defenses with their run game or go bombs over Baghdad. Then he later clarified, he was referencing military history, not outcast lore. Uh. So I don't know. Like, he was actually talking about literal bombs over Baghdad.

• 1:11:40Speaker 02

  That was a close one. Yeah.

• 1:11:41Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:11:41Speaker 02

  Somebody.

• 1:11:42Speaker 00

  For anyone who's getting confused.

• 1:11:43Speaker 02

  He could have been talking about Andre 3000 and not Colin Powell.

• 1:11:46Speaker 00

  Yes. So I, so not great song because he was talking about the actual.

• 1:11:50Speaker 03

  It is a great song.

• 1:11:50Speaker 00

  Yeah, but he was talking about the.

• 1:11:54Speaker 00

  There's your clarification of the week. I just loved it. He like, it was like, just so we're clear, guys, the very popular song that would make this lighthearted and very fun. We're not talking about that. We're talking about death and war.

• 1:12:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, I, I like this from a defensive player.

• 1:12:07Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:12:07Speaker 02

  Good clarification from a defensive player. If this came from a, a running back, uh, offensive lineman, wide receiver, I'd be like, that's kind of fucked up. What's going on? But the fact that he plays the position he plays, I think it, it's helpful that he meant war.

• 1:12:20Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, really, really helpful. Um, all right, before we get some more games. PFT, want to talk about King's Hawaiian real quick?

• 1:12:28Speaker 02

  I'd love to talk about.

• 1:12:29Speaker 00

  Our favorite?

• 1:12:30Speaker 02

  It's the best. What do you think is the toughest part of football season? It used to be figuring out what to eat on game day, but not this year, thanks to King's Hawaiian. It's the best slider in football. They have it all from original Hawaiian sweet to savory butter and pretzel sliders. You can literally make anything on them and you know it's going to be delicious. I personally love the original Hawaiian sweet. They make the best buffalo chicken sliders. And I make the best bacon cheeseburger sliders on their original slider rolls. You crush about a dozen every Sunday.

• 1:12:59Speaker 00

  Hank, they even have a salt, salty version just for you.

• 1:13:02Speaker 03

  Oh, awesome.

• 1:13:03Speaker 00

  You could make a ham and cheese slider on the pretzel slider buns. That sounds delicious. You're a salty guy. You'd love them.

• 1:13:09Speaker 03

  And I love ham. I go ham.

• 1:13:11Speaker 02

  Whenever you're craving, King's Hawaiian is the best slider in football for a reason. They elevate game day. They're sure to be a crowd pleaser. So before next game day, go pick up King's Hawaiian and make the best slider in football. And make it all season long.

• 1:13:27Speaker 00

  Okay, you guys ready to get back some more games? It's just so much fun talking ball. Just so excited reading like all this stuff and just getting excited about everything.

• 1:13:36Speaker 02

  It's, it's a lot and I'm so happy for it. I, I.

• 1:13:38Speaker 00

  I'm so happy for us.

• 1:13:39Speaker 02

  I can't wait for the.

• 1:13:40Speaker 00

  I love this for us.

• 1:13:41Speaker 02

  For that moment. And it's every year at 1220, when we're in the middle, we got all the games going and we're just going to be overwhelmed by football.

• 1:13:48Speaker 00

  We should take a pic. We, we should take a picture five minutes before and just say, I love this for us.

• 1:13:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:13:53Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:13:54Speaker 02

  I'm booked and busy this weekend.

• 1:13:55Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm. All right, Falcons at Steelers. Steelers minus three and a half. Over under is 42 and a half.

• 1:14:02Speaker 00

  Tua. Tua.

• 1:14:04Speaker 02

  There's some, uh, some new news coming out about Tua.

• 1:14:07Speaker 00

  I saw it was a Florio.

• 1:14:08Speaker 02

  It was a Florio.

• 1:14:09Speaker 00

  It was a Florio.

• 1:14:09Speaker 02

  On the eve of the season opener.

• 1:14:12Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:14:12Speaker 02

  Uh, Florio takes to the, uh, takes to the airwaves and puts out a report that if things don't go well for Tua, even as early as week one.

• 1:14:21Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:14:22Speaker 02

  He might get cut.

• 1:14:23Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:14:24Speaker 02

  That is not a good spot for Tua to start the season. That is under threat of his job before he takes a snap for the Falcons.

• 1:14:30Speaker 00

  No. So Tua is, it's. Actually, if you want to spin zone it, it's like, maybe this is a, maybe this is a good way. It's like almost a Mr. Beast challenge, like be good at quarterback or lose your job. It's kind of fun.

• 1:14:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:14:46Speaker 00

  You know, like, like actually lose your job, not just lose your job playing quarterback, lose your employment status with the Atlanta Falcons.

• 1:14:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:14:54Speaker 00

  It, it could be motivating. It could be motivating.

• 1:14:58Speaker 02

  It could be if, from what you know about Tua, do you think that it will be?

• 1:15:01Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:15:02Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:15:02Speaker 00

  No, no. Tua, Tua, uh. He said that he, the expectation that I put on myself is to go out there and score one more point than the other team. I feel like you could maybe do more than just one more point. Like, you know what I mean? Like that, I get it. One more point is the bare minimum, but.

• 1:15:19Speaker 04

  Shoot for the stars and if you miss, you.

• 1:15:23Speaker 02

  You'll be a moon?

• 1:15:24Speaker 04

  I think.

• 1:15:25Speaker 00

  Shoot for the moon.

• 1:15:26Speaker 02

  Well, you're kind of right.

• 1:15:26Speaker 00

  If you miss, you'll land in the stars. It never made sense because stars are so much farther away.

• 1:15:30Speaker 04

  I think that's what, what screwed me up.

• 1:15:32Speaker 02

  Yeah, you were actually right.

• 1:15:33Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:15:33Speaker 02

  In screwing that statement up.

• 1:15:34Speaker 04

  Right.

• 1:15:35Speaker 02

  Um, but to a shoot for, let's try, let's try scoring two more points.

• 1:15:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:15:40Speaker 02

  Than the Steelers.

• 1:15:41Speaker 00

  Right. That's what I'm saying.

• 1:15:42Speaker 02

  If you're wrong by 50%, guess what? You still win.

• 1:15:45Speaker 00

  Yeah. He also said that I don't have anything to prove to anyone on the outside. You actually do. You definitely have a lot to prove to all of us.

• 1:15:53Speaker 02

  Probably every other team, too.

• 1:15:55Speaker 00

  But then again, Tua, he got paid. He got paid and he had Tua on for a long time.

• 1:16:01Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:16:02Speaker 00

  I do think, uh, Kevin Stefanski from his quotes, I think we're going to see a lot of run game. I'm excited to see him unleash Bijon and, uh, it's going to be, I, like I said, I, I'm not high on the Falcons this year. I'm high on Kevin Stefanski as a coach. I'm high on the Falcons, like some of the talent they have going forward. It's just, I don't know what the quarterback situation is going to look like.

• 1:16:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, it, it kind of strikes me almost like their quarterback situation going into the season is what we found out about the Michigan quarterback situation after.

• 1:16:34Speaker 00

  Right.

• 1:16:34Speaker 02

  Week one.

• 1:16:35Speaker 00

  Right.

• 1:16:35Speaker 02

  Whereas Stefanski is like putting this out there and Tua has no idea. That his, his job might even be in jeopardy right now. Uh, I'm very excited to see what the Steelers office looks like.

• 1:16:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:16:44Speaker 02

  It's a very low bar for you to convince me that it's different from years past. All it takes is really just one play.

• 1:16:50Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:16:50Speaker 02

  If they have one play, like a deep cross across the middle and, uh, Aaron Rodgers hits DK in stride. I'll just think it's a completely new team and, and they might be an explosive offense this year.

• 1:17:01Speaker 00

  Yeah, I'd agree.

• 1:17:02Speaker 02

  Uh, it, now if it starts out, the first pass that he throws is a, like a dump off on third down to Jalen Warren.

• 1:17:09Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:17:09Speaker 02

  At that point, I'm just going to book it and say, this is the same Steelers that we've seen.

• 1:17:13Speaker 00

  Yeah, a, a, a dump off with, with six Falcons just waiting to tackle. Uh. It's, it's, that, that will bother me and I hope Jersey Jerry will agree with us when we say, hey, that's bad.

• 1:17:26Speaker 02

  Yeah, no, he'll be the first person to say it.

• 1:17:28Speaker 00

  I also think Aaron Rodgers, like some of his quotes, I think this actually might be the end. He said something like, uh. It was something about how it's, it's more than just, uh, football and winning games. Who's going to be there at your Hall of Fame ceremony? Who's going to carry your casket? The relationships?

• 1:17:46Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:17:46Speaker 00

  I don't know if that's a good or bad quote when you're going into a season. Kind of, he's like kind of sentimental about his football career before he plays the season.

• 1:17:55Speaker 02

  Who is he saying is going to carry his casket on the Steelers?

• 1:17:58Speaker 00

  I don't know. He said, yeah, well, I don't know if it's Steelers or somewhere else. Maybe it's Mike McCarthy. If you just get out, uh, out of this, the money and the accolades, you're missing the main point of this whole thing, football, and that's the relationship. Who's carrying your casket? Who's at your Hall of Fame speech?

• 1:18:13Speaker 02

  I mean, I would want Mike McCarthy to, to use my casket as a motivational tool, like smash a casket to get the boys pumped up with a sledgehammer before the game.

• 1:18:21Speaker 00

  Also, uh, can I, can I say right now I apply? I'll carry his casket.

• 1:18:27Speaker 02

  You would be the, uh, the guys from Uganda.

• 1:18:28Speaker 00

  I'll do it.

• 1:18:29Speaker 02

  Dancing with it.

• 1:18:29Speaker 00

  Nah, yeah, me and Rogers, we're, we're good now. It's, it's so, it feels like years ago that he was on the Packers, doesn't it?

• 1:18:36Speaker 02

  It does. It's been.

• 1:18:37Speaker 00

  It's like, it's a, it does feel like a long time, even though it's been only what, four or five years?

• 1:18:42Speaker 02

  But it's gonna feel more like it because he's back with McCarthy.

• 1:18:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:18:45Speaker 02

  Like seeing those two, like staring at each other. It, it is gonna be weird to see them like getting along.

• 1:18:50Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:18:50Speaker 02

  And collaborating on shit.

• 1:18:51Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:18:52Speaker 02

  Uh, yeah, it's gonna be, it's gonna be very interesting to see the Steelers offense. I'm excited about that. And then,

• 1:18:59Speaker 02

  also Mike Tomlin kinda got in on dunking on Tua too.

• 1:19:02Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:19:03Speaker 02

  So Mike Tomlin.

• 1:19:04Speaker 00

  Oh yeah, I saw that.

• 1:19:04Speaker 02

  Made a comment about like his ass might get fried.

• 1:19:07Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:19:07Speaker 02

  Uh, so things don't seem to be pointing in the right direction at quarterback for the Falcons, but I do think, I think they could surprise some people this year. I mean, Bijan is like, he's, he's the best.

• 1:19:18Speaker 00

  Surprise how?

• 1:19:19Speaker 02

  If, I think that they might win.

• 1:19:21Speaker 00

  Be worse than you thought?

• 1:19:22Speaker 02

  No, I think that.

• 1:19:23Speaker 00

  That'd be a funny surprise.

• 1:19:25Speaker 02

  If, and it's all about like if Pennix can get back.

• 1:19:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:19:29Speaker 02

  If they have somebody besides Tua playing quarterback, I could see them winning nine games.

• 1:19:32Speaker 00

  Cause that could be like, Tua could be worse than I expect. That would be a surprise.

• 1:19:37Speaker 02

  How would that be possible?

• 1:19:38Speaker 00

  Oh, he could definitely do it. What if he throws nine picks? That would be a surprise.

• 1:19:43Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:19:44Speaker 00

  A hilarious surprise.

• 1:19:45Speaker 02

  Shoot for the Grand Canyon. If you miss, you might wind up in a toilet.

• 1:19:50Speaker 00

  Oh man. All right. Uh, I liked, I liked the Steelers. This is, the Steelers Falcons is my sucker bet of the, of the week. Cause I just, I'm gonna bet the Steelers and it's, it's probably, oh, is it? Oh no. Falcons part of your hungry dog? Can you tell us who else on it?

• 1:20:08Speaker 03

  Uh, it's Falcons, Jets. Who's the third?

• 1:20:15Speaker 00

  Commanders?

• 1:20:16Speaker 03

  Fuck.

• 1:20:20Speaker 03

  Giants, New York.

• 1:20:21Speaker 00

  Wow. Oh, leaving your something for the end of the night. I like that.

• 1:20:24Speaker 03

  Everyone, everyone's, myself included, Cowboys, Cowboys, Cowboys. This is your, their year. I think the Giants, big cat, super high on the Giants.

• 1:20:33Speaker 00

  And the Cowboys.

• 1:20:34Speaker 03

  Me and super high.

• 1:20:35Speaker 00

  Depending on what week we're talking about.

• 1:20:37Speaker 03

  And I'm just a sucker for, for a shitty lefty.

• 1:20:41Speaker 00

  Yeah. Oh, for Tua.

• 1:20:42Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:20:42Speaker 00

  Yeah. Okay.

• 1:20:44Speaker 02

  Did you see her singing at the Grand Ole Opry the other day?

• 1:20:48Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:20:48Speaker 02

  Stella Lefty. Shitty lefty. Yeah.

• 1:20:50Speaker 03

  Oh, I like her. She's good.

• 1:20:52Speaker 02

  Oh, cool.

• 1:20:52Speaker 03

  She's not shitty.

• 1:20:53Speaker 00

  Industry plant.

• 1:20:56Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's true.

• 1:20:57Speaker 00

  I still don't really understand what industry plant means. It just.

• 1:21:00Speaker 03

  The music industry is literally like, the music industry is a garden.

• 1:21:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, everyone's a plant.

• 1:21:05Speaker 03

  Right.

• 1:21:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:21:06Speaker 00

  But also like, is it just that your dad was a billionaire?

• 1:21:08Speaker 02

  I found out more about it yesterday. So she got started, she became popular because she had 15 second snippets of her songs that went viral on TikTok all the time.

• 1:21:16Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:21:16Speaker 02

  And then after that, she made an album. I don't know if she had a full song before she had, or if she just wrote to like 15 seconds.

• 1:21:22Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:21:23Speaker 02

  Um, but so everyone paid attention to her 15 seconds on TikTok. And, uh, that is where the wealthy father could probably come in because you can get your daughter assigned to some sort of big representation deal that has connections that push your shit to the top of the TikTok algorithms. Hey, you might want to play this song.

• 1:21:41Speaker 04

  And by the way.

• 1:21:42Speaker 06

  I think her music is catchy.

• 1:21:43Speaker 00

  And well, yeah, the, the music, well, isn't it, isn't it just no con?

• 1:21:47Speaker 02

  Because yeah, she, she copies other hit songs.

• 1:21:49Speaker 03

  Which again, music industry is, that is literally the music industry.

• 1:21:52Speaker 02

  The Beatles have.

• 1:21:52Speaker 04

  I like it.

• 1:21:54Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:21:54Speaker 02

  You can like it.

• 1:21:55Speaker 00

  Just relax, dude. Forget it.

• 1:21:57Speaker 02

  Why don't you marry her, dude? It's been a while, it's been a while since she had a wedding.

• 1:22:00Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:22:00Speaker 04

  No more marriage. I'm, I'm done.

• 1:22:03Speaker 00

  Uh, I just.

• 1:22:04Speaker 04

  Oh, I'm still married.

• 1:22:05Speaker 00

  We should.

• 1:22:07Speaker 00

  We should say, dude, calling her dad wealthy is wrong. He's, he started Groupon. He's like.

• 1:22:14Speaker 02

  Billy.

• 1:22:14Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah. Wealthy would be, yeah, like, oh, he's, you know, got 20 million. He's got a nice little house in Lake Forest. No, no, he there, there. Stella Lefty, industry plant. Again, don't understand. If you like the music, you like the music. Who the fuck cares? But it is fun to just say industry plant without like, it's very loaded and I don't really know what it means.

• 1:22:33Speaker 02

  There's definitely, there's gotta be some NFL players that are industry plants.

• 1:22:36Speaker 00

  For sure.

• 1:22:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:22:37Speaker 03

  Well, there's definitely industry plants like in the broadcasting world.

• 1:22:42Speaker 02

  Go on.

• 1:22:45Speaker 03

  Collinsworth on Noah Eagle. Like that shit is, you know.

• 1:22:48Speaker 02

  I think there's a difference though between Nepo and industry plant. It can, they can be related. Like I think she's an industry plant because her dad had the money.

• 1:22:56Speaker 03

  Oh, that's true. Yeah. Yeah.

• 1:22:57Speaker 02

  Make her industry plant. Yeah.

• 1:22:59Speaker 00

  Yeah, like they boot, the money to boost her and, and basically buy her way to that.

• 1:23:05Speaker 02

  Ross Tucker, industry plant.

• 1:23:06Speaker 00

  She was, her dad wasn't in music.

• 1:23:09Speaker 03

  Right. Yeah, I'm, I'm miss, miss, misunderstood.

• 1:23:13Speaker 00

  Owen, industry plant.

• 1:23:15Speaker 03

  No, that's, I, I misunderstood Nepo for industry plant.

• 1:23:19Speaker 00

  Cream team. You come from a long line of cream teamers. Uh, okay. Bears.

• 1:23:24Speaker 02

  I did see, by the way, I did.

• 1:23:25Speaker 00

  Owen's the man, by the way. He's part, he's a, he's a silent, uh, uh, member of the cream team.

• 1:23:30Speaker 02

  I did see an accusation that Zach is industry plant the other day, which is a very funny. I, that's honestly a compliment to you, Zach. I'll take it. Zach, what is it about you?

• 1:23:40Speaker 00

  Yeah. What is it about you that you think that these things happen? Like, do you remember when we, I had to genuinely ask you, I was like, have you, have you been in prison? Cause there, there was like someone in our office was like, Zach might've been in prison.

• 1:23:51Speaker 04

  Well, that, that's, that was thrown because of the tattoo.

• 1:23:54Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:23:55Speaker 04

  It is a prison tattoo.

• 1:23:56Speaker 02

  No prison on body or prison time spent. I'm so far on the sidelines.

• 1:24:00Speaker 00

  But like industry plant, prison, like it's kinda funny that you get these things thrown at you.

• 1:24:04Speaker 02

  The Venn diagram doesn't make much sense to me, but you, you, you roll the punches?

• 1:24:08Speaker 03

  I gotta, I, well, I gotta tell that story. Cause I was telling it to someone else and it just makes me laugh. Cause Ron, one of my good friends and he, or he called, he talked to PFT and he called me and was like, dead, dead serious.

• 1:24:20Speaker 02

  Conversation with Hank, like, I don't, I don't think he's been in prison, but Ron thinks like definitely he might've been in prison. So like, should we?

• 1:24:29Speaker 03

  But Ron's also like a, a very sarcastic, like ballbuster. Like a lot of the conversations are like tongue in cheek and like, we're joking and it's like,

• 1:24:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:24:37Speaker 03

  I was like, surely he's not serious. He's like, no, dead serious. Like, we gotta check on HR because like, those are like gang prison tattoos. And I was like, you're joking, right? Like this is a joke.

• 1:24:49Speaker 02

  I could see Zach.

• 1:24:50Speaker 03

  He's like, no, I'm dead serious.

• 1:24:51Speaker 02

  I could see him playing a video game and then one of the guys in the video game is in prison, has that tattoo and Zach's like, I like that tattoo.

• 1:24:57Speaker 00

  Hey, we're taping part of my take right now. When you started the rumor that Zach was in prison because of his prison tattoo, were you being serious?

• 1:25:06Speaker 05

  Well, I just figured that he did time. I feel like with those,

• 1:25:10Speaker 05

  those specific markings have like a very significant, uh, gang suggestion. And I would check, have you guys ever seen his elbows? I would check his elbows for some kind of like spider web tattoo.

• 1:25:22Speaker 03

  Elbows are clean.

• 1:25:23Speaker 00

  Cause we, we were just randomly, we're doing the, we're doing a, a week one preview and we got on to the, the idea of industry plants. And Zach's being accused of being an industry plant. And then I brought up, I was like, remember the time when I had to ask you if you had been in prison? And, uh, yeah.

• 1:25:38Speaker 05

  It's, it's not the beginning of the departed when they like put him in prison for a little bit. So he has a good backstory.

• 1:25:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:25:45Speaker 05

  And, uh, check underneath his shoulders. If there's, if there's stars on the front of his shoulders, he is a Russian disinformation asset. Just check him, just keep, just keep an eye on it.

• 1:25:57Speaker 02

  Uh, Ron, I, I did notice that he has a teardrop, but I think the teardrop might be chocolate syrup.

• 1:26:04Speaker 05

  Is, is the chocolate syrup filled in?

• 1:26:06Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:26:07Speaker 05

  Maybe that just, that it, it's been a homie if he did something.

• 1:26:10Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:26:11Speaker 00

  Yeah. All right. Hey, Ron, uh, good to talk to you. Just maybe cook up in the next couple of weeks, just another wild tale of Zach and we'll get it going.

• 1:26:21Speaker 05

  Oh yeah, maybe. And maybe you won't even see it coming.

• 1:26:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:26:23Speaker 05

  Hopefully it gets implanted from, from the back end, uh, in the, in the episode.

• 1:26:27Speaker 00

  All right. See you. Bye.

• 1:26:29Speaker 03

  Why would I want to get industry planted into prison?

• 1:26:32Speaker 02

  That'd be a bad.

• 1:26:32Speaker 03

  It's like a worse place to get planted.

• 1:26:34Speaker 02

  No, that's what they did in, uh, in Blackbird.

• 1:26:37Speaker 06

  In the movie New Guy.

• 1:26:38Speaker 02

  Got the guy. Got the son of a bitch.

• 1:26:40Speaker 06

  Yeah. They sent him, he was a, a nerd in school. Then they sent him, he goes to prison, then he comes back, changes his hair, takes off his glasses. Cool guy.

• 1:26:51Speaker 02

  She's all that.

• 1:26:51Speaker 00

  I love the idea of Zach, like living out departed and he's, he basically, they had to send him to prison, then send him, I guess, what would it be? It would be.

• 1:27:01Speaker 00

  You maybe, maybe you're doing this to then take down another podcast?

• 1:27:06Speaker 02

  Oh, it's a long game.

• 1:27:07Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:27:07Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:27:08Speaker 00

  Yeah. Bad friends. Like if we started a fake rumor that you were going to date Rudy, bad friends.

• 1:27:14Speaker 02

  Or like the, uh, Rossello draft. I go over there and then take them out.

• 1:27:17Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Back to games.

• 1:27:19Speaker 02

  He would fuck you up.

• 1:27:21Speaker 00

  Bears minus three Panthers, uh, at the Panthers over under 46 and a half. How many times are they going to show the trade graphic?

• 1:27:28Speaker 02

  Yeah, a lot. I, I, twice. Once before the game, once during the game.

• 1:27:34Speaker 00

  If there's a blowout either way, they might show it as well.

• 1:27:36Speaker 02

  Yeah. So you got Caleb, Darnell Wright, DJ Moore, Luther Burden, Tyreek Stevenson, and Torrey Taylor. For Bryce Young, essentially. Who do you think won that trade?

• 1:27:46Speaker 00

  I, I want to say the Bears. I'm not gonna, I'm biased here. You guys can, you guys can say who you think won that trade.

• 1:27:51Speaker 02

  I'm going to wait till all the facts come out.

• 1:27:53Speaker 00

  Okay. That's fair. That's fair. Yeah. Darnell Wright just got a, a, a big contract extension. Luther Burden. I, I said this, I believe on Wednesday's show. This season is, uh, I'm going into it knowing that the defense is probably not going to be good unless there's an absolute miracle. So like the regression conversation, totally agree with it on the defensive side. I need the regression not to happen on the offensive side to be a success. So I need it to be progression on offense. Like there's a world where the Bears don't make the playoffs, but they're a top five offense and our defense is so bad that I can almost like, I would be very upset, but I could deal with it.

• 1:28:35Speaker 00

  The world that would be an abject failure of this season is if the defense is bad and the offense is also bad. That would be a problem, a step back.

• 1:28:43Speaker 02

  Now, how would you feel if we look back on this game and the defense gives up, uh, 400 yards?

• 1:28:50Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:28:50Speaker 02

  But, but you create three turnovers.

• 1:28:56Speaker 00

  If we give up 400 yards to the Panthers offense, we're going to be in a lot of trouble. I, both sides are going to look and be like, it's, it's actually a, it's, it's kind of a game within a game. It's almost like the Jets and the, the Titans game where the Panthers offense is looking at the Bears defense like, we gotta get them. And the Bears defense is looking at the Panthers offense and be like, we, if we can't stop them, what, what else? Like, what happens when we play some like explosive offenses?

• 1:29:23Speaker 02

  Yeah. I'm just, I'm wondering because that to me might be one of the more frustrating positions to be in where you're not sure if your defense is good or not. Or if you're just really lucky at creating turnovers.

• 1:29:33Speaker 00

  Well, I will say, I, I do think there is some, like this used to happen with Lovey Smith teams where it's like, oh, the, the turnovers, turnovers. Like there is a way to coach it. I do think Al Harris does do that. Like I think he's very, very good at coaching, playing on the ball and getting the ball and taking the ball away. I do expect, I don't, I, I'm not like going into this season being like, oh, the defense might be good. I think the defense, I'm going into the season being like, the defense is not good. Just how not good is it? If that makes sense.

• 1:30:02Speaker 02

  But this, I feel like you might be able to, if you get a lead in this game.

• 1:30:07Speaker 00

  Yeah, no.

• 1:30:07Speaker 02

  I think, I think the defense might look good.

• 1:30:09Speaker 00

  I think we're going to be a fun team in the fact that I, a lot of these games are going to have to probably be shootouts. Yeah. And so Caleb looking, taking that next step forward, Luther, uh, Roma Dunze, Colson Lovin, who I think is going to be an absolute superstar. That, these are the things that need to happen. And it starts with, with this one. You gotta do it. I mean, the, like, I, I don't think this is an easy game. Because the Panthers aren't as bad as they have been. And yeah, but I, like, we started with this whole entire conversation. I'm excited that this is the game we start with.

• 1:30:41Speaker 02

  That's perfect.

• 1:30:41Speaker 00

  Time, team, everything.

• 1:30:43Speaker 02

  So.

• 1:30:43Speaker 00

  It's not overlooking the Panthers. It's more just, I don't have to deal with any Panthers fans in my life.

• 1:30:48Speaker 02

  So, uh, David Tepper, he addressed the media for the first time in a very long time. He talked about expectations for the team and for, for his quarterback. He said, I'd like to see a string together, two winning seasons together for the first time in this franchise's history. So that's this year and next year.

• 1:31:04Speaker 00

  Wait, that's true.

• 1:31:05Speaker 02

  That's success.

• 1:31:07Speaker 00

  That can't be true. Is that true?

• 1:31:09Speaker 02

  It's, it sounded like something that's not true, but I thought back. The Cam Newton era, they got to the playoffs at least once with a losing record.

• 1:31:19Speaker 00

  They went 15 and one though. Did they fall off that bad the year after?

• 1:31:22Speaker 02

  I think they got to the playoffs with at least, it was 500 or maybe, maybe a losing record.

• 1:31:27Speaker 00

  Oh my God.

• 1:31:28Speaker 02

  Cause Ron Rivera, I think he's the first team to ever get two different teams to the playoff with losing records.

• 1:31:32Speaker 00

  Oh my God, it's true.

• 1:31:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:31:34Speaker 00

  The, the, the best they did was they had, uh, 2005 when they went to the conference, uh, NFC, uh, they went 11 and five. The next year they went eight and eight.

• 1:31:45Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:31:45Speaker 00

  That's, that's crazy. I never realized that.

• 1:31:49Speaker 02

  Pretty crazy, right?

• 1:31:50Speaker 00

  Holy shit.

• 1:31:50Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:31:51Speaker 00

  And they're, they're not even, yes, so they're not even doing it this year. They can't even complete it.

• 1:31:55Speaker 02

  They can't do it this year. So now that's, even though they went to the playoffs last year.

• 1:31:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:31:59Speaker 02

  They had, they have to do one winning season right now, and then another winning season next year. Then they'll have two in a row.

• 1:32:06Speaker 00

  Okay. So that's a high goal.

• 1:32:07Speaker 02

  High goal.

• 1:32:08Speaker 00

  Why didn't he just say, let's get a winning season, then we'll deal with next year?

• 1:32:10Speaker 02

  Because he wants to.

• 1:32:11Speaker 00

  Or just like.

• 1:32:12Speaker 02

  Shoot for the moon.

• 1:32:13Speaker 00

  So that, that is the confusing part because they went to the playoffs three years in a row.

• 1:32:18Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:32:19Speaker 00

  They went 12 and four, seven, eight and one.

• 1:32:22Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:32:22Speaker 00

  15 and one. That's basically two winning seasons in a row.

• 1:32:26Speaker 02

  It feels like more, honestly, it feels like, kind of like a dynasty at that point.

• 1:32:30Speaker 00

  Okay. Uh, next game, we're going to the Bills at Texans. This will be main TV. Bills minus one and a half Texans, uh, at the Texans, over under 44 and a half. Josh Allen, it feels like Houston is a house of horrors for him.

• 1:32:46Speaker 02

  He's never won in Houston.

• 1:32:47Speaker 00

  And we've also had some like bad moments. He, remember last year he got absolutely smushed? We, that was the game that we did the case race and people, Texans fans were very upset at us for that. Remember that?

• 1:32:56Speaker 02

  Yeah, we were hammered.

• 1:32:57Speaker 00

  We were so hammered. We gotta do a case race again. Uh, yeah. D'Amico Ryan's defense have given him problems. I don't, this is my, I don't know game. I have no idea. I, I, I kind of lean the Bills, but I have no idea. Like maybe this is just.

• 1:33:12Speaker 02

  We don't know what it's going to look like. We don't know what Brady's offense is necessarily going to look like in it. Excuse me, in its entirety with DJ Moore.

• 1:33:20Speaker 00

  Don't know what.

• 1:33:20Speaker 02

  I think it's going to be good.

• 1:33:21Speaker 00

  Jim Leonard's defense is going to look like, the aggressiveness, like they're not going to be as maybe vanilla as Sean McDermott had it.

• 1:33:26Speaker 02

  I think I would take the, uh, the Texans, just based on the fact that Josh Allen's been in hell when he's been in Houston. Oh, and three in Houston. He did beat the Texans in 2021, 40 to nothing at home. And I, I believe this is true stat. It's been 20 years since the Bills have won a game in Houston.

• 1:33:43Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 1:33:44Speaker 02

  Long time. Uh, I do like the Texans in this just because it feels a little bit disrespectful.

• 1:33:50Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:33:51Speaker 02

  That the, that the Bills will be favored on the road against a team that, that kind of beat the fuck out of them last year.

• 1:33:56Speaker 00

  Yeah. I don't really, I guess maybe people were just like, we don't know what to expect from CJ Stroud. Uh, you know, Jaden Higgins got hurt. So now it's just Nico Collins. What's the, what's the Montgomery? Like everyone knows what the Texans defense is going to be. They're, they're fucking awesome. There's dudes everywhere. They don't even have to. Like D'Amico Ryan's doesn't have to do exotic shit. He just can be like, our guys are better than your guys.

• 1:34:19Speaker 02

  Yeah. Will Anderson called it a, uh, AFC championship preview.

• 1:34:23Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:34:24Speaker 02

  All right. AFC championship type game, I think is what he said.

• 1:34:26Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:34:27Speaker 02

  I need to figure out what CJ Stroud's doing with his thumbs and his eyes before games.

• 1:34:30Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:34:30Speaker 02

  Is that a mental reset? Is that resetting the neurons? What is he, is that strictly just for eyes?

• 1:34:36Speaker 00

  I would like to know as well.

• 1:34:37Speaker 02

  Because whatever he's doing, I'm like, I see somebody doing that. It looks like they, they're on to something. I want to know what it is.

• 1:34:42Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. Did you guys see also Sean McDermott doing a couple? We gotta have Sean McDermott on again now that, uh, I think he's been doing a little bit of media. But he said that part of what he's been doing since he got fired by the Bills is, uh, talking to people that were in the building and being like, what, what is the stuff that I never, that I didn't know? What's the stuff that never got elevated to me? Which that has to suck.

• 1:35:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:35:06Speaker 00

  To just basically be like, what was everyone saying behind my back?

• 1:35:08Speaker 02

  That's the most.

• 1:35:09Speaker 00

  That's gotta suck.

• 1:35:10Speaker 02

  I think that's the most fired football coach move.

• 1:35:12Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:35:13Speaker 02

  I, I respect that.

• 1:35:14Speaker 00

  No, no, you have to do it. I'm not saying that it's not the right, it's the 100% right thing to do to get your blind spots, figure them out.

• 1:35:21Speaker 02

  He's doing 360 on himself.

• 1:35:22Speaker 00

  To, to have to like go back and, and have people be like, yeah, we thought this when you did this. That's gotta just, you're basically, that, that's torture. He's going to be better for it, but it's torture in the, in the moment.

• 1:35:34Speaker 02

  Now, if, if like, he hits you up and you're on the Bills, that's gotta be uncomfortable to be like, hey, here's honestly what people said about you.

• 1:35:41Speaker 00

  Right. That's what I'm saying.

• 1:35:43Speaker 02

  You think that people, you have to know somebody that would be honest and willing to share that stuff.

• 1:35:46Speaker 00

  That's what I'm saying. That's, that is, that has to be just not a fun.

• 1:35:49Speaker 02

  There's always those people that wanted, that want to feel like.

• 1:35:54Speaker 03

  They want to let you know though.

• 1:35:55Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:35:56Speaker 03

  Like this is my moment.

• 1:35:57Speaker 00

  We should actually have him on and tell him what he did wrong on our interviews with us.

• 1:36:02Speaker 02

  What we thought about him.

• 1:36:03Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:36:03Speaker 02

  How come you didn't bring up the nine 11 thing with us?

• 1:36:05Speaker 00

  Yeah. Why didn't you talk about that?

• 1:36:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, he's probably busy today, put together a PowerPoint or something.

• 1:36:10Speaker 00

  Do you think anyone said to him like, hey, man, the nine 11 thing was a little weird?

• 1:36:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

• 1:36:16Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:36:17Speaker 02

  Well.

• 1:36:18Speaker 00

  No, I'm saying.

• 1:36:19Speaker 02

  Maybe not. It didn't, it didn't come out until like years later.

• 1:36:22Speaker 00

  Right.

• 1:36:22Speaker 02

  Which would probably imply that it was somebody that was no longer in the building that, I don't know. It feels like maybe that should be your sign as a head coach. If you make a nine 11 comparison in a positive manner and nobody checks you in that moment, you're surrounded by yes men.

• 1:36:37Speaker 00

  Yeah. But also Hank, he kind of got the backlash for that. Do you think that like some, if you ask someone like, give me the honest truth, they're probably like, well, he already knows about the nine 11 thing. They're probably not going to say it again. Right?

• 1:36:53Speaker 03

  It gets thrown in there like, yeah, and the nine 11 thing.

• 1:36:56Speaker 00

  Oh, it's like a da, da, da, like, yeah. Oh yeah. And that whole like nine 11 thing, that was weird.

• 1:37:01Speaker 02

  Some people did some things is what you're saying. Yeah.

• 1:37:03Speaker 00

  Yeah. Okay. Before we get to afternoon slate, twisted tea. We love twisted tea. Football season is back. It's the moment we've all been waiting for. Football season is back in full swing, which means we'll be posted up with an ice cold tea. Until further notice, twisted tea is a refreshing hard iced tea made with real brewed tea. 5% alcohol in the twisted tea party pack has a little something for everyone. With original half and half raspberry and peach. It's got the refreshing taste with 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. And all football season long, whether you're tailgating at the stadium, crushing teas in your man cave or grilling out with your friends, twisted tea is there to turn your day up a notch and make a good time, a great time.

• 1:37:46Speaker 00

  We love the half and half, the original, grab a refreshing twisted tea today. Keep it twisted with twisted tea. Okay. Afternoon, boys. Dolphins Raiders.

• 1:37:58Speaker 00

  Raiders minus three, over under a 40 and a half. Clint Kubiak's already kind of pissing me off.

• 1:38:03Speaker 02

  In what way?

• 1:38:04Speaker 00

  Well, the whole Brock Bowers thing, that was crazy.

• 1:38:06Speaker 02

  That, that is weird. The report that came out yesterday being like he's Brock Bowers needs a little trim, a little trimmy of his meniscus.

• 1:38:14Speaker 00

  They treated.

• 1:38:14Speaker 02

  No big deal.

• 1:38:15Speaker 00

  They treated his knee like it was sideburns.

• 1:38:18Speaker 02

  I said it was a haircut. He described it like it's, it's not a big deal. Just needs to take a little off the top.

• 1:38:23Speaker 00

  Right. So yeah, Clint Kubiak did a press conference, said that, uh, everyone's ready to go. They asked specifically about Max Crosby and Brock Bowers. Like he's good to go. Hour later, oh yeah, actually he had a little minor surgery. He's not good to go.

• 1:38:37Speaker 00

  That pissed me off.

• 1:38:38Speaker 02

  It was just a little cleanup though. That's the thing. It's no big deal. Uh, and he should be back. He shouldn't miss more than like a few, maybe four.

• 1:38:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:38:45Speaker 02

  Maybe five weeks. Why is everybody freaking out?

• 1:38:47Speaker 00

  Why is everyone freaking out?

• 1:38:48Speaker 02

  It's not a big deal. Stop saying it's a big deal. It is kind of a dirty move to pull.

• 1:38:52Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:38:53Speaker 02

  I don't want to make like gambling seem like it's the end of the road, but the league. Yeah. Fantasy, the league does have a shitload of gambling sponsors and they're like, hey, sign up for this, sign up for that. And then they have an injury report that's supposed to be legit.

• 1:39:08Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:39:09Speaker 02

  And then it, it seems like this is certainly something they knew about.

• 1:39:12Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, did you guys know, uh, fun, fun little fact about the Miami Dolphins? They're the only team in recorded history, uh, to have more. They're paying players more that are not on the roster than players on the active roster.

• 1:39:29Speaker 02

  And it's mostly Tua.

• 1:39:31Speaker 00

  It's Tua, yeah. Tua, Tyree Kill. Uh, I think, I think there's some Minka Fitzpatrick in there.

• 1:39:38Speaker 02

  Mm hmm. What is Tua like 54 mil?

• 1:39:41Speaker 00

  Yeah. 54 mil. Uh, yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot. So. A hundred eighty-three million dollars going to dead cap players that are, uh, not on the active roster. A hundred four on the roster.

• 1:39:55Speaker 02

  What would you guess, uh, since 1999, these teams have played a bunch. They've played, uh, 16 times since 1999. What would you guess the record is between the two of them?

• 1:40:06Speaker 00

  16 times?

• 1:40:07Speaker 02

  They played 16 times.

• 1:40:10Speaker 00

  Since when?

• 1:40:11Speaker 02

  Since 1999.

• 1:40:13Speaker 00

  How could I make, how could I tell you the stat where both teams somehow have a losing record?

• 1:40:18Speaker 02

  Uh, it's, it's actually not. One team's been dominant.

• 1:40:20Speaker 00

  Oh, really?

• 1:40:21Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:40:21Speaker 00

  All right.

• 1:40:22Speaker 02

  I was surprised.

• 1:40:24Speaker 00

  Uh, the Dolphins.

• 1:40:26Speaker 02

  Dolphins fucking own them.

• 1:40:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:40:28Speaker 02

  13 and three against the Raiders since 1999.

• 1:40:31Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 1:40:31Speaker 02

  I'm going to, I'm going to guess that's probably their best record against any team in the NFL. In that time span.

• 1:40:37Speaker 00

  That's crazy.

• 1:40:38Speaker 02

  I do think, I know everyone's saying that the Dolphins, the roster is, uh, not looking good.

• 1:40:44Speaker 00

  Well, it's young.

• 1:40:45Speaker 02

  At all.

• 1:40:45Speaker 00

  They have, uh, in their secondary.

• 1:40:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:40:48Speaker 00

  Starting, they have a combined, uh, 17 NFL starts total and, and 11 of the 17 are, are from one guy, Juju Brentz.

• 1:40:56Speaker 02

  But I think, I think being young in this situation is actually not the worst thing. I think you're going to find some guys that can play and also they don't have any bad memories of all the dumb shit that that organization's done in the past.

• 1:41:07Speaker 00

  Yeah. I mean, it's better than just keep doing the same thing over and over and, and not getting anywhere.

• 1:41:12Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:41:13Speaker 00

  Yeah, I agree with that.

• 1:41:14Speaker 02

  And I, I don't know if it's just the, uh, the coaching that he had last year, but I'm kind of high on Malik Willis. Just over, certainly over where he was a couple of years ago.

• 1:41:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:41:21Speaker 02

  But like, I don't think he's a bad quarterback.

• 1:41:23Speaker 00

  No, no, I agree. Um, not having the same talent around him that he had on the Packers. We'll see what that looks like, but I agree. I mean, he was, he was dynamic when he came in for the pack.

• 1:41:33Speaker 02

  Yeah. So I, I don't know. I don't know what the, uh, the offense is going to look like in Miami. But if it, anything like the Packers offense, I think it's a good fit for him.

• 1:41:41Speaker 00

  Look, and if you want, if you want to know how far Malik Willis has come, remember two years ago when he played, I think he had to start like, what was like week two or three, and you're like, bet a bet against Malik Willis, no matter what. He's come this far.

• 1:41:52Speaker 02

  Yeah, true.

• 1:41:53Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:41:53Speaker 02

  He's won me over.

• 1:41:54Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, by the way, I missed the game in the early slate, which you're going to love Hank, that I missed the game. The Browns at the Jaguars.

• 1:42:02Speaker 02

  That's early. Okay.

• 1:42:03Speaker 00

  Yeah. So we could talk about that right now.

• 1:42:06Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:42:08Speaker 00

  Browns and Jaguars, Jaguars minus eight and a half, over under 39 and a half. Not to, not to toot my own horn, but in terms of predictions, looking good right away. My, uh, least improved player, Deshaun Watson got arrested for, or got stopped for speeding. He's somehow becoming a worse person. So that's a pretty good start.

• 1:42:29Speaker 02

  That's son of a bitch.

• 1:42:30Speaker 04

  I think he was going like 20, 20 mile. It wasn't that bad.

• 1:42:33Speaker 00

  It was 86 and a 60.

• 1:42:34Speaker 02

  He was going.

• 1:42:35Speaker 04

  You've definitely gone 80. You may have gone 86 and a 60 today.

• 1:42:39Speaker 00

  Okay. So Max is Deshaun Watson defender.

• 1:42:41Speaker 02

  Yeah. Wow.

• 1:42:42Speaker 00

  Got it. Wow.

• 1:42:43Speaker 04

  Eighty-six and a 60 is not that bad.

• 1:42:45Speaker 02

  I haven't seen you this fired up about it.

• 1:42:47Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:42:47Speaker 04

  Well, you were just trying to do victory laps on Twitter.

• 1:42:49Speaker 00

  No, no, no.

• 1:42:50Speaker 04

  And then I saw it and I was like, this is nothing.

• 1:42:52Speaker 00

  Through two, like least improved player. And, and that's a hard thing to do because he's really, really bad in a bad person.

• 1:43:00Speaker 03

  A big improvement from Rub and Tugs.

• 1:43:02Speaker 00

  No, no.

• 1:43:02Speaker 04

  That's great point.

• 1:43:04Speaker 00

  Who's saying he's, he stopped doing that?

• 1:43:07Speaker 02

  I don't think that this is behave, this, he was not leaving a rub and tug. You're not driving 20 miles an hour.

• 1:43:12Speaker 00

  You know, he's going to.

• 1:43:13Speaker 04

  He's stressed.

• 1:43:14Speaker 00

  You know, he's going to.

• 1:43:15Speaker 02

  What if he, what if he's going to practice and can't wait to get there?

• 1:43:18Speaker 00

  I'm just saying he, he could end up beat like, if he just starts picking up.

• 1:43:22Speaker 03

  It's an improvement from Miles Garrett.

• 1:43:24Speaker 00

  Tickets left and right. He's just a worse person.

• 1:43:26Speaker 02

  Miles Garrett is a, he's a fast driver, but again, I think that goes back to, I, I don't, you should never drive over the speed limit. I think having a, a defensive lineman going fast is one thing. Having the quarterback going fast, that's another.

• 1:43:37Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 1:43:38Speaker 02

  You gotta take that position by position.

• 1:43:40Speaker 00

  One 86 and a 60, uh, it was school zone.

• 1:43:44Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:43:47Speaker 02

  What is that LeBron school that doesn't exist?

• 1:43:51Speaker 00

  It's a school right next to the highway. You guys.

• 1:43:52Speaker 04

  I just remember I saw your tweet. I was like, holy shit. What did Deshaun Watson do? And then the more I read it, I was like, there's gotta be more.

• 1:43:57Speaker 00

  I'm not saying it's crazy. I'm just saying that he like 24 hours later, he's just adding another thing. Not a good guy, maybe. Started to think he might not be a good guy.

• 1:44:09Speaker 03

  So you're saying if you go 86 and a 60, you're a bad guy?

• 1:44:12Speaker 00

  I didn't say that. I said, I'm starting to think he's not a good guy.

• 1:44:15Speaker 02

  It is reckless driving.

• 1:44:16Speaker 00

  They say he was a bad guy.

• 1:44:19Speaker 00

  I mean, he is a bad guy.

• 1:44:20Speaker 04

  I'm going to start keeping track of all driving infractions.

• 1:44:23Speaker 00

  Okay. I did, he is a bad guy.

• 1:44:25Speaker 04

  Bad guy. This isn't a good example of that.

• 1:44:27Speaker 00

  No, but it's when you have the other stuff, you add it on.

• 1:44:33Speaker 00

  Regular citizen going 86 and 60.

• 1:44:35Speaker 02

  It's like, it's like this is the final straw.

• 1:44:37Speaker 00

  Yeah, right. In a school zone. I got kids, dude.

• 1:44:41Speaker 02

  I put up with a lot, Deshaun.

• 1:44:43Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:44:44Speaker 02

  And you know, the small stuff adds up too.

• 1:44:46Speaker 00

  Correct. Correct. Uh, I think the Jaguars are not getting any respect or talked about a lot. I think they're going to be really good this year. They could win the South. I think Trevor Lawrence is just going to like, it's going to keep going forward. Also, if you saw, if you're a conspiracy theorist, the Superbowl graphic, Trevor Lawrence was closest to the Superbowl.

• 1:45:03Speaker 02

  To the color of the, the, the green type thing. Yeah. This is, so, uh, these two teams, you might not remember too much about the Jaguars and the Browns playing against each other, but that is the bottle gate game.

• 1:45:14Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:45:14Speaker 02

  From 2001, it was the Jaguars, they won 15 to 10. And, uh, every Browns fan threw thousands of plastic bottles onto the field. And that's why.

• 1:45:24Speaker 03

  Scumbags.

• 1:45:25Speaker 02

  That's why I had, uh, at NFL games, we're not allowed to have the bottle caps on our bottles anymore.

• 1:45:31Speaker 04

  Hank just did it again. Hank just did it again. What was that look?

• 1:45:33Speaker 00

  He stared at you?

• 1:45:35Speaker 03

  I looked over. You were talking.

• 1:45:38Speaker 04

  What do you mean I was talking? I was not talking. You just like, in the middle of when they were saying, you just looked over so slowly and gave me the most menacing look. Why did you do that?

• 1:45:48Speaker 02

  We have to get.

• 1:45:49Speaker 03

  Menacing.

• 1:45:49Speaker 00

  I laughed so hard watching that clip again where Max is like, I'm not going to fucking back down.

• 1:45:54Speaker 02

  We gotta get the divider. You guys aren't allowed to look at each other during the show.

• 1:45:58Speaker 04

  I just don't know why.

• 1:45:58Speaker 00

  We need to put a cone on, on Hank.

• 1:46:00Speaker 02

  It's bad. Yeah.

• 1:46:01Speaker 00

  Why did you do that, Hank?

• 1:46:04Speaker 00

  Show me the, look.

• 1:46:05Speaker 02

  What was it about the, the bottle story that told you this is a good time?

• 1:46:11Speaker 03

  This is crazy that I have to do like the, like Max's, Max is just not locked in. Cause, and you were talking, you were saying something when I looked over.

• 1:46:19Speaker 04

  Me was talking about going a hundred.

• 1:46:21Speaker 03

  Going a hundred?

• 1:46:22Speaker 04

  He'd like miles an hour. I like to go fast.

• 1:46:27Speaker 03

  Sometimes PFT says something that that make me laugh and I look over to see if I'm like minded. And PFT was like, oh, I remember the bottle gate game from 2001. And I was like, well, we're not 100 years old. So I looked over to see if Max was thinking the same thing. And then he was like, you gave me the meanest look of all time. It's like,

• 1:46:44Speaker 04

  All right, no, that's

• 1:46:45Speaker 02

  You guys gotta lock in.

• 1:46:46Speaker 04

  We gotta lock in. We gotta lock.

• 1:46:47Speaker 02

  The bottle gate game is actually, it's, it's a big moment.

• 1:46:49Speaker 04

  No, I know nothing about a bottle.

• 1:46:51Speaker 02

  It's in American history.

• 1:46:52Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:46:52Speaker 02

  Because Max, you're not allowed to have bottle.

• 1:46:54Speaker 03

  Just the way you said it was funny where you're like, oh, I remember.

• 1:46:57Speaker 02

  Yeah. You've always wondered how come they won't give me the tops on my fucking bottle when I get at the concept.

• 1:47:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, scumbag Cleveland pieces of shit.

• 1:47:03Speaker 02

  Of a Browns Jaguars game from 25 years ago. That's why.

• 1:47:08Speaker 04

  I'm yeah, yeah, no, you're right. That's on me. Lock in.

• 1:47:10Speaker 02

  But also lock in, lock in. If this, if that happened in Philly, they would have built statues of the people throwing the bottles. That's, that's where Max's at. Yeah.

• 1:47:18Speaker 04

  That makes no sense. Continue.

• 1:47:21Speaker 00

  They would have been throwing them at kids.

• 1:47:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, or Santa.

• 1:47:25Speaker 04

  That would have made more sense.

• 1:47:26Speaker 00

  Throwing them at kids?

• 1:47:27Speaker 04

  No, of PFT saying, oh, if you know, Philly, it would have been, but to make statues.

• 1:47:33Speaker 00

  Well, you didn't say anything.

• 1:47:35Speaker 02

  I said, if that happened in Philly, they would have, they would have applauded it. Like, hey, look at us. We made the rule that you're not allowed to have a bottle top.

• 1:47:41Speaker 00

  That I'm going to side with Max. That's very wrong, PFT, because they only make statues of fictional characters.

• 1:47:46Speaker 02

  That's true. Yeah. So this actually happened.

• 1:47:47Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:47:48Speaker 04

  It's a metaphor.

• 1:47:49Speaker 02

  So if this happened in draft day, the movie, and then they make a statue of all the fans throwing bottles.

• 1:47:55Speaker 00

  This is rivalry week between you two. It's gotta, gotta amp it up.

• 1:47:59Speaker 02

  Grudge match.

• 1:47:59Speaker 00

  Gotta amp it up.

• 1:48:00Speaker 04

  It's too early for this. It's too early for rivalry.

• 1:48:03Speaker 00

  Bet you wish you were playing the Panthers at noon.

• 1:48:05Speaker 02

  Max is gonna stay nice and calm on Sunday.

• 1:48:07Speaker 04

  Be playing.

• 1:48:07Speaker 02

  I can't wait to see how calm you are on Sunday.

• 1:48:09Speaker 04

  I'm not gonna be calm. I never said I was gonna be calm.

• 1:48:12Speaker 02

  I'm gonna be calm.

• 1:48:13Speaker 00

  Okay, back to the afternoon. Sorry for that brief Jaguars Browns. Got a, got a little heated there. Packers at Vikings. Vikings minus one and a half over under is 46 and a half.

• 1:48:25Speaker 00

  What do you guys think? Kyler Murray? Do we think he's going to be, this is it for Kyler, right?

• 1:48:29Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:48:30Speaker 00

  Like, he's gotta be good.

• 1:48:31Speaker 02

  I mean, to, to unpack the analogy a little bit more, some people are, are foster parents for dogs. Some people are, are adoptive forever homes for dogs. And I think that the Viking, I think KOC is good at taking dogs, rehoming them, might have grown up in a bad environment, quarterbacks that might have had a bad experience, teaching them, hey, this is how you go to the bathroom in the house. This is how we eat calmly. This is where we sleep at night in our crate. This is how we walk on a leash, teaches them how to be good quarterbacks. So the next place that they go, they're awesome.

• 1:49:01Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:49:01Speaker 02

  I don't know that he's great at selecting his own purebred quarterback, like he did with JJ. I think that this is a great spot. It, it, it's a, it's a perfect spot for Kyler Murray. I don't know that it's a perfect spot for the Vikings to be in.

• 1:49:16Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:49:16Speaker 02

  Um, but I think that he's going to get the absolute best out of Kyler Murray that he possibly can at this point, which I think should be good enough to be a pretty good team this year.

• 1:49:24Speaker 00

  Yeah. I mean, listen, you also like, there's two parts of the game or two sides of the ball, like Brian Flores against the Packers offensive line that is maybe going to be the weaker part of their team. That will be interesting. Who's going to step up and be the Packers, like best receiver? It's gonna be Matthew Golden. It's gonna be Christian Watson. I don't know. Josh Jacobs isn't playing. So this might be the good time to get him, you know, like this might be the time Tucker Kraft is, is, is back. Michael Parsons is not going to be back for another four weeks. Like this is the time, if you're Kyler Murray and this Vikings team to play the Packers.

• 1:49:57Speaker 02

  Harrison Smith back.

• 1:49:58Speaker 00

  Harrison Smith back, year 15?

• 1:50:00Speaker 02

  Yeah. He, he just decided, I think that it was a plan all along. He's like, I don't want to do training camp and preseason.

• 1:50:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:50:06Speaker 02

  I'll just come back.

• 1:50:07Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:50:07Speaker 02

  He's probably earned that at this point.

• 1:50:10Speaker 00

  Hmm. Okay. What do we got? Anything else in this game? Overs 21 and four for the Packers when played, uh, as, I don't like that stat. Cancel that stat. Matt LaFleur, 17 and four against the spread first three games of the season. That's a good stat.

• 1:50:25Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 1:50:25Speaker 00

  Comes out strong. This will be a good game.

• 1:50:28Speaker 02

  Very good game.

• 1:50:29Speaker 00

  Yeah. And Kyler's gonna look so small.

• 1:50:32Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:50:33Speaker 00

  The tiny, tiny, tiny Kyler.

• 1:50:35Speaker 02

  I went back to how he reacted when we first saw Kirk Cousins.

• 1:50:38Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:50:38Speaker 02

  In the Vikings uniform. We thought he looked small.

• 1:50:40Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 1:50:41Speaker 02

  In the Vikings uniforms. Kyler is gonna look itty bitty. He's gonna look so cute.

• 1:50:45Speaker 00

  He's gonna look so cute.

• 1:50:46Speaker 02

  I would love to see Kyler wearing a guardian cap, big purple helmet, tiny little purple uniform. It'd be adorable.

• 1:50:53Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:50:53Speaker 02

  What do you think, Hank?

• 1:50:55Speaker 03

  I think it'll be, I think it'll be cute. I think he's gonna be good.

• 1:50:59Speaker 00

  I think he's gonna be goodish.

• 1:51:02Speaker 03

  I think.

• 1:51:02Speaker 00

  Which could be good enough.

• 1:51:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at.

• 1:51:07Speaker 00

  Goodish could be good enough for, for this Vikings team.

• 1:51:11Speaker 02

  Is there any, um, when GTA comes out though, this, that's when you, that's when you flip on the Vikings.

• 1:51:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:51:18Speaker 02

  I feel like Kyler's gonna be.

• 1:51:19Speaker 00

  Well, it's never coming out.

• 1:51:21Speaker 02

  Is he a GTA guy? He's gotta be, right? Like a gamer of his, his level. No matter what he, he likes to play, he has to.

• 1:51:27Speaker 03

  Everyone's a GTA guy.

• 1:51:28Speaker 02

  Give yourself two weeks for GTA.

• 1:51:29Speaker 00

  Unless you like playing video games that are out.

• 1:51:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, but everyone, everyone that, yeah. Everyone played GTA in their life.

• 1:51:38Speaker 00

  When's it coming out?

• 1:51:40Speaker 03

  I think I post, pushed again.

• 1:51:41Speaker 02

  Yeah, they pushed it again.

• 1:51:42Speaker 00

  Again?

• 1:51:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, they had some.

• 1:51:43Speaker 00

  Wait, was that a recent push?

• 1:51:44Speaker 02

  Recent push.

• 1:51:45Speaker 00

  How recent?

• 1:51:46Speaker 02

  They got guys who used to work on the dev team coming out and being like, hey, it's not coming out when you think it is. They also had a guy like holding the game for ransom. Did you hear, hear about that?

• 1:51:53Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:51:53Speaker 02

  That was kind of wild.

• 1:51:54Speaker 00

  Do you think there is anyone on, is, is it a situation where we're getting close enough that there could be a kid who's like parent worked on the, on, on it? And now the kid is like old enough to work on it?

• 1:52:07Speaker 02

  It's like.

• 1:52:07Speaker 00

  How long has it been?

• 1:52:09Speaker 03

  Uh, GT five. It's been more than, more than like a decade.

• 1:52:15Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:52:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, so maybe.

• 1:52:16Speaker 00

  So yeah, we're getting kind of close.

• 1:52:18Speaker 03

  And there's like no incentive for them to really even drop because every year is GTA's highest grossing year.

• 1:52:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:52:24Speaker 03

  Since launch.

• 1:52:25Speaker 00

  Which is crazy.

• 1:52:26Speaker 04

  Unreal.

• 1:52:27Speaker 02

  But yeah, I feel like whenever that comes out, pencil Kyler in for a, for a down week.

• 1:52:31Speaker 00

  Yeah, I'd agree. Okay, before we get to Commander's Eagles, we've got a special delivery from Kings Hawaiian chef Greg here.

• 1:52:39Speaker 02

  Here we go.

• 1:52:40Speaker 00

  Greg, thank you. What do you got for us here? Talking to the mic and tell me, you're talking to Hank's mic. Yeah, Hank's mic. I'll take this.

• 1:52:47Speaker 06

  So what I just handed you is, uh, our take on a Chicago Italian beef, number 34.

• 1:52:52Speaker 00

  Love it.

• 1:52:53Speaker 06

  A little bit of sweet Italian for Walters, Sweetness Peyton. And then.

• 1:52:57Speaker 02

  Love that.

• 1:52:58Speaker 06

  For the commanders.

• 1:52:59Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:52:59Speaker 06

  Hog slider. You got five pork deli meats.

• 1:53:02Speaker 02

  Ooh.

• 1:53:03Speaker 06

  For the lineman that did Joe Gibbs proud.

• 1:53:05Speaker 00

  Loving it. A lot of, thank you, Chef Greg.

• 1:53:07Speaker 02

  He said five different pork deli meats, uh, for the hogs. We're eating major tutty today.

• 1:53:12Speaker 03

  And I got a lobster, I got, I got lobster rolls.

• 1:53:14Speaker 00

  You got lobster rolls? These are incredible. So Kings Hawaiian is making the claim that they are the best slider in football, but Eli isn't buying it. In fact, he's settling, uh, setting out on a full blown mission to prove that he is the real best slider in the sport. No matter how hard he tries, Eli can't outrun the undeniable truth. Kings Hawaiian will always be the best slider in football, whether it's at the stadium, the tailgate, or at home. No football watching experience is complete without Kings Hawaiian sliders. Chef Greg hooked us up here. Kings Hawaiian sliders are undefeated on game day. For more information about Kings Hawaiian products and details on where to purchase them, visit www.kingshawaiian.com. These are incredible.

• 1:53:58Speaker 03

  This is the best lobster roll I've ever had.

• 1:54:00Speaker 00

  Did it again, Chef Greg.

• 1:54:01Speaker 02

  This is really good.

• 1:54:02Speaker 04

  I got roast pork sliders back here with broccoli, broccoli rob and some sharp provolone. Really good.

• 1:54:08Speaker 02

  This is absolutely delicious.

• 1:54:09Speaker 00

  Beef is so good.

• 1:54:10Speaker 02

  I love any, any deli sandwich that's got all the Italian meats on it that says all of them. And nice little hibiscus flowers on the side here.

• 1:54:17Speaker 00

  You know what this is?

• 1:54:17Speaker 04

  This is so good.

• 1:54:19Speaker 00

  You thinking what I'm thinking?

• 1:54:22Speaker 00

  This is out of bounds.

• 1:54:23Speaker 02

  It's out of bounds.

• 1:54:24Speaker 00

  Out of bounds.

• 1:54:25Speaker 03

  I know Italian that would love yours, PFT.

• 1:54:27Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:54:28Speaker 02

  Who?

• 1:54:29Speaker 03

  It relates to this game.

• 1:54:31Speaker 00

  Yeah. Big dog.

• 1:54:32Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 1:54:33Speaker 00

  Mm hmm. All right. Well, thank you to Kings Hawaiian, uh, incredible sponsor. We're going to be doing more stuff with them all football season. Go get them today. They're the best, the absolute best. And, uh, get some sliders. Chef Greg makes us some incredible sliders. Okay. Game of the week, commanders versus Eagles, boys. How are you feeling? Are you feeling good?

• 1:54:56Speaker 02

  I'm feeling great about it. I can't wait to watch my favorite team play football on Sunday. Uh, commanders fans are gonna take over the hard rock in Philadelphia again. We got to.

• 1:55:04Speaker 00

  Hell, yes.

• 1:55:05Speaker 02

  You gotta, you gotta storm in and take that shit over.

• 1:55:07Speaker 04

  Last time.

• 1:55:07Speaker 02

  You gotta take it. Well, there were some fumbles.

• 1:55:09Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah. There was a fumble that changed everything.

• 1:55:11Speaker 02

  Three fumbles. Take over the hard rock and then stop fumbling. That's my, those are my two big keys to the game.

• 1:55:18Speaker 00

  What, what are, all right. So I'll start with you, PFT. What are you expecting in terms of this game? Like, if you don't win, what are you looking for?

• 1:55:27Speaker 02

  I'm looking for everybody to be healthy and I'm looking for it to be a competitive game.

• 1:55:31Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:55:32Speaker 02

  That's what I'm looking for. Uh, really, it's, we don't know what to expect out of either offense because we don't, Mannion and Blau.

• 1:55:38Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:55:39Speaker 02

  It's like who's, we, we can expect these guys to be going head to head for the next 20, 30 years. And, uh, this is just going to kind of set the tone for it.

• 1:55:46Speaker 00

  Yeah, I agree. Max, you?

• 1:55:50Speaker 04

  Um, I'm gonna say right now, I'm not gonna overreact to anything on Sunday, but I will overreact big time if they lose this game, especially if the offense looks bad.

• 1:56:00Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:56:00Speaker 04

  If the, if they lose and like, the defense doesn't look great.

• 1:56:06Speaker 04

  And the offense looks really good. I, I would be better with that loss because it's like, okay. I think the defense, like there's enough talent on the defense. Vic Fangio has been, has, has earned our trust. Like they'll figure it out. If the offense comes out and looks at, looks like it did against, you know, maybe the Bears game last year, that'll be a huge red flag and I will be overreacting.

• 1:56:30Speaker 00

  Okay. What do you think? Is there any, uh, distraction in this game, uh, because of that rat snitch Emmanuel Acho? Who again, we, the Giants are the team.

• 1:56:39Speaker 02

  I thought we were going to do the Giants preview later.

• 1:56:41Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's true. And he.

• 1:56:44Speaker 04

  No, we're focused on.

• 1:56:46Speaker 00

  The NFL is investigating Big Dom.

• 1:56:47Speaker 04

  Emmanuel Acho is, is an absolute loser who goes to the teacher at the end of class and be like, hey, you didn't give us any homework. Like, sorry, he, I mean, allegedly, if this is all true, he's probably lying anyway. And it's probably not even Big Dom, but why would you be mad about a guy who helped you out?

• 1:57:04Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:57:05Speaker 04

  It makes no fucking sense. Why would you rat out a guy who helped you out?

• 1:57:09Speaker 02

  Max, I'm going to just give you.

• 1:57:10Speaker 04

  Allegedly, if that's true.

• 1:57:11Speaker 02

  I'm going to give you some advice. Uh, the line from you should just be, he's a liar.

• 1:57:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:57:15Speaker 02

  He's a liar.

• 1:57:16Speaker 04

  And he's a liar.

• 1:57:17Speaker 02

  Because he is a liar.

• 1:57:18Speaker 00

  There you go.

• 1:57:18Speaker 04

  And it's also a fucking fender bender. Like who gives.

• 1:57:21Speaker 02

  See, now you're, you keep talking.

• 1:57:22Speaker 04

  It's a liar.

• 1:57:22Speaker 02

  As your attorney, if I was your lawyer, I'd punch you in the face right now.

• 1:57:26Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:57:26Speaker 02

  Just shut up.

• 1:57:27Speaker 00

  I'd put you in a Hannibal Lecter mask.

• 1:57:28Speaker 02

  His lawyer. Shut the fuck up Friday.

• 1:57:31Speaker 04

  Shut the fuck up Friday. And he's a liar.

• 1:57:34Speaker 03

  My client. Fender bender is not the issue.

• 1:57:36Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 1:57:36Speaker 02

  What's the issue?

• 1:57:37Speaker 00

  What's the issue, Hank?

• 1:57:39Speaker 03

  Falsifying police reports.

• 1:57:40Speaker 00

  Sounds like you're siding with Emmanuel Acho.

• 1:57:42Speaker 04

  Yeah. Sounds like you're a loser.

• 1:57:44Speaker 00

  Are you a loser, Hank?

• 1:57:46Speaker 03

  No, I believe, I believe, I believe Emmanuel Acho is a liar. I'm just pointing out like Max saying it's a fender bender. Who cares? If it were true, which I don't think it is, I think Big Dom's a stand-up guy.

• 1:57:57Speaker 02

  Also, I don't think Emmanuel Acho was ever good enough for team security to step in and falsify a police report for. You, if you have that position, you save that for people that actually contribute to winning.

• 1:58:09Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:58:11Speaker 04

  Emmanuel Acho, he just wants his, he's the worst. He just wants people to start, keep talking about fucking Emmanuel Acho.

• 1:58:17Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:58:17Speaker 02

  And we're not going to talk at all about fucking Emmanuel Acho in this.

• 1:58:20Speaker 00

  Never.

• 1:58:22Speaker 04

  Yeah. And it never even happened.

• 1:58:23Speaker 00

  Right. And he's a liar.

• 1:58:25Speaker 04

  And he's a liar.

• 1:58:26Speaker 00

  And if it did happen, it's a fender bender.

• 1:58:30Speaker 04

  No, it didn't even happen. I don't even know why I entertained the idea if it did happen, but didn't happen.

• 1:58:36Speaker 02

  Okay. So realistically, uh, I am looking for the offense to look good. Um, I think that it might look really good. I think Jaden Daniels, he's as healthy as he's been since the start of last season. And he did have a few good games last year when he was healthy. Um, I think that he's going to remind a lot of people who he is. That's what I think. I think the bad man might be back. I think that, uh, he probably doesn't even have the internet. So I don't know that he's even experienced what the last couple of weeks have been like with people making fun of the number five. He seems like a guy that just doesn't go online.

• 1:59:07Speaker 00

  You think his mom says no screens in the house?

• 1:59:08Speaker 02

  I think she has the internet for him.

• 1:59:10Speaker 00

  That's pretty good.

• 1:59:11Speaker 02

  I think, I think that, uh, I think that he tries to log on and she's on the phone.

• 1:59:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:59:16Speaker 02

  And she, and she's like, sorry, Jayden, you can't log on. I'm talking.

• 1:59:19Speaker 04

  What's the deal with the offensive line? How's that situation looking?

• 1:59:21Speaker 02

  Uh, great question, Max. Thanks for asking that question. It's a fine offensive line. This, all this shit, I got so triggered yesterday.

• 1:59:28Speaker 00

  It's a fine offensive line.

• 1:59:30Speaker 02

  These motherfuckers at NFL.com, and you're not supposed to get upset about, about power rankings. I got very upset about power rankings. They had the fucking commanders second to last in the NFL because of one tweet about one bad practice that Hank amplified on a national sports podcast. It was one bad practice and Hank, I told you at the time and, and you didn't clarify your report. It was just about all back.

• 1:59:56Speaker 00

  This is your fault, Hank.

• 1:59:57Speaker 02

  No, you reported on the podcast. Therefore it becomes your report.

• 2:00:01Speaker 03

  I read the tweet as was written.

• 2:00:04Speaker 02

  Minus context.

• 2:00:06Speaker 03

  I read the tweet as was written.

• 2:00:07Speaker 02

  You omitted the context that it was a backup offensive line featuring even some third stringers.

• 2:00:12Speaker 03

  That should have been said in the tweet and I would have read that.

• 2:00:15Speaker 02

  I, I tried to inform you the context. Hank declined to apply the context.

• 2:00:19Speaker 03

  The context was there. So the people writing this report heard the context.

• 2:00:23Speaker 02

  But Hank, you know how many Hank stands there are out there? They only listen to what you say.

• 2:00:26Speaker 00

  Yeah. Hank, you did this.

• 2:00:28Speaker 03

  So you're saying the people at NFL.com heard the report only on this podcast?

• 2:00:32Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 2:00:32Speaker 03

  And ignored the context that you provided?

• 2:00:34Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 2:00:35Speaker 03

  And it's my fault for reading a tweet as written?

• 2:00:39Speaker 02

  Yes, you are the media. You have a bigger responsibility than that. Like there's a lot of people out there that listen to this.

• 2:00:44Speaker 03

  I'm not a journalist.

• 2:00:45Speaker 02

  Well, I think some people would disagree with that.

• 2:00:49Speaker 03

  Who?

• 2:00:49Speaker 02

  Uh, the people at NFL.com that use you as a source.

• 2:00:52Speaker 00

  You seem like a journalist.

• 2:00:53Speaker 02

  The entire explanation for ranking them 31st was because of a bad practice.

• 2:00:57Speaker 00

  Yeah. And that you spread.

• 2:00:59Speaker 02

  That Hank spread, that then was followed up by a bad preseason game. Not even talking about a regular, we're talking about a preseason game. In that game, 40 of the best players didn't even play. And that's the reason why the commanders are the second worst team in the NFL. I think that they're, they're going to surprise some people. I think the offense is going to be back and really, really good. I think that the defense might confuse some people because we've got a new defensive coordinator. That seems like the new exotic a king. You're going to have, here's my prediction.

• 2:01:29Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:01:30Speaker 02

  You're going to have guys coming from directions that you didn't think guys could come from.

• 2:01:33Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 2:01:34Speaker 02

  Like he is going to load up that box. It's going to be crazy.

• 2:01:37Speaker 00

  They're coming from everywhere.

• 2:01:38Speaker 04

  Where are they coming from?

• 2:01:39Speaker 02

  All different angles.

• 2:01:41Speaker 00

  Right. Middle.

• 2:01:42Speaker 02

  Every time you turn your head, there's a guy coming.

• 2:01:44Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:01:44Speaker 02

  And it's going to be, you, you're going to say, please stop.

• 2:01:48Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:01:48Speaker 02

  I need to stop. Time out. Too many guys are coming at me.

• 2:01:51Speaker 04

  So you're, you're telling me on Sunday, I'm going to be like, these guys got to stop coming?

• 2:01:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:01:55Speaker 00

  You're going to have to take off your glasses.

• 2:01:57Speaker 02

  Because they're going to come then.

• 2:01:58Speaker 04

  So I'm going to be watching this game and it'd be like, these guys are coming everywhere.

• 2:02:01Speaker 03

  I'm drowning.

• 2:02:01Speaker 04

  I'm drowning in come.

• 2:02:03Speaker 00

  Come.

• 2:02:03Speaker 02

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 2:02:04Speaker 00

  Guys, you're drowning in guys.

• 2:02:06Speaker 04

  My bad, my bad, my bad.

• 2:02:07Speaker 02

  I'm talking about blitzes.

• 2:02:08Speaker 04

  Yeah. Blitzes.

• 2:02:09Speaker 02

  I'm talking about sending guys from different angles.

• 2:02:11Speaker 00

  Right.

• 2:02:12Speaker 02

  Getting in the box, sticking your nose in.

• 2:02:14Speaker 00

  They're going to come from behind. They're going to come from in front.

• 2:02:17Speaker 04

  From behind?

• 2:02:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:02:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:02:19Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 2:02:19Speaker 02

  Penetration like you've never imagined.

• 2:02:21Speaker 00

  Jalen Hurts turns his back.

• 2:02:23Speaker 04

  Oh, they're coming.

• 2:02:24Speaker 00

  Guy's going to be coming from behind. Yeah.

• 2:02:25Speaker 02

  That's it. That's it.

• 2:02:26Speaker 00

  He shows his ass, guy coming.

• 2:02:28Speaker 02

  I, I do think that there's going to be a lot of guys coming. I do.

• 2:02:31Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:02:31Speaker 02

  Because Deronte Jones, he seems like maybe the next iteration of Dr. Heat, maybe, maybe even a mad scientist type defensive coordinator.

• 2:02:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:02:40Speaker 02

  Uh, so I'm, I'm looking forward to what he's going to do with that because this is a defense that, uh, is not going to be one of the best in the league. But maybe we can thrive on turnovers.

• 2:02:49Speaker 00

  And guys coming.

• 2:02:50Speaker 02

  And guys coming from directions that you don't expect.

• 2:02:52Speaker 00

  If you lead the league in guys coming, you will definitely, you'll at least, you'll at least announce your presence.

• 2:02:58Speaker 02

  Yeah. Yeah. It's hard to, it's hard to ignore that.

• 2:03:01Speaker 00

  Yeah, right.

• 2:03:01Speaker 02

  Uh, so yeah, I, I do think that the defense is, won't be as good as the offense, but I think it could be serviceable. Uh, and it, it's like the, it's a hallmark of a coach that's really desperate to change something up.

• 2:03:14Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:03:14Speaker 02

  Switching from like a four, three to a three, four, because they did a whole off-season of study and you realize you might get more turnovers.

• 2:03:21Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 2:03:21Speaker 02

  In a three, four. We've heard a lot of football guys kind of go down that road before. And that's kind of what Dan Quinn's trying to do with the defense this year. It was terrible, historically bad last year. Um, I think if we had a, uh, average defense last year and Jaden was healthy, it would have been a perfectly average team. Uh, instead it was the doomsday scenario, which I don't think that we're going to get two years in a row. And I think Jaden's healthy and I think he's going to remind a lot of people that the bad man's still here. And also, little fun stat.

• 2:03:48Speaker 00

  He's the bad man?

• 2:03:49Speaker 02

  The bad man.

• 2:03:50Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:03:50Speaker 02

  In this, in this monologue that I'm giving, trying to pu- pump myself up for the season. He's, he's a bad man. Um, the last time we had a rematch, a Super Bowl rematch in week one. Dan Quinn took a team to the Super Bowl as head coach.

• 2:04:06Speaker 00

  Oh, and we have a Super Bowl rematch because that already happened.

• 2:04:09Speaker 02

  Because that already happened.

• 2:04:10Speaker 00

  Right.

• 2:04:10Speaker 02

  So if, if that, if that holds, if that pattern holds, then yeah, look for the commanders in the Super Bowl this year. Don't ask what happened in the Super Bowl.

• 2:04:18Speaker 00

  Right. But still.

• 2:04:20Speaker 02

  But still he got there. So that's, that's where I'm at. Um, now.

• 2:04:23Speaker 00

  I'm excited to watch with you guys.

• 2:04:24Speaker 02

  In reality, the Eagles are probably going to win 35 to 10.

• 2:04:28Speaker 00

  No. Don't say that.

• 2:04:31Speaker 02

  That's just kind of what happens. And, and the Eagles, Jalen Hurts especially, great week one quarterback.

• 2:04:37Speaker 04

  Eagles are a good week one team. Um, but we got to see, it's a brand new offense. Could take a little bit to,

• 2:04:44Speaker 04

  you know, get situated.

• 2:04:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:04:46Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:04:46Speaker 04

  Get situated. I couldn't think of the right word, but whatever. It's fine. That was close enough.

• 2:04:50Speaker 02

  The Penn State all-time leading rusher is going up against Saquon Barkley this weekend. Pretty cool.

• 2:04:56Speaker 00

  That is pretty cool.

• 2:04:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:04:58Speaker 00

  That's correct. Yeah. All right. Uh, last Sunday afternoon game Cardinals and Chargers. All I got for this is Jim Harbaugh's quote, which was so fucking awesome. He said, it's September, it's time to play our first game. And I support no cause foreign or domestic, other than the greatness of the Los Angeles Chargers.

• 2:05:16Speaker 02

  Yep. That is, uh, that is Harbaugh's annual quote that he's given, probably going back to when he was in San Diego.

• 2:05:22Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 2:05:23Speaker 02

  But he, he looks at a football team as a sovereign country, as a nation of its own, and he is their leader. And he takes an annual oath of office every summer before it starts. We're talking to Sam Schwartz about this a while ago. That's like his favorite thing to say.

• 2:05:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:05:37Speaker 02

  Is foreign and domestic.

• 2:05:38Speaker 00

  Yes. Uh, this is a must win for the Chargers. Do we all agree? You gotta win this game.

• 2:05:43Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 2:05:43Speaker 00

  Yes. Have to win this game.

• 2:05:44Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 2:05:45Speaker 00

  Have to win this game. Uh, I'm excited to see Mike McDaniel, how that looks with Justin Herbert and that offense. Jim Harbaugh did say that, uh, Mike McDaniel reminds him of a young Jimmy Harbaugh.

• 2:05:58Speaker 02

  How about that?

• 2:05:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:05:59Speaker 02

  He carries around a pencil when he's around McDaniel.

• 2:06:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:06:02Speaker 02

  Just to, to write down his quotes.

• 2:06:04Speaker 00

  Yeah. And then they followed up and asked, did you ever dress like Mike McDaniel? He said, no. I think that's probably fair to say.

• 2:06:10Speaker 02

  I love that.

• 2:06:10Speaker 00

  Fair to say. Uh, Jeremiah loves, uh, QB, uh, RB2, which I don't think matters. I think Michael four even said, like, don't even look into that. I think he's gonna, I think there, it seems like the Cardinals are gonna try to use Jeremiah love. A good amount, but not too much. Cause why would you waste them in a year that probably is not gonna end up in the playoffs? So get them ready, get, get them going, but don't, don't have them be like, uh, 250 carry guy.

• 2:06:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, this is, it is though, a must win for the Chargers.

• 2:06:38Speaker 00

  A hundred percent.

• 2:06:39Speaker 02

  Without a doubt, you have to win this game. Um, I asked Blutman, Liam Blutman, if he had any fun facts about any players? Because he just remembers everything that's ever been said about any player on any college broadcast ever. In this game, he said.

• 2:06:53Speaker 02

  Diane Henley's dad is Eugene Big U Henley. Who was the leader of the rolling 60s Crips in Los Angeles.

• 2:07:01Speaker 00

  That's pretty cool.

• 2:07:02Speaker 02

  So that's pretty cool. That's his fun fact of the day.

• 2:07:05Speaker 00

  That is very cool. Uh, all right. Should we do Sunday night football? And then we'll do some picks. So Sunday night football, Cowboys at Giants, Giants plus three, over, under 48 and a half. This is hungry dog, you said? Dak does own the, the Giants, it feels like, doesn't it? He's, uh, I saw the stat. This is actually the 13th time that the Cowboys will begin a game again, uh, the season. With the Giants, they are 11 and one in the previous 12 games. And Dak, uh, in his career against NFC East foes is 37 and 10 straight up. So he's good against all the NFC.

• 2:07:42Speaker 02

  He is, yeah.

• 2:07:43Speaker 00

  East.

• 2:07:43Speaker 02

  Do you know, do you know how long it's been since the Giants have scored a touchdown in a week one game?

• 2:07:51Speaker 00

  Three years.

• 2:07:52Speaker 02

  Been four years.

• 2:07:52Speaker 00

  Four years.

• 2:07:53Speaker 02

  Been four years.

• 2:07:54Speaker 00

  Damn.

• 2:07:55Speaker 02

  So 2022, I guess four years as of right now, but just, it would be just barely over four years. If and when they do score their first touchdown.

• 2:08:04Speaker 00

  Okay. So we're looking for a Giants touchdown.

• 2:08:06Speaker 02

  We're gonna get one. We're definitely gonna get one this week.

• 2:08:09Speaker 03

  OBJ.

• 2:08:10Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:08:11Speaker 03

  The catch rematch.

• 2:08:13Speaker 02

  He looks great.

• 2:08:14Speaker 03

  How many times are they gonna show that catch?

• 2:08:17Speaker 00

  At least once. Has to be. I was in the car for that catch. I don't remember where I was going, but I was listening to it on radio.

• 2:08:24Speaker 02

  How did they describe it?

• 2:08:25Speaker 00

  They were just like, oh my God, I can't believe you caught it.

• 2:08:28Speaker 02

  It's pretty good. Yeah.

• 2:08:29Speaker 00

  Yeah, that was pretty much it. I just remember like them getting home and being like, oh shit, that was a sick catch.

• 2:08:35Speaker 02

  If that catch happened right now, how, how much attention do you think it would get?

• 2:08:41Speaker 00

  A lot, a lot.

• 2:08:42Speaker 02

  The same amount?

• 2:08:43Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:08:43Speaker 02

  As did before?

• 2:08:45Speaker 00

  I don't remember. Was that catch? Was it incomple-? No, it was, it was.

• 2:08:49Speaker 02

  It was an and one.

• 2:08:49Speaker 00

  Yeah, it was.

• 2:08:50Speaker 02

  Cause he got interfered with. Yeah. I'm, I'm just thinking that because we've gotten kinda desensitized to one handed catches.

• 2:08:55Speaker 00

  And there's been a lot of, yeah, like really incredible catches.

• 2:08:58Speaker 02

  That catch, we talked about that catch for like a week, nonstop.

• 2:09:02Speaker 00

  I think it was, yeah.

• 2:09:03Speaker 02

  It was the number one topic.

• 2:09:04Speaker 03

  Well, Sunday night football, that was why I feel like.

• 2:09:06Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:09:07Speaker 00

  Yeah. Um, okay. Should we do our picks? And we also have to do our parlay, right? So DraftKings, DraftKings, the wait is over, football's here. No, and so is DraftKings. DraftKings sports app is now live in all 50 states. That means from Texas to California to Florida, every fan is in on the excitement.

  That's code TAKE in partnership with DraftKings. The crown is yours. Touchdown parlay. Let's do that first. So me, Hank, PFT, if someone doesn't get it, they're subbed out and Max is subbed in. Hank?

• 2:10:04Speaker 03

  I, I was gonna take Jeremiah love until you just talked about it. And now I'm, I'm scared. I'm gonna go Devonta Smith.

• 2:10:11Speaker 00

  Okay. Devonte Smith, uh, PFT.

• 2:10:15Speaker 02

  I'm gonna go Aaron Jones.

• 2:10:18Speaker 00

  Aaron Jones.

• 2:10:19Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:10:20Speaker 00

  Okay. I'm, do you guys wanna get, do you wanna get a little crazy or no? Do you wanna get, do you wanna get a little crazy?

• 2:10:27Speaker 02

  Get a little crazy.

• 2:10:29Speaker 00

  All right. It's not that crazy. Um, with Brock Bowers out, I'm gonna go Michael Mayer.

• 2:10:34Speaker 02

  Okay. Yeah.

• 2:10:35Speaker 00

  So those are all afternoon. Wait, do we have a night game? Shit, we don't have a Sunday night.

• 2:10:40Speaker 04

  $10 pays 242.76 for that parlay.

• 2:10:44Speaker 00

  Whoa, whoa.

• 2:10:47Speaker 00

  Should we do our picks? What are we gonna do for punishment? Do we have any ideas? We can always decide a little bit later. We could always run back drive to LA.

• 2:10:53Speaker 02

  Drive to LA was kinda fun last time.

• 2:10:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:10:57Speaker 02

  Except for the night in Memphis. That was bad.

• 2:10:59Speaker 00

  We could also, uh, roller blade to San Diego.

• 2:11:03Speaker 03

  That was my idea.

• 2:11:05Speaker 04

  Oh, mine, mine was also some with roller blading.

• 2:11:07Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:11:08Speaker 04

  Just roller blade week.

• 2:11:10Speaker 00

  Only roller.

• 2:11:11Speaker 02

  Get around on blades.

• 2:11:12Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:11:13Speaker 00

  Oh, man.

• 2:11:14Speaker 02

  That sounds kinda cool.

• 2:11:15Speaker 04

  I, I said to memes that for the next, for the entire off season, the loser has to mukbang every time they get fast food. Make a video of yourself mukbanging.

• 2:11:24Speaker 02

  What is mukbanging again? It's literally just eating a meal and then describing what you're eating.

• 2:11:30Speaker 04

  And you, you place it out in front of, you've, you've seen him.

• 2:11:33Speaker 02

  You put it in front of you and you're like, I'm gonna eat the fries now. These are fries from McDonald's. Mmm, that's crispy fries.

• 2:11:38Speaker 00

  Got it.

• 2:11:39Speaker 04

  Wow. Shock of clock. Okay. So every time you get fast food, gotta make a video.

• 2:11:42Speaker 00

  Okay. What about a bobblehead week? You just wear a helmet and a guardian cab all week? I like that.

• 2:11:49Speaker 02

  Not a bad idea.

• 2:11:50Speaker 04

  Uh, I thought of, uh, a chained together scavenger hunt.

• 2:11:54Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 2:11:55Speaker 04

  So second place and last place.

• 2:12:00Speaker 04

  Goes on, we, the four winners give clues to people. Let's say Jerry O'Connell. You have to find Jerry O'Connell in LA. He has a key. He gives you the key and a clue to the next key. And then so on, so forth.

• 2:12:15Speaker 03

  I was thinking, what about, uh, who, you know, depending on who it is, they have to, and maybe like, get, even get like prosthetic makeup. To a celebrity that they look the most like, and then go walk around the Hollywood Walk of Fame for like three hours and take pictures with people.

• 2:12:31Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:12:31Speaker 00

  Okay. What about losers or loser in second place has to fix Jerry O'Connell's driveway?

• 2:12:38Speaker 02

  That's not a bad, I was gonna say.

• 2:12:40Speaker 00

  Get the actual, like you have to get cement and like mix it.

• 2:12:45Speaker 02

  I was gonna say loser just has to stay at Jerry O'Connell's house, but also fix his driveway.

• 2:12:51Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:12:53Speaker 04

  I feel like fixing the driveway.

• 2:12:57Speaker 00

  Oh, it's doable.

• 2:12:58Speaker 04

  It's definitely already fixed.

• 2:13:00Speaker 02

  Okay, then maybe you have to, you have to break it.

• 2:13:02Speaker 04

  You have to break it and then fix it.

• 2:13:03Speaker 02

  And then refix it. Yeah.

• 2:13:04Speaker 04

  I like that.

• 2:13:05Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:13:06Speaker 04

  The second place person gets to, has to break it. The last place person has to fix.

• 2:13:10Speaker 00

  What about the second, what about the last place person has to fix Jerry O'Connell's driveway while the second place person has to swim consecut-? Like can't put their feet on the bottom of his pool.

• 2:13:20Speaker 04

  I would much over.

• 2:13:21Speaker 00

  It'd be hours.

• 2:13:22Speaker 04

  I would, I would die.

• 2:13:23Speaker 00

  Yeah. Tread water?

• 2:13:24Speaker 02

  That'd be hours.

• 2:13:25Speaker 00

  Tread water? No?

• 2:13:28Speaker 04

  I don't think that's possible.

• 2:13:29Speaker 02

  I kinda like the idea of, of maybe a sleepover and fixing.

• 2:13:34Speaker 04

  One sleepover.

• 2:13:35Speaker 00

  Dom just said, drive the OJ pursuit, uh, drive the OJ pursuit route in Vanny same speed.

• 2:13:43Speaker 04

  That's just driving, isn't it?

• 2:13:45Speaker 00

  Yeah, but that's going pretty slow.

• 2:13:47Speaker 02

  If the Broncos are in the Superbowl, then maybe.

• 2:13:49Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:13:50Speaker 04

  I don't like that.

• 2:13:53Speaker 00

  Did Dom have to mansplain something to you?

• 2:13:57Speaker 03

  Uh, he was like, can I explain why I said that? I said, no. And then he just proceeded.

• 2:14:04Speaker 00

  Being the, the shut the fuck up bitch.

• 2:14:06Speaker 03

  And then he just proceeded to explain it while I was standing there. And I was like, I.

• 2:14:09Speaker 02

  I thought it was a pretty good explanation.

• 2:14:11Speaker 03

  Explain it.

• 2:14:11Speaker 02

  Explanation. It was, I, it was like Hank was being a bitch and he, I wanted to tell him to shut up.

• 2:14:15Speaker 00

  Oh, okay. Oh, by the way, I'm breaking moose.

• 2:14:21Speaker 00

  Breaking moose. I can report, uh, that. That was the first zoo Jared Goff had been to as an adult. He said over 20 years.

• 2:14:33Speaker 02

  Crazy.

• 2:14:34Speaker 00

  So that was why he was just like, whoa, this is crazy.

• 2:14:38Speaker 02

  That is kinda.

• 2:14:39Speaker 00

  Animals everywhere. Said it rocked though. Said it was awesome time. He said it was a good zoo.

• 2:14:43Speaker 02

  That, let that be a lesson. Zoos are for adults too.

• 2:14:46Speaker 00

  Yeah. I guess that makes sense. Like you probably have a pretty big gap in going to a zoo between being a kid and maybe having a kid. That it's like, I didn't go to a zoo.

• 2:14:57Speaker 04

  I've been to one zoo as an adult.

• 2:14:59Speaker 00

  Was it fun?

• 2:15:00Speaker 04

  Great time.

• 2:15:01Speaker 00

  Yeah, zoos are awesome.

• 2:15:02Speaker 04

  You wanna know where it was?

• 2:15:03Speaker 00

  Where?

• 2:15:04Speaker 04

  California.

• 2:15:05Speaker 00

  San Diego?

• 2:15:06Speaker 04

  San Diego.

• 2:15:06Speaker 00

  Well, okay. So you didn't, you, you buried the lead there. I, I specifically said San Diego Zoo, take that out.

• 2:15:12Speaker 02

  You live like a, a half mile from the Chicago Zoo.

• 2:15:15Speaker 04

  Never been. Actually I've walked or I've, yeah. I've never gone inside of the, the grounds of it. I've, I've seen some of the animals walking through the park though.

• 2:15:25Speaker 02

  You've stalked the perimeter?

• 2:15:26Speaker 04

  Yeah. On, if you walk around the perimeter, you can see some of them.

• 2:15:29Speaker 00

  You, so you're like, oh, I'm getting some free looks at these animals, even though the zoo itself is free?

• 2:15:34Speaker 04

  Well, I just haven't like gone through the effort of going into the free.

• 2:15:37Speaker 02

  Yeah. Cause that's, that's how they get you.

• 2:15:39Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:15:39Speaker 02

  Once you get inside, then.

• 2:15:41Speaker 04

  Nothing is ever free.

• 2:15:42Speaker 02

  See the popcorn.

• 2:15:43Speaker 00

  True.

• 2:15:43Speaker 02

  And the sodas.

• 2:15:44Speaker 04

  Do they have all that too?

• 2:15:45Speaker 00

  Yeah. Popcorn, pretzels, everything.

• 2:15:48Speaker 04

  Salt pretzels?

• 2:15:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, really good ones too.

• 2:15:50Speaker 02

  Airbrushed t-shirts.

• 2:15:51Speaker 00

  Really good. Little choo choo train that you get to drive around.

• 2:15:53Speaker 04

  Pretzels aren't as big here as.

• 2:15:56Speaker 00

  Whatever. It's fine. Okay.

• 2:15:59Speaker 02

  Uh, it's some also additional clarification on the Falcon Steelers game. Tua has hurt his back.

• 2:16:06Speaker 00

  Oh, no.

• 2:16:06Speaker 02

  So there was a report that he grabbed his back and then sat down on the grass at practice. Doesn't sound good. Cooper Rush, I think, took every snap of the ones. So we might get Cooper Rush against the Steelers this weekend, and if so, maybe a good move by Tua.

• 2:16:20Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:16:21Speaker 02

  After being, you know, threatened with his job.

• 2:16:23Speaker 00

  He's like, fine, I won't play.

• 2:16:24Speaker 02

  For bad performance. He's like, fine, maybe, maybe I'm just hurt.

• 2:16:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:16:28Speaker 02

  And so fuck you, pay me.

• 2:16:30Speaker 00

  Smart move.

• 2:16:31Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 2:16:31Speaker 00

  All right. Picks. Everyone's got to pick a spread and an over under, two picks aside. Let's start with memes. So we'll just go in order from that way. Memes?

• 2:16:42Speaker 06

  I will go with Pittsburgh Steelers minus three and a half.

• 2:16:44Speaker 00

  Hmm. That feels like that was way up for you, the Tua news, although I think you'd rather have Tua start.

• 2:16:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:16:57Speaker 02

  For sure.

• 2:16:58Speaker 00

  If you bet Steelers, you'd rather have Tua start, no?

• 2:17:01Speaker 02

  Yep. That's what I was thinking.

• 2:17:03Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:17:03Speaker 06

  Now Cooper Rush stinks, too.

• 2:17:06Speaker 00

  He had that one game, dude. Watermelon game. That was the watermelon.

• 2:17:09Speaker 06

  It was 10 years ago.

• 2:17:10Speaker 00

  It was not 10 years ago.

• 2:17:11Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:17:12Speaker 00

  No.

• 2:17:13Speaker 02

  Cooper Rush doesn't stink.

• 2:17:14Speaker 00

  Blatantly was not 10 years ago.

• 2:17:15Speaker 06

  Eight years ago?

• 2:17:17Speaker 00

  I don't know how many years ago it was.

• 2:17:20Speaker 00

  Don't ask me about the years.

• 2:17:23Speaker 00

  All right. Max?

• 2:17:25Speaker 04

  I'm going with the Jets plus one and a half.

• 2:17:27Speaker 00

  Jets plus one and a half. Okay.

• 2:17:30Speaker 07

  I'm going to go with the Ravens minus three and a half.

• 2:17:33Speaker 00

  Okay. PFT.

• 2:17:37Speaker 02

  I am going to go with.

• 2:17:43Speaker 02

  I'm gonna go with the Houston Texans plus one and a half.

• 2:17:47Speaker 00

  I'm gonna take, is it, what's the line right now on, I'm seeing conflicting lines. I want to make sure I'm exactly right.

• 2:17:59Speaker 00

  I would take Cowboys minus three.

• 2:18:01Speaker 03

  I'm gonna take the Browns plus eight and a half.

• 2:18:05Speaker 00

  Ooh.

• 2:18:07Speaker 00

  And?

• 2:18:07Speaker 02

  Stinky.

• 2:18:08Speaker 00

  And?

• 2:18:10Speaker 03

  And I'm gonna take the under in the Cowboys Giants 48 and a half.

• 2:18:14Speaker 00

  Okay. I'm going to take the stinkiest one. Tune into Barstool Sports Advisors back Friday.

• 2:18:23Speaker 00

  Dolphins Raiders over 40 and a half.

• 2:18:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:18:26Speaker 00

  Gross, right?

• 2:18:27Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:18:28Speaker 00

  You like that? You like how gross I got?

• 2:18:29Speaker 02

  Oh, no.

• 2:18:30Speaker 00

  Yeah, I got dirty.

• 2:18:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, where are those points?

• 2:18:33Speaker 00

  Why you looking at me like that for memes?

• 2:18:35Speaker 06

  That's a terrible over.

• 2:18:35Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. That's why I like it. That reaction is why I like it. No business going over.

• 2:18:43Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:18:44Speaker 00

  No business.

• 2:18:46Speaker 00

  Team stink.

• 2:18:49Speaker 02

  I'm gonna take the under in Chargers Cardinals 47 and a half.

• 2:18:54Speaker 00

  I like that.

• 2:18:55Speaker 07

  I'm gonna take the over in the Jets Titans 38 and a half.

• 2:18:58Speaker 00

  Ooh, you getting stinky with me?

• 2:19:00Speaker 06

  Stinky. That's not stinky because it's just too high powered offenses. You're running back your own teams.

• 2:19:07Speaker 00

  Max?

• 2:19:07Speaker 04

  Okay. I will be taking the over 46 and a half Bears Panthers.

• 2:19:13Speaker 00

  I like it.

• 2:19:15Speaker 06

  I now have to stall.

• 2:19:16Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:19:17Speaker 06

  Cause I wanted the Jets Titans over.

• 2:19:19Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 2:19:23Speaker 02

  It's also a Jets term is stalling. You don't want to do that.

• 2:19:29Speaker 02

  It's a little aviation humor. Try to keep up memes.

• 2:19:32Speaker 06

  The Buffalo Bills Houston Texans over 44 and a half.

• 2:19:39Speaker 00

  All right. We're off and running, boys. We're off and running.

• 2:19:44Speaker 02

  Can't wait.

• 2:19:44Speaker 00

  Let's get to our interview with Scott Hanson. Jacks us up for some football. Gets us so excited. PFT, before we do that, you got a quick ad?

• 2:19:52Speaker 02

  Before we get to our good friend, Scott Hanson, he's brought to you by Chevy. We love Chevy here on Part of My Take. They are the full back of trucks. They're the official truck sponsor of Part of My Take. They're the truck that got us to and fro the Super Bowl in Los Angeles last time it was there. They got best in class standard torque, the most functional bed and advanced tech. It's football guy approved. So whether you're grinding through the week or if you're gearing up for kickoff, there's one ride that's always game ready. That is the Chevy Silverado. Silverado keeps that heartbeat strong. It is the heartbeat of America. So if you're towing, if you're hauling, if you're tailgating, Silverado will let you show up strong and tackle any task.

• 2:20:35Speaker 02

  Check out the current offers on the 2026 Silverado at chevy.com. That is chevy.com. The heartbeat of America, Chevrolet. And now here is Scott Hanson.

• 2:20:46Speaker 00

  Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest. We are so excited for football to be back. It is host of Red Zone, Scott Hanson, the man. He's here with Lowe's, which I, I, I walked into the office, I think it was yesterday, Scott. And I just saw on the ground, I was like, oh, there's a Lowe's Chicago Bears toolbox for me. I'm not a tool guy, but now I might have to be.

• 2:21:15Speaker 06

  Dude, it's a, it's a receptacle. Find something to do with it, even if it's not a wrench.

• 2:21:20Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 2:21:20Speaker 06

  These things are, these things are awesome. First of all, Big Cat and PFT, it is great to be back with you, boys. It's been several years, I believe, since we've been reunited and happy new year to one and all. Yeah, let me talk about Lowe's real quick and then we're going to get in all the football, I'm sure. So yeah, I'm partnered with Lowe's again this year and Lowe's has your, their Earn Your Sunday campaign. The concept is this, we all got stuff around the house we gotta do, whether it's a tiny little project or a massive renovation. Well, the concept is you go to Lowe's during the weekday, you get your tools, you get your supplies. You get everything taken care of on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, so that you have earned your Sunday

• 2:22:02Speaker 06

  and can plop your butt on the tele, on the couch to watch TV for, let's just say, seven hours of a red zone, red zone Sunday. And you have earned your Sunday and Lowe's has partnered with some of the biggest names in the game to get that messaging out there. Dak Prescott, Christian McCaffrey, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Love is new this year and new this year. A rookie on the Lowe's home team, one of the greatest defenders of his generation. Miles Garrett will be featured in some of the marketing stuff. So yeah, it's gonna be a fun campaign. And beyond that, you just said it, Big Cat, the toolboxes. Check out this.

• 2:22:41Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 2:22:42Speaker 06

  The folks at Lowe's, honestly, the folks at Lowe's love football the way you guys and I love football. So they want fans to all, you know, to get into the spirit and whatnot. They partner with Cobalt to make these mini NFL toolboxes. It's a steel toolbox, just the way you would have in your shop or garage or your basement or whatever. All 32 teams available courtesy of Lowe's. You go to Lowe's.com and check those out.

• 2:23:11Speaker 00

  All right. So Scott, I love it. And you're exactly right. Like there's always some things you gotta take care of on Sunday morning before you get and sit on the couch all day. What's your Sunday morning look like? Cause you're, you're West Coast time, right? So what time are you waking up on Sunday before we, we just rip some red zone all day?

• 2:23:29Speaker 06

  Yeah. So the problem with me is I get so worked up and you guys know my energy. I can't go to sleep on Saturday night. The night that I need the most rest, I can't do it. I've been studying NFL facts for an entire week, all day on Saturday. I've got, for those watching and not just listening, I've got my media wall over here. I'm grinding on five college games.

• 2:23:53Speaker 00

  Hell, yeah.

• 2:23:55Speaker 06

  All, every three hours, I got the best five college games on. I got my computers going on, getting all my notes. So I can't go to sleep on Sunday. I get to sleep maybe around midnight, maybe one o'clock. The alarm is set for 4:30 AM Pacific time. I'm in Los Angeles. 4:30 AM Pacific time. I usually, my body wakes me up around four o'clock, 4:15. I don't even need the alarm. Jump into the shower. I don't drink coffee. This energy is natural. Don't need the caffeine. Head into the studio. I like to be the first one in there a little after 5:00 AM. I get the same salty, dense protein breakfast from the chefs at the network so I can retain water. So I can famously not go to the bathroom for seven straight hours.

• 2:24:39Speaker 06

  We have a production meeting. We go over the last little things. We rehearse the top of the show right before. And then you guys watch Red Zone, you know, the countdown clock that we start like 15 minutes before the show with the NFL Films music.

• 2:24:53Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 2:24:54Speaker 06

  When you're watching the countdown clock, Uncle Scott's in the men's room going for the final time, shutting it down. And then it's the willpower of a ninja and focus on the touchdowns for seven straight hours.

• 2:25:06Speaker 02

  That's, uh, it's my favorite time of the week. When I see that clock, the red zone clock for the first time in a year, I can't even describe the feeling that it, that it, that it puts in me. Just excitement is an understatement at that point. And then after the games.

• 2:25:19Speaker 06

  Can I, can I ask you something? I gotta ask you a question.

• 2:25:22Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 2:25:23Speaker 06

  Put you on the spot. Do you remember the first time I was ever on your show?

• 2:25:26Speaker 02

  I do, yeah.

• 2:25:27Speaker 06

  Do you remember the first question you ever asked me?

• 2:25:30Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 2:25:32Speaker 06

  Big Cat, you remember what PFT asked me?

• 2:25:34Speaker 00

  I would imagine it was, do you ever, do you ever piss during the, during an NFL Sunday?

• 2:25:39Speaker 06

  No, you guys were so keyed up about red zone and the greatness of it. I remember the verbiage because I now have the best answer. It stunned me at the time. Shocked that PFT stunned me. The first thing you ever asked me was, Scott, when, when you went to the octo box for the first time, did it move?

• 2:26:00Speaker 02

  It moves.

• 2:26:00Speaker 06

  And I'm like, what do you mean? Did it move me emotionally? Did it move me? Yeah, I was a little slow on the uptake, but after all these years, I have an answer for you. BFT, it moved so much. It needed to fill out a change of address form at the post office.

• 2:26:19Speaker 02

  It does.

• 2:26:20Speaker 00

  It's the best. It's so exciting.

• 2:26:22Speaker 02

  It does move. And then when it's all over, I gotta take a nap. It's, it's, you know, there's a lot of similarities there. At the end of it, when the day's over, do you just crash? Do, do, is it just you hit a wall? Or do you have to wind down?

• 2:26:35Speaker 06

  Dude, I'm, I'm a nut job. So I, I, I finish. My bladder is so well trained. When I finish the touchdown montage, right? The music video with all 60 whatever touchdowns on it. I pop my earpiece. I take the microphone off. I don't even have to go to the bathroom then. I go take my makeup off, get out of my suit, jump in the car, drive back home here to my place in LA, and put on Sunday Night Football. But then, showed you, I got five TVs. Sunday Night Football on in the big screen. That's a 70 incher. These are 50 inchers flanking here. I'll put NFL Network Highlights Show on there. ESPN's Highlights over here. Over on the far screens, I'll have

• 2:27:15Speaker 06

  news and then like a movie, Marvel movie or a Star Wars movie on mute that I've already seen before. And I can still have all of that stimulation. And that's how I unwind after.

• 2:27:28Speaker 02

  Is more, more TV. Yeah.

• 2:27:30Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:27:30Speaker 02

  I love it.

• 2:27:30Speaker 00

  Sure. That's a perfect Sunday.

• 2:27:32Speaker 06

  That's undoubtedly why I'm single and no, no one will ever have me as their, as their husband.

• 2:27:38Speaker 00

  Listen, that's a perfect Sunday that you just described. I also, it's dawning on me now, you might be the only person, and, and correct me if I'm wrong, who isn't upset when they do, I, because we, we gripe about this all the time. When the NFL does a schedule where it's like eight games early, three games late. That's probably good for you to be able to, to pace the day. I hate it. I think it always leaves us wanting more in the afternoon. And if, if one or two of those games a blowout, we're just stuck with it. That's where you come in and you can, you can get us back and forth. But I, do you like that? Or would you like there to be more even on a Sunday?

• 2:28:15Speaker 06

  Yeah. So I, I reached over here because I just grabbed something to show your audience here. Uh, when the schedule release comes out, I always say this, all politics and schedule releases are local, right?

• 2:28:29Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 2:28:29Speaker 06

  You, the coaches look for who do we play week one, right? The players look for the bye week or cold weather games in December, right? The red zone host looks for.

• 2:28:42Speaker 00

  Oh, you have it.

• 2:28:43Speaker 06

  The splits.

• 2:28:44Speaker 02

  Yeah. Oh.

• 2:28:46Speaker 06

  So we, uh, week one, early window is eight, late window is four. I literally make this on the day the schedule gets released. And obviously we got some planks because of the flexes and stuff that happened in mid to late December there. But that's, that's how I look at the schedule. And, um, four games in the late window is fine.

• 2:29:08Speaker 00

  It's, it's fine.

• 2:29:08Speaker 06

  Three feels slow, two is death.

• 2:29:10Speaker 00

  Death. Yes. Okay. So you agree with us. So all right. So that's good. Like I see the seven, three Sundays and I'm like, man, I wish we had an extra game there because you just run the risk of like, if one of these games is a blowout.

• 2:29:23Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:29:23Speaker 00

  And it always, to us, our Sundays are, are, are similar to yours where we all come in and we're in the office and we have all the games on. And it's like, the, the anticipation and excitement when the first games kickoff and you ride that wave. And then that, and then you crash a little bit at the end of the witching hour.

• 2:29:42Speaker 02

  And then the Cardinals come on.

• 2:29:44Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. And then the Cardinals are, are getting, you know, 20 piece and the Seahawks are beaten up on someone. And you're like, man, I want, I want another game.

• 2:29:54Speaker 06

  I stand up for the entire early window. I, you know, when that crash hits, when you're on the couch, maybe, you know, catching some Z's or whatever, and maybe some of the higher profile teams are, are playing in that late window. I sit down for the first time.

• 2:30:11Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:30:11Speaker 06

  And when I sit down, the energy kind of changes in the studio, I think a little bit.

• 2:30:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:30:16Speaker 06

  I mean, we ride it as best we can, but that trains down the tracks, guys. I'm sure you've explained to your audience why it's that way. Cause people tell me, you've got 12 games on red zone, week one.

• 2:30:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:30:27Speaker 06

  Why isn't it six, six? Let me just explain it if, if the audience doesn't know it.

• 2:30:31Speaker 00

  Please do.

• 2:30:31Speaker 06

  The reason is because the NFL wants a pseudo national game in the late window. We all notice that the game in a three game late window in the middle of October is going to feature, I don't want to name teams that are lower.

• 2:30:50Speaker 00

  Cowboys. Yeah, but yeah.

• 2:30:52Speaker 06

  Well, it's going to be your low profile team in a smaller market versus low profiler team in a smaller market. Same, same. And then Giants, Cowboys.

• 2:31:01Speaker 00

  Right.

• 2:31:01Speaker 06

  Bills, Chiefs, right? With Romo and Nance or, or Nance or Romo, or whoever is broadcasting that. Kind of stepped on that one a little bit. Um, you know, the, the national game, and they want to deliver one huge audience to a swath, large swath of the country for their partnership with CBS and Fox. So that's why there is lesser inventory in the late window.

• 2:31:23Speaker 02

  Yeah, it makes sense. We're still going to complain about it when it's on because we, we just want more football.

• 2:31:29Speaker 00

  And also my dream, my dream would be to have a slightly staggered, uh, start times like college football where it was, we had, we're, we're in central time in Chicago, like a noon kickoff, a 1:30 kickoff. So you'd like, you never stop, you know, like there will always be that random time where one of the games will go into overtime or a weather delay, and you'll get that like bonus game in the afternoon. It's like, oh, this game's still going on. I love it. So I wish we were a little more staggered.

• 2:31:58Speaker 06

  Well, they did create the Sunday morning specials for us. Here is the entire NFL.

• 2:32:03Speaker 00

  Look at this.

• 2:32:04Speaker 06

  In, uh, in grid form, the white and black rectangles are red zone games. That's Sunday, one o'clock, four o'clock. Any color on there is a standalone national game or an international location broadcast. So that's a visual representation of what it, what it looks like.

• 2:32:28Speaker 02

  Did you make that yourself? Or did you have somebody print that up for you?

• 2:32:31Speaker 06

  Uh, one of the great chaps at NFL Media Research kind of puts that out for us. I'll, I'll send an image online or send it to you if you like it. I love it.

• 2:32:39Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:32:39Speaker 06

  Yeah. I laminate mine because, you know, I live by it for the next five months.

• 2:32:44Speaker 02

  It's great. Yeah. We got a guy like that here at Jeff D. Low. He, he puts everything in grid format, laminates everything. That's how he keeps track of everything. I think you and him will get along really well. Um, I want to go to something that I hear all the time about you, which is like, all right, just in general, there should be a red zone for blank. It's almost like you can take any sport and people are like, oh, there should be a red zone for hockey. There should be a red zone for baseball. Um, how many different sports and things, I'm like election night, I've heard there should be a red zone for election night. How many different ones have you been pitched? And are there any that you would actually be interested in doing if somebody could put them together?

• 2:33:20Speaker 06

  That's a great question. And I, I think I've heard all of them. Um, I've actually participated in some. I am, I am the primetime host of Gold Zone for NBC and Peacock for the Olympics every two years. I did the Paris Games for, uh, summer and then just did the Milan Cortina Games and Gold Zone is what you think it is. It is red zone for the Olympics, right? 30 different events going on in 15 different venues. Let's take you to wherever. And, and that's fun. It's a little harder to memorize Isha Slava Skidish Vili's stats than it is, uh, Patrick Mahomes is, but, um, Gold Zone for the Olympics has been a

• 2:34:02Speaker 06

  good one. The other major team sports though, guys, it's not conducive to it.

• 2:34:06Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:34:07Speaker 06

  The secret sauce for red zone, honestly, is the 40 second play clock. Because I can get you to Dallas and show you what Dak Prescott just did and sneak in a Jordan Love highlight. And then maybe even something else from Detroit or wherever and get you back for the next Cowboys snap and you didn't miss anything.

• 2:34:26Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:34:27Speaker 06

  Baseball can't do that. Basketball, hockey can't do that. Um, college football now is very intriguing.

• 2:34:35Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:34:35Speaker 06

  And especially with the NFL, I don't know if this is super publicly known, but with the NFL Disney merger, uh, Disney ESPN got the rights to the red zone brand. So if they want to start college red zone and call it college red zone, they're able to.

• 2:34:55Speaker 00

  I'm in. Yeah.

• 2:34:56Speaker 02

  I'm in. Yes.

• 2:34:57Speaker 06

  Right?

• 2:34:58Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 2:34:59Speaker 06

  A little different feel because you don't, it, it, when you bounce from Lions Packers to Giants Eagles, right? It's, it's big, big, all that. You might be bouncing from Michigan, Ohio State to Akron versus, you know.

• 2:35:17Speaker 02

  Mississippi State.

• 2:35:17Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:35:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, somebody better. Yeah.

• 2:35:19Speaker 06

  But, but.

• 2:35:22Speaker 06

  Fans would find it and it would, I think it would find an audience.

• 2:35:25Speaker 00

  Yeah. How, how are we doing?

• 2:35:26Speaker 06

  What do you guys, you guys got any suggestions? Cause if, hey, I'm looking at green zone here. If it makes money.

• 2:35:31Speaker 00

  There you go. Yeah.

• 2:35:32Speaker 06

  Like, I'll try out for it.

• 2:35:34Speaker 00

  Yeah. College football would be great. Uh, I would, I would love to watch that. Baseball's very tough to do. I think basketball would be interesting. Just, yeah. Cause like, you know, like it's almost like the March Madness, you cut in live, uh, how it used to be when, when like way back in the day, when you only could watch one March Madness game and they would cut into it. But yeah, football is built for it. How are we doing, Scott? I know the last time we had you on, uh, I might've had a gripe or two about, uh, gambling etiquette. How are we doing with that? I know that most people don't care, but I do think there is a, you know, there can be a blowout and, and, and you're not giving us the same juice when a score happens that hits the over or a score happens that covers a spread. Like those are, those are important.

• 2:36:17Speaker 06

  Well, look at, you guys knew when it was years ago, when, when we had that discussion, I, I had a little bit of handcuffs on because the NFL hadn't embraced gambling yet. Now the NFL has multiple gaming partners. And of course, you know, the, the tail follows the dog. I'm allowed to say things more overtly than I would before. I will say this, and we were presented by DraftKings sports book for the, the last few years, right? The title sponsor. Um, I will look at something when a crazy play happens at the end of a game. I'll look at my, my right-hand man, Tim Galanions, and I'll be like, was that off camera, off microphone?

• 2:36:58Speaker 06

  Was that a bad beat? Cause I wanna, I wanna say something about it. Like I don't gamble. I don't even look at the point spreads. To be honest, I don't want that in my head, but if it's on the backside where I know my audience is howling about it at home. Like, oh my God, they kicked a field goal. They could've just knee, took a knee and they kicked a field goal instead. And that pushed it over or whatever. I wanna, I wanna at least give a, a nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Yeah, we're with you. We understood what that consequence was.

• 2:37:26Speaker 00

  Right. You kick it over to, yeah. That's what we need. Yeah. Yeah. The spread zone.

• 2:37:29Speaker 06

  But I'm not gonna, but, but it's not gambling zone. It's not, it's, you know.

• 2:37:33Speaker 00

  Agreed.

• 2:37:34Speaker 06

  It's, it's not, it's not gambling zone.

• 2:37:36Speaker 02

  Which I like, cause I, I think that people should be able to watch football and if they don't gamble, they should have an outlet that does not focus on that because they'll be able to, trust me, if you are gambling on the games, you can figure it out on your own if it was a bad beat.

• 2:37:48Speaker 06

  Okay. Yeah. If there's a 35 to three game, 35 to three in the fourth quarter, we're not showing it. Unless a guy does a cartwheel, a 360 spin and lands backwards in the end zone, we're not showing a play from that game. But if that game is 35 to three and the number is 38 and a half, and the other team decides to boot a field goal at the end, it doesn't mean anything to any football, but I get it. It's, you know, significant to some, as our friend Scott Van Pelt says.

• 2:38:15Speaker 00

  Football first, and then whenever there's, you know, a, a moment that looks like, hey, this doesn't matter. It does matter to some. Yeah. Exactly. All right. I think you've done a better job.

• 2:38:25Speaker 06

  Big cat, big cat.

• 2:38:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:38:27Speaker 06

  You of all people.

• 2:38:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:38:28Speaker 06

  Know how influential you are to red zone as an entity and a production. You know what I'm talking about.

• 2:38:38Speaker 00

  Are you saying witching hour? Witching hour was Francesca. I will not, I will not take credit for, for witching hour.

• 2:38:44Speaker 06

  You pushed it, you pushed it right towards my plate.

• 2:38:48Speaker 00

  Yes. And it is, it's truly.

• 2:38:49Speaker 06

  I told you, we have the actuality. I told you that I will, I'll call it the witching hour next week and run it up the flagpole.

• 2:38:56Speaker 00

  And it is, it truly is. We say it in the, like in the gambling cave, we will get to that moment on Sunday. We'll be like, here we go, witching hour. And you'll just feel, like you said, the energy shift where games start to flip. And oh, this team looks like they're in control and now they're not. And it's like, anything can happen in the witching hour. It really is the most chaotic hour of everyone's week.

• 2:39:17Speaker 06

  It's the best. It's the best hour in sports TV. And I, if there's a better one, show it to me because I'll, I'll watch it. But it's, it's the best hour on sports TV and, and hey, props to Francesca. I've heard his soundbite of being with Brent Musburger and Jimmy the Greek and all that back in the day and whatnot and, and doing that thing. And, and props if that's where it came from. But yeah, it's in the, it's in the zeitgeist now. It's not going anywhere.

• 2:39:39Speaker 00

  Yeah. I think we gave it some, some turbo juice to, to, to bring it to a new audience.

• 2:39:43Speaker 02

  And it does, you, you do, you say it at just the right time.

• 2:39:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:39:46Speaker 02

  Every week. It does feel like that's right when I start to lose. I hear you come on the screen. I'm like, this motherfucker.

• 2:39:51Speaker 00

  Everything goes to shit right when you say it.

• 2:39:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:39:54Speaker 06

  Can I tell you that we have a bit of a formula? We don't do the witching hour by wristwatch.

• 2:39:59Speaker 00

  I know. No. It's not. Yeah.

• 2:40:02Speaker 06

  This is probably the first time I'm saying this in public. So this is good.

• 2:40:06Speaker 02

  Breaking news.

• 2:40:07Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's not, don't, it's not gonna.

• 2:40:09Speaker 00

  No, I know. I'm, I'm very interested. This is breaking news.

• 2:40:11Speaker 06

  Do you want to guess as to how we determine when we should say the witching hour? Do you want to guess?

• 2:40:15Speaker 00

  I would imagine it's something about however many games have to be in the fourth quarter.

• 2:40:22Speaker 06

  Basically.

• 2:40:22Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:40:23Speaker 06

  If we have an eight game early window, my producer and I, shout out Todd Mossberg, Mossy, great, best in the biz. Mossy and I will be like, all right, we got eight games, four of them have just hit zeros at the end of the third quarter. Or one's already there. When we get about half of the games in any given window into the fourth quarter or at the end of the third quarter commercial break, we're like, let's start, let's look, can we call it the witching hour in the next 90 seconds or so? But what we're trying to do on the backside, it, cause when we do witching hour, I go to the scoreboard. Ladies and gentlemen, eight games going on across the national football league, five of them are one possession games in Detroit,

• 2:41:04Speaker 06

  in New England, in Miami, in Atlanta, and in wherever, Kansas City. And it's the witching hour. When wins become losses and losses become wins, boom, we want to cut to one of those games. That's a one possession game in the fourth quarter. So our director, Dustin Stern, has to be looking at the off ramp for the witching hour. You would think it's just a simple thing that, oh, get into the fourth quarter. No, it's, it's a, it is air traffic control. Trying to line up all the pieces to the right, right place. But that's how we call the witching hour, how we determine what it is. And I am told there are text threads across the world. And the NFL imports red zone to every country that gets NFL football.

• 2:41:47Speaker 06

  In fact, it's the number one way to watch football in a lot of foreign countries.

• 2:41:51Speaker 00

  Shout out, hey.

• 2:41:51Speaker 06

  I'm told there are text threads around the world that explode when they say, if you're doing laundry or whatever, get your ass to the couch. Hanson just called the witching hour.

• 2:42:01Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:42:01Speaker 02

  Yeah. Sitting on the couch, watching TV is our number one export.

• 2:42:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:42:05Speaker 02

  As Americans, we're, and we're damn proud of it too, by the way. Like that's, that's what we do better than anybody.

• 2:42:10Speaker 06

  We're the best. We're the best in the world. Come at us, bro.

• 2:42:13Speaker 02

  How sick were you at changing the channel with a remote back in the day? Is this something that you, you always had that skill?

• 2:42:19Speaker 06

  You know, the first NFL red zone episode ever, I called my mom up and I'm like, mom, you know, I'm hosting this new show, red zone. I think this could be a vehicle for my career. So she only watches football, like when I'm involved with it or something like that. So she watches and she's, and I call her up, I'm like, isn't it awesome? Isn't it sweet? We jump her out. She's like, Scott, you act like you haven't been doing this since you were five years old. She goes, you don't remember? You would watch the living room television with a game, then you would drag your dad's TV from the den with a cable swinging behind it in, in, and try and get a different game on that next to the family room TV.

• 2:42:58Speaker 06

  And then you go on the radio. I'm an old man, so I go back to when you were finding games on radio, try and get a different game. And then you'd have a magazine and a newspaper in front of you the whole time. And you would say, I'm like, yeah, you know, that's right, mom. I actually did use to do that. So yeah, I guess I've, I've always been slick with it when it comes to football multitasking.

• 2:43:19Speaker 02

  Yeah. You're a demon. And, and every year there's, you know, the NFL changes, which is what makes it so beautiful, why we love it so much. Are there any names that are keeping you up at night? Any new names?

• 2:43:29Speaker 06

  How so? I'd have missed it.

• 2:43:29Speaker 02

  Any new names, like player names that you're going to be called to say on the spot if they score a touchdown?

• 2:43:35Speaker 06

  Standby, standby. So me, Mr. Laminate, your, your buddy Low, what was his name?

• 2:43:40Speaker 02

  Jeff D. Low. Yeah.

• 2:43:42Speaker 06

  Jeff D. Low. Oh, Jeff. Yeah. Okay. No, I actually know you. Uh, laminate, here's your first round of the NFL draft, right?

• 2:43:48Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:43:49Speaker 06

  And who have I, who have I been stuck on? The, um,

• 2:43:55Speaker 06

  The Penn State guard, first pick of the Baltimore Ravens Vega. I gotta, I got my phonetics over on the other computer here. I, I own a, I, I forget his name. Um. Yeah, there's a couple of first rounders that I know I'm going to be doing. They gotta make plays for a little while. Uh, the Arizona State offensive tackle. I am a chore. I, oh, I gotta, I gotta, yeah, I got, I got work to do.

• 2:44:22Speaker 02

  It's right. It's preseason for, for red zone too.

• 2:44:24Speaker 06

  Preseason, bro, and I will be there or. Or I'll just say his first name if I have to.

• 2:44:30Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah. Initials work too.

• 2:44:32Speaker 00

  How, uh, is there a certain team that you like in studying and everything that you're like extra excited to, to have? You know, this season and be like this team I expect to be explosive.

• 2:44:42Speaker 06

  Yeah. I mean, there's a couple of teams. It's the NFL, so nobody knows nothing. If you would have had me on this show 365 days ago and I go, guys, guys, I got this. I've run the numbers. It's Seahawks Patriots in the Superbowl. So, so yeah, you'd look me like I'm nuts. So nobody knows nothing. However. Teams where the offensive talent seems to outweigh the defensive talent are grist for the mill when it comes to red zone. So I'm looking at the Dallas Cowboys. When they're on red zone, they're on national TV as much as you can be, right? But when they're on red zone, Dallas, although their defense should be improved.

• 2:45:23Speaker 06

  The Cincinnati Bengals are a team that is going to score 31 points a game, whether they give up. 30 or 32 points a game is the question of their win-loss record. Detroit Lions, a little bit like that. Their defense suffered, you know, tons of injuries last year, but the. Offense is capable of putting up numbers. I kind of look at those teams and I'm like. Yeah, we're going to see them on red zone, in the red zone, on offense, putting up numbers with some exciting fantasy players. Should be kind of fun.

• 2:45:50Speaker 00

  Yeah. The Bears are in that category, by the way. Bad defense, good offense.

• 2:45:54Speaker 06

  Yeah. Yeah. They lived on turnovers last year, bud. And that's cyclical. We all know that's cyclical. You cannot expect that. To happen this year, although they're ahead of schedule by all accounts. It'll be a fun year in Chicago.

• 2:46:06Speaker 02

  Do you have any, uh, any statistics for the red zone? For like the players' names that you've said the most, like who scored? The more, the most red zone channel touchdowns, because we've got some great players, obviously that play in the NFL since you're on the air. But I think a lot of them, they end up playing a, a, a large amount of prime time games.

• 2:46:23Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:46:23Speaker 02

  Uh, for national audiences, that sort of thing. So I was just curious if you, if, if there were any deep dives. And like, uh, you know, uh, deep statistics about the best players in the, the, the 1pm games.

• 2:46:35Speaker 06

  Yeah, I, I'll have to hit up, I don't have the answer off the top of my head and I don't have any, uh. Stats right available to me right here, but Tim Galanions, Brian Larrabee, my right-hand men that literally sit next to me. With their computers, they have spreadsheets going back years and they could tell you. How many touchdowns were scored in week four of 2012, right?

• 2:46:59Speaker 06

  The players' names, I think Tim maybe did it. I want to say it's like Derrick Henry is up there.

• 2:47:08Speaker 06

  CMC is one of the leading touchdown scorers we've ever had, because we started in 2009. This is season 18 for us. So you gotta think of longevity of career and. An excellent player over the longer course of that. I think it was Derrick Henry is the player that scored the most touchdowns. On NFL red zone over the course of our, of course of our show. I'll check though. Rob Gronkowski was up there for a while. All the Patriots. Always had tons of prime time games.

• 2:47:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:47:38Speaker 06

  The usual suspects, quite frankly.

• 2:47:40Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, well, Scott, this has been awesome. I got one last question for you. It's a Roback question. R H O B A C K dot com promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Q zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com promo code take. Your excitement has me just like. I, I, I'm ready to go. You, that's what you, dude, that's why you're so good at your job.

• 2:48:01Speaker 02

  Sound like football.

• 2:48:02Speaker 00

  Like getting you, you, you, just being on this show right now and just being excited has me just fucking amped up for that first Sunday. I've, I've thought about it. We, we actually are, uh, in our gambling cave. We, we are getting new couches and I held off putting in the new couches until. The, the first Sunday. So we're going to have a whole experience of like, hey, we're, we're walking in. A little makeover. Yeah, it's, it's a special day.

• 2:48:25Speaker 06

  Get in there someday. I'll never get in there on a red zone Sunday, but if, if there's a March Madness or something. I will get my butt there. I would, I've watched your socials.

• 2:48:35Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:48:35Speaker 06

  I would love to do it.

• 2:48:36Speaker 00

  It would be awesome. All right. Zach, you're up. You got a question for Scott?

• 2:48:39Speaker 02

  I do. Scott, I do have a quick question for you. Uh, with almost two decades of red zone coverage under your belt, have you converted any other aspects of your life? To like strictly, you know, highlight basis?

• 2:48:51Speaker 06

  Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one. Um.

• 2:48:57Speaker 06

  What sometimes this is so bizarre. Sometimes if I'm not much of a cook, but when I cook. I'll look at my stove top with four burners and I'll be like, oh, quad box. Honestly, and it's like, it's like, it's like stupid stuff like that will hit me. Uh, I do a lot of shout out videos like on Cameo and whatnot, and I get asked to do like bachelor parties and weddings and stuff like that. So NFL wed zone is, is a term that I've coined that, uh, and there was a woman who incorporated allowing her husband. To watch red zone in her wedding vows during, at the altar, right? So it's, it's seeped into every area of my life and a lot of, a lot of fans' lives too.

• 2:49:42Speaker 02

  I love that. Good one, Zach. I like that.

• 2:49:43Speaker 00

  I love that. Good question, Zach. Well, Scott.

• 2:49:46Speaker 06

  Thank you.

• 2:49:46Speaker 00

  Scott, good luck this season. We'll be watching. Uh, we love everything you do and, uh, thanks for coming on.

• 2:49:51Speaker 02

  You really do sound like football. It's like the Pavlov's dog thing. Like I hear you and I want pizza and I, I want to be. Like screaming at a TV somewhere like I, I'm back in, I'm back in.

• 2:50:04Speaker 06

  12 days, boys, 12 days.

• 2:50:06Speaker 00

  Yeah. I love the tweets too. The two Sundays, two Sundays. Oh, man. Gets me fired up. Football's back.

• 2:50:13Speaker 06

  Thanks, guys.

• 2:50:14Speaker 00

  Thank you, Scott.

• 2:51:21Speaker 00

  All right. Fyre Fest of the Week. Hank, what do you got? Anything good?

• 2:51:26Speaker 03

  Yes, decent, decent one.

• 2:51:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:51:29Speaker 03

  Tuesday night, Barstool After Dark. Uh, we did a field goal kicking stream.

• 2:51:34Speaker 00

  You were great until you got injured?

• 2:51:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, I was like probably over 50% uh, my first 20.

• 2:51:40Speaker 00

  Probably.

• 2:51:41Speaker 03

  And then I got, I got dead foot. Um. I, I like hit a nerve or something on the top of my foot.

• 2:51:48Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:51:49Speaker 03

  Essentially how I described it is like, if you, you know, tap your left foot, tap your right foot. I could tap my left foot. I could not, you know, lift up my toes with, with my right foot. I could lift my knee. I could walk fine. But it's like, you know, if you're, if your.

• 2:52:03Speaker 00

  Your tootsies.

• 2:52:03Speaker 03

  Hand falls asleep, your leg falls asleep. Like you can, you know, it's there, but I couldn't feel anything on my foot. Uh, specifically like lifting up my toes, my tootsies.

• 2:52:13Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:52:14Speaker 03

  And I was driving home afterwards. It was late and I pulled into my building, into the garage, slowed down and I like, you know, went to go. Transfer from gas to brake and I, when you, I realize this after the fact, but obviously like. Driving is a lot of just lifting up your toes, switching from one to the other.

• 2:52:35Speaker 00

  That's a fact.

• 2:52:36Speaker 03

  And, uh, I like my, my, my brain was like, hey, lift up your toe. My toe was dead. My foot was dead. It did not respond quick enough and I like. I was going slow. I was going like five miles an hour, but I. Did not stop quick enough and just like I, I budged, I hit my garage. I hit the garage in my building and then.

• 2:52:58Speaker 00

  With your car?

• 2:52:59Speaker 03

  With my car.

• 2:53:00Speaker 00

  That's crazy.

• 2:53:00Speaker 03

  Car was fine. No damage to, to my car.

• 2:53:02Speaker 00

  Just ran into something in the parking lot.

• 2:53:04Speaker 03

  The garage, the garage went up and then it wouldn't come back down. The guy that was in the garage was, was, was, you know, freaking out. The maintenance guy had already left. Spent like 45 minutes with him, trying to figure out how to get the garage door down. And then I was, and then the next day they fixed it, but I talked to my building like, oh yeah, we have the garage people coming also. There might've been some damage to the roof. So we have the roof people coming. We'll let you know what the bill is, but later like the garage people came and fixed it real quick. I have not gotten the bill yet, but. I don't think, I was worried they're going to have to like completely take the garage down, put up a new garage door. Like there was no visual damage to the garage door. But it just wasn't, it was not like it's an automatic garage and it was going up and it was not coming down.

• 2:53:47Speaker 00

  So you hit the garage door and broke the garage door of your building with like hundreds of people in it?

• 2:53:55Speaker 03

  For like probably, it, it was fixed the next morning.

• 2:53:59Speaker 00

  Like it's like, if I broke my garage door, the only person who did inconvenience is me and my wife.

• 2:54:04Speaker 03

  Well, there's two garage doors.

• 2:54:05Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 2:54:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, there's an in, in and out.

• 2:54:08Speaker 00

  But no one could go in?

• 2:54:10Speaker 03

  Well, no, some, I get, it's happened before where they're, they're doing maintenance or whatever, where like they just, they turn it into a, you know, in and out. They just, everyone had, everyone comes in, everyone goes out.

• 2:54:18Speaker 00

  They combine it?

• 2:54:19Speaker 03

  Um, but the next morning, everything was fixed. So it was not, I was, I was worried that it was going to be like a, a, a long-term.

• 2:54:27Speaker 00

  Right.

• 2:54:27Speaker 03

  Damage thing and I was going to get, I was going to.

• 2:54:29Speaker 00

  People would start talking like, who did this? Oh, it's a guy with a dead leg.

• 2:54:32Speaker 02

  It was only like eight hours, you're saying?

• 2:54:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:54:34Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:54:35Speaker 03

  Yeah. So it was like, it was like 11 o'clock at night. It seemed basically like the, by the time the maintenance guy came back the next morning, like it was, it was fixed pretty quickly.

• 2:54:41Speaker 02

  So why again, did you drive into your door?

• 2:54:44Speaker 03

  Uh, dead foot. My foot was dead from kicking.

• 2:54:47Speaker 04

  I have a video of it right here.

• 2:54:48Speaker 02

  Did you think about taking your other foot and using it on the brake?

• 2:54:51Speaker 03

  Uh, in hindsight, I should have done that.

• 2:54:53Speaker 00

  How did you get home?

• 2:54:55Speaker 03

  I can lift my leg, so I just wasn't, it was just like, I wasn't.

• 2:55:00Speaker 03

  When I was driving, I was lifting my leg and I just, you know, kinda, it was a, it's a, it's a short turn.

• 2:55:05Speaker 02

  This might be what happened with the song.

• 2:55:07Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:55:07Speaker 04

  Look, look at the video that, that he, he sent to me. You can see his left foot. He can, he can tap it the whole time. And then he tries to go to his right foot. Nothing.

• 2:55:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:55:16Speaker 04

  But he lifts it.

• 2:55:18Speaker 02

  Yeah. Now, do you, can you, can you tap now?

• 2:55:21Speaker 04

  Yeah. So that's the best he could do with his right foot.

• 2:55:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:55:25Speaker 02

  So Hank, um.

• 2:55:26Speaker 03

  The feeling has come back.

• 2:55:27Speaker 02

  As someone who's, who's kicked some footballs in my life before, uh, what you're describing is not like, it's not super uncommon, but you usually have to kick a lot more than just, how many did you kick?

• 2:55:38Speaker 00

  Like 11 for 20.

• 2:55:39Speaker 02

  11 for 20?

• 2:55:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:55:41Speaker 03

  Pre dead foot. Yeah.

• 2:55:42Speaker 02

  And it's not like a nerve. It's just, it's just like your ligaments are tired. Your foot was just tired.

• 2:55:47Speaker 03

  Yeah. I'm not a foot-based athlete. Uh, I never played soccer, never played football, never kicked in my life. So I kinda knew I was gonna be bad. At kicking and I was actually pretty good until my foot died. Um.

• 2:55:58Speaker 00

  You're 11 for 20.

• 2:56:00Speaker 02

  Basically as good as Max is what you told me.

• 2:56:03Speaker 03

  In the beginning, yeah, we were like neck and neck.

• 2:56:06Speaker 00

  Is that true, Max?

• 2:56:10Speaker 02

  Max was actually pretty good.

• 2:56:11Speaker 03

  We all were.

• 2:56:13Speaker 02

  Max was pretty good.

• 2:56:15Speaker 04

  I was okay. I, for the record, I've, I've also never kicked, kicked a field goal before in my life.

• 2:56:21Speaker 02

  Hank, you were so lucky that Rico was there.

• 2:56:24Speaker 03

  But yeah, I mean, even if Rico wasn't there, our team would have won. Like I was getting them in the, in the, in the, through the uprights.

• 2:56:34Speaker 02

  I guess we'll never know.

• 2:56:35Speaker 03

  Until my foot died.

• 2:56:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:56:38Speaker 03

  But the last, yeah, the last 30, I was, I was, I was still trying to kick them. I was being a warrior.

• 2:56:43Speaker 02

  You are a warrior.

• 2:56:44Speaker 03

  Made it a lot worse.

• 2:56:46Speaker 04

  You, you must've been doing some weird for, like, I don't understand how that happened. Like the, what, what were you doing to get that result?

• 2:56:55Speaker 03

  I was hitting, I think I just hit, like, I don't know how, you know, the, the nerves on the top of your feet work, but I was, I was hitting.

• 2:57:00Speaker 02

  He's got weak.

• 2:57:01Speaker 04

  My legs are cooked right.

• 2:57:02Speaker 03

  You were kicking, you were kicking toe balls. I was trying to kick like a kicker.

• 2:57:05Speaker 02

  He's got weak ankle muscles. That's the, there's no nerves. He didn't hit a nerve. Yeah. His foot's just weak.

• 2:57:11Speaker 03

  Yeah. The, the feeling is back. We're, we're recovering.

• 2:57:15Speaker 02

  Yeah. Well, no, weak feet. Weak tootsies.

• 2:57:18Speaker 03

  Yeah. I'm not a, I'm not a foot-based, foot-based athlete. Never will be.

• 2:57:22Speaker 00

  20 kicks.

• 2:57:23Speaker 02

  You're not into feet.

• 2:57:24Speaker 03

  20 kicks, over 50%.

• 2:57:25Speaker 00

  Over 50%.

• 2:57:27Speaker 02

  Until you got hurt.

• 2:57:28Speaker 03

  Until the dead.

• 2:57:28Speaker 02

  But then you kept kicking and those stats unfortunately do count too.

• 2:57:33Speaker 03

  Right. But not, you know, it's all asterisk.

• 2:57:35Speaker 00

  So what are those stats? Besides breaking one garage?

• 2:57:38Speaker 02

  I'd have to look it up. Um, that's, we're talking about getting into some deep numbers here because most people just take the original 11 for 20 when Hank was, before he hurt himself.

• 2:57:47Speaker 00

  Right.

• 2:57:48Speaker 03

  I think it was like 11 for 50 or something.

• 2:57:50Speaker 00

  11 for 50?

• 2:57:50Speaker 02

  Yeah. I think it was about 11 for 50. So.

• 2:57:52Speaker 00

  Yeah. So you didn't make another kick?

• 2:57:54Speaker 02

  22%.

• 2:57:55Speaker 03

  No.

• 2:57:56Speaker 00

  And you broke a garage.

• 2:57:58Speaker 03

  Temporarily, yeah.

• 2:58:00Speaker 00

  Temporary break. All right. Let's see. What, what was the number? Go back.

• 2:58:10Speaker 00

  So you, did you stop kicking? Oh, so you were 11 for 46. So you.

• 2:58:17Speaker 03

  My foot died.

• 2:58:18Speaker 00

  26 misses.

• 2:58:20Speaker 02

  46?

• 2:58:20Speaker 00

  Yeah. He was 11 for 20.

• 2:58:22Speaker 03

  That's 26 kicks of heart. I was kicking with my heart.

• 2:58:25Speaker 00

  Can you go back a little more? Do you make sure that he was actually 11 for 20?

• 2:58:28Speaker 04

  I don't think they were updating it and.

• 2:58:30Speaker 00

  They weren't? Oh.

• 2:58:31Speaker 04

  Actually I have no idea.

• 2:58:32Speaker 00

  Yeah, no, they were. You weren't. All right. So he's three for 14 there.

• 2:58:37Speaker 02

  That's before you hurt yourself.

• 2:58:38Speaker 00

  That's before you hurt yourself. Okay. Three for 14.

• 2:58:43Speaker 02

  That's unfortunate that we found that.

• 2:58:44Speaker 00

  Yeah. Three for 14.

• 2:58:45Speaker 02

  I liked the narrative.

• 2:58:46Speaker 00

  That, but that also means that he made, oh wait, no, you can't go from three for 14 to 11 for 20. That's actually impossible.

• 2:58:53Speaker 02

  Yeah. That math, fuzzy math, but it does sound like Hank got better after, the more hurt he got.

• 2:58:57Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:58:57Speaker 02

  You just weren't hurt enough, buddy.

• 2:58:59Speaker 00

  So, so you weren't hurt for three for 14, correct?

• 2:59:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, but it took, I, I had never kicked before. So it took me like probably five to.

• 2:59:07Speaker 04

  I was also seven for nine at this point.

• 2:59:09Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:59:10Speaker 03

  Oh, three for six.

• 2:59:11Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 2:59:12Speaker 00

  All right.

• 2:59:12Speaker 03

  So maybe then that's when I got hurt.

• 2:59:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:59:18Speaker 00

  Oh, we gotta see, yeah, the stats on if they updated them. There, there you go. Right there. That is three for 11. Okay. You're getting worse. And then you were trying to find it.

• 2:59:40Speaker 04

  Oh, here we go. Here's one. Where'd it go? Where'd it go? There we go.

• 2:59:45Speaker 00

  Six for 21.

• 2:59:47Speaker 03

  That's not bad.

• 2:59:48Speaker 00

  So 11 for 20 was not, was never, never happened.

• 2:59:51Speaker 03

  That was rough. Yeah. That was, that was.

• 2:59:53Speaker 00

  That happened to be just one over 50%.

• 2:59:56Speaker 02

  So we're just thinking back to the first six kicks, literally the, the first six, you got 50%.

• 3:00:01Speaker 00

  You were three for six and then you're like, oh, my foot died.

• 3:00:04Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 3:00:05Speaker 02

  Again, just from overuse, from kicking the ball six times.

• 3:00:07Speaker 03

  But then, yeah, like 25 kicks of heart.

• 3:00:10Speaker 00

  Of heart. None of them made and a garage.

• 3:00:14Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 3:00:14Speaker 02

  And then you drove into your house.

• 3:00:15Speaker 00

  And possibly a roof.

• 3:00:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 3:00:20Speaker 00

  How did you damage the roof?

• 3:00:21Speaker 03

  I don't know. Like, yeah, we got the garage guy coming in, the roof guy. I was like, uh.

• 3:00:25Speaker 02

  I think if you.

• 3:00:26Speaker 03

  Am I about to like be buying this building?

• 3:00:28Speaker 02

  If you hit the garage door hard enough, it might just send it up into the roof.

• 3:00:32Speaker 00

  Yeah. Vervurated.

• 3:00:33Speaker 02

  Yeah. So no one could leave. You, you trapped everybody in your.

• 3:00:37Speaker 00

  Oh, there you go. That was your 11, 11 for 36.

• 3:00:41Speaker 03

  Well, that was post-injury.

• 3:00:42Speaker 02

  Yeah. Yeah. That's when it was all hard.

• 3:00:44Speaker 00

  But you had been walking around telling everyone who could hear 11 for 20.

• 3:00:49Speaker 03

  Yeah. Ish.

• 3:00:51Speaker 00

  All right. PFT, what's your fire fest?

• 3:00:53Speaker 02

  Uh, I've, I've.

• 3:00:54Speaker 00

  Good fire fest, Hank.

• 3:00:54Speaker 02

  Good fire fest. I've had a pretty good week. Mine is, is the other side of that coin where I feel like dangerously good. It's been probably three years since I've kicked a football, maybe two years. I feel good after that Tuesday night stream to the point where like, I'm ready to get back in the lab.

• 3:01:08Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:01:08Speaker 02

  Back feels good. The fact that I, I survived that entire thing without pulling something. Again, we're stacking small victories right now.

• 3:01:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:01:15Speaker 02

  Um, but Repoli, pick up the phone because.

• 3:01:18Speaker 00

  Let's go.

• 3:01:19Speaker 02

  I, I might not be Mr. 35 anymore. I might be Mr. 34. Fuck it. Maybe Mr. 35. Um, give me some time. I'm, I'm back. I'm back as a kicker.

• 3:01:29Speaker 00

  Are you worried about a dead leg?

• 3:01:31Speaker 02

  No, my leg feels great.

• 3:01:32Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 3:01:32Speaker 02

  My leg feels, it, it felt stronger.

• 3:01:34Speaker 00

  But I'm like, see, like, I didn't participate in the stream and, uh, I'll never kick a field, football again after hearing what Hank went through.

• 3:01:42Speaker 02

  I mean, yeah, it's, it's deadly.

• 3:01:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:01:45Speaker 02

  All it takes is one wrong kick and then you're a menace behind the wheel.

• 3:01:49Speaker 00

  He's doing a five mile an hour.

• 3:01:50Speaker 04

  Finished 84 for 87.

• 3:01:52Speaker 00

  Damn. No dead leg.

• 3:01:54Speaker 02

  Now granted, they were, uh, they were the old extra points. So 20 yards.

• 3:01:58Speaker 00

  Still.

• 3:01:58Speaker 02

  But still like, I feel like, and I wasn't, I wasn't trying to kick it too hard. I think that most of those probably could have been good from 30, which sounds awesome to say. I think I can get 35, maybe 40. You get me back in the gym, get the back still feeling good. I might be fully back. Now this is a very dangerous thing for me to say because there's a chance that like next week I.

• 3:02:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:02:19Speaker 02

  I tear a quad. Um, but we're feeling good.

• 3:02:23Speaker 00

  Rico went seven for 76.

• 3:02:24Speaker 04

  I was just about to say it.

• 3:02:26Speaker 00

  Thank God for him.

• 3:02:28Speaker 04

  Seven for 76 is so good.

• 3:02:30Speaker 00

  That's so funny.

• 3:02:31Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 3:02:31Speaker 00

  Chat things.

• 3:02:32Speaker 04

  11 for 46 isn't really that bad in comparison.

• 3:02:34Speaker 00

  Yeah. You did. Okay. Um, okay. Uh, my fire fest, uh, it's, listen, football's back. Excited for football to be back.

• 3:02:45Speaker 00

  I'm trying to plan to not gain weight this football season and I know that I'm already losing the battle because last night we had wings. Uh, tonight I'm sure we'll have something else and pizza and I had a couple of meatballs and ice cream. Um, I don't know what we're gonna do, but we gotta figure it out. I, Max and I were talking about potentially doing like dog fences, the electrical dog fences where we just fence off the kitchen and put on the collars. Cause the problem is I just stand up, I go take a piss, boom, blackout. I've had 10 wings.

• 3:03:20Speaker 04

  Sometimes I do a thing where I go, I'm, I'll, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna go make a coffee just so I can stand in there and pick while I'm making the coffee.

• 3:03:29Speaker 00

  Maybe we need to put the food somewhere else.

• 3:03:31Speaker 04

  I don't hate that.

• 3:03:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:03:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 3:03:33Speaker 00

  Maybe like put it somewhere that's.

• 3:03:35Speaker 04

  In the back, in this back kitchen.

• 3:03:37Speaker 00

  Harder to get to.

• 3:03:38Speaker 04

  I love that idea.

• 3:03:39Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 3:03:39Speaker 04

  I love that idea.

• 3:03:40Speaker 00

  That's actually what we should do.

• 3:03:42Speaker 02

  You have to make an intentional destination to that kitchen. There's no.

• 3:03:46Speaker 00

  You have to really walk.

• 3:03:46Speaker 02

  You never, you never casually walk past it.

• 3:03:49Speaker 00

  Right.

• 3:03:49Speaker 02

  By accident.

• 3:03:49Speaker 00

  You have to be going to the ice cream machine to get the, the food.

• 3:03:53Speaker 04

  This could change our, our, the, the future of our lives.

• 3:03:56Speaker 00

  I completely agree. All right.

• 3:03:58Speaker 04

  Just one little switch.

• 3:03:59Speaker 00

  Tell Jack McCarthy that's the rule.

• 3:04:00Speaker 04

  Right now.

• 3:04:00Speaker 00

  Right now. What memes? State your case memes.

• 3:04:04Speaker 04

  It's not gonna work.

• 3:04:05Speaker 00

  Why not?

• 3:04:05Speaker 04

  It might work for Max. I'm like, I, I don't know why he said it would work for me.

• 3:04:12Speaker 00

  Why is it not gonna work for me?

• 3:04:13Speaker 04

  You, I've seen the way you eat. You pick it. You're, you, you just grab.

• 3:04:17Speaker 00

  No, I did.

• 3:04:17Speaker 04

  On the.

• 3:04:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:04:18Speaker 04

  That's what I do too. Yeah. But if there's not pizza, you'll just go candy or snack. Oh, you'll still just eat. Yeah.

• 3:04:25Speaker 00

  No, because then I gotta open.

• 3:04:26Speaker 04

  No, you'll find a way. No, it's probably not gonna work for either of us, but I like trying it.

• 3:04:31Speaker 00

  We just need to take out all the food in this office.

• 3:04:34Speaker 04

  What if we play basketball before Sundays?

• 3:04:37Speaker 00

  I'm down. Listen, I'm gonna try to get on the treadmill before kickoff. I've been, I've been going to the gym for over two and a half days and I feel good. I feel really good.

• 3:04:50Speaker 04

  I was really good about going to the gym when I got back from the honeymoon and then the kicking happened and my legs have been in shambles ever since. So it's like, I'm not going to the gym when I'm already this sore.

• 3:04:59Speaker 00

  I just would love to just do one football season where I don't gain 15 pounds.

• 3:05:04Speaker 02

  You can do it. We can do this. I'm gonna be in the best shape of my life by the end of football season.

• 3:05:09Speaker 00

  Same.

• 3:05:09Speaker 03

  Same.

• 3:05:09Speaker 02

  I swear to God.

• 3:05:10Speaker 00

  Same.

• 3:05:11Speaker 04

  Wait, what the fuck?

• 3:05:12Speaker 00

  What?

• 3:05:12Speaker 04

  Is he listening?

• 3:05:15Speaker 00

  Who?

• 3:05:16Speaker 04

  He's, Jack is, is being, did you text him?

• 3:05:19Speaker 02

  Kick him out. Kick him out.

• 3:05:21Speaker 04

  I just said, we've made a decision about football food and he says, nope, your fat asses can just not eat it. It's staying up, up front. Learn self-control fatties.

• 3:05:32Speaker 00

  Okay. Well, tell Jack, get ready to learn fired.

• 3:05:38Speaker 04

  Jack has a. Spray tan.

• 3:05:39Speaker 02

  Yeah. Tell Jack, uh, Jerry's got something in his car he'd like to share with him.

• 3:05:44Speaker 00

  Yeah. We can go talk, we can go talk to Jerry.

• 3:05:47Speaker 02

  If you want to play that game.

• 3:05:48Speaker 00

  Yeah. All right, Zach, finish this off.

• 3:05:50Speaker 07

  Uh, we could just put hoodies on though, just to speak to the.

• 3:05:53Speaker 00

  Dude, that's the problem, Zach, is I know hoodie season is I'm about to buy a bunch of new hoodies and then I'm like, oh, I'm fine. You can't think like that. We gotta stay in front of it this year. Stay in front of it. What happens is this conversation always happens in like November where we're like, oh, it's gotten so bad. Let's get in front of it.

• 3:06:11Speaker 07

  And speaking of hoodies, what if we just crank the heat up? Wear hoodies. It's like a.

• 3:06:15Speaker 00

  Sauna?

• 3:06:15Speaker 07

  Yeah, we're like wrestlers.

• 3:06:17Speaker 00

  Yeah. Don't hate that.

• 3:06:18Speaker 07

  It's like watching football.

• 3:06:20Speaker 00

  How do we get in front of it?

• 3:06:21Speaker 07

  Basically a workout at that point.

• 3:06:23Speaker 00

  Yeah, and we, we quit after like three weeks, dude.

• 3:06:26Speaker 04

  Yeah, we're not doing that this year.

• 3:06:28Speaker 00

  That's the problem.

• 3:06:28Speaker 04

  Getting married.

• 3:06:29Speaker 00

  But that's the problem is we keep doing weight loss challenges. Why don't we just change our habits?

• 3:06:34Speaker 04

  I think the food going in the back is huge.

• 3:06:36Speaker 00

  Huge. There's no way I'm walking back there.

• 3:06:39Speaker 04

  Food's going, he, he keeps saying no, he, I don't think he has the, he has the right to say no to this.

• 3:06:44Speaker 00

  Not to me.

• 3:06:45Speaker 04

  That's what I'm saying.

• 3:06:46Speaker 00

  Right. Okay.

• 3:06:48Speaker 00

  Zach?

• 3:06:49Speaker 04

  How did he, how did he know that?

• 3:06:51Speaker 00

  I think he just knows that we're just talking about.

• 3:06:53Speaker 04

  But he knew exactly our plan.

• 3:06:55Speaker 00

  Yeah. All right, Zach.

• 3:06:57Speaker 07

  Um, my farthest week is, uh, I've been looking into getting, being a bike guy as of, uh, yeah, Tuesday, really.

• 3:07:03Speaker 00

  Uh, motorcycle?

• 3:07:04Speaker 07

  No, just like pedal bike or electric bike. Cause I had a pretty sobering moment, uh, in a ride share. That reminded me that strangers are strangers and you, you shouldn't trust everyone that you just take a ride home with.

• 3:07:15Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 3:07:15Speaker 07

  Uh, had a great day at work, great week really. So this isn't too much, but hop straight into the ride share. Took a couple of minutes to go around the office before I got my backpack and then the driver was just watching pornography.

• 3:07:26Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 3:07:26Speaker 07

  So. It's pretty uncomfortable.

• 3:07:28Speaker 00

  What kind?

• 3:07:29Speaker 07

  I, I, I just saw like just flash of sex and I, that was it.

• 3:07:33Speaker 02

  Was it on a, on a phone?

• 3:07:35Speaker 07

  Yeah, just on a cell phone. And then he kind of shuffled. I thought about making a joke about it. I was like, let's be lighthearted. And then he just started talking about Messi to Soldier Field. So we got past it pretty quick, but I might just be out on a ride share for a little bit.

• 3:07:48Speaker 00

  So wait, when he started talking about Messi, were you like, just put the porn back on, dude?

• 3:07:52Speaker 07

  I don't hate that move. Cause he was talking about really excited, just in the draw, in Soldier Field, something to think about, but.

• 3:07:58Speaker 00

  So Zach, you've just had two times in the last week and a half where you have just been, uh, like sex has been thrown in your face and you're not a sex guy.

• 3:08:08Speaker 07

  Yeah, one physical though, one just like virtual, virtual, that's okay. It's whatever, but.

• 3:08:13Speaker 00

  Yeah. So you're gonna, do you know how to ride a bike?

• 3:08:16Speaker 07

  Oh, definitely. Well, I mean, I haven't done it in a while, but yeah, that, what do they say? It's like riding a bike. You always know how to ride a bike?

• 3:08:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:08:21Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 3:08:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:08:22Speaker 02

  That's what they say.

• 3:08:22Speaker 00

  They do.

• 3:08:23Speaker 07

  I think that's what they.

• 3:08:24Speaker 04

  You haven't done it since you moved here?

• 3:08:28Speaker 07

  Maybe one, probably not.

• 3:08:30Speaker 00

  When's the last time you rode a bike?

• 3:08:31Speaker 07

  I can ride a bike.

• 3:08:32Speaker 00

  Are you sure?

• 3:08:33Speaker 07

  I don't like where this is. Yeah, definitely.

• 3:08:35Speaker 04

  We should, we're gonna need to, we're gonna need to.

• 3:08:36Speaker 00

  We need to see you ride a bike.

• 3:08:37Speaker 07

  I might be able to go one hand, you know, I might be able to tricks on it.

• 3:08:40Speaker 00

  One hand is not hard.

• 3:08:44Speaker 04

  You're like, you like have to be able to do one hand. So you can tell people behind you where you're going.

• 3:08:49Speaker 07

  Yeah, signal. Well, I've never done like transit bike riding. So like, I never had to experiment with the signal.

• 3:08:54Speaker 00

  Did you?

• 3:08:54Speaker 04

  But regardless, that, that's not a trick.

• 3:08:56Speaker 07

  That's an extreme trick. I was just talking the, you know.

• 3:08:59Speaker 02

  One handed, what is it? The X Games? You've never seen the one? Yeah. Or the Four Leaf Clover? You ever done the?

• 3:09:04Speaker 00

  What's that?

• 3:09:05Speaker 07

  Two off top, feet off the pedals.

• 3:09:07Speaker 00

  You do that?

• 3:09:08Speaker 07

  No, but you've never seen that move?

• 3:09:10Speaker 00

  I, yeah, I've seen it, but I, yeah.

• 3:09:12Speaker 07

  It's a great video.

• 3:09:12Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 3:09:13Speaker 02

  So you're going to start biking so that you don't accidentally.

• 3:09:17Speaker 00

  Oh yeah, this kid, I remember.

• 3:09:18Speaker 02

  So you don't get accidentally hit with porn anymore. That's the, that's the mission.

• 3:09:21Speaker 07

  It was more so just a reminder of like, oh, you're too comfortable just getting into strangers cars.

• 3:09:25Speaker 00

  That was the Rizler. Yeah, that was the Rizler.

• 3:09:28Speaker 07

  That's an all time bid.

• 3:09:30Speaker 00

  Fucking badass. All right. So you're a bike guy. I need you, are you, uh, very important question. You know what this question is?

• 3:09:41Speaker 07

  Why not? Maybe?

• 3:09:44Speaker 00

  I mean, I think you should.

• 3:09:45Speaker 07

  I think I should too.

• 3:09:46Speaker 00

  But it's gonna look very funny.

• 3:09:48Speaker 07

  Yeah, but it's safe.

• 3:09:49Speaker 00

  Helmet or no helmet?

• 3:09:51Speaker 07

  People can't drive here.

• 3:09:52Speaker 00

  I think you need to wear a helmet.

• 3:09:53Speaker 07

  Definitely gonna wear a helmet.

• 3:09:55Speaker 00

  Listen, can we put stickers on your helmet?

• 3:09:59Speaker 07

  Yeah, there's space on there.

• 3:10:00Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 3:10:01Speaker 07

  We could like, we could, we could come to an agreement.

• 3:10:03Speaker 00

  Get him like a shark helmet or something, something really cool.

• 3:10:07Speaker 02

  Oh, helmet with a visor?

• 3:10:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, you need a helmet.

• 3:10:11Speaker 07

  You think tinted?

• 3:10:12Speaker 00

  Yeah, you need a helmet. I don't, we can't get you getting hurt. All right?

• 3:10:16Speaker 07

  Yeah, guys drive too crazy out here. I would like in a different place, maybe not, but here definitely gotta go helmet.

• 3:10:20Speaker 02

  I want to get into the, uh, ways and means of how I acquired this thing, but I, I did happen to acquire one of those tiny dirt bikes.

• 3:10:29Speaker 00

  You know? Oh yeah, those things are sick.

• 3:10:31Speaker 02

  Real small ones?

• 3:10:32Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 3:10:33Speaker 02

  Zach, would you like a tiny dirt bike?

• 3:10:35Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 3:10:35Speaker 02

  Motorized?

• 3:10:37Speaker 07

  Uh, sure. I'm definitely down to hold that for a little bit.

• 3:10:39Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 3:10:39Speaker 00

  Hell yeah.

• 3:10:40Speaker 02

  I think that might be the, the best way for you to get to and fro work.

• 3:10:43Speaker 07

  If I one hand that, that's a trick though, right?

• 3:10:44Speaker 02

  That's a trick, confirmed trick. Yeah.

• 3:10:46Speaker 07

  Or no?

• 3:10:46Speaker 00

  Also, does he need a license for that?

• 3:10:48Speaker 07

  Probably not.

• 3:10:50Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 3:10:50Speaker 07

  Wait, we're not gonna look that up. So we can, we can plead ignorance if we have to.

• 3:10:54Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 3:10:55Speaker 07

  Uh, but I'll get it charged, ready to roll for you.

• 3:10:59Speaker 00
